Mongoose - on fire
Oh no oh no
I turned on the sprinkler
But it didn't stop the glow
Mongoose fur scorches
The smell was so rank
But I used it to light
Some pot that was dank
I hope you're not alarmed
Even though the mongoose was harmed
The flames shot up to the sky
Sadly, the mongoose did die
The snakes were celebrating
This momentous victory
For them it was freedom
From the gardener's trickery
They were free to slither
Wherever they please
The death of the mongoose
Meant they could be free
I hope you're not alarmed
Even though the mongoose was harmed
The flames shot up to the sky
Sadly, the mongoose did die
The death of the mongoose was not in vain
Because it only felt some brief pain
But for the kingdom of snakes it was mirth
Flaming mongoose the symbol of rebirth
I hope you're not alarmed
Even though the mongoose was harmed
The flames shot up to the sky
Sadly, the mongoose did die
I hope you're not alarmed
Even though the mongoose was harmed
The flames shot up to the sky
Sadly, the mongoose did die

Holy Moly

Well I got bit when I pet my dog
Flat tire on the pickup truck
I drank the last of the whiskey
Cause I've been real down on luck
Wanted to buy a lotto ticket
But didn't even have a buck
So I ate the whole bag of doggie treats
Cause I just don't give a..... WELL
Tried to listen to talk radio
But my stereo was broke
I went to see a comedian
Turned out I was the joke
I got me some fries from Mickey D's
They made me damn near choke
And I'm clean out of cigarettes
So I can't even have a smoke
Holy moly, what's goin' on
I just can't figure it out
It feels like pandemonium
I just want to scream and shout
Guess I ran my mouth too many times
Like it was in a big 'ol race
And now the only thing I got
Is the frown on my stupid face
The buttons fell off all my shirts
There are holes all through my jeans
All that's left in my cupboards
Is two cans of sardines
Had to mow the grass
And ran over a nest of bees
Now I've got welts rising up
From my forehead to my knees
Holy moly, what's goin' on
I just can't figure it out
It feels like pandemonium
I just want to scream and shout
Guess I ran my mouth too many times
Like it was in a big 'ol race
And now the only thing I got
Is the frown on my stupid face
Knelt and prayed "Dear Jesus"
But he said I can't be saved
Things keep goin this way
Put me in an early grave
Cut my face on the razor
When I went to shave
And in the ocean at the beach
Got knocked down by a wave
Holy moly, what's goin' on
I just can't figure it out
It feels like pandemonium
I just want to scream and shout
Guess I ran my mouth too many times
Like it was in a big 'ol race
And now the only thing I got
Is the frown on my stupid face
Holy moly, what's goin' on
I just can't figure it out
It feels like pandemonium
I just want to scream and shout
Guess I ran my mouth too many times
Like it was in a big 'ol race
And now the only thing I got
Is the frown on my stupid face

Bossa Nova Button

I pushed the bossa nova button and this is what came out.
I pushed the bossa nova button and this is what came out.
You know that one sound that's on your keyboard.
You know that one sound that you never use.
I had to push it. I wanted to know why. I tried to reach the sky . . .
with bossa nova.
The bossa nova is fun, the bossa nova is great.
The bossa nova is fun, the bossa nova is great.
The bossa nova is fun, the bossa nova is great.
The bossa nova is fun, the bossa nova is great.
It's great.
I'm sayin' it's great.
If it weren't great, it would be not great.
I pushed the bossa nova button and this is what came out.
I pushed the bossa nova button and this is what came out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Talkin' 'bout the bossa nova.
The bossa nova, everyone -
I want to introduce every daughter and son
To the smooooooth sound of the bossa nova.
Of the bossa nova.
Listen to that bossa nova groove.
It moves and grooves right through your shoes.
And then you see that you can be
Deep in a sea . . . of glee
Because you have
a reason to choose
the freedom to win
or the audacity to lose
So then you go
When you're on the mic
You just think about
Rappin' it up, and then you
Know that ya got the right thing to do,
When ya see it though a bucket full of glue.
I pushed the bossa nova button and this is what came out.
I pushed the bossa nova button and this is what came out.
I pushed the bossa nova button and this is what came out.
I pushed the bossa nova button and this is what came out.
Give me a bowl of maraschino cherries
Give me a bowl of maraschino cherries
Give me a bowl of maraschino cherries
And I will eat them all!

Party Up, Party Down

Call it like a hotline
Fly it like an airline
Push it to the red line
Like you never did before
No time like the present
Neon and fluorescent
The beat is so incessant
Yet all you want is more
Heat it like a kettle
Pedal to the metal
Reach a higher level
Take it to the top
Life is what you make it
There's no time to waste it
You have got to face it
It's poppin we can't stop
Party up, party down
When you hear the sound
Let it move you all around
When the rhythm starts to pound
Party up, party down
The best you've ever found
It's coming to your town
You can feel it in the ground
Breaking, here's your newsflash
Spending all your loose cash
To catch this wave, a huge splash
Crashing on the scene
Come on board this starship
Get hip to this new flip
We have got the hot tip
Far beyond routine
Peek into this keyhole
And you can see the people
A long way past the steeples
That represent the past
We are on the upswing
Bearers of the new thing
Everyone can be the king
This cannot be surpassed
Party up, party down
When you hear the sound
Let it move you all around
When the rhythm starts to pound
Party up, party down
The best you've ever found
It's coming to your town
You can feel it in the ground
You can be a part of generation and creation
We will plant our flag and we can have a whole new nation
When you open up to being all you ever dreamed
Then the party's up, we'll party down like we are fiends
Party up, party down
When you hear the sound
Let it move you all around
When the rhythm starts to pound
Party up, party down
The best you've ever found
It's coming to your town
You can feel it in the ground
Party up, party down
When you hear the sound
Let it move you all around
When the rhythm starts to pound
Party up, party down
The best you've ever found
It's coming to your town
You can feel it in the ground

I'm not an alien
I'm not an alien
I'm not an alien
I'm not an alien
I am an extra terrestrial
And I live on a planet far away
I'm not an alien but another life form
That you do not know
You sit and you stare at me
As if you knew just what I was
Feed me Reece's Pieces, love me to death
But at the end of the day you will say
“I don't know what it is."

I'm not an alien
I'm not an alien
I'm not an alien
You cannot grasp it but I’m not of this world
I come from a billion miles from here
It’s been a fun time living with you
But I keep thinking it’s almost time to go
Been working hard to create a new phone
That I can call the place that I came from
And when they come I will get onto the ship
No time for goodbyes - it will be like I wasn’t here

When I call, will you answer for me?
Is there still a home for me to phone?
If I drift over to another galaxy
A corner of the universe all to myself
Can I return again?
