Big Rock Candy Mountain

One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fire was burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The wind don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
<<kazoo solo>>
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railroad bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey, too
You can paddle all around 'em
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The jails are made of tin
And you can walk right out again,
As soon as you are in
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws or picks,
I'ma goin' to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the Turk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
I'll see you all this coming Fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains"

Monster Mash
03:36
|

I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash, he did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash
He did the mash, he did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the mash, they did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They did the mash, it caught on in a flash
They did the mash, they did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun, the party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman, Dracula, and his son
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'
They played the mash, they played the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They played the mash, it caught on in a flash
They played the mash, they played the monster mash
Out from his coffin', Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
The monster mash, it was graveyard smash
It's now the mash, it caught on in a flash
It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash

I Turned into a Martian
01:47
|

Possession of the mind is a terrible thing
It's a transformation with an urge to kill
Not the body of a man from earth
Not the face of the one you love, 'cause
Well, I turned into a Martian
Whoa oh oh
I can't even recall my name
Whoa oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night
Whoa oh oh
Well, I turned into a Martian today
I walk down city streets
On an unsuspecting human world
Inhuman in your midst
This world is mine to own, 'cause
Well, I turned into a Martian
Whoa oh oh
Well, I can't even recall my name
Whoa oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night
Whoa oh oh
Well, I turned into a Martian today
Go go
Well, I turned into a Martian
Whoa oh oh
Well, I can't even recall my name
Whoa oh oh
Times I never hardly sleep at night
Whoa oh oh
Turned into a martian
Whoa oh oh
Can't even recall my name
Oh, won't you tell me what the fuck is my name, Martian
Whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh

When the moon arises on the western sky
and the vampires are out on the sly
at times they have trouble finding necks to bite
that's why I cook up in my roon tonight...
My riboflavin flavored, non-carbonated, polyunsaturated blood
(her riboflavin flavored, non-carbonated, polyunsaturated blood)
Drac came to me one night at 12
and said the blood bank had no blood on the shelf
I exclaimed 'don't fret!' i'll give you on fix
of my newly regenerated mix
I gave him riboflavin flavored, non-carbonated, polyunsaturated blood
-she gave him riboflavin flavored, non-carbonated, polyunsaturated
blood-
It gives you quick relief you see
from fang aches and corpusle deficiency
Natter! consuming my laboratory brew
will make a new vampire out of you
It's that quality unleaded, only one calorie, polyunsaturated blood
that riboflavin flavored, non-carbonated, polyunsaturated blood
Drac enjoyed my brew without a hitch
now he's one of those that would rather fight than switch
if you're biting mre necks enjoying it less
try my new non-carbonated best
My riboflavin flavored, non-carbonated, polyunsaturated blood
-her riboflavin flavored, non-carbonated, polyunsaturated blood-

Minus 4, minus 3, minus 2, minus 1, blast off
When you hear the missile whistle
You gotta roll and rock
When you hear the missile whistle
You gotta roll and rock
Come on baby, everyone doing the A-bomb bop
Well you gotta feel that beat
Oh, man, it sure is neat
It's got me tappin' my feet
All up and down the street
That's the stuff I eat
That wonderful A-bomb beat
When you hear the missile whistle
You gotta roll and rock
Oh, baby, when you hear the missile whistle
You gotta roll and rock
Come on baby, everyone doing the A-bomb bop
When you hear the missile whistle
You gotta roll and rock
When you hear the missile whistle
You gotta roll and rock
Come on baby, everyone doing the A-bomb bop
*****
If you don't know "Oh! Susanna!," you were cheated when you were six.
