Casper & The Cookies Album

It's a thrill to be playing over your stereo
In stereo
Thank you for letting me out
Over your stereo
I can't grant your wishes
I just make a pretty sound

Here comes another one
Those who wish may stand

I got ants in my pants and it makes me want to dance
Take it away, Kathy, take it away
There's a sty in my eye, and it makes me want to cry
Take it away, Kathy, take it away

Well, we danced all night, and I was all out of breath
Take it away, Kathy, take it away
Now I'm fearing for my life, 'cuz you're dancing me to death
Take it away, Kathy, take it away

I know you can do it
You're the only one
I know that someday you will free me
Oh, Kathy, come on, take it away

Well, I feel about as dirty as a boy could get
Take it away, Kathy, take it away
And you're beating on my heart like an old drum set
Take it away, Kathy, take it away
There's a voice in my head, keeps my feelings so distorted
Take it away, Kathy, take it away
Says I'm a bad, bad boy, and I'll never be rewarded
Take it away, Kathy, take it away

I know you can do it
You're the only one
I know that someday you will free me
Oh, Kathy, take it away

My hands! My hands! I can't feel my hands!
My legs! My legs! I can't move my legs!

Who will play with me today?
Who will be my partner?
Who's the kid that floats around?
He's a trouble starter
Who's the kid that's going through his mama's pocket book and giving business to the ice cream man?
Call him Equal Thomas
I kinda wanna be him
No one else has met him 'cause no one else can see him
But I can see him
Hiding in the closet
Setting things on fire
Playing hooky ever day
That's Equal Thomas
Equal Thomas don't mean to be braggin' but one day he'll be driving his daddy's Volkswagon station wagon
Jumping over sprinklers
Tracking in the water
I caught him playing doctor with the neighbor's daughter
Equal Thomas Ford is making dinner
Individual slices
Slather on the peanut butter
Packin' Oscar Meyer in his Radio Flyer
Hookin' up his Big Wheels
Now he's a freedom rider
I can see him jumping over fences
Flying through the sky and talking about the weather there in California
Who will play with me today?
Who will be my partner?
Equal Thomas
Equal Thomas

A snake
Slithers 'cross a horizon of shiny candy hearts
His belly rubs them pleasantly
He never meant to hurt
But he's a snake
A sneaky snake-- Oh
A sneaky snake
Oh

Sneaky met a penguin and promptly fell in love
Sneaky sure loved penguins, but he was a snake
He was a snake
A sneaky snake-- Oh
A sneaky snake
Oh

Just when you started to build him a nest he was gone, gone, gone
Now that you've held him you know how he feels
You know he's so cold and long

A goat is in the rain forest, and a leopard's eating cake
Thought he was a penguin, but he was a snake
He was a snake
A sneaky snake-- Oh
A sneaky snake
Oh

Oh! I am thinking
Oh! I am thinking
I am thinking I have found my lover!
Oh, I think it is so

Not last night but the night before
Miss Suzie took me to the candy store
She broke my heart and she left me sour
My belly hurt for half an hour
I used to have a steamboat; I used to have a bell
That floozy miss Suzie stole those as well
Ice cream soda with a cherry on top
Who's my girlfriend? I forgot
I played Truth or Dare, I had to make myself sick
Spin the bottle: I never got picked
Duck Duck Goose and Red Rover, too
One Potato, Two potato, boo hoo hoo

Oh! I am thinking
Oh! I am thinking
I am thinking I have found my lover!
Oh, I think it is so

Now, I'm gonna make this apple twirl
And wherever it drops is gonna be my girl
I had a bucket of apples and I twisted all day,
And every last one landed right on 'k'
I got to find me a girl's got 'k' in her name
So we can play house and another game
I finally found Kay sitting in a tree
Stop kissing that snake and come and be with me!
You can chase me around, knock me down,
And give me your cooties 'till the sun turns brown
Well, she came down and gave me a look
And showed me my name in her slam book! It said—

Oh! I am thinking
Oh! I am thinking
I am thinking I have found my lover!
Oh, I think it is so

I've been stuck inside my house all summer long
Wanting to play, but I know I'm not that strong
Times like this, I sure do miss times I had before
Summer Spider, don't build your web on my door

Just last year I was happier than I could hope to be
I was still young and full of liberty
Back then I had conviction
Now I'm not so sure
Summer Spider, don't build your web on my door

Summer Spider, all my friends are afraid of you
Why don't you go away?
Terrified lest they step in the shade of you
You shouldn't do that
I know one day my light will go out
You'll find another place to be
My friends will remember me

Just last year I was happier than I could hope to be
I was still young and full of liberty
I can't move a muscle
I can't get out of bed anymore
Summer Spider, don't build your web on my door

We gotta take a walk through Bubblewing Park tonight
We gotta take a walk through Bubblewing Park tonight
We gotta take a walk through Bubblewing Park
It's always alive there, even after dark
We gotta take a walk through Bubblewing Park tonight

All the fountains are flowing with water you can see right through
All the fountains are flowing with water you can see right through
All the fountains are flowing and the water is fine
Take a dip! You know the fish don't mind
They've got fountains that are flowing with water you can see right through

The squirrels come right up to your feet
The bugs don't bite and all the birds sing sweet
Even the muggers are too happy to mug
They don't want to hurt you; they just want to give you a hug!

There's an ice rink open all year round
And a Ferris wheel spinning around and around
Couples are dancing in the balmy breeze
Underneath the upside-down-ice-cream-cone shaped trees

So if you're all alone in your little room
If you're all alone and lonely in your little room
If you're all alone and you're feeling blue,
I think that Bubblewing Park is just the place for you
We gotta take a walk through Bubblewing Park tonight

Tell me about your lost weekend
Where did you go?
How'd you get home?
All of the boys say they found you delightful
Why'd you come home?
You said, Just look around
You'll see there's lots of girls like me
But that's the problem, Jennifer, you'll see
'Cuz every brown haired girl is you
Nothing unique to you
Every brown haired girl is you
To me
Oh no

I know a place where we can be happy
Let's go to jail
I'll see you in jail
Jail is a place where if you do the wrong thing
You go to jail
And when our term is done, we'll share a bed because it's fun
But Jenny, fun is fun with anyone
And every brown haired girl is you
Nothing that you can do, can you?
Every brown haired girl
Are you the girl that I said I'd hold onto?
Are you the girl that I lied to?
I'd almost swear that I knew you
Or is it just you look like every brown haired girl I've ever known?

The boys and the girls are throwing a party for everyone that we know
Do you think we should go?
They always say you don't have a choice, but I don't know
It's happening in every town
It meets on every street
And it's been going on eternally
Since every brown haired girl was you
All of the brown haired world loves you
Every brown haired girl is you

The boys and the girls look happy to see us, and we're happy, too
But which are the boys?
Which ones are the girls?
Just tell me who's who.

Tell me about your dream
You ran your fingers through my hair
I can't figure it out
My body wasn't there
Hey, that's a bit obscene
You heard the sirens whine at the scene of an awful wreck
You said I was lookin' fine above the neck
I love you, honey, but you know you just ain't right
It's not all in my mind, because my heart is there instead
My heart is in my head

Waltzing through downtown holding you
Let's make everyone uncomfortable
Kiss me slowly now
Kiss me hard
I'm so glad you're still alive
You're still alive!
You're still alive!

You know you just ain't right
Did you take me home?
Did you roll me in your arms?
Now I'll never be alone
You're gonna keep me from harm
But you know it just ain't right
Rolling on my head in the middle of the night
Must have been the spoken vows on the day we wed
My heart is in my head

Till death do us part
Do us part
I'm so glad you're still alive
You're still alive!
You're still alive!

[No lyrics]

Sing me a parable
Whose lesson is too terrible
For pessimists like us to understand
I told you one about the snake
The one that made the big mistake
Remember?
This one's about a rock
A sailor man who's long since docked
He lives on Mars, and Barnacle Bill is his name
His manner impolite and brusque
He sits alone upon the rust
His mind is far away from the crusty Martian floor
He is old and no one likes him anymore

Barnacle, Barnacle Bill,
Barnacle Bill the Sailor...

But if they'd known him as a boy…
He was volatile and erogenous
He rode a molten wave of joy
Before he settled down homogenous
Through the red clouds something fell
Which caught his eye and broke the spell
Made him forget why he was bitter.
Bill was filled with fright
The shiny traveler cast a brilliant crimson light
And sprayed the landscape with its glitter

It came to rest nearby
And with a cautious eye
He watched it open up and from inside
Emerged a thing he'd never seen
And then this alien machine
Did not address him or extend its fingertips
It simply bent down and kissed him on the lips.

Barnacle, Barnacle Bill,
Barnacle Bill the Sailor...

Small boxes wrapped in bows
Candy or precious stones
All pale before your eyes
Feathers or fireworks
Great art will not suffice
Fun for a little while
You've given me your smile

This little melody came to me in a dream
Wholly from out the green!
I like it very much
Has it been used before somewhere?
I can't be sure
Happy birthday to you
