Whatcha gonna do with all that trash
I’m gonna bash the trash
Whatcha gonna do with all that trash
I’m gonna bash the trash
Whatcha gonna do with all that trash

Whatcha gonna do with all that junk
I’m gonna clunk the junk
Whatcha gonna do with all that junk

Whatcha gonna do with all of those cans
Gonna take em home and turn em into a band
And with those cans you’ll thrash and smash
That’s cause you bash the trash
Whatcha gonna do with a derelict car
Gonna turn it into a rolling guitar
And with your car-tar you will go far
That’s cause you bash the trash

The Business of Evil
03:21
|

The business of evil is very profitable
The business of evil is very profitable
Don’t tell me about your moral stand
I sold mine off for a couple of grand
All it takes is a mental shift
And you go from being bad to being bad and rich
The business of evil is very profitable
The business of evil is very profitable
And when the work is going
My coffers overflowing
The power structures are changing
My fortune is rearranging
Parents and kids are labor-rated
According to size they’re separated
The contracts just keep rolling in
‘Cause everyone wants a piece of sin
The business of evil is very profitable
The business of evil is very profitable
The business of evil is very profitable
The business of evil is very profitable
I don’t care about the ethical glitch
I’m winding up another business pitch
All those kiddies and all that cash
And everything is flowing right into my stash
It’s just a matter of economics
equity, equality: all histrionics
The cash is pure, untainted by the soil
Of those who labor, work and toil
Parents and kids are labor-rated
According to size they’re separated
The contracts just keep rolling in
‘Cause everyone wants a piece of sin
The business of evil is very profitable
The business of evil is very profitable

Saddle with a Rattle
03:14

Go and get your saddle
Your saddle with a rattle
You won’t need a paddle
You’re not going to Seattle
And the shadow of your hat’ll
Drive along the lazy cattle
In your saddle with a rattle
You’ll go rattling round the range
I went to see sweet Sue
With my hair all in a do
To ask if I could take her to the prom
I got up to her floor
And I knocked upon the door
I only got to speak to her mom
she said
Go and get a saddle
A saddle with a rattle
You won’t need a paddle
You’re not going to Seattle
And the shadow of your hat’ll
Drive along the lazy cattle
In your saddle with a rattle
You’ll go rattling round the range
I left her place confused
But soon found my pretty Suze
I hoped that I could get her mind to change
When I proposed to dance
She said there isn’t any chance
A cowgirl’s place is roaming on the range
For she’ll be
Riding on her saddle
Her saddle with a rattle
She won’t need a paddle
She’s not going to Seattle
And the shadow of her hat’ll
Drive along the lazy cattle
In her saddle with a rattle
She’ll go rattling round the range
Well I said
Who needs to dance?
The cows provide romance!
To be merry on the prairie we’ll arrange
So on my horse I’ll ride
With my cowgirl by my side
And together we’ll go rattling down the range
And we will
Go and get our saddles
Our saddles with the rattles
We don’t need no paddles
We’re not going to Seattles
And the shadows of our hat’lls
Drive along the lazy cattles
In our saddles with the rattles
We’ll go rattling round the range
Go and get your saddle yes your saddle with a rattle you don’t
Need a paddle though there’s lots of water in Seattle
In Seattle you can’t even see the shadow of your hat’ll cause
There’s never any sun it’s always raining in Seattle
Battle lazy cattle as you ride along astraddle
On your saddle with a rattle we don’t need no fiddle-faddle and you’ll
Saddle rattle battle cattle fiddle-faddle turkey wattle range
Go and get your saddle
Your saddle with a rattle
You won’t need a paddle
You’re not going to Seattle
And the shadow of your hat’ll
Drive along the lazy cattle
In your saddle with a rattle
You’ll go rattling round the range
Saddle with a rattle you’ll go rattling round the range

Gray Poodle Blues
03:37
|

I had a poodle
His color it was gray
I had a poodle
His color it was gray
So I sing the gray poodle blues
Now that he has gone away
Early in the morning
Asleep in my bed
Awakened by the fiery gaze of a furry little head, well
That’s my poodle
He’s going with the flow
If I don’t take him out
He’ll be yearning to go
Fly little poodle
Go flying through the sky
Fly little poodle
Go flying through the sky
If I sing a song about you
Your memory will never die
yeah, you know I’m talking
I’m growling
I’m barking
I’m howling
About that Gray Poodle Blues

If You Sea Turtles
05:14

If you see turtles
perhaps we could be turtles
If you sea turtles
set them free turtles
When we see turtles
And they’re seeing me turtles
We’ll flap and fly and swim through the ocean
We’ll flap and fly and float under the sea
Soaring, sailing
through the briny depths
Coming to the surface
To take a very big breath
Sailing, gliding
under the deep green sea
I’m looking at the turtle
The turtle is looking at me
If you see turtles
perhaps we could be turtles
If you sea turtles
set them free turtles
When we see turtles
And they’re seeing me turtles
Then we’ll flap and fly and swim through the ocean
As we flap and fly and float under the sea
Sailing, gliding
under the deep green sea
I’m looking at the turtle
The turtle is looking at me
If you see turtles
perhaps we could be turtles
If you sea turtles
set them free turtles
When we see turtles
And they’re seeing me turtles
Then we’ll flap and fly and swim through the ocean
As we flap and fly and float under the sea

Apricot Strut

Linus
You're the finest
More of a plus than a minus
Linus
Your highness
who leads from behind
He’s kind of tricky, and full of guile
As he leads leads you all astray, with style
Linus
your slyness
Apricots the leg-lifting way
Roxy
You’re so foxy
And I know that you’ve got the moxie
Roxy
You chew the soxies
And leave the threads behind
She likes to stand in an epic pose
And you can’t help but grab her pointy nose
Roxy
Your heterodoxy
Apricot the distaff side
When her brother comes to stay
It’s a canine holiday
Running and jumping and playing games
It’s like a poodle souffle
Linus likes to eat paper
Roxy likes to bury her bone
Then they both jump up on the couch
To bark at the ringing phone
Roxy/Linus
You’re so foxy/You’re the finest
More of a plus than a minus
Linus/Roxy
Your Highness/Missy Moxie
They are the Apricot twins
She likes to bury her bone in our bed
He’s only interested in chewing it dead
Roxy/Linus
You’re so foxy/You’re the finest
Apricots are here to stay!

As I grew up my music was
the one thing that kept me alive
Helped me wake up helped me work
held my hand when I was sad
Helped me get to school on time
You know my music is the power
the power of me
music is the power of me
It makes me sing and dance all night
You know my music is the power
the power of me
music is the power of me
It makes me sing and dance all night
Every single person in the world
Hears music every single day
And though we may not like every single song
You know that they’ve got something to say
You know my music is the power
the power of me
music is the power of me
It makes me whirl and twirl all night
You know my music is the power
the power of me
music is the power of me
It makes me sigh and fly away
You know my music
takes me to the sky
it makes my sing, makes me play
makes me feel alright
you know music
can set me free
you know my music my music
is the power of me
the power of me, yeah
Music is the power of me
Music is the power of me
Music is the power
Music is the power children
Music is the power of me
