Uh-huh. Malory? Ok. Joe? I don't know. Well, great... Let's GOOO!!! Hee and a hoe And I love my baby so In the bottom of the bottomless pit Don't make a sound Or we might drag your baby down To the bottom of the bottomless pit I'm covered with slime and ick and goo But that's ok 'cause my woman is too And we live in the stench of a dirt-walled hole And we don't give a damn about pest control It's a hee and a hoe And I love my baby so In the bottom of the bottomless pit Don't make a sound Or we might drag your baby down To the bottom of the bottomless pit Call us nauseating if that's what you please Or call us Ron and Nancy 'cause it's all the same disease This kind of thing happens in the best of homes This king of thing happens wherever I roam It's a hee and a hoe And I love my baby so In the bottom of the bottomless pit Don't make a sound Or we might drag your baby down To the bottom of the bottomless pit I wanna hear you shout the words to this song So lets all join in and we'll all sing along And maybe scare your neighbors or your mom and dad Or maybe get rich off some brand new fad! It's a hee and a hoe And I love my baby so In the bottom of the bottomless pit Don't make a sound Or we might drag your baby down To the bottom of the bottomless pit ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: Take Me to the Specialist I like to scream I like to yell They say I'm sick And I need help The specialist won't hurt me He's not like the nuns He's got a lot of pretty pills I think I'll take some yellow ones Take me to the specialist I know that I'm crazy I know that I'm nuts But atleast I admit it And I think that takes some guts The specialist doesn't care what the voices say He's got a lot of pretty pills to make the voices go away Take me to the specialist Mr. Huberty Yes God? You wouldn't happen to have any power tools? And if I'm hopeless Well, that's the breaks The cookie crumbles The loony shakes The specialist can see it From my point of view He understands me 'Cause he hears voices too Take me to the specialist Take me to the specialist Take me to the specialist Take me to the specialist I hear weasels! I hear weasels! I hear weasels! I hear weasels! I hear weasels! I hear weasels! I hear weasels! I hear weasels! I hear weasels! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: I am the Walrus Hey you kids! Cut that crap out! Hey come back here! I know who your parents are! You wouldn't do this if Nixon was in the white house! Come on! I'm the walrus, dammit! A young Watoosi watches 'I Love Lucy' And I think 'what can this mean?' A goat goes to school And makes us look like fools And I think 'what can this mean?' They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! Sold my niece to Edwin Meese And I wonder what life's about We talked of tires While your dog caught fire And I wonder what life's about They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! YEAH! SOMETIMES I'M LYING IN BED And I wonder what would happen if Nancy Sinatra suddenly freaked out drives and drinks and decides she doesn't want to sing 'These Boots are Made for Walking' any more and all she ever wanted to do for the rest of her natural life was hum the theme from S.W.A.T. They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! Poke out your eyes And move to Portland Kill your wife And move to Portland Burn down your home And move to Portland Come on everybody! We're movin' to Portland They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! They call me the walrus! Yeah I am the walrus! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: Watching Scotty Die I've got a kid His name is Scott He's going blind And his blood just will not clot The doctors line in rows To stick tubes up Scotty's nose There is a field Where Scotty used to play Until Ortho Orange Number 42 Was dumped in it one day I think it's so funny I laugh until I cry Just me and God Watching Scotty die Just me and God Watching Scotty die Chemical plants across the street Leaves off steam that colors our white sheets It's been happening for years Now I'm crying rainbow tears One day our dog went out to play Instead of gray he came back colored yellow The chemical men said stay mellow It happens all the time Now Scotty's skin is lime I think it's so funny I laugh until I cry Just me and God Watching Scotty die Just me and God Watching Scotty die ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: Going to Graceland Going to Graceland We're going today! I'm so happy I just can't wait! Gonna see the place where Elvis Presley died When we get to Graceland We'll have to ride a bus We'd better watch our language Or the guards'll beat us up We'll get to make some cheap jokes And buy cheaper souvenirs If this were Disneyland I'd buy a pair of Elvis ears They say it costs eight-fifty Just to see his house Where they keep all his records And his fifteen foot long couch It might seem like a rip-off But I'm going anyway We're going to Graceland today Going to Graceland It's gonna be great! I'm so happy I just can't wait! Gonna see the bucket that Elvis Presley kicked Going to Graceland Gonna be fun We'll get to see all of Elvis's guns Gonna tell us all about his favorite TV shows Going to Graceland We'll stand in line We'll get to have a wild time Gonna get to buy Love Me Tender Shampoo When my time comes That's how I wanna go - Stoned and fat and wealthy And sitting on the bowl Lots of people say That it's sad The King is gone Well Elvis might be dead But his cash flow lives on I'll be so excited When I see the Jungle Room Where Elvis made some records Including Moody Blue Graceland is calling me I just can't stay away We're going to Graceland today Going to Graceland We're gonna cut lose There's plenty of tourists for us to goose We're gonna act real stupid and try to pick up girls Going to Graceland We're gonna go wild Gonna go to his grave and try to smile Gonna buy velvet painings and Elvis Presley forks Going to Graceland We're going to Graceland We're going to Graceland We're going to Graceland Going to Graceland We're going to Hell We're gonna sing Heartbreak Hotel Gonna see the uniform that Elvis Presley wore What are we waiting for?

But when they're close to dying You can hear them sing Jellyfish heaven Is not like Japan Jellyfish heaven Is not like Thailand Jellyfish heaven Is a lot Like LA Sweet jellyfish! Sweet jellyfish! I'm dazed and confused For so long it's not true Wanted a jellyfish Never bargained for you Lot's of people talking Few of them know Soul of a jellyfish Was created below! Papa don't preach! I'm gonna keep my jellyfish! I been tied to the jellyfish Tied to the jellyfish Tied to the jellyfish Oh Lord, I feel like I'm dying.... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- All lyrics trasncribed or heavily edited by Glenn K! c 5 1 0 2 9 2 @ c c l a b s . m i s s o u r i . e d u Keeper o' the Dead Milkmen Home Page http://www.cclabs.missouri.edu/~c510292/dead.milkmen/
