Puppy Luv! 03:46
You come into the room-like you're riding on the wind. My stomach falls, my heart jumps out: I can't suppress a grin. I can barely say "hello" for fear my voice might crack. You're such a rush, I feel so lush, you're giving me a heart attack! The words are left unspoken-but there's something here unseen. The whisper of a romance-god I feel like seventeen! There's a ring pierced in your belly-and a braid in your hair. Your smile is like the sun darling, and I wither in it's glare Chorus: Singing dee-die-doodle-dee I'm not who I used to be. Fee-fie-fookle-fum: lounge like lizards in that sun! Split-splat-spoodle-spang: like to watch you do your thang! Goo-goo-google-goo: Wanna fall in love, love, love with you. You've blown my state of being-all my cool went out the door. I'm sweating quite profusely-but I'd like a little more. One touch from your hand would probably be a cosmic thing. The planets spin, the oceans quake-I'm all messed up within. Your eyes fix me like magnets-I am pinned by your stare. I'm as nervous as a puppy-and I can't come up for air (woof woof). Won't you please now please release me from this adolescent hell? But it's too late, I fear I'm doomed-I'm caught up in your spell.

Well it's crazy how your brain to mouth filter is largely unemployed. And I'm amazed you have friends on facebook given the lives that you've destroyed. Chorus: Do you have to say Everything, that comes into your damn head? Can I give you some advice? Shut Up Instead! Well you have two ears and just one mouth to listen twice as much as you talk. That's some ancient Hebrew wisdom- so the verbal diarrhea stops! With all this endless chatter I'm surprised you still have a jaw. I can see that your lips are moving but all I hear is: Blah! Blah! Blah!

Wendy tortures spiders Rachel always falls asleep. When they want me to come over... It's a promise that I keep. Wendy eats her carrot sticks... Rachel makes some tea. Incense burning, we're all learnin' it's a good place to be. (Uh...damn good place to be). These Italian Madonnas, love to hear them talk. Rachel puts a leash on Katy say: "Let's go for a walk." Chorus: On Pacheco Street That's where I like to meet... My girls. When the sun goes down That's when I come around To meet the girls from New York Town. Rachel makes the dinner. Wendy smokes outside. And I'm left here forsaken With nothing left to hide. Rachel wants a foot massage She will not go to bed. Wendy reads a book. Rachel's caught up in her head. (Caught up in her head, oh no!) The fireplace is burning. We sit and watch it glow. The yellow flames and endless games That's where you want to go! Chorus: On Pacheco Street That's where I like to meet... My girls. When the sun goes down That's when I come around To meet the girls from New York Town. Talkin' bout Wendy and Rachel.

Zooey 04:07
She’s so approachable, and adorkable as hell. All bangs and eyes—that Zooey Deschanel. I get emotional though I don’t know her well. She’s one classy dame—that Zooey Deschanel. Chorus: She’s on my TV—She’s looking right at me. This celebrity—she rings my bell! It’s not negotiable, it’s nothing I can quell: This blushing crush on Zooey Deschanel. Her voice a nightingale—O sweet, seductive spell! Please sing to me—Zooey Deschanel. Chorus: She’s on my TV—She’s looking right at me. This celebrity—she rings my bell! Well we both like Buddy Holly And our names are not Michelle: Me and that Zooey...Deschanel. I’ve never even met her, But there’s one thing I can tell: My wife is jealous of Zooey—Deschanel. Chorus: She’s on my TV—She’s looking right at me. Oh Zooey—you ring my bell! I like your dresses. I like your shoes. You’re so...quirky.
