1. To defy the laws of tradition
What if Christmas didn't come this year
And no one paid for Christmas cheer?
Who would cry the biggest tear,
The child or the store?

Why do brides wear virgin white?
Most do not deserve that right
But to choose a color of their delight
Would surely bring on the frowns

To defy the laws of tradition
Is a crusade only of the brave

Suppose the taxman, he comes to town,
And you don't lay your money down
Yet Mr. Jones he killed Mr. Brown the other day
Well, I wonder, who's gonna go to hell

2. Ground hog's day
When I woke up this mornin' I felt a pang
I was hungerin' for some apple pie
Stumble in the bathroom,
Hung my hog a little bit
Washed the sleep out of my eye
Oh yeah, it's gonna be a fine day
Scratched myself a bit
Poured me out a bowl-a corn chex
Closest thing I could find to apple pie
Lingerin' taste of toothpaste
Made the milk go down a bit funny
But you know, them chex they do satisfy
Oh yeah, this'll be a fine day
So, after my mornin' rise-n-shine and eat-n-clean
Had my mind set to hit them streets
Drizzle from the night left cold puddles out
Had my black stomp-boots on my fee
It's my day
Since I was in kneepants
My pop had tried to make me realize
If I set my mind down to it
I could be a big man in the public eye
So with my big blue collar on,
I set out to find the easy way
What an ice cold bath
It was when I found you had to pay to play
To taste the taste
It's a tease that never would subside
The taste is strong
But soured by my learned eyes
Well, if a woodchuck could chuck wood
He'd get down on his knees to pray
This little snappy boy might see
The light this ground hog's day

3. Too many puppies
Too many puppies are being shot in the dark.
Too many puppies are trained not to bark.
At the sight of blood that must be spilled
So that we may maintain our oil fields.

Too many puppies
Too many puppies are taught to heal.
Too many puppies are trained to kill.

On the command of men wearing money belts
That buy mistresses sleek animal pelts.

Too many puppies.
Too many puppies with guns in their hands.
Too many puppies in foreign lands.

Are dressed up sharp in suits of green and
Placed upon the war machine.

Too many puppies are just like me.
Too many puppies are afraid to see.
The visions of the past brought to life again,
Too many puppies, too many dead men

4. Mr Knowitall
They call me Mr. Knowitall
I will not compromise.
I will not be told what to do.
I shall not step aside.
They call me Mr. Knowitall
I have no time to waste.
My mouth it spews pure intellect.
And I've such elegant taste.

They call me Mr. Knowitall.
I sip the aged wine.
Oh I could tell such wondrous tales
If I should find the time.
I must be Mr. Knowitall
For ideas they come in bounds.
I am Mr. Knowitall
So spread the word around.

They call me Mr. Knowitall
I am so eloquent.
Perfection is my middle name
And whatever rhymes with eloquent

5. Frizzle fry
Hello all you boys and girls
I'd like to take you to the inside world
It's quite an irregular place to be
But never fear you're safe with me
Well, maybe
Golden hair of macrame'
Against the face that's cut from stone
The white porcelain is screaming Ayee
Thank God the the boy is not alone
I don't believe in Santa Claus
I don't believe in spite
I have no use for beauty dolls
Especially on this night
I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in lies
I don't believe in hologram

For I am the Frizzle fry

Andy's painting green again,
This time they might take him away
When Barrington starts to breathe again
It way just take us all away
I don't believe in charity
I don't believe in sin
And if you don't believe in me,
We'll play this tune over again
I don't believe in pinochle
And I don't beleive I'll try
I do believe in Captain Crunch

For I am the Frizzle fry
Yes I am the Frizzle fry

6. John the fisherman
When he was young
You'd not find him doing well in school.
His mind would turn unto the waters.
Always the focus of adolescent ridicule,
He has no time for farmer's daughters.
Alienated from the clique society,
A lonely boy finds peace in fishing.
His mother says,
"John this is not the way life's supposed to be."
"Don't you see the life that you are missing ?"

And he says...

When I grow up I want to be,
One of the harvesters of the sea.
I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman.

Now years gone by we find man that rules the sea.
He sets out on a dark May morning .
To bring his catch back to this small community.
He doesn't see the danger dawning.
Four hours up, oh the ocean swelled and swelled,
The fog rolled in it started raining.
"The starboard bow." "Oh my God we're going down!"
The do not hear his frantic mayday.

And he says...

When I grow up I want to be,
One of the harvesters of the sea.
I think before my days are done,
I want to be a fisherman.
"I'll live and die a fisherman."
Calling John the fisherman..

8. The toys go winding down
An overaged boy of thirty-nine has left the wing today
The first time in his life he's made that step
Be numbed by the society and plagued by insecurity
He's entered in a race that must be won
One of the animals has left its cage today
In search of better things so it seems to be
But in this land of polyurethane,
Things are apt to get a bit hot
As the toys go winding down

C.G. the Mexican is a friend of mine
We used to sit around the house watching evil dead
Talking about the way it used to be...
We used to pull the stripers out of Sand Pablo bay
Now the delta waters go down So. Cal.
And the stripers start to fade away

It's pudding time!
It's pudding time!

As the toys go winding down

9. Pudding time
You can have a lolly pop
A candy bar a jelly bean
I'll buy you a rainbow
To hang above your door

It's pudding time

Laughter is a sweet
You can't put a price on
When laughter's all gone
Daddy won't buy you more

It's pudding time
It's pudding time children

Money money money
To buy you things
Daddy's gonna buy you a diamond ring
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Humpty together again
San Francisco bay the
Striped bass are dying
But you're gonna get
That brand new bike
Oh joy

It's pudding time
It's pudding time children

10. Sathington Willoby
We are gathered here
Today in these majestic
Halls of old to honor
A man they call
Sathington Willoby
There's a joke or two,
A pun or three
I feel that must be
Told then I go on to
Soeak of Sathington Willoby
Sathington Willoby
The legislator that
Penned us up a bill
That banned the use
Of certain things like this and that

11. Spegetti western
Why do we do this C.G. and I?
Every night vegetables,
Minds numbed up by THC.
I've got my pen, C.G. the remote
Laurel and Hardy's the best bet at
four A.M. On a Friday
No dreads about the working day
Funny thing about weekends
When you're unemployed
They don't quite mean so much,
except you get to hang out with
all your working friends
Well we got us a spaghetti western on 36
I like spaghetti westerns
I like the way the boots are all reverbed out
walking across the hardwood floors
In fact, everything's got
that big reverb sound
Well what'll I do now?
Go to sleep
Pull the pud
We need new pornos
Well, I guess I'm still writing...

12. Harold of the rocks
It was a weekend's eve,
I had sex on my breath
I was lookin' for somethin' to see.
With a borrowed black leather
And my best fishin' hat.
Well, it was just Wendy O. and me.

We called old Swamp
Up on the telephone
And said we was comin' on
Down to pick him up
and then, he said,
"Hey Swampy, me and Greeny'll come along -

But only if we can bring a friend."
"His name is Harold."
I said "Okay."

Now, we had a
Swamper, Greeny, Wendy O, Stanley,
Harold of the Rocks and me.
We hopped into my dart
And headed for the nightbreak
To see a man they call Schooly D.

Harold he's a friendly guy.
He rambles on and on.
He'll talk the balls off a rhinosaurus.
Fact is, he just doesn't make much sense.

"Well", Stan said.
"This guy's pretty bizarre, Gus."

Harold of the rocks.

I saw Harold at a party
Trouzy threw late one night.
I said, "hey man,
Do you remember me?"
He said, "O' course
I do Snapdad and
Let me tell ya right
'Bout now I'm lit
Up like an ol' Christmas tree."

Hey bro you know I'd
like to thank you once again for let'n me
Hang with ya' all across the bay.
when I look back at that night I get me a
Warm spot across my heart."
Then he shook my hand, and walked away.
That's the last I seen of Harold.

Harold of the rocks.

So in the end,
Swamper and Greeny
Finally succumb to
The ways of Harold.
And in doing so
Each gave just a little bit
Of his soul away.
What a couple of dumbshits
