If I may, I have something to say
Soft spoken and complimentary
Nice words will go a long way
Be cordial and well behaved
You're looking good, did you lose weight?
Check out that smile, all her teeth are straight
He's got a tie on that reeks of taste
I can't believe what you did with this place
We are the Nice Guy Brigade
Up to here with pleasantries
No business being rude
How's the kids? You look rested
Is that your mom? She's the bomb!
It's so fine to see you again
I'm glad that we stayed friends
I wish this day would never end
We are the Nice Guy Brigade
Pitcher full of lemonade
No business being rude
You seem happy, you want some tea?
Are you in a mood?

Blow it Out

Your brand new wheels have sex appeal
You can't work the shift so it's automatic
Stuck at a light and you're getting uptight
Going for a cruise Just you and the dudes
The night is just right and you feel outta sight
What you see ahead drives you out of your head
So, whatcha gonna do now that you can't get through?
Blow it out your ass Shut the fuck up and show some class

609

It lit up the wire, set the whole damn place on fire
When it came through, we didn't know what to do
It fell from the sky, with the blink of an eye
No turning back It's in the hands of Irwin Black
It's finally come and it's just begun
The tone has been set, this is a day we'll never forget
This time it's a 609

Rock and Roll Elevator
01:26

|
Jiving up and down like a Rock and Roll Elevator
Getting off on every floor
Otis is the man, my main operator
He's got big hands that work the door
Flying off the ground, buzzed by the stimulator
Getting off like never before
Rising to the sound of the only simulator
So much better than ever before
Next stop, leather and lace
This bit will bring a smile to your face
Then there's the floor for hardware
It's got everything beyond compare

9 to 5

I mean what I say and say what I mean
I got a fist full of quarters for the washing machine
I may seem like a mess but my act's all clean
With just one look you'll see I'm living the dream
I'm a sight for sore eyes, the great white hope
I just got back from Rome hanging out with the Pope
With a sack full of pearls, not for the pigs
You can have a few if you're interested
I scoff at Mother Theresa 'cause she couldn't compete
with the things that I do just walking the street
I clock in each day from 9 to 5
Spread the joy of being alive
Come along with me, let's go for a ride
Set yourself free, leave the troubles behind
It's very easy if you know the trick
Otherwise, you will make yourself sick

An die Freude

Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
Tochter aus Elysium,
Wir betreten feuertrunken,
Himmlische, dein Heiligthum!
Deine Zauber binden wieder
Was die Mode streng geteilt;
Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.
Wem der große Wurf gelungen,
Eines Freundes Freund zu sein;
Wer ein holdes Weib errungen,
Mische seinen Jubel ein!
