Opening song of live album, performed 5/25/2012
Spider Man On Shutter Island
A murderess escaped from here, she should be doing 30 years
No one escapes, somehow she can
She must be just like Spider Man
(Chorus)
Spider Man on Shutter Island, Spider Man on Shutter Island
Spider Man on Shutter Island
The detective he is in the know, his name, of course, Di Caprio
He thinks the doctors had a plan
They turned her into Spider Man
(chorus)
A hospital for crazy folks and in the 50's, that's no joke
Detective Leo holds the key
But they're giving him a lobotomy like..
(chorus)
Detective Leo's stuck in there, the inmates all have gone somewhere
A hurricane has hit the coast
The crazy doctors all are toast
But this is not the end, no, this is not the end!
Here comes...
Spider Man on Shutter Island, Spider Man on Shutter Island
Spider Man on Shutter Island
(repeat chorus to end)

Where Are The Blue Ridge Mountains?
It's beautiful this place
The air is fresh, the sky is clear
It's so overwhelmingly green
But where are the Blue Ridge Mountains?
Where are the Blue Ridge Mountains?
Mountains to the East
There are mountains to the West
We must be in the valley
But where are the Blue Ridge Mountains?
Where are the Blue Ridge Mountains?
Mountains everywhere I look
Which ones are the Blue Ridge?
They must be far away.
You say look to the left
They are all around the valley
It's so peaceful here.
The mountains tuck you in.
Where are the Blue Ridge Mountains?
Where are the Blue Ridge Mountains?
Everywhere.

I Hate Geese
by Michael Gutierrez-May and Chris White
I love ducks
They're brown and cute
They don't bother anyone.
They look at you when you say "hi'
And wave their tail feathers when you walk by.
Wave their tail feathers when you walk by.
I like squirrels
They are fun and playful
They look at you before they dart away.
They climb trees
And make the park visitors feel at ease.
They make me feel at ease.
I like the swans
So graceful and magnificent
Their necks are long and strong
They sometimes have an attitude
But that's because they are swans.
Yeah, they're swans.
I could even like a rat
When they are bigger
They are like squirrels with haircuts.
They graze in the garden after dark
And nothing goes to waste.
Nothing goes to waste.
I sort of like pigeons
They are proud little birds
With bobbing beaks and heads.
They are dirty that's for sure
But they don't know any better
They don't know any better.
I hate geese.
I hate geese.
I hate geese.
Filthy disgusting obnoxious
Filthy little geese.
Geese, geese, geese,geese, geese!

Disneyland's In Therapy
by Michael Gutierrez-May
Mickey Mouse is in the house, he's feeling quite distressed
Donald Duck's run out of luck and acting real depressed
Pluto's in the doghouse, Cinderella's blue.
Goofy's shooting up and they don't know what to do.
Chorus:
Disneyland's In Therapy, learning how to cope
This hi-tech has passed them by and they're strung out on dope.
The cost of constant happiness has gotten very high
Oh, Disneyland's in therapy, learning to get by.
Pinocchio keeps telling lies, he's character disordered
He thinks he's Snow White's long lost son and wants custody court-ordered
The seven dwarfs, you might expect, are filing an appeal.
At least if Snow White has a son, they think he should be real.
(chorus)
Ron Howard wants to make a film, they won't give him permission
Poor Sleeping Beauty overdosed and passed out in the kitchen
When even Dumbo's getting high, the problem's pretty bad.
I hope that they can use the help, it's hard to see them sad.
(chorus twice to end)

The Dead Leprechaun
03:58

The Dead Leprechaun
He was born in County Wexford, not far from the Irish Sea
And he weighed five pounds when he was born
to Patrick and Mary
He would grow to a strapping four feet tall
by the time that he was 3.
Chorus:
But is there anything sadder than a dead leprechaun?
He's hardly noticed when alive, but everyone knows he's gone.
Oh,he had to die, no reason for it, no good reason why.
This is a Celtic ballad and in Celtic music, they all die.
He rose up through the leprechaun ranks,
a small and sturdy lad
Picking out four leaf clovers and cheering up the sad.
The pinnacle was his when he was 21 years old,
He was chosen by his leaders to defend the pot of gold.
(chorus)
His time as guardian, alas, was ever short and sweet.
He came to work one afternoon, no shoes on his feet
A bolt of lightning crackled from the dark and stormy sky,
The lightning hit the pot of gold.
No time to say good bye.
Is there anything sadder than a fried leprechaun...
(chorus twice to end)

The Ballad of Dum-Dum
by Michael Gutierrez-May and Laree Cisco
I'm from Pawtucket, my girl's in Woonsocket
I'm an average guy and life is good.
Got a kid brother whose head is like a rocket,
Hell. I'm the only decent thing in this neighborhood.
Chorus:
My girl got pregnant and it's probably not even mine
But maybe it is so I gotta stick around
She works for Amica and I deliver pizza
Life is good, yeah, life is good.
Her two cousins talked to me the other day
Told me to wise up and do the right thing
I said I'd do it when the right day comes
But I don't like it much when they call me a dum-dum.
My girl got pregnant and she told me that it's mine
I really don't remember so I better stick around
She works for Amica and I deliver pizza
Life is good, yeah, life is good.
She'll graduate from college at the end of this year
And then she tells me, she's gonna be on TV
Which means I'll have to drive her to the station
And on the air, you know she's gonna talk about me.
( 2nd chorus, then..)
Yeah, I'll do the right thing when the right day comes
But I don't like it much when they call me dum-dum.
LIfe is good.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
What do I want for breakfast on a February morn?
What's gonna to fill me up and take my hunger pangs away?
Sitting right there at the counter at my very favorite store,
You know who you are
You know I want you.
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Fill me up, take me someplace good
You're the next best thing to coffee.
What makes me wait in line
At my local Trader Joe's?
What makes me lick my lips, take my hunger pangs away?
Sitting right there at the counter
I could not ask for more.
You know who you are
You know I want you.
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
Fill me up and make me feel so good
You're the next best thing to ice cream.
Coffee and Ice Cream
Yes, they're ok.
But I don't want them in the same way
I want you!

You!

You Can Catch More Flies
by Mari Koslowski and Michael Gutierrez-May
No need to be sweet in word
If you don't want me around
No need to sugar coat it
When you're wiping me onto the ground.
You catch more flies with shit than honey
You catch more flies with shit than honey
I'm a little buzzy you'll smack down.
Your voice drips with vinegar as you pretend to care
The sweet and sour is catching in my throat
And my brown hair.
You catch more flies with shit than honey
You catch more flies with shit than honey
I'm a little buzzy lighting there.
Rub your heels and walk away
No one can say you didn't try
You're the kind that always seems to find another fly.
You catch more flies with shit than honey
You catch more flies with shit than honey
I'm tired, I'm buzzing on my way
I'll find a different pile a different day.
You catch more flies with shit than honey
You catch more flies with shit than honey
I'm a little buzzy you'll smack down
Find a different pile
I'm buzzing on my way.
The Dogs of Omaha
by Michael Gutierrez-May
They come running around the corner at 100 miles an hour
And they say, "You can't escape us,"
"We're the dogs of Omaha."
"Welcome to our city, we will show you around
And you'll buy us steaks for dinner,"
said the dogs of Omaha.
"We will show you the Old Market,
We will track down Warren Buffett,
You'll be very glad you met us,"
said the Dogs of Omaha
Arrroooooo-pant, pant, pant, pant
Arrrrooooo-pant, pant, pant, pant
"To the banks of the Missourt
Although now they're overfllowing,
Run you all the way to Boys Town,"
said the Dogs of Omaha.
"And if you're getting tired,
You can take us on the bus,
We will drop you at the Zoo,
Aren't you glad that you met us,"
said the Dogs of Omaha
said the Dogs of Omaha.
Arrrroooooo-pant, pant, pant, pant
Arrrroooooo-pant, pant, pant, pant
":Remember we want steaks for dinner,
Yes, you'll be getting thinner,"
said the Dogs of Omaha
said the Dogs of Omaha.
Arrrroooooo-pant, pant, pant, pant
Arrrroooooo-pant, pant, pant, pant
Pant, pant, pant, pant
Pant, pant, pant, pant.

Good Night Sex
by Michael Gutierrez-May
Let's go to home depot,
I hear it's open late
24 hours round the clock
I'm feeling pretty horny and it's quiet in the store
We can do it while the stock boys stock.
Chorus:
We need a new place for good night sex,
We did it at the drive in just last week.
Only you and I will know
We made love at Home Depot
Just a rockin and a rollin cheek to cheek.
We will walk into the store
And we will just get lost
24 hours around the clock
If you run into your brother
If I run into my mother
We'll just tell them we were looking for a lock.
(chorus)
We need to find the moment
The right household appliance
Comfortable and roomy for our thrill.
Just wear something flimsy
With an easy access point
And for you and me, it all will be downhill.

A Puerto Rican On The Moon
Apollo landed there in 1969
There was nobody else there at the time
Nowadays if you want your own place
You gotta travel to outer space
So you take a Puerto Rican family
Bring along the salsa and the rice and beans
And the moon would be as happy as a place could be
Dancing every night.
Chorus:
I'm a Puerto Rican on the moon
I'm a Puerto Rican here,
I'm a Puerto Rican there,
I'm a Puerto Rican everywhere.
A Puerto Rican on the moon.
So here I am living here in the USA
Second generation and I'm here to stay
They don't speak Spanish here in the States
I had to learn my Spanish from china plates
But half a Puerto Rican is better than none
Tells my Irish side to chill out, have fun
You're as crazy cool as anyone.
Dancing every night.
(chorus)
Look up in the sky and say, Oh Man
They're still playing their music as loud as they can
Puerto Rico is a postage stamp here below
But up on the moon, Puerto Ricans run the show.
(chorus twice to end)

You Can’t Take My Carrot (The Carrot Song)
My boss gave me a carrot because I was good
But now I gotta give it away
A cute little carrot with long green hair
I don't want to give it away.
Chorus:
Oh, you can't take my carrot
No, you can't take my carrot
I won't let you take it away
Oh, you can't take my carrot
I earned my carrot
And I want my carrot to stay right here.
I need to give my carrot to someone else
Someone who is helpful to me
But maybe they would like an apple or a peach
Yep, the carrot is staying with me.
(chorus)
The HR people came for my carrot
I kept it for more than a day
So sue me if I am not a team player
I don't want to give my carrot away
(chorus then..)
Right here, in my desk, with my pencils
And my squeeze ball and the swizzle stick from last year
And the leftover refrigerator magnets...

Groucho (bonus)
02:25
|

No one writes songs about Groucho
The funniest man there ever was
No one writes songs about Groucho
No one writes songs about Groucho
Is it because he couldn't sing?
Is why a duck too obvious?
Someone should write a song about Groucho
So I decided it would be me.
A song in tribute or a tribute in song
To the funniest man there ever was.
Yay, Groucho!
Yay, Groucho!
Yay, Groucho!
