Leisure Suit Lyrics and Video Lounge and PPWC Karaoke Bar
We're hungry wolves stealing the night witchkilling keeps us alive
We're searching for her, we're hunting for her she's taking us for a ride
We're chasing her till the end we've gotta kill this deadly sin
Running through the woods, searching every house
We'll find her, she can't hide
Witch hunt, I'm going on a witch hunt
She can kill you, she can hypnotize so never look her in the eyes
She's a fearful one, she's the devil's friend you can see why she must die
She's cornered up against a wall we trap her and she tries to shout
Setting up a fire, she's been roped and tied for her there's no way out
I, the Pile Driver, High Priest of the Metal Inquisition, find you
guilty as charged for crimes of sorcery and witchcraft. I sentence you
now to be burnt at the stake. May your body and soul burn in hell and
may the devil himself crawl from the bowels of hell to claim you as his
humble servant... Burn!
We're watching that witch burn up we're roasting her on the stake
There's a foul smell and it's in the air she's gotta burn, she's gotta bake
Hunting is our way of life we've got a hungry appetite
Tie her up and burn her soul for her it's just an endless fight
I just rolled myself a taste
Of something green and gold and glorious
To get me through the day.
Then my friend yelled through the transom
"Grab your coat and get your hat son,
There's a nut down on the corner,
Givin' dollar bills away"
But I laid around a bit
Then I had another hit.
Then I rolled myself a bauma.
Then I thought about my mama.
Then I fooled around, played around
jacked around a while and then
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
It took seven months of urgin'
Just to get that local virgin
With the sweet face
Up to my place
To fool around a bit.
Next day she woke up rosy,
And she snuggled up so cozy.
When she asked me how I liked it,
Lord it hurts me to admit,
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
I'm makin' no excuses
For the many things I uses
Just to sweeten up my relationships
And brighten up my day.
When my earthly race is over
And I'm ready for the clover
And they ask me how my life has been
I guess I'll have to say,
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and it rolled right by.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned and I missed it.
I got stoned... oh me... oh my.
All my bags are packed I'm ready to go.
I'm standing here outside your door.
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye.
But the dawn is breaking it early morn.
The taxi's waitin he's blownin his horn.
Already I'm so lonesome I could die.
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
Cause I'm leavin on a jet plane.
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe I hate to go.
Theres so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around.
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.
Every place I go I'll think of you.
Every song I sing I'll sing for you.
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring.
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
Cause I'm leavin on a jet plane.
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe I hate to go.
Now the time come to leave you.
One more time let me kiss you.
Then close your eyes I'll be on my way.
Dream about the days to come.
When I won't have to leave alone.
About the times I won't have to say
So kiss me and smile for me.
Tell me that you'll wait for me.
Hold me like you'll never let me go.
Cause I'm leavin on a jet plane.
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe I hate to go.
I'm leavin on a jet plane.
Don't know when I'll be back again.
Oh, babe, I hate to go.
especially in Armegeddon
one of my all time favorite movies
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, donÂ’t you? Â’course you do.
But thereÂ’s one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes evÂ’ry sunday a treat for me.
All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When weÂ’re poisoning pigeons in the park.
EvÂ’ry sunday youÂ’ll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.
When they see us coming, the birdies all try anÂ’ hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sunÂ’s shining bright,
EvÂ’rything seems all right,
When weÂ’re poisoning pigeons in the park.
Lalaalaalalaladoodiedieedoodoodoo
WeÂ’ve gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the audubon society
With our games.
They call it impiety,
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But itÂ’s not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.
So if sunday youÂ’re free,
Why donÂ’t you come with me,
And weÂ’ll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe weÂ’ll do
In a squirrel or two,
While weÂ’re poisoning pigeons in the park.
WeÂ’ll murder them all amid laughter and merriment.
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickeninÂ’
With each drop of strychnine
We feed to a pigeon.
It just takes a smidgin!
To poison a pigeon in the park.
Well, what ya reckon we sing a song, Dusty
Well, let's do it, Lefty
One, two, you know what to do
Well, I'm just an old cowboy with twigs in my hair
Two-thirds alligator and three-quarters bear
And one half a lion but let it be known
I never told one lie that was not my own
Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggy
I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
Don't boss me or cross me or I'll spit in your eye
I think what I please and I say what I mean
And I think all you women are the finest I've seen
Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggy
I love the prairie, say what you will
It's flat and it's dusty but I love it still
It's emtpy and lonely and tedious too
So maybe I'm crazy but what can I do
Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggy
Here comes the solo
Yeah, real good
I guess you can tell by the way we are dressed
We're are two cowboy of the wild west
Cowboy's who's boots have stepped into manour
Heroes of song and of literature
We ride in the snow and we ride in the rain
Just like Gene Autry, just like John Wayne
They were better cowboys then us and I mean it
And we are still living and that is convenient
Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggy
Whoop-i-ti-yi-yo, git along little doggies
Yoo-ah-lay-lee, yoo-ah-lay-lee, a-whooooo
Wha, hooooo
Don't give a dose to the one you love most.
Give her some marmalade...give her some toast.
You can give her the willies or give her the blues.
But the dose that you give her will get back to youse.
I once had a lady as sweet as a song.
She was my darlin', and she was my dear.
But she had a dose, and she passed it along.
Now she's gone, but the dose is still there.
So, don't give a dose to the one you love most.
Give her some marmalade...give her some toast.
You can give her a partiridge up in a pear tree,
But the dose that you give her might get back to me.
So if you've got an itchin'...if you've got a drip,
Don't sit there wishin' for it to go 'way.
If there's a thing on the tip of your thing or your lip,
Run down to the clinic today, and say...
"I won't give a dose to the one I love most.
I'll give her some marmalade...give her some toast."
Give her the willies or give her the blues,
But the dose that you give her will get back to you.
Lost sense of time and all seasons
Feel I've been beaten down
By the words of men who have no grounds
Can't sleep beneath the trees of wisdom
When your ax has cut the roots that feed them
Forked tongues in bitter mouths
Can drive a man to bleed from inside out
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I've seen the wicked fruit of your vine
Destroy the man who lacks a strong mind
Human pride sings a vengeful song
Inspired by the times you've been walked on
My stage is shared by many millions
Who lift their hands up high because they feel this
We are one We are strong
The more you hold us down the more we press on
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
I know I can't hold the hate inside my mind
'Cause what consumes your thoughts controls your life
So I'll just ask a question
A lonely simple question
I'll just ask one question
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if you did?
What if you lied?
What if I avenge?
What if eye for an eye?
What if your words could be judged like a crime?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?
What if? What if?
What if? What if?
What If I?

Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
She said "Come on baby I got a licence for love
And if it expires pray help from above"
In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
More, more, more
She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to be me babe
What set you free I need you hear by me
Because
In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell- "more, more, more"
He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long it don't mess up his hair.
I walked the world with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you
I'd sell my soul for you babe
For money to burn with you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Just, just, justa, justa to have you here by me
Because
In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"
In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more"
With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"
More, more, more.
Oh yeah little baby
she wants more
More, more, more, more, more.
Oh yeah little baby
she wants more
More, more, more, more.
How's the weather how's my father am I lonely heavens no
Mother mother are you listening, just a phone call to ease your mind
Life is perfect never better, distance making the heart grow blind
When you sent me off to see the world, where you scared that I might get hurt
Would I try a little tobacco, would I keep on hiking up my skirt
I'm hungry
I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine
I'm freezing
I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine
Yeah, I'm working, making money I'm just starting to build a name
I can feel it around the corner, I could make it any day
Mother mother can you hear me, sure I'm sober sure I'm sane
Life is perfect never better, still your daughter still the same
If I tell you what you want to hear, will it help you to sleep well at night
Are you sure that I'm your perfect dear, now just cuddle up and sleep tight
I'm hungry
I'm dirty
I'm losing my mind
Everything's fine
I'm freezing
I'm starving
I'm bleeding to death
Everything's fine
I miss you
I love you
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ...
We've broken our mirrors
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey hey [x6]
I'm so lonely, but that's okay, I shaved my head ...
And I'm not sad
And just maybe I'm to blame for all I've heard ...
But I'm not sure
I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet you there ...
But I don't care
I'm so horny, but that's okay ...
My will is good
Hey, hey hey [x6]
[x2]
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
I'm so happy 'cause today
I've found my friends ...
They're in my head
I'm so ugly, but that's okay, 'cause so are you ...
We've broken our mirrors (Alt: We broke our mirrors)
Sunday morning is everyday for all I care ...
And I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze ...
'Cause I've found god
Hey, hey hey [x6]
[x2]
I like it - I'm not gonna crack
I miss you - I'm not gonna crack
I love you - I'm not gonna crack
I killed you - I'm not gonna crack
I've seen this room and i've walked this floor,
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not some victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do you
Remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew is Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
We're a happy family
We're a happy family
Me mom and dad
Siting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines
We ain't got no friends
Our troubles never end
No Christmas cards to send
Daddy likes men
Daddy's telling lies
Baby's eating flies
Mommy's on pills
Baby's got the chills
I'm friends with the President
I'm friends with the Pope
We're all making a fortune
Selling Daddy's dope
Siting here in Queens
Eating refried beans
We're in all the magazines
Gulpin' down thorazines
a propped up photograph in a postcard trail
the little sun was setting on my hometown.
another night well spent--
blood in my eyes,
a drunken compass writing my epitaph.
the soundtrack to our success
and letters typed
but never sent.
Love ain't nobody's fault,
it's a slow sad waltz.
snowflakes falling in slow motion
as we hobble home across
cobblestone and the clouds
make sense of the sky.
There's only one first kiss
followed by pillow pardons
and matchbook poems
and making milestones
out of mistakes.
Love ain't a masquerade,
it's hand-me-down dreams
and dimestore fables
(another for my honey--boys,
you should see the way she dances)
yeah, there's a look that lingers--
sturdy and true.
saying something halfway
disintegrated dreams,
mistaking silence for shame,
the blessing and the blame.
Love ain't a competiton
so I'll parade the days
and take the fall
and go see about a ghost.
she came from way out west
with wine colored hair
and desrves to smile.
it all sounds so inviting
and I got it down in writing
but the shirt don't make the man.
in the damp, dark, distant night
old habits don't die hard.
all the lights are out--
a drastic mess,
chaos on the wall.
there's no flowers on the doorstep,
just a rose and briar
as we tell the stories of the ones
who got away--
we'd never waste a thunderstorm.
Oh, I'm on the Drinking Man's Diet,
It came from a book I was loaned.
It's really terrific and quite scientific
And I'm half stoned.
For breakfast some cornflakes and vodka,
But cornflakes have carbohydrate;
So I don't eat those fattening cornflakes,
I eat the vodka straight.
Drink, drink, everyone drink;
It's not as bad as we used to think.
With every Manhattan your stomach will flatten,
So drink, drink, drink.
The Air Force invented this diet,
A fact which they hotly deny.
Of course they deny it, 'cause this is the diet
That got the Air Force high.
For lunch you can have three martinis,
What better lunch is there than that?
But caution: do not eat the olives,
'Cause olives make you fat.
Drink, drink, everyone drink;
It's not as bad as we used to think.
If pounds you would burn off, then turn on your Smirnoff,
And drink, drink, drink.
For dinner, a nice Scotch and soda
Now that oughtta help you to lose.
No whipped cream, no butter, just lay in the gutter
And booze, booze, booze.
Suppose you should meet a policeman,
Who says you've been quenching your thirst;
You just tell him it's physical fitness
And health comes first!
Drink (hic!), drink (hic!), booze everywhere (hic!);
Pass that decanter of bourbon there.
I'm fatter than ever, but here's what's so clever:
I don't care!
There was a man back in '95
Whose heart ran out of summers
But before he died, I asked him
Wait, what's the sense in life
Come over me, Come over me
He said,
Son why you got to sing that tune
Catch a Dylan song or some eclipse of the moon
Let an angel swing and make you swoon
Then you will see... You will see
Then he said,
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
Picked up my kid from school today
Did you learn anything cause in the world today
You can't live in a castle far away
Now talk to me, come talk to me
He said,
Dad I'm big but we're smaller than small
In the scheme of things, well we're nothing at all
Still every mother's child sings a lonely song
So play with me, come play with me
And Hey Dad
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...
I said,
Son for all I've told you
When you get right down to the
Reason for the world...
Who am I?
There are secrets that we still have left to find
There have been mysteries from the beginning of time
There are answers we're not wise enough to see
He saidÂ… You looking for a clue I Love You free...
The batter swings and the summer flies
As I look into my angel's eyes
A song plays on while the moon is hiding over me
Something comes over me
I guess we're big and I guess we're small
If you think about it man you know we got it all
Cause we're all we got on this bouncing ball
And I love you free
I love you freely
Here's a riddle for you
Find the Answer
There's a reason for the world
You and I...

Lots of ways that you can go GO!
Look around NO disappears

Arnold Layne had a strange hobby
Collecting clothes
Moonshine washing line
They suit him fine
On the wall hung a tall mirror
Distorted view, see through baby blue
He dug it
Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Now he's caught - a nasty sort of person.
They gave him time
Doors bang - chain gang - he hates it
Oh, Arnold Layne
It's not the same, takes two to know
Two to know, two to know, two to know
Why can't you see?
Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne, Arnold Layne
Don't do it again.

If anyone met us, they'd surely agree
We're proper as any two people can be.
We're clean-cut, well-mannered,
Well-dressed and polite...
But, oh, if they'd see us at night
When we're drinkin' and druggin' and watchin' TV...
Eatin' cold pizza and drinkin' ice tea.
Just you and me and the devil makes three...
Drinkin' and druggin' and watchin' TV.
So you bring the chemicals, I bring the wine.
I fiddle with yours and you diddle with mine.
Then drunken and drugged, we fall back on our backs
Naturally performing unnatural acts
Such as drinkin' and druggin' and watchin' TV,
Eatin' cold pizza and drinkin' ice tea.
Just you and me and the devil makes three,
Drinkin' and druggin' and watchin' TV.
In the flickin' TV light we're goin' to hell...
Makin' love with the sound off to the P.T.L..
Jim Bakker can see what you're doin' to me...
Drinkin' and druggin' and watchin' TV.
So stop drinkin' and druggin' and watchin' TV,
Eatin' cold pizza and drinkin' ice tea...
Livin' your life degenerately,
Drinkin' and druggin' and watchin' TV.
While the scorekeeper doesn't know the score,
And who's on the floor with the doorman's darlin'
While the doorman's busy mannin' the door,
Someone's savin' the life of the lifeguard's wife
While the lifeguard's guardin' lives out in the sea,
And while I been movin' all around this town
Tell me who been movin' in on me?
Now who been diggin' the ditchdigger's daughter
While the ditchdigger's diggin' in the ditch,
And who's playin' switch with the switchman's bitch
While the switchman's busy twitchin' at his switch,
Someone's grabbin' the ass of the astronaut's lass
While the astronaut is flyin' through the blue,
And while I been goin' all around the world,
Who been goin' round the world with you?
I wonder who keeps gettin' into the innkeeper's cutie
While the innkeeper's keepin' the inn,
And who's cuttin' in on the tin cutter's sin
While that tin cutter's cuttin' his tin.
Someone's gettin' the honey from the beekeeper's honey
So what can a poor boy do. . .
I might as well go score with the scorekeeper's sweetie
While the scorekeeper's scorin' with you!
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her,
And soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother,
For she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matters worse,
Although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy.
My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle,
Though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle,
Then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother.
Father's wife then had a son,
Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson,
For he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She's my grandmother, too.
If my wife is my grandmother,
Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it,
It simply drives me wild.
For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa!
reminded me of this.....
Why, make me plead
For what I need
And I need you
Why, why make me weep
Cry in my sleep, 'cause I need you
Say "maybe"
Won't you even say "sometime", baby
Won't you ever say lovin' words again
Say, baby
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day
I've been around, finally found
That I need you
And I, I know what I got
And I got a lot
But, baby, I need you
Say "maybe"
Won't you even say "sometime", baby
Won't you ever say lovin' words again
Say, baby
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day
Ooh
What I'd do
Say 'maybe" baby
"Cause I need you
Say
Can I stay
Say "maybe" yeah
'Cause I need you
Say "maybe"
Won't you even say "sometime", baby
Won't you ever say lovin' words again
Say, baby
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day
Say, "maybe"
Don't you know I'm a fool about you
If I tried, I could live without you
For maybe a day

Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Now it's Turkish delight on a moonlit night
Every gal in Constantinople
Lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople
So if you've a date in Constantinople
She'll be waiting in Istanbul
Even old New York was once New Amsterdam
Why they changed it I can't say
People just liked it better that way
So take me back to Constantinople
No, you can't go back to Constantinople
Been a long time gone, Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works
That's nobody's business but the Turks
