3. Who's Jim Sox?

How embarrassing it is at only 13
To have to take showers
In front of a dyke gym teacher
Who drools at the sight
Of your pectoral muscles flexing
Smelling of four laps around the track
50 push-ups multiplied by 200 girls
The cracks of backs hitting cement floors
As we strained our bodies into womanhood
Room 323
Stagnant Sox
Sweaty girls
Broken locks
Two by two to the opposite gym
Our nylons rolled under our sox
Today is the day of heavy socializing
Heavy socializing, heavy socializing
Finally getting to The BTO's!!

5. The Captain's Fat Theresa Shoes

The T of his T-strap stands for tippie-toes
His tippie-toes fit him to a T
Oh C.B. do a tap dance for meee-ee
With your bigga fatta Tippie-Toe-Theresa-Shoes!

6. Wouldn't It Be Sad If There Were No Cones?

Wouldn't it be sad if there were no cones?
No, not ice-cream cones
Cones are soul brothers with processed points
At the tips of their foreheads
Some wear lime-green phosphorescent
Imitation leather jackets and pants
Others are fairly normal formal excepting
Those flood ankles on their bright orange slacks
"That's a flashy outfit mini-mama
Hey now, Hey now, Hey now, I could kiss your thigh"
They stand in front of The Wiggy A Go Go
'N slap their chins
We really respect them for their confidence
It's too bad everyone can't be as confident as a cone
(They're great losers)
Do the skate, shing-a-ling, Boog-a-loo
"Come on with me, an' we'll spin some fine platters, darlin'"
Oh, cones, you send us with your fantastic lines!
"What's your favorite form of recreation, darlin'?
Hey now, Hey now, Hey now, I could kiss your thigh
Say, Snow White, can I give you a ride in my
Outa-site metal flake Bonneville?
Hey, darlin', you come here with me, woman
To my righteous pad in L.A. and we can booze it up
And have some fiiiiine lovin'
Hey now, Hey now, Hey now, I could kiss your thigh. "

7. Do Me In Once And I'll Be Sad, Do Me In Twice And I'll Know Better (Circular Circulation)

Muddy Goppup standing there
Roses held by him
Stopped to catch Kee Lee Da Da Do
But the circle would not permit it

This circular circulation
I circle continuously
To prepare myself for memories
And have a talk with me

Mighty burst Muddy Goppup had
To cure him of this fever
The sun came on, the cord came off
His seat became the lever

So what was one to do right then
At fourteen minutes after
I shook his hand, explained the plan
And set stone walls to laughter

Was at this time the power ceased
Yellow darts were flying
A gentle bum rose from the street
Upon which he was lying

The circular circulation
I circle continuously
To prepare myself for memories
And have a talk with me

Serves you right, Mr. Goppup screamed
Four signs on his window
To let another make your dreams
For the rest of you to show

Can't think for the life of me
Pounds, Do Da Kee Lee
More different than before the start
You cheated and pretended to.

Was at this time the power ceased
Yellow darts were flying
A gentle bum rose from the street
Upon which he was lying

The circular circulation
I circle continuously
To prepare myself for memories
And have a talk with me

8. The Moche Monster

Yonder comes a soft car
Which probably won't take me very far
The organ-grinder behind the wheel
Is hoping he can score a feel
His eyes are bulging at your bod
He things you are a free-loving mod
Moche Monster!

9. TV Lives

I'm a television baby
My father's a knob
And my mother's a tube
When I'm sad my horizontal dips
And my vertical skips
But when I'm glad, my brightness meter
Shouts brightest!

10. Rodney

We have a friend named Rodney Bingenheimer
He has a dutchboy hair-cut and he's five feet three
He lives down the street from Hullabalooo
And he doubles for Davy Jones
(And he got beaten up by Brian Jones)

He's so amazing you should see his walk
It just screams "Get in there with the pop-stars!"

"Let me in, let me in, I'm with one of the Vanilla Fudge

Rodney:
I know Sonny and Cher
I meditated with George Harrison
The Hollies are my best friends
And I ate lunch with Grace Slick yesterday."

We see you at Wallichs and down at The Ranch Market
Waiting for pop stars to casually stroll by
Oh, Rodney, if you introduce me to Mick Jagger
I'll let you meet my little sister
She's only twelve years old!

14. The Ghost Chained To The Past, Present, And Future (Shock Treatment)

I see all the people I want to see
I be all the people I want to be
And find all the treasures I want to find
Along with the images, they're so unkind

Shock treatment, oh let me go-oh
Shock treatment, oh let me go-oh
Shock treatment, oh let me go-oh
Shock treatment, oh let me go-oh
etc.

15. Love On An Eleven Year Old Level

What does his mother say when we kiss on the doorstep?
(He has to be home by ten)
I wait around 'til three o'clock 'til he comes out of school
He flirts with all the ten year olds
And I'm so jealous I could die
(He just screams Brian Jones!)
Brian Jones! Do you realize this eleven year old kid looks like Brian Jones?
(He just screams Brian Jones!)
A kiss on the cheek would be enough
But when he does more . . . wah! wah!
He has captured my heart . . . Bart
I'm ready to settle down
Do you think your parents would let you quit school at 16?
It's only five years.
I can wait.
He is the ladies man
How could you doubt him, even when he lies?
When he says he's out playing ball
He's being a two-timing man
He has captured my heart . . . Bart
Oh, how he wrinkles my dress and tangles my hair!
(Get in there, Bart!)
Sneak out your window and I'll meet you tonight
And you'll be back in time for school
When we're together, am I eleven or are you nineteen?
He has captured my heart . . . Bart
You're a heartbreaker, Bart Baker.
