Big Lizard In My Back Yard

Dead Milkmen Big Lizard In My Back Yard Lyrics
1.Beach Song

Sand is hurting my tender feet
The air smells like rotting fish and solarcaine
I hate the people on the beach
With their towels and umbrellas
They're so insane
I don't wanna be on the beach! No! (x2)
I don't wanna be on the beach!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No!
I hate my girlfriend, she-she-she
Lies on the beach like a barrier reef
Soaking up the stupid sun
While the radio is blasting fun, fun, fun
I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun! (x2)
I don't wanna be on the beach!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun! No!
(x2)
This is no way to spend a summer
I've got sand caked on my feet
I gave my ice cream to a shark
And now I've got nothing to eat
No fun!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun! No!
I don't wanna be on the beach!
I don't wanna be on the beach! No fun.


2.Filet Of Sole

Filet of sole baby
Is my favourite dish
Filet of sole baby
When the dish is fish
Cause oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Now your cookin' baby
Got an appetite
Said your cookin' baby
Smells out of site
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Little bit of sole and I'm feelin' fine
Little bit of sole and I'm losin' my mind
I'm feeling fine
I'm losing my mind
Filet of sole baby
Now I'm feeling fine
Filet of sole baby
We're gonna dine
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole
Baby I love the stuff you cook
Baby I love the way you look
Ah, the way you look
Uh, that stuff you cook
Filet of sole baby
Is my favourite dish
Filet of sole baby
When the dish is fish
Oh, I lose control
When you serve filet of sole


3.Gorilla Girl

(This is a gorilla girl)
(1.2.3)
Gave to the gorilla girl, gobs and gobs of love.
No one else would touch that girl unless they wore a glove.
Gifted was this girl of mine, great knowledge could she grasp.
But once she ate a golf pro and vomited in the grass.
But I love my groovy gorilla girl,
and her groovy, gorgeous gape, oh!
and her fabulous zoo-keeper father-
my love looks like an ape!
My folks say she's wrong for me; this girl is a mistake.
Whenever I take gorilla girl they whack me with a rake.
(wham!) Took her out to a picnic at a girl scout jamboree.
Golly did those girl scouts gape at gorilla girl and me.
But I love my groovy gorilla girl,
and her groovy, gorgeous gape, oh!
and her fabulous zoo-keeper father-
my love looks like an ape!


4.Junkie

My best friend is a junkie
He shoots up all day
Sometimes he even shits himself
What else can I say?
Shoot up or shut up (x4)
If his girl don't score
He beats her black and blue
He wears his track marks like tattoos
I love to hear his junkie talk
Whenever he talks on the sidewalk
My best friend is a junkie
It's sad but true
My best friend is a junkie
What does your best friend do?
My best friend is a junkie
He shoots up all day
Sometimes he even shits himself
What else can I say?
Shoot up or shut up (x4)


5.Laundromat Song

(1--2--1-2-1.2.3.4)
Soap and quarters and bleach and laundry
Are words I use at the laundromat
Reading the news, and watching the people
That's what I do at the laundromat
At the laundromat my heart grows fat
Ah Ah
As my clothes get dry I stop and sigh
Ah Ah
Dreaming -- Screaming
There's a girl washing her clothes
I'm in love but nobody knows
She looks sixteen or seventeen
My mind grows dirty when my clothes get clean
She's so young and tall
Ah Ah
I'm gonna give her my ALL (or BORAX)
Ah Ah
Dreaming -- Screaming
I'm not a subtle guy
I'll go to her and sigh
'If I don't see you again my love
I'll most surely die.'
Dreaming -- Screaming
Clothes go round and round
And my heart goes up and down
She's drying her jeans
In separate machines
She's loading up her granny cart
Ah Ah
Goin out the door; it's breaking my heart
Ah Ah
Dreaming -- Screaming


6.Rastabilly

My baby's got two hands
My baby's got two feet
My baby's got a forehead
and all the chicken you can eat
My baby's got two elbows
My baby sure has a nose
My baby she's got ten toes
And my baby's got a couple a' those
(you guys comin' to the klan rally tonight?)
My baby drives a truck
My baby sure is good luck
My baby has a pet duck
And my baby is a heck of a Fffff-riend
Yeah, that's right
Somebody kicked my dog Mavis and I'm gonna find out just who the
hell it
was
I'm all messed up on cough syrup right now so just like never
mind


7.Right Wing Pigeons

The town in Georgia's got a law on the books
Says if we all got guns then we won't have crooks
Now what could make them think that way?
What could make them act that way?
They're just right wing pigeons from outer space
Sent here to destroy the human race
They don't give a damn about you or me
They just buy guns and watch TV
Let's go!
The lady in Detroit owns a can of mace
Got pissed at my brother so she sprayed it in his face
Now what could make her think that way?
What could make her act that way?
She's just a right wing pigeon from outer space
Sent here to destroy the human race
She don't give a damn about you or me
She just buys guns and watches TV
The man in the White House who just don't care
He starves little kids and he dyes his hair
Now what could make him think that way?
What could make him act that way?
He's just right wing pigeon from outer space
Sent here to destroy the human race
He don't give a damn about you or me
He just buys guns and watches TV
Go!


8.Serrated Edge

Up on the hilltop where the vultures perch,
That's where I'm gonna build my church,
Ain't gonna be no priest, ain't gonna be no boss;
Just Charles Nelson Riley nailed to a cross.
I don't piss, I don't shit, I'm gettin' no relief,
People shake there heads in disbelief.
GO!
Just me on a hilltop with 15 girls,
In a Nelson Riley orgy that'll make your hair curl.
I don't piss, I don't shit, I'm gettin' no relief,
People shake there heads in disbelief.
Yeah Charles Nelson Riley he's our man,
He can't heal the sick with the touch of his hand,
He can't walk on water, can't make wine flow;
Just another greedy actor on the late late show!
I don't piss, I don't shit, I'm gettin' no relief,
People shake there heads in disbelief.
GO!
Just me on a hilltop with 15 girls,
In a Nelson Riley orgy that'll make your hair curl.
I don't piss, I don't shit, I'm gettin' no relief,
People shake there heads in disbelief.


9.Spit Sink

Oh come on baby take a drink
Never mind that it's a spit sink
A spit sink (x2)
It's nothing but a spit sink
Jam
Took a drink
Thought I was gonna die
Somebody told me
The water was formaldehyde
Ah take off your clothes
Don't be lonely
The sign above
Says 'for Negroes only'
A spit sink (x2)
It's nothing but a spit sink
Jam
Went to the doctor
Thought I was gonna flip
He said 'Boy,
This is a heavy acid trip'
The world is nothing but an open sewer
The trash and slime just runs right through her
Take off your clothes
Let's jump in
We can go
For a little swim
A spit sink (x2)
It's nothing but a spit sink
Jam
Took a drink
Thought I was gonna die
Somebody told me
This water is formaldehyde
Come on baby take a drink
It's acid baby
It'll make you really think


10.Swordfish

Some people believe in astrology
Others believe in technology
Some people believe in all those 'ologies'
But I believe in swordfish
He believes in swordfish
I believe in Happy Days
I believe in Joanie Loves Crotchie
I believe in all that TV crap
And I believe in swordfish
He believes in swordfish
Came up from the ghetto with the help of my stiletto
Every day I hear the people groan:
Why should we buy postage stamps?
We can make our own
We maybe doing something wrong
We could be running a little too long
I guess we better end this song
I say I believe in swordfish
He believes in swordfish


11.Takin' Retards To The Zoo

It's a boring day - I've got nothing to do
Except to get a load of retards and drive em to the zoo
Oh oh oh takin' retards to the zoo (x2)
Load 'em on a bus just for laughs
Down a winding road stepping on the gas
Down a winding road just to stay dreaming
Down a winding road with the retards screaming
Oh oh oh takin' retards to the zoo (x2)
One of them blowing a big spit bubble
Slam on the brakes at the first sign of trouble
Head on collision bodies everywhere
Head on collision retards beware
Oh oh oh takin' retards to the zoo (x2)


12.Violent School

Violence rules! (x5)
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school
(x2)
20 people livin' on a desert isle
They're all friendly they all smile
Then the food supply gets too low
20 people 10 gotta go
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school
(x2)
1,000 people gather in the streets of Manhattan
The lights go out guess what happens?
It's time to steal, it's time to shoot!
It's time to rob... taste my boot!
Violence rules! (x5)
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school
(x2)
Violence rules, guns are cool (x2)
Violence rules, guns are cool and we've got guns, in our school
