Mr Creosote Lyrics
Mr. Creosote is better today
He has a bucketlist of things to do
Jugged hare with sauce, truffles, and Grand Marnier
And little that he has to chew
We all eat a little too much sometimes
But we must know when to stop
Mr. Creosote is finished with his bucket of food
Made with extra pate and the quail eggs on top
6 bottles of champagne six cases of beer
It's surprising he didnt stop
The waiter brings the after dinner mint
Surely kind sir wont pass it up
Just one more bite and the waffer thin mint is gone
While the other patrons throw up
Nick Wood once ate a washingbowl of porridge
Nine loaves of bread and three jugs of beer at one time
Jack Biggers tried to eat six pounds of bacon
Greens, and dumplings, bread, and a gallon of beer
Mr. Creosote thought he had it down with
Just half of his expected drink
But somethings happening inside of him
L Elegent is about to stink
A deep rumbling and expanding waist
In spite of that last ala mode
Jack Biggers maybe went the same way
Mr. Creosote is going to explode
Junk Food Junkie Lyrics
When it comes to food
I am always in the mood
My mind wants to munch
More than supper, or brunch
My will it wont say no
To a snack on the go
Picnic or potluck
Iam a slave to my stomach
More than meal routine
My brain wants dopamine.
Give it all to me
Ill always be a junk food junky.
Deep in my soul
I crave snacks in bowls
I sway and I swoon
For goodies on my spoon
My heart goes tock-tick
For carbs on a stick
I am just one more dork
When foods on my fork
When it comes to weight
I dont think straight
Hands, knife, or sporky
Ill always be a junk food junky.
Any way you serve it
My craving wont quit.
The fat hits the spot
Past cranial thought
Make it hot or bitter
My mouth posts on twitter
From bland up to savory
It all appeals to me.
No matter the cuisine
I take it fat and lean
Salty, sweet, chunky
I’ll always be a junk food junky.
Instrumental: My favorite Things
I am tempted to go nuts
For muffins or doughnuts
Id quit or play hooky
For candy or a cookie
Id turn on my fellow
For gummies or jello
Id even cancel Firefly
For ice cream or some pie
When I want to feed
Thats a dangerous need
Thats why I skipped whiskey
Ill always be … a junky

Party on a Saturday Night Lyrics:
I felt it when we started that this party was a real good time
I could tell by your expression that I’d have to try real hard to stay in line
I knew that you were looking for a sign
In a burst of inspiration I was telling you the night would turn out fine
Through the open door the people and the music maintained a steady roar
The kegs beside the pool refilling mugs of drunks clamoring for more
We’d never had so many guests before
The parking situation blocked the streets two miles to the store
Just a party on a Saturday night
All our friends pitching in to help the evening go right
Carried on until the next afternoon
It’s too long to be host I hope they’re leaving soon
Broken bottles on the porch plastic bags strewn in the lawn
People crashed out in the kitchen on the counters with their heads in bras
Don’t worry ‘bout the group back in the bathroom in the backroom with a cause
You left before the clock showed two
You left me here with all this work to do
I felt it when we started that this party could go on for evermore
When you quickly changed expression I could hear the police knocking at the door
Everyone was quickly reassured
Now I know the reason for the moat around the Castle Kerrymuir
Just a party on the next Sunday night
All our friends sleeping in avoiding the light
It continued til we ran out of brew
With more on the way they won’t be leaving soon
I said there’s more on the way so don’t be leaving soon
It’s too long to be host this weekend rendezvous
"It's All You" Lyrics
Celebrate Saint Patty’s
Only with the whiskey
The only way to party
Is with Bacchus bounty
But who wants a drunk
To come to their to-do
The balls to have a ball
It all comes down to you.
The muse calls you to drink
And fuel your gifted think
The talent for a line
Flows from that red wine
The pen don’t make the art
Or the corkscrew
The Art to making art
It all comes down to you
[INSTRUMENTAL - “Whiskey Before Breakfast” (Traditional)]
You gotta have the booze
To light your lady’s fuse.
A shot of moonshiney
To spank your honey's hiney.
The hooch don’t make you hot
Or get you past taboo
The way to be GGG
It all comes down to you.
Only with some spirit
Can you loose the corset
No fun at the fair
Repunzel let your hair.
Fairy tales are best
When the hero's true
The short of the story
It all comes down to you.
[INSTRUMENTAL - “Whiskey Before Breakfast” (Traditional)]
Now you’ve had enough.
Of wine, hooch, and stuff
Landed in A.A.
They tell you pray and pray.
But no higher power
Will help you breakthrough
Strength to get past the sauce
It all comes down to you.

You're the perfect gal A dream to behold
When they made you They broke the mold.
You'll keep your looks Even when we're old.
You're the perfect gal A dream to behold.
My life with you Is everything great,
You love what I love, hate what I hate.
The stars got crossed, Ridiculous fate
My life with you Is everything great.
You're a fantasy My ethical slut.
Games behind doors Are never a rut.
Positions and toys And everything but
You're a fantasy My ethical slut.
You're always around When I need to vent.
When trouble's in air You've got the scent.
I've got your ear Your wise two cents.
You're always around When I need to vent.
The walls light up When you're in the room
Aren't we a sight The bride and her groom
Or your glowing face A baby in womb
The walls light up When you're in the room.
Our life together The future's all set.
It's a good thing That we've never met.
You're the picture of Feminine ideal
Be nice to meet, If only for real.
But red gives to green The dream goes a blur
Too bad I'll never Knew who you were.
00:39:57 Song discussion
00:46:47 Gary's Song "Valentine's Day (Chemicals Divine)"
It's February fourteenth and today the skies are blue
So I picked a bunch of flowers That I'm going to give to you
Perhaps it's the dopamine or the norepinephrine
That's putting this smile on my face everytime I think of you
Oh the chemicals divine
They'll fade but til they do I'm feeling fine
And tho I'm wheezing, sneezing 'cause the allergies are kickin me (hyper sensitivity!)
I know there's soothing coming 'cause I popped an anti-histamine
As antagonists block I stop and I take stock
Perhaps I should have waited for a while before I operated this machine
Oh the chemicals divine
They'll fade and when they do I'll feeling hives
I pull up to your house I'm in a floating state
Between the flowers and the drugs and love Instead I should've bought some chocolate
Besides the health effects it is nearly as good as a passionate kiss
And the way I feel with my nose congealed all my cells are going to degranulate
Oh the chemicals divine
They'll fade but til they do I'm feeling high
00:51:16 Song Discussion
00:57:51 Lightning Round
And the dogs SkYipe amongst themselves via their own canine internet, which is a series of Snausage tubes.
