- Arizona, Angel, Thermos, All The Time
She's sitting
in her room
on her blue
bean bag chair.
She's playing
rubix cube
and playing
with her hair
Ohh - she turns her t.v. set on at ten
Ohh - watches "Different
Strokes" and then
she drifts
right off to sleep
I wonder if I'm
in her dreams?
Each day
sitting in classes her mind goes everywhere
Girls don't
make passes at boys who wear glasses
at least as far
as I'm aware
Ohh - and I wish she would prove me
wrong
Ohh - I could be so deep
I wonder what
is going on
does she think
about me in her sleep?
What would
Freud think about it?
I'm confused I
want to scream
I'm in love no
doubt about it
but am I in her
dreams?
She is my one desire
I've gotta talk
to her, I've gotta be brave
She sets my
world on fire
see her playing
Pacman in the video arcade
Ohh - I laughed while drinking milk it
came out of my nose
Ohh - got all over my clothes
I'm bursting at
the seams
I wonder if I'm
in her dreams
Back to tracklist, Back to top
I swear she is
the angel
of the teenage
scene
She's a heart
throb
and a beauty
queen
She's the model
of loveliness
crazy hairdos and a polka-dot dress
Like a ninja
she crept into
my heart
and she's
killing me
and I'm falling
apart
I can't believe
it
This kind of
thing never happened to me
I've gotta
scream it
Cause I love
her and I love her!
I'm a goofball
I've got holes
in my socks
People avoid me
like I'm
chicken pox
Trapped in
shyness
I've gotta
scream to be heard
Next to her
highness
I'm a bit of a
nerd
But I dig her
she could dig
me too
we'd be
together and stick like glue
I can't believe
it
This kind of
thing never happened to me
I've gotta
scream it
Cause I love
her and I love her!
And
everything's been groovy since she came onto the scene
Just like in
the movies she walked out of my dreams
with a sugar
coating covered all in cream
Vive la
And I love her
like a Smurf is blue
I can feel it
yeah my heart
is true
I'd do anything
just to hold
her hand
eat a bucket
full of rocks, bugs, dirt, and sand
I pledge
allegiance to this star spangled girl
She's the
coolest
in the whole
wide world
I can't believe
it
This kind of
thing never happened to me
I've gotta
scream it
Cause I love
her and I love her!

I bought you a
real nice thermos
I really hope
it works
I was inspired
to buy you a thermos
when I saw the
movie "The Jerk"
It's really,
really rad
Everybody knows
it keeps the
hot liquids hot and the cold liquids cold
and you know I
got it cause I love you!
I got you a
real nice thermos
you can put
beer inside
And you can get
a little tipsy
any time you
like
It's really,
really rad
Everybody knows
it keeps the
hot liquids hot and the cold liquids cold
and you know I
got it cause I love you!
I got you a
real nice thermos
it was the

Could've got
you a lunch box instead
It's really,

Tells Me I’m Into Something Good, Pop
Rocks and Coke
I spent all of my time thinking 'bout you and wishing you were here
And now I'm in deep trouble 'cause my final exams are near
And now I don't know what to do
I feel like such a fool - oh no
This sucks
Oh what a bummer
This is so uncool
I'm stuck inside all summer
in the classroom
I really should've studied but I didn't
Then I went and failed arithmetic
And now I've got to go to summer school - oh no
Now I've gotta go to summer school - oh no
I should be on the beach with all my friends and having lots of fun
But I'm stuck in this room with all these books and homework to get done
And now I don't know what to do
I feel like such a goob - oh no

Something Tells Me I'm Into Something Good:
(originally by Herman's Hermits)
Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine
There's somethin' special on my mind
Last night I met a new girl
in the neighborhood - oh yeah
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
She's the kind of girl who's not too shy
And I can tell I'm her kind of guy
She danced close to me like I hoped she would
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
We only danced for a minute or two
But she held tight the whole night through
Can this be that I’m fallin' in love
She's the only girl I've been dreamin' of
I walked her home
and she held my hand
I could tell this was no one-night stand
So I asked to see her next week and she said that I could
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
Somethin' tells me I'm into something good
Somethin’ good, oh yeah, something good
Somethin’ good, oh yeah, something good
Back to tracklist, Back to top
I've got this feeling
deep inside me
Here's another three day crush
It's like a jiggle jinkies wiggle
it's a massive sugar rush
Eating Pop Rocks drinking Coke
I think my stomach might explode
If Mikey-Likes-it tried it so can I
But I can't explain it
I just know it
You'll just have to wait and see
It's growing inside me
like a Chia Pet
as seen on TV
Eating Pop Rocks drinking Coke
I think my stomach might explode
If Mikey-Likes-it tried it so can I
And I can't fall asleep at night
I would close my eyes
but I would die of fright
And I think I might explode
Better watch out now
'cause here I go - whoa
So that's what's in me
so Mork 'n' Mindy
It's just goofy at its best
I feel a rumble tickle tumble
Man my stomach's upset
Eating Pop Rocks drinking Coke
I think my stomach might explode
If Mikey-Likes-It tried it so can I!

Gotta spend
the day penned
up in an office
on the eighth floor
Phones’
rings and fax machines drowning out the ocean's roar
But even on the
worst of days
I can close my
eyes and dream about the waves
Me and my
friends caught a genuine surfer's craze!
Daydream Believer, add non-dairy creamer

Order pens and

when you work
all day
and never see

The rat race

any fun
But twenty

Me and my

why don't you come surfing with me?

I'm so bored
'cause nothing's happening
on the Isle of
We've got to
leave
It's cold and
even worse
there is not a
wave to surf
I want to go
somewhere pretty
For the
inspiration that I need to get
I turn to my
friendly television set
it says,
"Go to the place where the Brady Bunch went!"
We'll surf in
the south seas, enjoy a Tropical Breeze
buy a million
plastic hula ladies
And we shall
have it made
for we won't be
afraid of the cursed Tiki that haunted Greg Brady!
We'll go to the
shore for a luau at night
hang out with
the Sticklers
those kids are
alright!
I think that
I'm having the time of my life!
Roll Call!
Which state has
volcanic isles?
Surf and sand
and fun for miles?
Who was once
ruled by Queen Liliuokalani?
Which states
consumes the most Spam
is halfway to
and never has
had to deal with (former New York City Mayor Rudolph) Giuliani?
So please place
a portion of poi on my plate!

I wish they

The sixties had
the Beach Boys with their surfer tones
The Monkees,
Herman's Hermits, Leslie Gore and Rolling Stones
The seventies*
had classic rock, an endless pile of crap
And Nixon had
the White House but he had to give that back
And then they
came
to save the day
and take back
radio
Oh gosh I'm
going to miss the Ramones
(Despair,
Anguish, Denial, Mourning, Acceptance, Recovery)
The nineties
have lots of great bands
it's certainly
a fact
Like Egghead.,
MTX, the Muffs, and Queers to be exact
And while I
love them all I know that they would not exist
if four mop-topped
lads from
It's true my
dear
They're through
my dear
It's just the
way things go
Oh gosh I'm

I'm really
gonna miss them
If they were
girls I'd kiss them
Oh gosh I'm
gonna miss the Ramones
*James wrote on
the KFM webpage that alternate lyrics to the seventies part are:
"the
seventies had Jojo (nickname of Jonathan Richman) who wrote my favorite hits,
and Nixon had the White House, but Nixon had to quit..."

Someone put

When I took a
sip
it sent me on a

that milk was
chocolate to the extreme
Laughing like a
loon

At The Moon"
Someone put
something in my Ovaltine
Someone put
something, something in my Ovaltine
Someone put
something in my Ovaltine
And let me tell
you baby
it's making me

and it don't

'cause I don't

I don't want to

It's just a

And as someone
once said
"that the little things my friend are what life's worth living for"
And you're all
those little things and a whole lot more
I was so down
my heart was on
the ground
when you came
into my life
you're so sweet
now I feel
complete
like ketchup on
my fries
It's fantastic
it's even
better than that
it's sort of
spastic
it's just a matter of fact
And a love like
that
isn't that kind
of the thing that you can't ignore? Oh no.
And you're like
someone sweet that I adore.
Oh my dear
It's become
clear
that you put a
glimmer in my eyes
You're a wish
A tasty dish
Like ketchup on
my fries
Better than Christmas and Hanukkah
Betty and
Veronica, all right!
Now you're on
the scene
life's peachy
keen
Love is such a
joyride
and bells will
ring
you wonderful
thing

someway the two of us will be one
Heaven forever
and ever we will be-e-e-e-e
Please say
you'll stay oh
Sandy my
darling
you hurt me real bad
You know it's
true
but baby you gotta believe me
When I say I'm
hopeless without you
Love has flown
all alone
I sit and wonder
why-y-y-y
Oh why, you
left me oh

Surf's Up, School's
Out, Let's Fall in Love! :
You don't have
to worry any more
just apply the wax to your surfboard
When you're out
there in the sun
everything is fun, fun, fun
C'mon let's go
surfing everyone!
Let the sea's
waves wash away your cares
let the sun's rays dry up all your tears
It's no fun
locked in your room
wallowing in all that gloom
C'mon let's go
surfing everyone!
Riding the
waves
with you by my side
If I had my way
I'd go surfing all the time!
When you've got
problems you can't take any more
Hit the waves
and leave them on the shore
They don't
matter anyhow
so long as you're with me now
C'mon let's go surfing
everyone
C'mon let's go
surfing everyone
C'mon let's go
surfing everyone
C'mon let's go
surfing everyone!

Mom and Dad say
"Eat your greens"
but Soilent Green is made from people
And things
aren't always what they seem
sometimes they are just plain evil!
I don't wanna
eat my vegetables
they make me wanna throw up
'Cause all I
know is they make kids grow
And I don't
wanna grow up!
Mom and Dad say
"Clean your plate
or you can't go to the rock'n'roll show"
But I just
wanna stay up late
dancing to cub, Kaisers, and JoJo*!
I don't wanna
eat my vegetables
they make me wanna throw up
'Cause all I
know is they make kids grow
And I don't wanna
grow up!
Is this some
sort of conspiracy?
I still feel
like a kid!
I'm not
finished with my childhood
But I'm getting
way too big!
And I don't

they make me wanna throw up
'Cause all I

Oh, she's so
full of moxy
yeah, she
knocks the socks right off me
she's the ultimate embodiment of cool
And I really
want to know her
and to kiss her
and to hold her
'stead of standing in this puddle of my drool
But every time
I try it
I endure a
quiet riot
and my
confidence suffers from mass deflation
And I really
need a booster
"punky power!"
Punky Brewster!
For she sure sure be a she-boppin' sensation
Oh, she's so
wonderful,
And girls like
her they are unstoppable
She's so
wonderful
And be assured
she is untoppable
Oh, she's so
wonderful
Erudite,
dignified, and such a dream
Oh, she's so
wonderful
Yeah, she's so
peachy keen!
No you can't
book it, bank it, ply it
you can't package it or buy it
there's no way
to commodify my love
And those
economic theories
fail to posit
proper queries
as to why she's all I'm thinking of
While the
jury's inconclusive
as to why I'm so effusive
oh the proof is
in the pudding in the mixing
And as soon as
I can meet her
there'll be no
moment sweeter
than the moment
that we two begin the kissing
Oh, she's so wonderful,
And girls like
her they are unstoppable
She's so
wonderful
And be assured
she is untoppable
Oh, she's so
wonderful
Erudite,
dignified, and such a dream

I feel so swell
I write these

the history
Of how I'm

Everyone at
school always makes fun of me
everyone that is excepting you
Walking down
the hall I face a gauntlet of jeers
it's totally depressing but it's true
And now the
school year's over
and the coast is clear
I see the first
signs of summer
seems they took all year.
But where there
should be joy there is regret
for I haven't gotten to know you yet
You see I don't
know a whole lot of girls
But when I see
you in the hall
you send my
head into a whirl
I did something
I never thought I'd do:
I fell in love
on the last day of school
Sitting in
third period trying to get a look
at the names inside the heart drawn on your history book
And putting all
my dreams and all my hopes
on the lines of an ultimately unsigned note
And when I try
to talk to you my stomach hurts
I get dizzy, I get nervous, I get sent to the nurse
And while I'm
really sick it is unfair
for I've been rehearsing these lines all year
You see I don't
know a whole lot of girls
But when I see
you in the hall
you send my
head into a whirl
I did something
I never thought I'd do:
I fell in love
on the last day of school
Just like a
ferris wheel
spinning round and round
You send me
into orbit
and I can't come down
I'm circling
you like a satellite
For you're the
very utmost, ginchy, out of sight!
You see I don't know a whole lot of girls
But when I see
you in the hall
you send my
head into a whirl
I did something
I never thought I'd do:
I fell in love
on the last day of school
And I’ll
always be true, yeah,
I fell in love
on the last day
love on the
last day
love on the
last day of school
Back to tracklist, Back to top
I've got a
crazy crush on you
but you don't even know it
And every time
that you're near
I don't know how to show it
And why I act
this way
I'll never understand...
Oh, please
please please please please please baby
let me hold your hand!
Oh, please
please please please please please baby
let me hold your hand!
I really wanna
take you on a date
to see a double feature drive-in movie
And if my folks
let me have the car
it will be groovy
I gotta find a
way
to say I'm your biggest fan...
Oh, please
please please please please please baby
let me hold your hand!
Oh, please
please please please please please baby
let me hold your hand!
And all these
endless nights
sitting by the phone waiting
For you to
answer all my calls
it's so frustrating.
But with advice
from Miss Manners
I'll (learn to) make you all mine.
Now all I have
to do
is get you on the phone line.
So please clear
up your phone line.
oh-Oh-OH WOO!
And every time
that I speak your name
it feels so right,
I wanna be with
you
and see you in the moon light,
So can I ask
you as politely as I can...
Oh, please
please please please please please baby
let me hold your hand!
Oh, please

Luau All Night (All Night Luau):

The girls in
their grass skirts
the boys in short pants
With leis
wrapped 'round their neck
dancing in the sand
They're
celebrating
school is out
They'll start
the summer right
And they're gonna luau all night
The radio's
blasting
their favorite Beach Boys songs,
The girls dance
the hula
the boys sing along
And someone
brought some bug juice
to start the summer right
And they're gonna luau all night
Yeah, they're
gonna luau all night.
And they're

And they're

In the whole
wide world
nothing is so great
As a shiny pair
of rollerskates,
Bobsleds,
surfboards, go-karts are fine
But eight
wheels on my feet
is simply divine
Oh, and I'm so
excited
I'm overjoyed I can't hide it
We hit the road
and go gliding
and it feels great
We're on a
roller skate date
We're on a roller
skate date
We're on a
roller skate date
So grab my
hand, let's go on a roller skate date!
Now the rink is
smooth
the street is rough
The sidewalk's
got cracks
but I can't get enough
And while it's
fine sometimes to strut or stroll
On rollerskates
we can rock'n'roll
Oh, and I'm so
excited
I'm overjoyed I can't hide it
We hit the road
and go gliding
and it feels
great
We're on a roller skate date
We're on a
roller skate date
We're on a

So grab my
hand, let's go on a roller skate date!
And now I know
how it feels
When a boy and
girl fall in love on wheels
I'll pick you
up when you fall
Oh, I love you
roller skates and all!
We're on a roller skate date
On a roller
skate date
We're on a

I think it would
be nice
if we could go
out for a ride
We'll head in
the direction
of pure love and your affection
Moving so fast
no time to go
slow
we fill the air with laughter
Holding your
hand, afraid to let go
we're headed for disaster
We'll turn the
radio on
to see if we can hear some songs
We're cruising
down the road
and you're so rad I might explode
Moving so fast
no time to go
slow
we fill the air with laughter
Closing our
eyes, losing control
we're headed for disaster
I think it
would be nice
if we could go out for a ride
We'll head in
the direction
of pure love and your affection
Moving so fast
no time to go
slow
we fill the air with laughter
Holding your
hand, afraid to let go
we're headed for disaster
You say you'll
go away
and I'll be left here playing the Old Maid
And when the
ride is done
you will drop
me home
And you'll go
back again
I guess that
leaves me here
All alone.

When the waves
are low
and the sun meets the sea
And the moon
starts to glow
will you come back to me?
When the beach
has cleared
and the stars shine so bright
I'll be waiting
for you
I'll be right by your side,
'Cause, oh-oh,
I know
you must chase the waves all the days
But when the
night comes calling
please come home
When the waves

When the waves

When the waves

When the waves

When the surf
is up
you're the queen of the sea
But when the tide
recedes
will you go out with me?
While you're
hanging ten
I will watch from the shore
For you've
conquered my heart
riding on your surf board.
And, oh-oh, I
know
you must chase the waves all the days
But when the

I know that
there are lots of things I can improve
So I'm combing
my hair
just to make
you aware
that I'm so in
love with you
Moon beams,
mood rings, mixed potions, and lucky charms
Enhance
enchanted evenings
to get me in
your arms
And with the
angels watching
I'll make this
wish
That if I can
improve
you will meet
me after school
cause I wanna return to your kiss!
Darling
I know that

So I'm combing
my hair

that I'm so in
love with you
And I'm so in
love with you
And I'm so in love
with you
And I'm so in
love with you

I'm in Love with Junior Varsity:
Walking
down the street
'neath
the
I got my
transistor radio on
Butchie Cordell got me under his spell
he's
playing my favorite songs
Got my tuner set to the AM dial
cause
K-Pop songs sure make me smile,
and make me twist
shake my
hips
and shout
from the roof with glee -
Oh I'm in
love with Junior Varsity!
Oh I'm in love with Junior Varsity!
Matt's
tin can drum
Rebecca's
strum
and Kim's
voice oh so sweet
They're the cheapest sound in
but oh they can't be beat
Like the sounds of summer and convertible cars
hula hoops and electric guitars
they send a static to my attic
put a
wiggle in my walk
and the scientists can't explain –
Why
Junior Varsity are wrecking my brain
Oh Junior Varsity are wrecking my brain!
Whatever
it is I think I see
becomes
Junior Varsity to me
Whatever it is I try to do
becomes
Junior Varsity too
When I'm walking down the street
I see
Junior Varsity
When I go out to eat
I order
Junior Varsity.
They're on tv
They're
on to me
It's driving
me insane
Cause
Junior Varsity are wrecking my brain.
Oh Junior Varsity are wrecking my brain!
The Great
Gazoo said
"See
the doctor soon before it is too late.
Visit Dr. Freud
that
bearded dude
and he
will set you straight"
So I saw the doc what did she say?
"Don't worry, James,
you'll be
okay,
just
shake your hips
and twist
like this
and shout
from the roof with glee –
oh I'm in
love with Junior Varsity."
Oh I'm in
love with Junior Varsity!
Oh Junior
Varsity - rah rah rah!
Junior Varsity - rah rah rah!
Oh I'm in love with Junior Varsity!

How I Wish That I Could Hold You in My Arms:
I can't stand
this room
these empty
chairs
all the lonely spaces when you're not here
How I wish that
I could hold you in my arms
I can't sleep
or watch tv
and I'm all alone when you're not here with me
How I wish that
I could hold you in my arms
Who could
forget
the way we met
at the high
school record hall?
How I took a
chance
begged you to
dance
and prayed
you'd never stall
When you're
close to me
the sun shines
bright
when you're far
away
it's always night
How I wish that
I could hold you in my arms
Who could
forget
the day we met
how you danced
close to me?
My heart
skipped a beat
so light on
your feet
now I'm in
agony
When I go to
bed
I say a prayer
that when I
awake
you'll be standing here
How I wish that
I could hold you in my arms
How I wish that
I could hold you in my arms
How I wish that
I could hold you in my arms

A Kiss on Your Back Stoop
(Wedding Bells in June):
Beneath the
starry sky –
amongst lawn
gnomes, toadstools, fire flies
I count one million
reasons why –
I could love
you
Symphonic sugar
mix –
as our lips
melt into a kiss
I never dreamed
I'd find such bliss –
frosted in lip-gloss
Oh how you've
sweetened up this salty town -
my heart's a
sunny place whenever you're around
So we'll say so
long to loneliness
cause there's a
world of wonder waiting in our kiss
Chasing a
summer breeze -
filled with
moon lit swims and climbing trees
All we wish is
for days like these -
to last forever
Whisper in
magic tongues -
singing spells
hoping autumn won't come
For I know a
love like ours
could change the weather
Oh how you've
sweetened up this salty town -
my heart's a
sunny place whenever you're around
So we'll say so
long to loneliness
cause there's a
world of wonder waiting in our kiss
And with
something old, something new
something
borrowed, something blue - we'll do
Beneath the
sparkling stars and grinning moon
A kiss on your
back stoop - and wedding bells in June

Waiting for her
in my mind
as I unwind
It's funny I
know
that this show
may not
go
down that road
that I had planned
Out of my hands
Figure this
rusted trip
may not sit so well with me these days
But she tells
me
that she'll be with me
Taking my time
just to find
that right rhyme
Left on this
street
that's beneath
these two feet
They've walked
a block or two
to find you
But she tells
me
and she tells
me
that she'll be with me
And I'm not so
so alone
I know so that
you're here so
and things
won't go
so out of
control
All systems go
And she tells
me
And she tells
me
And she tells
me
That she'll be
with me
And things seem better from now on

Faux
rabbit’s foot wrapped tight in a sweater
A ball of twine from kite flying weather
A breezy passage through Welshire Station
With wind-red cheeks and the sensation
Back in my mind without quite knowing
Right round the bend that something is growing
Catch the train
Day dreaming again
Dropped a penny through the grating
For restless wants too tired of waiting
Made a wish, hopes held against reason
Small acts of faith and emotional treason
Rallying against the question marks
Left unaddressed to the bleeding hearts
Despite the rain
Day dreaming again
From port side to cathedral heights, the arcades and the gas lights’
Oily reflections off dirty river, winter’s cold but we live here
Strange as it seems
Are we lost in a dream?

I
remember the summertime
How people grew flowers on top of their hair
Spreading out cross the universe
There was a sweetness perfuming the air
What can I say?
Were those
the best days we have known?
I remember the summertime
I bathed
in your glow
I remember the summertime
When kids declared it the season of love
They enlightened a desert town
Shining so bright through the salt flats below
What can I do?
Were
those the days we cherish most?
I remember the summertime
I bathed
in your glow
What can I say?
They
promised: “The future’s a blast coast to coast”
I remember in summertime
I bathed
in your glow
I
remember the summertime
I bathed
in your glow
I remember the summertime

Summer’s
finally here,
I guess
that means the end of the school year
Carved
your name in my desk,
cause
you’re the girl whom I like best
I hope
that I’ve made it clear,
that
I’m crazy for you my dear
And while
I never have the right words to say
I hope
you understand this message any way
And
please forgive me if I just sit here and sigh
But
it’s hard,
it’s
hard to say goodbye
Everything
happened so fast,
how can
we make good times last?
And I
don’t want this to end,
I think
you’re the best girlfriend

you understand this message any way

please forgive me if I just sit here and sigh
But

hard to say goodbye
Please
get this message through that
I’m
so in love with you and
I
don’t know what I will do without you
And
please don’t let this be the start
of two
more broken hearts
And while
I never have the right words to say
I hope
you understand this message any way
And
please forgive me if I just sit here and cry
