"Fountain Of Love"

"Fountain Of Love"


[includes a quote from Rite Of Spring (Stravinsky)]

Fountain . . . of . . . love!

One . . . two . . .

It was September, the leaves were gold
That's when our hearts knew that story untold
We were young lovers
(We were young lovers)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love

Do you remember, I held you so near
Our love's glowing ember so precious and dear
We were young lovers
(Lovers)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
(Fountain of love)
Fountain of love

We made a wish
(Lo-o-o-o-ove)
And threw in a coin
And since that day
(Lo-o-ove)
Our hearts have been joined
So all you young lovers
(Lo-o-o-o-ove)
Wherever you are
The fountain of love is not very far
We'll go on dreaming of that golden day
And remember the fountain is not far away

We were young lovers
(Lo-o-o-overs)
Strolling near
The fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love
Fountain of love

[Spoken]
(Lo-o-ove)
We made a wish and threw in a coin
(Lo-o-ove)
And since that day, our hearts have been joined
(Lo-o-ove)
So all you young lovers wherever you are
The fountain of love is not very far

Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love, oooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo (wee-oo)
Fountain of love . . .

"Frogs With Dirty Little Lips"

"Frogs With Dirty Little Lips"



Frogs with dirty little lips
Dirty little warts on their finger-tips
Dirty 'n green
Tiny 'n mean
Floppin' around
By tne edge of the stream

Frogs with dirty little eyes
Dirty little tongues all covered with flies
Dirty brown
Floppin' around
Puffed up 'n bloated
When the sun goes down

Frogs with dirty little nose
Dirty little spots all over their clothes
Dirty legs
Dirty feet
Dirty little frogs is what you eat

"Getting Stewed"

"Getting Stewed"


[Howard:] Yes, ladies and gentlemen, coming to you direct from high atop the Konrad Adenauer Inn. Just a short forty five minute rocket flight, from where Cape Canaveral meets the Alcan Highway, twenty minutes down Route 66, just a short hop skip and a jump from the corner of Sunset and Fifth avenue. High atop one Fifth avenue where we're listening to the rancid rhythms of Riles Mizzinnitz and his music to make you wanna throw up. Yes, and coming up right after this, ladies and gentlemen, The Five Rancid Fingers of Ben Zedrine and his . . .
[Mark:] Strings . . .
[Howard:] Silly side and cut ups, yes, ladies and gentlemen, here we go into another . . . thing. No, not into another thing, ladies and gentlemen, I'm glad, because it's time to say that you're listening to the National Bum Rushing Company and we're all sitting around the table here stewed, ladies and gentlemen, and we're sitting here in Spokane, Washington
[Mark:] Right on
[Howard:] Would beyond the reef
[Mark:] Can Can
[Howard:] I hope this is it, because I can't go on crooning forever, come on in, boys!

"Go Cry on Somebody Else's Shoulder"

"Go Cry on Somebody Else's Shoulder"


A year ago today
Was when you went away
But now you come back knockin' on my door
And you say you're back to stay,
But I say...
Go cry
On somebody else's shoulder
I'm somewhat wiser now
And one whole year older
I sure don't need you now
And I don't love you
Anymore

You cheated me baby,
And told some dirty lies about me
Fooled around with all those other guys
That's why I had to set you free
I sure don't need you now
And I don't love you
Anymore

A year ago today
You went away
And now you come back crying
Crying, crying: please, let me in
But I don't need you
No I don't love you anymore
So go lean on...go cry on
Somebody else's door

Go cry
On somebody else's shoulder
I'm somewhat wiser now
And one whole year older
I sure don't need you now
And I don't love you
Anymore (Oh, my darling!)

[Spoken:]
Go ahead and cry
Go ahead and let the tears fall outa your eye
Let 'em fall on your dress
Who cares if it makes a mess?
I gave you my high school ring
At the root beer stand
We had a teen-age love baby
I thought it was sharp
It was really so grand...but

You cheated me baby
And told some dirty lies about me
Fooled around with all those other guys
That's why I had to get my khakis pressed
I sure don't need you now
And I don't love you
Anymore

[Spoken:]
Baby, I love you so much, darling
Why don't you dig me?
I dig you
But you don't dig me
I don't understand what it is
I had my car re-upholstered
I got my hair processed
I got a nice pompadour job on it
I bought a new pair of shoes
I got some new khakis and I met you
And we went out to get a Coca-Cola...

"Goblin Girl"



Hob-noblin
Wit de goblin
De Goblin Girl
From da mystery world
Hob-noblin
Wit de goblin
She's black 'n green
'Cause it's Halloween
Raggedy black
Is the way she dress
Little green shoes
'N her hairs a mess
On Halloween night
At de costume ball
She's a Goblin Girl
An' she can gobble it all
She's a goblin
She's a Goblin Girl
She's a goblin
She's a Goblin Girl
I been hobblin'
'Cause of the Goblin
Goblin Girl. . .
Goblin Girl
Some girls like
To dress like a witch
Some girls like to dress like a queen
Best way a girl
Can dress for me
Is in a Goblin suit
(They look so cute...)
When they're a goblin
There ain't a problin
When they're a goblin
I start a-wobblin'
Pink all over
Some is tan
Goblin Girls
From every land
They look good
From any which-a-way
Every Halloween
You can hear me say:
"Goblin Girl, take it away. . ''
Hob-noblin
Wit de goblin
De Goblin Girl
From da mystery world
(TRICK OR TREAT NOW. . .etc.)
Talkin' 'bout the bad girls
All the Goblin Girls
Talkin' 'bout the bad, bad girls
The little Goblin Girls
Some are called Doreen
Some are dressed in green
They're tricking your treat
But they're bad girls
They're very bad girls
(LEPRECHAUN LIGHT. . .etc.)
They make your face look like you got scales on it
But that's okay.. .
When the green light shines down
On the black guys in the band
Everybody in the audience
Thinks they're seeing something
That looks like it's made out of Fish skin
But Coy leaves the green gels in the truss
Because he knows the guys in the front
Really enjoy looking like they've got
Scales all over their body. . .
