Suzanne

I saw your name, baby
In a telephone booth
And it told all about you, mama
Boy, I hope it was the truth
I took down your number
Looked up your address, sue
And I was hopin that maybe
You could love me, too
Im gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
Im gonna wait in the shadows
For you to come by
And then Ill jump from the shadows
And try and catch your eye
Gonna run my fingers through your hair
And love you everywhere
Now I dont want to get too romantic
Thats just not my way
But when I get my arms around you
Im gonna rock you all the night

Mama Told Me Not To Come

Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea?
What are these crazy questions
That theyre asking of me?
This is the wildest party that there ever could be
Oh, dont turn on the light cause I dont want to see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said, that aint no way to have fun
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think Im almost choking on the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette youre smoking bout to scare me half to death
Open up the window, let me catch my breath
The radio is blasting, someones beating on the door
Our hostess is not lasting - shes out on the floor
I seen so many things here I aint never seen before
I dont know what it is - but I dont wanna see no more
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
Mama said, that aint no way to have fun

When She Loved Me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy
So was I
When she loved me
Through the summer and the fall
We had each other, that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me
So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day

Half A Man

This big old queen was standing on the corner of the street he waved his hanky at me as I went rolling by I pulled the truck up on the sidewalk and I climbed down from the cab with my tire-chain
My knife as I approached him he was trembling like a bird I raised the chain above my head he said, please, before you kill me might I have one final word? and this is what he said:
;i am but half a man, half a man Id like to be a dancer but Im much too large half a man, half a man Im an object for your pity not your rage oh, the strangest feelings sweeping over m
H my speech and manner have become much more refined I said, oh, what is this feeling? what is wrong with me? she said, girl, it happens all the time and you are half a m
Alf a man look, youre walking and youre talking like a fag. half a man, I am half a man holy jesus, what a drag

My Old Kentucky Home

Turpentine and dandelion wine
Ive turned the corner and Im doin fine
Shootin at the birds on the telephone line
Pickin em off with my gun of mine
I got a fire in my belly
And a fire in my head
Goin higher and higher
Until Im dead
Sister sue, shes short and stout
She didnt grow up - she grew out
Mama says shes plain but shes just bein kind
Papa thinks shes pretty but hes almost blind
Dont let her out much cept at night
But I dont care cause Im all right
Oh, the sun shines bright on
My old kentucky home
And the young folks roll on the floor
Oh, the sun shines bright on
My old kentucky home
Keep them hard times away from my door

Rider In The Rain

Got a gun in my holster
Got a horse between my knees
And Im goin to arizona
Pardon me, boys, if you please
I have been a desperado
Raped and pillaged cross the plain
Now, Im goin to arizona
Just a rider in the rain
Hes a rider in the rain
Hes a rider in the rain
And Im goin to arizona
Hes a rider in the rain
Oh, my mothers in st. louis
And my brides in tennessee
So, Im goin to arizona
With a banjo on my knee
Hes a rider in the rain
Hes a rider in the rain
And Im goin to arizona
Hes a rider in the rain

Short People

Short people
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live
They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around
Tellin great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little feet
Well, I dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
Dont want no short people
'round here
Short people are just the same
As you and i
(a fool such as I)

Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
Short People got no reason
To live
They got little hands
And little eyes
And they walk around
Tellin' great big lies
They got little noses
And tiny little teeth
They wear platform shoes
On their nasty little fett
Well I don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Don't want no Short People
Round here
Short People are just the same
As you and I

All men are brothers

Political Science

No one likes us-i dont know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
But all around, even our old friends put us down
Lets drop the big one and see what happens
We give them money-but are they grateful?
No, theyre spiteful and theyre hateful
They dont respect us-so lets surprise them
Well drop the big one and pulverize them
Asias crowded and europes too old
Africa is far too hot
And canadas too cold
And south america stole our name
Lets drop the big one
Therell be no one left to blame us
Well save australia
Dont wanna hurt no kangaroo
Well build an all american amusement park there
They got surfin, too
Boom goes london and boom paree
More room for you and more room for me
