Can't get my motor to
start Can't get my motor to start Can't get my motor to start Can't get
my motor to start Can't you get it to go? Is your battery low? No, I don't
think so
Try pullin out on the choke Try lookin' under the hood
Try pullin out on the choke Try lookin' under the hood Lookin under
the hood Never did any good The choke must be broke
Try beatin'
down with your feet looks like she's startin' to crank Let's take the gasoline
out Try puttin' beer in the tank Bring the beer over here 'Cause I need it
to steer
Try pullin out all the wires Try stuffin' cheese in the cracks
Try dynamitin' the tank Smash all the glass with an ax Do you have any
grease? Pour it over the seats
What did you do to my car? What
did you do to my car? What did you do to my car? What did you do to my
car? Well we took it apart But we can't make it start
We wanna go
for a ride Let's push it over the hill We wanna go for a ride Let's push it
over the hill Better not get inside 'Cause she's startin' to slide
I Was Wrong
Well I used to think this talk of spaceships Was
just so much hype I really believed there was nothing out there Except the
Stars and the Stripes I mean the scientists said they found out that There
was nothing there on Mars So as far as I was concerned it was just The
name of a candy bar
I'm one of those kind of people Who need proof
before they believe Close Encounters left me cold And Star Trek seemed
naive When it came to UFO's I was of the scientific school Little green
men with pointed heads Were for little kids and fools
But I was wrong
I was wrong I was real wrong I was wrong All along I was so
wrong
The people who believed that stuff Were always kind of odd
I mean you might as well go all the way And believe in Jesus and God I
knew I had the kind of mind That wasn't easily satisfied And besides I had
enough problems on earth To keep me occupied
And then one night I
was standing Looking at the stars And I heard something that sounded like
A hundred space guitars The music was so weird it could have been the
theme from Jaws Then I saw something flying over my head I thought it
was Santa Claus
But I was wrong I was wrong I was real wrong
I was wrong All along I was so wrong
Siam
Here's another song about a place near Hong Kong They got lots of
opium and Lapsang Southong Siam, Siam
All the fancy pussycats
come from this area Also got a lot of animals that scare ya Siam, Siam
Python legs are poached in slimy toad saliva After eating that I'm lucky
I'm aliva I am, yes I am
Ask the King if you can stay to sample cuisine
Maybe he will even let you dine with the Queen Siam, Siam
Nicest little place i live in since Budapest If you think that I'm in love,
you're right, I confess I am, I am, yes I am, with Siam I am, I am, yes I
am, with Siam
Hot River
Do you long to cavort?
Here's a new water sport That you ought to try It's a Fahrenheit dream
Hot and covered with steam You won't be bored Do you want to get
wet? Are you starting to sweat? Slip over the side Now we're caught in
a swell Here's where Heaven and Hell Start to collide
It's slippery
and slimy Reach over here and tie me I'm so warm I can hardly move
Mother never told me I'd need someone to hold me But where I'm from
the rivers are all cold
It's a fisherman's dream Dinner's already steamed
And ready to eat When you feel your resolve Is about to dissolve
Then stop for a treat In a river of steam Nothing seems too obscene
So let down your hair While you drift through a trough Slip your
bathing suit off And really get clean
You can do your laundry
While your thoughts are wandering And you watch the passing swimmer's
poach You don't need no Sterno In Dante's Inferno It's
thermohydriatically controlled
You can't stay in too long 'Cause the
heat is too strong You're starting to slide Grab ahold of the rope Throw
your soap in the boat Climb over the side We can come back for more
When we start to get bored There's nothing as wild As a Hot River
swim On the volcanic rim
Boo To You Too
Just when we was startin' to play Someone yelled out take 'em away
Then we heard 'em startin' to boo What did you do? What did you do? I
reacted intelligently Here's my method, try it and see When somebody's
runnin' you down You got to turn it around, turn it around
So when
they boo at me you know what I do? I tell 'em boo to you too, boo to you too
Boo to you too, boo to you too
I don't take it personally When
somebody's booin' at me Makes no difference if the music is fine I never
pay it no mind, pay it no mind When you're tryin' something that's new
You'll have people booin' at you When we hear 'em startin' to boo What
do we do? What do we do?
Well when they boo at us you know what we
do? We tell 'em boo to you too, boo to you too Boo to you too, boo to you
too
Keep your chin up, play what you feel Music's always grand if it's
real Even if they're cruel to you You got to do what you do, do what you do
When they're ready to tear you apart Use your noodle and try to be smart
Don't just stand there takin' abuse You got to put it to use, put it to use
You make 'em boo on cue, they say boo And you say boo to you too
Boo to you too, boo to you too
You make 'em boo on cue, they say boo
And you say boo to you too Boo to you too, boo to you too
Boo to
you too, boo to you too Boo to you too, boo to you too
Do Ya?

what I mean, do ya? You don't know what I mean
God knows I try

I'm A Mineralist
Here's a shocking revelation for you voyeurs Such a
heinous deviation, these are no clues I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist
Just the thought of ironing gives me spasms of lust I creep up to old
wrecked cars and lick off the rust I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist
Mother used to try to metal in my affairs Keep your nose up off that
grindstone, people will stare Get the lead out of your pants and change
your underwear
I've been stealing baby bottles since I was born I'll
go blind from balling bearings, doctors have warned I like making out with
steel-rimmed glasses more than horned
Erik Satie gets my rocks off,
Cage is a dream Phillip Glass is a Mineralist to the extreme
I like
tickling ivories and fingering stones When my mercury goes up I play with my
bone
Peole take for granite my perversion is wrong I'm not harming
anyone by beating my gong I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist
I'll make
love to minerals as long as I can And in fifty years I'll be a jaded old man
I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist I'm a Mineralist, I'm a Mineralist
