Day-o, Day-ay-ay-o

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o

Day, me say day, me say day, me say day...
Daylight come and me wan' go home

A beautiful bunch a' ripe banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Hide the deadly black tarantula
Daylight come and me wan' go home

It's six foot, seven foot, eight foot BUNCH!
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot BUNCH!
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Day, me say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day...
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home
Come, Mister Tally Man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan' go home

Me say day, me say day-ay-ay-o
Daylight come and me wan' go home

[ShadowBrain]

Yeah, I watched Beetlejuice on TV the other day.

O-Oh
O-O-Oh
O-O-Oh
O-Oh

Dead, on my head
Wasting time, on my own
Sleep, rescue me
Take me back, to my home

(Oh take me home!)

For the times
That you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear, slap you on the face and
Enjoy the show

O-Oh
O-O-Oh
O-O-Oh
O-Oh

Cheese
Smells so good
On a burnt piece of lamb
[bundle of sticks] of the year
Who could beat up your man

For the times
That you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear
Slap you on the face
And enjoy the show

Oh, this dope nose

O-Oh
O-O-Oh
O-O-Oh
O-Oh

For the times
That you wanna go and
Bust rhymes real slow
I'll appear
Slap you on the face
And enjoy the show

Oh, this dope nose

O-Oh
O-O-Oh
O-O-Oh
O-Oh


Man, is this song ever stuck in my head.

[Weegee]

And the sign said,
"Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply."
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why.
He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man.
I think you'll do."
So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that.
Ha, me workin' for you."

Whoa, sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scen'ry.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

And the sign said,
"Anybody caught trespassin'
Will be shot on sight."
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house,
"Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out,
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he'd tell you to your face,
'Man, you're some kind of sinner.'"

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

Now, hey you, Mister, can't you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat.
You can't even watch. No, you can't even..
You ain't supposed to be here.
The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card
To get inside."

And the sign said, "Everybody welcome.
Come in, kneel down and pray."
And when the passed around the plate at the end of it all,
I didn't have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign.
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me.
I'm alive and doin' fine."

Whoo! Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Blockin' out the scenery.
Breakin' my mind.
Do this. Don't do that.
Can't you read the sign?

Sign, sign.
Everywhere a sign.
Sign, sign...

Well I first came along with Donkey Kong
And that's way, way back (echo: back) in '81
In '83 came Luigi
In a game of my own to hook up with me
Now I'm on your screens, I got a brand new song (echo: song)
Learn the words, sing along
Since you all know who's the star of the show
Well let me hear you say "Go, Mario, Go!"

Faster than a speeding bullet
More powerful than a locomotive
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound

Go! Go! Go! Go! (Mario!)

Now I've crossed the mountains, and skies above (echo)
All because the lady loves

Mario's on his way and he's comin' to meet ya
Bring 'em all, bring along, bring the whole gang (echo)
And let 'em try to stop me if they can
But since you all know who's the star of the show

No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone
No where to collapse the lung
Breathes a doubt in everyone

Why don't we do it in the road
Why don't we do it in the road

Why don't we do it in the road
No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road

True artistry.

[CrossEyed7]

Creepa!
Who calls you a nincompoopa?
Koopa
I'm the pain who plays the game
And knocks you for a loopa.

I'm Koopa, Koopa
(He's Koopa, Koopa)

Koopa! Koopa!
King of the afternoons!
(He's Koopa, Koopa)

I'm Koopa, Koopa
(It's Koopa, Koopa)

Koopa! Koopa!
King of the cartoons!

I've got the show you'd better watch.
Even when you're grounded.

- "Koopa! Koopa!")-

This is one show I would love
-Baby you'll be hell-yoopa,-

King Koopa, Koopa.

King Koopa (screamed): It's my show now! HAH!

[Weegee]

She's not a girl who misses much
Do do do do do do, oh yeah
She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane

The man in the crowd with the multicoloured mirrors
On his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes while his hands are busy
Working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

I need a fix 'cause I'm going down
Down to the bits that I left uptown
I need a fix cause I'm going down
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun
Mother Superior jumped the gun

Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot
Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

(When I hold you in my arms)
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

And when I feel my finger on your trigger
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

I know nobody can do me no harm
Oooooooooh, oh yeah!

Happiness (is a warm gun, momma)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

Yes it is, gun!
Happiness (is a warm gun)
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot

Happiness (is a warm gun)
is a warm gun, yeeeaahhh!

[ShadowBrain]

Have you seen her? So fine and pretty
Fooled me with her style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes, it's love in the third degree
Ooh, baby baby
Won't-cha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby baby
Ah, come on! Take a chance
You're old enough to

Dance the night away
Whoa, come on dance, dance, dance the night away

A live wire, barely a beginner
But just watch that lady go
She's on fire,
'Cause dancin' gets her higher than anything else she knows

Ooh, baby baby
Won't-cha turn your head my way?
Ooh, baby baby
Well don't skip romance
'Cause you're old enough to

Dance the night away
Oh-oh-oh come on dance, dance, dance the night away

Oh, oh-oh-oh oh yeah

Dance the night away
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Ah come on baby (Dance the night away)
Dance, dance, dance the night away
Uh, come on baby, baby (Dance the night away)
Dance, dance, dance the night away

Wish me luck: I'm hoping to make this song a quasi-motif in one of my books.

[Weegee]

Luck hath been wished.


Well I’m a stranger here in this place called Earth
And I was sent down here to discover the worth
Of your little blue planet third from the sun
Come on and show me what you’ve done

We got the aero plane, we got the automobile
We got sky scraper buildings made of glass and steel
We’ve got synthetic food that nearly tastes real
And a little white pill that makes you feel
Hey, A whole lot better when you get out of bed
You take one in the morning for the long day ahead
We got everything everybody needs to survive
Surely the good life has arrived

I think your atmosphere is hurting my eyes
And your concrete mountains are blacking the skies
Now I don’t say that you’ve been telling me lies
But why do I hear those children’s cries

I’m a stranger here, I’m just looking around

I see the aero planes carrying the bombs
Why, you’ve even found people to drop them on
You know you can’t keep what you take by force
But it’s only my first impression of course.

Well I’m a stranger here on your planet Earth

We got the rivers and the mountains and the valleys and the trees
We got the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea
We got the –
Oh you crazy fools don’t you know you had it made
You were living in paradise
But take it from one who knows
Who knows the gates of Heaven can close
I only pray that you take my advice
Because Paradise won’t come twice.

Well I’m a stranger here in this place called Earth
And I was sent down here to discover the worth
Of your little blue planet third from the sun
I think I’ll go back home where I come from...

[ShadowBrain]

Get up
Like this
Just like this
Do ya feel it?
Just like this

Do you wanna catch the vibe?
That's keepin me alive
I'm followin' these fatass beats until I die
Fill 'em with tension, the sick dimension
I rumble the earth with the lowered suspension
Just watch the ground move, let the sound prove
That it ain't fake when the girls get naked
Don't call it a comeback, we bring that beat back
And we make sure John kept them beats fat
A lyrical rampage, burnin' your headset
Open your mind, my rhymes ain't dead yet
I want ya to stand up, and put them hands up
And break it down cause you're pumpin' my band up

Like this
Just like this
Get up

Music is key
It's the way we're set free
From all this world is throwin' at me

The rhythm's so insane flowin' through your vein
Triggerin' that neck poppin' nerve up in your brain
I don't even know ya, but came to show ya
The Bizkit's Limp when the night is over
We shake the whole place, make this earthquake
And it ain't fake when we start the riots
Rock the bells, psycho females
Doin' time, blowin up the phoneline
Call it a stampede, comin' to your town
We ain't gonna hold back, we're comin' to get down
I want ya to stand up, and put them hands up
And break it on down cause you're pumpin' my band up

Like this
Just like this
Get up

Music is key
It's the way we're set free
From all this world is throwin' at me
And I'll do what it takes
If I make some mistakes
It's okay cuz it's all just the way it should be.

Limp Bizkit's in the house y'all
Yo John, bring that beat back
Just like this
Do ya feel it?
Just like this
Yo bring that beat back

Music is key
It's the way we're set free
From all this world is throwin' at me
And I'll do what it takes if I make some mistakes
It's okay cuz it's all just the way it should be

I wish I could figure out what part of the brain it is that makes me--or anybody--voluntarily and repeatedly listen to bad ****ster rap.

[CrossEyed7]

Brain wave, main wave
Psycho got a high kick
Collect, select
Show me your best set

Crystal, blister
It's all over now
Psycho cane
You're so keen
Need some more candy cane

Cold cake, cold break
Freak got a high kick
Mr. Twister
Moist with roistering

Stick it up
Take it up
Step aside and see the world
Effect has defects
Take a bow to the moon (Bow-wow to the moon)

Morning rays, hairspray queens
Get on to their way to their nests, the west
Honest, they once had a dream
Belles of society, in the cell of their unity
Cornet'n spinet
The sound flows, flow to they home
Dragged by the power of dreams
That power is yet unknown

Ladies and gentlemen! Thanks for coming to our show tonight. Can you imagine who's on the bass? It's... Miss... TWISTER!!

[WarpRattler]

Hell yes, Twister Remix.

I've been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all the old ones
Till they've all been done in
Now I'm just looking
Then I'm gone with the wind
Endlessly searching for an original sin

You can dance forever, you got a fire in your feet
But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough
You can fly and never land and never need to sleep
But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough
It's not enough to make the nightmares go away
It's not enough to make the tears run dry
It's not enough to live a little better every day
Everything that they taught us was nothing but lies
Everything they they brought us was nothing but bribes
(But it'll all be over now)

All I wanted was a piece of the night
I never got an equal share
When the stars are out of sight
And the moon is down
The natives are so restless tonight

I've been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all the old ones
Till they've all been done in
Now I'm just looking
Then I'm gone with the wind
Endlessly searching for an original sin

You can lose yourself in pleasure 'til your body's going numb
But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough
You can always take whatever you conceivably could want
But will it ever be enough? You know that it'll never be enough
It's not enough to make the nightmares go away
It's not enough to make the tears run dry
It's not enough to live a little better every day
Everything that they taught us was nothing but lies
Everything that they brought us was nothing but bribes
(But the lies are over now)

All I wanted was a piece of the night
It never had to get so dark
When the stars are out of sight
And the moon is down
The natives are so restless tonight

I've been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all the old ones
Till they've all been done in
Now I'm just looking
For an original sin
I've been looking for the ultimate crime
Infinite victims, infinitesimal time
And I'm so very guilty for no reason or rhyme
So now I'm just looking
And I'm killing some time
Endlessly searching for the ultimate crime

I've been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since I've done all the old ones
Till they've all been done in
Now I'm just looking
Then I'm gone with the wind
Endlessly searching for an original sin

I'm applying for a license to thrill
Going out on the edge, moving in for the kill
They'll be hell to pay someday
So put it all on the bill
Cause we'll always be paying, and paying until
We're beyond expiration, with a license to thrill

I've been looking for an origial sin

[Weegee]

You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out
If it were easy as fishin'
You could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar
Chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun
Just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid
And we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
And we be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Take good care of my business
When I'm away, every day whoo!
You get up every morning
From your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above
And people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time
You can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
If you ever get annoyed
Look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day
And I'll be...
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business...
