Babe Ruth 01:59
Welcome to the company of great accomplishments In other words a new form of pure entertainment I wanna go go shoot my custom fit It's 10:08 honeydog are you coming with? My honeydog, chasing Tiffany's cat Coffee and croissants Custom Jewelry from a crackerjack box Love has found Andy Hardy in the powder room for fifty bucks He's a rat Stealing home we can do no wrong With a pitch right down the center Who isn't losing money 'round here I'm never gonna call you back, well Honeydog how you feel about that? Kick the jukebox, get off the intro

Coming out of your stereo The local late night singles show Cut a record with no microphone Ok down at the Globe She said her cousin's out working the door Saw the hit Undercurrent video With a thrift store Twins jacket Pocket with a set list Wally won't wake up Not impressed with Solid Gold Wally won't lay up With four feet Four on the Floor No earplugs house show Can't hear nothing from an hour ago Cassettes compacts no vinyl Hey we're sitting back on the beat Kick snare hihat drum machine Too much feedback sounds like a blown rig Patched up jean jacket packet with a half cig Going on unannounced Overproduced, just about Program alert: the venue kicked Rob out Get him back in here

Toad 03:12
Three ring circus Calling my telephone Keep it ringing Leave it alone That's what I'm told Old gameshow host Knocking on my door Keep 'em knocking Don't answer anymore That's what I'm told Oo la la la oo la la Oh that's what I'm told So I'm told So I'm told Sunday's choir Tugging on my suitcoat Keep 'em tugging What If I don't That's what I'm told Ghetto defendant Outside that corner store Calling from a phone booth That don't work no more So I'm told

Nik In Heels 03:44
You're just a bad mouthin' woman I'm a rude, crude crooner Send in the cooler To give you what you want When you're playing with the yellow bananas Everywhere I go There's a big cloud of smoke Following me 'round telling dirty jokes She's a mean 97 pounds I own that gravel road I thought you liked raspy and mean Isn't that what you want When you're playing with the yellow bananas That's how I beat the wheels Beat you and Nik in Heels Playing with the yellow bananas You're just a smooth talkin' woman I'm a rough-cut barroom shooter They call me the cooler Miles wore a dress like some kind of lucky lady Take it off, don't mind if I don't What happened to the good times? If we've ever had em Made it out alive the way he's living It aint clean Droopy So here comes that dangerous man Playing with the yellow bananas

Operation exhaustion Get on that bass Bring in the stomp We’re livin’ loud La-la-la-la we’re livin’ loud Operation Ready to drop Walk it off Operate Operation Exhaustion Keep up on a decent conversation We don’t talk no business We don’t talk at all We got nothing left to talk about Too busy to evacuate Who ya got to sign your paperwork? It’s a get-down situation Who’s got your strut Drop it and turn it out Operation Ready to drop Walk it off Can’t operate on a weekday job Operation Operation Exhaustion Bring in the bass Bring in the stomp We’re livin’ loud La-la-la-la we’re livin’ loud Operation Ready to drop Walk it off Can’t operate on a weekday job Operation Ready to drop Walk it off Can’t Operate Operation Exhaustion

Charlie Buckets five feet tall He wears high heels and overalls Awkward as hell, coffee black Now he's a girl in a pillbox hat Unemployed, the drag queen for Des Moines All she wants from Charlie Is for Charlie to sing his song Unemployed colley boy Pawned away his degree On his own, keeps his hair combed--slicked back Gets his news from staring at his telephone Little city girl head on straight No SOO Line she don't run freight Pays her rent off TV kicks Goin' out after late night shifts All they want from Charlie Is for Charlie to sing his song Mrs. Buckets four feet now Got beat down by the dressed-crowd Sweet as hell, coffee black Still pretty in the pillbox hat Self-employed the drag queen from Des Moines

The news report The remote don't work It don't surf surf surf surf Detroit City got a nightclub called gunshot They can zip lock bag any man If you're trying to shoot dirty pool You might wanna find another barroom Oh I know It's all about a Detroit score Suitcoat ziplock bag Rip it up Plaster in your hair Your bar tab is running this way Gunshot got a bouncer There's no doubt he'd kick you out ;Cause this aint the place we don't close it out Oh I know Talkin' bout a Detroit score Rip it, you're running wild

Angels 02:44
Never was a school boy Never was a shine your shoe boy I was busy hanging with the dogs, rats, and fleas 'Cause all my friends are animals Staying up late at night Smoking cigarettes and drinking gasoline And they're saying Check out this new band They're playing for ya At the last home stand What's left inside Doing everything in sight But the thing they misplaced That one big break Always in trouble Always in the thick of it Burning through songs and hits I don't think he cares who's burning it I don't know what I'm singing But it should sound something like this Let me tell ya I think J's really digging it You sang it better than I did Let me tell ya something Let me tell ya nothing And they're saying Check out this new band They're playing for ya At the last home stand What's left inside Out taking a ride That thing they misplaced That one big break Show em the door Show em out Hey you need some place to stay tonight? Looks like something's on his mind I said see ya sometime down on Fillmore street Take 'em in Take 'em home And they're saying Check out this new band They're playing for ya At the last home stand What's left inside I don't need no advice On that thing that I misplaced That one big break Angels up in heaven, there he goes, it's on Fillmore Street And I'll see ya sometime after the show

Chaz 04:41
Blue jean jacket They call her Bojangles He don't eat the fish But he still gets the combo Blue jean jacket They call her Bojangles Sister calypso Kind of the mumble With a red neon light flashing yellow With a red neon light flashing yeah yeah Loose lips Card cheat Drink sweet Laughing with bad teeth Dice roll Pick pocket On the table Bojangles Suitcase made of red leather It looks real smooth But it's ripped for her pleasure Two Doc Martens And a rip in her flannel Keys on her belt They call her Bojangles Loose lips Card cheat Drink sweet Laughing with bad teeth Dice roll Pick pocket On the table Bojangles I don't get nothing from one drink I don't get nothing off one drag I aint serving Chaz no liquor Nothing past three o'clock I aint serving Chaz no liquor 'Cause that man he don't shut up I aint serving Chaz no liquor Now don't give me no lip I aint serving Chaz no liquor Watch stumble out leave no tip Now you can find him down on easy street Looking for something real cheap I'm certainly tired of serving Chaz no I aint gonna serve Chaz no liquor
