Ladies and gentlemen:
Elvis has just left the building
Elvis has just left the building—
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building—
To climb up that heavenly stair
He gave away Cadillacs once in a while;
Had sex in his underpants,
Yes, he had style!
Bell-bottom jump-suits?
That's them in a pile,
But he don't need 'em now,
'Cause he's makin' Jesus smile!
Elvis has just left the building—
(There he goes!)
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building—
To climb up that heavenly stair
The Angels all love him,
He brings them relief
With droplets of moisture
From his handkerchief!
Cher'bim 'n ser'phim
Whizz over his head—
Jesus, let him come back!
We don't want Elvis dead!
So what if he looks like a wart-hog in heat?
He knows we all love him—
We'll just watch him eat,
So take down the foil
From his hotel retreat,
And bring back The King
For the man in the street!
Elvis has just left the building—
Those are his footprints, right there
Elvis has just left the building—
He's up there with Jesus, in a big purple chair
Meanwhile, on Wall Street . . .
On the Planet of the Baritone Women
They talk low
'Bout stuff they know.
They sing "Oooh!"
And laugh at you
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-hah! Hey!)
If you can't
(IF YOU CAN'T)
Do it too
(DO IT TOO)
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-hah! Hey!)
They sing "Li-Li-Li-Li!"
They sing "Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo!"
The men carry purses
Wherever they go
Junior executives.
All in a row,
Watch the Baritone Women
Do the Baritone show
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-hah! Hey!)
They sing about wheat;
They sing about corn;
They sing about places
Where women was born
They sing about hate!
They sing about fear!
It seems like they all got
A pretty good ear
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-hah! Hey!)
They sing it in harmony
Not often heard,
With a big ol' cadenza . . .
(Robert Martin, from Philadelphia,
Curtis Institute graduate, 1971
Let's hear it for him!)
On every long word
They keep it as low
As they possibly can,
And sometimes they walk
Like an E-GYP-TIAN
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-hah! Hey!)
They do choreography
Still more unique!
They leave their legs open
Whenever they speak!
They roll their eyes upward
And over again,
And slam their legs closed
When they sing about men!
Those Baritone Women!
They are not your friend!
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-hah!)
You will make a mistake
If you go there again!
Broadway The Hard Way, ladies and gentlemen!
Broadway The Hard Way!
You are the girl
Somebody invented
In a grim little office
On Madison Ave.
They were specific
They made you terrific:
Red lips;
Blue eyes;
Blonde hair;
Un-wise—
You're All-American,
And, darling, they said so
YOU'D TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN FROM ME,
WOULDN'T YOU, BABY?
YOU'D TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN FROM ME,
WOULDN'T YOU, BABY?
SINCE YOU HAVEN'T GOT A BRAIN,
LET ME JUST EXPLAIN:
ANY KIND OF PAIN
IS NEVER A MAYBE
What?
Senator Hollings: Maybe I could make a good rock star; I don't know.
Her head's full of bubbles;
Her nose is petite!
She looks like she never
Gets nothin' to eat!
'N she dines with actors,
'N Wall Street characters:
Dull talk;
Nice clothes—
See her?
She blows—
(She's so important
'Cause he gets to do talk shows—)
AND SHE'D TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN FROM ME,
WOULDN'T SHE, BOBBY? (Yeah, she would!)
SHE'D TAKE ANY KIND OF PAIN FROM ME,
WOULDN'T SHE, BOBBY?
SINCE SHE HAVEN'T GOT A NAME,
LET ME JUST EXPLAIN:
ANY KIND OF PAIN
IS PROB'LY HER HOBBY
No . . . ow-ow-ow-oh . . . no . . .
She has moved up now;
She's come a long way—
They give her bunches
Of words she can say!
When she's in a bold mood,
"Confinement Loaf" sounds good—
That's right,
She's wrong!
Let's end
Her song
(It seems she's everywhere
We just can't escape her—
Is this a miracle of pure evolution?
And all the yuppie boys, they dream they will rape her—
She brings the 80'spast rightBUS RIDE
To a thrilling conclusion!)
YES, SHE'S EVERY BIT AS TAME AS ME,
ISN'T SHE TENDER?
YES, SHE'S EVERY BIT AS LAME AS ME,
LET US REMEMBER,
SHE GETS ONLY HALF THE BLAME
ONLY HALF THE BLAME
ONLY HALF THE BLAME
UNLESS WE EXTEND HER—
FZ: Thank you! Hate to see this go to waste
Ike: FrenchFringe. I mean that, man
FZ: Alright. CNN ran a story last week about this new product that has been developed for our prison system. It is called "Confinement Loaf." Now what it is is a it's, uh, bean by-products compressed into a loaf, which is administered to problem prisoners. Their diet would will be a slice of "Confinement Loaf" and a cup of water, and it seems to mellow them up out right away. So my question is: How long before "Confinement Loaf" appears in United States High Schools?
One 'n one is eleven!
Two 'n two is twenty-two!
Won't somebody kindly tell me,
What the government's tryin' t' do . . .
Dickie's just too tricky
For a chump like me to use, oh use
You take that sub-committee seriouslyserious, boy (and I'm serious)
You could just might get a seizure from the evenin' news
Millions 'n millions of dollars . . .
Much as he might need . . . (good work!)
He could open up a chain of motels, people,
On the highway, yes indeed!
Quadrophonic desperation! (oh, pinch that loaf now!)
Just There might be some confinement loaf all up under your bed (well . . . )
You know if you just might pinch a little loaf in your slumber (mercypffft . . . NURSE!)
The FBI is gonna get your number
GONNA GET YA
GONNA GET YA
GONNA JUMP UP THE SUB-COMMITTEE AND GET YA!
THE FBI
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
THE FBI
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
THE FBI
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
THE FBI
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
THE FBI
THEY ALREADY GOT YOUR PICTURE
THE FBI
AND YOUR FINGERPRINTS TOO
THE FBI
THEN THEY GOT A GUY IN VIRGINA
THE FBI
WHIFFING UP A LITTLE SOUP JUST FOR YOU
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
GONNA GET YOUR NUMBER
Tryin' not to worry
Tryin' not to care
But you know, I get delightedso excited
When that soup goes over there
Can't have no private conversation
Nowhere
In the USA
Can't wait 'til the rest of the people all over the the world
Find out that their governmentconfinement loaf
Is just the same ol' way
Every day . . .
(Pinch that loaf now!)
Let me tell you about this right now
Let me tell you about this right here
Let me make this formerly clear
Let me tell you about this right here
You know you put me in office
So you must have wanted me in office
I I've did you no harm
I used to have twenty-five tapes
Now I only got ten
Can't remember what happened to the rest
S'pose I Musta gave 'em to a friend
Gave a couple to Bebe Rebozo
Gave a couple to Pat Boone
Gave a couple to Ronald Reagan
Gave a couple to the new vice-president
He said he'd stick with me through thick and thin
Even if I invaded Nicaragua
You know I'm not a crook
You know I'm not a crook
I just wanna lie about one more thing right now . . .
(Say yeah yeah . . . )
The gangster stepped right up,
'N kissed him on the lips good-bye
Made him a cocksucker by proxy, yes he did,
An' he didn't even bat an eye!
The man in the White House—oooh!
He's got a conscience black as sin!
(Yeah, maybe I . . . I don't know but, it's just a training exercise)
There's just one thing I wanna know—
How'd that asshole ever manage to get in?
You're all the same, so sing right along now:
DICKIE'S SUCH AN ASSHOLE
Sincerely, Dick, we mean it
Sincerely, Ron, we mean it
Sincerely, Dick and Ron, we continue to mean it
Wee-ooo
Now let's bring the Republican Party up to date . . .
(Pinch it good!
You know, that confinement loaf is real good stuff
Hey, you have to trust oughta try some!)
They got lies so big
They don't make a noise
They tell 'em so well
Like a secret disease
That makes you go numb
With a big ol' lie
And a flag and a pie
And a mom and a bible
Most folks are just liable
To buy any line
Any place, any time
When the lie's so big
As in Robertson's case,
(That sinister face
Behind all the Jesus hurrah)
Could result in the end
To a worrisome trend
In which every American
Not "born again"
Could be punished in cruel and unusual ways
By this treacherous cretin
Who tells everyone
That he's Jesus' best friend
When the lie's lies get so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappear
The Republican Trick
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!
Just who do they really
Suppose that they are?
And how did do they manage to travel as far
As they seem to have come?
Were we really that dumb?
People, wake up
Figure it out
Religious fanatics
Around and about
The Court House, The State House,
The Congress, The White House
Criminal saints
With a "Heavenly Mission"—
A nation enraptured
By pure superstition
Do you believe in the Invisible Army?
(Yes, indeed!)
When the lie's so big
And the fog gets so thick
And the facts disappearkept forgotten
Then the Republican Trick
(Ketchup is a vegetable!)
Can be played out again
People, please tell me when
We'll be rid of these men!
Rhymin' Man,
Tall and tan,
Rhyme or reason,
Play your hand—
Rhyme on this—rhyme on that
Oh, you naughty Democrat!
They say when Doctor King got shot,
Jesse hatched an evil awful plot,
Dipped his hands in the Doctor's blood,
'N rubbed his shirt like playin' with mud
Looked around for all the press,
'N Said: "Check me out, my name is Jess!
I'll be known from towns 'n farms—
Doctor King died in my arms!"
Rhymin' Man,
Tall and tan,
Rhyme or reason,
Play your hand—
Rhyme on this—rhyme on that
Oh, you naughty Democrat!
A few years later, legend says,
Rhymin' man made a run for Prez
Farrakhan made him a clown,
Over there near Hymie-Town
Said he was a diplomat—
Hobbin' an-a-knobbin' with Arafat
Castro was simpatico,
But Though the U.S. voters, they said: "No!"
Rhymin' Man,
Tall and tan,
Rhyme or reason,
Play your hand—
Rhyme on this—rhyme on that
Oh, you naughty Democrat!
Okay, here we go again!
Rhymin' Man says he's your friend
Any fool can make a rhyme—
Cowboys do it all the time
(They sure doWe could doThey sure do, they sure do)
People say: "Now he's mature!"
Cowboys rhyme that with horse manure
Horse manure!
(Horse manure)
That's for sure!
You been cheatin'—
We kept score!
Are you "this"?
Or are you "that"?
Oh, you naughty
Demo . . . (crat!)
Democrat!
Here we go!
The Surgeon General, Doctor Koop
S'posed to give you all the poop
But when he's with P.M.R.C.
The poop he's scoopin'
Amazes me
C-Span showed him, all dressed up
In his phoney Doctor God get-up
He looked in the camera and fixed his specs
'N gave a fasten little fascinating lecture
'Bout anal sex ANAL SEX
ANAL SEX
ANAL SEX
ANAL SEX
He says it is not good for us
We just can't be promiscuous
He's just a doctor—he should know
It's the work of the Devil, so
Girls, don't blow! DON'T BLOW
DON'T BLOW
Don't blow Jimmy, don't blow Bobby
Get yourself another hobby
(If Jesus practiced medicine
I'm sure he'd do it
Just like him)
Is Doctor Koop a man to trust?
It seems at least that Reagan must
(But And Ron's a trusting sort of guy—
He trusts Ed Meese
I wonder why?) I WONDER WHY
WONDER WHY
The A.M.A. has just got caught
For doin' stuff it they shouldn't ought
All they do is lie and lie
Where's Doctor Koop?
He's standin' by
Surgeon General? What's the deal?
Is your epidemic real?
Are you we leaving something out?
Something we can't talk about?
A little green monkey over there
Kills a million people?
That's not fair!
Did it really go that way?
Did you ask the C.I.A.?
Would they take you serious,
Or have THEY been
Promiscuous
Have THEY been Promiscuous
Have THEY been Promiscuous
Have THEY been Promiscuous

IkeEd: Oh, I'm sorry . . .

What's your name . . . ? His name is Bob? Bob is not the illegitimate son of Michael Jackson, take it from me . . .

While I was down in W.D.C.
Certain folks were not glad to see me
I just tried to get out the vote
But some little weasel must 'a dropped 'em a note
It said:
"Check out the politics
Practiced by this oaf
And if they ain't just right
Feed him Confinement Loaf."
They wanne be

FZ: Alright . . . Now, this afternoon on my way down the elevator we stopped at the lobby, and I was introduced to a man named Sting who I'd never met before. And, he's a very nice man, and he came to the show tonight and I just talked to him in the dressing room a little while ago and I said: "How would you, Mr. Sting, like to come up on stage and perform with us?" Now . . .
Sting: How's [...]. It's not in my nature to kick a man when he's down. When I saw the first part of the show I realised I had to come up here and tell you something. Well, four years ago Jimmy Swaggart said this about me: He said this here song by The Police, "Murder By Numbers," was written by SINSATAN! Performed by the sons of SINSATAN! BEELZEBUB! LUCIFER! THE HORNED ONE! I wrote the fuckin' song, alright?
Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
If you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art
There really isn't any need for bloodshed
You just do it with a little more finesse
If you can slip a tablet into someone's coffee
Then it avoids an awful lot of mess because
It's murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Now if you have a taste for this experience
And you're flushed with your very first success
Then you must try a twosome or a threesome
And you'll find your conscience bothers you much less
Because a murder is like anything you take to
It's a habit-forming need for more and more
You can bump off every member of your family
And anybody else you find a bore
Because it's murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
I said murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers one two three
It's as easy to learn as your ABC
Murder by numbers A B C D E
FZ: Mr. Sting! Ladies and gentlemen . . . Mr. Sting!
Ike: Sting!
FZ: Thank you! "Murder By Numbers" . . . And then, suddenly . . .
Jezebel Boy!
You know all the guys
In the Sheriff's Patrol
They leave you alone
When they round up the whores
Up on Hollywood Boulevard
(What?
Now this is what happens in Los Angeles . . . )
Sometimes that ol' nasty D.A., you saysee,
Thinks Seems to think he needs his name
In the paper again—
That's usually when
The short-pants girls
They have to take that ride
With a friendly, friendly policeman
But the Jezebel Boy
On the corner by the Technicolor processing plant
He stands by the light;
Waitin' through the that night
Waitin', waitin' for that, that, that distinguished-looking
Wilshire District Gentleman
With snow-white hair,
(Senator Hollings: Maybe I could make a good rock star.)
To drive up in his LincolnLinkum,
And whisk away the Jezebel Boy
There he goes now!
Old Ralph will make him put that wretched
Sausage in his mouth again
Ike: Hah hah hah! Hah hah hah!
FZ: Go ahead!
Ike: Hah hah hah!
FZ: Want that it again?
Ike: Yeah, sure!
Old Ralph will make him put that wretched
Sausage in his mouth again
And again
(Again And yet again)
And one more gainAaaaand . . . one mo' gin
Well, hah! Well, you know what they say . . .
Another day,
Another sausage—
Jezebel Boy
These executives have plooked the fuck out of me
And there's still a long time to go
Before I've
Paid my debt to society.
And all I ever really wanted to do was
Play the guitar
'N bend the string like:
'Reent-toont-teent-toont-teenooneenoonee'
I've got it!
I'll be sullen and withdrawn—
I'll dwindle off into the twilight realm
Of my own secret thoughts!
I'll lay on my back here 'til dawn,
In a semi-catatonic state
And dream of guitar notes
That would irritate
An EXECUTIVE KINDA GUY . . .
Well, I guess that one did the trick!
If they only coulda heard it,
Half-a-dozen of 'em woulda strangled
While they was suckin' on each others' dick!
Yeah, but that was just only a bunch of
Imaginary notes I played—
Just a little extra somethin'
To keep me goin' from day to day
But that's okay—
I'll be I'm gettin' outta here pretty soon—
Then I won't have to live
In this ugly fuckin' room
Hey! I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . . Listen here!
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . . Listen here, yeah!
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
Outside now
Outside now
Outside now
Outside . . .
Sing it! I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . . Yeah!
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . . Yeah!
I can't wait to see what it's like
On the outside now . . .
I used to have a job
An' I was doin' very fairly well
Depression came along
An' everybody start to yell
"Where'd they go, them good ol' days,
'An all that crap we used to sell?"
Now I'm in Hot-Plate Heaven,
at the Green Hotel
Republicans is fine,
If you're a multi-millionaire
Democrats is fair,
If all you own is what you wear
Neither of 'em's REALLY right,
'Cause neither of 'em CARE
'Bout that Hot-Plate Heaven,
'Cause they ain't been there
They really oughta go
'N find out how the hall-way smell—
They'd benefit to know
'Bout what the bums in there could tell
(Of course I guess we're only dreamin',
But I s'pose it's just as well
That's ALL you get to dream
Up in the Green Hotel)
Nature didn't put me here,
An' neither did my fate—
It musta been some evil ol'
Republican candidate!
He's over there in Washington,
But I wish he was in HELL
'Cause I'm in Hot-Plate Heaven
At the Green Hotel
Things is slightly better now;
They hope we will forget
The misery of 'TRICKLE DOWN',
An' jelly-bean etiquette
The Regal Presidential Style
Has simply not worn well,
An' But neither has my rags,
Up in the Green Hotel
(I said) the Green Hotel
(I mean) the Green Hotel
(Been there once) the Green Hotel
(An' gone again) the Green Hotel
Neither has my rags
Up in the Green Hotel
Pass me the dog food!
What's a girl like you
Doin' in a Motel like this?
"I left my place after midnight,
When I first got the call . . .
The escort service I work for
Said you wanted it ALL!"
Well, you came to the right place—this is it!
I got the most sanctified johnson in all 'o Louisiana!
No shit!
"How true that is!"
How true, indeed, Llama!
"The other whores at the service said
You helped fulfill their need!
I like to get right down . . .
Do you like to get right down too?"
Well, what did you have in mind?
"Well, I get off being spoo-ed upon
By hypocritical TV Evangelistspreachers
With close ties to the Republican Party,
While Ed Meese wipes his ass
On the U.S. Constitution, screamin' . . .
That is I think I know to [...]tune in
But it's all wrong
That is I think I disagree
'I don't think so—
I can't remember—
I just couldn't ever do that—'"
That Gets me so hot I could scream:
'I don't think so: can't remember: don't remember who . . .
Wrote the memo, or to whom it's to . . . '
Hey, your escort service is real has always been far-out 'n groovy—
Ever been to the Texas Motel?
Let me take you dow-how-how-how-how-how-hownnnnn!
Magic Jesus by the bed,
Wall mounted TV screen,
My church plugged into the gravy train,
And Reagan keeps me clean!
What kind of girl?
What kind of girl would suck his rod?
What kind of girl?
What kind of girl would suck his rod?
(A lazy prostitute!)
We wouldn't blow you just because you know "GOD"!
What kind of girl?
What kind of girl would suck his rod?
This unfortunate little vixen wouldn't let just ANYBODY
Spoo all over her lap—
She wants an ignorant Cracker TV Evangelist
Who's reciting all that crap . . .
Yes, friends . . . Pass the plate around, friends . . . Join us, friends . . .
There's an ugly little weasel 'bout three-foot nine
Face puffed up from cryin' 'n lyin'
'Cause her sweet little hubby's
Suckin' prong part time
(In the name of The Lord)
Get a clue, little shrew
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Jesus thinks you're a jerk
Well, did Would he really choose Tammy to do His Work? Uh-huh! Unh-unh
Hallelujah!
(Yes, friends . . . )
Robertson says that he's The One
Oh he sure is, if Armageddon
Is your idea of family fun,
An' he's got some planned for you!
(Now, tell me that ain't true)
Give me that old time religion!
Now, what if Jimbo's slightly gay,
Will Pat let Jimbo get away?
Everything we've heard him say
Indicates that Jim must pay,
(And it just might hurt a bit) Just a bit!
But keep that money rollin' in,
'Cause Pat and naughty Jimbo
Can't get enough of it (let's dance!)
Perhaps it's their idea
Of an Affirmative Action Plan
To give White Trash a 'special break';
Well, they took those Jeezo-bucks and ran
To the bank! To the bank! To the bank! To the bank!
And every night we can hear them thank
Their Buddy, up above
For sending down his love
(While you all smell the glove)
Henry Cisneros, ladies and gentlemen!
Jim and Pat should take a pole
(Right up each saintly glory-hole),
With tar and feathers too—
Just like they'd love to do to you
('Cause they think you are bad—
Yes, they do!
And they are very mad)
'Cause some folks don't want prayer in school!
(We'd need an ark to survive the drool
Of Micro-publicans, raised on hate,
And 'Jimbo-Jumbo' when they graduate)
Convinced they are 'The Chosen Ones'—
And all their parents carry guns,
(Ah-uh . . . Hey, look! Godzilla!)
And hold them cards in the N.R.A.
(Our here fan, ElvinAh, hellfire, Melvin, hey hee!)
(With their fingers on the triggerstrigger
("It's hot.")
When they kneel and pray)
("I mean that . . . ")
With a Ku-Klux muu-muu
In the back of the truck,
If you ain't Born Again,
They wanna mess you up, screamin':
"No abortion, no-siree!"
"Life's too precious, can't you see!"
(What's that hangin' from the a neighbor's tree?
Why, it looks like 'colored folks' to me—
Would THEY do THAT . . .
They'd They've been doin' it for years!
Seriously?)
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the dynamic Eric Buxton
Imagine if you will,
A multi-millionaire Television TV Evangelist,
Saved from Korean Combat duty by his father, a U.S. Senator
Studied law—
But is not qualified to practice it
Father of a "love child"
Who, in adulthood, hosts the remnants
Of papa's religious propaganda program
Claims not to be a "Faith Healer,"
But has, in the past,
Dealt sternly with everything from hemorrhoids to hurricanes
Involved with funding for a 'secret an 'undeclared war' in Central America
Claiming Ronald Reagan and Oliver North as close friends
Involved in suspicous 'tax-avoidance schemes',
(Under investigation for 16 months by the I.R.S.)
Claims to be a MAN OF GOD;
Currently seeking the United States Presidency,
Hoping we will all follow him into—
The Twilight Zone
But, hey! What if Pat gets in the White House,
(No fuckin' way, Ike,
You know what I mean)
And suddenly—The rights of 'certain people' disappear
Mysteriously?
Now, wouldn't that sort of qualify
As an American Tragedy?
(Especially if he covers they cover it up, sayin'
"Jesus told it to me!")
(I mean pay for [...]vapor tight, we're like this, okay?
I mean that) I hope we never see that day,
(I mean that. Right here. It's hot. It's hot.)
In The Land of The Free—
Or someday will we?
(92?)
Will we?
(96?)
And if you don't know by now,
The truth of what I'm tellin' you,
Then, surely I have failed somehow—
Surely I have failed somehow
Surely I have failed somehow
And Jesus will think I'm a jerk, just like you—
If you let those TV Preachers
Make a monkey out of you!
I said:
"Jesus will think you're a jerk"
And it will would be true!
There's an old rugged cross
In the land of cotton the Stainless Maiden—
It's still just burnin' on somebody's the lawn
And it still smells rottenBut this person looks like Tom ReaganBraden!
Jim and Tammy!
Oh, baby!
You gotta go!
You really got to go!
Jim and Tammy got to go
