I Paid Too Much
01:34
|
|||
Well I heard that this was a real rare find
But now I think that I must have been out of my mind
I paid too much
That price feels like a joke
I paid too much
This was a stupid way to go broke
I paid too much for the record
That dealer just robbed me blind
No bonus tracks, no collector's pin
And I think that the singer's just phoning it in
I paid too much
I gave up too much cash
I paid too much
This is the most expensive thing in my trash
I paid too much for the record
Shoulda got it from the discount bin
Next time I think about making a purchase
I'll look back on this day and cry
Landlord's asking me to pay my rent
But my last paycheck it came and went
I paid too much
I don't even like the band
I paid too much
This was an expensive plan
I paid too much for the record
And my bank account took a dent
I paid too much
I'm a collector who just can't say no
I paid too much
Only ten more payments to go
I paid too much for the record
Now I can't afford to see the show
I paid too much for the record
It was too much money to blow
I paid too much for the record
And now I've got a fortune to owe

Two Left Feet
02:53
|

I’m fresh out of hope at the end of my rope
I asked a girl on a date and the girl said nope
I had my confidence blown, my home rezoned
My car repossessed and my chicken deboned
There was an alien spacecraft hovering high
I threw a rock and knocked it out of the sky
I got stuck with the bill for a hundred mill
I don’t know how to pay it but I guess I will
I need to stop doing things before I think them through
I need to put some planning into what I do
Look left right left, then cross the street
But I still get hit ‘cause I’ve got two left feet
My guardian angel’s taking a snooze
I don’t read the paper ‘cause it’s all bad news
I was named as plaintiff in a dozen cases
I bought new shoes then I tripped on the laces
Everybody’s staring at me
I stole a pen from the bank ‘cause I thought it was free
My life’s a state of total debasement
I don’t go to work because they found a replacement
I reached the bottom of the barrel
Full of hazardous waste and it made me sterile
I’ll never get ahead unless I start to cheat
But then I’ll still fall behind ‘cause I’ve got two left feet
I’ve had sticks I’ve had stones, they’re breakin’ my bones
I love company but I’m always alone
I broke my mother’s back with a sidewalk crack
I had a plan but now I’m way off track
My Polaroid pictures never come out
I’m at the mercy of the jury but they’re never in doubt
My tricks don’t work, my stalkers lurk
And all my co-workers well they think I’m a jerk
I need to stop and think about my life’s direction
I need some serious self reflection
Got to keep a low profile be real discreet
But it never seems to work ‘cause I’ve got two left feet

Third Times the Charm
02:24

Outfit number one, got spaghetti and meatballs on the arm
On the arm!
Outfit number two has a sweater in blue, but it's too warm
It's too warm!
I'm on outfit three, and that's a lot for me, but
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
It's hard to decide
It might be cold outside, but
Third time's the charm
These clothes are cute but they say there might be a storm
Storm!
I like this hat but he can't wear that because it's torn
Torn!
We've been through the closet but I think we've got it, because
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
It's hard to decide
It might be cold outside, but
Third time's the charm
These overalls look like our son is working on a farm
On a farm!
This outfit's pink, what will people think, but where's the harm?
Where's the harm!
No matter what the choice he's our pride and joy so
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
Third time's the charm!
It's hard to decide
It might be cold outside, but
Third time's the charm

Dozen Eggs
02:49
|
|||
Well I was driving with my folks down a country road
When suddenly we hit the motherlode
Just a few feet away on a rusty sign
It said Farm Fresh Eggs, Twelve for a Dime
Dozen eggs, dozen eggs
What a tasty treat
Dozen eggs, dozen eggs
And that price can’t be beat
Dozen eggs, dozen eggs
It’s a deal so fine
Farm fresh eggs, twelve for a dime
I checked my pockets for change so I could locate a dime
But ten shiny pennies was all I could find
My mom told me not to worry, everything would be fine
Because ten shiny pennies are as good as a dime
I count one, two, three
Pennies out of my hand
Then four, five, six
More to give to the man
Then seven, then eight
Then number nine
And one more penny makes as much as a dime
Well that was a sale that we couldn’t ignore
They were so much cheaper than the grocery store
I handed over ten cents then home we drove
To start making plans for the eggs and the stove
Now how will I use my dozen eggs?
Eggs 1 and 2
On my breakfast plate
Eggs 3, 4, 5
I plan to decorate
Egg 6
Boil it up for a tasty snack
Egg 7
Use the shell for arts and crafts
Eggs 8 and 9
Feed to the alligator
Eggs 10 and 11
Gonna save them for later
Egg 12
Will help me make a chocolate cake
And that’s how I used my dozen eggs
Dozen eggs, dozen eggs
What a tasty treat
Dozen eggs, dozen eggs
And that price can’t be beat
Dozen eggs, dozen eggs
It’s a deal so fine
Farm fresh eggs, twelve for a dime

B Store
02:12
|

Mom said get your coat we're gonna take a little drive to the B Store
I didn't know what to say 'cause that's a store I'd never heard about before
I said Mom this is scary for me
Don't want to pay to get stung by a bumblebee
Mom laughed and said son you've got a lot to learn about the B Store
I was still kinda scared when I walked up the stairs to the B Store
But my mom seemed fine so I pushed right through the front door
Then it was love at first sight for me
Everything there started with the letter B
And now I couldn't wait to spend a bucket of cash at the B Store
I got a pair of boys' boots in burgundy
Got a new basketball and some batteries
Bought a bunch of books so I'll never be bored
Bought new brake pads for my Honda Accord
Bean bag chair to make sitting a blast
A bicycle so I can ride real fast
I got board games galore and a baseball mitt
And baby that's only the half of it
Well at the end of the day you couldn't tear me away from the B Store
I bought the whole ball of wax but I want to come back because I need more
Mom said I'm glad you had a ball
But this is not the only store in the shopping mall
Maybe next time we'll head next door and go shopping at the C Store

Josephine
You're probably gonna be the cutest little girl your folks have ever seen
Josephine
And even if you grow into a sullen and sarcastic at risk teen
You'll always be your parents' princess til you grow up to be a queen
Josephine
Josephine
I know there's very little chance that Josephine will come to be your name
But I have to call you something so I guess I'll go with Josephine just the same
I learned about your gender at a party where we got to play a game
I'm glad I came
You know what I mean
Josephine
Then
Your folks will be an embarrasment
You'll want to keep them a secret
Their stupid band in the basement
Josephine
When you grow up you might replace your father in the band
You'll have to because when he's old he'll fight a robot shark and lose his hand
And when we play this song you'll realize that it was all part of the plan
You're not just a fan
You're on the team
Josephine
Josephine
I can't wait to meet you Josephine

Why You Gotta Be a Baby
01:59

Why you gotta be a baby
Why you actin so small
Well I'm walkin and a talkin
But you're still learnin to crawl
I ask you baby if you're hungry
And you cry, you just cry
You never answer my questions
And I don't know why
Why you gotta be a baby
Why you actin so small
Well I'm walkin and a talkin
But you're still learnin to crawl
Baby I think you're getting tired
You're closing your eyes, your eyes
You don't listen when I'm talking
You don't even try
Why you gotta be a baby
Why you actin so small
Well I'm walkin and a talkin
But you're still learnin to crawl
Maybe one day you're gonna grow up
You'll get past your awkward stage
And then you'll stop being a baby
And start acting your age
Why you gotta be a baby
Why you actin so small
Well I'm walkin and a talkin
But you're still learnin to crawl

Find the Hidden Mic

Find the hidden mic
Is it on the credenza?
Or in the baby’s crib?
Does it come with a camera?
How do they know where I live?
Find the hidden mic
It’s a violation of my civil liberties
Find the hidden mic
Why are they listening?
What do they hope to gain?
Will they send an official letter?
Will they ever explain?
Find the hidden mic
They say it’s for my own protection
Find the hidden mic
Well I’ve got some things I want to keep private
Secrets dark and deep
It’s not like I’m doing something illegal
I just don’t want folks to know I’m a creep
This is driving me crazy
I’m tearing up the walls
Looking for their mini transponder
They’ve got me by the balls
Find the hidden mic
Say goodbye to personal privacy
Find the hidden mic

This town it stinks like hell
Doesn't smell like a town is supposed to smell
Is there somebody to tell?
Everyone's wearing masks upon their face
They're packing up and trying to leave the place
They think it's toxic waste
I could buy a house here just like that
Credit extended and a welcome mat
It's right next door to the sulfur plant
This town it smells so bad inside
I want to run and hide
It's like somebody died
This town it smells like rotten eggs
It isn't very good
But it's my neighborhood
I keep the windows closed
It's either that or I'd have to shut my nose
That's just how it goes
The realtor laughed when he cashed my check
It's like he knew that my life had just gone to heck
And that I'd never get to use my backyard deck
I tried to back out but I can't
There's no one left to listen to my rant
There's just my house and the sulfur plant
This town I cannot stand the stink
It's driving me to drink
It's from next door I think

Consider Me Gone
02:29
|

How can I be friends with you when you won't be friends with me
How can I talk to you when you won't say nothin' to me
How can I visit you when you never come visit me
How can I play with you when you won't never play with me
I miss you still
I always will
I like to think it's not done
But you can consider me gone
It's been a long time comin' now we saw the signs long before
You are my greatest casualty in this stupid senseless war
Yes, I wish things were different than they seem to be
But I'm so tired of defending myself when everyone else picks on me
I miss you still
I always will
I like to think it's not done
But you can consider me gone
You can consider me gone
