Rb: I'm a girl from PA
BG: I'm a boy from the bay
Rb & BG: We definitely don’t do things the typical way.
Let’s tell them how we met.
And how good it gets
When someone you love truly loves you back.
Want to sing it from the stage
How this couple get engaged.
It’s the biggest idea we've thought up in days...
Rb: And no it’s not easy
BG: It’s certainly not sane.
Rb & BG: But this is our dream for our happiest day.
All: Cuz we, oh yeah, we're doing it our, we’re doing it our way.
Cuz we, oh yeah, we're doing it our, we’re doing it our way
BG: My girl in my arms, I’m high as the stars
Rb: Tuxedos and bouquets, they just didn’t suit.
BG: My girl in my arms, I’m high as the stars
Rb: The Rock & roll gawd in my arms
Rb & BG: But when we create, it falls into place. A chorus with family and all of you.
Announcer: (Nuptials)
All: Cuz we, oh yeah, we're doing it our, we’re doing it our way.
Cuz we, oh yeah, we're doing it our, we’re doing it our way

RB: Two Jujubes and a jolly rancher lollipop pop pop…
BG: You pour the liquor till it’s topping off the 7UP up up
Both: Oh owww. Squeezing these. Kissing that.
Oh owww. Squeezing these. Kissing that.
BG: Little sugar doses to keep us from nodding off off off
RB: I really love the drive in especially when the lips are soft soft soft
Both: Oh owww. Squeezing these. Kissing that.
Oh owww. Squeezing these. Kissing that.
We want the latest checkout
Apocalyptic make-out
Squeeze me tight while the world is ending. It’s the way we should go.
Say goodbye to the world now. Say goodbye to the world.
Say goodbye to the world now. Say goodbye to the world.
Good thing the popcorn’s in the microwave.
Announcer:
The town of Shermer, the only place left on the planet thought
to have survived the global nuclear apocalypse.
BG: Oh you’re still here.
RB: Oh, we’re still here.
BG: It’s 7 mins to midnight. Let’s see if we can make it to the drive-in.
RB: Cheetoh man baby opened Pandora’s box
BG: At least we’ll be together like sugar in a missile pop
Both: Oh owww. Squeezing these. Kissing that.
And that, and that, that, oowww!
We want the latest checkout
Apocalyptic make-out
Squeeze me tight while the world is ending
It’s the way we should go
Just one more kiss at checkout
Apocalyptic make-out
Squeeze me tight while the world is ending
It’s the way we should go.

Flip The Switch
03:52
|

|
Any mention of me, just one, did you, you overhear
Because I felt the sparks between us
If I could flip the switch, I’d flip the switch, oh yeah
I’d send the messages to her left and right hemisphere
Her impression on me, just when, oh I, I, was gonna leave because
My potential to love, was exhausted
It’s like she flipped the switch, to my oxytocin receiver
I felt the needle & thread, as she embroidered her name cross my peepers
Heading home, like a nice guy should do
But when I woke, I reached out and wrote you
Took a chance, and used words only I use,
Oh I hope that my impression, flips the switch, flips the switch, on you
Baby can you feel the fire, before it catches
Exothermic reaction behind the lashes
Fuchsia and brown, freckles abound, then all is blue
And then you mentioned me
“Hey you got a minute to talk about rock & roll”
Heading home, like a nice guy should do
But when I woke, I reached out and wrote you
Took a chance, and used words only I use,
Oh I hope that my impression, flips the switch, flips the switch, on you

All: You’re a golden soul!
The rooooom lights up with that golden glow. You’re golden, a golden soul to me
RB:Precious Cargo
BG: Do I only have innocent intentions? RB: Is this too much conversation?
BG: If I kiss her on the cheek—
RB: Come and kiss me on the lips
BG & RG: Stop time! It’s a hug, spinning round & round, oh yeah
Rb & BG: When gold sparkle finds its way to you,
a little luck, little luck, you’ll know just what to do
When gold sparkle finds its way to you, a little luck, little luck...
BG: Gold sparkle in your eyes. The world fills with butterflies.. Oh yeah!
Gold sparkle in your eyes. The world is full of butterflies, oh yeah. Gold sparkle in your eyes. The world is full of butterflies
Oh every day & every night, I see your glow and it is golden.

Scary Things

Oh no scary things are out there.
Oh yeah, scary things are out there.
Here we are just you and me
And a hundred and two, maybe more like three
Hundred friends and family. Scary things.
When you wonder what can be
Don’t dream a dab dream
Reach out and pull it
Live from the volcano. Scary things.
What’s in the alley?
What’s down the street?
Could there be another world
Lurking inside an oyster. Scary things.
Come on. Break out and say…
What, what, what the fuck.
Just say what, what, what the fuck.
Before the clock, it strikes the very top.
Before the clock, clock strikes the very top.
Before the clock, it strikes the very top
Just say what, what, what, what the faaaa—
You didn’t grow up with swear words, did you?
Yeah, yeah, yeah… (a swirling sea of them)
Say what? The fuck.
Say what? Uh huh… (double dat)
Oh no scary things are out there.
Oh yeah, scary things are out there. (double dat)
I found a rock&roll kind of gal.
I grabbed a’hold of a comet’s tail.
We booked a date at The Chapel
And we knew when we tied the knot—
Better, better, better, better be in front of a kickdrum
Wedding rings.
Ha. I’m ready to say it…
What, what, what the fuck.
Just say what, what, what the fuck.
Before the clock, it strikes the very top.
Before the clock, clock strikes the very top.
Before the clock, it strikes the very top
Before the clock, clock strikes the very top.
Before the clock, it strikes the very top
Before the clock, clock strikes the very top.
Oh no scary things are out there.
Oh yeah, scary things are out thereeeee. (hug your loved one)

Breathing Pheromones
04:56

We did it our way
So now some decompression
Our favorite pillowcases
never need adjusting
So sweet it is, to sleep in Sunday morning
So sweet it is, to sleep in Sunday morning
The curtains dancing
It lets…sunbeams kiss me
This waking moment truly
Makes this weekend dreamy
So sweet it is, to sleep in Sunday morning
So sweet it is, to sleep in Sunday morning
Breathing in your pheromones (x3)
No where else could I be, quite as peaceful
No distant ocean, could
soothe me more than you dear
To drink your breath in baby,
fills my sails with salt air
[chorus]
Sweetest of pheromones (x3)
Breathe in, breathe in (x3)

Love Jerks

BG: You've got some fangs, but it don't get me upset
I'll bring the blood, if you bring the turtleneck
Rb: I'll spin my web, so you can dance on by
I'll twirl you round and round, it's a knockout night
Rb & BG: Two jerks in love, thorns from a rose
Sometimes we need to be kept on our toes
Who do you love, and why does it hurt?
Treasure your friends, but love jerks
Rb: A kiss and a spank, and all your selfish ways
Far from a gentleman, but you've got good taste
BG: Trust me sweetheart, the torturing is through
I'm bending down the branch, won't you pick the fruits of my love
Rb & BG: ...of my love.
Rb: With other men, there's nothing dangerous
BG: They say that I, am paralyzed from spider bites
Rb & BG: But you've got some fangs, and I love how it feels
All: Who do you love, and why does it hurt
Treasure your friends, but love jerks
Who do you love, and why does it hurt
Treasure your friends, but love jerks
Rb & BG: Two jerks in love, thorns from a rose
Sometimes we need to be kept on our toes

Little Less Lonesome
03:17

I’m always moving
Loud-all-nighters
Giving up my Sunday
Being away from you is...
Never where I should be
If I, get my way
I’ll see you tomorrow
When I, get my way
I’ll spend all my time with…
Glass of wine, alone
It’s a little lonesome, darling
Come, let’s be, on our ownsome
Cuz it’s a little lonesome
And it’s a little lonesome
It’s rough, with serious side kicks
Songs that won’t mix
...Scooby, I miss you
I’m just a back seat captive…
Dreaming of the airport
If I get my way
Highways fold between us
When I get my way
I’ll make up-for leavinnnnn…
A glass of wine, alone
It’s a little lonesome, da-ling
Come, let’s be, on our ownsome
Cuz it’s a little lonesome
...Glass of wine, alone
It’s a little lonesome, da-ling
Come, let’s be, on our ownsome
Never get lonesome
With our little love song
It started out with something good
My mate blamed me, he said I botched it
Why would I cut my throat, to spite my, fangs, fangs, happy happy fangs yeah
If I, get my way
I’ll see you tomorrow
When I, get my way
I’ll see you tomorrow

Do do dododo, Do do dododo, Do do dododo.
BPG: Would you like me in the country?
I haven’t a clue what the sugar-beets do, but I could sure find out, if you show me how.
The city has really been great, but I need to hear some crickets chase away the heat of a summer day. So what do you say, Becky?
Do do dododo, Do do dododo, Do do dododo.
Rb: Hey, I love what you’re saying, beneath this blouse are some peaches
needing to be sunkissed now, without neighbors ‘round.
The city has really been gray,
Yeah a skinny-dip evening would make my summer memory, so let’s get away Bry Bry
A pair of sunny boobs so deep in love, Barefoot stomping through the mud.
These are the days for me and you. Sunny Boobs, oh Sunny Boobs.
A pair of sunny boobs, just high on life. Soaring through that sunny sky. These are dreams I live with you. Sunny Boobs, ohSunny Boobs.
Do do dododo, Do do dododo, Do do dododo.

Meeting all the friends and catching all the latest scoobies, Yeah, we’re swimming from brewery to brewery, baby.
A pair of sunny boobs so deep in love,
Barefoot stomping through the mud. Always in a sunny mood.

Won’t you come with me? Come out to the country. Won’t you come with me? Come out to the country. I will be! Chorus
Do do dododo, Do do dododo, Do do dododo.
