Well, I said a-Shotgun
Shoot it for me right, child
Love me, love me, baby
And shoot it for me *right, hey*
A-well you're walking down your street
And, oh, what do you hear?
There's music everywhere
Shoot it for me right, child
Well, I said a-Shotgun
Shoot it for me right, child
Love me, love me, baby
And shoot it for me right, hey
Well, I said a-Shotgun
Shoot it for me right, child
Love me, love me, baby
And shoot it for me right, hey
SOUTHBOUND TRAIN
(Call/McFee)
Well, I've been here so long
All my days are sad and *drawn*
I go out so late
Now will I ever get out of this place?
Going down to the station, gonna catch that Southbound Train
I'm going down to the station, gonna catch that Southbound Train
Oh, and I'm gonna bring you back home, or I ain't coming back again
If you really love me only
How come you leave me sad and lonely?
A-baby, why'd you leave me this way?
'Cause I don't got no place to stay
Going down to the station, gonna catch that Southbound Train
Well, I'm going down to the station, gonna catch that Southbound Train
And I'm gonna bring you back home, or I ain't coming back again
If I could get my way, I'd get out of this world
Around here there just ain't no hope at all
Ooh
If I could get my way, I'd get out of this world
Around here there just ain't no hope at all
Ooh
Well, I've been here so long
All my days are sad and *drawn*
I go out so late
Now will I ever get out of this place?
I'm going down to the station, gonna catch that Southbound Train
Ooh, I'm going down to the station, gonna catch that Southbound Train
And I'll bring you back home, or I ain't coming back again
GOING TO THE COUNTRY
(Ciambotti/Call)
Well, I had hard luck in the city
With people running wild
I got no time to think for myself
So I'll be going, child
Going to the Country (Going to the Country)
Leave that town behind (Leave that town behind)
Going to the Country (Going to the Country)
Before I lose my mind
Well the city's full of policeman
They got a *wind* on every street
I just got time to pack my bags
And point my big, fat feet
Going to the Country (Going to the Country)
Gonna leave that heat behind (Leave that heat behind)
Going to the Country (Going to the Country)
Before I lose my mind
Well, the air's so foul that I can't breath
Without a gas mask on my face
Say, I don't see how you and me
Can live in such disgrace
Going to the Country (Going to the Country)
Gonna leave that smog behind (leave that smog behind)
Going to the Country (Going to the Country)
Before I lose my mind
Going to the Country, child, you know, I'm gonna leave that *schuck* behind
Going where it's funky, child, before I lose my mind
Well, I'm going up where the hills are green
And there ain't no one around
Just me and my country girl
And that is why I'm bound
Going to the Country (Going to the Country)
Gonna leave that town behind (Leave that town behind)
Going to the Country (Going to the Country)
Before I lose my mind
Ooh, gonna leave
And I can't take it, now I can't take it any longer
Gonna leave
Oh, gonna leave
Oh, bye, bye
Oh, bye, bye
Oh, bye, bye, bye
MONOPOLY
(Ciambotti)
Oh, I don't give a damn 'bout no Sherman Anti-Trust Act
Or other crazy government rules
Ain't no high-ranking senator a-gonna try to stop me
'Cause I got a Monopoly on you
And I couldn't care less about an act of congress
I want to own all of your heart
And you can tell those other guys that they ain't a-getting nothing
'Cause there's nothing gonna tear us apart
Oh, but jealousy sometimes over takes him, makes me act like a fool
We can form a Monopoly of love together and to one another be true
"Take it, McFee!"
"Alright, Ed!"
Well, I've paid up my dues and I'm up on my taxes
I'm sure that the merger will go through
And all I need to purchase is a ring for your finger
To complete my Monopoly on you
Oh, I don't give a damn 'bout no Sherman Anti-Trust Act
Or other crazy government rules
Ain't no high-ranking senator a-gonna try to stop me
'Cause I got a Monopoly on you
And I couldn't care less about an act of congress
I want to own all of your heart
And you can tell those other guys that they ain't a-getting nothing
'Cause there's nothing gonna tear us apart
Oh, but jealousy sometimes over takes him, makes me act like a fool
We can form a Monopoly of love together and to one another be true
Yeah, we can form a Monopoly of love together and to one another be true
STEALIN'
(Call/Bogas)
Well, put your arms around me like a circle 'round the sun
You know I love you and you're my only one
But you don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
You don't believe I'm sinking, look at the hole I'm in
You know I'm Stealin'
Well I'm Stealin'
Said pretty mama don't you tell on me
'Cause I'm Stealin' back to my same old used to be
You don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
(you know you really don't believe me)
You don't believe I'm sinking
I wanted to buy you pretty things
But I don't have no money so I went Stealin'
And pretty mama don't you tell on me
Oh, 'cause I'm a-stealin' back to my same old used to be
Ooh
Ooh
Oh, no
Ooh

NO VACANCY
(Ciambotti)
There's a room in your heart for every man in town
But there ain't no vacancy for me
On the back door of your love, well I just hang around
No there ain't no vacancy for me
I never had a heart for a home
And I never had a love to call my own
I'm waiting at your door on my knees
There ain't no vacancy for me
Well, I've been asked by other girls to move into their heart
But I ain't found one I wanted for mine
When I asked you for your love, you close up your doors
And you hang out a "no vacancy" sign
Well you rented out your heart to my best friend
All he ever paid you in was aches and pain
Now I come around to buy out his lease
But your story for me is still the same
I never had a heart for a home
And I never had a love to call my own
I'm waiting at your door on my knees
There ain't no vacancy for me
No, there ain't no vacancy
LIZARD ROCK'N'ROLL BAND
(Bogas/Call)
I was trucking through the desert, there was nothing forty miles around
I stopped to take a breather and I thought I heard a jiving sound
Well, I didn't have my radio
So I knew I must be crazy or the sound was coming out of the ground
I got down on my knees and I started crawling 'round in the sand
I came upon a boulder and I rolled that rock away with my hand
You know, I really couldn't believe my eyes
That music was a-coming from a Lizard Rock and Roll Band
They had a wizard lead guitarist and the drummer kept the backbeat with his tail
The rhythm was a-jumping and the sax man was blowing his scales, ooh
Well, I went to grab the leader of the band
When I went to pick him up, his tail came off in my hand
*Lounge* Lizard
A Lizard Rock and Roll Band
Lounge Lizard
A Lizard Rock and Roll Band

COME
(Call)
Well, I can see your crying
And I cry, too
There ain't no sense in trying
To be anybody but you
You gonna come
Come before the night is over
Don't you wanna come?
Come before the night is through
Why don't you come?
Come before the night is over
Baby just a-me and you
Well you've been so frustrated
And there's *laugh* by all your teachers, too
Well they been looking but they ain't been seeing
All of the good things that you can do

Come before the night is over
Ooh, you gonna come
Come before the night is through
