Alley-Oop

There's a man in the funny papers we all know
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He lives way back a long time ago
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He don't eat nothin' but a bear cat stew
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Well, this cat's name is Alley-Oop
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He got a chauffeur that's a genuine dinosaur
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
And he can knuckle your head before you count to four
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He got a big ugly club and a head full of hair
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Like great big lions and grizzly bears
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley-Oop) He's the toughest man there is alive
(Alley-Oop) Wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide
(Alley-Oop) He's the king of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go) (Scream)
He rides through the jungle, tearin' limbs off of trees

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Knockin' great big monsters dead on their knees
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
The cats don't bug him 'cause they know better
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
'Cause he's a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley-Oop) He's the toughest man there is alive
(Alley-Oop) Wears clothes from a wildcat's hide
(Alley-Oop) He's the king of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go) (Scream)
There he goes
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Look at that cave man go
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He sure is hip, ain't he?
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Like what's happening
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He's too much
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Ride, daddy, ride
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Hi-yo, dinosaur
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Ride, daddy, ride
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Get 'em, man
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Every Rose Has Its Thorn

We both lie silently still
In the dead of the night
Although we both lie close together
We feel miles apart inside
Was it something I said or something I did
Did the words not come out right
Though I tried not to hurt you
Though I tried
But I guess that's why they say
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Yeah it does
I listen to our favorite song
Playing on the radio
Hear the DJ say loves a game of easy come and
Easy go

But I wonder does he know
Has he ever felt like this
And I know that you'd be here right now
If I could have let you know somehow I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn
Though it's been a while now
I can still feel so much pain
Like a knife that cuts you the wound heals
But the scar, that scar remains
I know I could have saved a love that night
If I'd known what to say
Instead of makin' love
We both made our separate ways
And now I hear you found somebody new
And that I never meant that much to you
To hear that tears me up inside
And to see you cuts me like a knife I guess
Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn

1997

The coolest looking year, ever.

I’m sorry, but like, 1997 was the coolest looking year. 9’s and 7’s together really look cool.

Long Cool Woman

Saturday night I was downtown
Working for the FBI
Sitting in a nest of bad men
Whiskey bottles piling high

Bootlegging boozer on the west side
Full of people who are doing wrong
Just about to call up the D.A. man
When I heard this woman singing a song

A pair of forty fives made me open my eyes
My temperature started to rise

She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall
Just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all

I saw her heading to the table
Well, a tall walking big black cat
Charlie said, I hope that you're able, boy
'Cause I'm telling you she knows where it's at

Well, suddenly we hear the sirens
And everybody started to run
Jumping under doors and tables
Well, I heard somebody shooting a gun

Well, the D.A. was pumping my left hand
She was holding my right
Well, I told her, don't get scared
'Cause you're gonna be spared
I've gotta be forgiven if I wanna spend my living

With a long cool woman in a black dress
Just a 5'9" beautiful 'n' tall
Well with just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all
Had it all, had it all, had it all (she had it all)

When Darkness Falls

When darkness falls
Foggy night
The heathen's valley
The forest is filled with hate

Souls of the dead
Rising up
The Horde gathers
Ready for battle
Ride off
With hatred in his eyes
Bloody ashes
As proof of our victory

Then we gather
To celebrate victory
The cry of the ravens
Sets the mood

Our souls disappear…
The twilight fades
The night is almost over…
Soon we will gather again

(When Darkness Falls)

Underwater Moonlight

He was white and she was white
As only statues are
Fifty years they stood there looking
Stupid by a jar
One night in mid August when the moonlight got too strong
They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song

Past the gun emplacement and the
Bones as white as bleach
Through the rats and ivy til' they
Came out on a beach
Out into the ocean til' they disappeared from view

Honey when it gets you there's just nothing you can do.

Underwater moonlight, sets the body free
Underwater moonlight, baby you and me

Underwater moonlight, underwater moonlight

He was pink and she was pink
And onward they did row
Didn't see the giant squid, though
It was fairly slow
When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead
The statues took their place, and then they rode back home instead

Underwater moonlight
Take your baby down
Underwater moonlight
Watch your baby drown
With love
And in the moonlight
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight

Underwater moonlight
Sets the body free
Underwater moonlight
Baby you and me
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight

Kinky Afro

Son, I'm 30

I only went with your mother 'cause she's dirty

And I don't have a decent bone in me

What you get is just what you see yeah

I see it so I take it freely
And all the bad piss ugly things I feed me

I never help or give to the needy

Come on and see me

I had to crucify some brother today

And I don't dig what you gotta say

So come on and say it

Come on and tell me twice

I said dad you're shabby

You run around and groove like a baggy

You're only here just out of habit

All that's mine you might as well have it

You take ten feet back and then stab it

Spray it on and 'tag it
So sack on me

I can't stand the needy

Get around here if you're asking you're feeling

I had to crucify somebody today

And I don't dig what you gotta say

So come on and say it

Come on and tell me twice

So sack all the needy

I can't stand to leave it

You come around here and you put both your feet in

I had to crucify somebody today

And I don't dig what you gotta say

So go on and say it

I had to crucify some brother today

And I don't hear what you gotta say

So come on and say it

Come on and tell me twice
