Gimme Number 9
Gimme number 9,
With a whoop-de-doo.
I'd like a side of fries,
And a milkshake too.
Put some mayo and some lettuce...
Add pickles just a few.
Exercise and diets I've given the boot!
I'm gonna lick my fingers...
Everyone publicly.
And flaunt my greed,
Feeding my gluttony.
All this talk about slimming down,
And losing pounds.
I aint into it,
Cause I like my body round!
And glad,
To flab...
My fat!
Don't deny me now...

Take that scale away.
I'm glad,

Everyday I will be glad,
To flab...

'Singing that may be a good incentive,
For you.
However...
You have annoyed the others,
In this weight reduction class.
So until you find another motivational song to sing...
You'll be running an extra five laps.'
A what?
I was just teasing everyone!
'Oh...
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
Make that 10.
And sing it as much as you'd like.
Hit the track.'
I hate people with no humor at all.
Especially the ones who make bad calls...
'And you,
Will run...
Your ass!
Quick and snappy,
Yes!
You,
Will run...
Real fast!
Or...
Get
Out
Of
This
Class!
We ARE serious about this, mister.'

If Walls Could Talk
(bobby miller)
Well, if things could talk then Im sure youd hear
A lot of things to make you cry my dear
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk
Now, if shoes could tell where theyve been
When you say youve been visiting a friend
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
He-he-hey, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that shoes dont talk
Now, if doors could tell whos turned the knob
When hes away out on his job
If cars could tell whos been inside
And whos been taking you out for a ride
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that cars dont talk
In a world of trouble Id be
If things ever told on me
My whole life would be through
cause Im guilty, how about you ?
If things ever talk that way
Aint no telling what they might say
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk

I know all your desires
Your heart is so full of pain
Is there something I can provide
When you feel like life's passed you by
I'm on your side

Trust me just let yourself go
And that's all you need to know
I'm on your side
Sincerely
I'm your only friend
Yes I'm on your side

Don't you wish you had it all
Don't you deserve to have it all
Kneel down and tell me what you need
Fame and money all for you
I can make your every dream come true

How could the world be so cruel
I'll make you my own precious jewel
I'm on your side

I'm the only one that cares
Yes I'm on your side
Sincerely
Don't you wish you had it all
Don't you deserve to have it all
Kneel down and tell me what you need
Fame and money all for you
I can make your every dream come true
There is one thing
I mean everything has a price
I really hate to repeat myself
But nothing's free
Yes I'm on your side
Sincerely
I'm the only one that cares
Oh I'm on your side

Don't you wish you had it all
Don't you deserve to have it all

I Must Go On A Diet!
Yes, I must go on a diet! I really, really must!
Yes, it's true I'd loathe to try it, but if I don't, I'll bust!
I know it's hip, this losing weight, to join a gym and such,
But exercise, I'd simply hate, as I don't like it much...
My belly's not worth looking at, it bulges now and then...
I'd merely roll, flat on the mat and not get up again...
I'll make a stand and walk it off, at double time, I guess!
Who cares if others stare and scoff, if I weigh less and less?
I've never run a marathon and know I never will.
I'd simply say, I can't go on! No stamina or skill...
I'll walk the streets or buy a bike, until my belly's right...
I'll give up all the cakes I like, chew carrots day and night!
I'll switch to fruits and vegetables... I'll do the best I can,
I'll overcome all obstacles to look like Peter Pan!
Ta-ta to sweet treats, smokes and beers! I'll live temptation free!
Who knows? It may take months! Or years! Or decades! Goodness me!
Too late to talk me out of it! My mind's made up, my friend...
I'll get this weight off, bit by bit, on that you can depend!
I'll tone up muscles here and there... I'll fight the flab each day!
Before and after! Please compare... The diet's worked O.K.!

Been to the mount, seen the other side
Money back, number one, guaranteed

Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds

Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds

Well Ive seen the hard times and the pressures been on me
But I keep on workin like the workin man do
And Ive got my act together, gonna walk all over you
(chorus)
Gimme back my bullets
Put em back where they belong
Aint foolin around cause I done had my fun
Aint gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back my bullets
Sweet talkin people done ran me out of town
And I drank enough whiskey to float a battleship around
But Im leavin this game one step ahead of you
And you will not hear me cry cause I do not sing the blues
(chorus)
Gimme back my bullets
Put em back where they belong
Aint foolin around cause I done had my fun
Aint gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh, put em back... where they belong
Been up and down since I turned seventeen
Well Ive been on top, and then it seems I lost my dream
But I got it back, Im feelin better everyday
Tell all those pencil pushers, better get out of my way
(chorus)
Gimme back my bullets
Put em back where they belong
Aint foolin around, cause I done had my fun
Aint gonna see no more damage done
Gimme back, gimme back my bullets
Oh put em back where they belong

Lie down
We can do this all night
I know u got a young man

Hes darker than quicksand
Hes taller than a tree
What u need is some real lovin
Instead of these young-ass fools
I got the butter 4 your muffin
Just need the keys 2 the room
Chorus:
Come on, baby (shake it now)
Come on shake it now (come on, baby)

We could freeze in london
U could hear me sing (hear me sing)
And if u wanna make love then (come on)
U got 2 wear my ring (put it on, put it on)
Cuz I dont want no mistress (talk 2 her)
Id much rather be bound (totally open)
Lets find a preacher
So we can get down, down, down
Chorus
Come on
Ha, ha - u and your girlfriend
Yall 2 of a kind
Just runnin these knuckleheads
3 and 4 at a time
Both of us want babies
But u still actin wild
The first rule in makin one
U cant be no child
Instead of hittin that remy (hittin that remy)
Why dont yall hit the door? (hit the door)
Ill book us on the red eye
And well be good 2 go (good 2 go)
And if every life has got a reason
U can be mine
Perfume in the bath, darlin
Champagne while we dine
Come on, baby (shake it now)
Come on shake it now (come on, baby)
Come on, baby (shake it now)

And u aint gimme no love
Could it be another brotha man
That ure thinking of?
Or could it be your girlfriend
Who never ever been straight
When I ask u - are u hungry? (hungry)
U say u already ate (ooh)
U can play me if u wanna
But u better let me know (let me know, baby)
I dont need 2 play the good licks
If there aint gonna be no show
Im better off sleepin with my guitar
If u aint gonna sing
Strapped 2 the body
Makin love 2 the strings
(yeah, baby)
Come on, baby - come on shake it now {x4}
(gimme, gimme good love)
Instead of talkin about babies (come on)
If we aint gonna make love
U cant do nothing 4 me, 4 me

I am the icecream man known as mellow
Now would you like to say hello to my fellow
Me and my amigos sittin all on a bench
Somewhere down in puerto rico
Two coco-honeys step by
They lookin manefico so i
Step to em yeah how you doin
I took a close second cause I knew that I knew em
Bingo let me drop all my lingo
I make her understand that I am still single
So honey dont you worry no way
I got a truck full of plastics here to stay
Whoop whoop just slide a little whoop whoop just ride a little
Whoop whoop baby baby get down little in the middle surrounded by a big round
Chocolate banana vanilla flavour
You can try any damn thing I do you that favour
But later on you got to be here by my side
Waitin for a saddle to ride
We gonna do a thing thats mega
I am havin way more sex than kiddies playin sega
And like noriega I am dictatin the game
And I dont stop until you scream out my name
So honey dont you worry no way
I got a truck full of plastics here to stay
Whoop whoop just slide a little whoop whoop just ride a little
Whoop whoop baby baby get down little in the middle surrounded by a big round
(jammin with the drumz)
Whoop whoop just slide a little whoop whoop just ride a little
Whoop whoop baby baby get down little in the middle surrounded by a big round

A Poet's Wooing
I woo'd a woman once,
But she was sharper than an eastern wind.
Tennyson
"What may I do to make you glad,
To make you glad and free,
Till your light smiles glance
And your bright eyes dance
Like sunbeams on the sea?
Read some rhyme that is blithe and gay
Of a bright May morn and a marriage day?"
And she sighed in a listless way she had,--
"Do not read--it will make me sad!"
"What shall I do to make you glad--
To make you glad and gay,
Till your eyes gleam bright
As the stars at night
When as light as the light of day
Sing some song as I twang the strings
Of my sweet guitar through its wanderings?"
And she sighed in the weary way she had,--
"Do not sing--it will make me sad!"
"What can I do to make you glad--
As glad as glad can be,
Till your clear eyes seem
Like the rays that gleam
And glint through a dew-decked tree?--
Will it please you, dear, that I now begin
A grand old air on my violin?"
And she spoke again in the following way,--
"Yes, oh yes, it would please me, sir;
I would be so glad you'd play
Some grand old march--in character,--
And then as you march away
I will no longer thus be sad,
But oh, so glad--so glad--so glad!"

Body Of A Man
what i lost
was simply my body
the flat abdomen
gave in to negligent
fats
my strong muscled
arms
got the flab
i detest what my
mirror shows me
this is not me
i tell myself
this is me
the truth insists
too much sitting
too much poetry
the thinking finally
kills the body
the spirit soars
this is the real me
forget the body
i finally proclaim
myself before me
Creator

You've Made Me Glad/Who Is Like The Lord
You put a song in my heart rythm in my step
Praise as my garment for the spirit of heaviness
Beauty for ashes joy for my pain
Love overwhelming causes me to say
(Chorus)
You've made me glad
You've made me glad
You've made me glad
Lord I will rejoice because You have
You've made me glad
You've made me glad
You've made me glad
Lord I will rejoice because You have made me glad
So I will lift my hands and lift my voice
The way I feel I have no choice
You made me glad
I'm gonna dannce and sing and shout for joy
And praise Your name I will rejoice
You made me glad
Lord we declare
Who can compare
Who would even dare
Cause there is no one like You

Big Fat Money
Some say money is bad for the soul
Bad for the rock, bad for the roll
Bad for the heart, bad for the brain
Bad for damn near everything, oh yeah
It must be good for something
Come on pay the rent
Telephone, telefax, telefunkin teletrash
Tell a cop, tell a friend
Think weve hit the stoney end
Nothin left, nothin right
Now they want a bigger bite
Everybody wants some
Everybody wants some big money, oh yeah
They want big fat money
Thats what I want
Big fat money
Too much temptation
Enough to kill a generation
Space station, starvation, premature ejaculation
This aint groovin, this aint funky
Its on my back
But it aint my monkey, no
Oh yeah, gimme some of that big big money
Thats what I want
Big fat money
Big fat money
Smoke this, eat that
My ol ladys gettin fat
High rise, high rent
Before its earned, its all been spent
Wheres it gonna come from?
Whos it gonna go to?
Aint beatin, but Im being eatin by money, oh yeah
Big big money, gimme, gimme, gimme
Some of that big money, alright
Thats want I want
Well alright, oh, big big money
Now gimme, gimme, gimme
Some of that big money
Thats what I want
Thats all I need
Gimme big fat money
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
Gimme some of that big fat money
