Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
You gotta dance to the tune of Bolivian Ragamuffin
Out take’s short breaks
Love her ’til the earth quakes
Standing on the seashore looking at the city
See the street light, dog bite your lady on the titty
At the wax museum everybody cares to see themselves
As others care to see you but nobody wants to be you baby
Corporate, cabbage head
Try and get a salad made
Hold my pickle, hold your lettuce
Special orders don’t upset us
Kickstand face, looks so evil like Knievel
Never make third base like a tongue in my old lady
Like a squatez vous and a domo arigato
Tip my hat to you rock a roller obbligatto
Stage show come in stride
Smoke a bone I’m feeling fine
Girls in heat will try and get us
Hash in bones won’t upset us
He need cash….Kick in the pants
Wanting for….Got to dance
Say it ah….To you to give us the chance
Ain’t gonna to do it…ain’t gonna to do it
