The Arrogant Worms Dirt Lyrics
1.A Man Has Needs

Baby i wanna tell you all my hopes and dreams and fears
But i'm watching television, could you get me another beer
There's wrestling and pro football on, i hope you understand
I must watch it all for i am a man

And a man has needs
And a man has desires
Eternal fires that burn, burn, burn
And a man he bleeds
And a man he perspires
'til the stains show on his shirt

I missed our anniverary and the birth of our son
It was beyond my control, my team was on a playoff run
Oh baby, baby, baby, you mean everything to me
But could you move your butt, you're blocking the tv?

And a man has needs
And a man has desires
Eternal fires that burn, burn, burn
And a man he bleeds
And a man he does tire
Gets sleepy and naps on the couch

Oh baby, oh honey, oh darling, oh pudding, what are you doing
with that suitcase? leaving me? what do you mean we don't
communicate? we're talking all the time. we're talk about-- ooh!
monster t
! that little volkswagon ain't got no chance against the
cowcrusher! c'mon cowcrusher, crush that little volks-- you're
gone. i hope she left me one of them pudding pops. they're
tasty.

And a man has needs
And a man has desires
Eternal fires that burn, burn, burn
And a man he bleeds
And he shops at canadian tire
And he always keeps his coupons

And a man has needs
And a man has desires
Eternal fires that burn, burn, burn
And a man he bleeds
And a man he expires
And he cried when wayne gretzky retired


2.Steel Drivin' Man

Special guest vocalist, mike's dad:bob mccormick
(mike's dad appears courtesy of mike's mom)

There once was a time when the country was wide. a time before
cars and planes and minivans. so, to move things from one place
to the other, the railroad was built. but it just didn't up and
bui
Self. nope, it was built by the railroad men. and among these
men was a man among men among men among men among men among men,
a man as tall as the sky and as wide as the land. a man who
could l
Ack faster than anyone else could run. a man with the strength
of ten men. his name was john henry, and i'm not gonna sing
about him. no, i'm gonna sing about a lesser know figure, one
who doesn
Serve a song. a man as lazy as a thousand men. a man who could
barely raise his own body off the ground. a man who was barely a
man at all. his name was mike mccormick.

Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man

He'd get up in the morning to hammer in them spikes
Unless he'd been up drinking the previous night
Or if his bones weren't feeling right
Or if it looked like it was going to rain

He had a tendency of being late for work
And everyone around thought he was a jerk
He'd take long breaks and say his back was hurt
Then he'd have a drink to ease the pain

Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man

Mike's dad: mike! mike! get up, mike!
Mike: what, what is it?
Mike's dad: get up, it's time to go to work.
Mike: awww, already?
Mike's dad: well, don't you want to hammer in them spikes?
Mike: no.
Mike's dad: oh.

His arms were like twigs and his legs were like straws
His hands were like a baby's bum they were so soft
He'd wheeze and moan and whine and cough
Then go home and take a little nap

He never got fired cuz he was the boss' son
He just hung around and bothered everyone
Never drove a spike, not a single one
Though now and then he'd give a tap

Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man

Mike's dad: mike! mike! mike!
Mike: what? what is it?
Mike's dad: they say they got a big machine that they say can
drive in nails faster than any man alive.
Mike: sounds like a good idea.
Mike's dad: no! no! no!
Mike: yeah, it'll work faster.
Mike's dad: you don't understand! you see, it's gonna cost us
all our jobs. you, mike mccormick, gotta prove 'em wrong!
Mike: okay.

So he took his hammer and hammered one time (ow!)
He took his hammer and hammered two times (oh, jeez!)
He took his hammer and hammered three times (ohhh!)
Then he got crushed by a meteor and died

Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man
Who never really gave a damn
Only thing he worked on was his tan
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man
Mike mccormick was a steel drivin' man (steel drivin' maaaan)


3.Great To Be A Nerd

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd
The only light we ever see is from our moniter

We argue about comic books and internet connections
The biggest highlight of the year is the star trek convention
Our town's not big enough to sign up any stars
But we once met a red shirt who was phasered by a borg
(man, he knew mr. sulu!) (what?)

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd
We wear our star trek uniforms and talk like captain kirk

We have our own heroes who we try to emulate
I dream of one day being as sexy as bill gates
We hate watching sports 'cause we're reading carl sagan
But we'd watch the olympics if they played dungeons and dragons
(i'm a hobbitt! ha ha ha ha!)

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd
We think tolkein was a genius and shakespeare was a turd

We rarely get a date or get talked to by a girl
Unless they're having trouble with their algebra homework
We're emotionally bereft and we're sexually frustrated
But we can download photographs of agent scully naked

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd
We know the truth is out there but we'd have to leave our room

We are the nerds in your neighbourhood
Polyester's a fashion statement
But there's more room on the beach for you
'cause we're locked in our basement

It's great to be a nerd, it's great to be a nerd
We like to wear colours that do not appear in nature

It's great to be a
Poorly-dressed fashionless
Star trekking roleplaying
Ninety pound when wet down
Pasty skinned pop drinking
Underfed genius
Yes, it's great to be a nerd


4.Celine Dion

I think i've got a crush on celine dion
The way she beats her chest when she sings a love song
There's something about her makes me want to feed her
And i'd love to be mister celine dion

She'll sing a song in english, and she'll sing en francais
Both the songs will suck, but i love her anyway
She's full of emotion, i'm full of devotion
For celine and i'll be hers someday

Oh celine dion, you soft-rock my world
Won't you please be mine celine
I would do anything, if you'd be my girl
Oh, be my girl celine
I sent you cards and letters, but you don't respond
You play hard to get, but my heart goes on and on (and on and
on, etc...)
I just wanna say, je aimerez
And i can see your house from my van

Oh celine dion, you soft-rock my world
Won't you please be mine celine
I would do anything, if you'd be my girl
Oh, be my girl celine

Celine celine
Her skin's so soft and clean
Just like porcelain
I wish she'd slather me
With a tub of vaseline
(that was a little creepy) i'm sorry, celine
Celine celine

Celine dion


5.Rocks And Trees

My country's bigger than most
And if asked i boast
'cause i'm really proud
So i shout it loud
Though our numbers are few
We will welcome you

Although we don't have history
Gold medal winning teams
Heroes or prisoners
World famous volcanoes
Still what we've got's glorious

'cause we've got
Rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And water

All right, everyone!

We've got
Rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And rocks and trees
And trees and rocks
And water

In canada, canada, canada, canada, canada, canada, canada,
canada
Canada, canada, canada, canada, canada, canada, canada, canada


6.The Gaelic Song

Through the ages, through war, pestilence and sleet, the celtic
culture has survived, it's songs and dances passed from father
to son, from mother to daughter, from uncle to goat. and though
few
L speak gaelic, the ancient language of the celts, all hearts
are still stirred by the beautiful tones of this mellifluous
tongue.

Ah ma wee hach patew mae bo clee hach maneagh
Heow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow bark meow
Saigh hough loo loo cheow dach hagh vreigh chouach mouheaugh
Douauh meah mae couchah moo ma meagh pach hooragh

And though other cultures tried to destroy them, driven no doubt
by their jealousy of the celts' fine fashion sense and edible
cuisine, they did not surrender. actually, they surrendered
quite o
But they were never entirely wiped out, clinging to the corners
of small islands, their voices raised in song, the clarion call
of the pipes ringing out to the heavens.

(undescribably beautiful penny-whistle solo)

Ah ma wee hach patew mae bo clee hach maneagh
Heow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow bark meow
Saigh hough loo loo cheow dach hagh vreigh chouach mouheaugh
Douauh meah mae couchah moo ma meagh pach hooragh

Ah ma wee hach patew mae bo clee hach maneagh
Heow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow bark meow
Saigh hough loo loo cheow dach hagh vreigh chouach mouheaugh
Douauh meah mae couchah moo ma meagh pach hooragh
Meach bo meah mea bloh meah hoo noo euach moo doo beah


7.Wong's Chinese Buffet

I'm feeling hungry, empty tummy, and i want to make it full
So i spend the day at wong's buffet and i eat till i explode

There's sixty types of oriental delights, i gotta have them all
Chicken wings and onion rings, and sweet and sour balls

At wong's, come and sail with me
At wong's, on the sea of gluttony
At wong's, eat until it hurts
But don't forget there's pudding for dessert

The chicken's tough, the noodles are rough
And the chow mein's three days old
But it's quantity not quality that has got my soul

So fill that plate, no mistake, there's no holding back
I won't stop until i got a packed digestive tract

A wong's, no meal is a loss
At wong's covered in red sauce
At wong's, everything is battered
And what's inside doesn't even matter

Stop! ooooohhhhh. second plate! huh! third plate! oh.
Fourth plate. ooooohh. dessert. uuuuuuugg.
Fortune cookie. i ate the fortune.

I try to leave, i want to heave, my whole body hurts
Can barely stand, i tell you man, i got my money's worth

If i get the time i'm going to go to china
And eat at their ancient buffets
But i'm wonderin', how they stay so thin
Eating like this every day

At wong's, give chopsticks a try
At wong's, to pick up your french fry
At wong's, you know i'm coming back
Eating here's worth the heart attack
Wong's chinese buffet


8.I Am Cow!!!!

I am cow, hear me moo
I weigh twice as much as you
And i look good on the barbecue
Yogurt, curd, cream cheese and butter's
Made from liquid from my udders
I am cow, i am cow, hear me moo (moo)

I am cow, eating grass
Methane gas comes out my ass
And out my muzzle when i belch
Oh, the ozone layer is thinner
From the outcome of my dinner
I am cow, i am cow, i've got gas

I am cow, here i stand
Far and wide upon this land
And i am living everywhere
From b.c. to newfoundland
You can squeeze my teats by hand
I am cow, i am cow, i am cow
I am cow, i am cow, i am cow!


9.Johnny Came Home Headless

Oh, johnny was a tall man but his memory was short
He'd forget to at doorways and often he'd get hurt
I took good care of him for he had no family
Actually he did, but he forgot who they be

Johnny often liked to go out on the town
He'd forget where he'd be going so he'd just wander around
I when he was back for i would hear the smack
Of his head hitting the doorway but tonight it was alack

Johnny came home headless, it was a great disgrace
But wherever it's a-lying there's a smile upon his face
I should have seen it coming, he finally lost his mind
But if his head don't turn up soon then all his hats are mine

Johnny came towards me but suddenly he stopped
As if trying to think of something but having no luck
Still he didn't notice that his head weren't there
'til he took out a brush and tried to comb his hair

I said, 'johnny where's your cranium?' but he didn't seem to
know
He just shrugged his shoulders and tried to find his nose
And the sight of him there topless made me start to cry
For i learned we'd ne'er see eye to eye

Johnny came home headless, it was a great disgrace
But wherever it's a-lying there's a smile upon his face
I should have seen it coming, he should have stayed in bed
For now i fear he'll spend his life just trying to get ahead

Refusing to believe that he had split for good
His lower half and me searched the neighbourhood
It soon became apparent that his head we wouldn't find it
He could not retrace his steps, he was absent minded

Well years went by til late one night i heard a voice i swore
Was johnny calling out to me, i flung open the door
Johnny's head was home, it took a taxi cab
Alas, it was too late, his body had gone bad

Johnny's head was homeless, his body was cremated
And the funeral was harder than he had anticipated
I should of seen it coming he said in his eulogy
But never thought i'd have to say i ain't got no-body

(i ain't got nobody)

Johnny came home headless, it was a great disgrace
But now his head's upon a shelf, a smile upon his face
But now his head's upon a shelf, a smile upon his face


10.Heimlich Maneuver

I love you so much i need the heimlich maneuver

The sun goes down on another day
A day where i haven't found love
I try to eat, but all i taste
Is the flavor of a broken heart
Then i saw you across the room
I gasp and my breathing stops
My heart's in my throat, or is it a potato?

I love you so much, i need the hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
My love is consumating, while i'm asphyxiating
Over her

When i wake up, i'm on the floor
Faint, dizzy and alone
My stomach hurts, i think my ribs are cracked
Not sure if i'm in a dream
I turn my head, and there you are
I call out and my breathing stops
It's her again, crushing my esophagus

I love you so much, i need the hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
Before my expiration, i need resuscitation
Mouth to mouth

She throws water on my face, slaps my cheek
Helps me back on my stool
She's a waitress here, but in the night
She's a student at nursing school
She comes again with a smile and the bill
I pick it up and choke again
She's charged me for my lunch and for the medical procedure

I love you so much, i need the hiemlich manuver
Your love sticks like a turkey bone in my throat
She's in my thoughts and it'll need a jolt to remove her
For my lasting endurance, i'll need medical insurance
For my bill
For me to get some peace, i'll need a tracheotomy
And an airbag


11.Scary Ned

Let me tell you a story about scary ned
Scariest guy to ever wet a bed
He had hands on his arms and eyes on his head
But they weren't his

He'd go down to the market and try to scare the fish
He said that they bothered him, they weren't his favorite dish
Then he'd go down to the highway and pretend that he was dead
That just the way he was, creepy scary ned

Ooohh oohhhhh scary ned

Ned loved halloween cuz he didn't need a mask
He'd steal the children's candy, he didn't even ask
He'd sit right down in front of them and then he'd start to eat
He'd tell them they were better off cuz that stuff can rot your
teeth

Ooohh oohhhhh ooohh oohhhhh scary ned

A strange glow would come from his place late into the night
He'd watch t.v. 'til the dawn, you know that ain't right
If he started to get tired he'd rub sauerkraut on his head
That's just the kind of guy he was, good old scary ned

Ooohh oohhhhh ooohh oohhhhh ooohh oohhhhh scary ned

He had a face his mother didn't love
When people saw on the street they often said 'uughh!'
Sometimes late at night he'd walk alone
He'd be reciting stuff
Bad sounding stuff
Icky awful stuff
But when you got to know him, he weren't so bad

Ooohh oohhhhh scary ned
Ooohh oohhhhh ooohh oohhhhh ooohh oohhhhh scary ned

He's pretty scary
Scary ned
Really scary
Scary ned
He's scary
Hence the name
Scary ned
I saw him yesterday
He said 'hi'
I got scared
'cause he's
Scary ned
If he weren't scary
I supposed he'd be called
Like, happy ned
And who wants to hear a song about
Happy ned (happy ned)


12.Sponges

Can't think of anything to sing about
Not much out there to sing about
The world's okay, the weather's fine
No need to sing about that

I'll sing about

Sponges
Sponges yeah!
Sponges
Sponges yeah yeah
Sponges suck, sponges suck
Sponges absorb liquid then you squeeze them out yeah!

There's lots of songs of peace
Lots of songs of love
Even songs about peaches and valkyries
No songs about

Tuna fish, tuna fish, tuna fish, tuna fish
They're real big and swim in oceans
Come in cans like hockey pucks
Tuna got their names 'cause they don't swim in pairs!

Get it? tuna. are there two of those fish? nah! two-nah!
two-nah! it's funny! hee hee! no? i like tuna.

Sponges
Sponges yeah!
Sponges
Sponges yeah yeah
Sponges suck, sponges suck
Sponges suck, sponges suck
Sponges clean up dishes and sinks
And countertops and baby's noses
They suck up soap and when you squeeze them out they make
Bubbles!
Bubbles!
Bubbles!

Sponges

Oh really?

Yeah.

We could like, go out on jetskis, or maybe, you know.. i'm gonna

Oh, the whale!

Yeah, i'm gonna ride the humpback whale that's on the roof..

Near the tennis court, in the pool of our

Winnebago!

Yeah, that's right, sometimes you have to hurry quick.

Yeah, i know.

Cause the band..

I'm getting tired, man. i'm getting tired of you, you know.

You know, we're going to have to pay the band overtime for
