Ladies and Gentlemen...
The President of the United States!
"Fella Americans...Doot, Doot, Doot..."
He's been sick!--Doot! Doot!
And I think his wife is gonna bring him
Some chicken soap

A moon beam through the prune In June
Reveals your chest I see your lovely beans
And in that magic go-kart I bite your neck
The cheese I have for you, my dear
Is real and very new

And you'll be my Duchess
My Duchess of Prunes

I'm looking through the prune in June
Reveals your chest I see your lovely beans
And in that magic go-kart I bite your neck

Cheesy, cheesy!

(This is a song about vegetables . . . they keep you regular; they're real good for ya.)

Call any vegetable
(Call any vegetable)
Call it by name
(Call any vegetable)
Call one today
(Call any vegetable)
When you get off the train
(Call any vegetable)
Call any vegetable
And the chances are good
Ooooh! The vegetable
Will respond to you

A lot of people don’t bother about their
Friends in the vegetable kingdom. they
Think: oh, ah, what can I say? what can
A person like myself say to a vegetable?
But the answer is simple, my friends:

There's a big dilemma
'Bout my Big Leg Emma, uh-huh, oh yeah
There's a big dilemma
'Bout my Big Leg Emma, uh-huh, oh yeah
She used to knock me out
Until her face broke out

There's a big dilemma
'Bout my Big Leg Emma, uh-huh, oh yeah
There's a big dilemma
'Bout my Big Leg Emma, uh-huh, oh yeah
She was my steady date
Until she put on weight
etc.

Why don'tcha do me right?
Why don'tcha do me right?
Why don'tcha do me right?
You got me pulled up tight
Why don'tcha do me right?

You got me beggin' on my knees
You got me beggin' on my knees

(One, Two, Buckle my Shoe)
(Do-dos, and yips yips, assorted improv)

I tired to find How my heart could be so blind,
(Wanna buy some Penzo?)
Dear
How could I be fooled just like the rest

Ooo-Ooo-Ooo etc., etc.,
AH-AH WA WA WA WA WA WA WAH!

I'm losin' status at the high school
I used to think that it was my school . . .
BOW WOW WOW WOW!
I was the king of every school activity
But that's no more . . . oh mama!
What will come of me?
The other night we painted posters
They played some records by the Coasters
BOW WOW WOW WOW!

(I'm dreaming...)

There's a bomb to blow yo mommy up,
A bomb for yo daddy too! (Ouch!)
A baby doll that burps 'n pees;
A case of airplane glue!
There's a hungry plastic troll,

Suzy Creamcheese, Oh, mama, now

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Once you were my one and only
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Blow your mind on too much Kool-aid
Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Here's a special request)

(Hope you enjoy it)

I tired to find How my heart could be so blind,

Dear

How could I be fooled just like the rest

You came on strong with your

Fast car and your class ring

Sad eyes and your ... ...

I fell for the whole thing

I don't regret for having met

Up with a girl who Breaks hearts

Like they were nothing at all

I've done it too

heh-heh-heh...
Have you heard the news?
(News? What news?)
Can't afford no shoes

The Mystery Man came over
An' he said: "I'm outa-site!"
He said, for a nominal service charge,
I could reach nervonna t'nite
If I was ready, willing 'n able
To pay him his regular fee
He would drop all the rest of his pressing affairs
And devote His Attention to me
But I said . . .
Look here brother,
Who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?
(Now who you jivin' with that Cosmik Debris?)

Evelyn, a modified dog
Viewed the quivering fringe of a special doily
Draped across the piano, with some surprise
