1. The return of the hunchback duke {The little house I used to live in}

[Instrumental]

2. Help, I’m a rock

[Instrumental]

[FZ] Help, I’m a rock

Help, I’m a rock

Sure, it’s a drag being a rock

I wish I was anything but a rock

I would even like to be a policeman

It’s a drag being a policeman

With these long working hours

The stupid blue suit

Ride around this car

With a stick an’ a gun an’ a dog an’ another policeman

Waitin’ for a chance to find some long-hair creep

And take the piss out of him

It’s a thankless job, keeping America safe for Americans

Ah, I wish I was anything but a policeman

I’d even like to be a Nazi soldier

[Instrumental]

3. What it was

[Instrumental]

4. Medley: Son of Mr. Green Genes + King Kong + Chunga’s revenge

6. Penguin in bondage

She’s just like a penguin in bondage, boy

Oh yeah oh yeah oh

Way over on the wet side of the bed

Just like the mighty penguin

Flappin’ her eight ounce wings

Lord, you know it’s all over

If she come atcha on the strut & wrap ‘em all around yer head

Flappin’ her eight ounce wings, flappinumm

She’s just like a penguin in bondage, boy

Shake up the pale-dry ginger ale

Tremblin’ like a penguin when the battery fail

Lord, you must be havin’ her jumpin’ through a hoopa real fire ▶

With some Kleenex wrapped around a coat-hang wire

[Instrumental]

She’s just like a penguin in bondage, boy

Oh yeah oh yeah oh

Howlin’ over to some antarcticulated moon

In the frostbite nite with her flaps gone white

Shriekin’ as she spot the hoop across the room

(Good God, she spot the hoop)

Lord, you know it must be a penguin bound down

If you hear that terrible screamin’ and there ain’t no other birds around

She’s just like a penguin in bondage, boy

Oh yeah oh yeah oh

She’s just like a penguin in bondage, boy

Oh yeah oh yeah oh

Aw, you must be careful not to leave her straps TOO LOOSE

‘Cause she just might box yer dog

An’ leave you a dried-up dog biscuit…

7. T’Mershi Duween

[Instrumental]

8. The dog breath variations

[Instrumental]

9. Uncle Meat
