Bright and early in the SGV, three little birds were singing to me. “Dontcha' worry about a thing, that’s our message to you, Rudy. 'Cause you'll be sharing a special brew with Suzy Q and a boy named Sue!” “Find yourself an LA woman,” I was told by the Lizard King, “a short skirt and a long jacket, the kind you'll find at the Feel Good, Inc. But on your way beware the carnies screaming at you ‘I got wood!’” I arrive at the dead man's party. No entry though ‘cause I’m only a lad, so I sneak in with the band geek mafia and I find myself somewhere in the between off a sick boy and his living dead girl. Johnny B. Good just left with Mary Jane. Like at Flannigan's ball all it took was a punch to start the psychobilly freak out, now the party's all done.

I'm picking up slack, I'm coming right back, it's what I've got to do. Don't think about much, ain't got to rush, ‘cause it'll come to you. Troubles come and go, some fast some slow, but it's all alright. 'Cause when you think of it you can't really fit those troubles in your life. Driving down the I-10 and wouldn't you know my poor old car just sits there refusing to go. Reach in my back right pocket and wouldn't you know, got enough nickels and dimes to ride the Metro. Finally arrive at practice and wouldn't you know my amp's gone and busted before the big show, but I've got no worries 'cause wouldn't you know. I've got a buddy who says he knows where to go. I'm picking up slack, I'm coming right back, it's what I've got to do. Don't think about much, ain't got to rush, ‘cause it'll come to you. Troubles come and go, some fast some slow, but it's all alright. 'Cause when you think of it you can't really fit those troubles in your life. So the show wraps up and wouldn't you know, we find ourselves with a thirst but not enough dough. The bar man takes pity and wouldn't you know- a couple of free rounds for the Two Tone Boneros. I'm picking up slack, I'm coming right back, it's what I've got to do. Don't think about much, ain't got to rush, ‘cause it'll come to you. Troubles come and go, some fast some slow, but it's all alright. 'Cause when you think of it you can't really fit those troubles in your life.

We're at the show, I'm in the pit seeing you. Blur of people pushing passes right through the sight of your long, dark, raven hair. Your eyes catch me in an unbroken stare. Lonely-looking girl, you look down at your feet when you should be happy that you're living free. Lonely-looking girl, why you looking down? I got something for you that will turn that frown. Come on pretty baby, won't you skank with me? It's easier to learn if you move your feet, just kick them out and shuffle, gotta groove to the beat 'cause dancing with you, baby, it would be my treat. You're over there, your fist is in the air. Don't wanna be bothered or pushed in there. The pit is where I really want to be, skanking with the pleasure of your company. Gorgeous baby girl the pit is winding down, just look at me two-stepping, gliding 'cross the ground. Gorgeous baby girl, just do it now - I'll pull you in, we'll skank, doesn't matter how. Come on pretty baby, won't you skank with me? It's easier to learn if you move your feet, just kick them out and shuffle, gotta groove to the beat 'cause dancing with you, baby, it would be my treat. Gorgeous baby girl, I’m glad you came around. You got me grooving smoothly to that rocksteady sound. Gorgeous baby girl, will you come home with me? I want to be the man to give you everything. Come on pretty baby, won't you skank with me? It's easier to learn if you move your feet, just kick them out and shuffle, gotta groove to the beat 'cause dancing with you, baby, it would be my treat.

So they told me she's no angel baby, but that didn't matter to me, and now she's had me walking down the street all love struck and carefree. Not gonna lie but I'm still thinking about the dirty things she did to me- her 69 and the Reverse Cowgirl... had my head spinning in a whirl! Up and down, side to side, light and dark, black and white. I still remember the time I met her, a night I'll never regret. I saw her skanking in the pit, a sight I'll never forget. So I jump in and what did I see? Her shirt half open for me. I tried to keep my cool but in my head I was like, "Holy shit, titties!" Up and down, side to side, light and dark, black and white. She held me close and kissed me softly, said I looked good in my suit. I kissed her back, she was just too cute, but she was drunk to tell you the truth. But so was I so I dove into those thighs, she got that that Two Tone loving all night. We finished up but I didn't cry cause' we'd meet again next Saturday night! Up and down, side to side, light and dark, black and white.

Beer Run 03:29
They see us on the street with a beer in our hands. They're so quick to judge, they don’t give us a chance. A chance to be free, a chance to suffice. Beer after beer, doesn't matter the price. Oi! Oi! Beer run tonight! Oi! Oi! I said beer run tonight! 'Cause we're drinking like pirates, straight ignoring sirens, always loud and never silent, sometimes proud and sometimes violent. If you’re drunk then just riot. Don’t drink? Man, just try it ‘cause were smoked out and fucked up-there’s no use in crying!
