"My Favorite Boxer"

"My Favorite Boxer"


Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer
He goes smasho and everyone cheers
He turns big men into whimpering cowards
He's so strong and how I adore him
But I'm so weak
So much so that I'm afraid
to walk alone down my street
I know I'll never be as brave as Hector Ormano
Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer
His smile is so white like elephant ivory
He's so handsome and all of his girlfriends
Are tall and blonde with hourglass curves
But I don't know many girls
And I certainly don't know any girls like that
Even if I did I wouldn't be as cool as Hector Ormano
One summer day I was sitting on the bridge
Looking at the water below
When I heard some laughter and a familiar voice
Coming from down the road
It was then that I saw and my heart nearly dropped
I saw Hector Ormano with some friends
And as they approached my mind went blank
As I struggled to find the words
I was dying to tell him
As Hector walked by he picked up a stick
And threw it at my head
His friends went quiet and Hector said to me
"What are you looking at wimp?"
HHHHHEEEEECCCCCTTTTTOOOOORRRRR!!!!!
Hector Ormano is my favorite boxer
Even though he was mean to me
My father says I'm a meaningless no one
Compaired to the perfect Hector Ormano

"My Favourite Christmas (In A Hundred Words Or Less)"

"My Favourite Christmas (In A Hundred Words Or Less)"


Do you remember that one Christmas when we
Didn't think we'd be together.
We were almost seperated by the weather
But I ran through the snow
Right up to your window and smiled cause I
Was so absolutely happy to be with you
All our relatives were too afraid to drive
Through the snow
We got to spend the day alone, I swear it
Was the most beautiful day I know
We sat by the fire and opened the presents
That we'd gotten for each other then after
You telephoned your mother. We cuddled on
The couch, drank cocoa by the tree and you
Smiled cause you were so absolutely happy
To be with me
The day went by so fast and as night
Approached we laughed at our luck. The
Snow had let up
After the roads were cleared all our relatives
Suddenly appeared
So we blew out the candles and replaced
Frank Sinatra with Phil Spector's Christmas record
Our grandparents filed in all plaid and
Checkered with their arms filled with gifts
And delicious desserts and we smiled
Cause we were so absolutely happy
So very very happy to be together

"My Friend Will Be Me"

"My Friend Will Be Me"


I wish I knew a man
Someone to steal me
from this sadness
I wish I knew a girl
Who'd run her fingers
through my hair and kiss me
Wish I didn't have to pretend
That when I'm talking to the floor I'm talking to you
If I had a friend then
such stupid things I'd never have to do
I wish I had a friend
I wish I knew a man
One who'd help me to stop disguising my feelings
I wish I knew a girl
Who'd keep me from silencing my heart's voice
Oh I wish I didn't feel like an island
No country will claim
Wish I had a friend who'd stop me
From falling into this depression all over again
I wish I had a friend like that
But I know it will never be
So that friend for me has to come from inside of me
My friend will have to be me
I wish I knew a man
Someone to help me stop being self conscious
I wish I knew a girl
One to take away my fear of dying
I wish I weren't afraid that some spirit
Will come out of the darkness and carry me away
I wish I had a friend whom if that happened
Would storm right in and save the day
I wish I had a friend like that
But I know it will never be
So that friend for me has to come from inside of me
My friend will have to be me

"My, What A Strange Day With A Swede"

"My, What A Strange Day With A Swede"


When I rode in a trolley across your face with a Swedish man
I bet that wasn't in your plans for the day
My, what a strange day (What a strange day)
For poor little Nietzsche
Why so forlorn?
You know we love you, Nietzsche
And all of your friends have come to see you, Nietzsche
So let us see you, Nietzsche
Everyone's waiting, Nietzsche
Don't be so sneaky
When he smeared a candy bar across your face with a gloveless hand
I thought you'd never stop lashing the Swede
My, what a strange day (What a strange day)
For poor little Nietzsche
Why so forlorn?
You know we love you, Nietzsche
And all of your friends have come to see you, Nietzsche
So let us see you, Nietzsche
Everyone's waiting, Nietzsche
Don't be so sneaky
What more could be done on a day like today
Than to lock up your heart and quickly swallow the key?
Now I'm gonna tell you something we can do
If you cut off my head, I'll cut yours off for you
I'll cut it off for you
I'll cut it off for you
I'll cut it off for you
Poor little Nietzsche
Why so forlorn?
You know we love you, Nietzsche
And all of your friends have come to see you, Nietzsche
So let us see you, Nietzsche
Everyone's waiting, Nietzsche
Don't be so sneaky
What more could be done on a day like today
Than to lock up your heart and quickly swallow the key?
I like the image of us tossing our heads at the Swedish man
I bet he'd never telephone us again
Not even to say (Not even to say)
"My, what a strange day
For poor little Nietzsche"
Why so forlorn?
You know we love you, Nietzsche
And all of your friends have come to see you, Nietzsche
Oh, let us see you, Nietzsche
Everyone's waiting, Nietzsche
Don't be so sneaky

"Natalie And Effie In The Park"

"Natalie And Effie In The Park"


Sundays were made for strolls through the park
though before today she'd always gone alone
Now the sun shines down all around them
cause Natalie's not alone she's not alone
On Friday she'd bought a Yorkshire terrier
and instantly found a true friend of her own
Now they sing and skip through the flowers
cause Natalie's not alone she's not alone
She named him Effie
Effie was his name despite a bladder problem
she loved him just the same
She takes him nearly every where she goes
he delights her with the many tricks he knows
Now the sun shines down all around them
cause Natalie's not alone
She knits him sweaters and woolen Winter hats
from the window she watches him chase the neighbors cats
And laughs and laughs “Hey Effie
would you like to go for a walk?
Would you like to go for a ride?”
And Effie never left her side until she died

"Neat Little Domestic Life"

"Neat Little Domestic Life"


You clean the bathroom
and I do the dishes
I water the lawn
and you feed the fishes
What a neat little domestic life that we live

You change the light bulb and I hold the ladder
I get the frying pan and you mix the batter
What a neat little domestic life that we live

All the lonely days are gone
Those long lonely days when I was alone
And I felt this world was not the place I belonged
But then I met you and now I belong

You rake the leaves and I start a fire
I clean out the shed and you turn on the dryer
What a neat little domestic life that we live

I brush the dog and you knit a sweater
You vacuum the rug and I write a letter
What a neat little domestic life that we live

I clear the table and you draw the curtain
You ask if I'm happy and I tell you I'm certain
That this neat little domestic life is for me

"Nickee Coco And The Invisible Tree"

"Nickee Coco And The Invisible Tree"


Nickee Coco woke up early one Tuesday morning and decided to go for a walk in the tomato field behind her house.
As she was walking along she saw a magnificently tall invisible tree and decided to climb up on it.
She found the foliage covered branches so comfortable that she fell fast asleep. She was still asleep when nightfall came and her mother became frantic with worry.
She ran from house to house asking everyone she saw if they had seen Nickee or knew where she was.
Soon the whole town was aware of Nickee's disappearance and they immediately started the search.
And so the search began
Everybody was looking for Nickee Coco
They looked on rooftops and in trees in the park
Mr. Temboley even shouted down the well
"Nickee Coco if you are down there give a yell"
but he didn't hear a yell
And so the search went on
Everybody was still looking for Nickee Coco
They asked the stuttering organ grinder in the square
Who said "No no no no
I hav-hav-haven't heard a thi-thing
But the second that I-I-I d-d-do I'll gi-gi-give a ring
Oh-oh-oh the poor poor poor little thing"
All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep
Very peaceful in her invisible tree
Eating mangos in a dream
And so the search went on
All the while Nickee was curled up fast asleep
No longer peaceful in her invisible tree
Being chased by antelopes in a dream
And so the search went on
They're wondering if they'll ever find Nickee Coco
Nickee's mother asked Miss Colvendom in tears
"Margaret tell me what on earth I've done
To deserve losing my sweet beloved one?
What could I have possibly done?"
Many weeks passed and though some people were beginning to lose hope they all kept searching and never did Nickee leave their thoughts.
One day an owl happened to fly past Nickee still sleeping soundly up in the invisible tree and rushed back to tell the townspeople.
After an owl translator was called in and the owl's wonderful message was understood the whole town joyously followed the owl back to the invisible tree where little Nickee was still fast asleep.
They all cheered when they saw her and Nickee finally awoke as they lifted her above their heads and marched victoriously back into town where they had a huge party in honor of her return and sang this song…
We love you Nickee Coco
We were so sad when we thought we had lost you
Nickee Coco now we're so happy
because at last
we found you
we found you
we love you

"Nicki Lighthouse"

"Nicki Lighthouse"


Everybody does the same things
Everybody's the same
Everyone that is 'cept for my friend Nicki Lighthouse
She is from the jungle and has never rode a bike
Instead she rides on apes and llamas
everywhere she goes
And everywhere she goes the boring people say
"There she goes again
the strangest girl that's ever been"
Everybody thinks the same things
Everybody's the same
Everyone that is 'cept for my friend Nicki Lighthouse
Where she's from forward is backward
and down is up
so she eats her dinner on the ceiling
and wallpapers the floor
And everywhere she goes the boring people say
"There she goes again
the strangest girl that's ever been"
I'm a big fan Nicki Lighthouse
You know that I am
You know that I am

"No Conclusion"

"No Conclusion"


Tonight I feel like I should just destroy myself
Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself
Myself

Tonight I feel like I should just destroy myself
Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself
Myself

There's someone calling my name
But there's nothing to respond
I lost so much in our collapse
Man, what little hope is gone

The voice said, "Don't worry friend
The darkness is just a suggestion
No, don't worry, kid
The darkness is just a suggestion
No, don't worry Kevin"

Tonight I feel like I should just destroy myself
Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself
Myself

There's someone calling my name
But there's nothing to respond
I lost so much in our collapse
Oh, what little hope is gone

The voice said, "Don't worry friend
This darkness is just a suggestion
No, don't worry, kid
This darkness is just a suggestion
No, don't worry kid"

Tonight I feel like I should just destroy myself
Tonight I feel like I should just explode myself
Myself

I'm allergic to the world when we're separated
There's nothing in my heart that's worth a beating
Feeling like a Styrofoam prop ennui is eating
Oh, sure, we talk and talk and talk
But nothing worth repeating

I feel defeated
I feel defeated
I feel defeated

Now I'm OD'ing on your cocksucker blues
You make me uptight when you just don't work right
You painted my prison, now something's wrong
And I never ever ever wanted to write this song

I'm killing myself but it's not suicide
I'm killing myself
I'm killing myself but it's not suicide
I'm killing myself but my friends will never know
Because I've never been
Because I've never been honest with anyone

Always pulling faces from the unprepossessing places
Of the universal mind
I'm crippled by the world when we are divided
There's nothing in my heart that's worth the creaking
Feeling like a Pamplona bull that's finished kicking
Although we try to break the loop, it's always stuck repeating

I feel defeated
I feel defeated
I feel defeated

Now I'm OD'ing on your cocksucker blues
You make me uptight when you just don't work right
You painted my prison, now something's wrong

And I never ever ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless

And I never ever ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless

And I never ever ever wanted to write this song
I always thought things would change somehow
And we would start getting along
But it's hopeless, hopeless
