THE ​BELLE ISLE RATS

Not Much Better

The Bufferin is kickin' in, the Tylenol was a good call

and the only thing keepin me goin', is the Motrin

I've taken so much vitamin C, there's a citrusy kind of smell, when I pee

and I've got the chills so bad, I have to wear a sweater

 

I'm not much better

I'm still feelin' bad, you still make me mad, I'm a most unhappy lad

I'm not much better

still have a hacking cough, so sick of chicken broth, yeah you still piss me off

No I'm not much better

 

The chiropractor tweaked my spine, my psychoanalyst tried to analyze my mind

and at one juncture, I tried acupuncture

I've had EKG's and MRI's, been poked up there where the sun don't shine

and when the nurse tried to give me a shot I wouldn't let her

 

So I'm not much better

I'm still feelin' bad, you still make me mad, I'm a most unhappy lad

I'm not much better

I still don't feel so good, really wish I could, I like Balsa wood

No I'm not much better

 

all the cookies that I've tossed

they exact a hefty cost

friends I've missed and time I've lost

after all these years I'm still ill

I'm not much better

 

 

I'm In Love

I'm in love with the love that I'm in

I'm still reeling from those romantic feelings

you make me smile

I'm in love with the love that I'm in

I've got a weakness, for your sweetness

and I like your style

 

I'll take you to dinner, and we'll go dancing

We'll shake it to the hustle and the mambo

Then I'll take you to dine with me at Panda Express

and I'll treat you to a three-item combo

That crazy cupid, he used more than arrows this time

He sprayed armor piercing bullets through my torso

And when that day finally arrives and I see you face-to-face

the love that I have for you will be more so

 

Oh I'm in love!

Yes I am, oh yeah!

 

 

Airhead

There's a whistling sound when you walk

but it's not coming from your lips

it's coming from the space in between your ears

wide enough for two passing ships

there's a low pressure system blowing in

from the area around your mouth

and thunderheads are forming in your brain

and your thoughts are just one big cloud

 

you're nothing but an airhead, airhead

you're nothing but an airhead, hey

you're nothing but an airhead, airhead

You're nothin' but an airhead, baby, yeah

 

it isn't hot or cold, still or windy

cool, calm or warm

there's got to be something goin’ on in your mind

but I know isn't any brainstorm

your personality's a cold front

I can feel the chill from here

your attitude blows like the jet stream

you're out of touch like the stratosphere

 

you're nothing but an airhead, airhead

you're nothing but an airhead, hey

You're nothing but an airhead

 

SOLO

 

you're nothing but an airhead, airhead

you're nothing but an airhead, hey

you're nothing but an airhead, airhead

You're nothin' but an airhead, baby, yeah

 

and you're not very nice

 

"I like it Mike!"
