letra de The Closer You Are
The closer you are
The brighter the stars in the sky
And, darling
I realize
That you're the one in my life
Oh oh

My heart skips a beat
Every time
You and I meet
My life, my love, my dear
I can't defeat
This yearning deep in my heart
To have only you

When I first saw you
I did adore you
And all your loving ways
But then you went away
But now you're back to stay
And my love for you grows stronger every
Day-ahhh way-ahhh way

The closer you are
The brigher the flames in my heart
And, darling
We'll never part
We'll always be in love

letra de In France
We're playin' in a tent
It's payin' the rent
If you pooch a civilian,
It's a mayor event
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

The girls is all salty
The boys is all sweet
The food ain't too shabby,
An' they piss in the street
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

They got diseases
Like you never seen
Got a mystery blow-job
Turn your peter green
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

They got some coffee,
Eatin' right through the cup,
An' when they go ka-ka
They make you stand up
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

If you're not careful,
It'll stick to your cheeks
You'll smell like a native
For a couple of weeks
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

We cannot wait
Till we go back
It gets so exciting
When the poodles 'react'
In France
Way down in France
Way on down
Way on down
In France

Never try to get yo' peter sucked
In France

letra de Sharleena
Sharleena
I'm crying
I'm crying
Crying for Sharleena
Don't you know?

I called up all my baby's friends
And asked them
Where she done went
But nobody around here seems to know
Where my Sharleena has been
Where my Sharleena has been

I'm crying
I'm crying
Crying for Sharleena
Can't you see?

I called up all my baby's friends
And asked them
Where she done went
But nobody around here seems to know
Where my Sharleena has been
Where my Sharleena has been

Ten long years I been lovin' her
Ten long years and I thought deep down in my heart she was mine
Ten long years I beloved her
Ten long years and I would call her my baby
And now, I'm always crying

Ugh!
Ugh!

I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me

I would be so delighted
I would be so delighted
If they would just
Send her on home to me

Send my baby home to me!
Send my baby home to me!
Send my baby home
Send my baby home to me!

letra de Truck Driver Divorce
Truck driver divorce!
It's very sad
(steel guitars
Usually weep all over it)

The bold & intelligent
Masters of the road
With their secret language,
And the giant
Over-sized
Mechanical
Trans-continental
Hobby-horse!

Truck driver divorce!
It's very sad!
Oh the wife!
Oh the kids!
Oh the waitress!
Oh the drive all night!

Sometimes when you get home
Some ugly lookin' son-of-a-bitch
Is trying to pooch yer
Home-town sweetheart!

Oh, go ride the bull!
Oh, go ride the bull!
Make it go up 'n down
'n when you fall off,
You can eat the mattress!

Truck driver divorce!
It's very sad!
Bust yer ass
To deliver some string beans,
Deliver some string beans,
Deliver some string beans,
To
Utah!

letra de Baby, Take Your Teeth Out
Baby take your teeth out
Try it one time
Baby take your teeth out
Try it one time
Baby take your teeth out
Leave 'em on the kitchen table

Baby take your teeth out
It'll be fine
Baby take your teeth out
It'll be fine
Baby take your teeth out
There ain't nothin' left to talk about

Baby take your teeth out
You look divine
Baby take your teeth out
You look divine
Baby take your teeth out
Go ahead and eat the label

Baby take your teeth out
I will recline
Baby take your teeth out
I will recline
Baby take your teeth out
There ain't nothin' left to talk about

Planet of My DreamsVer letra 1:40

letra de Planet of My Dreams
The planet of my dreams
The earth, my earth
Is bulging at the seams
The earth, my earth
It's full of many schemes
And as the sunlight beams
The glory of our sciences
And militant alliances
Reveal their basic worth
Along the mounds of dead appliances!

The planet of my dreams
The earth, my earth
I hear it's muffled screams
The earth, my earth
And though it often seems
From televison beams
That ignorance is rampant there
And govermental goons don't care
I know that i shall not despair
And cheat like all the rest
I'll just keep on
With what i do the best!

Cheat-cheedly-cheat! go ahead!
I can't do it!
Cheat-cheedly-cheat! go ahead!
I can't do it!
Cheat-cheedly-cheat! go ahead!
I can't do it!
Cheat-cheedly-cheat! go ahead!
I can't do it!

letra de Be in My Video
Be in my video,
Darling, every night
I will rent a cage for you
And mi-j-i-nits dressed in white
(teeny-little-tiny-little...)

Twirl around in a lap dissolve
Pretend to sing the words
I'll rent a gleaming limousine;
Release a flock of Ber-herna-herna-herna
Herna-her-nerds

Wear a leather collar
And a dagger in your ear
(Stabbin' and a-stabbin' and a-stabbin' and a-stabbin' at you-ou-ou-ou-ou)
I will make you smell the glove
And try to look sincere, then we'll

Dance the blues (Oh yes)
Let's dance the blues (We'll dance the blues)
Let's dance the blues (We'll dance them very much)
Under the megawatt moonlight

Pretend to be Chinese,
(One-hung-low)
I'll make you wear red shoes
There's a cheesy atom bomb explosion
All the big groups use

Atomic light will shine
Through an old venetian blind
Making patterens on your face,
Then it cuts to outer space

With its billions & billions &
Billions & billions and

Be in my video
Darling, every night
Everyone in cable-land
Will say you're 'outta-sight'

You can show your legs
While you're getting in the car, then
I will look repulsive
While I mangle my guitar

Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
Moo-ahhhh

Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
Moo-ahhhh

Reen-toon-teen-toon-teen-toon
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
Moo-ahhhh

Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
Moo-ahhhh
Tee-nu-nee-nu-nee,
Moo-ahhhh-wah-wah-wah!

After all the closeup shots of you
In bondage leather
They'll spray an alley with a hose
And we'll escape together

Then we'll dance the blues again (Oh yes, we'll dance the blues)
Let's dance the blues again (Sure we will)
Let's dance the blues again (We'll dance them blues)
In the middle of an alley

Let's dance your face (Let's dance your face)
Let's dance your lips (And dance your lips)
Let's dance your nose (We'll dance your nose)
And then we'll dance your sinus!

Wooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooooooo!

Frogs With Dirty Little LipsVer letra 2:46

letra de Frogs With Dirty Little Lips
Frogs with dirty little lips
Dirty little warts on their finger-tips
Dirty 'n green
Tiny 'n mean
Floppin' around
By the edge of the stream

Frogs with dirty little eyes
Dirty little tongues all covered with flies
Dirty brown
Floppin' around
Puffed up 'n bloated
When the sun goes down

Frogs with dirty little nose
Dirty little spots all over their clothes
Dirty legs
Dirty feet
Dirty little frogs is what you eat
