OTC

(by Harland DeWitt, James DeWitt, and Brent Seaks)

James DeWitt - vocals, guitar
Harland DeWitt - vocals, harmonicas
Bill Walter - bass

I was leaning over you down in Pensacola
Soothing my throat on a fresh Ricola®
Chugged too fast on a Coca-Cola®
And spit it up and your areola

Whether it's a syrup, a tablet, or drop
Phlegm's still better than a romance flop
Sometimes life can be a downer
When you mix romance
With over the counter

Reminds me of when I used to be pre-med
Combined Drixoral® with some Sudafed®
Could not sleep so I made love to you instead
Found out later it was really your sofa bed

I thought it was over, but we met once more
But I'd just got acquainted with some Vicks [Formula] 44®
I was inattentive, rather a bore
Right up to the point where my face hit the floor

Hot Buns

(by Harland DeWitt, James DeWitt, and Brent Seaks)

Gethin Davies - vocals
James DeWitt - guitars
Harland DeWitt - bass, drums

In cooking class we were having fun
You leaned over and I saw your buns
I fell in love right on the spot
With those buns how could I not?

When we dated your buns got better
I wrote about them all in a letter
Soon everybody wanted a piece
But your yeast ain't for lease
The only thing better than hot buns
Is some sticky buns, if you know what I mean

You came over you came alone
Into the kitchen, next to the phone
You add the butter, I'll add the meat
It will knock you off you feet

Oh, baby stop, stop for my sake
You know I can't stand it when your buns shake
If they start sagging like a bundt cake
I'll keep squeezing 'til they're back in shape

Maggie Brown

(by Harland DeWitt and Brent Seaks)

Harland DeWitt - all instruments
Brent Seaks - vocals
Leslie Wills - vocals
Darren Britt - "Hot!"

Maggie Brown, fifteen years and my love's still around
I wanna give you a double serving
Of all the love you've been deserving

From potatoes au gratin to chicken friend steak
There's nothing you could give me
That I wouldn't take
Government subsidized or not
You always managed to keep it hot

Hours and hours I stood in the line
But for Maggie I didn't mind
A hearty "What else?" would always proceed
All of the food groups my body would need

Decked out in white
Your hair in a net

That is a sight I will never forget
If there's such a thing as an angel on earth
I found her serving taters for all she's worth

Postcard
(by James DeWitt)

James DeWitt - vocals, guitar
Leslie Wills - vocals
Harland DeWitt - drums
Sean Davis - maracas

Well, I'm stuck in the middle of a train station
I'm stuck in the middle of a train station
Only ten minutes more but I'm tired of waitin'
Said I'm stuck in the middle of a train station
And I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you

Well, let's take a little walk down the railroad track
Think about it later if we wanna come back
She's done you some wrong she's done you no good
You've got to take a walk you know that you should
And a train goes by

Well, I'm stuck in the middle of a train station
And I'm writing you a postcard from a train station
Postcards don't allow for much information
So I'm writing you this song from a train station
And I'm thinking about you
Thinking about you

I'll be sitting in the middle of a train
Loungin' in the dining car I'll go far
Headed down that westbound track
Think about it later if I want to come back

This Afternoon
(by Harland DeWitt, James DeWitt, and Brent Seaks)

Gethin Davies - vocals
James DeWitt - guitars
Harland DeWitt - bass, drums

In Atlanta for the weekend why not ride the MARTA
Grab a bag of Doritos® and dream of Gabe Kotter
Feel the train a-rockin', put the motion to a tune
Oh there's nothin' better than a Sunday afternoon

Up in San Francisco, hooked up with the trolley
Ghirardelli's® fills me up as I ponder Ziegfried's Follies
It's my stop already, cable car starts to swoon
Holy Rice-a-Roni® it's a Sunday afternoon
This afternoon

Man, it's hot in Dallas, crammed inside the DART
Sticking Bugles® on my fingers, give J.R. my regards
I'm a human sandwich better get off soon
Nothing comes after Saturday like Sunday afternoon

When across the pond, be sure to take the Tube
Figuring out the Underground's like solving Rubik's Cube®
Hey, there's the queen gonna shoot her my moon
Oh, there's nothin' better than a Sunday afternoon

I Work with You
(by James DeWitt)

James DeWitt - vocals, guitars
Bill Walter - bass
Harland DeWitt - drums

I work with you
I love you

By the fax machine
Of all that I can dream is faxing you
To my home fax machine
So I can have you
All the time on my hard drive

A perverted song
Yes indeed that is true
But so is my love
So is my love for you honey
It's as true as you parlez vous francais

Pass the Wite-out® please
Not to erase this song but for me, honey
To get you out of my mind
I must spread this
All over your cheeks and tummy

Well, I always knew you were something special
But I never knew you were such an intellectual
You're so fine and you're mine
I walk the line
Please be true
I love you, Peggy Sue

Office supplies, nasty guys coming around to see you
Why don't you get a clue I'm the one who needs you
When the quittin' whistle blows

Mayo Lip
(by Harland DeWitt, James DeWitt, and Brent Seaks)

Harland DeWitt - vocals, bass, drums
James DeWitt - guitar

I like to put mayonnaise on my lip
Eat some dirt and do a flip
Into a vat of sparkling glue
Where I stick thinking of you

In the City (Tonite)
(by Harland DeWitt and James DeWitt)

James DeWitt - vocals, guitars
Leslie Wills - vocals
Harland DeWitt - organ, piano, synthesizers, drums

Too many people going down in the city tonite
Too many people going down so they can feel alright
Too many street cleaning machines
Too many drivers falling asleep at the wheel
Too many drivers on the telephone
They don't know what's gonna happen when they come and go

Down, down onto the street
They going down, down onto the street
They going down, down, down, down, down, down below

This city means more to me than any other political subdivision does

Too many people throwing up on themselves tonite
Too many people, they're walking back home
They don't feel alright
They throwing up, up, up on themselves
They won't be happy when they wake up in the morning
But they'll do it all again next weekend
You can be sure of that my furry friend

It's Monday morning, the people coming down
They're going to work, most of them wear a frown
They don't like what they're doing
But I'll tell you a thing…(improv.)

Turn It Up (an itty-bitty bit)
(by Harland DeWitt and James DeWitt)

Harland DeWitt - vocals, programs
James DeWitt - vocals, guitars
Bill Walter - bass
Todd Redilla - drums

Riding coach but there ain't no coaches
We are the dons of Magic Kingdom® come
To the east coast phonies we say buenas noches
Fry your ass up just like a Steak-umm®
Preachin' hate to sell your records
If you're so holy then you tell me why
We dig your groove but not your message
The money's in the bank and your thumb's in the pie

Riding bitch but there ain't no bitches
You used to funk it up with the coyotes in the hills
Hey, west coast phonies what is this?
Now you junk it up so you can pay your yacht bill
Your red hot chili is cold gazpacho
Don't you know you lost your soul
I remember when your crime was funky and macho
When you stopped singing "On the Toilet Bowl"

We're here to chart a new course
The revolution is about to begin
Like Lance Armstrong in a Tour de Force
So shake your neighbor's hand and give him a grin
Friends and neighbors come on outside
Let it be known that there ain't no danger
The Dude-buggy's passin' for a musical drive-by
We're as cute and cuddly as a babe in a manger

Can you turn it up an itty-bitty bit?
I'm the dude in the room and I rock the shee-ot
Can you turn it up an itty-bitty bit?
I'm the dude in the room and I rock the shee-ot

We're here to chart a new course
Residudes are rockin' in the living room
A sort of band in a Tour de Force
Dissin' sell-outs and promoters of gloom
Taking back Christmas for little Susie Who
Human Genome®, did they ask this G? No.
Carrying the torch for Bad Mutha Goose
'Cause we're the boom in the room and we rock the shee-ot

Thai Young Coconut

Thai young coconut
What do you see in me?
I thought I loved you from the very first sight
…Thai young coconut

Paul Childress - spoken word

The sun goes down
But you're not ready to close
Ridin' around
Yeah, it's getting cold

But you gotta heat it up
You gotta burn that flame
Maybe it's time to let go
Yeah, that Huffy® frame

Fly Huffy® fly, Way up in the sky
Fly Huffy® fly, Like a bikely kite

Your bike's brand new
Your daddy bought it for you
You know he wouldn't approve
But it sure would be cool

Boy, you're too young to drink
And you're too young to drive
But you're never to young, my son
To let that ghost ride

Legs a pumpin', Like a choo-choo train
Body stops, Let go the reigns

The sparks were flying as the handle bar hit the curb
No one thought that you would have the nerve

Fly Huffy® fly
In the sunset sky

Fly Huffy® fly
Down the drive of life
Fly Huffy® fly
Down by my driveway tonite
