When I was a boy I used to live in corduroy
OP shirts and slip-on Vans.
My life was so simple
I had not one pimple,
My everyday was made up of these plans:
To ride my bike to Thrifty's,
Run past the balls and ice cream and
find the Star Wars figurines.
Thinking of my action men,
Kung-Fu grip and all,
What happened to them all?

(Chorus)

Running through my old life
Looking for my lost toys
Where has all my fun gone?
Now that we're all older
Before we grow much colder
Let's all look forward to the new dawn
An anthem for all lost toys
Now that we're all big boys
We'll stand together and sing this song
We'll sing this song
It's not too long
So everybody sing along

When I was a little man
Playdough came in a little can
I was Star Wars' biggest fan
Now I'm stuck without a plan
GI Joe was an action man
Shaggy drove the mystery van
Devo was my favorite band
Take me back to my happy land

Now my brothers and sisters
I don't mean to make a scene
But I lost my action figures
and it makes me want to scream
Greedo, Chewbacca, Luke, R2, and Han,
3PO, Yoda, Bobafett, Obi Wan
Green Machine, Suckerman
Silly Putty, Lincoln Logs
Sitting in my Underoos
Reading christmas catalogs
What happened to my action men and all?
What happened to it all?

Running through my old life
Looking for my lost toys
Where has all my fun gone?
Now that we're all older
Before we grow much colder
Let's all look forward to the new dawn
An anthem for all lost toys
Now that we're all big boys
We'll stand together and sing this song
We'll sing this song
It's not too long
So everybody sing along

When I was a little man
Playdough came in a little can
I was Star Wars' biggest fan
Now I'm stuck without a plan
GI Joe was an action man
Shaggy drove the mystery van
Devo was my favorite band
Take me back to my happy land

Take me back to my happy land
Take me back to my happy land
Take me back to my happy land
Take me back to my happy land

Here's a story that must be told
It's kinda' new, not very old
About a female martian with a wild grin
Big orange eyes and green skin
Blue was her hair
She came from way up there
She wore silver underwear
Almost naked but she didn't care

(Chorus)
Why oh, why did she come from
Planet V?
I don't know woh woh woh
Martian girl from Planet V
Will you marry me?
Wo wo wo wo wo
She came from outer space
She came to see
If earth was good
Wo wo wo wo
She got distracted at the supermarket
In the meat department
Wo wo wo wo wo
She's looking at me
She's looking hungry
Think she's gonna eat me!
Wo wo wo wo wo

She's not a bird
She's not a plane
She's got green blood
Pumping through her veins.
Saw a light in the sky
And then I found her
Now I'm having my own close encounter
She smiled at me as she fixed her hair
And then she kissed me
Right then and there
I started bleeding,
That's the weirdest part
'Cuz this alien's teeth were razor sharp!

(Chorus)

Woah, Oh Baby,
What a wacky alien she was
I'll tell you why, It's just because
She had an appetite that couldn't be beat
She came from space to eat people meat
I guess I didn't taste good anyway
'Cuz when she kissed me,
she flew away!

(Chorus)

. . .


They're coming to take over
Huh!
Look out behind you and
Beware of the Ska Robot Army!

Chewbacca, Chewbacca
Lake Titicaca
Chewbacca's on a scooter man
HOLY CRAP!

They're coming to take over
To terrorize the earth
They're skanking in their best suits, so
Beware of the Ska Robot Army!

. . .


Now now now
I'm just a boy
I watch too much TV
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Casper the Ghost is so friendly
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Sitting in my living room
With nothing else to do
I think I'm going blind
Just like Mr. Magoo
I know every single ending
Of every Scooby Doo
Now

(Chorus)
Turn off the idiot box
It's a disease just like the Chicken Pox
Turn off the idiot box
Now

Find yourself a partner
Turn on the television
And let it control your mind

Friends, Romans, countrymen,
I've got something to say
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Get up off the couch
Get up go out and play
Nobody knows, Nobody knows

(Chorus)

Children I want to warn 'ya
'Cuz I've been to California
Where Mickey Mouse is a demon

Turn it off If you are able
Nobody knows, nobody knows
Take a pair of scissors
And cut off that cable
Nobody knows, Nobody knows

(Chorus)

. . .


Everyday when I get in my car
It's a Honda, you know
I sit on down but I don't get too far
You wanna know why?
cause I've gotta reach down
And scratch an itch
In an area, an area
That's so sensitive
So I do a

(Chorus)
Pinch and Roll (x2)
(Everybody do a) Pinch and Roll (x2)
(If you're itchy do a) Pinch and Roll (x2)
(We don't scratch, we do a) Pinch and Roll (x2)

So if you've got a problem
You know what to do
Whether you're watching TV
Or sniffing airplane glue
Which we don't do
Now the girls don't know
But us guys we all know
How to do a little dance
We call the Pinch and Roll
And we do the

(Chorus)

(Untranslatable nonsense, a sorry attempt at toasting)
(Complete jabber in a terrible Jamaican accent)

Pick it up
Now if you've got a rash
Or a minor glitch
Stick your hands on down
And give yourself a big pinch
Then you roll it around
Around and round it goes
But after you're done
Make sure you know where it goes
Not in your nose!

(Chorus)

. . .


Marianne was a good girl
The daughter of Professor Jones
One fateful day during a walk through the jungle
She fell into the catacombes
Now it's dark and damp
And she's without a lamp
Will the Professor hear his daughter's cry?
Little does he know she's fallen into the pit
Of the beast with sixteen eyes

(Chorus)
Professor Jones
He did not know
Professor Jones
He did not know
Where was his daughter?
Where did she go?
She's fallen to the beast of the webby hole
Tarantula! (x5)

With giant fangs
And eight hairy legs
The monster lives in an underground maze
Beneath the carpet of the Amazon jungle
It lies and waits for helpless prey
Now Professor Jones
Knew the legend of the monster
He found the mouth of the webby hole
Armed to the teeth he ventured forth
If he'd live or die he did not know

(Chorus)

Tarantula, Tarantula, Tarantula...

. . .


Hey big fella
I see you're outta jail
You got a brand new hat
You're walking big
You're walking tall
With your brand new baseball bat
You've got your beeper
You've got your gun
And a whole bunch of cool tattoos
Start fights at the pits at all the shows
So everybody will look at you

You're ignorant
It's knowledge you lack
You gotta fight everything you can
A big puffy head,
You're the Marshmallow Man

"Straight outta Compton"
Is your battle cry
But you're from a suburban track
Didn't your mom and daddy teach you
That ghetto stuff is really whack?
What happened to the little puffy-headed boy
We all once knew?
Marshmallow man you better watch yourself
Before someone steps on you

Check yourself before
You wreck yourself
A little man with a gun in his hand
You're such a fool
Big marshmallow man

. . .


There's so much to be happy about
In this life what a wonderful chance
We have to work hard, play hard
And maybe even find yourself a girl
And make some romance
So don't you think It'd be so lame
To get all crazy drunk
And start a fight?
We'd much rather dance with some girls
So if you want to fight
Get the heck outta here you stupid fool!

Please don't kill us
We're just the Aquabats
We're just trying to have
A little fun
Ha ha ha ha
So if you want to fight
We can duke it out
Just please don't kill us
With your gun

We're all just peaceful little Aquabats
We would never take a life
We don't want to fight
But if we must,
Please be cool,
No guns or knives.

(x2)

CD Repo Man
He can go where I can't go
CD Repo Man
He'll infiltrate your stereo
CD Repo Man
He'll sneak up around the back
CD Repo Man
He'll get your CDs back

Some people who seem to
Call themselves my friends
Take my CDs
Then they all pretend
That they lost my music
But I've got a plan
To find the nearest pay phone and
call the Repo Man

CD Repo Man
He can go where I can't go
CD Repo Man
He'll infiltrate your stereo
CD Repo Man
He'll sneak up around the back
CD Repo Man
He'll get your CDs back

When CD Repo Man
That guy is on a roll
He'll jump through windows
To get back what the suckers stole
He looks tame, but
You know he will attack
He does his job
To get your CDs back

CD Repo Man
He can go where I can't go
CD Repo Man
He'll infiltrate your stereo
CD Repo Man
He'll sneak up around the back
CD Repo Man
He'll get your CDs back

When your possessions are gone
And something is wrong
There is action to take
Don't call him unless you're really ticked
Because there is no escape
He wears a suit, it looks like he's strapped
Don't mess with him
Or you'll get smacked
Don't steal my CDs
That don't make no sense
Because a Repo Man is always intense!
Hey!

CD Repo Man
He can go where I can't go
CD Repo Man
He'll infiltrate your stereo
CD Repo Man
He'll sneak up around the back
CD Repo Man
He'll get your CDs back

. . .


Permanecer Sentado!
Churro!

Tonight's the night baby
Let's go to the show
Spend some money honey?
Sure, I'll spend some dough
We got to the spot
I knew something was wrong
When she opened her mouth
To sing along

Whoa! Whoa!
Don't say it's true
Woah! Woah!
I don't know what to do
Woah! Woah!
It's such a waste, you know
I'm sorry baby, but I've got to go

(Chorus)
It's time to say goodbye
It's been real fun
I've got to run
I'll be real busy but
Maybe I'll call you later

Can I be honest with you?
I'll be real brief
You're such a beautiful girl,
But go brush your teeth!

(Chorus)

Iki ga kusakute
Aurivaderchi
