It was a night like this forty million years ago
I lit a cigarette, picked up a monkey, start to go
The sun was spitting fire, the sky was blue as ice
I felt a little tired, so I watched 'Miami Vice'
I walked a dinosaur, I walked a dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur

I met you in a cave, you were painting buffalo
I said I'd be your slave, follow wherever you go
That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars
You fell asleep, I stayed awake and watched the passing cars
I walked a dinosaur, I walked a dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody walk the dinosaur
One night I dreamed of New York
You and I roasting blue pork
In the Statue of Liberty's torch
Elvis landed in a rocket, rocket, rocket ship
Healed a couple of leapers and disappeared
But where was his beard
A shadow from the sky, much too big to be a bird
A screaming, crashing noise louder than I've ever heard
It looked like two big silver trees that somehow learned to soar
Suddenly a summer breeze and a mighty lion's roar
I killed a dinosaur, I killed a dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur
Open the door, get on the floor
Everybody kill the dinosaur

2.11 Mph (Abe Zapp Ruder Version)
Lee Harvey O. didn't have no daddy
He never caught a break, he never drove a Caddy
Joined the Marines to learn a skill
And that he did, he learned how to kill
At eleven miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
Eleven miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like a shower
At eleven miles an hour
JFK went down to Dallas
To cool some heels in the oil palace
Unfriendly country, but he was not afraid
He would wave to the people
>From a passing motorcade
At eleven miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
Eleven miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like a shower
At eleven miles an hour
JFK told Kruschev I'll leave Castro alone
If you take away those missles
They're too damn close to home
The CIA, the Cubans and the underworld bosses
Decided that was it, they had to cut their losses
At eleven miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
Eleven miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like a shower
At eleven miles an hour
Lee Harvey O. was made to order
A radical nut, a drifter and a boarder
Earl Warren got a version out fast
America was happy, the patsy had been cast
At eleven miles an hour
Such a deadly speed
Eleven miles an hour
At the time and place agreed
They pulled their limousine
Down Elm Street slow and clean
Lead fell like a shower
At eleven miles an hour
Eleven miles an hour
3.Anything Can Happen
She took me in the bedroom
To show me her computer
She asked me if I liked it
I told her she was cuter
She wasn't that great
But it was getting kind of late
She talked about her father
Said he never really liked her
She said that she'd been married
To a schizophrenic biker
I thought I'd say goodbye
But then I saw her start to cry
We danced by the light of her video screen
She looked me in the eyes and said 'Why me?'
On any given night anything can happen
When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall
With all of the people yelling and clapping
Anything can happen, anything at all
She drove a baby blue Ferrari
She was all silk and diamonds
Living at the top, no need for social climbing
I asked her for a ride
She said 'Right here by my side'
We went to her place overlooking the bay
She said 'There's just one bed
Would that be okay?'
On any given night anything can happen
When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall
With all of the people yelling and clapping
Anything can happen, anything at all
Successful romance comes when you leave it up to chance
There's nothing you can do
When the fire burns low and your heart turns cold
It comes to you out of the blue
On any given night anything can happen
When the underdog is hungry the favorite might fall
With all of the people yelling and clapping
Anything can happen, anything at all
4.Anytime Lisa
作詞:Donald Edward Fagenson, David Jay Weiss
Anytime Lisa was what the guys named her
You could have her tonight
All you had to do was claim her
There was nothing to stop them from taking her out
Night after night they kissed her and tossed her about
You could prove you're a man
They said that anyone can
So everybody took a piece of anytime Lisa
Anytime Lisa
Anytime Lisa just couldn't refuse them
A girl wants love, and guys just abuse them
To be in their arms beats being alone
Still it wasn't like having someone of her own
You could prove you're a man
They said that anyone can
So everybody took a piece of anytime Lisa
Anytime Lisa
Phone rings, it's another voice
Brief flings, but what's her choice
She's by herself and there's no one else
Anytime Lisa, I'm not like the others
Please understand me, I don't want to be a one night lover
There's something inside you that I want to touch
Girl, you just gotta trust me, I want you so much
No need to prove I'm a man
I'm just your number one fan
I want more than just a piece of anytime Lisa
Anytime Lisa
Anytime Lisa
Anytime yeah
Anytime Lisa
5.Boy's Gone Crazy
Johnny's on top of the shopping mall
Pretending like he's gonna fall
Just throwing stones at a neon sign
Saying over and over 'She was mine all mine'
The boy's gone crazy, it's not just a phase
He's one step over the line
The boy's gone crazy, he's seen his better days
She's really gone for good this time
Can't keep his mind on his schoolwork
Won't tell anybody just how bad he's hurt
Keeps popping them quarters in a pinball game
Doing all he can do to forget her name
The boy's gone crazy, it's not just a phase
He's one step over the line
The boy's gone crazy, he's seen his better days
She's really gone for good this time
Well he sees her face in the dark
And he sees it in the moon
With every beat of his heart
He knows his life is ruined
Out on the highway doing ninety-eight
Radio blasting as he's tempting fate
He swears he saw an angel in a black Corvette
She was blowing him kisses through her cigarette
The boy's gone crazy, it's not just a phase
He's one step over the line
The boy's gone crazy, he's seen his better days
She's really gone for good this time

7.Earth To Doris
作詞:David Was, Don Was
At the 'Loveless Motel And Restaurant', out on Highway 33
I met a woman there one night
At the 'Loveless Motel And Restaurant', out on Highway 33
I met a woman there one night
The matchbook says, 'Call For Reservations'
Country ham and biscuits, delicious steaks
She kissed me like she was hungry
So we got a room, playing these tapes of her husband
In the morning, she looked like a horse
No moon just, just diesel trucks
Smoking little cigars, she says, 'Doesn't he sound like Elvis?'
She makes champagne out of 7-Up and cheap wine like a chemist
Next to one of those insect electric chairs
Her skin gleaming blue, everytime a fly died
I read in the funnies, I laughed anyway
'Something's burning somewhere' I said, 'Yes, two, two coffees'
'Yeah, it's us' she says, 'You both want coffee?' the waitress
says
Right Doris?
That's perfect on this cold, dim, fluorescent morning
And a couple of those donuts over there, right Doris?
Earth to Doris, Earth to Doris
Country ham and biscuits, delicious steaks
She kissed me like she was hungry
So we got a room, playing these tapes of her husband
In the morning, she looked like a horse
No moon just, just diesel trucks
Smoking little cigars, she says, 'Doesn't he sound like Elvis?'
She makes champagne out of 7-Up and cheap wine like a chemist
Next to one of those insect electric chairs
Her skin gleaming blue, everytime a fly died
I read in the funnies, I laughed anyway
'Something's burning somewhere' I said, 'Yes, two, two coffees'
'Yeah, it's us' she says, 'You both want coffee?' the waitress
says
Right Doris?
That's perfect on this cold, dim, fluorescent morning
And a couple of those donuts over there, right Doris?
Earth to Doris, Earth to Doris
8.Love Can Be Bad Luck
When two cars crash you just pull them apart
But when lovers come together
They get tangled heart to heart
And nothing and no one can make them come unstuck
Oh, love can be bad luck
Love can be bad luck
When glass breaks you just sweep it away
But when lovers start to shatter
They keep breaking day by day
They pick up the pieces and try not to get cut
Oh, love can be bad luck
Love can be bad luck
Medicine won't cure the pain
It doesn't pay to pin the blame
It still will feel the same
Passion burns like any flame
Disillusion stakes its claim
Those are the rules of the game
9.Out Come The Freaks
作詞:David Was, Don Was
Little Rita and her sister Bette
Met some mook who drove a purple Chevy
He took them for a ride one summer night
Told the girls he was a big producer
Truth be told, he was a cheap seducer
They drove up to the hills to see the lights, yeah right
Two days later they were reading him his rights
Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks y'all
Out come the freaks
Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, y'all yeah
Tara Venus was a rent-a-stripper
You can feast your eyes but you couldn't grip her
She went nowhere without Jack the Human Knife
He'd slice you silly if you got too friendly
If you value living better treat her gently
Once she does her sexy cha-cha, let her go
She will tempt you, but it's just part of the show
Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks
Out come the freaks y'all yeah
Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks, y'all yeah
Bobby Maggot was a big attorney
Through the courtroom down to hell he journeyed
Bald headed piece of garbage that he was
He'll defend you if your money's honest
Says he'll do his best but that's no promise
Off he goes in his Corvette to get a tan
Oh Lord, I ask You what kind of beast is man?
Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks
Out come the freaks, out come the freaks y'all
Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks
Out come the freaks, oh yeah
Woodwork squeaks and out come the freaks
Woodwork squeaks and out comes Trotsky
Out comes Trotsky, yeah oh
Woodwork squeaks and out comes Coltrane
Coltrane, Coltrane, out comes Coltrane
Woodwork squeaks and out comes Che Guevara
Che Guevara, Che Guevara, oh

Out come the freaks
10.Robot Girl
作詞:David Was, Don Was
Robot girl, robot girl
Robot girl, robot girl
Robot girl, robot girl
Robot girl, robot girl
TV screen faces aren't pretty it's true
But she will do anything I tell her to
Her conversation's not what you'd call clever
But she can't contradict me, oh no never
Robot girl, robot girl
Move your arms a few degrees north
Robot girl, robot girl
Now gently back and forth
Robot girl, robot girl
You know just where to scratch
Robot girl, robot girl
We're such a perfect match
I'm in a whirl, you're my robot girl
I'm in a whirl, you're my robot girl
Programmed for love, she can be quite tender
See how I'm kind, nothing offends her
She vacuums the carpet and doesn't complain
She'll walk the dog in the pouring rain
Robot girl, robot girl
Move your arms a few degrees north
Robot girl, robot girl
Now gently back and forth
Robot girl, robot girl
You know just where to scratch
Robot girl, robot girl
We're such a perfect match
You are my world, you're my robot girl
You are my world, you're my robot girl
Don't have to worry about diamonds and furs
There's no confusion about what's mine and what's hers
When she fixes her limbs on my backside I just shudder
She goes through my blood like a hot knife through butter
Robot girl, robot girl
Move your arms a few degrees north
Robot girl, robot girl
Now gently back and forth
Robot girl, robot girl
Oh, you know just where to scratch
Robot girl, robot girl
We're such a perfect match
You are my world, you're my robot girl
I'm in a whirl, you're my robot girl

11.Shadow And Jimmy
作詞:Elvis Costello, David Was
Shadow and Jimmy
Were always yesterday's news
Jimmy's a bowler
Shadow rents out his green bowling shoes
Late Friday night
When the bars are all shuttered and dark
He shadows back Jimmy
To the lot in the lost trailer park
For Shadow and Jimmy
Every weekend, end up the same
If it's Saturday night
Then it must be the hockey game
After cold beer and barbecued ribs
The night is complete
With wrestling stories and elegant bones
That are tired of walking and on their way home
And they talk about the women
And they look at the girls
They'll never know
The ways of the world
They've got a mouthful of much obliged
And a handful of gimme
And the love for each other
Oh, Shadow and Jimmy
For Shadow and Jimmy
Now the story is told
There's nothing to hold on to
And no one to hold
For men without women
Are like fish without water to swim in
With their eyes bugging out, they flop on the beach
And look up at the girls who are just out of reach
And they talk about the women
And they look at the girls
They'll never know
The ways of the world
They've got a mouthful of much obliged
And a handful of gimme
And the love for each other
Oh, Shadow and Jimmy
12.Somewhere In America There's A Street Named After
At night only crickets
No prowlers, no sirens
No pinky ring hustlers
No angel dust Byrons
No bars on the windows
No sabre-toothed neighbors
Just good simple folk
In a rainbow of flavors
Somewhere in America
There's a street named after my dad
And the home we never had
I'll work for Mr. Fowler
Making fifty cents an hour
And I'll save what I can
So I can get a piece of land
I'll raise some cows and carrots
Get ahead on my own merits
And if I fall I'll take it like a man
Somewhere in America
There's a street named after my dad
And the home we never had
No more bland TV dinners
No ten car collisions
No showbiz beginners
Making global decisions
No daycare Fellinis
No fast food assassins
No billboard bikinis
Just truth and compassion
Somewhere in America
There's a street named after my dad
And the home we never had
The home we never had somewhere in America
13.Spy in the House of Love
作詞:David Was, Don Was
Oh yeah
A spy in the house of love
Spy in the house of love
I don't know what I'm gonna do to see, yeah
Spy in the house of love
The air was filled with suspicion
She poured us two martinis and tried to guess my mission
I pretended to know nothing it's best to use discretion
But she turned her floodlight eyes on me and demanded a
confession
I told her I am a spy in the house of love
Gathering clues to be used in the war of the affections
I am a spy in the house of love
I won't be refused I'm waiting for your heart's defection
Spy
I know yeah
In the house of love
Look at him
I saw, yes I did, everything that pleased her
I recorded every movement and plotted how to seize her
I used a tiny camera, I thought I'd Japanese her
I made a voodoo doll of her and sat around and squeezed her
I told her I am a spy in the house of love
Gathering clues to be used in the war of the affections
I am a spy in the house of love
I won't be refused I'm waiting for your heart's defection
I'll read your mail, I'll tap your phone
I'm on your trail you're never alone
One day you'll slip up and leave a lip print on a coffee cup
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah
I'm a spy
But I just can't help myself
Spy in the house of love
Spy in the house of love
I used a tiny camera, I thought I'd Japanese her
I made a voodoo doll of her and sat around and squeezed her
I told her I am a spy in the house of love
Gathering clues to be used in the war of the affections
I am a spy in the house of love
I won't be refused I'm waiting for your heart's defection
I am a spy in the house of love
Gathering clues to be used in the war of the affections

Used a little tiny camera I thought I'd Japanese her
I am a spy in the house of love
14.Wedding Vows In Vegas
作詞:David Was, Don Was
Plastic flowers in her hair
Don't they make a lovely pair
Met last night at the slot machines
All night preacher does the ceremony
Him in leather, her in jeans
His wife throws Minute Rice, her tears are phony
But wedding vows in Vegas
You've got to be courageous
To play the odds that love will win
Aren't meant to last for ages
Whatever city you're in
A Polaroid's an extra twenty
Shoot the works man, we've got plenty
Thanks a heap and come again
Witness is another ten
Buffet dinner, nothing but the best
And check into some strip love nest
But wedding vows in Vegas
You've got to be courageous
Aren't meant to last for ages
To play the odds that love will win
Whatever city you're in
Ice cold Chablis, cable TV
How can this be?
Baby, then it's you and me
Continental breakfast free, it's you
And check into some strip love nest
Buffet dinner, nothing but the best
But wedding vows in Vegas
Aren't meant to last for ages
To play the odds that love will win
You've got to be courageous
Whatever city you're in
15.What Up, Dog?
作詞:Sweetpea Atkinson, Harry Bowena, David Was, Don Was
What up, dog? What up, dog? What up, dog?

Automatic sensors in the President's skull

What up, dog? What up, dog?
What up, dog? What up, dog?

Yeah, you see I just got this new pit bull terrier
The thing's better than a credit card
Went to the gas station the other day
Got a couple gallons of gas, some oil, spark plugs, six-pack
The man says, 'That'll be 15.41'
I, I say, 'Well, god, goddamn, I forgot my wallet
But I did bring my credit card'
What up, dog?
