1.Oh Daddy
Oh daddy, when you gonna write that big hit？
Oh daddy, when you gonna hit it real big, real big？
Well, now that's a tall request
For such a small little girl
But i'll try, try till i get it just right
'cause i'm gonna make it, maybe even twice
Oh daddy, when you gonna make it to the big time gig？
Oh daddy, when you gonna blow off the lid？
Well, it's like a backstage pass into paradise
There's a long lonely waiting list
But i'm gonna give it everything i've got to give
Oh daddy, when you gonna be a big star？
I got the suit and a pink guitar
Oh daddy, when you gonna break it wide open
I don't know but i still keep hopin'
Oh daddy, are you gonna make a million bucks？
All it takes it a whole lotta luck
Oh daddy, when you gonna have that fat cadillac like you always
said？
Oh daddy, when you gonna put on some stretch pants, yeah？
Well, don't hold your breath 'cause it'll make you blue
But the whole opera's not over yet
And i aim to make the fat lady sweat
Oh daddy, how you gonna make it to the top？
All i know is i'm not gonna stop
Oh daddy, what are ya' gonna buy your little girl？
Hey, i'm gonna getcha disneyworld
Oh daddy, you could hit the jackpot yet
Like i told now don't hold your breath
Oh daddy daddy, oh daddy daddy
I'm gonna buy you disneyworld!
2.House Of Cards
People like us have our eyes on the stars
And we keep informed via tv guide
And we entertain in a house of cards
But the trouble remains
In our sleeping hearts
Wake up! get out,
Get out of this house of cards
Why are we sleeping？
Wake up! get out,
Get out of this house of cards
Why are we dreaming？
Why are we blinded,
Always the little guys？
Why do we find ourselves
Always compromised？
People like us have lives made of dust
And we know too little,
But we know too much
And our puzzled lives have come all apart
So we go back to bed
With our sleeping hearts
And we stay asleep
In a house of cards
3.One Of Those Days
'i guess', god said,
'it's time to let the little people have
The salad days
Somebody cut the rain,
Let there be lawn chairs in the shade
For everyone
Be sure to give it the works,
The barbecues and the fireworks
And make certain the night is fair
For my lovers in pairs
I'll be behind the sun,
Now let these things be done, uh huh,
It's one of those days'
We had iced-up beer in the park with the picnic gear
Uh huh, the salad days
Between the hoots and shouts
We were knockin' a volleyball around
Every which way
Tan dads without no shirts,
Young things tucked under skirts,
A baby girl whose face is smirched with some dessert,
Bad boys hurtin' their bikes
Shootin' for the world-record psyche
One of those days
Now sometime later on
God peeked from behind the sun, he said,
'looks like it's all worked out and i can rest a while'
God had his great snooze
And through the trees a sleepy breeze blew
It was one of those days
4.Coconuts
(belew／hertzman)
Hello honey, how is every little thing？
Sure i'll be glad to meet you at the beach at ten
I wanna be your brown-eyed handsome man
Plant my feet in the sand
Maybe you could be the sunkist queen
In your cool raybans
Ooohweee, you and me babe
Here comes another summer of love
And we're a fine pair of coconuts
Oil me up, buttercup
Park your towel over here
With your things n' stuff
I'm gonna work on my major tan
I'm gonna get it perfect yet
You go ahead, hon, and jump in the lake
Let me know if it's wet
Ooohweee, you and me babe
Here comes another summer of love
And we're a fine pair
Under the sun
Where there's only one plan
Build a condo in the sand
And maybe we'll be fried again, oh man
Oil me up now coconut
I just love to feel your hands
Oil me up now coconut
I wanna be your man
Ooohweee, you and me babe
Here comes another summer of love
And we're fine coconuts
5.Bad Days
I knew the weather was supposed to turn gray
But i didn't know it'd never go away
Until i answered when my telephone rang
Bad days coming my way
'cause i heard my baby saying
She's gonna be leaving me
Bad days must be on my tracks
'cause i heard my baby saying
She won't be coming back
Bad days
Followed by those awful nights
I could've told you she was tired of my ways
I had no more surprises up my sleeve
But when she went away it sure surprised me, oh
Bad days must be on my back
'cause i sense my baby's never
She's never coming back
Bad days must be here to stay
'cause it seems so long since she,
Since she went away
Bad days
And always those awful nights
So this morning when i slept so late
I couldn't move beneath the heavy weight
I heard somebody at my backyard gate, oh
There she was coming through the haze saying,
'hold me, baby, and i hope i'm not too late'
Bad days are never coming again
Because i heard my baby say she's,
She's never leaving me
Happy days
And no more of those awful nights
6.Peaceable Kingdom
When i wake up in my tree
Wake up in my bedroom tree
A little girl and a parakeet
Are singing to me
My, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom
Why would i ever wanna leave
Leave a peaceable kingdom
And when i wake up on the floor
On the carpeted forest floor
All of the squirrels in their conifers
Are saying to me
My, oh my, even if you had set of wings
Why would you ever wanna fly
From a peaceable kingdom
Oh my, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom
Why would i ever wanna leave
Leave a peaceable kingdom
It's quiet a night
When the monkeys retire
So we lay down our faces
By the fireplace
And sing softly
What a peaceable kingdom
7.Hot Zoo
Pay here
Chimpanzee
Don't park
Under the aviary
Walk through heatwave afternoon fast food hot zoo
Do the shuffle to the buffalo
See the mad monkey by the lonely pay phone
Let's go fishin' in the air conditioned dark
Man, look at the bite on that great big bark
Waste here
Souvenir land
Don't feed
Nobody your hand
Rest room photograph pachyderm cat house hot zoo
Three sleepy zebra in their living room suits
Joke with a crazy cockatoo
Big giraffe in their injured party hats say
'are you gonna watch our customary nap？'
Eat here
A dinosaur egg
Don't touch
The tarantula legs
March like army ants itchin' for a px
Hot zoo
I dig iguana in their outer space duds
Sayin' 'aren't you glad we only eat bugs？'
Closing time, quick! close those gates
Capture a few of these human apes
Exit here
Kangaroo
Don't forget
To come back soon
8.Motor Bungalow
I don't wanna live
Anywhere
I wanna live, i wanna live everywhere
In a rolling big house
Full of fresh air
A motor bungalow,
Round and comfortable
Like a highway yacht with a shower,
No stairs
You can anchor her,
You can anchor her anywhere
Sleep a week or so
And get to know the local jokes
In a motor bungalow,
Round and comfortable
In the bungalow breakfast nook
On the bungalow breakfast table
Violets picked in vermont
And shells knicked on a florida jaunt
And a menu from cohens restaurant
In a motor bungalow
Motor bungalow
One morning
Roll down the windows
Let the north wind in
And fly across the continent
Up to canada,
Whoa, canada
To view a true moose, uuhhhmm
Wet your pants, ha!
In a cold stream
Eat home-made ice cream
And live
In a motor bungalow
9.Bumpity Bump
What's a blue man gonna do
When he collects the whole set of the blues
He can't move,
He can't shake his slump
A blue man says bumpity bump
Hey, bumpity bump
My heart hurts like a drum
What's a man,
What's a blue man gonna do
When he knows the truth of the blues
He can't find the world a satisfyin' place
He can't even face his own face
Why do i hurt like a drum？
My heart says bumpity bump
A blue man
What's he got to do,
Go to sleep to evade the blues？
They might follow him right into his dreams
They might corner him and make him scream
Why do i feel like a bomb？
My heart says bumpity bump
Hey, what's a blue man say
When he's got to wake up
To another blue day
Oh, and nothing is right
And he's got no disguise
Who knows, maybe he woke up
In a different guy
Why do i feel like a bomb？
My heart hurts like a drum, why？
My heart says bumpity bump
10.Bird In A Box
I'm not a free lunch box car parked in the seat
Dead-end streetcar of desire caught by the tailpiece
I'm a jiffy pop tarts are bad for your teen-aged beef
There's a mando-linda evans talking on the
Phone call a porter wagoner tailor-made underwear
Every dog has his dayton ohio hitler
Says to button your fly tijuana place a bette midler
Oh drop dead lock stock and bugle coral reefer man
Every marlon brando gave him a great big handstand
What a lumpy guy lumbago embargo fish pants
Is there a groucho marxist doctrine in the
House calls about a lost set of keystone cops out
The same way you came in through the bathroom wind-
Oh look! a rock'n'roller skate and all skate slowly
Hey man a t-bone state of the aren't
You gonna finish your bird in a box
Hey man your witness to the stand still
Shoulder to shoulder the burden a box
Hey man and even colonel sanders' daddy
Was a thunderbird in a box
Loose tooth three of a perfect paradiced onions cheese
And beans from another planeteri gargoyle change
Every two thousand smiled at
Linda evans called again singing happy birthmark
11.1967
Last night
I took a walk into the back of my mind
Through the trash and the warning signs
There was a party full of jokes and clich's
I couldn't think of anything to say
And so i slipped into the men's room there
I saw my hair a way it's never been before
I took the stairs from my head to my heart
I didn't know they were so far apart
The heart is like a little chapel somewhere,
The pretty lights and the empty chairs
But i'm gonna bring a broom next time
I'll sweep out all the broken strings i find
She walks me down to my private train
And lays me down in my sleeping car
She keeps my elephant out of the rain
And sees to the care of my vintage cars
She is the blood of my life
Without her i would starve
Who you gonna run to？
Who you gonna hide behind？
Who you gonna turn to
When there's nobody home but you？
What's a father to do
With all theses school-less injuns
Running in circles around the wagons
What's a father to do
With all these monster debts
Around my neck
On a sad sun deck
Oh, my children, the times are jaded
The simple life is complicated
Oh, my children
Now if the dark of the night
Arrives in the middle of the day
I'm gonna say my prayer
For sweetness and light,
Gonna fix myself a coke,
And hope it's alright
If the bat-winged beast sweep down
For a feast on me
I'm gonna pin my soul
To a hot-air balloon
Gonna make it pop
And shoot me to the moon
Now you've had another piece of my mind,
A cup of coffee and a slice of time
If you'll excuse me i should say goodbye
I gotta go now.
