@ALBUM: Duck Stab! The Residents 1977 Ralph Records All songs by the Residents except "Sinister Exaggerator", by the Residents and Snakefinger. --------------------------------------------- @SONG: Laughing Song An oily ole egg with a red peg leg Thought a porquepine was his daughter But he soon found out That she had the gout And often would wink underwater HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HO HO HO HO HO HO HO HE HE HE HE HE HE HE HA HA HA HA HA HA HA A red red rose saw a big pig pose On the edge of a silver dollar The end of his tail Was a long-necked nail And in place of his face was a scholar -------------------------------------------- @SONG: Blue Rosebuds I love you and 'cause I do My sky has changed >From grey to blue But blue's not just A color of the rainbow It's shade is not a hazy hue But pure and hard My blue sky blue It's like a Roman candle Coming rosebuds "Your words are empty hollow bleatings Of a mental crutch They're open-festered indigestion With a velvet touch An ether-eating Eskimo Would gag upon your sight Convulsed into oblivion >From laughter or from fright A coma with a swee t aroma Is your only dream Malignant with the misconception That a grunt can gleam Your lichen-covered corpuscles Are filthy to my fist Infection is your finest flower Mildewed in the mist." I love you and 'cause I do My skies have changed >From grey to blue But blue's not just a color Of the rainbow It's shade is not a hazy hue But pure and hard My blue sky blue It's like a Roman candle Coming rosebuds Blue rosebuds ---------------------------------------------------------- @SONG: Constantinople Here I come Constantinople Here I come coConstantinople I am coming Constantinople Here I come All the leaves are off of the oak and All of the sheep have followed the spoken Word. I'm coming Constantinople Here I come So I stand out in the open All my friends are with you I hope and pray. I'm coming Constantinople Here I come. Here I come Constantinople Here I come Constantinople I am coming Constantinople Here I come ------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: The Booker Tease -Instrumental- ------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Sinister Exaggerator Your life is leaning downhill Sloping off the outer edge Your undetermined oyster beds Were found to be a hedge You cause the kids of Elmer Fudd To feed the farmer whose Cadaver's filled with onion rings And feet are filled with glue Now sinister exaggerator What's your claim to fame? Is still your favorite Ferlingetti Found in Auntie Maim? Your alter life is superceded Only from above Your hear is like a silken sponge That calls saliva love ------------------------------------------------------ @SONG: Bach Is Dead Bach is dead Bach is dead Bach is dead Bach is dead Walking women want to see The Southern Cross at night And so they set aside a sock And tie their laces tight Yes mournful is the melody That echoes in their heads Without a beat they march along Believing Bach is dead Bach is dead -------------------------------------------------- @SONG: Elvis and His Boss Oh, I'm gonna be my baby, baby Baby, but you see My momma said My momma said My momma said to me "My son I see the sunset lies About a baby bee." So if you see me I'll be standing Out on ole Broadway Amused, abused, but not confused I'm making my own way Straight to the top I'll never stop I'll die before my day ---------------------------------------------------------------
