1. {The Sanzini brothers +} Penis dimension


[FZ] Ladies and gentlemen, while they’re fixing the amplifiers, the Sanzini brothers!
 
THE SANZINI BROTHERS!
 
[Instrumental]
 
Ho hut
You motherfucker
You shove it up your ass
[Mumble]
Lou Jacobi

[Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan] Penis dimension
Penis dimension
Penis dimension is worrying me
I can’t hardly sleep at night
‘Cause of penis dimension
 
Do you worry?
Do you worry a lot?
 
Do you worry?
Do you worry and moan
That the size of your cock is not monstrous enough?
 
It’s your penis dimension!
Penis dimension!
 
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah
 
[Mark Volman] Hiya, friends! Did you ever consider the possibility that your penis, and in the case of many dignified ladies, that the size of the titties themselves might provide elements of subconscious TENSION? Weird, twisted anxieties that could force a human being as yourself to have to become a POLITICIAN, a POLICEMAN, a Jesuit monk.

[FZ] Dominus Vobiscum et cum spiritu tuo
[Mark Volman] A POLICEMAN!
[FZ] Do it again
[Mark Volman] A POLICEMAN!
[FZ] Do it again
[Mark Volman] A POLICEMAN!
[FZ] More, more! And that too!
[Mark Volman] A rock & roll guitar player, a bass player, a wino, you name it!
 
[FZ] (Hey, you, sit down and be quiet this is a teen-age rock & roll program)
[Mark Volman] And, in the case of the ladies, the ones that can’t afford a silicone beef-up, they become writers of hot books
[Howard Kaylan]Manuel, the gardener, placed his burning phallus in her quivering quim”
[Mark Volman] Or they become Carmelite nuns
[Howard Kaylan] “Gonzo, the lead guitar player, placed his mutated member in her slithering slit”
[Mark Volman] Or they become race horse jockeys! Now, there’s no reason why you or your loved ones should suffer about the size of their organs. THERE ARE ENOUGH PROBLEMS IN THIS DAMN WORLD TODAY, AM I RIGHT?
[Howard Kaylan] RIGHT ON! RIGHT ON!
[Mark Volman] If you’re a girl and you’re troubled with munchkin tits, you can console yourself with this age-old line from primary school. Help me out, brothers.
[Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan]Anything over a mouthful is wasted!”
[Mark Volman] Yes, yes. And if you’re a guy… And you’re a guy and you’re ashamed about the size of your dick, ladies and gentlemen, a prime example.
[Mark Volman] And one night you’re at a party and you’re being so cool, I mean, you’re now… you’re with this really cool lady and you’re not even wearing any underwear. You know, I mean, you’re bein’ so cool. And some guy comes walking up to you, you know, you never even seen before and he’s dressed all in leather, and he walks up to you and he says these words:
[Howard Kaylan] “Twelve centimeters or less?”
 
[Mark Volman] He is a lonely guy. And this happens to you while you’re at the party. Well, let me tell you brothers and sisters, this is the time when you gotta turn around and look that son of a bitch right between the eyes. And you gotta tell him some words that could help him, some words that would show him that there’s a better live than the one he’s leavin living. And right now I’m gonna ask my brother Jeff Simmons behind me here to help us all in this moment by telling us all these words. Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
[Jeff Simmons] Ladies and gentlemen if you can dig a country-western rap then you’re in the right joint. It’s the sacred song of the hour for all of France and the Ruhr valley. My RUMP HAIRS long for your sweet love, whether you like it or not.
 
[Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan] These words…
What’s between your legs is just the last few inches of a complex mechanism which runs up and down the spinal cord and all hooked up to the human brain
Which, if used correctly
Can effectively increase the dimension
And the firepower of your dick
To the point where
In some instances…
 
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah
 
[Howard Kaylan] It could be classified as a LETHAL WEAPON
[Mark Volman] Ladies and gentlemen how about a nice big round of applause for a LETHAL WEAPON? We want you all to sing along with us. Fill this hall with the sound of your voices. Everybody sing “PENIS DIMENSION”.
 
Penis dimension
Penis dimension
Penis dimension is worrying me
I can’t hardly sleep at night
‘Cause of penis dimension
 
Penis dimension
Penis dimension
 
Wah ooo-wah ooo-wah ooo-wah

2. The air


The air escaping from your mouth
The hair escaping from your nose
My heart escaping from the scraping and the shaping of the draping…
 
I’m awaking in a T-shirt, in a Chevy
At the beach
And I’m freezing
And I’m wheezing
And I know you were only teasing
 
I hit you
Then I beat you
Then I told you
That I love you
In my car
In a jar
In my car
In a jar
 
Theeeeeeeeeeeeeee (HA HA HA!) air escaping from your pits
The hair escaping from my teeth
(From you!)
My hands are gripping but they’re slipping and they’re dripping ‘cause I’m tripping
 
I got busted
Coming through customs
With a suitcase
Full of tapes
It was a special
Tape recording
And they grabbed me
While I was boarding
 
Yes, they grabbed me, then they beat me, then they told me they don’t like me
And I crashed
In my Nash
We can crash
In my Nash
We can crash
In my Nash
We can crash
With Graham Nash
Look out now!
 
The Bee Gees!
Won’t you, be-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e
Hear my pleeeeeeeeeeea?

3. Dog breath + Mother people


Pam pam padam pampedam pam

La la la la la wee-ooo

Pam pam padam pampedam pam
Ha ha ha ha ha

Dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit-dit
 

Primer mi carucha (Chevy ‘39 )

Going to El Monte Legion Stadium
Pick up on my weesa (she is so divine)
Helps me stealing hub caps, wasted all the time
 
Fuzzy dice, bongos in the back

My ship of love is ready to attack
 
Buy me a carucha (Chevy ‘39)
Going to El Monte Legion Stadium
Pick up on my weesa (she is so divine)
Helps me stealing hub caps, wasted all the time
 
Fuzzy dice, bongos in the back
My ship of love is ready to attack
 
Won’t you please hear my plea?
Won’t you please hear my plea?
Won’t you please hear my plea?
 
We are the other people
We are the other people
We are the other people
You’re the other people too
Found a way to get to you
 
Do you think that I’m crazy? Out of my mind?
Do you think that I creep in the night and sleep in a phone booth?
 
Lemme take a minute & tell you my plan
Lemme take a minute & tell who I am
If it doesn’t show, think you better know I’m another person
 
Do you think that my pants are too tight?
Do you think that I’m creepy?
 
Better look around before you say you don’t care
Shut your fuckin’ mouth about the length of my hair
How would you survive if you were alive, shitty little person?
 
We are the other people
We are the other people
We are the other people
You’re the other people too
Found a way to get to you
 
We are the other people
We are the other people
We are the other people
You’re the other people too
Found a way to get to you
 
Do you think that I love you, stupid & blind?
Do you think that I dream through the night of holding you near me?

4. You didn’t try to call me


You didn’t try to call me
Why didn’t you try? I’m so lonely
I am so lonely
No matter who I take home, I keep callin’ your name
Shanook
And you… (I need you so bad) you’re The One, babe
 
Tell me, tell me, who’s lovin’ you now
‘Cause it worries my mind and I can’t sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday just to wait for your call
 
And you didn’t try…
You didn’t try…
You didn’t try…
You didn’t try to call me
Why didn’t you try? I’m so lonely
I am so lonely
No matter who I take home, I keep callin’ your name
And you… (I need you so bad) you’re The One, babe
 
Tell me, tell me, who’s lovin’ you now
‘Cause it worries my mind and I can’t sleep at all
I stayed home on Friday just to wait for your call
 
Chak cha-cha chakkechak cha-cha
 
I can’t say what’s wrong or what’s right
 
All you gotta do is call me, babe
 
You make me feel so excited, girl!
I got so hung up on you from the moment that we met
That no matter how I try, I can’t keep the tears
From running down my face, I’m all alone in my place

5. King Kong

Ladies and gentlemen, the George Wein variations

Confidentially, ain’t she sweet?

Charlie Mingus, ladies and gentlemen
 
Kiss my…
Kiss my wrist!

Good night
Thank you very much

6. Who are the brain police?


Yes it’s time for… hot boogie!
HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT
HOOO HOT
 
Oohh oohh ohohohooo

What will you do if we let you go home
And the plastic’s all melted and so is the chrome?
What will you do if we let you go home
And the plastic’s all melted and so is the chrome?
Who are the… Who are the… Who are the brain police?
Police
 
Oohh oohh ohohohooo

What will you do when the label comes off
And the plastic’s all melted and the chrome is too soft?
What will you do when the label comes off

Who are the… Who are the… Who are the brain police?
Mama, yeah!

[Instrumental]
 
Oohh oohh ohohohooo

What would you do if the people you knew
Were the plastic that melted and the chromium too?
What would you do if the people you knew
Were the plastic that melted and the chromium too?
Who are the… Who are the… Who are the brain police?
Police
POLICE
 

[FZ] Thank you very much for coming to our concert. I’d like to request that if you would please leave the hall in an orderly fashion so that we don’t have any problems. (Bring the band on down behind me, boys, this is an important public service announcement). I don’t want to have the police injuring you on the way home. Be nice when you leave the place so you don’t have any trouble.
Good night
