dschmidt (Dan Schmidt):

There's only two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I found the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

A rich man once told me that life's a funny thing
A poor man once told me that he can't afford to speak
Now I'm in the middle like a bird without a beak
Cause there's just two songs in me and I just wrote the third
Don't know where I got the inspiration or how I wrote the words
Spent my whole life just digging up my music's shallow grave
For the two songs in me and the third one I just made

So I went to the president and I asked for what's his name
Has he ever gotten writer's block or something like the same?
He just started talking like he was on TV
"If there's just two songs in you boy, then what do you want from me?"

So I bought myself some denim pants and a silver guitar
But I politely told the ladies "You'll still have to call me sir"
Cause I have to keep my self respect, I'll never be a star
Cause there's just two songs in me and this is number three

"Number Three"                  They Might Be Giants

needle (Zanzibar B. McFate):



Did I ever tell you that Mrs. McCave
Had twenty-three sons, and she named them all Dave?

Well, she did. And that wasn't a smart thing to do.
You see, when she wants one, and calls out "Yoo-Hoo!
Come into the house, Dave!" she doesn't get *one*.
All twenty-three Daves of hers come on the run!

This makes things quite difficult at the McCaves'
As you can imagine, with so many Daves.
And often she wishes that, when they were born,
She had named one of them Bodkin Van Horn.
And one of them Hoos-Foos. And one of them Snimm.
And one of them Hot-Shot. And one Sunny Jim.
And one of them Shadrack. And one of them Blinkey.
And one of them Stuffy. And one of them Stinkey.
Another one Putt-Putt. Another one Moon Face.
Another one Marvin O'Gravel Balloon Face.
And one of them Ziggy. And one Soggy Muff.
One Buffalo Bill. And one Biffalo Buff.
And one of them Sneepy. And one Weepy Weed.
And one Paris Garters. And one Harris Tweed.
And one of them Sir Michael Carmichael Zutt.
And one of them Oliver Boliver Butt.
And one of them Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate...
But she didn't do it. And now it's too late.
