I walk along the boulevard Late at night, no one's around There's a monster mash in the alleyway It can't be too much further til the light of day There's a bat in the belfry tonight The howling wind makes me feel alright Their eyes seem to stare right through you It's perfectly clear that there's nothing left to do Into the night It's certainly alright We may not forget The night's not over yet I hear a whistle off in the distance I'm not aware of its existence Dark shadows by the light of the moon Waiting for daybreak, it's coming around too soon I can't see, there's nowhere to run I can't hide and it's only begun A feeling stirs from deep within It's hard to live a life completely without sin Into the night It's certainly alright We may not forget The night's not over yet

UGLY BUTT 03:31
When I look into your eyes I do not despise The feelings that I find When I look at your behind Oh baby, you sure got an ugly butt Oh lady, it makes me nauseous in my gut And when that rump is hanging loose It makes me want to say, "Hey! Can that caboose!" You got a perfect nose But don't take off your clothes 'Cuz if I saw you nude I just might lose my food Oh baby, you sure got an ugly butt Oh lady, it makes me nauseous in my gut And when that rump is hanging loose It makes me want to say, "Hey! Can that caboose!" Rump, tush, butt, rear That's the thing I really fear Late at night I wake up screaming Thinking of your white ass beaming Oh baby, you sure got an ugly butt Oh lady, it makes me nauseous in my gut And when that rump is hanging loose It makes me want to say, "Hey! Can that caboose!"

OH BOY 02:59
I am a couch, and I live in a messy house I sit around all day admiring a chair from far away I'd tell the chair just this, but I'm afraid our relationship Might turn around, and then we'd have a hard time being friends I don't know what to do The table told me to tell the truth Coathanger tells me honesty is the best policy Oh Boy! I have a friend, the people in the house call him a bed Toaster laughed at us when we ran down the hall making a fuss I got stuck in the door, I couldn't even move an inch or more When the people they came home, they said WHO MOVED THE COUCH? OH NO! WE'VE BEEN ROBBED! I don't know what to do Did you fine me or did I find you? All I want is a little fun and to run Oh Boy! I hate it when the little people jump on me and they break my springs They give the stove better attention and they talk to the phone when it rings I don't know what to do They don't talk to me, they never do The other appliances won't shut up because I look at people's big butts Oh Boy! I am a couch, and I want to leave this house If I were a bird I'd fly somewhere where I could be heard I'd never have to sing... sad songs about people breaking my springs I'd find myself a chair... or a pouf whose life with I could share I don't know what to do I hope these people get a clue And send me far away from here, maybe over there Oh Boy!

Until the sun rises Before you even speak Since men took off their guises Every night this week When choices have been issued With indecision at its peak Three minutes 'til he's tissued Every night this week Every night this week With great and big endeavors To find the bridge you seek You'll live alone together Every night this week So now or never seniors Onions, chives and leeks Until we reach that great September Every night this week Every night this week Every night this week I'm gonna love you 'til the day I stop I'm thinking of you and I wanna be with you a lot I said every night... Every night this week.

THE PROBLEM 05:29
"The problem," she said, "is useful," and said, "It's far more to pilfer than try and use your head." A plant in her hand A smile on her face Oh look out, you're doing fine And open up the door The same old good guys You've known all your life But now you'd rather eat pie Than try and use your head In Hamlet's soliloquy The poets go to bed It's safer to criticize Than try and use your head The rain falls from the sky The mud seeps through my skin I dream of my neighbors And I try to use my head The problem is clear It's ringing in your ear Just hold on and sit back And try to use your head In a vat full of soup You hang on to my scoop It's better just to disregard Than stand within a group But still you apologize The voices in my head And still I acknowledge-ize You try to use your head The rain falls from the sky The mud seeps through my skin I dream of my neighbors And I try to use my head The poets and preachers Have teeth that are rotting Their brains are of jelly To eat their swill of cotton But cynics will argue And tell them they are wrong But try not to worry And try and use your head And now you should realize The problem in your mind The plants are all dying You watered them last week The rain falls from the sky The mud seeps through my skin I dream of my neighbors And I try to use my head

DISCO SONG 04:29
I put on my angel flight suit And my tight polyester pants I strut down the sidewalk To the nearest discotheque I barter my way through the door A gold chain around my neck I arrive without my hairbrush But don't panic, it's not too late I strut over to the bar Buy a drink and have a smoke See the foxy ladies standing around In their spandex sequined skirts I sidle right over to her A big bulge in my pants She says, "Oooh! Lookie there..." "Do you wanna go out and dance?" The Disco King is on his way He's cumming fast now don't delay Dance Fever is his favorite show You know, the show with Deney Terrio-o-o-o-oooo She looked at me inquisitively I looked back and nodded my head We danced The Hustle all night long When she turned to me and said, "I really had a great time." And then she licked her lips seductively I replied by holding her hand... "Do you want to do some coke with me?" SURE! The Disco King is on his way He's cumming fast now don't delay Dance Fever is his favorite show You know, the show with Deney Terrio-o-o-o-oooo

SPECIAL CITY 03:44
There's a city where I'd like to be Where they serve minors alcohol It will be a fun place to be 'Cuz I'll get drunk 'til the bars close I need my dose of alcohol But I left my I.D. at home They won't serve me here So I go to the Special City Where they'll serve me beer There's a city where I'd like to be Where everyone looks the same Everyone but me Everyone surrounds me bowing at my feet They think I'm a God but I'm really not well It's fun to be treated like an idol For absolutely nothing at all Everything is so nice and beautiful Just like the TV set from the Waltons It's a Special City of my own creation Lodged in the corners of my mind It's my home. Home sweet home. There's a city where I'd like to be When I need a touch of fantasy There's a knocking (knock-knock-knock) That's coming from my ear It's my brother poking me There are too many people in the world today For me to live on minimum wage How can I enjoy my life while I am working cashier At the Wendy's round the corner I have to fry up burgers and I spill shake on my shoes Oh what am I going to do when a little old lady Comes walking in asking, "Where's the beef?" I tell her I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know

I get off work at 2:55 I rush right home to watch Days of Our Lives It's so dramatic, it's so intriguing Look out Roman! Oh no, he's bleeding! I sit by the tube on the edge of my chair My baby starts crying, I don't even care Justin and Adrienne are flying to Greece If that's where the action is Steve wants a piece! These are The Days of Our Lives General Hospital does not satisfy All My Children is a bore And As The World Turns is no more Victor Kiriakis is a bad, bad man Shane says the I.S.A. has a plan Kayla was poisoned, Marlena is dead Will Jack and Melissa ever go to bed? People who say watching "Days" is for scum They don't know about Dr. Horton and son There's danger and romance and heartbreak and greed And lots of twists in the plot to tend to your needs! These are The Days of Our Lives General Hospital does not satisfy All My Children is a bore And As The World Turns is no more Steve! Kayla! Victor! Abe! Diana! Kimberly! Jack! And Norm DePlume! I block out the world, I alter my life So I can find the time to watch Shane and his wife My brothers and sisters are angry with me 'Cuz from three o'clock to four o'clock I hog the TV! Now Anjelica's pregnant with the Kiriakis heir Roman's got amnesia, there's nothing up there Steve and Kayla got married after all their thrills And Eve tried to kill herself by taking lots of pills Now I'm gonna go set my VCR So I can watch the show twenty times or more I'm looking for symbolism, finding a theme I don't think I could find a better show on TV! These are The Days of Our Lives General Hospital does not satisfy All My Children is a bore And As The World Turns is no more
