CHIMPS EMBRACE THEIR COUSINS

YOU ARE NOT ME (Instrumental)

LOVE IS A CRACKED HEAD GASKET
Baby your as faithful as my '82 Datsun 310
You told me that our love would never end
You always said you'd never stop varying for me
Your sickening words of love made me want to flee
You change your mind all of the time
I'd rather change my tires than hang around with liars
Love is a cracked head gasket
All of the pieces fit in a basket
Baby your love only went so far
Now all I have is this bloody old car
Women did you think all those dates we had were free
You left me with nothing but my misery
Your Juvenile ways really made me want to yak
Even if you gave me five bucks, I wouldn't take you back

BRIGHT AND CHEERY DAY
Open my door and run outside, what a bright and cheery day
It's a beautiful day in May and there are flowers blooming
They're so beautiful, I'm gonna pick a bouquet
Maybe I'll find some wallpaper to match them
Then I'll bring them inside and find a vase and put them
on the table Yep, Its a bright and cheery day
Gosh, it's so beautiful out, 
maybe I'll go downtown and get my hair done, and get a manicure, 
and maybe buy a bright , nice dress for me to wear. 
I'll get my nails done. 
Maybe later I'll go down and get a book of poetry, 
go sit by a lake in the park and read some sonnets, 
or maybe I'll just sit at home and watch my favorite soap opera. 
I love the stories of love and 
tragedy. Maybe I'll go to the music store and see if they 
have my harp ready yet and I'll go outside under a tree 
and I'll strum my harp and play dainty little melodies on it 
What a bright and cherry day

BOMBS ARE FALLING 
Bombs are falling, falling

ARNOLD FRUEGLEMEISTER
I once knew this guy from Afrika and you could see it in his name
He was a very rude fellow but he was pale kind the same
He, to me was exemplarity and he took my brother
And don't even look like generals since I can't go hunting 
for supper tonight

BARNEY II
Here comes Barney
and he is a little trouble
Here comes Barney
and he's no Barney Rubble
Here comes Barney
he's a hasty little sore
Here comes Barney 
he's a stupid dinosaur
Here comes Barney
with his Baby Bop
Barney watch out for
those Nazis

SOFTIQUE COIN
There's not to many things you can purr at
or, meow or rub other than a cat
My coin is very round and it's softique
And when you see it, you'll say "hey that's unique"
I got my self a crazy little coin
Not near as greasy as my friend the Hog Loin
It's softique and its cuddly.
Look at it everybody, it's my crazy little coin
It's very round and it's softique
Look at, Look at, Look at, Look at my
Look at, Look at, Look at my Coin, Coin
Maybe I'll quit my job and become a singer
full-time. This is what I love to do, 
singing about coins.

BUM NOISE (Instrumental)

EXCURSIONS AT THE POND (1982)
In the fall of 1982 we took an excursion too
Down to the muddy pond we flow
Taking with us our makeshift canoe
It was actually a kiddy pool
A great craft for three young fools
Who didn't need some tools
Just some luck and Johnny's drool
And little did we all know
Big Don tried to spoil the show
Complained about our clothes and so
We had to let our fine ship go
Excursions at the pond 1982
There we were at the stormy sea
Our sunken ship was resurrescted for the 
children to see. Let me tell you a little
secret: Kiddie pools are not the most 
desirable sailing vessels in the world, in
fact, they suck. At the 3 o'clock hour
our craft is tossing about so. But what are
we gonna do? Are we gonna swim to shore?
Impossible! Shore must be at least 10 to
15 feet away. All you can do is bear it, 
lay back with you clothes covered in mud
Big Don complaining about it. What are you
gonna do? That's what I want to know. Who
do you think you are anyway, Johnny's drool?
A Las mates! Its over to the pond we sail
And you thought the Titanic was bad.

CHEESE WITH LINT
Cheese, cheese, cheese with lint
Cheese, cheese, cheese with lint on top
Cheese, cheese, cheese with lint from
the dryer makes me happy
Cheese, cheese, cheese with lint feels
so soft and sappy
Please can I have some lint, oh can I have 
some please?
Lint, lint, need lint, need cheese with lint
Nothing is more divine
Nothing fills my tummy like some yummy
cheese with lint, Luvy cheese with lint on it
It's divine I say

GOOD-BYE FOREVER
Good bye, this is the end, the last Baboon
We are leaving, gone forever, today you'll
have the pleasure. It's been a wild and crazy ride
with the Baboon's and now this will be our last
album together as the Baboon's.
