Get enchiladas
Get it down into your tidy hole
Everyone is scared of you
I don’t even think you have bread anymore
Oh how can I hibernate with your electric blanket on
Girl you’ve got it going on
Girl you got it goin’
Girl you got it goin’
Everyone is an airplane
Are you having airport anxiety?
Everybody has your little face in the mirror of the airport vanity
The airport vanity
My mom is a turtle and she don’t know what to do
She’s got a little shell and it goes hoo hoo
Everyone has artichokes in their heart
Every artichoke has a little person for a pet
If you thought it was over you were wrong
If you thought this was the time you learned
And understood something you were also wrong
No wise bombs here
If you’re trying to get enlightened
I suggest going to your hidey hole
You’ve got an interesting perspective on
World War 7
Hey little DJ I think anyone could do your job
Do your job
DJs don’t get any more credit than they should
DJs don’t get any more credit than they should

Anderson Cooper

Ahhhhhh!
Everybody is a triangle’s mother
Everybody is a triangle’s mom
Are you listening to me?
I have an opinion
About things I don’t know about
It’s me, everyone!
I’m Anderson Cooper
And I know astrology
I have opinions about things
I don’t know anything about
I have opinions about your feelings
Mansplain
Everyone has feelings. But do they?
Do artichokes have feelings?
They have hearts
Who knows when artichokes feel?
If you’re crying in the rain
I can tell you have something you regret, you regret
When you’re lonesome look down to your feet
And if you see your toes staring back at you
You better put some shoes on
What is this a barn?
Go put on your shoes
You’re a laughing disgrace of a person
You don’t deserve to have any friends
Oh wait, that’s my inner monologue
Is it true? Let’s find out
I’m the angel of your inner subconscious
Stop being an asshole to yourself
Stop being an asshole to yourself
If you can’t say anything nice
Then don’t say anything at all
You smelt it you dealt it
You felt it I held it
Anybody
who has opinions is wrong
You heard me, your opinions are wrong
False, incorrect, unfounded
You don’t deserve to have any pleasure
Oh wait, that’s my inner monologue again
Take that Trudy

Get out of the rain
Get out of the garbage disposal
I put my fingers in the garbage disposal again
Why would I do this to myself?
How would I do this to anyone else?
When I do this to ya
Frankenstein mother in law
Frankenstein is my mother in law
She comes over and brings coleslaw
Frankenstein is my mother in law
Yes I know that’s the doctor not the monster, ya’ll
Frankenstein is my mother in law
She brings old cold cuts any old time
She brings ham and lots of salami
Even though we told her don’t bring pastrami
Frankenstein is my mother in law
She gives good gifts at Christmas time
But Halloween
She dresses up as herself
Dresses up as a normal person
Puts on a wig and wears a costume
Her wig looks surprisingly like
A girl I knew in college
She said, "See you later"
She said, "Alligator"
She was trying to fit in with the
Normal colloquialisms of the human race,
The human race
But no one knew she was Frankenstein
Dressed up as my friend Tracy
It was Halloween in suburban Maryland
Who could tell she was a Frankenstein lady
Dressed up as her suburban friend?
Dressed up as her suburban friend
Suburban friend
Suburban friend
You’ve got a suburban friend
You can name her Alabaster
You can name her Plaster
Anybody knows what she is after
She’s gonna sleep with your husband
She’s gonna sleep with your son
She’s a MILF and you don’t like it
But I’m gonna say tough titties
Frankenstein is my mother in law
Frankenstein is my mother in law

Wrestler

You can be a wrestler
You can be human
You can be a wrestler
You can be a mercenary
I’ve got this monkey now
You can be a wrestler
You can be a messenger
You can be an investigator
You can be a method actor
Don’t get too hungry
Go eat cereal
Go eat my Cheerios
With a banana
Ooh I’m in love now
Ooh I can lend
You anything
All night imaginations
Ooh I can be it
No I can’t be afraid
Imagine we scuba dive
Swim with fish swim with sharks
Down inside the freaky blue
Swim with whales sea lions
Find a world inside the sea
Don’t panic we’ll come back
Find our way up to the surface
Don’t panic we’ll come back
Live inside some newfound purpose
I get it, you’re not ready
We can wait until it’s perfect
Don’t panic we’ll carry
Everything that we can hold
On these strongman backs
Ooh I can be it
Ooh we can be anything
Ooh we can go without dinner
In our imagination

Mannequin

Can we really see
Everything that gets me
To your
Eyes and belly too
Everything that gets into my mind
It’s a mannequin baby
It’s a mannequin heaven doll
It’s a mannequin can’t you see?
Can you just mention?
Practice can’t bring anything
You can get out of a dead sleep
Gyrate baby
Now you can’t imagine anything
It’s a mannequin baby
It’s a mannequin in your eyes
It’s a mannequin
How did she get in your head tonight
It’s a mannequin sitting in my favorite chair
How did she get there?
How did she get there?
There’s a mannequin making omelets
In my hallways
How did she get hold of my grandma’s recipe?
There’s a mannequin in my bathtub
There’s a mannequin in my car
Is she my girlfriend?
Is she my best friend?
There’s a man again in my bed
Wait where did I go again?
There’s a man again in my chair
There’s a man again in my in my
Wait, wait he’s got plastic skin

Rat In My Wallet
02:28

Got a rat in my wallet
He has all the things I need to live
Got a rat in my wallet
He has all the time in the world to live right
Got a rat in my wallet
He has everything I need
And he’s broken
And he’s broken
Every fight
Knows who will die, can’t abide
Every night I get inside holy time
Every night I burn myself
Got a rat in my wallet
He has everything I need to understand
Got a rat in my wallet
He has everything I need
All the answers
He has all the answers
Got a rack for my white dress flowing wild
Got me taking the bad examples let me down
Gotta find it go to the better place somehow
I’m in a world of trouble now
Now
Diamond makers sit around
Never let that needle down

Snowman on Rollerskates
02:04
|
|||
Every day in every way
I try to be a better version
Of a snowman with no eyes
He can’t see what’s coming
He takes me by surprise
He takes me by surprise
Every day in other ways
I try to be a snowman on rollerskates
I can’t survive the winter
Without shoes and without lingering
I love you baby
You know you
Have something in your teeth
I get a kick pulling lint off of your sweater
I am control freak probably
But you like the way I make you my
Baby
Baby baby baby
I am control freak probably
But you like the way I make you my
Baby
Baby baby baby
I’m a snowman on two skates
You’re a snowman with no fingertips
Put gloves on the end of those sticks
Because it’s sure getting cold outside
Baby it’s getting cold outside

Samurai
02:48
|

Here comes summer love
You’ll take that summer ride
Here comes summer love
You’ll see the shine inside
Here comes a centipede
He’s got a lady’s basket
He is an allegory
Just like an outlaw
My love comes in colors sparkly
My love my love
My love’s got himself
My love can’t be noticed
Simmering simmering simmering, ahh
Bring it back to town get it back again
There’s a cattle run creeping close now
It’s a camera in a lady’s garden
It’s a camera in a lady’s garden
It’s samurai season
What’s on the television?
I don’t know what to watch
Unless you’re watching out for me
We both are tied to this idea
We’ve gotta go before this snowman melts away
Each time I pray I can’t afford
A trip to the dentist’s office
I gotta let her know
I gotta let you know
I’ve got to let you know
It’s a samurai
Oooh

My Face
02:27
|

Let light out of my face
Let light out of my face
Get out of the way
Get out of my face
Let light slip away
Let it be erased
Help me get away
Make me stay and pray
There’s nothing in my way
I’ll stand her unamazed
Get out of the way
Get out of my face
You’ve always been insane
I can’t help but take a taste
Watch for the day
Don’t be afraid
Let light out of my face
Let light out of my face

Rats and Mice
02:03
|

You’ve got this itty bitty mouse friend
Your mouse friend is driving a canary like a ship
He’s got three cheeses to snack on
Three cheeses to whack on
And everybody knows it
Little mouse friend you are living in my pantry
It’s a little freaky always living off me
You’ve got a little rat friend
He’s dripping in the bathtub again
He’s got his little basket
What’s he gonna put it in it?
What’s he gonna put it in it?
Little rats and mice
They get down with big guitars
Little rats and mice they get and party like
Rats and mice party like it’s 1975
Little rats and mice
Little rats and mice
What do they do in the night?
Sticking around like little friends
They have all the fun
Then the sun comes up again
Rats and mice
They live their tiny secret lives
Rats and mice
They live with funny sexy wives
Rats and mice
Live in their tiny secret lives
Rats and mice
They live with funny sexy wives
What’s a rat gonna put in a basket?
Can’t you understand?
Just cheese
