3.6060-842

6060-842!

Tina went to the lady's room
Saw written on the wall
'if you'd like a very nice time
Just give this number a call'

It was 6060-842
606 and i'm waitin' for you
6060-842
606 and i'm waitin' for you

Tina reached in her pocketbook
Pulled out a thin dime
Dropped it in the phone slot
Prayin' she'd get the line

It was 6060-842
606 and i'm waitin' for you
6060-842
606 and i'm waitin' for you

Dial the number to call
Get no answer at all
Dime's in the slot
Ready to trot

Uh, 6060-842
I've been tryin' all day
And i'm makin' no headway
Operator, what's wrong?
I dial stupid number all day long

Operator said,
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected
Your number's been disconnected

Hello?
I'm sorry
Hello?
I'm sorry
Hello?
I'm sorry

7.Downtown

When you're alone, and life is making you lonely
You can always go
Downtown

When you've got worries, all the noise and hurry
Seems to help, i know
Downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city,
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose? the lights are much brighter there...
You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go
Downtown -- things will be great when you're
Downtown -- you'll find a place for sure
Downtown -- everything's waiting for you

Downtown .... downtown...

Don't hang around, and let your problems surround you,
There are movie shows
Downtown

Maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close
Downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over,
Happy again...
The lights are much brighter there,
You can forget all your troubles; forget all your cares, and go
Downtown -- where all the lights are bright
Downtown -- waiting for you tonight
Downtown -- you're gonna be all right now...

Downtown...downtown...downtown...

Downtown!

Downtown!

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you;
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
Guide them along...
So maybe i'll see you there,
We can forget all our troubles; forget all our cares, and go
Downtown -- things will be great when you're
Downtown -- don't wait a minute more
Downtown -- everything's waiting for you...

Downtown...downtown
Downtown...downtown
Downtown...downtown
Downtown...downtown
Downtown...downtown (fade)


8.Give Me Back My Man

She cuts her hair
And calls his name.
Wishin' everything could be the same,
Like when she had him.

I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you everthing i have in my hand.

Walking out of korvettes,
Package in her hand.
Motions to all the seabirds,
Throws divinity on the sand.

I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you everthing i have in my hand.

Give me, give back my man.
Give me, give back my man.

Her head's in a whirlpool,
Spinnin' round and round.
If she don't get her man back
She's gonna drown.

I'll give you fish,
I'll give you candy,
I'll give you everything i have in my hand.

Give her, give back her man,
Give her, give back her man. (repeat)


9.Hero Worship

Heroes falling to the ground
Like hell's magnet
Pulls me down
On my knees
I try to please his eyes
His idol eyes

Jerking motions won't revive him
I just lay down beside him
And idolize

Motor, motor
Broken hearted
Rusted, rotted
Falling apart
A lock of hair
A belt he wore
It's not enough
I want more

God give me his soul
God give me his soul

Heroes falling to the ground
Like hell's magnet
Pulls me down
On my knees
I try to please his eyes
His idol eyes


10.Lava

My body's burnin' like a lava from a mauna loa
My heart's crackin' like a krakatoa
Krakatoa, east of java, molten bodies, fiery lava

Fire, fire, burnin' bright
Turn on your love lava
Turn on your lava light
Fire, oh volcano, over you
Don't let your lava love turn to stone
Keep it burnin'
Keep it burnin' here at home

Oooo hot lava
Oooo hot lava

My love may be as high as the highest volcano
But the altitude is way too high
Well it gets so cold when you look at me that way---yeah
I just wanna have that hot lava
Lovin' me away

My love's mountin'
My love's eruptin' like a red hot volcano
Fire, oh volcano, over you
I gotta lotta lava love locked up inside me

My love's a lava bomb
Knock you in the head
Knock you in the head
Kick you in the lava bed
Over you, hot lava
Don't let your lava love turn to stone
Keep in burnin'
Keep it burnin' here at home

Oooo it's so hot
It's burnin' up in here
Oooo look out, it's about to erupt
Oooo my body's burnin' like a lava from a mauna loa
My heart's crackin' like a krakatoa

Hot fire, red-hot fire
Lava, ohh, hot lava
Hot lava, red-hot lava
Hot lava, re-e-ed, hot lava
Oh hot lava

I'm gonna let it go
Let it flow like pompeii or herculaneum
Let it sizzle, let it rise
Don't let your lava love flow turn to stone
Keep it burnin'
Keep it burnin' here at home

I'm gonna jump in a crater
See ya later
Oooo hot lava
Oooo hot lava
Hot lava
Red hot lava
Hot lava
Red hot lava
Yeah


11.Party Out Of Bounds

Supriiiiiize! paaaaaarty!
Yeah, we just thought we'd drop in!
Where's your icebox?
Where's the punch?
Ew, house-a-tosis!

Who's to blame when parties really get out of hand?
Who's to blame when they get poorly planned?
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo-ooooooooo.

Crashers get bombed, slobs make a mess.
Ya know sometimes they'll even ruin your wife's dress.
Crashers getttin' bombed. (who's to blame?)
Can you pull it back in line?
Can you salvage it in time?

What can you do to save a party?
Parcheesi? charades? a spur-of-the-moment
Scavenger hunt, or queen of the nile? (wooooooooooh!)
Who turned out the lights! (wooooooooooh!)

Bombed, crashers gettin' bombed
Crashers gettin' bombed, bombed, bombed, bombed, well who's to
blame?

Who's to blame when situations degenerate?
Disgusting things you'd never anticipate?
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo-ooooooooo.

People get sick, they play the wrong games.
Ya know, it can ruin your name!
Crashers gettin' bombed. (who's to blame?)
Can you pull it back in line?
Can you salvage it in time?

Woooooooooooh!
It shouldn't be difficult!
Try not to condemn!
O.k. who ordered pizza?
I'll be tactful when making the rounds
Be tactful when making the rounds
And maybeee you can save a parteeee.

Party gone out of bounds!
Gone out of bounds!
Party gone out of bounds!
Gone out of bounds!


12.Planet Claire

Ahhhahhahhahh

She came from planet claire
I knew she came from there
She drove a plymouth satellite
Faster than the speed of light

Planet claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a head

Ahhhahhhahhahh

Some say she's from mars
Or one of the seven stars
That shine after 3:30 in the morning
Well she isn't

Ahhhahhhahhahhahhahh


13.Private Idaho

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
You're living in your own private idaho
Living in your own private idaho
Underground like a wild potato.
Don't go on the patio.
Beware of the pool,
Blue bottomless pool.
It leads you straight
Right throught the gate
That opens on the pool.

You're living in your own private idaho.
You're living in your own private idaho.

Keep off the path, beware the gate,
Watch out for signs that say 'hidden driveways'.
Don't let the chlorine in your eyes
Blind you to the awful surprise
That's waitin' for you at
The bottom of the bottomless blue blue blue pool.

You're livin in your own private idaho. idaho.
You're out of control, the rivers that roll,
You fell into the water and down to idaho.
Get out of that state,
Get out of that state you're in.
You better beware.

You're living in your own private idaho.
You're living in your own private idaho.

Keep off the patio,
Keep off the path.
The lawn may be green
But you better not be seen
Walkin' through the gate that leads you down,
Down to a pool fraught with danger
Is a pool full of strangers.

You're living in your own private idaho,
Where do i go from here to a better state than this.
Well, don't be blind to the big surprise
Swimming round and round like the deadly hand
Of a radium clock, at the bottom, of the pool.

I-i-i-daho
I-i-i-daho
Woah oh oh woah oh oh woah oh oh
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Get out of that state
Get out of that state
You're living in your own private idaho,
Livin in your own private.... idaho


14.Quiche Lorraine

The skies are charcoal grey,
It's a dreary downtown day,
But at the end of my 40 foot leash,
Is my little friend quiche.
Quiche la poodle is her name
And having a good time on a crummy day is our game.

Quiche quiche lorraine
Quiche quiche lorraine

Everyday i take her out. yea!
She runs around, she shouts out and barks, yea!
Cause she's a good doggie
She's a sweet, sweet, sweet puppy! arf arf
And i know she'll stick by me, yea! arf arf

Oh no! here comes a great dane
Drivin' down the lane
Quiche, quiche, quiche come back here;
Don't leave me.
I'll go insane.
I'll go insane.

How do you like that?
Has anybody seen a dog dyed dark green.
About two inches tall, with a strawberry blonde fall;
Sunglasses and a bonnet
And designer jeans with appliques on it?
The dog that brought me so much joy
Left me wallowing in pain.
Quiche lorraine.

I'll show her!
Do you see the key in my hand?
I'm gonna throw it in the lake.
Yea, you've been so rotten to me,
You take the cake.
I'm just gonna lock the door to your kennel,
And just you try and come back to me.
Yea, you'll see.

Quiche quiche lorraine you mangey mutt.
Quiche quiche lorraine i'm talking about quiche!
Quiche quiche lorraine quiche lorraine!


15.Rock Lobster

We were at a party
His ear lobe fell in the deep
Someone reached in and grabbed it
It was a rock lobster

We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster

Motion in the ocean
Oooo wooo
His air hose broke
Oooo wooo
Lots of trouble
Oooo wooo
Lots of bubble
Oooo wooo
He was in a jam
S'in a giant clam

Down, down

Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'

Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Down, down

Let's rock!

Boy's in bikinis
Girls in surfboards
Everybody's rockin'
Everybody's fruggin'

Twistin' 'round the fire
Havin' fun
Bakin' potatoes
Bakin' in the sun

Put on your noseguard
Put on the lifeguard
Pass the tanning butter

Here comes a stingray
There goes a manta-ray
In walked a jelly fish
There goes a dog-fish
Chased by a cat-fish
In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that piranha
There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!


16.Runnin' Around

My baby, lookin' for my baby
