REASONABLY GOOD
Baby, your eyes
are the source of your vision
When the cornea, retina and optic nerve all do their thing
Yeah, it makes me sing
and baby your lips
are a part of your mouth
which then proceeds to your esophagus, stomach
small and large intestines too
Yeah, it's what makes you, you
I've got a heart the size of Rhode Island,
and you've filled it 53 percent
Because it's reasonably good that you're with me
when I weigh the pros and cons of us I see
In all likelihood
That it's reasonably good
I've analyzed the traits of love and found
There's a net gain in having you around
Oh yeah it's understood
That it's reasonably good
You're reasonable good for me
and I think if you do the analysis for yourself
you'll realize that I'm reasonable good for you too
Baby, your long blond hair
made up of 100 thousand individual strands
that grow 2.5 centimeters every month or so
I enjoy how fast it grows
I've got a heart the size of Rhode Island,
and you've filled it 61 percent
CHORUS
My love letters all had asterisks
Tables, charts and graphs
And when I bought you a box of chocolate baby
Oh I ate half, yeah I ate half
SOLO
I've got a heart the size of Rhode Island,
and you've filled it 66 percent
CHORUS
You're reasonably good for me, oh
You're reasonalbly good for me
Yeah baby
Reasonably good, reasonably good for me ohh
No more charts (no more charts)
Well, fewer graphs (well, fewer graphs)
I'm gonna keep my tables (he's gonna keep his tables)
and I think I love you ... well ...
FREAK OUT MY CAT
I took a picture of a mouse
and taped it on the bottom of his food bowl
I modified a laser pointer so that
he could catch the light and take it home
I got some photo statuettes of me and
set 'em up inside his litter box
Surprised him with a hanging footware mobile so that he
could lay and bat my sox
'cause I, I, I wanna freak out my
I, I, I wanna freak out my
I, I, I wanna freak out my cat
I dressed the dog in a tuxedo then I sent him
over with a ball of twine
I do whatever things that I can think of
that are harmless but will tweak his mind
I wanna freak him out
just so he knows that I'm here, and I'm near
and that most of all I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Yea, yeah, yeah
Just want him to realize
That I'm the one who sees him, feeds him
leads him, needs him
Every day
A cat is a wonderful thing
He fills my emotional needs
and helps me make decisions
'cause I, I, I wanna freak out my
I, I, I wanna freak out my
I, I, I wanna freak out my cat
BOB CRANE POLKA
At first he was a DJ, then in a TV show
With Werner Klemperer and Richard Dawson, in Hogan's Heroes
He then appeared in theaters
in places like Daytona
'till he met his untimely demise
in sunny Arizona
Bob Crane
Raise your glass and knock one back for Bob
Raise your voice and sing "Hooray" for Bob (Hooray!)
Stay up late and hoist one up for Bob
La da da da da da, La da da da
La da da da da da da da
AMWAY FAMILY
Hey, hey, hey they're an Amway family
Hey, hey, hey they're an Amway family
They smile like freaks and they're pleasant as petunias
but they're gonna hit you up at the family reunion
they ask about Aunt Clare, but they don't care
just want to share, their
product catolog with you
'cause that's what they do
Hey, hey, hey they're an Amway family
They want you to buy, buy, buy something out of their garage
Hey, hey, hey they're an Amway family
You better prepare yourself for a sales barrage
They're all amped up from a rah-rah convention
Now they're out in force trying to compete for your attention
Here comes Uncle Joe, we better blow
He wants to show
us something we don't really want or need
I'd rather hack off a limb and bleed
CHORUS
