They call me Dr. Fucker  
You might feel a little pinch  
It’s a diesel mothertrucker  
Solid gold lead pipe cinch  
Eyes as green as gooseshit  
Squirtin’ acid from my tongue  
I run with all the whozits  
And my mainspring’s done been sprung

Calling Dr. Fucker  
Calling Dr. Fucker  
Rock’n’roll emergency  
Calling Dr. Fucker  
Calling Dr. Fucker  
Rock’n’roll M.D.

Well, it’s forty below and I don’t give a fuck  
Got a heater in my truck  
And I’m off to the rodeo  
It’s an allemande left, and allemande right  
Come on, you fuckin’ dummy  
Get your right step right  
Get off the stage, ya goddam goof  
Don’tcha know?

Piss me off  
Fuckin’ jerk  
Get on my nerves

(To the tune of “Jingle Bells”)

Dashing through the snow  
In my rusty Chevrolet  
Down the road I go  
Sliding all the way  
I need new piston rings  
I need some new snow tires  
My car is held together  
By a piece of chicken wire

Oh, rust and smoke, the heater’s broke  
The door just blew away  
I light a match to see the dash  
And then I start to pray  
The frame is bent, the muffler went  
The radio, it’s okay  
Oh, what fun it is to drive  
This rusty Chevrolet

“Rusty Chevrolet,” Da Yoopers

Observe if you will  
I’m in my hide-out in the back of the hill  
I crack a wall then I caught about a mil  
Co-defendant Johnny Blaze and Bobby Steels  
We was blazing hot wheels  
Turn the corner you can hear the wheels squeal  
On that ass fast was the Batmobile  
I could tell by the demon on the grill, this was real  
Alley-cat screaming, I hit a trash can  
Garbage everywhere, money flying out the bags and  
Trying to escape, code nine with the cape  
Or else he’d be headed upstate, it’s The Riddler

Keep on turning now, keep on burning now  
Keep on turning  
Hot Wheels!

No, what? How can this be?  
I’ve never tried acid, shrooms, _or_ DMT!  
It’s a bad trip! Oy, gevalt!  
Of course, Blitzø, this would be _your_ fault!

My lungs are full of honesty  
Would you promise me that you won’t judge?  
(Yes, bitch)  
Not trying to divulge too much  
But I’m in too deep  
So first of all  
FUCK YOU!  
(WHAT?!)  
This is just typical!  
Well, two can play at this game of dismay  
Cuz if _you’re_ here, causing frustration  
I’m torturing _you_ in _your_ hallucination!

He’ll take you up, he’ll bring you down,  
He’ll plant your feet back on the ground.  
He’ll fly so high, he’ll swoop so low.

He’ll fly his astral plane.  
He’ll take you trips around the bay.  
He’ll bring you back the same day.

Watching me?  
Ah no takin’ LSD

He rides through the jungle, tearin’ limbs off of trees  
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)  
Knockin’ great big monsters dead on their knees  
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)  
The cats don’t bug him 'cause they know better  
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)  
'Cause he’s a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter  
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)  
(Alley-Oop) He’s the toughest man there is alive  
(Alley-Oop) Wears clothes from a wildcat’s hide  
(Alley-Oop) He’s the king of the jungle jive  
Look at that cave man go!  
Yaaaaaah!

He’s free as the breeze  
He’s always at ease  
He lives in the jungle  
And hangs by his knees  
As he swings through trees  
Without a trapeze  
In his BVD’s  
A-hoo hoo!

He’s got a union card  
And he’s practicin’ hard  
To play the gitar  
Gon’ be a big star  
Yeah he’s gonna go far  
An’ carry moonbeams home in a jar!

He ordered Chet’s guitar course COD  
Makes A&E an’ he’s workin’ on B  
Digs C&W an’ R&B  
An’ an’ me an’ a chimpanzee agree  
That one day soon he’ll be  
A celebrity

I hate every ape I see  
From chimpan-A to chimpan-Zee  
No, you’ll never make a monkey out of me!

Oh my God! I was wrong!  
It was Earth All Along  
You’ve finally made a monkey,  
(Yes, we finally made a monkey!)  
Yes, you’ve finally made a monkey  
Out of me!

Secretly, I’ve been tailing you  
Like a fox that preys on a rabbit  
I had to get you, and so I knew  
I had to learn your ways and habits  
Ooh, you were the catch that I was after  
But I looked up, and I was in your arms  
And I knew that I was captured  
What’s this whole world coming to?  
Things just ain’t the same  
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

I have only come here seeking knowledge  
Things they would not teach me of in college  
I can see that destiny you sold  
Turned into a shining band of gold

I’ll be wrapped around your finger  
I’ll be wrapped around your finger

There’s a chapter on fathers, a chapter on sons  
There are pages of conflicts that nobody won  
And the battles you lost and your bitter defeat  
There’s a page where we fail to meet

There are tales of good fortune that couldn’t be planned  
There’s a chapter on God that I don’t understand  
There’s a promise of Heaven and Hell but I’m damned if I see

Though the pages are numbered  
I can’t see where they lead  
For the end is a mystery no-one can read  
In the book of my life

Chapter one says to love her  
You love her with all your heart  
Chapter two you tell her you’re  
Never, never, never, never, never gonna part  
In chapter three remember the meaning of romance  
In chapter four you break up  
But you give her just one more chance  
Oh, I wonder, wonder who, mmbadoo-ooh, who  
Who wrote the book of love?

There’s a chance you will be there  
Wondering what to do  
How to play my role  
I’ll leave it up to you  
If I disguise my smile  
It gives too much away  
What if we can’t speak?  
What, then, shall I say?  
Don’t you be too long  
Something has gone wrong  
The chances are all gone

Another game of putting things aside  
As if we’ll come back to them sometime  
A brace of hope  
A pride of innocence  
And you would say something has gone wrong

Oh again  
It seems we meet  
In the spaces  
In between  
We always say  
It won’t be long  
Oh but something’s always wrong

There’s something happening here  
But what it is ain’t exactly clear  
There’s a man with a gun over there  
Telling me I got to beware

I think it’s time we stop  
Children, what’s that sound?  
Everybody look, what’s going down?

On my own  
As I wander through this wonderland alone  
Never knowing my right foot from my left  
My hat from my glove  
I’m too misty and too much in love
