FZ:

In the beginning God made 'the light.' Shortly thereafter God made three big mistakes. The first mistake was called MAN, the second mistake was called WO-MAN, and the third mistake was the invention of THE POODLE. Now the reason the poodle was such a big mistake is because God originally wanted to build a Schnauzer, but he fucked up. Now a long time ago, the poodle used to be a very attractive dog. The poodle had hair evenly distributed all over its small piquant canine type BODY. That's the way it used to be, the poodle used to be a regular looking dog. You know it's true, I guess you do too. (Oh, I have to kiss you? Oh okay.)

Anyway listen, check this out. The poodle used to look good, you know the regular dogs that used to hang out in the neighborhood looked at the poodle, didn't think anything of it. You know, they didn't use to make fun of it in the olden days. But the WO-MAN, as you know, has always been much smarter than the MAN.

Guy In The Audience:

You're the best!

FZ:

That stuff is very bad for you, throw it away, okay. Now you're interrupting my story, now listen . . . What is that? Is that the Tower of Power or what? Oh no no, it's one of those dope fiend devices, take it away.

Now listen . . .

The WO-MAN has always been much smarter than the MAN, you know this is true. And so it was since the beginning of time. The MAN would do anything to get some pussy. And that's why the WO-MAN always had control over him.

In the beginning the WO-MAN looked the MAN directly into the eye and said: "I tell you what, why don't you go get a job because I could use a few nice things around the house. Mainly what I need is a clipper, a scissors, and a pair of zircon encrusted tweezers." (Thank you very much.)

And of course the MAN did his duty as they say in the trade. He went out and he got a goddamn job. Went out and pushed that broom around for about a dollar-2.98 an hour, brought his money back to the garden of Eden and gave that money to the WO-MAN.

The WO-MAN ran out the back door of the garden of Eden, went directly to the hardware store, got the clippers, the scissors and the zircon encrusted tweezers and came back and, while the MAN was very tired from having his job, while he was sleeping, the WO-MAN got a hold of the POODLE. Because the WO-MAN had noticed earlier that the length and proportion of the poodle oral appendage, the tongue of the dog in other words, ladies and gentlemen, was very much to her liking, except that this dog had too goddamn much hair on it. It didn't have the disco look that's so popular nowadays.

And so the WO-MAN set out to modify the aforementioned dog. Let me get a little uh, visual aid . . .

Now she took the dog and she cleaned it up a little bit. You see, she took a little bit off the back-part here, around the neck, the thorax, the tootsies. Got all of the unwanted extraneous material off this area which we shall call Burbank. Then she set the little sucker up like this, really nice, got his mouth set up like that. And squatted right ON HIM. Looking down into the dog's eyes. She looked down into the dog's eyes, do you know what she said to the dog?

She said . . .

Give me
Your dirty love
Like you might surrender
To some dragon in your dreams

Give me
Your dirty love
Like a pink donation
To the dragon in your dreams

I don't want your sweet devotion
I don't want your cheap emotion
Whip me up some dragon lotion
For your dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love

Give me
Your dirty love
Like some tacky little pamphlet
In your daddy's bottom drawer

Give me
Your dirty love
I don't believe you never seen
His book before

I don't want your reservation
I don't need your perspiration
I only got one destination
An' that's your dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love (awright!)

Give me
Your dirty love
(Ooh-hoo)
Just like your mama
Make her fuzzy poodle do

Give me
(Ow-haa)
Your dirty love
(Ooh-hoo)
The way your mama
Make that nasty poodle chew

I'll ignore your cheap aroma
And your little-bo-peep diploma
I'll just put you in a coma
With some dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love
That dirty love (Everybody poodle!) (Alright!)

THE POODLE BITES!
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
THE POODLE BITES!
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
THE POODLE BITES!
(Simulated merriment live in London)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!

THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Little curly head!)
THE POODLE BITES!
(Little paws sticking up!)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
THE POODLE BITES!
(And the little curly head)
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(The little teeny weeny black poodle lips)
THE POODLE BITES!
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
(Not a speck of cereal for my dog!)
THE POODLE BITES!
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
THE POODLE BITES!
THE POODLE CHEWS IT!
THE POODLE BITES!
'N THE POODLE CHEWS IT!

Ooh, the way you love me, baby,
I get so hard now I could die, aaahh!
An' ooh, the way you love me, sugar,
I get so hard now I could die (why don'tcha . . . )

Open up your pocketbook,
Get another quarter out,
Drop it in the meter, mama
Try me on for size, yeah!
Open up your pocketbook,
Get another quarter out,
Drop it in the meter, mama
Try me on for size (say . . . )

Ooh, the way you squeeze me, honey,
Red balloons just pop behind my eyes, say!
Ooh, the way you squeeze me, girl,
Red balloons just pop behind my eyes, oh!

Drop it in the meter, mama

Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
Oh! You got that kind of love that lingers
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooh
Hey girl! This here bed's got magic fingers

Been a-rollin' on the bed since the show got out
Now I'm gettin' weak in the knees
Must have did it eighty, ninety times
It might have been a hundred
But you're the kind of girl that I really wanna please
You're the kind of girl that I really wanna please
(Oh, girl . . . hoo!)

Do you really wanna please me?
(You know I do)
Ah, tell me why you do it
I really wanna know
(Well, it wouldn't be right
For me to tell you tonight)
You better tell me right away
Or I dress up and go!
(Don't get mad
It ain't no big thing)
You better tell me right away,
Don't you treat me cold
(HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT, HOLD IT!)
I'm holding it
(It's good for you)
I'm holding it
(It's good for you)
I'm really holding it
(I know you're really holding it

I wish you'd let go of the pants now

FZ: Heavy duty?
Guy From The Audience: Did it taste good?
FZ: Maroon nylon heavy duty. Okay . . . Light blue cotton with tiny skid . . . . That's getting him very excited because it appears that the bottom parts of those pants are welded together. Okay let's try this, alice blue nylon . . .
Vinnie: These smell like the same ones I had last night.
FZ: For those of you who didn't hear he says those smell like the same ones he had last night. Did you like them? You don't like those?
Vinnie: Maybe they are, maybe she's following us around.
FZ: Black nylon!
Vinnie: Ooooohhhh please!
FZ: Black nylon, re . . . e-hem, registring a 19 on the Richter scale.
Vinnie: Oh, God . . . gotta keep on . . . hah hah, it's fuckin' disgusting!
FZ: These are very light blue and apparently have come in contact with some corrosive material that has eaten the bottom out of it.
Vinnie: China syndrome.
FZ: What?
Vinnie: China syndrome!
FZ: Yeah, ha ha ha ha ha! Awright, rustic hokey pokey, model number thirteen.
Vinnie: Oorhh, nehh. (hack, hack)

Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me

He was the Playboy Type (he smoked a pipe)
His fav'rite phrase was "OUTA-SITE!"
He had an Irish Setter
(Arf!)

It was a singles bar, a Tuesday night
The moon was dim, the band was tight
They did the Bump together

What a splendid sight
(Roh-hon doon doon)
Her teeth were white
(Roo-teeh roo-teeh)
The shorts were striped (it was Ladies Nite)
He was glad that he met her

He was an office boy (His name was Betty")
Her fav'rite group was TWISTED SISTER
(They discussed the weather) AAAH!

Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Man!

She was a lonely sort, just a little too short
Her jokes were dumb and her fav'rite sport
Was hockey (in the winter)
(Mumble-mumble . . . He scores!)

He was duly impressed and was quick to suggest
Any sport with a SCHMUCK had to be 'bout the best
As he jabbed his elbow in her (get it honey? Get it honey?)
(I mean that, I mean that)

Later on they went off to where the music was soft,
The candles were drippy, they saw a REAL HIPPY
Who delivered their dinner

(Hey . . . ) The rice was brown, and soon they found
That the crowd around that had jammed the room,
Well it seemed to be getting thinner

Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Man!

He took her home to a motor court (hey . . . )
She wouldn't kiss him, he tried to ignore it,
But it made him angry!
(You know it, I spent so much fuckin' money on you,
An' you just make me look like an ASSHOLE!)

He called her a pig
(Pig pig pig . . . )
A slut
(Slut slut slut . . . )
And a whore
(Whore whore whore . . . )
A bitch
(Bitch bitch bitch . . . )
And a Republican
(Republican!)
And she slammed the door
(The door!)
In a petulant frenzy!
(A petulant frenzy!
This is a petulant frenzy!
I'm petulant,
And I'm having a frenzy!)

On the sofa she weeps
BOO HOO HOO HOO
She weeps and she weeps
BOO HOO HOO HOO HOO HOO
She weeps and she peeps
Through the curtain

He just got in his car
But the battery's dead
So he has to use the phone
And she gives him some head
And that's the sound of Long Island

Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a man like me
Honey honey, hey
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Baby don't you want a
Man!
Baby don't you want a man sometimes?

FZ: Ladies and Gentlemen, making his first Sydney appearance, maybe his second Sydney appearance, we don't know what he does in his spare time. Bring the band on down behind me, boys. Hold it.

Father Vivian O'Blivion
Resplendent in his frock
Was whipping up the batter
For the pancakes of his flock
He was looking rather bleary
(He forgot to watch the clock)
Because the night before
Behind the door
A leprechaun had stroked his smock
An' that set him off in such a frenzy
He sang LOCK AROUND THE CROCK
An' he topped it off with a WOO WOO WOO
An' he topped it off with a WOO WOO
An' he topped it off with a WOO WOO
As he stumbled on his COCK
Oh Lord! He was delighted when it stiffened
And it ripped right through his sock
Oh, Saint Alfonzo would be proud of me
He shouted down the block
And as soon as he did that,
A crowd of people gathered around.
All the faithful
Came right up to him.
They wanted to look at the pink thing
Sticking out from the bottom of his
Tasteful discreet black nylon man-of-the-cloth type stocking.
And there it was, and here it was, and he went, "hey hey,"
And they all went, "ho-ho."
And he calmed them
With a gesture that he'd learned
At an extension course in divinity school
He gave 'em one of these,
And then he went,
And then he went,
He gave 'em a few Dominus Vobiscums
They shut right up
He sat right there very still
And then he looked them all in the eye
Every last one of 'em
He gazed at everyone of 'em
And he looked them all in the eye
And he turned to 'em each and everyone
Each in his, each in his own words, each in his own way
And he turned to 'em and he said:

8. Is That Guy Kidding Or What? 4:00

The Palladium, NYC
October 30, 1977

Terry Bozzio—drums

Awright. See that? That's what you call a new song. When I'm gonna stand up here and read the son of a bitch while I'm doing it. We figured that this is a good place to do this song. It's only been performed once before and that was the, the evening after it was actually written in uh, Boston. I'll tell you the story of this song. This is called CREATIVE DEVIATION FROM THE NORMAL PART OF THE PROGRAM, simply because you trust the audience's good taste so much that you know that even if the band fucks up they'll go along with it. Awright. Because, ladies and gentlemen, this song has an important message and I believe this message has to be brought to the people of this great metropolitan area.

Awright, now check this out. How many of you people feel that ROCK has gotten entirely TOO PREPOSTEROUS? I see that you're not all convinced. Some of you believe that ROCK is REAL. I can see that there was probably about 20 percent of the audience has had it up to here, and the rest of you people still believe in that shit. Okay, well this is dedicated to the rest of you people that still believe in that shit.

Now check this out: How d— how do you rationalize the appearance of an album entitled I'm In You? I mean, wha . . . what, what is that? Is that guy kidding? (What, I gotta kiss you again? Okay.) Really, look, all kidding aside, folks. Let's think about the world of rock, just for a moment. Some of you already have those cute little shirts on that say "disco sucks," right? That's not all that sucks. 'Course Warner Brothers sucks, but besides Warner Brothers there are other things about this business that really suck. One of 'em is the way in which the subject of LOVE is dealt with in the lyrics of various 'serious rock artists,' the intensive-care contingent of the rock world. These people, these people are FUCKED UP, they're really FUCKED UP. Because see, love isn't the way they're telling you about it, you know, they're telling you wrong. I'm gonna tell you right, you see.

Now all of the ladies in the audience, you get to have fantasy time. This is female fantasy hour. Okay? You're a teen-age girl, right? You have abducted the succulent popstar of your choice, right? You have taken the aforementioned popstar, who is really cute and Aryan and eats a lot of crumpets, back to your teen-age room. That's right, spindle twice. You have taken this turkey back to your room, you have laid on your teen-age bed, you have put your teen-age legs up in the air, you have actually taken your own teen-age pants off. You have the teen-age red bulb on, right next to the bed. The curtains are drawn, it's dark, it's midnight. You put on a Phoebe Snow record, you're really relaxing. Tears come to your eyes, you are sensitive, you are in love. The popstar of your choice takes off his pants and climbs on top of you, and the next thing you know you hear this little voice in your ear and it says:

"I'M IN YOU!"

He never takes
Watch him while his nostrils break
Nostrils break
Nostrils break
They must be fake

Oh I'm so subdued
Ted Nugent, huh, babe, y'know?
'N I was really digging into that fucking steak.
And then all of a sudden the pigs came and I bailed on the stench

And bad is wrong
And wrong is sinful
And sin leads to eternal damnation

Hey, now you're gonna know what I'm talking about. We're gonna dedicate this whole song to Ms. Pinky. For those of you who don't know about Ms. Pinky: We recently visited that colorful country Finland, and were met at the airport by a gentleman named Erik. Erik sees us everytime we go to Finland, he's a very nice person. He collects autographs and gives us presents. And when we left Finland, Erik gave me a magazine to read on the airplane, it was one of his favorite books.

Now a lot of people have heard quite a bit about Danish pornography, but have you ever heard of Finnish pornography? It's real different. He gave me a Finnish pornographic magazine that had some girls in it that I couldn't even believe that they would take pictures of 'em. There was one or two in there that looked like Grace Slick but the rest of 'em were hurtin', really hurtin'. And of course the quality of the color photography was just a little bit too far in the red direction, you know, they printed too much red and they were showing a lot of girls with red shoes, big like this. But when it got down to the business-like details of that interesting zone between the legs these hunks of meat hanging down from the little bushes of hair all looked like they were horribly infected!

Anyway, thumbing through the magazine, there was an advertisement in there for a product, it's a lonely person product, and I know you have quite a few lonely person products here in Denmark: There's so many shops that are dedicated to the needs of the lonely German, the lonely Italian, the lonely American and the lonely Spanish person that drifts into your territory. Now, there are many lonely person products, you know, the most basic of all of these is the vibrator. And uh, it, it can be very usefull and entertaining used properly. But when you start branching out to little things like Rover's Reamer . . . Has anybody ever seen Rover's Reamer? It's a plastic dog dick about this long with a crank in the end of it. Now that is definitely a lonely person product, and Ms. Pinky is another one of those special lonely person products.

Ms. Pinky is shorter than the average girl because she doesn't have a BODY, all she's got is a HEAD. She's got a rubber head and her eyes are closed and her mouth is WIDE OPEN an she's got her lips rolled back over her teeth so she doesn't hurt you very much. And she's washable. So we're gonna dedicate this song to Ms. Pinky for all the good work that she has done for everybody who sent away for her in the Finnish magazine, and especially for the guy in the back who has probably got Ms. Pinky sitting in his lap right now, tucked away underneath of his overcoat, just down there, having a good time . . .

I got a girl with a little rubber head
Rinse her out every night just before I go to bed
She never talk back like a lady might do
An' she looks like she loves it every time I get through

And her name is

P-I-N I cry
K-Y don't be shy
$69.95, boy
Give her a try

Her eyes is all shut in an ecstasy face
You can cram it down her throat, people, any old place
Throw the little switch on her battery pack
You can poot it, you can shoot it till your wife gets back

Half a dozen provocative squats!
Out of the shower, she squeezes her spots;
Brushes her teeth;
Shoots a deodorant spray up her twat . . .

Hot—Oh-woh-woh-woh-woh-woh)
She's just twenty-four
And she can't get off,
A sad but typical case, yeah

Got in and got soft;
She blew it,
And laughed in his face, yeah!
Face, yeah!
Yeah (yeah . . . )

She chooses all the clothes
She'll wear tonight to dance in, yeah!
The places that she goes
Are filled with guys from groups,

Twenty or thirty at times there have been—
Somewhat desirable boys there—
Dressed really spiffy, with long hair—
Waiting for girls they can shove it right in

And pull it right out!
And shove it in again.

FZ: Now ladies and gentlemen, we don't normally do this but just because this is Saint Patrick's Day, this is our special Saint Patrick's Day program, and I even wear a green shirt and everything. We wanna try and work a little bit of, well let's just say Home Grown Irish Flavor into this program. Now bring the band on down behind me boys, this is really quite technical. You understand that each ethnic group has characteristics, and these characteristics are generally made fun of by other ethnic groups. Now I happen to feel that the Irish people in this country have gotten a "bum rap," to use a common expression. Many people feel that Irish people in America simply aren't sexy. Now in order to dispell the ethnic myth that people of the Irish persuasion are not particulary sexy, we are going to make it possible for volunteers from the audience tonight to demonstrate just how hot they are. Now what I would like to have, I would like to have at least four girls who think they are Irish to come up here . . . no, they have, no no no, they have to be volunteers, you have to volunteer for this, it can't be under duress. I, no, let me explain, this is very scientific, we need two more. Okay heh, you all think you're Irish, right? OK, ok. Now listen, quiet please, this is very very scientific. That's right. In order to prove that you are genuinely hot we're going to give you, each and every one, an opportunity to make a sex noise with musical accompaniment. And so:

Make a sex noise!
(Say)
Make a sex noise!
Make a sex noise!
Make a sex noise!
Make a sex noise!
Make a sex noise!

FZ: Now, I'm not sure that each and everyone of these contestants is truly Irish in the biblical sense of the word, but I think we have to give them credit for coming up here and representing the Irish people in Binghamton tonight. Especially when you realize that that's about the only form of safe sex left in America.
Ike: Hah hah hah!

I have been in you, baby
You
Have been in me
And we
Have be
So intimately
Entwined
And it sure was fine

I have been in you, baby
You
Have been in me
And so you see
We
Have be so together
I thought that we would never
Return from forever
Return from forever
Return from forever . . .

You
Have been in me
And understandably
I have been in 'n outa you
(In 'n outa you, in 'n outa yoo-oo-ou)
An' everywhere
You want me to
(In 'n outa yoo-oo-oo-ou)
Yes, you know it's true;

And while
I was inside
I mighta been
Undignified
And that is maybe
Why you cried
I don't know
Maybe so,
But what's the difference now?

I have been in you, baby
You have been in me
Aw' little girl, there ain't no time
To wash yer stinky hand
Go 'head 'n roll over
I'm goin' in you again
In you again
In you again
Well, in you again . . .

I'm goin' in you again-ahhh
In you again, ah!
In you again-ahhh
In you again, ah!
In you again-ahhh
In you again, ah!
I'm goin' in you again-ahhh
In you again, ah!

FZ: Well little girl I told you I was goin' in you again and I wasn't lyin', or was I? No I could hardly resist going in you, because ever since I started writing love songs and everything and . . . You know it's very difficult when you're English not to write love songs because, uh . . .
Guy In The Audience: Sensitive!
FZ: What?
Guy In The Audience: So sensitive!
FZ: That's right, if you are English, you are, you are very sensitive. That's one thing I've noticed being an English person. In fact I've been an English person for almost five minutes now during this song and my sensitivity has increased to the point where, I don't know, maybe it's just all of our traditions: the tea, Winston Churchill, his large lips and everything. This kind of stuff why you start accummulating all of this civilization behind you and you know, what can you say, if you're English you're really fantastic, aren't you? So darling, it should come as absolutely no surprise to you that I went back to your little teen-age room and climbed on top of your teen-age body and took all of my English teen-age clothes off, and, you know, stuck my little lips up next to your ear and said: "I'M IN YOU! I'M IN YOU! I'M IN YOU! I'M IN YOU!" But I don't want you to get it wrong, you know. I don't, I don't just come over here and stick it IN YOU and IN YOU and IN YOU because I like you. It's not because . . . it's not even physical, I only do it, and remember taxes are really bad in England, the only reason I do it is to sell records. And I hope you'll understand . . .

I'm going in you again (I'M IN YOU), baby
You can go in me too,
(I'M IN YOU)
I'm goin' in you again, baby
'N later when we get through, GUESS WHAT?
I'm goin' in you again, well
In you again, ah!
In you again
I'm goin' in you again, ah!
In you again
I'm goin' in you again, ah!
In you again
I'm goin' in you again, ah!

Couldn't say where she's coming' from,
But I just met a lady Dinah-Moe Humm

Strolled on over, said look here, bum,
I got a forty-dollar bill says you can't make me cum
(No way, y'jes can't do it)

She made a bet with her sister who's a little bit dumb
She could prove it any time all men was scum
(I say scum!)

I don't mind if she called me a bum,
But I knew right away she was really gonna cum
(So I got down to it)

I whipped off her bloomers 'n stiffened my thumb
An' applied rotation to her sugar plum

I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb
Still didn't hear no Dinah-Moe Humm,
Dinah-Moe Humm

Dinah-Moe Humm
Dinah-Moe Humm
Where's this Dinah-Moe
Comin' from
I done spent three hours
An' I ain't got a crumb
From the Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe
From the Dinah-Moe Humm

Got a spot that gets me hot
An' you ain't been to it (tell!)
Got a spot that gets me hot
An' you ain't been to it
I got a spot that gets me hot
You ain't been to it
I got a spot that gets me hot
You ain't been to it
'Cause I can't get into it
Unless I get out of it
(It dices, it slices)
An' I gotta get out of it
Before I get into it
(It purées, it frappés)
'Cause I can't get into it
Unless I get out of it
(It blends and malamutes)
An' I gotta get out of it
Before I get into it
(But that's not all)

(She looked over at me with a glazed eye
And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area
And she said . . . and here's what she said . . . )
(What'd she say?)

Just get me wasted
An' you're half-way there
'Cause if my mind's tore up,
Well, then my body don't care

I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin
An' said my-my-my
What sort of thing
Might this lady get high upon?

The forty-dollar bill didn't matter no more
When her sister got nekkid an' laid on the floor
She said Dinah-Moe might win the bet
But she could use a little (NAVY) Prince if I wasn't done yet

I told her . . .
Just because the sun
Want a place in the sky
No reason to assume
I wouldn't give her a try

So I pulled on her hair
Got her legs in the air
An' asked her if she had any cooties in there

(Whaddya mean cooties! No cooties on me!)

She was buns-up kneelin'
(BUNS UP!)
I was wheelin' an dealin'
(WHEELIN' AN' DEALIN' AN' OOOOH!)
She surrendered to the feelin'
(SHE SWEETLY SURRENDERED)
Started in to squealin'

Dinah-Moe watched from the edge of the bed
With her lips just twitchin' an' her face gone red
Some drool rollin' down
From the edge of her chin
While she spied the condition
Her sister was in
She quivered 'n quaked
She clutched all over herself
Her sister made a joke
About her mental health
Until Dinah-Moe finally
Did give in
But I told her
All she really needed
Was some discipline, I said . . .

Kiss my aura . . . Dora . . .
That's right . . . because it's real angora
Would y'all like some more-a?
Right here on the flora?
An' how 'bout you, Fauna?
Do you wanna?

(YEAH)
He's very very gay
He's so gay
(He's so gay)
(HE'S GAY)
And he likes to be that way
With his keys on the right
He's into rubber every night
He's so gay
He's ALMOST EVERYONE TODAY

He's okay
(He's okay)
He's got a role he wants to play
He's okay
He's just a cowboy for a day
'Course, his evening's not complete
Without some meat in the seat;
Let's skate away
Down Santa Monica today
(Well well well)

Maybe he wants a little spanking
Maybe he'll eat a little chain
Maybe his lover should be thanking him
For the way he makes it sprinkle
Into drops of GOLDEN RAIN
UH-OWWW . . .
(Let's mine the harbor . . . )

He's so gay
(He's so gay)
He rules the city in a way
You could say
(You could say)
It's sorta different today
All the taffeta and chintz
And every Leather Boy's a PRINCE
Hey hey hey!
Please don't look the other way

You could be just like him
TOMORROW!
Ai-ee-ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!
Mah-mah-mah-mah-mah-mah
Maybe you'll get a chance
To borrow
(Borrow)
His bouquet (mmmh . . . )
And maybe later . . .
MAYBE LATER
We'll ALL BE
GAY-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y-Y!

DO YOU REALLY WANNA HURT ME?
MOO-AHHH!

She had that
Camarillo brillo
Flamin' out along her head,
I mean her Mendocino bean-o
By where some bugs had made it red

She ruled the Toads of the Short Forest
And every newt in Idaho
And every cricket who had chorused
By the bush in Buffalo

She said she was
A Magic Mama
And she could throw a mean Tarot
And carried on without a comma
That she was someone I should know

She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in
(Actually, I was very busy then)

And so she wandered
Through the door-way
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way
An' I'd just love it in her room

Well, I was born
To have adventure
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
To where she hung her castanets

She stripped away
Her rancid poncho
An' laid out naked by the door
We did it till we were un-concho
An' it was useless any more

She had a snake for a pet
And an amulet
And she was breeding a dwarf
But she wasn't done yet
She had gray-green skin
A doll with a pin
I told her she was awright
But I couldn't come in

And so she wandered
Through the door-way
(Ai-ee-ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!)
Just like a shadow from the tomb
She said her stereo was four-way, oh yeah!
(Ai-ee-ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!)
An' I could eat some broccoli up in her room

Well, I was born
To have advenchum
(Ai-ee-ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!)
So I just followed up the steps
Right past her fuming incense stencher
(Ai-ee-ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!)
To where she hung her castanets

I chewed my way
Through her rancid panocha
(Ai-ee-ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!)
And she laid buck nekkid
Over by the door
We did it till we were sort of un-concho, so to speak
(Ai-ee-ai-ee-ai-ee-ahhhh!)
Yes, and it was useless anymore
Aw yes, it was useless anymore
Aw yes, it was useless anymore

He shoulda been stuffin it in

Well, stuffin it in

That he just might wanna pump
Lookin' for some rustic co-ed rump
That he just might wanna pump
Lookin' for some rustic co-ed rump
That he just might wanna pump

The Illinois Enema Bandit
One day he'll have to pay
One day he'll have to pay
The police will say, "You're under arrest!"
And then the judge would have him for a special guest
The D.A. will order a secret test
Stuff his pudgy little thumbs in the side of his vest
Then they'll put out a call (Hi-Yo!) for the jury folks
And the judge would say, "No Silver jokes!"
They'll drag in the bandit for all to see,
Sayin' "Don't nobody put that little black mask all over me . . . (Hi-Yo!)
HOT SOAPY WATER in the FIRST DEGREE!"
And then Tonto might say, "Don't put that Veg-O-Matic at me!"

DID YOU CAUSE THIS BROCCOLI?
WELL DID YOU CAUSE THIS BROCCOLI?
WELL DID YOU CAUSE THIS KINDA BROCCOLI?
One girl shout: "Well, bring that small appliance right here near to me!"

BANDIT ARE YOU GUILTY?
TELL ME, WHAT'S YOUR PLEA?
Another satisfied home maker shout: "Well, let that Veg-O-Matic be!"

BANDIT, ARE YOU GUILTY? TELL ME, DID YOU DO THESE DEEDS?
You know what he said?
(Isn't that amazing!)
"It must be just what they all need . . . " (yeah!)
"It must be just what they all need . . . "
"It must be just what they all needs. . . "
"It must be just what they all need . . . "

He just be pumpin' every one of 'em up with all the bag fulla

Turn turn
Turn turn
We're turning again
Turn turn
Turn turn
We're turning again

We're so young and happy
And we know where it's at
(It's over there, over there,
Over there, over there
And under here also)
Doont, da-doodem doodem!
We're never wrong about nothing
And we look pretty good
We never ever have to worry
We're always in a hurry
To convince ourselves that what we are
Is really very groovy
If we believe what's in the papers
And the magazines that define our folklore
We can never laugh
At who or what we think we are
Or even what we think
We sorta oughta be
'Cause we are totally empty
(Totally empty)
And our lives are really useless
So what the fuck?
We ain't got no sense of humor
(Oodly-oodly-yeah!)
We got nothing left
To laugh about
Including ourselves

Turn turn
Turn turn
We're turning again
Turn turn
Turn turn
We're turning again

Mellow yellow
Mellow yellow

They were mellow
They were yellow
They were wearing smelly blankets
They were DONOVAN fans
(HU-UR-DE-EE
GU-UR-DE-EE)

They walked around
With stupid flowers
In their hair and everywhere
They tried to stuff 'em up the guns
Of all the cops and other servants of the law
(LA LA-LA-LA LA-LA)
Who tried to push 'em around
And later mowed 'em down
But they were full of all that shit
That they believed in
(PHEW!)
So what the fuck?
(WHAT THE FUCK?)
They would tighten up their headbands
On the weekend they get loaded
When they came to town
They walked around in GREENWICH VILLAGE
To buy posters they could hang up
In their smelly little secret
Black light bedrooms
On LONG-ISLAND
Screamin': "JIMI COME BACK!"
Come back and regulate my fuzz-tone
Your HAZE was so PURPLE
And your AXIS was BOLD AS LOVE
(JIMI-JIMI-JIMI-JIMI-JIMI FEED BACK)
Come back and feed back on my knapsack
You can feed back the fuzz tone from your WAH-WAH
While you bend down
And set your stuff on FIRE

Turn turn (hop!)
Turn turn
We're turning again
Turn turn (Mr. Cry-Baby)
Turn turn
We're turning again (well . . . )

We can turn it around
We can do it again
We can go back in time
Through the canyons of your mind
On the EVE O' DESTRUCTION
We can act like we are something really special (wah wah . . . )
Oh, we'll just jump in the bath-tub
With that other guy JIM
And make him be more careful
And we'll visit Big Mama
And whap her on the back
When she eats her sandwich
(FRIDAY THURSDAY)
We can take care of Janis
When she gets so depressed
She can't take it no more
We can laugh at Keith Moon's jokes
(HA HA HA HA HA)
And the colour TV
(WAH WAH)
He threw out the window
From the second floor!
(AAAHHHHHH!)
Everybody come back
No one can do it like you used to
If you listen to the radio
And what they play today
You can tell right away:
All those assholes really need you!

Whenever their mamas take them to a show
Matinee
Pass the popcorn please
There's nothing like a Catholic Girl
With her hand in the box
And she's on her knees

She was on her knees
My little Catholic Girl
In a little white dress
Catholic Girls
They never confess
Catholic Girls
I got one for a cousin
I love how they go
So send me a dozen
Catholic Girls
OOOOOOH!
(Well well now)
Catholic Girls
(Ma-ma-mum ma-ma-mum)
Yai-ee-ahhh!

Joe had a girl friend named Mary.

Sucking COCK
So she can get a ticket to meet Ike Willis for free . . .

Too small for my shirt
If Simmons was here

Scared of the future
'N I hope I don't grow
Listen, nobody likes me
'Cause everywhere that I go
They say NO
They say NO
They say NO
NO
They say NO

Now I'm older
Got a place in the town, babe
Got a chin on my shoulder
'N it keeps growing down 'n down 'n down
I'm horny 'n lonely
'N I wish I was dead
Somebody tell me
Why am I livin'?
Lord, I wanna be dead instead
That's right, I said

Hello. My name is Lisa Popeil. Ha ha. Ever seen one of these? My father who's filthy rich made this. It's a Pocket Fisherman, ha ha. And he also made the Veg-O-Matic, which works about as well. And then there's always my brother Ronnie of Ronco. I'm sure you've heard of him. He has all those commercials that go on and on and on and on AND ON AND ON and on and on, I know.

Now I'm here to tell you my life story
When I was young
I was a skinny neurotic bitch
(Doo-doo-da-dee-ha!)
But it didn't matter
(E-eh-e-eh-e-eh-e-eh-eh!)
Because the ego was so large
It didn't matter that I hadn't done nothing
Or seen nothing in my life, ow!
Trapped in a sexless body I always knew
(Ha ha ha ha-ha-ha)
That I was an oversexed hussy
So my next task was to find someone who could
Satisfy my every desire
(Da-da doo-dood da ba dad-dood
Da-dood-dad-dood da-dood-da-da)
Unfortunately I lacked the basic essentials
So I went out to get me some
Of what I needed all along
A pair of titties just like mom
(Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!)
I went to a Catholic school
With all those nerds
I swear a good Catholic girl
Can't go anywhere these days
Well, then there was a quest for the perfect hunk
I spell that h-u-n-k, hunk
You know, I like them tall and blonde.

And stick it in the bed! Sorta . . .
