Ain't Love Strange Down at Donnie's strip club They all know my name I can't get a woman So I sit beside the stage I think Heather really likes me As she wiggles in my face Takes my forty dollars Turns and walks away Ain't love strange They honeymooned a week or two Until the thrill was gone Now down the street those newlyweds Been fighting all night long Through a hail of flying dishes The police finally came They hauled 'em off in separate cars With cuff and ankle chains Ain't love strange Ain't love stra-a-a-a-a-a-ange Ain't love strange Ain't love stra-a-a-a-a-a-ange Ain't love strange Two gay nympho Quakers On the Jerry Springer show Came strutting out in lingerie To let their family know Their daddy lost his temper When they walked out on the stage Their mama said, "I love my sons, No matter how they've changed" Ain't love strange Ten roosters in the barnyard And just one little hen They jockey for position By cock-a-doodle-in' They flap their wings And strut around Sometimes they fight all day Those fresh eggs ain't the only thing That's needing to get laid Ain't love strange Ain't love stra-a-a-a-a-a-ange Ain't love strange Ain't love stra-a-a-a-a-a-ange Ain't love strange Now God and mama Will love you unconditionally Your woman will love you If you're faithful Your dog will love you If you throw him a bone The devil will love you If you sin Your children will love you If you buy them some candy And I will love you If you put on that Blue and white polka-dot miniskirt With black stiletto heels And just let me sit back And watch you do an interpretive dance To this little groove I got going, one, two Ain't love strange Ain't love stra-a-a-a-a-a-ange Ain't love strange Ain't love stra-a-a-a-a-a-ange Ain't love strange I can't figure it Ain't love stra-a-a-a-a-a-ange Ain't love strange Ain't love stra-a-a-a-a-a-ange Blue Stew I take one bucket full Of hair like gold Then add two heaping teaspoons Of lies she told Just a quart of tears And one half truth Then I mix it all up And have some blue stew Maybe I'll start My own little cooking show And then I'll be on TV From coast to coast I'll say here is my recipe For love-sick fools And it's easy to make I call it blue stew TV dinners, a beer or two Potato chips And the bitter truth I'm eating Blue stew, blue stew It's hard on the heart It ain't good for you When you're all alone At a table for two You're having blue stew You can't buy it at Your local grocery chain I sell it at my international House of pain If you're broken hearted Have a bowl or two Cause I'm a gourmet chef At cooking blue stew There ain't no red peppers In that boiling pot But when you get burned That's what makes it hot It's so hard to swallow When your love ain't true But I get lots of business Selling blue stew I'm eating words You said to me But I've got a hunger You would not believe I'm eating Blue stew, blue stew It's hard on the heart It ain't good for you When you're all alone At a table for two You're having blue stew Yeah I'm eating Blue stew, blue stew It's hard on the heart It ain't good for you When you're all alone At a table for two You're having blue stew Blue stew I Have A Good Day (Every Now And Then) I was standing by the window In my boxer shorts On a stormy night Blind-sided from Out of nowhere You said goodbye But there's a light At the end of the tunnel Time's healing my heart Some days this deep cut Just stops bleeding And there's only a scar I have a good day Every now and then I count my blessings On one hand I start believing The sun will shine again I have a good day Every now and then That guy you're seeing Is a pretty boy with a Hard body physique Armani suits A black Mercedes And he's younger than me I ain't missed a day of work In two whole weeks now I didn't drink last night I looked at your picture And shed just one tear Before I turned out the light I have a good day Every now and then I count my blessings On one hand I start believing The sun will shine again I have a good day Every now and then I have a good day Every now and then I count my blessings On one hand I start believing The sun will shine again I have a good day Every now and then I have a good day Every now and then I count my blessings On one hand I start believing The sun will shine again Burn Down The Trailer Park I borrowed some money And sold my car I put an Air Stream trailer Up on blocks That satellite dish Was my first mistake She started watching Oprah Winfrey And Ricky Lake She cut me down To once a week At supper time There wasn't nothing to eat I was paranoid And scared to death She came home with Aqua Velva On her breath Burn down the trailer park Shoot the pink flamingos Out in the yard I can't live here Since she broke my heart I'm gonna' burn down The trailer park She hired the neighbor's son To cut our grass She gave him cold iced tea And a piece of pie My landlord came While I was out of town Our pipes got fixed And the rent went down We fell asleep With the late show on And now it's three AM I wake up and she's gone I got a strong suspicion She's at it again And since I don't know Which trailer she's in I'm gonna': Burn down the trailer park Shoot the pink flamingos Out in the yard I can't live here Since she broke my heart I'm gonna' burn down The trailer park Jenny Jones don't understand Geraldo don't understand Maury Povich Sure don't understand I got a can of gas And I'm a dangerous man I'm gonna' burn down the trailer park Shoot the pink flamingos Out in the yard I can't live here Since she broke my heart I'm gonna' burn down The trailer park Burn down the trailer park Shoot the pink flamingos Out in the yard I can't live here Since she broke my heart I'm gonna' burn down The trailer park Burn down the trailer park Burn it down What Do You Take Me For? I came home from work And ran to the telephone There was a message from you On my answering machine You said you might come over Around midnight tonight That just means if you can't Find what you want You'll come get what you need Oooh what do you take me for? Oooh what do you take me for? You whispered in my ear, "I swear I've changed" You gave me a kiss It shook me like a hurricane You burned me in your fire All night long I woke up this morning And you were gone Oooh what do you take me for? Oooh what do you take me for? You can't keep walking In and out of my life I'll only let you hurt me Just a few more times Oooh what do you take me for? Oooh what do you take me for? Oooh what do you take me for? Oooh what do you take me for? Oooh what do you take me for? Fabio And Liberace Walking down the highway Headed to New Orleans A thumb in the air and A pair of tight jeans He'd fallen on lean times So all he had to pack Were some eight by ten glossies And the shirt on his back His pink El Dorado Was looking good With a chrome candelabra Welded to the hood With a Wal-Mart keyboard And a make-up bag He was headed for the big time And going in drag Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha It was hell on the highway His feet were getting sore The batteries in his walkman Didn't work no more He raised a thumb Then flipped a finger To a passing Dodge Then saw the pink El Dorado It looked liked a mirage Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha Whistling to Sinatra Driving real fast He saw the handsome hitchhiker Took his foot off the gas Pulled it on over And offered him a ride Set a cocktail on the dashboard Of the passenger's side Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha "Where you headed to friend?" "Well I'm going to Hollywood" "But I'm stopping in New Orleans" The driver said, "Good" "You know you look a lot like Fabio, You could go far" The hiker said "Thank you man, I love this car" Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha At a Bourbon Street drag show In New Orleans Liberace plays piano To a drum machine A new interpretation Of an old familiar song And Fabio is grooving In a leopard-skin thong Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha That sounds real good ladies Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha Ooooooh sha sha Mood Ring I know nothing about this woman Everything I do is wrong Sometimes it's hard to fathom Just what page she's on I found a pretty little mood ring At the local five and dime It's gonna' solve all my problems For a dollar ninety-nine If it turns black I should turn back If it turns red She liked what I said If it turns blue I should leave her alone If it turns green She wants me I know She wants me I know I followed the instructions I read them word for word I memorized the color chart Cause I wanted to be sure I told her, "Baby it's the thought that counts" When I slipped it on her hand And then I crossed my fingers With this ring I'll understand If it turns black I should turn back If it turns red She liked what I said If it turns blue I should leave her alone If it turns green She wants me I know She wants me I know Oh all the things she's not saying I'll know as the colors are changing If it turns black I should turn back If it turns red She liked what I said If it turns blue I should leave her alone If it turns green She wants me I know If it turns black I should turn back If it turns red She liked what I said If it turns blue I should leave her alone Black Rainbow It's such a lovely day The dark clouds Have all blown away But I ain't fooled It's not okay This pretty weather Won't ever stay, naw Heaven's on the other side They got streets of gold Two miles wide Reserved for them That's living right So why is everybody Afraid to die?

On a black and white TV Back in grammar school I was watching Neal Armstrong Walking on the moon That same day I pretended I was an astronaut On the playground monkey bars I flew above the stars I was in a Dallas disco The night John Lennon died The D.J. played "Imagine" And everybody cried I remember a thousand lighters Held up in our hands All we were saying Was "Let's give peace a chance" Where was I When you stopped loving me When did I Become history There's not many things That escape my memory Tell me where was I When you stopped loving me? Every twenty-thousand years That comet lights up the night On a blanket we watched It sail across the sky A moment like that Comes just once in life It felt like our first time At eleven-thirty-five Where was I When you stopped loving me When did I Become history There's not many things That escape my memory Tell me where was I When you stopped loving me? I remember when I met you The taste of our first kiss I remember your goodbye But could you tell me this?
