Baby's Into Taxidermy
03:02
|
|

I didn't mind the smell of formaldehyde on our first date
or the moment when a glass eyeball fell out onto her plate
or when I drove her home, and she said what turned her on
was picking up roadkill from the interstate
She told me her dream man was teddy roosevelt
She ran her hands across my leather belt
My baby's into taxidermy
It doesn't seem to concern me
out of all the zoological hobbies in the world, my girl
she's into taxidermy
She took me up to her lovin' bed
Showed me her diorama of animal heads
I asked if it'd be alright if I turned out the lights
She said let 'em watch - they're already dead
She told me her dream about teddy roosevelt
She began to undo my leather belt
She told me to call her teddy roosevelt
She said to lie down on the tiger pelt
My baby's into taxidermy
It doesn't seem to concern me
out of all the zoological hobbies in the world, my girl
she's into taxidermy

Monster Movie
03:09

|

you say I put the hamster in the microwave on purpose
I think you flushed all my tropical fish
you assume that I'm the one who threw up on your carpet
but I know you broke my favorite dish
you'll arm some atomic warheads
while I put on my rubber suit
and Japanese people will scream with their mouths out of sync
while you and I duke it out on mt. fuji
they're making popcorn and selling front row seats
because you and I must look like a monster movie
six months ago I signed us up for couples yoga
you got the refund, never paid me back
you say I vacuumed up all your star wars legos
because you broke my DVD, season one of samurai jack
I'll amass my team of scientists
while you scale the empire state buidling
and Japanese people will scream with their mouths out of sync
while you and I duke it out on mt. fuji
they're making popcorn and selling front row seats
because you and I must look like a monster movie
you'll amass your team of scientists
while I put on my rubber suit
and aliens from Venus will turn me into a giant robot
while the coast guard tracks you on radar clicks
fat guys at comic con are selling figurines of us
because you and I must look like a monster flick
and japanese people will scream with their mouths out of sync
while you and I duke it out on mt. fuji
they're making popcorn and selling front row seats
because you and I must look like a monster movie

I hope you had fun on the bus
I hope you made lots of friends
this is gonna be the best two weeks of your entire summer
so enjoy it before it ends
I know we promised we'd be bunkmates
we've talked about it since we were small
but if you're looking around for me, I guess you didn't hear
that i didn't get into spacecamp this year
maybe I was just unlucky
maybe I just didn't try
maybe the universe is trying to tell me something
maybe I'm just having one of those times
What's it like in zero gravity?
Do they feed you freeze dried meals?
Have you fallen in love with a space camp girl?
can you tell me how it feels?
Have you seen the lunar lander?
Have you met mission control?
Is it true that earth is blue from out in space?
did it shake you to your soul?
Don't you worry about me here
summer school is kind of fun
I told my study partner I'd help her with her french
so I guess I gotta run
maybe I was just unlucky
maybe I just didn't try
maybe the universe is trying to tell me something
maybe I'm just having one of those times

Zombie Friend
02:10
|
|

When I had a zombie friend
he'd come over
and we'd pretend
that my brain was chicken soup
he'd eat the whole thing
scoop by scoop
my girlfriend is a vampire
she's got sharp teeth
so please don't offer garlic to her
I bite her, she bites me
we bite each other
so tenderly
you're my friend, you're just like me
you've got a boring job
and you live down the street.
we hang out like two regular guys
but then again, maybe you're a spy

Waiting For December
04:42
|
|

new years is gone and I'm still thinking about the things we said
when your sleigh was on my roof and you were in my bed
you said I'd been a good boy and you sat me on your lap
you asked me if I'd like to take a long winter's nap
santa, I guess I got swept off my feet
your hands were frozen but your beard was sticky sweet
you left me milk and cookies on the table in the den
now I'm waiting for December to bring you back again
"naughty little scorpio" you called me with a kiss
you put back on your mittens and you crossed me off your list
I helped you with your big black boots and heard you say goodbye
now I lay awake again and you're the reason why
santa, I guess I got swept off my feet
your hands were frozen but your beard was sticky sweet
I see you only once a year with so long in between
so I deck my halls up just in case and keep my chimney clean
Shiny plastic reindeer on the fourth of july
and every day the H.O.A. demands that I comply
I made a model of my house in gingerbread today
with a tiny chocolate santa claus who never flies away
Santa, I guess I got swept off my feet
your hands were frozen but your beard was sticky sweet
I wrote you a letter and I wonder if an elf
screens your mail or do you really read it all yourself?
santa, I guess I got swept off my feet
your hands were frozen but your beard was sticky sweet
you left me milk and cookies on the table in the den
now I'm waiting for December to bring you back again

Dr. Prankenstein
03:41

They call me dr.prankenstein cuz my pranks are insane
I'm always pulling a leg, I'm always yanking a chain
I'm always putting fake vomit onto people's chairs
always putting fake spiders into people's hair
always putting people's hairs into other people's food
booty calling my girl and be like, "I'm not in the mood"
see me down at the club, hitting on the fly honeys
get their digits, call 'em up, say "your refrigerator running?"
they call me dr.prankenstein cuz I keep 'em in stitches
I got those booger flavored jelly beans but I act like they're delicious
anything you can imaginate I got ersatz;
I got the fake arrow like I've just been shot
and the fake diarrhea like I got the trots
and a film reviews blog that's riddled with fake plots
now you're fronting like you don't trust me and I don't blame ya
every day is april fool's day in pranksylvania
I'm in my pranks laboratory and I'm screaming "It's alive!"
whoopie cushions heralding the moment I arrive
telling you it's 4:00 when it's 3:55,
telling you I'm belly flopping when I know that I'ma dive
say it's onions that I'm chopping when it's actually chives
set you up and leave you hanging every single high-five
I'm dr.prankenstein and I'm building a hoax
to pull the wool over on the good working folks
I'm dr.prankenstein and I'm creating a goof
to blow a hole in your thatched cottage peasant roof
dipping hands in warm water every slumber event
set every monitor zoom to four hundred percent
put plastic wrap over your toilet bowl
and lick all the glaze off your cinnamon roll
It's pranksgiving now time to say grace
before I throw this apple pie in your face
before I put on my poker face
and tell you as you trip I didn't know about your shoe lace
sip your drink and it seems kinda queer
find out somebody put a pickle in your beer
but it couldn't have been me, I'm over here
and oh hello - looks like somebody put your wallet in the jell-o
was it me who put the rocks in the gravy?
who put the skunk in your mercedes?
who never even had it tested for rabies?
in the hospital nursery, switching all the babies?
see me in the corner with my groucho glasses,
pull on my finger to release the gasses
my only chains are the ones that I'm yanking
the only girls I fool around with are the ones that I'm pranking
I'm dr.prankenstein I'm the best in the land
I got the joy buzzer when I'm shaking your hand
I got the faux jar of nuts when you want a snack
I got the 'kick me' sign taped onto your back
I'm dr.prankenstein but the ladies call me victor
at least, your mamma did when I tricked her
my pranks are a nine on the richter
I do the bunny ears in every family picture
now I'm pranking circles around you, you don't know which way's up
I put an extra sugar in your coffee cup
you wanted gelato, I brought you sorbet
you wanted MC Lyte I played Roxanne Shante
you wanted plastic, I gave you paper
you wanted muppets in space I played the great muppet caper
who replaced all your oranges with clementines?
mother fucker dr. prankenstein

Brush Yo Teef Vermont
Brush Yo Teef never dies. It only hibernates. A quiet stillness, unsettled dreams. Waiting for you to wake one day with these songs in your ears like a breath of spring, like a memory of last summer. Like a dream you just forgot.
