LITTLE BASTARD

Little Bastard
All fish belly white
Wears gym trunks
And a tank top shirt

When his Grandma
Sees him playing with a knife
She says, "Put that down,
You’re gonna get hurt."

And she calls him Little Bastard
And she says it to his face
And he says, "Don’t call me Little Bastard,
Call me Snake."

Little Bastard 
Has a re-occurring dream
That he’s a pirate 
On a sea of snakes

And when the waves come
You can listen to him scream
As the tide runs
Down his leg

BANLON SHIRT

Mitchell said, "Randy, you’re gonna get hurt,
I’m gonna strangle you with this Banlon shirt."
Randy said, "Mitchell, you just better not.
There’ll be hell to pay if you get caught."

Mitchell said, "Randy, you’re gonna get hurt,
I’m gonna strangle you with this Banlon shirt."
Randy said, "Mitchell, you better take care.
If you do I’m gonna pull out a hank of your hair."

RING A DING DING I'M ROTTEN INSIDE

Barber cut my hair, cut it to the quick
Hippies hanging around, the bastards make me sick
Oh yeah, the bastards make me sick
So please, cut it to the quick

Monkey in a cage, the barber loves him so
So he lets him out, he lets the monkey go
Oh no, he lets the monkey go
Because, because he loves him so

Sitting in a barber shop, monkey on my knee
Shit on my good corduroys, gonna kill that monkey
Yessirree, kill that monkey dead
I'm gonna smash that fucker's head

Barber cut my hair, cut it to the quick
Hippies hanging around, you know they make me sick
Oh yeah, you know they make me sick
So please, cut it to the quick
Because the barber loves him so
He's gonna let that monkey go

YOU, MY FLOWER
(Written by Greg Dulli, published by Koli Nichta Music ASCAP.)

so what you make me hard
if i was harder now i would crack into a million things
things i didn't really need
but how i wanted so
what a nice dream
didn't want to wake up
so i kept it dark all the time
dark enough so not to see
but not as dark as the plans that you have for me
so what you made me smile
i had smiled at lesser things before i ever thought of you
before i thought my soul was mine
now i think about me only when i can find the time
flowers all around
put your lover in the ground
flowers everywhere yeah yeah yeah
nowhere you can be found
i have put you in the ground
nowhere is everywhere
for you my flower
better get myself a drink
better get a couple so i can look you straight in the face
tell you that i think of you
almost as much as you think of you

DEATH CAR $25

Whatever happened man, it's really hard to tell
they got out the body but they can't get out the smell
out of the death car for twenty-five dollars

I don't know what happened, man, 'coz I was just a kid
I didn't see it but my uncle did
he saw the death car for twenty-five dollars

I got the twenty, man, if you got the five, 
I'll drive
We'll drive the death car for twenty-five dollars

John told Kevin and Kevin told Pam
and Pam told Larry and Larry told Sam
Sam told Bela and Bela told Paul
and Paul told Cheryl and Cheryl told them all
About the death car for twenty-five dollars
