Track Name: Genghis Khan
Genghis Khan got his rabbit skin on
Got them filthy toes, got a buttery nose
Got an eye like a drunk, got a gut like a skunk
But the ladies all love him cause he's so fuckin' crunk

And he don't give a damn if you think he looks funny
'Cause everybody knows that he throws that money down
(Down down down down down down down down)

My Mongolian lord got a gun and a sword
When he's rippin' it up with his hell-raisin' horde
Got a gallon of mead, got an acre of weed
Got a double-barred crossbow and an M-16

And he don't give a damn if you think he looks funny
'Cause everybody knows that he throws that money down
(Down down down down down down down down)

Runnin' like an elephant and gunnin' like a bear
Got a wind blowin' in his fiery hair
Never seen another brother try to compare his
Psychological warfare (psychological warfare)

Kublai Khan sent a note to his mom
Said I drink my mead, and I smoke my bong
I don't know where to go when I butter my toes
But I'm gonna get funky with my daddy's hos

And he don't give a damn if you think he looks funny
'Cause everybody knows that he throws that money down
(Down down down down down down down down)
Track Name: Little Red Rooster
Oh...yeah...
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I got a little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
He keeps all the hens in the barnyard
Upset in every way
If you see my little rooster
Send him home to me
If you see my little rooster
Send him home to me
I wanna take my little rooster
I wanna slap him 'cross my knee
Yeah...yeah...oh yeah
If you see my little rooster
Send him home to me
If you see my little rooster
Send him home to me
I wanna take my little rooster
I wanna slap him 'cross my knee
Track Name: On a Dime
That morning, I told her
Don't drop me a line
My phone is on silent
My ringer's on time
That morning, I told her
I'm running away
Drop in on my office,
See my letterhead say

Throw my heart away
I can stop on a dime
I ain't thinking of you
And I'm making it fine

The sun in Chicago
Is making me high
No heartache, no sorrow
No reason to die
That morning, I told her
I'm running away
Drop in on my office,
See my letterhead say

Throw my heart away
I can stop on a dime
I ain't thinking of you
And I'm making it fine

That morning, I told her
Don't drop me a line
My phone is on silent
My ringer's on time
That morning, I told her
I'm running away
Drop in on my office,
See my letterhead say

Throw my heart away
I can stop on a dime
I ain't thinking of you
And I'm making it fine
Track Name: Brown Chicken Brown Cow
Brown chicken, brown cow
Whatcha gonna do now?
Summer's almost over
Pluck it like a clover
Cluckin' like a rooster
Livin' like a champ
Like a video vamp
On a demolition mission
Brown chicken brown cow

Ridin' like a spider
Sippin' apple cider
My baby's get wider
Don't know how to hide her
I don't give a damn
I'm a medicine man
Got a miracle dram
It's a kitten bitten rhythm
Brown chicken brown cow

I'm a rabid rabbit
With a nasty habit
Gonna jump and grab it
From the medicine cabinet
Rat on a wheel
Ridin' the steel
And I don't give a fuck
If I can die on the wheel
Fa da fa da fa fo
fa da fa da fa fo yeah
Fa da fa da fa fo
fa da fa da fa fo yeah

Brown chicken, brown cow
Whatcha gonna do now?
Summer's almost over
Pluck it like a clover
Cluckin' like a rooster
Livin' like a champ
Like a video vamp
On a demolition mission
Brown chicken brown cow
Track Name: Hang My Head
Hang my head
Can't sleep when I'm on my bed
I'm dreaming of the things she said
My baby dropped me on my head
Can't sleep when I'm on my bed
My baby dropped me on my head

Now I'm callin'
Out to my baby
Well I'm fallin'
Don't mean maybe
When she calls me
I'm goin' crazy
Well I'm fallin'
Don't mean maybe
But I hang my head
Can't sleep when I'm on my bed

Bills to pay
I'm dreaming of her every day
I'm dreaming of the things she say
My baby does it every way
Can't sleep when I'm on my bed
My baby dropped me on my head

Now I'm callin'
Out to my baby
Well I'm fallin'
Don't mean maybe
When she calls me
I'm goin' crazy
Well I'm fallin'
Don't mean maybe
But I hang my head
Can't sleep when I'm on my bed

Every day
Every way
Cryin' like a chicken
But I'm meanin' to say
That I'm cryin'
All of the time
Up in the sky
Wonderin' why
Never had another
But I don't mean to sigh
But I'm cryin'
All of the time

Hang my head
Can't sleep when I'm on my bed
I'm dreaming of the things she said
My baby dropped me on my head
Can't sleep when I'm on my bed
My baby dropped me on my head


Now I'm callin'
Out to my baby
Well I'm fallin'
Don't mean maybe
When she calls me
I'm goin' crazy
Well I'm fallin'
Don't mean maybe
But I hang my head
Can't sleep when I'm on my bed
Track Name: Sticky Icky
Out in the hills where my brain gets sticky
When I'm out in the hills well I do the sticky icky
On a freight train runnin' down a one way bottle of rum
Well I fall on my back on the track, sayin' hey
I got to badap budap but who the fuck is Jack?!

Jack is the man with the mojo money, honey
Jack is the man with the low-ridin' bunny
When he rolls that rider gonna spin like a spider tonight
Well I fall on my back on the track, sayin' hey
I got to badap budap but who the fuck is Jack?!

Well, Jack's got a Cadillac baby
Sittin' in the back of his shack
Sometimes I go a bit crazy
But I'm never owin' to Jack
'Cause he's whack

He's got a hole where he keeps his woman
Got a sticky icky hole where he keeps his woman
And a night time woman and one time woman she'll be
Well I fall on my back on the track, sayin' hey
I got to badap budap but who the fuck is Jack?!

(I can't help it, man -- my passion is too strong! My love is too deep, my love is too deep)

I got a drum and I like to beat it, baby
I got a drum and I like to hit it, honey

I said, yeah, yeah, yeahhh
