2. I’m the slime


[Instrumental]
 
[FZ] I am gross and perverted
I’m obsessed an’ deranged
I have existed for years
But very little has changed
 
I’m the tool of the government
And industry too
For I am destined to rule
And regulate you
 
I might be vile and pernicious
But you can’t look away
I make you think I’m delicious
With the stuff that I say
 
I’m the best you can get
Have you guessed me yet?
I’m that crap on MTV, on your TV set
 
You will obey me while I lead you
And eat the garbage that I feed you
Until the day that we don’t need you
Don’t go for help… no one will heed you
 
Your mind is totally controlled
It has been stuffed into my mold
And you will do as you are told
Until the rights to you are sold
 
Take it away, Nina Blackwood
[Ray White] That’s right, folks… don’t touch that dial!
 
Well, I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go
I am the slime from your video
Oozin’ along on your livin’ room floor
I am the slime from your video
Can’t stop the slime, people, lookit me go
 
[Instrumental]

3. Be in my video


Be in my video
Darling, every night
I will rent a cage for you
And mi-j-i-nits dressed in white
Teeny-little-tiny-little…
 
Twirl around in a lap dissolve
Pretend to sing the words
I’ll rent a gleaming limousine
Release a flock of ber-herna-herna-herna-herna-her-nerds
 
Why don’t you
Wear a leather collar
And a dagger in your ear?
Stabbinitin-stabbinitin-stabbinitin-stabbinitin-YOU!
I will make you smell the glove
And try to look sincere
 
Dance the blues

Let’s dance the blues
Let’s dance the blues

Under the megawatt moonlight
 

Pretend to be Chinese
One-hung-low

I’ll make you wear red shoes
There’s a cheesy atom bomb explosion all the big groups use
 
Atomic light will shine
Through an old Venetian blind
Making patterns on your face
And then it cuts to outer space
With its billions & billions & billions & billions
 
Be in my video
In my video
Darling, every night
Darling, every night
Everyone in cable-land
Everyone in cable-gable-land
Will say you’re outasite
I say they’ll say you’re outasite
 
You can show your legs
You can show the pretty legs
While you’re getting in the car
In my red hot rod car, then I…
Then I will look repulsive
With my big ears and all
While I mangle my guitar
 
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon-tee-nu-nee-nu-nee
MOO-AHHH
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon-tee-nu-nee-nu-nee
MOO-AHHH
Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon-tee-nu-nee-nu-nee
MOO-AHHH
Tee-nu-nee
MOO-AHHH
Tee-nu-nee
Moo-wah-wah-wah-ooo
 
After all the close-up shots of you
In bondage leather

They’ll spray an alley with a hose
And we’ll escape together
Then we’ll…
 
Dance de blude agin
Oh we’ll dance it very much
Led dance de blude agin

Oh, you’ll love it, it’s a way of life
Led dance de blude agin
Oh, we’ll dance the blues
In de middle o’ de alley
 
Let’s dance your face
Let’s dance your lips
Let’s dance your nose
And then we’ll dance your sinus
 
MOO-AHHH!

4. He’s so gay


He’s so gay
He’s so gay
He’s very, very gay
Yeah
He’s so gay
He’s so gay
And he likes to be that way
With his keys on the right
He’s into rubber every night
 
He’s so gay
Oh oh oh
He’s almost everyone today
He’s OK
He’s OK
He’s got a role he wants to play
 
He’s OK
He’s OK
He’s just a cowboy for a day
Of course, his evening’s not complete
Without some meat in the seat
Let’s skate away
Down Santa Monica today
Well well well
 
Maybe he wants a little spanking
Maybe he’ll eat a little chain
Maybe his lover should be thanking him
For the way he makes it sprinkle
Into drops of golden rain
UHH-OHH
 
He’s so gay
He’s so gay
He rules the city in a way
You could say
You could say
It’s sorta different today
All the taffeta and chintz
And every Leather Boy’s a prince
Hey hey hey!
Please don’t look the other way
 
You could be just like him tomorrow!
Mah-mah-mah-mah-mah-mah
Maybe you’ll get a chance to borrow
Borrow
His bouquet
And maybe later…
Maybe later…
We’ll all be gay-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y!
 

DO YOU REALLY WANNA HURT ME?


5. Cock-suckers’ ball


Cock-sucker Sammy, get your motherfuckin’ mammy
We’re goin’ downtown to the Cock-Suckers’ Ball
Fuck, suck an’ fight
Till beginnin’ of the broad daylight
 
We don’t need no goddamn taxi fare
We’re gonna trim them whores in a rockin’-chair
Take off all the rags
We’re gonna play a little game called “Tag”
Tomorrow night at the rotten Cock-Suckers’ Ball
 
Come on you po’-ass singers and you big-dick slingers
We’re goin’ downtown to the Cock-Suckers’ Ball
Fuck, suck an’ fight
Till beginnin’ of the broad daylight
 
We don’t need no goddamn taxi fare
We’re gonna trim them whores in a rockin’-chair
Take off all the rags
We’re gonna play a little game called “Tag”
Tomorrow night at the rotten Cock-Suckers’ Ball
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tomorrow night at the rotten Cock-Suckers’ Ball!

6. WPLJ


[…] won’t you take a drink with me?
WPLJ really taste good to me
Well, it’s a good, good wine
It really makes you feel so fine
So fine, so fine, so fine
 
I went to the store, when they opened up the door
I said: “Please, please, please, gimme some more”
White Port and Lemon Juice
White Port and Lemon Juice
White Port and Lemon Juice
Ooh, what it do to you, to you, to you!
 
You take the bottle, you take the can
Shake it up fine, you get a good, good wine

7. What’s new in Baltimore?


Thank you!
 
Hey! What’s new in Baltimore?
I don’t know
Hey! What’s new in Baltimore?
Better go back and find out
Hey! What’s new in Baltimore?
What’s new in Baltimore?
 
[Instrumental]
 
Hey! What’s new in Baltimore?
I still don’t know
Hey! What’s new in Baltimore?
Better go back and find out again!
Hey! What’s new in Baltimore?
What’s new in Baltimore?
What’s new in Baltimore?
What’s new in Baltimore?
I just don’t know!

8. Hot-plate heaven at the Green Hotel


Wow
Bow wow
Bow wow
Bow wow
 
I used to have a job an’ I was doin’ fairly well
Depression came along an’ everybody start to yell:
“Where’d they go, them good ol’ days an’ all that crap we used to sell?”
Now I’m in Hot-Plate Heaven at the Green Hotel
 
Republicans is fine if you’re a multi-millionaire
Democrats is fair if all you own is what you wear
Neither of ‘em’s really right ‘cause neither of ‘em care
‘Bout that Hot-Plate Heaven ‘cause they ain’t been there
 
They really oughta go an’ find out how the hallway smell
They’d benefit to know ‘bout what the bums in there could tell
(I guess we’re only dreamin’ but I s’pose it’s just as well
That’s all you get to dream up in the Green Hotel)
 
[Instrumental]

9. Carol, you fool


Thank you!
 
You was a fool
Carol, you fool
You was a fool
Carol, you fool
 
Carol, you fool, don’t you know you’re crazy
He won’t be true but your mind’s a little hazy
He’ll break your heart, don’t let it start
But if you think it’s better go ahead and buy ‘m a sweater
 
Carol, you fool, you think you’ve got it so bad
Tryin’ to steal some money just to get some more of what you had
He’s gone away, hey, what can you say?
No, he won’t come back so put away your blackjack
 
You wanna try
You wanna try
To rob some Mexican guy
To rob a Mexican guy
Beat him on the head
Oh, you beat him on his head
Maybe make him dead
You just might make him dead
Just so you can fly
Just so you can fly
From Pittsburgh out to see him
You said you really gotta see him

Carol, you’re a foolish fool
Carol, oh-oh, girl!
You don’t really need him
 
Carol
Carol
Carol
Carol
Fool
Fool
Fool
Carol, you fool
 
You wanna try
You wanna try
You wanna try to rob some Mexican guy
To rob some Mexican guy
To rob a Mexican guy
Beat him on his head
Beat him on the head
Maybe make him dead
Maybe make him dead
You just might make him dead
Just so you can fly
You wanna fly to him
From Pittsburgh out to see him
Oh, you know, you wanna see him
Carol, you’re a foolish fool
You don’t really need him
 
Carol, you fool, I think you better try again
Carol, you fool, don’t wanna see you cry again
He’s gone away, what can you say?
Carol, you fool, you’ll meet another engineer
 
You was a fool
You’ll meet another engineer someday
Carol, you fool
Yes, you will
And […] another Mexican on the head
Yes, you will
Carol, you fool
You was a fool
No!
Oh, Carol, you…
Carol, you fool
Carol, you foolish, foolish fool
You was a fool
Oh, Carol, you fool
Carol, you fool
YOU!

Well
She live in a tree
They call her Chana in de bushwop

They call her Chana in de bushwop
She smack for three
She’s a Chana in de bushwop
Aw, she’s a mystery
She’s a Chana in de bushwop
 
They call her Chana in de bushwop

[Instrumental]
 
She went to France
Like a Chana in de bushwop
And she tried to dance
Like a Chana in de bushwop
Raised a big fuss
Like a Chana in de bushwop
In the back of the bus
Like a Chana in de bushwop
 
One of those dudes with a long loaf of bread
Made a big mistake
When he turned and said:
“Chana from zi bouchoipe
Wee-wee!
Chana from zi bouchoipe”
Hon hon hon!
 
She banged his head
Like a Chana in de bushwop
With a loaf of bread
Like a Chana in de bushwop
Had this sucker weepin’
Like a Chana in de bushwop
‘Bout that bread he’s keepin’
Like a Chana in de bushwop
He stood there weepin’ on the crumbs
She said:
“I got news for all you bums, I’m Chana from de bushwop”
Who cares?
Chana from de bushwop
 
Chana, Chana, Chana, Chana
From de bushwop
Chana, Chana, Chana, Chana
From de bushwop
Chana, Chana, Chana, Chana
From de bushwop
Chana, Chana, Chana, Chana
From de bushwop
 
Chana from de bushwop
From de bushwop
Chana from de bushwop
From de bushwop
Where she go?
I don’t know!
I thought she went to West Point!

15. Dancin’ fool


[FZ] Hi, hi, hiya. Thank you, and remember I’m reading this […] camera here. Thank you. It is also on my responsibility bein’ selected out of millions of people to become the banner of NBC’s new look. God, I hope I’m good! Tonight we’d like to do a song about an important social problem: disco. It deals with lonely people with no natural rhythm in pinging on each other in the darkness; it’s called “Dancin’ fool”.
One, two, three, four
 
I don’t know much about dancin’, that’s why I got this song

One of my legs is shorter than the other an’ both my feet’s too long
‘Course now right along with ‘em, I got no natural rhythm
But I go dancin’ every night, hopin’ one day I might get it right
 
I’m a… dancin’ fool
Dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
Dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
 
I hear that beat, I jump outta my seat, but I can’t compete
‘Cause I’m a… dancin’ fool
Dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
 
The disco folks all dressed up like they’s fit to kill
I walk on in an’ see ‘em there gonna give them all a thrill
When they see me comin’ they all steps aside
They has a fit while I commit my social suicide
 
I’m a… dancin’ fool
Dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
Dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
 
The beat goes on an’ I’m so wrong
The beat goes on an’ I’m so wrong
 
The beat goes on an’ I’m so wrong
The beat goes on an’ I’m so wrong
The beat goes on an’ I’m so wrong
The beat goes on an’ I’m so wrong
 
I may be totally wrong but I’m a… dancin’ fool
I may be totally wrong but I’m a… dancin’ fool
 
I got it all together now with my very own disco clothes, hey!
My shirt’s half open, to show you my chain an’ the spoon for up my nose
“I am really somethin’”, that’s what you’d probably say
So smoke your little smoke, drink your little drink, while I dance all night away
 
I’m a… dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
I’m a… dancin’ fool
He’s a… dancin’ fool
 
I may be totally wrong but I’m a…
I may be totally wrong but I’m a…
I may be totally wrong but I’m a…
I may be totally wrong but I’m a FOOL-UH!
 
Say, darlin’… can I buy you a drink?
Ki-ni-shinai!
Are you lookin’ for Mister Goodbar?
Wait a minute… I’ve got it… you’re an Italian!
Ki-ni-shinai!
You’re Jewish?
Love your nails…
You must be a Libra…
Ki-ni-shinai!
Your place or mine?

16. The meek shall inherit nothing


Some take the bible for what it’s worth
When it says that the meek shall inherit the Earth
Well, I heard that some sheik has bought New Jersey last week
An’ you, suckers, ain’t gettin’ nothin’
 
Is Hare Rama really wrong
If you wander around with a napkin on
With a bell on a stick an’ your hair is all gone?
The geek shall inherit nothin’
 
You say yer life’s a bum deal an’ you’re up against the wall…
People, you ain’t even got no kinda deal at all
‘Cause what they do in Washington
They just takes care of NUMBER ONE an’ NUMBER ONE ain’t YOU
(Not any way!)
You ain’t even NUMBER TWO
 
Those Jesus Freaks, well, they’re friendly but
The stuff they believe has got their minds all shut
An’ they don’t even care when the church takes a cut
Ain’t it bleak when you got so much nothin’?
So whaddya do?
 
Eat that pork, eat that ham
Laugh till you choke on Billy Graham
Moses, Aaron an’ Abraham
They’re all a waste of time
An’ it’s your butt that’s on the line
IT’S YOUR BUTT THAT’S ON THE LINE
 
Do what you wanna, do what you will
Just don’t mess up your neighbor’s thrill
An’ when you pay the bill kindly leave a little tip
And help the next poor sucker on his one-way trip…
 
SOME TAKE THE BIBLE…
 
(Aw, gimme a half a dozen for the hotel room!)
