LYRICS


Hamsters for Kerry

Water surrounded me...
It seemed like it would be the end of me...
A hand came from above...
I was saved by John Kerry’s glove...

1,2,3… 1,2,3…Hamsters for John Kerry.

We will travel over land...
We will not travel over sea...
Behind our hamster wheels,...
We will have a picture of John Kerry...

1,2,3… 1,2,3… Hamsters for John Kerry.

We will not give into fear..
We will not give into pain..
True to John Kerry.
we will remain...

1,2,3,… 123... Hamsters for John Kerry.

Amusing Patterns

There are things that we can lose and find a lot.
One thing that we can lose and find a lot are glasses.
One thing that we can lose and find a lot are nail clippers.
One thing that we can lose and find a lot are hats.

There are amusing patterns
that make for amusing things.

There are amusing patterns
that make for amusing things.

People can do things at different speeds. One can open a door quickly.
One can open a door very slowly.
One can honk their horn a lot and be very annoying.
One can honk very little and be soothing.

There are amusing patterns
That make for amusing things

There are amusing patterns
that make for amusing things.

People can be polarized by certain issues.
Some people like to use soap and some like to use body wash.
Some people like to call people by one name and some people like to call them by another.
Some people like vaccines and some people don’t.

There are amusing patterns
that make for amusing things.

There are amusing pattern
that make for amusing things.

Girl Fight

You’ve uttered too many insults too many times.
I try to ignore it, but you are way out of line.
I throw a slap. You pull my hair.
Your polished nails become claws. You tear and you tear.

Girl fight, girl fight, going at each other with all our might.
There are no punches pulled. We’ll just see to who victory unfolds.

We grab each other; wrestle on the ground.
Grunt and scream; curses resound.
There is blood, or is there lipstick everywhere.
The mascara runs. We fall over a chair.

Girl fight, girl fight, going at each other with all our might.
There are no punches pulled. We’ll just see to who victory unfolds.

After a while, I’m not through,
but you remain in your position glued.
Yes, you do wallow in defeat,
but your contempt for me is now complete.

Girl fight, girl fight, going at each other with all our might.
There are no punches pulled. We’ll just see to who victory unfolds.

The Lost in Space Song

Father, John Robinson, astrophysicist, leader on old show.
Mother, Maureen Robinson, biochemist, nurturer on old show.
Mother, Maureen Robinson, [aerospace engineer], leader on new show.
John Robinson, ex-Navy Seal, sees lots of action on new show.

Lots of cliffhangers, lots of shocks;
Old show is the campiest of the lot.
Alpha Centauri is the goal.
New show has many more humans in the fold.

Judy Robinson, oldest of three siblings, non-medic, has close relationship with Don West on old show.
Don West, pilot, very serious, hates Dr. Smith on old show.
Judy Robinson has a brother and sister, medic, just friends with Don West on new show.
Don West, mechanic, very funny, does not hate Dr. Smith on new show.

Lots of cliffhangers, lots of shocks;
Old show is the campiest of the lot.
Alpha Centauri is the goal.
New show has many more humans in the fold.

Dr. Smith, played by Parker Posey, not as sinister as old Dr. Smith.
Dr. Smith wants an easy life; manipulates, commits [serious] crimes to do it.
Both Smiths are flamboyant. Both Smiths have good qualities.
New Smith can be brave. Old Smith can be sorry.

Lots of cliffhangers, lots of shocks;
Old show is the campiest of the lot.
Alpha Centauri is the goal.
New show has many more humans in the fold.

Dr. Smith, robot expert, manipulates robot and Will on new show.
New Smith, computer expert, manipulates just about everyone on new show.
Old robot, made by humans, has good relationship with kind, smart Will.
New robot, comes from outer space has a complicated relationship with Will.

Lots of cliffhangers, lots of shocks;
Old show is the campiest of the lot.
Alpha Centauri is the goal.
New show has many more humans in the fold.

What Goes Around Goes Around

I Work hard, I take my time.
I hope that will be returned in kind.
I work on things diligently.
I hope that will be returned with dignity.
(pleasant melody)

What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.
(pleasant melody)

I live my life compassionately.
I care about living things.
I live my life quietly,
but I still like me.
(pleasant melody)

What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.
What goes around comes around.
(pleasant melody)

I care about me and my family.
I only care about a good life for me.
I wish that many would be like me.
Then things would really get humming.
(intimidating melody)

What goes around goes around.
What goes around goes around.
What goes around goes around,
At least for a long, long time.
(intimidating melody)

I wish that many were taught my way.
Real love and compassion are not so great.
Fighting for oneself should be the learned thing.
My success shows people should be like me.
(Intimidating melody)

What goes around goes around.
What goes around goes around.
What goes around goes around,
At least for a long, long time.
(intimidating melody)

I care about me and my family.
I only care about a good life for me.
I wish that many would be like me.
Then things would really get humming.
(pleasant melody)

What goes around goes around.
What goes around goes around.
What goes around goes around,
At least for a long, long time.
(pleasant melody)

I wish that many were taught my way.
Real love and compassion are not so great.
Fighting for oneself should be the learned thing.
My success shows people should be like me.
(pleasant melody)

What goes around goes around.
What goes around goes around.
What goes around goes around.
At least for a long, long time.
(pleasant melody)
