Your Mother Should Know
The Beatles

Let's all get up and dance to a song
That was a hit before your mother was born
Though she was born a long, long time ago
Your mother should know




That's All Right, Mama Elvis Presley

Well, that's all right, mama
That's all right for you
That's all right, mama
Just any way you do
That's all right
That's all right
That's all right now, mama
Any way you do

Mama We're All Crazy Now - Slade

I don't want to drink my whisky like you do
I don't need to spend my money but still do
Don't stop now a c-'mon
Another drop now c-'mon
I wanna lot now so c-'mon
That's right
That's right
I said Mama but we're all crazy now
I said Mama but we're all crazy now

Mother Universe - Soup Dragons

She's in love with heaven above
Well i think she is religious
Eyes of gold and lips are bold
With a look is suspicious
Love with god his every world
Is all she ever wanted
Soul is clean and so serene
Her head it is haunted

I'll never find what it's
Worth, Mother Universe

Shop Around by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

When I became of age my mother called me to her side.
She said, "Son, you're growing up now, pretty soon you'll take a bride."
And then she said, "Just because you've become a young man now,
There's still some things that you don't understand now.
Before you ask some girl for her hand now,
Keep your freedom for as long as you can now."
My mama told me, "You better shop around."

Travis: Mother

Mother are you mad at me
Mother are you scared
That someday you will turn around
And look to find
Your blue eyed boy's not there?

Mother - Pink Floyd

Mother, do you think they'll drop the bomb?
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Mother, do you think they'll try to break my balls?
Mother, should I build the wall?
Mother, should I run for President?
Mother, should I trust the government?
Mother, will they put me in the firing line?
Is it just a waste of time?


Mother's Lament - Cream (my folks used to sing this to me as a kid.

The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack.
She was only a moment but when she turned back
Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried,
"Oh, where 'as my baby gone?" The angels replied:

Oh, your baby has gone down the plug 'ole.
Oh, your baby has gone down the plug.
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin,
He should 'ave been washed in a jug, in a jug.

It's weird how many songs there are about going down the drain.


Ok, someone else think of a word today.

With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm

In the tower of London, large as life
The ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, they declare
Poor Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife
Until he made the Headsman bob her hair
Ah, yes, he did her wrong long years ago
And she comes up at night to tell him so.

With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walks the bloody tower
With her head tucked underneath her arm
At the midnight hour



Snoopy vs the Red Baron

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The bloody Red Baron was rolling up a score
Eighty men died trying to end that spree
Of the bloody Red Baron of Germany

No More Heroes - The Stranglers (originally called The Boston Stranglers)

Whatever happened to Leon Trotsky?
He got an ice pick
That made his ears burn

Whatever happened to dear old Lenny?
The great Elmyra, and Sancho Panza?
Whatever happened to the heroes?

Bruce Philospher's Song - Monty Python

Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable.
Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out consume Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel,
And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.

There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raisin' of the wrist.
Socrates himself was permanently pissed.
John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shandy was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away, 'alf a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, and Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart: "I drink, therefore I am." Yes,

Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

The Nits: Soap Bubble Box

I saw a box in New York
Inside the MOMA
Clay pipe and cork
It's a soap bubble
It's a soap bubble
I saw a map of the moon
Cut out of camels
Tin spoon
It's a soap bubble
It's a soap bubble
He is walking very slow through
Manhattan
In the snow
Joseph Cornell
I saw an egg painted blue
Rhinestones in 4 rows of 2
It's a soap bubble
It's a soap bubble
BOX

Miljoonasade: Lapsuuden sankarille
In English

Miltä tähdet tuoksuu
Entä luinen kuu
Soiko maapallon liikkeessä fuuga hiljainen
Miltä Afrikka näyttää
Heiluuko Suomen lanteet
Vai onko tänne pilvet pesineet

Lennä Juri Gagarin
Lennä Juri Gagarin
Tule elävänä takaisin
Lennä Juri Gagarin
Lennä Juri Gagarin
Tule elävänä takaisin

Not the most politically correct song, but one I remember.

Please Mr. Custer

What am I doin' here?
Please Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go
Hey, Mr. Custer, please don't make me go
I had a dream last night
About the coming fight
Somebody yelled, "Attack!"
And there I stood with an arrow in my back.
Please, Mr. Custer, I don't wanna go.



Abraham, Martin, and John (A 3-for-one! Four if you count Bobby)

Anybody here seen my old friend Abraham?
Can you tell me where he's gone?
He freed a lot of people, but it seems the good, they die young
You know, I just looked around and he's gone.

I'm gonna go modern with these two...

Free Nelson Mandela - the Specials

Twenty-one years in captivity
His shoes too small to fit his feet
His body abused but his mind is still free
Are you so blind that you cannot see I say

Free Nelson Mandela
I’m begging you
Free Nelson Mandela

He pleaded the causes of the ANC
Only one man in a large army
Are you so blind that you cannot see
Are you so deaf that you cannot hear his plea

Biko - Peter Gabriel

September '77
Port Elizabeth weather fine
It was business as usual
In police room 619
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko
Yihla Moja, Yihla Moja
-The man is dead

You can blow out a candle
But you can't blow out a fire
Once the flames begin to catch
The wind will blow it higher
Oh Biko, Biko, because Biko

By the People - Dick Gaughan

I heard a lot of talk about the land of the free
I went to see it for myself
What I found was misery and poverty
In a land of incredible wealth
They've got a thing they call the Constitution
To defend their civil rights
That's provided they've got plenty of money
They're protestant, male and white
By the People, for the people,
That was Lincoln's vow
But what the hell would Abraham Lincoln see
If he could see America now?

They made a broken-down actor their president
And he thinks that he's Genghis Kahn
He believes that life's a Hollywood movie
If you don't like it you can shoot it again
And he gets upset when the rest of the world
Won't do as he demands
Won't follow the script he sends us
Or be part of the American plan

By the People, for the people,
That was Lincoln's vow
But what the hell would Abraham Lincoln say
If he could see America now?

Party All the Time Eddie Murphy

Girl I can't understand it, why ya wanna hurt me
After all the things I've done for you
I buy you champagne, roses, put diamonds on your finger
Still you hang out all night, what am I to do?

My girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time, party all the time
My girl wants to party all the time
Party all the time
She parties all the time
