I once had an icecube
Purty little icecube Now it's gone Now it's gone Her name was Mary Purty little ice cube Now she's gone Now she's gone She was so shiny, My purty little icecube Now she's gone Where she gone? She's gone with the others The shiny little icecubes Movin' on. Movin' on. She's gone Doesn't nothin' ever last forever? I miss my icecube Purty little icecube Since she's withdrawn I held her in my hand My chilly little icecube Was it wrong? Was it wrong? She slipped away My moist little icecube To oblivion, oblivion She left me standing With tears on my face On the lawn So I wrote this song Purty little icecube Where have you gone? Doesn't nothing ever last forever? Now she's gone Nothing ever lasts forever Doesn't nothing ever last forever? It's been declared That it's not wise To prize something too much I just wish to find something to Flaunt the right to Touch so gently Doesn't nothing ever last forever? |

My friend Fats, he's a hell fo a guy.
Let me tell you why. He's the epitome of neighborly. My friend Fats, he's a hell fo a guy. Let me tell y'all why. He drips personality. My friend Fats, he's a heck of a Joe. You should watch him go, Bopping in the band shine With a bota pag of fried wine. My friend Fats, he's a hell fo a guy. Let me tell you why. He's lowbrow nobility. My friend Fats, he's a jovial sort. When he's holding court, The anecdotes go round And the lager goes down. My friend Fats, he's a hell fo a guy. And just as long as he's high He has no anxiety About his chemical dependencies. Fats has no concerns About the candle that burns Both ends simultaneous, Both ends simultaneous. My friend Fats, he's a hell fo a guy. Let me tell y'all why. Not much for ponctuality, But heck on debauchery. Fats, he's a hell of a man, Can't y'all understand. Him taunting his mortality, He's unnerved by sobriety. |

To the carpenter and the dainty bride
The grass appears greener on the other side So let's clarify before we unite That the grass in never greener on the other side To the carpenter said the dainty bride I pledge to you my love tonight But I will not hesitate to euthanize If the grass becomes greener on the other side Said the carpenter to the dainty bride I would never do a thing to jeopardize This union I consider prize Grass never will be greener on the other side To the preacher man said the dainty wife He thought the grass was greener on the other side So I buried in his belly my butcher knife And ended these years of wretched strife Said the preacher man to the guilty wife Though the law may give you twenty years to life Pray forgiveness in the Father's eyes And the grass just may be greener on the other side |

He wasn't lookin' for fanfare or fame
but it all came around just the same. He then met a girl with desire in her eye, he gave her love, she took his name. The times they were good, the times they were bad, most times it was just in between. The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had, she put on display for all to be seen. Some find their solace in work or the lord, she was quite content in her dream. When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light, he found comfort in the bottle of Ol' Jimmy Beam. One day from the depths of his deep darkened hole, he reached out for something to feel. She offered back nothin' but lack of respect so he left himself out with two barrels of steel. She cried in the day, she cried in the night. She cried loudest when someone was near. Whether crying for him or she cried for herself, the bigger the camera, the bigger the tear. Most folks agree that she was living a hell and publicly she showed her pain. And never once was there a thought for herself, and the ever-growing slices of fortune and fame. Now on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride. On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride, on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride high. |

I'm a dog, a dirty flying dog.
I drink Campari with marinated wild hog. I've no sense, I like electric fence. I put barbed wire in my pants and do a celtic dance. But when I can, I'm a giving man. I'll flip you out the fire and back up into the frying pan. And if you're down looking like you're gonna drown. Of all your friends I'm the one who's most apt to stick around. I'm a drowning man. Who will save this drowning man. Who will save this drowning man. Who will save this dirty drowning man. You're so fine, so bright and shiney fine. And I'm so proud to say that you in fact are a friend of mine. And doubly pleased with crooked wobbly knees. I dive on in and backstroke right across these seas of cheese. But on the times when I'm not such a giving man. Please flip me out of the fire and backup into the frying pan. And if you're down looking like you're gonna drown. Of all your friends I'm the one who's most apt to stick around. I'm a drowning man. Who will save this drowning man. Who will save this drowning man. Who will save this dirty drowning man. |

The best of times, the worst of times,
the times you can't ignore. Sometimes you bite the bullet and flip flop on the floor. They tell you where to go, and they tell you what to do. They set your face on fire then stomp it out with their shoes. I ain't no fool. Mama didn't raise no fool. The times I can't complain are the times I do the most. On a diet of black coffee and prozac buttered toast. These eunuchs in their prada and Gucci flavored clothes. Wouldn't know a fresh perspective if it bit 'em up on the nose. I ain't no fool. Mama didn't raise no fool. Don't do as they say, just say as they do. No flavor's quite so bitter as the taste of one's own shoe. I ain't no fool. Mama didn't raise no fool. |

I am Antipop; I'll run against the grain till the day I drop. I am the Antipop; the man you cannot stop. As a young man, I plug into the tube, but the stench of all that pretense I cannot muddle through. I lay on my back and scan the radio all that comes out my speakers is a steady syrup flow. I suck information through the holes in my skull as my belly gurgles hungry my mouth is always full. I stood by watching and I seen 'em come and go. I seen 'em make that million then vanish in the snow. They come upon you like a pack of rabid hounds as they slobber in your ears and purge you with their sounds. Pushing misinformation through the holes in my skull my belly gurgles nauseous and still my mouth is full. I am Antipop; I'll run against the grain till the day I drop.

They called him Amos Moses Now folks in South Louisiana said Amos was a helluva man He could trap the biggest, meanest alligator. He only had to use one hand That's all he got left 'cause the alligator bit him. Ha ha! Left arm gone clean up to the elbow Just about 45 minutes southeast of Tipidow, Louisiana There lived a man called Duck Bill Sam and his pretty wife Hannah They raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries Named him after a man of the cloth.

Her honey belly pulls the seams Curves are still upon the hinge Pale zeros tinge the tiger skin Moist as grass, ripe and heavy as the night The sponge is full, well out of sight All around the conversations Icing on the warm flesh cake Light creeps through her secret tunnels Sucked into the open spaces Burning out in sudden flashes Draining blood from well-fed faces Desires form in subtle whispers Flex the muscles in denial Up and down its pristine cage So the music, so the trial Vows of sacrifice, headless chickens Dance in circles, they the blessed Man and wife, undressed by all Their grafted trunks in heat possessed Even as the soft skins tingle They mingle with the homeless mother Who loves the day but lives another That once was hers The worried father, long lost lover Brushes ashes with his broom Rehearses jokes to fly and hover Bursting over the bride and groom And the talk goes on Memories crash on tireless waves The lifeguards whom the winter saves Silence falls the guillotine All the doors are shut Nervous hands grip tight the knife In the darkness, till the cake is cut Passed around, in little pieces The body and the flesh The family and the fishing-net And another in the mesh The body and the flesh |

Said Tommy the Cat as he reeled back to clear whatever foreign matter may have nestled its way into his mighty throat. Many a fat alley rat had met its demise while staring point blank down the cavernous barrel of this awesome prowling machine. Truly a wonder of nature this urban predator. Tommy the cat had many a story to tell, But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did. She came slidin' down the alleyway like butter drippin' off a hot biscuit. The aroma, the mean scent, was enough to arouse suspicion in even the oldest of Tigers that hung around the hot spot in those days. The sight was beyond belief. Many a head snapped for double - even triple - takes as this vivacious feline made her her way into the delta of the alleyway where the most virile of the young tabbys were known to hang out. They hung in droves. Such a multitude of masculinity could only be found in one place... And that was O'malley's Alley. The air was thick with cat calls (no pun intended), But not even a muscle in her neck did twitch as she sauntered up into the heart of the alleyway. She knew what she wanted. She was lookin' for that stud bull, the he cat. And that was me. Tommy the Cat is my name and I say unto thee... Say baby do you wanna lay down with me Say baby do you wanna lay down by my side Ah baby do you wanna lay down with me Say baby?...Say baby |

Sold it to a truck driver in the night. Too many puppies with guns in their hands. Too many puppies in foreign lands. Are dressed up sharp in suits of green and placed upon the war machine.

He was a might golden boy, as gold as ever seen But when he stepped up to the podium, you could tell that boy was mean His arms was made of nickel, and his forehead made of wood An affidavit from the principal says, "This boy just ain't no good" He stood before the union, and he made a solemn oath Uphold the purity of his creed, the others he would toast He worked nights at the liquor mart, and he drank to pad his pay When caught him liftin' 40's, he shot a boy last May His Momma asked why? His lawyer in the courtroom, made a noble plea And the judge he gave him eighteen months, but he was out in three When asked if he ever felt remorse while sittin' up in that pen He said "Hell no, ya know a thief's a thief And I'd shoot the that fucker again" |

When I was born, the doc he held me by my ankles Smacked my red behind They hosed me down, wrapped me like a bean burrito Then marked the date and time Hats off, to the ones that string the beads together And keep the ducks in line Hats off to all the ones that stood before me And taught a fool to rhyme At thirteen, I made myself a motion picture Out of lumps of clay At fourteen, I pulled some weeds and bought a four string Taught myself to play At seventeen, I'd get naked with a beauty queen At the Hot Tub Zone At nineteen, she was livin' hard and snortin' drugs That decayed her bones Hats off to the ones that put it all together And keep their ducks in line Hats off to all the ones that erred before me And taught me how to survive |

They broke out in laughter again His lip beaded with sweat as they strapped him in And he stood by and waited to be called The talk was of times that'd gone by And the quantity and quality of women they lie His eyes welled with wet and his mouth had gone dry As he stood by and waited to be called He stood by and waited to be called He stood by and waited like the others before For his turn to go over the falls He got up and tried it again For lack of persistence is surely a sin As he stood by and waited to be called He looked to the lightning with glee And admired his vessel for it's symmetry Feeling twelve units shy of a bachelor's degree As he stood by and waited to be called He stood by and waited to be called He stood by and waited like the others before For his turn to go over the falls |

Pass the pen there Billy Bob, I'll write us up a song. Or perhaps I'll pen a sonnet, if the melody sits all wrong. Hand me down a crayon, and I'll draw a mighty oak. 'Cause of all my brother Masons, I'm the quickest with a joke. Catch me in the right light, you'll see my shapes shaped to please. And if I shank my trousers down, I'm hung just above the knees. You may have difficulty catchin' breath, when you hear my weighty name. I'm the one that told you, told you so, they calls me Puddin' Taine. Now step on up to dance the dance, and touch the hand that heals. Like the tallest hog on Wall street, I'm a wheelin' all the deals. They'll carve my face in marble, they'll etch my name in stone. They'll paint my noble portrait, and historify my home. You may have difficulty catchin' breath, when you hear my weighty name. I'm the one that told you, told you so, they calls me Puddin' Taine. |

Came up on a worried man, asked him if he had a light. He reached on down, dug in his shoe, figured in his sock he might. He asked if he could come and join, at what we was partakin' in. I says,"Ol' soul if you got a match, you also got yourself a friend". The smoke drew hard but laid in good, the neon gave us extra shine. We passed around a flask of Knockando, and a half litre bottle of wine. The worried man dropped down to his knees, and let out with a somber groan. He looked up to me and when I asked, he said,"I'm just restin' my bones". I looked down at him, and him up at me, then a smile rose above his chin. He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me down, said," Listen to me now my friend". When I was your age I did it all, more than many men could do, now my possessions are the ones I wear on my back, and this lighter I keep in my shoe. That's why I'm restin' my bones. I'm restin' my bones for the times I fell, fell and hit myself on the ground. Restin' my bones for the loneliness, of being the only genius around. I'm restin' my bones for prosperity, in hopes that it'll do me some good. I'm restin' bones from amphetamines, see they turned teeth to balsa wood. I'm restin' bones for Johnny Cash, 'cause for me and mine he's wearin' black. I'll be restin' my bones for Elvis, I seen him last week at the track. If I'm restin' bones and you come along, just try and tippy toe on by. 'cause when I'm restin' bones I hope to sleep, and maybe slip away and die. |

Fellow colleagues,distinguished members of the press,ladies and gentlemen. I would like to take this opportunity to personally and humbly thank each and every one of you for joining us at this particular event. It is my hope that we can utilize this meeting of the minds,to successfully convey the essence of our platform to you,and grand and noble audience. As I look out among the faces,I reflect. Taking console in the words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt who said, "We have nothing to fear,but fear itself." Paranoia is a disease unto itself,and may I add,the person standing next to you may not be who they appear to be,so take precautions. A mind is a terrible thing to waste,this is true. Many a young person has fallen prey to the substances that alter the perspective of any right thinking individual. The problem with the youth today is because of their inexperience with the world. They cannot attempt to grasp the ideals set fourth by myself and those who proceded me. But,has history has shown,they will come around and embrace our philosophies and become model citizens in their own right,God bless this great nation |

Oh I can still remember
Jenny Hernando She was my little lovely one When I was seventeen. I remember the day that she Gave me her viriginity And then she gave it to everyone In our vicinity. Oh I can still remember Julie Tolentino The dancing Filipino We used to run around. Her and Flouncin' Freddy Were going hot and steady. Now she runs a dyke bar, The biggest one in town. I can still remember my Old friend Todd Squelati I watching him snort a Milkshake right up his nose. He slurped it up the left side. Blew it out the right side. How he ever kept it down, I will never know. Of course I still remember Ol Flouncin' Freddy We were pumping gas Down at El Sobrante Shell His Mustang was his pride n' joy He liked to dance the cowboy, Hanging out at Jack In the Box But eat at Taco Bell. |

To be with Chuckles and the others. With electric in the air and peroxide in their hair, They looked like golden brothers. They drove a Datsun, an automatic, The radio blaring static, He made a face into the light and burst out laughing at the sight. The hysteria ensuing would dominate the night. From all the candy, the seats were sticky, As they were drawn into the grapevine. Then "Introduce Yourself" came on as they barreled through the fog. The demon puffing madly on a mentholated log. They were tired, they were sleepy, So they parked behind the Roxy. Adam left to use the phone, so he sat there all alone, When Adam's voice come beaming through on the radio, He started laughing... |

So, I showed her my dictionary to show her the words that I know, not quite desiring to, and how loquacious I can be when I set my mind down to it. But she wasn't impressed. Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no! She wasn't impressed at all.....She whispered in my ear!!! She whispered in my ear, and she said: "Do you wanna get LUCKY, little boy?" Well, I smiled. Smiled and I said..... Is it Luck ? Is it Luck Is it Luck ? Is it Luck Is it Luck ? Is it Luck Is it Luck ? Is it Luck Etc.. |

Jerry was a race car driver
And he drove so goddamned fast He never did win no checkered flag But he never did come in last Jerry was a race car driver He'd say "El solo number one" With a bocephus sticker On his 442 he'd light 'em up Just for fun Captain Pierce was a fireman Richmond engine |

And the stomach acids flow. The cold wind of conformity Is nippin' at your nose When some trendy new atrocity Has brought you to your knees Come with us we'll sail the Seas of Cheese |

I will rape your personality Pummel you with my own philosophy Strip you of your self-integrity To make you all a bit like me I said right, left Sgt. Baker here again And if you calls me "puddin Tame" I'll stomp you down, boy Steers and Queers Steers and Queers where you come >From there's just steers and queers And you ain't got no horns, boy Yes sir, yes sir I will rape your personality Pummel you with my own philosophy Strip you of your self-integrity To make you all a bit like me I said right, left |

I've seen them out at Soco
They're pounding sixteen penny nails The truckers on the interstate Have been known to ride the rails The sweat is beating on the brow Can't keep these fellas down 'Cause those damned blue-collared tweekers Are runnin' this here town I knew a man who hung drywall He hung it mighty quick A trip or two to the blue room Would help him do the trick His foreman would pat him on the back Whenever he would come around 'Cause these dammed blue-collar tweekers Are beloved in this here town Now the union boys are there To protect us from all the corporate type While curious George's drug patrol Is out here hunting snipe Now they try to tell me different But you know I ain't no clown 'Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers Are the backbone of this town Now the flame that burns twice as bright Burns only half as long My eyes are growing weary As I finalize this song So sit back and have a cup o' joe And watch the wheels go round 'Cause those damned blue-collar tweekers Have always run this town |

Said Tommy the Cat as he reeled back to clear whatever foreign matter
may have nestled its way into his mighty throat. Many a fat alley rat had met its demise while staring point blank down the cavernous barrel of this awesome prowling machine. Truly a wonder of nature this urban predator. Tommy the cat had many a story to tell, But it was a rare occasion such as this that he did. She came slidin' down the alleyway like butter drippin' off a hot biscuit. The aroma, the mean scent, was enough to arouse suspicion in even the oldest of Tigers that hung around the hot spot in those days. The sight was beyond belief. Many a head snapped for double - even triple - takes as this vivacious feline made her her way into the delta of the alleyway where the most virile of the young tabbys were known to hang out. They hung in droves. Such a multitude of masculinity could only be found in one place... And that was O'malley's Alley. The air was thick with cat calls (no pun intended), But not even a muscle in her neck did twitch as she sauntered up into the heart of the alleyway. She knew what she wanted. She was lookin' for that stud bull, the he cat. And that was me. Tommy the Cat is my name and I say unto thee... Say baby do you wanna lay down with me Say baby do you wanna lay down by my side Ah baby do you wanna lay down with me Say baby?...Say baby |

Hello all you boys and girls
I'd like to take you to the inside world It's quite an irregular place to be But never fear you're safe with me Well, maybe Golden hair of macrame Against the face that's cut from stone The white porcelain is screaming ayee Thank god the boy is not alone I don't believe in Santa Claus I don't believe in spite I have no use for beauty dolls Especially on this night I don't believe in miracles I don't believe in lies I don't believe in hologram For I am the Frizzle Fry Andy's painting green again This time they might take him away! When Barrington starts to breathe again It may just take us all away! I don't believe in charity I don't believe in sin And if you don't believe in me We'll play this tune over again I don't believe in pinochle And I don't believe I'll try I do believe in Captain Crunch For I am the Frizzle Fry Yes I am the Frizzle Fry |

When I woke up this mornin' I felt a pang.
I was hungerin' for some apple pie. Stumble in the bathroom, hung my hog a little bit. Washed the sleep out of my eye. Oh yeah, it's gonna be a fine day. Scratched myself a bit. Poured me out a bowl-a corn chex. Closest thing I could find to apple pie. Lingerin' taste of toothpaste Made the milk go down a bit funny. But you know, them chex they do satisfy. Oh yeah, this'll be a fine day. So, after my mornin' rise-n-shine and eat-n-clean. Had my mind set to hit them streets. Drizzle from the night left cold puddles out. Had my black stomp-boots on my feet. It's my day. Since I was in kneepants my pop had tried to make me realize. If I set my mind down to it I could be a big man in the public eye. So with my big blue collar on, I set out to find the easy way. What an Ice cold bath it was when I found you had to pay to play. To taste the taste it's a tease that never would subside. The taste is strong but soured by my learned eyes. Well, if a woodchuck could chuck wood, He'd get down on his knees to pray. This little snappy boy might see The light this ground hog's day. |

Skinny was born in a bathtub
And he grew so incredibly thin Even the end of an eye dropper Sucked him in Skinny never knew any questions Skinny never looked at lights Skinny sold something Every single night Skinny sold a soldier toy to me Skinny sold a wife Skinny sold a suction cup And a knife Skinny found a hello dolly Record in the hall He sold it to a truck driver In the fall (Hello Dolly) Here I come, Constantinople Here I come, Constantinople I am coming, Constantinople Here I come Here I come, Constantinople Here I come, Constantinople I am coming, Constantinople Here I come All the leaves are off of the oak and All the sheep have followed the spoken Word I'm coming, Constantinople Here I come As I stand out in the open All my friends are with you I hope and Pray I'm coming, constantinople Here I come Here I come, Constantinople Here I come, Constantinople I am coming Constantinople Here I come Here I come, Constantinople Here I come, Constantinople I am coming Constantinople Here I come Well, here I come, Constantinople I'm coming, Constantinople I'm coming with my head held high Here I come, Constantinople I'm coming I can't wait to see you I'm coming with my head held high I'm not coming on my knees I'm coming, Constantinople Here I come, Constantinople Here I come, Constantinople I am coming Constantinople Here I come ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By FLYNN, HOMER / FOX, HARDY WINFRED <i>Lyrics © Warner/Chappell Music, Inc.</i> |

TOO MANY PUPPIES ARE BEING SHOT IN THE DARK.
TOO MANY PUPPIES ARE TRAINED NOT TO BARK. AT THE SIGHT OF BLOOD THAT MUST BE SPILLED SO THAT WE MAY MAINTAIN OUR OIL FIELDS. TOO MANY PUPPIES. TOO MANY PUPPIES ARE TAUGHT TO KILL. ON THE COMMAND OF MEN WEARING MONEY BELTS THAT BUY MISTRESSES SLEEK ANIMAL PELTS. TOO MANY PUPPIES. TOO MANY PUPPIES WITH GUNS IN THEIR HANDS. TOO MANY PUPPIES IN FOREIGN LANDS. ARE DRESSED UP SHARP IN SUIT OF GREEN AND PLACED UPON THE WAR MACHINE. TOO MANY PUPPIES ARE JUST LIKE ME. TOO MANY PUPPIES ARE AFRAID TO SEE. THE VISIONS OF THE PAST BROUGHT TO LIFE AGAIN. TOO MANY PUPPIES. TOO MANY DEAD MEN. |

They call me Mr. Knowitall
I will not compromise. I will not be told what to do. I shall not step aside. They call me Mr. Knowitall I have no time to waste. My mouth it spews pure intellect. And I've such elegant taste. They call me Mr. Knowitall. I sup the aged wine. Oh I could tell such wonderous tales If I should find the time. I must be Mr. Knowitall For ideas they come in bounds. I am Mr. Knowitall So spread the word around. They call me Mr. Knowitall I am so eloquent. Perfection is my middle name And whatever rhymes with eloquent. |

You can have a lolly pop
A candy bar, a jelly bean I'll buy you a rainbow to hang above your door It's pudding time Laughter is a sweet you can't put a price on When laughter's all gone, Daddy won't buy you more It's pudding time, children... Money, money, money to buy you things Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall! Humpty Dumpty had a great fall! All kings horses and all the kings men Couldn't put Humpty together again! San Franciso the striped bass are dying But you're gonna get that brand new bike Oh joy It's pudding time It's pudding time, children!!! Pudding time, children.... |
