in case you’re unsure, an idiom is a phrase or expression used figuratively rather than literally. for example if you use the expression "he bought the farm" you are not referring to someone purchasing real estate, you’re talking about someone dying.
idioms fascinate me because they are usually bizarre. there are thousands of idioms in the english language. this song is made entirely of idioms.
idiom
it was raining cats and dogs
between a rock and a hard place
so I drove him up the wall
and down to the wire
at the drop of a hat,
an arm and a leg
he lost his head
for a piece of cake
so he went back to the drawing board
for a taste of his own medicine
with a chip on his shoulder
tighter than dick’s hat band
he was off the hook
on the fence
over the top
and out on a limb
singing
I’m an idiom
somebody’s pulling my leg
I’m an idiom
you must be pulling my leg
