Out with my true love on a holiday She took to pass The time away Under an umbrella, we pass the day Like two robins under the cable One for tomorrow, dedicated to you One for another and that may do Well after we cried We thought we had died We both fell to pieces We both fell to pieces We both fell to pieces Out in the pasture I lost my shoe You dropped your bonnet Your petticoat too Got caught in the rain But we did not care So and on so and on so and on One for tomorrow, dedicated to you One for another and that may do Well after we cried We thought we had died We both fell to pieces We both fell to pieces We both fell to pieces Out with my true love on a holiday She took to pass The time away Under an umbrella, we pass the day Like two robins under the cable One for tomorrow, dedicated to you One for another and that may do Well after we cried We thought we had died We both fell to pieces We both fell to pieces We both fell to pieces
Ev'ry dog will have its day Thats what people used to say Nowadays thats not the case Cuz theres a fat cat runs the place *While the cats away the rats will surely go down Listen up cuz im tellin you the low down What does it matter if hes getting fatter What does it matter if fat cat keeps getting fatter(End Chorus) Fat cat keeps getting fatter He comes in most ev'ry night Wakes me up before daylight All around that house of mine Its pit pat pit pat pit pat all the time *Repeat
This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track This is the story of the trou macacq, the pine box derby, the monkey track Not what I heard or saw on TV, But what I witnessed entirely Each bend in the road was infact another curve on the monkey track Once upon a time we thought we were free And had control over destiny We saw ourselves a competent band Able to reason, prosper and plan But we had a chamber in the moon Circumstance made us change our tune When the veil was torn from our face We became the monkeys riding the race MONKEY! You think you got the stuff it takes to break away! Boy youll be on the track every day Talent, vigor,drive Youll eat peanut butter the rest of your life And these last things you can arrange Find other people equally strange Stuff yourselves in the van and ride the pine box derby to the finish line I said: Chris P. rides on a serious plan Hes going to finish as fast as he can The Escalator takes it personally And does not drive professionally Charming Enchantress and Bones can run Even if the winshield wipers are on I the Broadcaster avoid police But the Bat was led into custody
My drag Its a weight on my back Im lost in a stack without my drag My blues Alone and confused Im spreading the news about my drag I could go right along singing songs of love That happiness brings If I stop for a while I could smile and be glad But that crazy feeling back bad My drag Its a hound on my track I just fell through the cracks into my drag
I was walking down the street A stranger said to me Be careful what you do Then when waiting for a train I heard a strange refrain Id watch out if I were you, boy Is something going to happen soon Somethings going to happen soon I have a phone that dosent ring A line that dosent sting I have a dream where snowflakes fall inside a painted hall But that dont pay the rent If you draw a bow draw the strongest Yes, and if you use an arrow use the longest Altough I dont spook easily It has occured to me Transformation is in the air Are the heavens conspiring to show me this new thing Or has it always been there
We meet at Lafittes each night as twilight sleeps A kind of reverie A kind of sleepy feeling is creeping over me Thats the place for dancing and romancing Thats the place where you and me could go if we were lovers stealing An evening at Lafittes When we meet at Lafittes each night as twilight creeps A kind of reverie A kind of sleepy feeling is creeping over me Thats the place for dancing and romancing Thats the place where you and me could go if we were lovers stealing An evening at Lafittes
When you do that little thing That fascinating thing I get so fascinated with you baby My knees get weak Every time you speak my name The way you treat me mama means everything Come on and do that thing That fascinating thing!
All the birds up in the trees have got a different song to sing And as birds learned now they've learned that swing They've been Pallin' with Al (me too) Down below at the candy shop, theyre still workin at that same old chore But the stuff heres sweeter than it was before You know why people, Pallin with Al Who's that man who's got that sentemental swing Plays that mess just like it doesn't mean a thing Gather round you all and watch him Watch him pluck those strings People, when he gets that right hand pumpin' All those kiddies got to start buck jumpin' Listen now and dont forget If you go for that solid jive You can always keep the dream alive Be bop a doo bop a bee ba doo way
There's a flu bug getting passed around and it's Spreading like fire through the town There's a virus holing up inside us Everyone that I know is coming down There's an Asian influenza Infecting us all by the score And it's turning into pneumonia We must go out once more There's a fool moon howling at the night And it's bark is much worse than it's bite So we must go out and dance around Yes we must go tonight So the doctors came on the evening train With their flasks and their caskets and vials Mass psychosis was their diagnosis (yes) So we all cashed our checks and went wild There's a fool moon howling at the night And it's bark is much worse than it's bite So we must go out and dance around Yes we must go tonight La Grippe!, Salsa!
I raise hell Every night with all my friends from town I drive in To their house, we put on our volley gowns And I raise hell Every day Way out here all alone No one knows those things I do Dancing on all of those Bones Sheep have all gone from the meadow The sheep have all gone from the forest Wasps are gone from the wallow Theres nothing left but the cold And I raise hell Every day Way out here all alone No one knows those things I do Dancing on all of those Bones I raise hell Every day Way out here all alone No one knows those things I do Dancing on all of those Bones

Down in the country where I was born, We'd go to church ev'ry Sunday mornin', Then in the evening the lights would fade, These are the words that my mama said:
"Children I hope you sleep tight, And don't let the bedbugs bite, If you should die before you wake, Pray good God your soul will take."
(Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.)
Preacher would tell us that the lord was good, All us little children should knock on wood, Preacher would tell us 'bout the angels and saints, Grandfather taught us 'bout the spooks and [inaudable], He said:
"(Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [no, no] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.)"
Then I'd pull the covers up over my head, Stop thinkin' 'bout the things underneath the bed, Thunder and the lightnin' begin to boom, Somebody's knockin', but nobody's home.
(Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [children] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya, [no, no] Don't let the bedbugs bite ya.)[x2]
