2.Gotta Boogie

Gotta boogie

Gotta boogie (gotta boogie)
Gotta boogie on my finger
and I can't shake it off

Well, I went out to a party
just the other night
I was jammin' to the music,
I was feelin' alright
I was burning up the floor
like a disco maniac
When my woman said,
'Baby, why's your hand behind you back?'

Gotta boogie (gotta boogie)
I said boogie (gotta boogie)
I gotta boogie (gotta boogie)
Gotta boogie on my finger
and I can't shake it off

I can't pick it off (uh uh)
I can't flick it off (uh uh)
I sure ain't gonna lick it off (oh no)
So I guess I'm gonna have to
learn to live with it

I gotta boogie (gotta boogie,
uh huh, he's gotta boogie)
I gotta boogie (gotta boogie,
uh huh, he's gotta boogie)
I gotta boogie (gotta boogie,
uh huh, he's gotta boogie)
Gotta boogie on my finger
and I can't shake it off

(boogie)
Gotta boogie
(boogie)

Hey, you wanna boogie?
(No man, I don't wanna boogie)
Wanna boogie?
(Get that boogie out of my face)
Do any of you wanna boogie? (No!)

Gotta boogie on my finger
Gotta boogie on my finger
Gotta boogie on my finger
and I can't shake it off


3.I Love Rocky Road

I hear those ice cream bells
and I start to drool
Keep a couple quarts in my locker at school
Yah, but chocolate's gettin' old
Vanilla just leaves me cold

There's just one flavor
good enough for me, yah me
Don't gimme no crummy taste spoon
I know what I need

Baby, I love rocky road
So won't ya go and buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me, ow

They tell me ice cream junkies are all the same
All the soda jerkers know my name
When their supply is gone
Then I'll be movin' on

But I'll be back on Monday afternoon,
you'll see
Another truck load's comin' in for me,
all for me
I'm singin'

I love rocky road
So won't ya go and buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me, ow

(oh, make it talk)

When I'm all alone,
I just grab myself a cone
And if I get fat and loose my teeth
that's fine with me
Just lock me in the freezer
and throw away the key
Sing it

I love rocky road
So won't ya go and buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me

I love rocky road
So won't ya go and buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with

I love rocky road
So won't ya go and buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with

I love rocky road
So won't ya go and buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me


4.Buckingham Blues

Gonna tell you a story
About Chuck and Diane
Couple British kids from
The palace at Buckingham

Chuckie wants to grow up
And be a polo star
And ride his little horsies
All around the backyard, oh yeah

You know they really paid their dues
I said hey, lawdy mama
They got them Buckingham blues

Now Chuckie goes hunting
And leaves Diane alone
So she fixes her hair
And she talks on the Princess Phone

Chuckie's still tryin' to figure out
What his job's supposed to be
And Diane's the fashion leader
Of the aristocracy

I said hey, Lady Di
Tell me where'd you get them shoes, ah
Well, hey nonny nonny
Looks like you got them Buckingham blues

Aw, bein' heir to the throne, well
It must be awful hard
Gotta pose for pictures
Out on the front yard

And Lady Di, well
She must have it pretty rough
Gotta hang around the house all day
Makin' babies and stuff

Another game of croquet
Then they're off on a Caribbean cruise
Well hey bop-a-re-bop
They really got them Buckingham blues

Ah, tell the truth,
now, tell the truth
Wow

I got my mojo workin'
yeah, woo, don't help me now
Ah, hurt me mama, whoa, ah


They don't serve no Twinkies
With their afternoon tea
Never had a dinner
Made by Chef Boyardee

Bein' in the spotlight
Is a hard life to choose
Diane drops half a pound
It's on the six o'clock news, oh yeah

Those kids have really paid their dues
Oh, what a royal pain it is
When you got them Buckingham blues


5.Happy Birthday

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday,
it happens every year
We'll eat a lot of broccoli
and drink a lot of beer
You should be good and happy
that there's something you can eat
A million people every day
are starving in the street

Your daddy's in the gutter
with the wretched and the poor
Your mama's in the kitchen
with a can of Cycle Four
There's garbage in the water
There's poison in the sky
I guess it won't be long
before we're all gonna die

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, what's the matter little friend,
you think this party is the pits
Enjoy it while you can,
we'll soon be blown to bits
The monkeys in the pentagon
are gonna cook our goose
Their finger's on the button,
all they need is an excuse

It doesn't take a military genius to see
We'll all be crispy critters after World War III
There's nowhere you can run to,
nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one, we all get fried

(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
wow!
(background screaming, sound effect)

Album:'Weird Al' Yankovic

Well there's a punk in the alley
and he's looking for a fight
There's an Arab on the corner
buying everything in sight
There's a mother in the ghetto
with another mouth to feed
Seems that everywhere you look today
there's misery and greed

I guess you know the Earth
is gonna crash into the sun
But that's no reason
why we shouldn't have a little fun
So if you think it's scary,
if it's more than you can take
Just blow out the candles
and have a piece of cake

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
wow!

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

(Happy Birthday!)

And a pinch to grow an inch!


6.Stop Draggin' My Car Around

Had to park my car for just five minutes
I had to go inside to use the phone
When I came back again my car was gone
Well, I didn't know it was a loading zone
What a bummer, I was so brought down
I had to chase that tow truck all over town, yellin'

Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my car around


Took my baby to the local disco
I was jumpin' like a maniac
But then the owner came and pulled me off the floor
Then he, he took me to his little office in the back
He said, 'I really like your snaggletooth necklace
Your pants are groovy, and your hair's okay
But, man, that car of yours is so uncool
Like wow, I'm sorry, but we towed it away!'

Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my car around!

Now I'm at home,
I'm watchin' 'Gilligan's Island'
Guess it's time to trade my old car in
For twenty dollars and my '64 Plymouth
Maybe I could get a second-hand Schwinn
Look out the window,
there's tow truck in the driveway
I grabbed the driver and I asked him why
He said, 'I'm sorry, kid,
you're late with the payments
It's time to kiss your little car goodbye'

Stop draggin' my...
Stop draggin' my car around!

Listen, the check's in the mail.
No, really!
Stop draggin' my car around!
Oh man, I just got the hub caps painted!
Stop draggin' my car around!
Hey! Hey, I left a sandwich in the backseat!
Stop draggin' my car around!
Oh...


7.My Bologna

Ooh, my little hungry one, hungry one
Open up a package of my bologna
Ooh, I think the toast is done,
the toast is done
Top it with a little of my bologna

Never gonna stop, eat it up
Such a tasty snack I always eat too much,
then throw up
But I'll soon be back for my, my, my,
yi, yi, woo
M-m-m-my bologna

Spreadin' on the mustard now, show me how
Spread it on a litle of this bologna
Hopin' that we don't run out,
don't run out
If we do I'm sure that I'll miss bologna

Never gonna stop, eat it up
Such a tasty snack I always eat too much,
then throw up
But I'll soon be back for my, my, my,
yi, yi, woo
M-m-m-my bologna


(belch)

Goin' to the market now, market now
I'm the city's biggest bologna buyer
Walkin' down the shopping isles,
shopping isles
Filling up my basket with Oscar Meyer

Never gonna stop, eat it up
Such a tasty snack I always eat too much,
then throw up
But I'll soon be back for my, my, my,
yi, yi, woo
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-my, my, my, yi, yi, woo
M-m-m-my bologna


8.The Check's In The Mail

Well, hey how ya doin' have a seat have a drink
Boy it's good to see you, what can I say?
Oh, sorry gotta run we'll get together again
Say, what was your name anyway?
Well we're working on the problem

Thanks for dropping by and have a nice day

The check's in the mail

And you got yourself a lawyer with a three-piece suit?

9.Another One Rides The Bus

(parody of Queen's Another One Bites the Dust)

Riding in the bus down the boulevard
And the place was pretty packed (Yeah!)
Couldn't find a seat so I had to stand
With the perverts in the back
It was smelling like a locker room
There was junk all over the floor
We're already packed in like sardines
But we're stopping to pick up more, look out

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
Another comes on and another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey, who's gonna sit by you
Another one rides the bus

There's a suitcase poking me in the ribs
There's an elbow in my ear
There's a smelly old bum standing next to me
Hasn't showered in a year
I think I'm missing a contact lens
I think my wallet's gone
And I think this bus is stopping again
To let a couple more freaks get on look out

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
Another comes on and another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey, who's gonna sit by you
Another one rides the bus

cool sound effects


Another one rides the bus

Another one rides the bus ow
Another one rides the bus hey hey
Another one rides the bus hey-ey-ey-ey ey ey eyyyyyy

The window doesn't open and the fan is broke
And my face is turning blue (Yeah)
I haven't been in a crowd like this
Since I went to see the Who
Well I should've got off a couple miles ago
But I couldn't get to the door
There isn't any room for me to breathe
And now we're gonna pick up more yeaaah

Another one rides the bus
Another one rides the bus
Another comes on and another comes on
Another one rides the bus
Hey, who's gonna sit by you
Another one rides the bus


10.I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead

I don't care about your karma
I don't care about what's hip
No space cadet's gonna tell me what to do

I won't swim in your jacuzzi
You can't make me settle down
I'd rather kick and jump and bite and scratch
And scream until I'm blue
I may as well be hyper
as long as I'm still around
'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back
When I'm six feet underground.

I'll be mellow when I'm dead
(I'll be mellow when I'm dead)
I'll be mellow when I'm dead
(I'll be mellow when I'm dead)
I'll be mellow when I'm dead
I'll be mellow when I'm dead
When are you cosmic cowboys
gonna get it through your heads
I'll be mellow when I'm dead

I can't stand the smell of incense
I don't really like to jog
No Joni Mitchell 8-tracks in my car (oooh)

I hate anything organic
Even health food makes me sick
You won't catch me sipping Perrier
Down in some sushi bar, I tell you
Now's the time to go for all the gusto you can grab
You'll have plenty of time to be low-key
When you're laid out on the slab

I'll be mellow when I'm dead
When are you cosmic cowboys
gonna get it through your heads
I'll be mellow when I'm dead

Ow! Bobcat!


I don't want no part of that vegetarian scene
I won't buy me a pair of designer jeans
No redwood hot tub to my name
I got all that I want and if it's all the same to you
I don't need a course in self-awareness
To find out who I am
And I'd rather have a Big Mac or a Jumbo Jack
Than all the bean sprouts in Japan. Wow!!!!


Ah so don't ask me what I'm into
I don't need to prove I'm cool
I'll break your arm if you ask me what's my sign
I won't tell you where my head's at
I don't need to see no shrink
Psychosis may be in this year
but I'm really not that kind
And I'm in no hurry to be casual
In fact I think I'll wait
Until I'm pushing up the daisies
Like wow, man, can you relate?

I'll be mellow when I'm dead
(mellow when I'm dead)
I'll be mellow when I'm dead
wooooowww!


11.Such A Groovy Guy

I got my alligator boots
I wear my pants skin tight
I wear my dark sunglasses
in the middle of the night
And when I look in the mirror
I'm-a such an awesome sight
It makes me wanna kneel down and pray

I'm so adorable and charming
I'm sure that you can see
And everyone's always trying
to hang around with me
They tell me I'm the greatest
and it's hard to disagree
'Cause I'm so perfect in every way

And I'm so cute I can hardly stand it
And I'm so handsome honey I could just die
I know that you'll never be as wonderful
as me but at least you can try
'Cause I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah I'm such a groovy guy

Baby are you in the mood for a little romance?
Well for starters I can pour some chocolate
pudding down your pants
And then attatch electrodes to your brain
and watch you dance
Oh, golly wouldn't that be fun?

And then I might decide to
tie you up with dental floss
I'll make you wear a harness
and I'll show you who's the boss
Of course if you refuse,
well honey it's your loss
I mean I don't do this with just anyone.

So baby how can you say it's all over?
So how can you tell me goodbye?
So now you tell me that
you're leaving me for good
And all I wanna know is why

I mean after all
I'm really such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah I'm such a groovy guy
I mean you could do worse!


I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
Yeah I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy groovy guy (such a groovy guy)
I'm such a groovy guy (such a groovy guy)


12.Mr. Frump In The Iron Lung

I visit Mr. Frump in the hospital
I see him most every day
And when I see Mr. Frump in his iron lung
This is what I hear him say

(deep breathing)

Y'know, Mr. Frump is my very best friend
He's never a chump or a tease
He never tells me lies,
and best of all
He never disagrees

I bring him candy
and flowers every afternoon
Sit down by his side and say 'Hi'
And then I ask him his opinion
of the world situation
And I wait for Mr. Frump's reply,
and Mr. Frump would say

(deep breathing)


Well, unfortunately,
soon it came to be
Mr. Frump's dying day
And now I bring to you
the very last thing
That Mr. Frump had to say

(deep breathing, that fades and dies off)

Amen
