1. _ Mommy And Daddy
Ask your mommy and daddy, "what happened to the indian?
How come they're all living in places
With too much snow or too much sand?"
Tell your mommy, "i got a funny feeling deep inside of me"
Ask your daddy, "is it really as bad as people make it seem?"
Wa ta tick it ta too too..
Ask your mommy why everybody swallows all those little pills
Ask your daddy why that soldier doesn't care who he kills
After they've put you to sleep and tucked you safely down in your bed
Whisper, "mommy and daddy would you rather that
I learned it from my friends, instead?
Do you think i'm to young to know, to see, to feel, or hear
My questions need an answer or a vaccuum will appear"
Don't be surprised if they turn and walk away
And tell your mommy and daddy that you love them anyway
That you love them anyway...
Give them a kiss
Love will set you free
Kings of emi
Mommy and daddy (alt.)
Ask your mommy and daddy, "what happened to the indian?"
Ask your mommy and daddy to tell you where you really came from
Then mommy and daddy will probably turn and quickly walk away
Then ask your mommy and daddy who really killed j.f.k
Wa ta tick it ta too too...
Ask your mommy if she really gets off on all her - all her pills
Ask your daddy, "why doesn't that soldier care who he kills?"
After they've put you to sleep and tucked you safely down in your bed
Whisper mommy and daddy,
"would it matter if the bullet went through my head?
If it was my blood spilling on the kitchen floor
If it was my blood, mommy, would you care a little more?"
Don't be surprised when they turn and start to cry
And tell your mommy and daddy, tell your mommy and daddy
Scream it to your mommy and daddy
They're living in a lie, a lie, a lie
It's all a lie, a lie, a lie
A lie, a lie...

2. _ Never Tell A Woman Yes
Oh my, my, my-
In a dusty caravan
Was a girl with a golden tan
And she asked me if i was headed to the east
I politely stepped a side and said i did not need a ride
That i'd rather take my chances with the heat
Well, when she turned and walked away
I saw my big mistake
There were jewels on her body oh-so-rare
Had it been another day i just might have rode away
With that woman riding off to god-knows-where
So the years they came and went
And found me living in a tent
Far above a little marble stream
And it may have been the light that shone out through the night
That attracted the hand scratching on my screen
When i cautiously looked out through the night
There was no doubt
That the owner of that hand was that girl
So i bid her do come in
And i'll open up a tin
If you'll tell me 'bout your trip around the world
Well, she said,"if you think back
To the first time that we passed
I'm sure you'll picture me in all my jewles
It was shortly after then that i ran into another man
And i asked him the same question i asked you
But now he he didn't refuse
And he took off of both his shoes
And climbed abord mu east-bound caravan
In the twinkling of the night
He knocked me off the side
And left me there for dead upon the sand
And i thought i was done
Lying naked in the sun
When much to my surprise, who should pass?
But this old friend of yours
He said he knew you from the wars
And i told him that i thought you'd headed west
Well, he said he should have known
'cause you like to be alone
And that's the time i knew you were my one
So i asked him for a ride
Just to get here by your side
And stay here above this stream
Out of the sun"
Well, we sat quite for a while
And i began to smile
Well it's strange but i don't care
And some nights when i'm at rest
I wonder if i'd said, "yes"
Would she have come to me from god knows where
Or would i have been the one to leave her lying in the sun
And then ended up with only precious stones
Or would the woman in my arms be giving me her charms
If the answer that i gave her wasn't "no"

3. _ Looking For The Good Times
Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have my fun
Looking for the good times, baby
Girl you can come along with me
Wow, you're gonna see
Just how fine this big old world can be
Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have a ball
Lookiong for the good times, baby
You can share it all
There's more to life than you've been living, girl
You can share it all
There's things to do that you ain't thought of yet
You can share it all
So let me be the one to do the giving, girl
You can share it all
You'll find the things you thought you couldn't get
Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have my fun
Looking for the good times, baby
Girl you can come along with me - with me
Looking for the good times, baby
Gonna have a ball
Looking for the good times, baby,
Girl you can share it all...

4. _ French Song
A little girl
Goes out walking in the night
A little boy
Calls, "good evening"
From the light
They stop to talk for just a while
Then she's gone
A little girl
Sits beside her window pane
Thinking about an evening in the rain
A little talk, a little boy
Then she's gone
A little girl
Goes out walking
Once again
A little boy
Finds that he has done the same
They stop to talk for just a while
Then they're gone...

5. _ If I Knew
If i knew what was bothering you
I would run to your side
I don't know why
I would just die if you left me
Can't you see
What youre doing to me
Are you playing a game
Is it always the same
Am i to blame?
Or is anyone?
I don't want to settle down
With any other girl, but you
So i'm just gonna wait around
'til you decide what you're gonna do
Can't you see
What you're doing to me?
Are you playing a game?
It's always the same?
Am i to blame?
Or is anyone?
I don't wanna settle down
With any other girl, but you
So i'm just gonna wait around
'til you decide what you're gonna do
If i knew
1: if i knew, what was bothering you,
I would run to your side, i don't know why,
I would just die, if you left me.
2: can't you see, what you're doing to me?
Are you playin' a game? it's always the same.
Am i to blame, or is anyone?
Chorus: i don't wanna settle down with any other girl but you,
So i'm just gonna wait around,
'til you decide what you're gonna do. (do)
3: can't you see, what you're doing to me?
Are you playin' a game? it's always the same.
Am i to blame, or is anyone? (anyone, anyone)
Chorus: i don't wanna settle down with any other girl but you.
So i'm just gonna wait around,
'til you decide what you're gonna do. (do)
Oh.

6. _ Lady's Aid Society
In every little town and village too
Somewhere in the neighborhood
You'll find a little band of ladies who
Can't stop doing good
Good for the pigeons in the park
Good for the weekly tea
Good for the national bank where they keep their treasury
We're the ladies aid society
And we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid society
And soon we'll take over the world
Here they come marching down the street
Witgh their picket signs in hand
With their blue and white pleated uniforms
And their all girl five-piece band
Down with long haired singing groups
Down with the mayor too
And if you;re under 65 they're down on you
We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
Were the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth
We're the ladies aid society
And we're really a great bunch of girls
We're the ladies aid soicety
And soon we'll take over the world
We're the ladies aid society
And we just want to sell you the truth
Were the ladies aid society
And it's time we clamp down on the youth

7. _ Good Clean Fun
There's a smile on the wind as it touches my face
And starts to erase all the gloom
And the sun with a kiss, begins to dismiss the
Memory of my life without you
Well it seems like yesterday that my path took me away
Although i know it's been at least a year
But now my path heads home
And your patient time alone
Has brought me even closer to you, dear
And this plane gets closer
Every minute i look down to a watch that keeps looking back at me
And it says to me, "be patient son you've waited this long."
How can i be strong?
And this the plane gets closer
Every minute i look down to watch that keeps looking back at me
And it says to me, "be patient son you've waited this long."
How can i be strong?
Well the plane is finally down
And the engines stopped their sound
And i look in the crowd and there you stand
And the gap that once was time
Is forever closed behind
I told you i'd come back and here i am...

8. _ Pillow Time
There's a wonderland for alice
There's a tall beanstalk for jack
The sleepy train will take you there
So safely down the track
With the sandman at the throttle
You'll be off to dreams and back
It's pillow time again
You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down mother goose lane
Romp with jack and jill
Up and down the hill
And try to put humpty together again
Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop
The candy whistle's blowin'
Don't you miss your station stop
So good night my wee way fairer
Pleasant dreams to you, oh tot
It's pillow time again
You will meet all your storybook friends
As you go down mother goose lane
Romp with jack and jill, up and down the hill
And try to put humpty together again
Close your sleepy eyes and listen
While we take a little hop
The candy whistle's blowin'
Don't you miss your station stop
So good night my wee way fairer
Pleasant dreams to you, oh tot
It's pillow time again
It's pillow time agian...

9. _ Little Girl
Little girl is smart as she can be, woe
Little girl you've made a fool of me, woe.
I believed her when she said she really loved me.
The love was shining in my eyes so coundn't see the lies
In her eyes.
Little girl knows more than she pretends
She knew i wanted to be more than friends.
Every time she hurt me oh how sorry she was,
Yesterday she went to far and now i'm through because i'm wise
To all those lies.
Friends said don't worry now she's sweet and she's kind
Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel all the time
The little things that bothered me i let them go by
And now it's too late to cry.
Little girl it's time that we should part
'cause little girl now you've broke my heart.
I couldn't help but hear what they had said about you
Now i'm ashamed to tell them that i fell in love you.
They'd laugh at me
Please set me free.
Friends said don't worry now she's sweet and she's kind
Don't be afraid to tell her how you feel all the time.
The little things that bothered me i let them go by
And now it's too late to cry.
Little girl now i'm through with you
'cause you've got everything you wanted too.
Despite all those things that they said you had done
You had me believin' now that i was the one
In your dreams, instead of your schemes.
Little girl, little girl.....

10. _ Oklahoma Backroom Dancer
By michael nesmith
She's always appearing with a band of renown
You want to go and see her when you're feeling down
She's a breathtaking spectacle, with guaranteed hope
She'll make you feel good, 'cause she's the best thing since soap
She'll greet you in the alley with a .45 smile [or fortified smile]
She's the original sideshow and she's got her own style.
Pardon my baby, she got to have her fun
Yes, i say, pardon my baby, she got to have her fun
'cause she's a oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her run.
Now, she dances on air just like superman's child
Like a [???] she's wild but she's mild
She's more fun than colorado, and more far-out than maine
She comes on like thunder and she's more right than rain
She's the mother of earth, and the goddess of [???]
She's the chicken and the egg and whichever came first.
Pardon my baby, she got to have her chance
Oh, i say pardon my baby, she got to have her chance.
'cause she's a oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her dance.
Yeah, i say pardon my baby, she got to have her fun
Yeah, i say pardon my baby, she got to have her fun
Yes, she's a oklahoma backroom dancer, watch her run.
Woooo! my, my!

11. _ Bye Bye, Baby, Bye Bye
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
Don't want to make you cry
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
Don't want to make you cry
I'll be leaving you now
You'll get along somehow
Time time is gone when you and i were strong
Time time is gone when you and i were strong
Isn't easy to leave, isn't easy to leave
You spend you life thinking about living
You spend your whole life
Bye bye baby bye bye
Don't want to make you cry
Time time time is gone when you and i were strong
Time time time is gone when you and i were strong
Isn't easy to leave, isn't easy to leave
You spend your time sitting there thinking
Thinking about sitting there thinking
You waste my time talking about dieing
Dieing when you should be trying
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
Don't want to make you cry
Bye bye, baby, bye bye
Don't want to make you cry
I'll be leaving you now
You'll get along somehow
Time time time is mine to make my fortune mine
Time time time is mine to make my fortune mine
Can't say i can see what'll happen to me
Can't say i can see what'll happen to me
Bye bye baby bye bye...

12. _ Listen To The Band
Hey, hey, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help i'm falling again.
Play the drum a little louder,
Tell me i can live without her
If i only listen to the band.
Listen to the band!
Weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think i can make it alone.
Oh, mercy woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help i'm falling again.
Play the drum a little bit louder,
Tell them they can live without her
If they only listen to the band.
Listen to the band!
Now weren't they good, they made me happy.
I think i can make it alone.
Oh, woman plays a song and no one listens,
I need help i'm falling again.
C'mon, play the drums just a little bit louder,
Tell us we can live without her
Now that we have listened to the band.
Listen to the band!
