"7 8 9"

"7 8 9"



1, 2, 3 and 4 more makes 7
6 is afraid of 7 'cause 7 ate 9

9 was minding his business
Talking to 10 about Gordy Howe's clothes
Why 7 ate 9 nobody knows

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
What about 9?
7 ate 9

Oh, the cat'll have to live with 8 lives now
Ronaldo will have to make do
Ever since 7 ate 9 it seems
I've got an extra finger and an extra toe too
7 ate 9

Once upon a time in our solar system
We couldn't make do without 9
But Pluto's not a planet now
So 8 will do fine

Oh, the cat'll have to live with 8 lives now
The Chinese will be out of luck
Vampires will have to think of some other method
'Cause without their K 9's how will they suck?
7 ate 9

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10
What about 9?
7 ate 9, 7 ate 9, 7 ate 9
Oh, 7 ate 9

"A"

"A"


A is for angry, which is what you are at me
A is for adult, which is what I'll never be
A is for applesauce, my favorite meal
A is for Adam, which is how I sometimes feel;
Like I'm the only man on Earth, and I've forgotten what that's worth
A is for Arthur, he's a lovable drunk
A M & Azing, like Thelonius Monk
A is for argument, A is for apparent
A is for antagonism that's not even there and
it's just you begging for attention or something I won't even mention

[Chorus:]
And I don't even know why you keep on trying
Like I don't even know why I keep on lying
There are millions of people in worlds of their own
And two of them can't let go

A is for algebra, I learned it in school
A is what Fonzie said, 'cause he was very cool
A is for adversary, A is for affection
A is arousal, you are giving me an erection
C'mon I'm trying to show affection for longer than a half an hour

[Chorus]

I met a woman I used to know
Long before you, long ago
All I could say, after hello
Was "are you still single?"
A is for attitude I can't help but wield
A is for arrogance; emotional shield
A is for acting, A is for abhorrently
A is for asshole, which is what I am, how rude of me.
I owe you an apology I'm sorry

[Chorus]

"A Word For That"

"A Word For That"



There's a word for that
But I don't seem to know it
Sometimes I grow a mustache
Just so I don't have to show it

The word for that
That someone somewhere chose
For that little dented skin
Between my upper lip and nose

There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do

The word you're looking for is philtrum

There's a word for that
It may come to me soon
It dangles down in my mouth
And is often in cartoons

The word for that
It seems like such a drag
To not know what to call
That little fleshy punching bag

There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do

Do you mean uvula?

There's a word for that
It's on the tip of my tongue
Well, actually underneath it
And has been since I was young

The word for that
Although I wouldn't quote
It likely stops my tongue
From disappearing down my throat

There's a word for that
What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do

What does it start with, the word for that?
I'd sound so smart if I only knew
The word for that, perhaps you do

Are you nuts, it's frenulum

"Adrift"

"Adrift"



Ever since we said our goodbyes
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry
Something isn't right
Like the Deep Blue without the Great White

In the morning open your eyes
The waterfalls, the fire flies
You're an abacus
And my heart was counting on us

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

Crescent moon sings me to sleep
The birches bark, the willows weep
But I lie awake
I'm adrift without a snowflake

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

"Adrift (Outtake)"

"Adrift (Outtake)"


[Verse 1]
Ever since we said our goodbyes
The onion rings, the phone makes me cry
Something isn't right
Like the Deep Blue without the Great White

[Verse 2]
In the morning open your eyes
The waterfalls, the fire flies
You're an abacus
And my heart was counting on us

[Chorus]
Your mind's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

[Verse 3]
Crescent moon sings me to sleep
The birches bark, the willows weep
But I lie awake
I'm adrift without a snowflake

[Chorus]
Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road
Your heart's got a heavy load
There's still a long way to go
Keep your eyes on the road

"Alcohol"

"Alcohol"



Alcohol, my permanent accessory
Alcohol, a party-time necessity
Alchool, alternative to feeling like yourself
O Alcohol, I still drink to your health

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol

Forget the caffe latte,
screw the raspberry iced tea
A Malibu and Coke for you, a G&T for me
Alcohol, Your songs resolve like
my life never will
When someone else is picking up the bill

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse

I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else

Would you please forgive me?
Would you please forgive me?

"All In Good Time"

"All In Good Time"



In time we move so fast
In time away from the past
In time the pain heals at last
All in good time

In time the minutes dance
In time we trust a romance
In time we'll go live in France
All in good time

The clock has two hands
Strong to hold you tight
You can't buy another chance
To get things right

In time we learn to choose
In time we gain what we'll lose
In time we'll all sing the blues
All in good time

There is time, don't worry
Sometimes you won't care
And in time you won't hurry,
you're not going anywhere

In time we walk until
In time over the hill
In time we pay the bill
All in good time

All in good time
All in good time
All in good time

"Allergies"

"Allergies"



Ow, hi, do you have a cold?
Uh, no man, I just suffer from

Allergies, allergies
Allergies, allergies

Allergic to cats, allergic to bees
Allergic to dust, allergic to trees
Allergic to mold, allergic to weeds

My little brother is allergic to meat
My friends' mother is allergic to wheat
Allergic to meat?
Allergic to wheat?
Gotta be tricky finding something to eat

Allergies, allergies
Allergies, allergies

Allergic to dogs, allergic to frogs
Allergic to nuts, I hate the guts
Allergic to smoke, it makes me choke
Allergic to shrimp, I'll blow up like a blimp

I get all itchy, and I start to wheeze
Even if I see a slice of cheese
A slice of cheese? I stat to wheeze
Hang on fellas I'm about to sneeze
Aaa, aaa, aaa, achoo!

Allergies, allergies
Allergies, allergies

Allergic to dogs, allergic to frogs
Allergic to eggs, allergic to legs
Allergic to heads, allergic to beds
Allergic to bark, it makes me snark

Allergic to face, allergic to bass
Allergic to guitars, allergic to the stars
Allergic to you, allergic to me
Allergic to birds, allergic to bees

"Alternative Girlfriend"

"Alternative Girlfriend"


You're in an all-girl band
Your futon's second hand
Your parents understand, but you don't care
I have a job in a shop
I'm an undercover cop
I make sure the customers aren't thieves

Old at being young
Young at being old
Everything's on hold within our evolution

[Chorus]
You're my alternative girlfriend
I love you and now you cannot pretend
There's nothing left that won't cross over

Last night we slept on the lawn
You woke up and I was gone
Back to the dream I dream to leave
My life with her is a bore
A worn-out metaphor
No more surprises up its sleeve

We're old at being young, young at being old
Everything's been sold to others' revolutions

[Chorus]

You live above your dad's four-car garage
With your vinyl and imaginary entourage
If I pull up in a U-Haul, pack up quick
So we can get out of this town, 'cause it makes me sick

[Chorus]
