I'm working on a playlist of Songs That Are Just Lists of Things. Songs where the lyrics are just lists of stuff, repetitive lines, if you know a few of the songs you'll get the theme pretty quick. So far:

Mambo No. 5 -- Lou Bega

People Who Died -- The Jim Carroll Band

I've Been Everywhere -- Johny Cash (As an aside, everyone here should listen to The One on The Right Was On the Left for some vintage CW Roundup content, TheMotte collectively being represented by the guy in the rear)

Area Codes -- Ludacris

Orgy For One -- Ninja Sex Party

Blood of the Kings -- Manowar

I'm Too Sexy -- Right Said Fred

We Didn't Star the Fire -- Billy Joel

Girls -- The Dare

10 Things I Hate About You -- Leah Kate

We Got Two Jealous Agains -- NOFX

So what other songs should I add to this one? I'm open to foreign language songs if the structure is obvious.

Not quite following the requirements, but Boards of Canada - Aquarius comes pretty close.

Listing point starts at about 3:00.

Yeah, it's maybe not exactly what the OP was looking for (hardly any Boards of Canada tracks can be said to have anything resembling coherent "lyrics", apart from maybe In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country and 1969). That being said, Aquarius is a fucking fantastic track anyway so I heavily endorse its inclusion.

And along those lines, Gyroscope is another Boards of Canada track featuring a list of numbers.
