Cheesy Love Song
02:43
|
|||
Music & lyrics ©1975, 2103 by Robert Davidson
Parma-Jon:
I’m just a guy singin’ cheesy
(His name is Parma-Jon)
Singing a Cheesy Love Song
I hope that I will find
Someone who deep inside
Will be turned on by my
Cheesy Love Song
And my love must know about Cheeses
(Mozzarella, yeah)
Edam and never be Bleu
Roquefort and Swiss are fine
Can’t get that Cheddar out of my mind
Even the processed cheeses are fine with me, Parma-Jon
Girl:
What does this mean to me?
I’m just a normal girl from Tennessee
I like bagels with Philadelphia Cream Cheese
I think Swiss really smells and I think
Brie is really too gooey.
Swiss is smelly
Parma-Jon:
You should try some
Both:
Time to try some right now
Parma-Jon:
Try some Gouda in the morning
(Velveeta for lunch)
Munster for supper is fine
You should eat Brie at night
Watching TV cottage cheese is alright
Camembert turns your wrongs into right
Vous ete mon fromage
Girl:
And now I know the good life
I want to marry you and be your wife
I just want to be in cheeses for the rest of my life
I am your Limburger Lady your Cheeseburger baby, yeah
Both:
Oh how cheesy
Oh so cheesy
Oh how cheesy, yeah!!!

One day sailing a boat,
A piranha fish
Jumped up at my throat

I pulled out my “GC”
And claspered his fins
And then I was free (hooray!!)
Dads: I got a Grasper Clasper at home

Skippy The Train
04:24
|

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2013 by Robert Davidson
Haaa....chooo!
Haaa...choo... ha choo choo chooo....
Look what you’ve done with your sneezing
you’ve created a train
we know that the train's an invention
of the mouth and the brain
But this one is running wild
and it may not come back
we have created a train
but we’ve forgotten the track
I’m wondering “Why??”
didn't we make a track
how do we get it back?
The Invention of the Train.
It’s got a pigeon conductor and an engineer moose
a cargo of old forest rangers
inside the caboose
It’s got a silver locomotive
that runs off of old shoes
and in the first class cabin’s
there’s a zoo keeper’s truce.
I’m wondering “Why??”
didn't we make a track
how do we get it back?
The Invention of the Train.
We have busses, trucks and cars
and we even have air-o-planes
and we can go to Mars
so why the hell do we need trains
Why??”
didn't we make a track
how do we get it back?
The Invention of the Train.
Now the train’s coming toward us
coming straight down our way
It ain’t for Atchinson, Topeka or for Sante Fe
and we’re in a lot of trouble
and I think we should pray
‘cos the train’s coming toward us
and we’re right in it’s way
I’m wondering “Why??”
didn't we make a track
how do we get it back?
The Invention of the Train.
PART 2:
SKIPPY THE TRAIN IS SADLY DEAD
Skippy the train is sadly dead
He has gone to meet his maker
It wasn’t anything that he said
It wasn’t anything that he did
Skippy the Train was always on schedule
Skippy the Train was kind to little animals
Ooooooo
Skippy the Train helped his country
Skippy the Train was a statesman, too
Skippy the Train was in the Peace Corps
Doing the best a train could do.
Skippy the Train lived by the Bible
Skippy the Train, hadn’t a rival
Skippy the Train, often caught cows
In his cow catcher, million miles an hour
Mooooooo
Skippy was a Train (Skippy Train)
Now he’s dead
Such a kindly train
(Skippy Train)
Now he’s dead
And the morale of the story is....
You’d better watch it when you sneeze
(when you sneeze)

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2103 by Robert Davidson
Dad: First you take out the rod and you put on the reel
Put the bait on the hook for the fishie’s meal
Then you cast out to sea for your fishy steal
Thanks to “Fish Funk”, you’ve got Fish Appeal.
Dad & Son: And now you sit there and wait for the fish
Think of the fish in a dish
Son: with lemon!
Dad & Son: Maybe trout or halibut, rainbow grilled and buttered up
Son: I hope I don’t catch a cold .
Dad & Son:
We’ve been here for two weeks and we haven’t caught any
Fish: Boy that sure was fast
Dad: All I ask for is one now, that isn’t too many
Fish: It’s one too many, ooo
Dad & Son: Maybe more Fish Funk is necessary
Fish: We love Fish Funk ooo
Dad & Son: Spraying Fish Funk makes those fishes so merry
Fish” Merry fish!! ;)
Dad & Son: And now you sit there and wait for the fish
Think of the fish in a dish
Son: with lemon!
Dad & Son: Maybe trout or halibut, rainbow grilled and buttered up
Son: What are those things over there??
Madeline Fish: How you do, my name’s Madeline
I’m a fish from the sea
I came here to give myself in
And I brought my school of fishy friends
(She fish dances)
Dad & Son:
Fish is Man's Best Friend Contrary to Rumor
Fishes: A fish story rumor
Dad & Son: Take a Fish Out to lunch get to know ‘em much sooner
Fishes: We’d like to know you
All: Get a bottle of win and a bowlful of tuna
Fishes: Only white wine, please
All: You’ll be closer to fish, a whole lot sooner
Fishes: Much sooner
All: And now you sit there and wait for the fish
Think of the fish in a dish
With lemon!
Maybe trout or halibut, rainbow grilled and buttered up
Son: Fishes are Man’s Best Friend.
Madeline: A fishes life can be glamorous
When we’re out of the sea
Your table manners don’t bother us
But keep in mind we’re strictly white wine, please!
We’re strictly white wine
We’re strictly white wine
We’re strictly white wine, please!

Another Friday Night

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2103 by Robert Davidson
Another Friday Night, You’re still at home
While you sit and watch your telephone
But nobody calls, you watch the walls
And you hope that someday they will change.
Oh, what a sad way to be, what a sad thing to know
You’ve got no place to go
It shows in your eye that there are no surprises
Unless you are willing to make compromises.
By Saturday, it’s still the same
And you got no one else to blame
And by Saturday night, you start a fight,
But there's no one there to hit you back.
Oh, what a sad way to be, what a sad thing to know
You’ve got no place to go
It shows in your eye that there are no surprises
Unless you are willing to make compromises.
So what do you do, listen to me
I will rid you of your misery.
Go down to your local drugstore (pick a pack of)
Heartfelt Form Letters
It’s guaranteed, it’s all you need
So every day your life is better
Thanks to Heartfelt Form Letters
Thanks to Heartfelt Form Letters

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2013 by Robert Davidson
I put my love into the want ads
But I had no reply
I even tried computer dating
But the computer died.
Where is the answer to my problem?
Alone at night I toss and turn
I need my life to be much better
But I just never learn
I put my love into the want ads
But I had no reply
I even tried computer dating
But then the computer died
And so I said it in a letter
It was a Heartfelt form
And now my life has gotten better
My sheets are always warm
And I no longer have a problem
I keep those letters by my bed
And if I’m ever sad or lonely
I simply use my head
Because I say it with Heartfelt
I have the complete set
The Better Letter
Say it with Heartfelt
The Better Letter
Say it with Heartfelt

Music & lyrics ©1974, 2013 by Robert Davidson
I never thought that I’d be sitting here tonight
Late at night by your side
You came on back to me
Again I get to see
Your sweet eyes so close to me
Hollywood Love
They’re gonna make a movie (‘bout our love)
Hollywood Love
People gonna come and stare at the love
People gonna come and swear at the love
All the people running scared of the love of us
You once were dressed in red
You ran around mislead by the smiles somebody sent you
I sat alone in black
I hoped you would react, so I waited there for you
Hollywood Love
They’re gonna make a movie (‘bout our love)
Hollywood Love
People gonna come and stare at the love
People gonna come and swear at the love
All the people running scared of the love of us
I’m wondering where you’re hiding...
I’m wondering where you’re hiding...
I’m knocking on your door, I want inside for more
You don’t answer like before
So I will not again, stop trying to pretend
You’re not in there with your friend
Hollywood Love
They’re gonna make a movie (‘bout our love)
Hollywood Love
People gonna come and stare at the love
People gonna come and swear at the love
All the people running scared of the love of us
I never thought that I’d be sitting here tonight
I never dreamed that I’d be sitting here tonight
I’m wondering where you’re hiding...
I’m wondering where you’re hiding...

Welcome to the Kingdom of Ralph Wah-Wah
The year is 4918652
Here in Wah-Wah Kingdom, there is just one rule
Wishing is the only thing that you can’t do
It’s a dangerous hobby and it’s illegal!
Lord Ralph Wah-Wah had decided long ago
That wishing will make you break out in tears
So His Highness brought about the Wishing Law
Now Wishing has become our most dreaded fear
It’s a dangerous hobby and it’s illegal!
The road to hell, is paved with empty wishing wells
The pearly gates are closed forever so we wait
But we’re not sad, for the wishing fad
In fact we’re glad, that we are not ever bad
‘Cos if you're bad and if you make a wish
You’ll meet he Wisher Washer down the road
He doesn’t care if you are wool or perma-pressed
He takes your mind and washes it in the next load
It drip dries through your eyes
The road to hell, is paved with empty wishing wells
The pearly gates are closed forever so we wait
But we’re not sad, for the wishing fad
In fact we’re glad, that we are not ever bad
Wishing is the only thing that you can’t do
It’s a dangerous hobby and it’s illegal!
Dangerous hobby and it’s so illegal!
Dangerous hobby, it’s illegal!

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2013 by Robert Davidson
John: All I want is all my wishes to come true
is that too much to ask of you
John: All I want is all my needs to be pleased
Is that too much to ask for free
Mysterious Lady of the No Wishing: Hardly!!
Are you sure that’s what you want
Are you really sure that that is really, really what you want?
Gail: All I want, is a color TV in my swimming pool
A lot of nice furs and a lot of nice jewelry
Mysterious People: Are you sure that’s what you want
Are you really sure that that is really, really what you want?
Giulia: All I want is to become the queen, you know
I can’t stand dull routine at all
Mysterious People: Are you sure that’s what you want
Are you really sure that that is really, really what you want?
Are you sure that’s what you want
Are you really sure that that is really, really what you want?
All normal people: All we want is to be famous superstars
We wish that people near and far
Will always know just who we are...
Mysterious People: Are you sure that’s what you want
Are you really sure that that is really, really what you want?
Are you sure that’s what you want
Are you really sure that that is really, really what you want?

Wishful girl:
I guess I made it, my wish has come true
At last I believe, a wish can do
Just anything you want it to
I’m in a show it’s so much fun
I can’t wait ‘til the show is done
When I get paid my money
Then I’ll be a famous personality
Ohhh look at me go.......
No Wishing police:
Wait a minute! Where’s your Wishing License??
We are the Police, Wishing’s illegal
You got your wish and you must pay!!!
Wishful girl: All I got was one little wish...
No Wishing police: Pay!!
Wishful girl: One..

Wishful girl: little..

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2013 by Robert Davidson
Mysterious Wah-Wah Attorney:
Attention in the Court, a case is to be heard
Defendant “Silly Girl” has used the evil word
But if she goes commit this vulgar act, ooo
Wishing dangerous that is a fact
We told you time and time again you shouldn't try
To wish or want but you ignored our sound advice
What did you think that you could get away? ooo
We wash up more wishers every day.
Bring out the Wisher Washer!!
Previously Wishful girl:
Everybody knows wishing won’t come true
Everybody knows, wishing is a stupid thing to do
Mysterious Wah-Wah Attorney:
And now we let them back into society
Where she will never wish or talk or hear or see
‘Cos if you wish you’ll only start a fight
And on that note I’m wishing you goodnight
No Wishing police: Goodnight!

Another Show Song

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2013 by Robert Davidson
Another Show Song, oh the thrill of the show
The melody’s soothing
But it’s just that the words have to go
Another verse of the same thrilling show song
We’re almost halfway through and yet
Nobody knows what’s going on
I sure wish I just could remember
Just a couple of key phrases but...
I fear that it’s just a little too late
I better come up with something straight, ‘cos
I’m going to have enough trouble trying to follow the chords
I’m getting worried, what if this song never ends?
I’ll be stuck singing it for all time
and I will lose all my friends!
I bet you’re waiting for me to find an end
To this story I’m singing
Which did never begin!
Well here goes...
I wonder how you would go about it
I never tried to end a show song
I’m beginning to have doubts about it
I can’t let it go on forever
and so I just decided that I’d better end the song
So here’s the ending to this charming show song
The melody is soothing but it’s just
That the words are too long
Are too long
Are too-ooo looooong....

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2013 by Robert Davidson
Everyone knows that we’re happy, happy
Everyone, everywhere’s happy, happy
We hope that you know we’re happy, happy
We hope that you, too are happy, happy!
We’re here to entertain, we want you to remain
We’ll do our very best, to keep you at your happiest
We want to see you smile, just for a little while
We want to satisfy you, yes to satisfy
We want you to stay
So please don’t go away (please don’t go away)
And should we get risqué (risqué)
We remind you right away.... that
Everyone knows that we’re happy, happy
Everyone, everywhere’s happy, happy
We hope that you know we’re happy, happy
We hope that you, too are happy, happy!
We’ve got a great show for you we sure hope
You like a great show, because we got one
It features people, hap, happy people
Singing some happy songs, singing happy
We want you to stay
So please don’t go away
And should we get risqué
Would you care anyway?
If we got risqué
What if we got, what if we got, what of we got risqué?
Hope that it’s not, hope that it’s not
Hope that it’s not risqué
Oh Oh No No
Visions, ideas that are not suited
Tend to corrupt after they’ve polluted
We’d better rid ourselves of these unhappy things
Everyone everywhere must be happy
Those are the rules so let’s make it (Snap) snappy
Everyone tell me how you’re feeling right now...
Happy...happy...happy...happy ooo...ooo...ooo.ooo.o.o.o
Everyone knows that we’re happy, happy
Everyone, everywhere’s happy, happy
We hope that you know we’re happy, happy
We hope that you, too are happy, happy!
Sorry we did not mean to get carried away
But we must make sure you’re happy
Happy at all costs, happy regardless
And now it’s time to, time to be happy
Happiest Girl: I was walking down a happy road
When a happy birdie said “Tweet, tweet, tweet”
All: In the happiest way!
Happiest Girl: And now I”m happy
And I have no worries
And all I need are the little birdies
Birdies: Tweet, tweet tweet!
Happiest Girl: What would I do if they all went away
I wish they all would come outside to play
Birdies: Tweet, tweet tweet!
Happiest Girl: So I took one and put it in a cage
Now I am the happiest girl for my age
Birdies: Tweet, tweet tweet!
Happiest Girl: Happy, happy
Birdies: Tweet, tweet tweet!
Happiest Girl: Happy, happy

(Bad News Unhappy guy interrupts...)
Everyone knows that you must be happy
That is the rule and so that is that
And if I were you
I would make sure that you were quite
Happy...happy...happy...happy
(we’re so happy we can hardly take it, oooo)

Music & lyrics ©1975, 2013 by Robert Davidson
Where did all the time go?
It flew right out the window
It must have found it hard though
Down here there are no windows
I often ask myself how such things happen
I rarely get an answer
I guess I just don’t know
Where did all the time go?
And how does my next line go?
Now we may have presented
Some things that you resented
But please don’t be offended
Because we never meant it
We only hope that you have had a good time
Despite the fact that time got up
and rudely flew away, away
But that it how it goes
That is how it goes
We only hope that you have had a good time
And let me thank you
for coming out to see us
late on a Saturday night
it was awful nice of you
Oh, thank you thank you very much
Thank you very much you were so nice we loved working for you
It was really nice for you to drop by
Really nice for you to drop by, drop in every Saturday
We’ll be here each Saturday night at midnight drop by
We’ll be in here, just drop in here!
And now our evening’s over
Thank you for coming over
And then ‘til next week
and then ‘til next week
‘Til then we say goodnight!

Parma-Jon:
I’m just a guy singin’ cheesy
(His name is Parma-Jon)
Singing a Cheesy Love Song
I hope that I will find
Someone who deep inside
Will be turned on by my
Cheesy Love Song
And my love must know about Cheeses
(Mozzarella, yeah)
Edam and never be Bleu
Roquefort and Swiss are fine
Can’t get that Cheddar out of my mind
Even the processed cheeses are fine with me, Parma-Jon
Girl:
What does this mean to me?
I’m just a normal girl from Tennessee
I like bagels with Philadelphia Cream Cheese
I think Swiss really smells and I think
Brie is really too gooey.
Swiss is smelly
Parma-Jon:
You should try some
Both:
Time to try some right now
Parma-Jon:
Try some Gouda in the morning
(Velveeta for lunch)
Munster for supper is fine
You should eat Brie at night
Watching TV cottage cheese is alright
Camembert turns your wrongs into right
Vous ete mon fromage
Girl:
And now I know the good life
I want to marry you and be your wife
I just want to be in cheeses for the rest of my life
I am your Limburger Lady your Cheeseburger baby, yeah
Both:
Oh how cheesy
Oh so cheesy
Oh how cheesy, yeah!!!
