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

Wally The Beer Man

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

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

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

Detroit Score

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

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

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
