Lyrics:  
I, man, am regal - a German am I  
Never odd or even  
If I had a hi-fi  
Madam, I’m Adam  
Too hot to hoot  
No lemons, no melon  
Too bad I hid a boot  
Lisa Bonet ate no basil  
Warsaw was raw  
Was it a car or a cat I saw?

Rise to vote, sir  
Do geese see god?  
“Do nine men interpret?” “Nine men,” I nod  
Rats live on no evil star  
Won’t lovers revolt now?  
Race fast, safe car  
Pa’s a sap  
Ma is as selfless as I am  
May a moody baby doom a yam?

Ah, Satan sees Natasha  
No devil lived on  
Lonely Tylenol  
Not a banana baton  
No “x” in “Nixon”  
O, stone, be not so  
O Geronimo, no minor ego  
“Naomi,” I moan  
“A Toyota’s a Toyota”  
A dog, a panic in a pagoda

Oh no! Don Ho!  
Nurse, I spy gypsies - run!  
Senile felines  
Now I see bees I won  
UFO tofu  
We panic in a pew  
Oozy rat in a sanitary zoo  
God! A red nugget! A fat egg under a dog!

That’s not what a palindrome is, though. Either you’re trying to make this some odd game that you didn’t explain in your original post, or you simply don’t understand what a palindrome is. Also, your original post doesn’t contain any palindromes, so I’m assuming you just don’t understand what a palindrome is.

Oh, oh, I see, yeah, you’re right. But I still don’t see what he was going for with this thread. Palindrome’s are awesome, but I don’t like when they’re just random nonsense words.

[quote=Wikipedia]A palindrome is a word, phrase, number, or other sequence of units that can be read the same way in either direction, with general allowances for adjustments to punctuation and word dividers.  
[/quote]  
Simple Examples for Palindromes:

1. Malayalam 2. Amma 3. Appa 4. Madam 5. Racecar 6. WOW 7. civic 8. kayak 9. level 10. Hannah 11. Stats 12. Mom 13. Pop

Phrases:  
Palindromes often consist of a phrase or sentence, e.g.: “Eva, can I stab bats in a cave?”, “Mr. Owl ate my metal worm.”, “Was it a rat I saw?”, “A nut for a jar of tuna”, “Ma is as selfless as I am”, “darnit, I’m mad!”, and “A Santa lived as a devil at NASA”. Punctuation, capitalization, and spacing are usually ignored, although some, such as “Rats live on no evil star” and “Step on no pets”, include the spacing.

Some well-known English palindromes are “Able was I ere I saw Elba”,[3] “A man, a plan, a canal, Panama”,[4] “Madam, I’m Adam” or “Madam in Eden, I’m Adam”, “Doc, note: I dissent. A fast never prevents a fatness. I diet on cod.”[5] and “Never odd or even.” “Rise to vote sir.”

An example of using spaces:  
Latin palindrome - In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni

The last part of that sentence isn’t a palindrome.

A palindrome is something that is spelled the same way forwards and backwards, like bob, its spelled bob both ways

Ok.

So, Spell the word Bob.

Then spell it backwards.

What do you get? you get the word Bob.

Any word(or sentence) spelled the same way backwards as it is spelled forwards is a palindrome.

Do you get what i’m saying?

I think you seriously don’t understand what a palindrome is.
