Toe Jam (free) 01:18
It's sock lint that gets stuck between your toes For I put you on under my shoe And I wear you when I walk down the street And you like me so much that Pieces of you stick to my feet
2.
Acid Rein (free) 02:35
I was steering a carriage with Kamyar by my side He was holding an old battery and just enjoying the ride We were watching the mountains as they slowly rolled by We had no idea that we were soon to die We had no idea this was the day that we would die Skull of a bull in the distance, cacti like cardboard cutouts Vultures feed on fallen food, sure is hot out here Kamyar saw some cattle, and the horses saw 'em also Stampede wandering rather close with not too far to go I kept my cool and I bid my horses hurry on They trotted faster to avoid meeting them cows head on The road it got quite rocky, and the carriage began to shake Kamyar's nose began to itch, and he sneezed-- a mistake That battery fell sideways, and it hit me in the hand The fluid ate through my control, which at my feet did land The horses didn't know what to do-- their guidance now in shambles They steered us quickly off the road, and then we all got trampled
3.
Lamb Chops (free) 03:18
Holey Moley-- Andrew's got the lamb chops! Behold the lamb chops that are stuck to his skin. The holy lamb chops that are stuck to his skin.

Grindcore Grandma (free) 04:06
We mosh at family reunions and stage dive at Christmas time Aunt Bertha writes ear-splitting songs that don't ever rhyme My mom was raised to thrash, and Grandpa plays the drums Uncle Joe shreds as we bang our heads, and Grandma grimes her gums Sing death metal, Grandma! It gets better every time. I'm the only gut with a grandma that gargles razor blades Thrashing and swirling her silver hair, she plays bass lines like an earthquake She shakes our hearts and loosens all our teeth It's always fun and there is no one to tell us to turn it down

8 Animal Monday (free) 05:53
Cat Dog Tiger Panther Lion Hamster Mouse Duck. In the pet store I am stuck.
6.
Waffle (free) 04:34
I'm going to eat waffles 'til they come out my nostrils Missing breakfast would be awful, but here it is unlawful Syrup just covers the taste, just hides the joy, Just drowns my reason to awake A fork would bring the taste of metal to the meal I eat with my hands Bathe my dog in the stuff Syrup kills fleas but attracts honey bees He eats them
7.
Hilarious (free) 05:08
When you tell those funny jokes, I laugh until I cry In this entire world, I would say that you're the most humorous guy You're hilarious to me See the cartoons that you draw You know they really send me on a trip You should be a comedian or a writer for a comic strip You're hilarious to me

There's big, small, all sorts of funny feet Sneaker, bare, nail-polished toenail feet Pretty, ugly, athlete's-foot infested feet Hairy, wrinkled, blue slipper-covered feet Furry, cute, black and white moo-cow feet Odd, normal, different kinds of crazy feet Gator, monkey, even kangaroo feet Big toes, small toes, even baby newborn feet Flat, curved, Dr. Scholl's perfect feet Big feet, small feet, God created all the feet.

Mr. Tongue Head (free) 03:34
Taste buds the size of ping pong balls Oral muscle a foot wide and three feet tall If there's something to taste, throw it at his face The telephone gets wet when he makes a call Mr. Tongue hasn't got a head He's got a tongue instead Lollipops go fast and popsicles don't last Gotten sick wearing face make-up in times past Every hat is drenched, every kiss is french Leaves a salivary head print when he leans against the glass When he sleeps at night, his whole head goes dry Tastes the salty tears every time he cries Chlorinated pools give him toxic drool Wets ten postage stamps at a time

Getting Shots (free) 01:58
Get hit by a car, then fall down Then get run over by the car that hit I like getting shots I like throwing pots and pans all over the place Burn your houses down and leave your pets Dine in a Mexican restaurant, and request no water "...no matter what I say." Walk on a hot, sandy beach on a sunny day And wear no shoes, and burn your shoes
15.
Food In My Shoe (free) 02:41
You've got your toe in my salad You put your sock in my oven You've got your toenail clippers in my refrigerator You're impolitely stepping on my supper It's not nice You better think twice You put your food in my shoe You left your nail polish in my dog's food And your dirty laundry on my staircase You stuck your nose in my business I suggest you mind your own business

Climbing Tree Blues (free) 05:04
I have a message for all the people out there: Don't be like me. Don't do what I did, children My throat is now dry as a grain of salt Soon I wiil die, and it's all my fault There's no excuse. Trying to escape is no use. You'd understand, honey, if you were in my shoes I've a bona fide case of, a soul-achin' case of the climbing tree blues "Climb it up-- you won't get cut," the girl with the red hair said As it is, there's a growl in my gut, and I tell you: I'd be better off dead I've been around to so many places, But I've never been in the place that I am, and I don't like it If I could go back and change it, I'd have walked right past that door, man Then I could run and hide and dance and sing But as it is, I ain't got the chance to do much of anything 'Cept untie and retie my shoes I'm down up in the air with the climbing true blues There's no excuse. Climbing tree blues. I said I'm stuck. They sold my truck. It isn't good. I've got no food. This is not a lie. This branch is too high. Will I grow old? Will I get cold? I've got news: Climbing tree blues. That woman, she walked away When I've climbed high enough to have to stay I'm up thirty feet. I ain't got nothing to eat. Guess I'll just wait for a stopping heart rate. I've paid my dues. Climbing tree blues.
