(Pierce-Tillis)

Oops scooby-doo balena go gal go 
Bopalena Bopalena 
She's my gal 
Bopalena Bopalena 
She's my gal 
She's my gal and I love her so 
Oops scooby-doo balena go gal go 
School bell's a'ringing 
Everybody's going out 
Going to the shack gonna shake it all about 
Bopalena lookin like a rose from the wild 
Man I dig that sweet juvenile 
When she gets it going she's a real cool chick 
Does the bebop like a pogo stick 

Bopalena Bopalena 
She's my gal 
Bopalena Bopalena 
She's my gal 
She's my gal and I love her so 
Oops scooby-doo balena go gal go 

My patent leather boots on my hound dog feet 
Me & Bopalena gonna walk the beat 
With the old juke box at the (Teton Shack) 
When we get it going gonna pull the jack 
Bopalena-- (gone to feet that talk) 
Look at her go on a camel walk 

Bopalena Bopalena 
She's my gal 
Bopalena Bopalena 
She's my gal 
She's my gal and I love her so 
Oops scooby-doo balena go gal go 

Well the school bell's a'ringing 
Everybody's going out 
Going to the shack gonna shake it all about 
Bopalena lookin like a rose from the wild 
Man I dig that sweet juvenile 
When she gets it going she's a real cool chick 
Does the bebop like a pogo stick 

Bopalena Bopalena 
She's my gal 
Bopalena Bopalena 
She's my gal 
She's my gal and I love her so

(k.d. lang)

Let's settle down 
The world won't stop spinnin' round 
We'll get out of this mess- 
Wait and see. 
Wait and see is that what you'll do? 
you think I'm mental in anguish over you? 
Does the fact that we may die urge you to pine and stew? 
Do you think I'm mental in anguish for you? 
I can't lie beneath the sky 
concern of mine is you. 

(Tell me that your tan is via the sun.) 
Tell me that the plan won't hurt anyone. 

OOOOOh... 

We will get out of this mess 
wait and see 
Wait and see is that what you'll do 
you think I'm mentally anguished for you 
Does the fact that we may die urge you to pine and stew 
Do you think I'm mentally anguished over you? 
I can't lie beneath the sky 
concern of mine is you 
No, I can't lie beneath the sky 
concern of mine is you 

. . .


(S. MacDougall)

I feel frustration comin' back 
I'm not sure just where I'm at 
I'm losing touch w/ what I'm trying to be 
I need someone to show the way 
Not someone to share the blame 
Well it's not down to you 
It's up to me 

Don't wanna hang from someone's string 
Or answer someone else's ring 
The things I'm wanting most in life are free 
No, living hand-to-mouth's no treat 
Till bitter end the dream's still sweet 
It's not down to you 
It's up to me 

Well, it's up to me 
Lord it's up to me 
It's not down to you 
It's up to me 2X 

Well, I feel frustration coming back 
I'm not sure just where I'm at 
It seems the times and I just don't agree 
But I can stand on my own feet 
I won't quit until I'm beat 
Well it's not down to you 
It's up to me 

It's up to me 
Lord, it's up to me 
It's not down to you 

. . .


(k.d. lang/G. Matthews/F. Scott/D. Bjarnason)

Knowing things that I do 
And showing myself to you 
My habit-forming, tradition-ignoring ways to you are fine 
Well I'm tickled pink to think 
That you're mine 

I dug up a missing link 
When I uncovered you 
My lonely days are now extinct 
With this evolution of you 
I'm tickled pink 
Seeing things that you do 
And being one of the few 
Whose habit-forming, tradition-ignoring ways to me are fine 
Well I'm tickled pink to think 
That you're mine 

A glance from you 
I'm on the brink of melting to the core 
As told to me by my instinct 
There's ecstasy galore in store 
I'm tickled pink 
Seeing things that you do 
And being one of the few 
Whose habit-forming, tradition-ignoring ways to me are fine 
Well I'm tickled pink 
To think 

. . .


(k.d. lang/G. Matthews)

When I wink at you with one of my eyes 
Mean to meet behind the barn in 5 
I'll be waiting with a sweet surprise 

Oooh... 

Folks might wonder where we've wandered to 
Might be doing things we aint' supposed to do 
I just wanna spend some time alone with you 

Oooh... 

Hanky Panky 
Hanky Panky 
Hanky Panky 2X 

Maybe tomorrow we can go for a ride 
In the country sitting side by side 
I've got some things that I'd like to confide 

Hanky Panky 
Hanky Panky

(E. Miller/ D. Haddock/ W.S. Stevenson)

There you go 
Walking away 
Each step you take 
Bring heartaches my way 
She's won your heart 
I've lost it someway 
The way I feel 
You're walking away 
If I hadn't cheated 
And I hadn't lied 
I'd be the one 
Walking by your side 
I love you still 
I guess that it shows 
The way I feel 
There you go 

If I hadn't cheated 
And I hadn't lied 
I'd be the one... I'd be the one 
Walking by your side 
I love you still 
I guess that it shows 
The way I feel 
There you go 
The way I feel 
There you go

. . .


(Stewart MacDougall)

I'd have time on my hands 
Time to make some plans 
Time to take a different point of view 
Time to take a walk 
And time to sit and talk 
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue 

I'd have time to fool around 
time to paint the town 
Time to spend each night 
With someone new 
Time to be alone 
And time to stay out all night long 
But you know I'm too busy bein' blue 

I'd have time to leave behind 
For to you and all your kind 
Time to leave behind the world we knew 
But I'm still occupied 
Just rememberin' how we cried 

. . .


(Patsy Cline)

An old cool cat from way downtown 
He's been boppin all around 
This old world were living fast 
Afraid some day were gonna run outa gas 
If your'e travellin that way too 
I'l tell you folks what you better do 
You gotta 
Stop, look and listen 
Don't know what you're missing 
Stop, look and listen 
You might be missing kissin 
If you're travelling slow 
You'll go a long long way 

Well Farmer Jones he came to town 
Saw that boppin all around 
Learned to do it, there's no doubt 
Fraid some day he'll burn his motor out 
If you're travellin that way too 
I'll tell you folks what you better do 
You gotta 
Stop, look and listen 
Don't know what you're missin 
Stop, look listen 
You might be missing kissin 
If you're travelling slow 
You'll go a long long way 

First came the boogie, then the bunny hop 
Now the (rumble, samba) then the bop 
I don't know what's comin next 
This old world's in a terrible fix 
If you're travellin that way too 
I'l tell you folks what you better do 
You gotta 
Stop, look and listen 
Don't know what you're missin 
Stop, look listen 
You might be missing kissin 
If you're travelling slow 
You'll go a long long way 

I know a cool cat from way outta town 
He's been boppin all around 
This old world we're living fast 
Afraid some day were gonna run outa gas 
If you're travellin that way too 
I'll tell you folks what you better do 
You gotta 
Stop, look and listen 
You don't know what you're missin 
Stop, look listen 
You might be missing kissin 
If you're travelling slow 
You'll go a long long way

(G. Elgar)

Through garbage dumps 
He sought his game 
The things thrown out 
Were the things he gained 

Back alley waste 
And dirt from litter 
He collected it all 
And he ate it 
For dinner... dinner... dinner... 

Hooked on junk 
Hooked on junk 
Hooked on junk.. junk...junk...junk... junk 

Sally looked in disgust 
How could a man write such stuff 
What about real life 
What about the way things really are 

What a gross person she was 
Sally threw her head back 
She began to up...up... 
Upheave violently 
Her guts tore from the sickening chore 

Detecting something foul 
She cried out for more bowel 
"More bowel" she cried 
"More bowel!" 

She found her head 
Lying in a bowl of toilet collectibles.... 
Collectibles.... 
Collectibles... 

I could see she was sick 
So I called her lawyer and ordered some 

Hooked on junk 
Hooked on junk 
Hooked on junk.. junk...junk...junk... junk.
