I’ve got big balls, I’ve got big balls  
They’re such big balls  
And they’re dirty big balls  
And he’s got big balls, and she’s got big balls  
BUT WE’VE GOT THE BIGGEST BALLS OF THEM ALL!!!

I like big butts and I can not lie  
You other brothers can’t deny  
That when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist  
And a round thing in your face  
You get sprung, wanna pull out your tough

So he’s crossed it with an acorn from an oak tree  
And he’s planted it against the garden wall  
It shot up like a rocket, 'til it’s nearly reached the sky  
It’s the biggest aspidistra in the world

There’s always been Ethel:  
“Jacob, wake up! You’ve got to tidy your room now.”  
And then Mister Lewis:  
“Isn’t it time that he was out on his own?”  
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!  
Keep them mowing blades sharp…

How many songbirds fly to and fro  
In an English country garden?  
We’ll tell you now of some that we know -  
Those we miss you’ll surely pardon

Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird,  
The mockingbird still singing o’er her grave;  
Listen to the mockingbird, listen to the mockingbird,  
Still singing where the weeping willows wave.

Listen to my plea  
Hear me willow and weep for me

Weeping willow

Weeping willow

Burgers and fries and cherry pies, it was simple and good back then.  
Walking in the sand hand in hand never thinking that it could end.  
Making our love with the moon above at the drive in picture show.  
And it was burgers and fries and cherry pies in a world we used to know.

Cheeseburger in paradise.  
Heaven on earth with an onion slice.  
Not too particular, not too precise.  
I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise.

Though it’s cold and lonely in the deep dark night  
I can see paradise by the dashboard light  
Ain’t no doubt about it we were doubly blessed  
'Cause we were barely seventeen and we were barely dressed

Ain’t no doubt about it  
Baby, got to go out and shout it  
Ain’t no doubt about it  
We were doubly blessed

Ornamental or warm and gentle  
Can you tell heaven from hell  
As you will some day  
On the way to paradise

There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell  
And I was thinking to myself, “This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”  
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way  
There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say…
