Gyrate it till you had your fill
Just like a pneumatic drill
Don't let it go down the drain
Ya better hop on the cosmic wagon train!
Cosmic! Cosmic!
I was havin' this out-of-body experience
Saw these cosmic beings
Everywhere I went up there, they were shakin' their cosmic things
Like someone gave ya a wild goose, or a freight train with
A loose caboose
You better shake your... honey buns! Shake your honey buns!
Shake it till the butter melts, shake it till the butter melts
Shake that cosmic thing, shake that thing, shake it, ohhhh yeah!
Shake that thing all night long, shake it man you can't go wrong
Don't let it rest on the President's desk, rock the house!
Cosmic! Wooooo! Cosmic!
I don't need no earthquake, don't need no tidal wave!
Till night falls and day breaks, gonna shake, shake, shake!
Shake! Cosmic thang! Shake that thang! Wooo! Yeah!
Like someone gave ya a wild goose, or a freight train with
A loose caboose, ya better shake your... honey buns!
Shake those honey buns!
Shake that thing all night long, shake it man, ya can't go wrong
Rock the house! Rock the house!
While cruising through the ionosphere, I saw these alien beings
Everywhere I went up there, they were shakin' their alien things
I'll give you a genuine faux pearl ring if ya git on up and shake
Your... honey buns! Shake your honey buns!
Shake! Don't let it rest on the President's desk, rock the house!
Oh yeah! Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh! Cosmic! Wooo! Shake that thing! Cosmic!

Dry County
It's one of those lazy days
I've got nothing to do
Let the wind blow round my head
Let a cloud be my bed
When the blues whomp you up on the side of the head
Throw 'em to the floor and kick 'em out the door
When the blues kick you in the head
And you roll out of bed in the morning
Just sit on the porch and swing
Sit on the porch and swing
The heat of the day's got me in a haze
The heat of the day's got me in a haze
Those lazy days of summer are here
When the blues whomp you up on the side of the head
Throw 'em to the floor and kick 'em out the door
When the blues kick you in the head
And you roll out of bed in the morning
Just sit on the porch and swing
Sit on the porch and swing
It's so hot, it's so hot
It's so hot
It's so hot
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Just let the breezes flow
Through your mind
I feel so fine
When the blues whomp you up on the side of the head
Throw 'em to the floor and kick 'em out the door
When the blues kick you in the head
And you roll out of bed in the morning
Just sit on the porch and swing
Sit on the porch and swing
Here come the girls up the road
What they want to do they can't do
'Cause it's a... Dry County
Kicking stones and laughing low
Nowhere to go
It's a dry, dry (County)
Such a dry, dry (County)
Dust devils blowing in your hair but what do you care
When there's nowhere to go
Dry, dry, (County)
It's a dry, dry (County)
Kicking stones and laughing low
Nowhere to go
I've got nothing to do
Let the wind blow round my head
Let a cloud be my bed
When the blues whomp you up on the side of the head
Throw 'em to the floor and kick 'em out the door
When the blues kick you in the head
And you roll out of bed in the morning
Just sit on the porch and swing
Sit on the porch and swing
The heat of the day's got me in a haze
The heat of the day's got me in a haze
Those lazy days of summer are here
When the blues whomp you up on the side of the head
Throw 'em to the floor and kick 'em out the door
When the blues kick you in the head
And you roll out of bed in the morning
Just sit on the porch and swing
Sit on the porch and swing
It's so hot, it's so hot
It's so hot
It's so hot
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Here come the girls
Just let the breezes flow
Through your mind
I feel so fine
When the blues whomp you up on the side of the head
Throw 'em to the floor and kick 'em out the door
When the blues kick you in the head
And you roll out of bed in the morning
Just sit on the porch and swing
Sit on the porch and swing
Here come the girls up the road
What they want to do they can't do

Deadbeat Club
(Huh, get a job, what for, I'm trying to think!)
I was good, I could talk
A mile a minute
On this caffeine buzz I was on
We were really hummin'
We would talk every day for hours
We belong to the deadbeat club
Any way we can
We're gonna find something
We'll dance in the garden in torn sheets in the rain
We'll dance in the garden in torn sheets in the rain
In the rain
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club
Going down to Allen's for
A twenty-five cent beer
And the jukebox playing real loud
"Ninety-six tears"
We're wild girls walkin' down the street
Wild girls and boys going out for a big time
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club
Let's go crash that party down
In Normaltown tonight
Then we'll go skinny-dippin'
In the moonlight
We're wild girls walkin' down the street
Wild girls and boys going out for a big time
Anyway we can
We're gonna find something
We'll dance in the garden in torn sheets in the rain
We'll dance in the garden in torn sheets in the rain
In the rain
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
We're the deadbeat club (deadbeat club)
Oh-oh no, here they come!

Love Shack
If you see a faded sign by the side of the road that says 15 miles to the...
Love Shack! Love Shack yeah yeah
I'm headin' down the Atlanta highway, lookin' for the love getaway
Heading for the love getaway, love getaway,
I got me a car, it's as big as a whale and we're headin' on down
To the Love Shack
I got me a Chrysler, it seats about 20
So hurry up and bring your jukebox money
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together
Love Shack baby, (a Love Shack bay-bee).
Love shack, baby love shack, love shack, baby love shack, love shack.
(love baby, that's where it's at)
Love shack (love baby, that's where it's at)
Sign says.. Woo... stay away fools, 'cause love rules at the Love Shack!
Well it's set way back in the middle of a field,
Just a funky old shack and I gotta get back
Glitter on the mattress
Glitter on the highway
Glitter on the front porch
Glitter on the highway
The Love Shack is a little old place where we can get together, love shack baby...
(Love Shack baby!)
Love Shack, that's where it's at! Love Shack, that's where it's at!
Huggin' and a kissin', dancin' and a lovin', wearin' next to nothing

YEA! the whole shack shimmies!
The whole shack shimmies when everybody's
Movin' around and around and around!
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Folks linin' up outside just to get down
Everybody's movin', everybody's groovin' baby!
Funky little shack! Funky little shack!
Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!

So come on and bring your jukebox money.

Junebug
She's the wildest hon in the wild kingdom
She's the wildest thang to float down
Well there's alligators and razorbacks
But I don't care, I like to go down tubin' with you, Junebug
When Junebug floats down and yells "Hey!"
Even the razorbacks get outta her way
Ya know what I mean?
The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug
You know what I'm talking about
Junebug, Junebug, Junebug, Junebug
On the wildest run in the wild kingdom
She's the wildest thang to float down!
Well there's snakes and snappers on cypress knees
So come on down, I like to play in the water with you, Junebug
Well don't you listen to what they say
'Cause we're a little different anyway
Ain't it the truth!
Let's glide behind a wall of vegetation; no prying eyes on
A love celebration!
Let's glide behind that wall of vegetation
I don't want no prying eyes when I give you a love sensation!
The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug, Junebug
Hey there Junebug, you sure look good dancing in the mud...
In the red mud!
Mosquitoes and water moccasins, 'gators and crocodiles
June's imagination really drives me wild!
GO Girl GO Girl GO Girl GO!
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA!
Let's get in the mud, I think I'm in love!
Junebug! GO GO GO Junebug GO GO GO Junebug!
She's the wildest thang to float down
Well there's alligators and razorbacks
But I don't care, I like to go down tubin' with you, Junebug
When Junebug floats down and yells "Hey!"
Even the razorbacks get outta her way
Ya know what I mean?
The mouth of the river is laughing at us, Junebug
You know what I'm talking about

Roam
I hear a wind
Whistling air
Whispering
In my ear
Boy Mercury shooting through every degree
Oh girl dancing down those dirty and dusty trails
Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Skip the airstrip to the sunset, yeah
Ride the arrow to the target, one
Take it hip to hip, rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Fly the great big sky
See the great big sea
Kick through continents
Busting boundaries
Take it hip to hip, rocket through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without wings, without wheels
Roam if you want to
Roam around the world
Roam if you want to
Without anything but the love we feel
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness
Take it hip to hip
Rocket through the wilderness

Bushfire
On the horizon, the landscape's burning red.
Bushfire. Smoke in your eyes, smoke in your eyes.
If you feel something, that makes you warm all over,
If you got a fire and you can't put it out, got a bushfire.
Rolling through a field of molten flowers;
Burning in a field of molten flowers.
There's a bushfire, there's a bushfire burning, yeah.
Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!
My mind's been going places without me lately.
I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground.
But I hold back! Get away from the heat.
Hold back! In my field of vision.
Hold back! Baby burning, fire.
Fire in a field of molten flowers,
Fire in a field of molten flowers.
There's a bushfire burning, yeah.
You better hold back! Hold back!
Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!
Well I'm movin' to the beat of a big bushfire.
I'm dancin' to the beat of a big bushfire,
And the flames are warm and getting brighter.
Well everybody loves to dance around the heat and fire
Oh, lightnin' strike twice.
Hey everybody, bask in the afterglow. Bushfire!
Naked light shining over my bed, been lying here too long.
I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground.
But I hold back. Get away from the heat!
Hold back! In my field of vision.
Hold back! I see smoke, smoke in your eyes.
Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!
The landscape's burning, red hot!
Bushfire. Smoke in your eyes, smoke in your eyes.
If you feel something, that makes you warm all over,
If you got a fire and you can't put it out, got a bushfire.
Rolling through a field of molten flowers;
Burning in a field of molten flowers.
There's a bushfire, there's a bushfire burning, yeah.
Bushfire! Bushfire! Bushfire!
My mind's been going places without me lately.
I need your arms to take me down, take me to the ground.

There's a bushfire burning, yeah.

Channel Z
I am livin' on Channel Z!
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static filling my attic from Channel Z
I don't know, I feel like something's happening
Something good is happening
I feel love has got to come on, and I want it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Living on the edge of Z
Space junk, laser bombs, ozone holes, better put up my umbrella!
Giant stacks blowin' smoke
Politicrits pushin' dope
All I know, we've got to change what's happening
Something good could happen
I feel light has got to come through, and I need it
Something big and lovely
I want the world to change for me, gotta get away, away from Z
Living on the edge of Z
Waste dumps, toxic fog, irradiate and keep it fresh forever
Good old boys tellin' lies
'Bout time I got wise
Getting nothing but static (static)
Getting nothing but static (static)
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Getting nothing but static (static)
Getting nothing but static (static)
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Gotta tune in, pico waves, gotta tune out, PCBs
Gotta tune in, market crash, gotta tune out, polar shift
Gotta tune in, narrow minds, gotta tune out, space junk
Gotta tune in, bombs, gotta turn out, atomic lasers falling from the sky
Where's my umbrella?
Gonna shoot that static down the drain (where's my umbrella?)
Gonna put that static out of my brain (where's my umbrella?)
Gonna put up my antennae (free, ow!)
Hamburger ads
Pop up in my head
On the edge of Aquarius (secret wars!)
I'm living on the edge (take my money away)
I know I feel a change is happening
Something good will happen
I feel love is coming on strong, and I want it
We can make it happen
I want the world to change for me
Gotta get away, away from Z
Living on the edge of Z
Channel Z's all static, all day, forever (whoa-oh)
Time to open your windows, let in better weather (whoa-oh)
Channel Z's all static, all day, forever
Time to take this information and shove it in the shredder
More trash, more dips, space junk, narrow minds, aah! (whoa-oh)
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static in my attic from Channel Z
Getting nothing but static, getting nothing but static
Static filling my attic from Channel Z
I don't know, I feel like something's happening
Something good is happening

Topaz
New cities by the sea
Skyscrapers are winking
Some hills are never seen
The universe expanding
We're gazing out to sea
Blue dolphins are singing
Minds swim in ecstasy
Clear planet, ever free
Topaz
Our hearts are traveling faster
Topaz
Faster than the speed of love
Topaz
Straight through a tear in the clouds
Topaz
Up to the heavens above
Bright ships will sail the seas
Starfishes are spinning
Some hills are never seen
Our universe is expanding
Moonrise upon the sea
Starships are blinking
We'll walk in ecstasy
Clear planet blue and green
Topaz
Our thoughts are traveling faster
Topaz
Moving beyond the heavens above
Planets pulsating, constellations creating
Voices are guiding me to the cities by the sea
(Cities by the sea) Yes, I see cities by the sea
Deep forests by the sea
Skyscrapers are winking
Some hills are never seen
The universe is expanding
Topaz
Our hearts are traveling faster
Topaz
Faster than the speed of love
Topaz
Straight through a tear in the clouds
Topaz
Up to the heavens above
Topaz
Our hearts are traveling faster
Topaz
Faster than the speed of love
Topaz
Straight through a tear in the clouds
Topaz
Up to the heavens above
Topaz
Skyscrapers are winking
Some hills are never seen
The universe expanding
We're gazing out to sea
Blue dolphins are singing
Minds swim in ecstasy
Clear planet, ever free
Topaz
Our hearts are traveling faster
Topaz
Faster than the speed of love
Topaz
Straight through a tear in the clouds
Topaz
Up to the heavens above
Bright ships will sail the seas
Starfishes are spinning
Some hills are never seen
Our universe is expanding
Moonrise upon the sea
Starships are blinking
We'll walk in ecstasy
Clear planet blue and green
Topaz
Our thoughts are traveling faster
Topaz
Moving beyond the heavens above
Planets pulsating, constellations creating
Voices are guiding me to the cities by the sea
(Cities by the sea) Yes, I see cities by the sea
Deep forests by the sea
Skyscrapers are winking
Some hills are never seen
The universe is expanding
Topaz
Our hearts are traveling faster
Topaz
Faster than the speed of love
Topaz
Straight through a tear in the clouds
Topaz
Up to the heavens above
Topaz
Our hearts are traveling faster
Topaz
Faster than the speed of love
Topaz
Straight through a tear in the clouds
Topaz
Up to the heavens above
Topaz
