Here Come the Skunks

Ladies and gentlemen
The fabulous Skunks
Yeah yeah yeah
Here come the Skunks

Here come the Skunks looking armed and ready
Clearing the floor of a crowded room
Blasting our ears with their latest weapon
Horrible songs that are out of tune

But you don't tell a Skunk that they got no rhythm
Don't tell a Skunk that the band sounds bad
Try not to laugh at their stupid lyrics
That's gonna make 'em get steaming mad

Just say okay
Just let them play
Don't want to make 'em feel unhappy in any way

Ladies and gentlemen
The fabulous Skunks
Yeah yeah yeah
Here come the Skunks

If you see the Skunks playing live in concert
Don't let 'em know what you really think
Critics have warned of their harsh vendettas
You're taking a risk if you say they stink

Tell 'em they're cool
Say "the Skunks rule"
Unless you're prepared to hold your breath
And jump in the pool

Ladies and gentlemen
The fabulous Skunks
Yeah yeah yeah
Here come the Skunks

They are the best
From east to west
A runaway success
And I do mean run away
Run away

Ladies and gentlemen
Those horrible Skunks
Aaaaaaa
Here come the Skunks
Run away run away
Here come the Skunks
Run away
Here come the Skunks

Teen Angst-a-Rama

Party to the left of them
Party to the right of them
Into the valley of mirth
Rode the young rebels
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama, babe

Party to the left of them
Party to the right of them
Into the valley of mirth
Rode the young rebels

With their fatalistic stare
And their I'm-so-tortured hair
And their trademark style that said
"Speak of the devil"

Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Babe

When life is looking bleak
And your smile is up the creek
And you're getting all existential
On your diary

When this boy-girl-boy triangle
Has collapsed into a tangle
Now you'd like to skip
That senior trip entirely

Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Babe

Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Dude

You're beautiful
You're young
The world is yours
So what gets you so down?
You have seasonal affective disorder
All year round

When your best friend's gone all Judas
All your teachers are computers
And your father can be awfully stubborn
Can't he?

You can't stay here at home
But there's nowhere else to go
You have to choose between
College and insanity

Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Babe

Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Teen angst, teen angst-a-rama
Dude

Boyfriend from Another Planet

My boyfriend is like from another planet
When I say something nice he doesn't understand it
I have to grab him and tell him "dammit
Don't act like you're from another planet"

If he's from a planet (it's a planet)
It's a planet that's incredibly dense, incredibly dense.
But he says "your input doesn't compute,
You don't make any sense, don't make any sense"
He says "I am from Zarvox -- Zarvox, New Jersey
It's you who have gotten all alien, strange, and unearthly."

Oh, this boyfriend
Boyfriend
Stranger from the planet of the boyfriends

My boyfriend is like from Mars or Venus
There's so much empty space between us
In space no one can hear the screamers
But we sure yelled, you should have seen us

I said "You're from a planet (from a planet)
From a planet that's amazingly dim, amazingly dim"
He said the asteroids I was throwing
Made no impact craters on him, no craters on him
He said "I am from Zarvox -- Zarvox, New Jersey
It's you who have gotten all alien, strange, and unearthly."

Oh, this boyfriend
Boyfriend
Stranger from the planet of the boyfriends
Stranger from the planet of the boyfriends

I said I wanna see your spaceship
When you take your flights up
And I bet you have an implant and sometimes it lights up
He said I'm not permitted to show you that stuff
I've probably already said too much
I'm just an ordinary boy from Zarvox
I'm just a boy from Zarvox
In central New Jersey
I can prove I'm not a spaceman
'Cause hyperspace makes me queasy

My boyfriend is like from another dimension
The way he acts defies comprehension
I think he even got a mention
In Who's Who From the Eighth Dimension

Boyfriend
Boyfriend
Stranger from the planet of the boyfriends
Stranger from the planet of the boyfriends
Stranger from the planet of the boyfriends

I Buried Paul

Paul was my name and it caused lot o' hassles
'Cause there are millions of Pauls and so many of them are assles
Just to say, "Hey, Paul," it's a misdemeanor
It's like yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater
When Paul does a crime
And I get the blame
I made up my mind
I'm changing my name and

I buried Paul
I buried Paul
Arms and legs and all
Yes, I buried Paul

I went to the name store to buy me another
I said, "Don't sell me Rick, because that's my brother."
I tried to buy Bruce, but it was preempted
Bob was marked down, but I couldn't be tempted
I said, "Sam is too plain
Biff is too quirky
And don't sell me Tom
Because it sounds like a turkey with

Cranberry sauce
Cranberry sauce
I can't be the boss
With cranberry sauce"

So what will it be? Wallace or Wendall
Christian or Kyle, Kurtis or Kendall
Tommy or Timmy or Tony or Terry
It's hard to decide 'cause it's so arbitrary

How nice to meet you, I'm Marcus or Manny
or Dylan or Dawson or Dieter or Danny
If you had a vote: Vintner or Vance
Liam or Lander, Lucas or Lance?

Nathan and Nigel are nice-sounding names
and Jeffrey and Jesse, Joey and James
Ryan and Roy both have a good ring
And Cyrus and Seamus, Stanley and Sting

I'll be signing my letters as Lucid or Larry
or Hercules, Homer, Helmut, or Harry
I'll change all my checks to Charlie or Chip,
or Sander or Steven or Simon or Skip.

I settled on Skip, which made everyone happy.
Than I ran into Max, who used to be Kathy
I told her about my name while we drank something fizzy
I used lots of verbs to make the story sound busy
The shadows grew long
I went on and on
Hit every detail
She started to yawn

She said "I'm very bored
I'm very bored
You are very boring
And I'm very bored"

I said "I buried Paul
I buried Paul
I have buried Paul
Yes, I buried Paul"

Honk (if You Love Monsters)

Honk if you love monsters
Honk if you love monsters
Honk if you love monsters
Honk if you love monsters

Extra Garlic

At the Sunnydale Diner there were vampires left and right
And I started to fear we wouldn't make it through the night
But my good friend Buffy didn't quiver and quake
She just asked the waitress for a chicken cheese steak

with extra garlic
with extra garlic
extra garlic
gotta have that extra garlic

I thought that was weird so I asked her why
She said trust me and had a look in her eye
She said I'd recommend the same for you
So I turned to the waitress and said make that two

with extra garlic
with extra garlic
extra garlic
don't forget the extra garlic

I kept a watchful eye for any vampire attack
Then five minutes later the waitress came back
She said I've got your Pepsi and your milk shake here
Now what was that you wanted on your cheese steaks, dear

and we said extra garlic
a lot of extra garlic
extra garlic
we need our extra garlic

My Plan for World Domination

I've got a plan for world domination
I've got a plan to claim the throne
First I'll kill all the dinosaurs
Then I'll pick my teeth with a dinosaur bone

I've got a plan for world domination
I've got a plan to grab the crown
First I'll round up the heads of state
And I'll make them live at the edge of town

Oh, world domination
Oh, yeah, world domination

I've got a plan for world domination
I'll stake my claim on a vast empire
First I'll cut all the tall trees down
And toast marshmallows over a mighty bonfire

Oh, world domination
Oh, yeah, world domination

We've got a plan for world domination
We've got a plan that cannot fail
You can join us now or serve us later
We're almost there, and the check's in the mail

Oh, world domination
Oh, yeah, world domination
Oh, world domination
Oh, yeah, world domination

Who's Undead?

Who's undead?
Your brother
Who's undead?
Your mother
Who's undead?
Your dad's undead

Who's undead?
Schoolteachers
Who's undead?
Strange creatures
Who's undead?
Your cat's undead

In a world where death is thriving
Your basic challenge is surviving
Move fast, stay low, and don't be seen
You lose your cool, it's such a bummer
There's the girl you knew last summer
She's now the zombie beauty queen

Who's undead?
Your friends are
Who's undead?
Trent Reznor
Who's undead?
The grateful undead

In a town that's unforgiving
For those not dead and yet still living
Get out of the house while you still can
The car won't start, you're out on foot now
Leave the high heels in the dirt now
'Cause here comes zombie businessman

Sign right here to become the exclusive property
of Zombie Entertainment Corporation

Who's undead?
Ralph Nader
Who's undead?
Darth Vader
Who's undead?
Weird Al's undead

They're all undead?
Indeed they are
It's verified
I'm filled with dread
And scared and chilled
And terrified

Beating a Dead Horse (part 5)

Every clock stopped
All over the world
At quarter to five local time
We'll never go home
We're trapped in this meeting
The same folks repeating
The same points and counterpoints again
Forever amen
You think, is this hell?
It's not what I expected.
Where are all the stalactites and stuff?
I'll tell you a secret
We're under a spell
The needle keeps skipping
'Til someone has the courage to stand up and say
This horse is dead

This horse is dead
This horse is dead now
Dead dead dead
This horse is dead
This horse is dead
This horse is dead
And you can stop beating it into the ground
'Cause it's totally dead

The clocks all are ticking
It's there to remind us
We each have our own death straight ahead
Though we never know when
There's a time for sticking
And a time for quitting
It's like Kenny Rogers' gambler said
"This horse is dead"

This horse is dead
This horse is dead now
Dead dead dead
This horse is dead
This horse is dead
This horse is dead
And you can stop beating it into the ground
'Cause it's totally dead
Get it through your thick head
We've knocked off Mister Ed
It's not soap opera dead
It's not fashion trend dead
It's Monty Python parrot dead
Meaning fatally dead
This horse is dead
This horse is dead
And you can stop beating it right now
And let's all go home

(part 6)
