If You Want Me To Stay (P M)

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see
I'm about to go there then you'll know
For me to stay here I've got to be me
You'll never be in doubt
That's what it's all about
You can take me for granted and smile
Count the days I'm gone
Fortget reachin' me by phone
Cause I promise I'll be gone for a while

And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now

You got to get it straight
How could I ever be late
When you're my woman taking up my time

Oh how could I ever allow
I guess I wonder how
I could get out a pocket for fun
When you know that you're never number two
Number one is gonna be number one

I'll be good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now

And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person that you really are now

I'll be so good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now

Get this message over to you now

I'll be so good

Behind The Sun (Ben Grosse)

One day while bathing in the sea
My talking dolphin spoke to me
He spoke to me in symphony
From freedom's peace beneath the sea
He looked to me eyes full of love
Said yes we live behind the sun

Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
The sun goes up and the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
Behind the sun

Now while I shower in the rain
I watch my dolphin swim away
The one who listens to the surf
Can feel the pulse beat of the earth
And like my dolphin swims so free
The sun does swim into the sea

Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
Behind the sun

An island flying through the sky
One day your son might ask you why
And if your son should be a girl
She too might ask you of this world
The sun shines sweet upon your beach
And yes my dolphin loves to teach

Behind the sun
Behind the sun
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Behind the sun
The sun goes up and the sun gets down
But like the heart of the sun
My heart continues to pound
Behind the sun

Wow!

Special Secret Song Inside

Well my landlady, she lives three houses away
She claims that she can hear my baby screaming
To me "Fuck me Anthony, well, Anthony"

I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party, party on your pussy
I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party on your pussy

Struck by lust in a telephone booth
Busted by a cop, he said "That's uncool"
He said that he hears my baby screaming
To me "Fuck me Anthony, well, Anthony"

I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party, party on your pussy
I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party on your pussy

I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party on your pussy
I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party on your pussy

I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party on your pussy

I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party on your pussy
I want to party on your little pussy, girl
I want to party on your pussy

Let me shine your diamond
The girl got a scratch
Slap that cat
Have mercy

I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party on, party on your pussy
I want to party on your pussy baby
I want to party on your pussy
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Get Up & Jump (Demo Version)

Get up and jump, get up and jump
Get up get up get up and jump
Jump on up, jump on down
Just jump-a jump-a jump-a jump-a jump around
Jump the day away
Jump all over town
Cause jumpin' is okay in a jumpin' kinda way, hey

Jump a boy, jump a girl, jump a rope, jump for joy
Just don't stop jumpin'
Keep your heart muscle pumpin'
Hillel be jumpin' on the little baby frumpkin
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?

When you're just standing or sitting still
Think about the frogs getting a thrill
Take a little lesson from the kangaroos
Don't you know they're jumping foos, jump you!

Jump a nun
Jump a jack
Jump for fun
Jump back
How's about us jumpin' in the sack
And now it's time for a jump attack
Get up and jump (x8)

Jam Bob, Jim Bob, Slim Bob Boogie
To the tune of slima Billy
Lookin' you're mighty silly
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?

Mister Mexican Jumping Bean
Knows is fun is squeaky-clean
Christ, how do you think that he got so lean?
Not from sitting on his goddamn spleen
Get up!

Oh, I be jumpin' I be jumpin' I be jumpin' alone
I be jumpin' for the phone
I be jumpin' Miss Jones
I really want to jump on Kinski's bones

Get up and jump (x16)
Ba da boo bop

Jam Bob, Jim Bob, Slim Bob Boogie
To the tune of slima Billy
Lookin' like you're mighty silly
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?
Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants?

Out In L.A (Demo Version)

We're all a bunch of brothers livin' in a cool way
Along with six million others in this place called L.A.

L.A. is the place, sets my mind ablaze
For me it's a race through a cotton pickin' maze

The town makes me jump, it's got a bunch of bad chicks
Well, sure it's got some chumps, but I still get my kicks
My body loves to scrump when I lick the ripe pick
Like a come on a thumb poppin' hump, hump, hump, pop out

The action never stops, I'm as wild as can be
Cause I'm shootin' for the top and my best friend is Flea
Oom Chuck Willy knew the balls to pop
But he never met the Tree so he never be-bopped
Out hop

Antwan the Swan from the pretty fish pond
Was a bad mother jumper, you could tell he was strong
He wore a cold paisley jacket and a hellified hat
And between his legs was a sweet young lass
He threw a hundred women up against the wall
And he swore to fear that he'd love'em all
By the time he got to ninety nine he had to stop
Because that's when he thought that he heard a phone

Last night and the night before I heard a fop outside
Then I came indoors
Rock out!

Now that I told you a little something 'bout the Flea
A little something 'bout the Tree, a little something 'bout me
I can't leave you hangin', but my man Shermzy
He swings the ying, he bangs the yang
And now it's time to hear him do his playin'
You better be burning Sherman!

We're all a bunch of brothers living in a cool way
Along with six million others in this place called L.A.
Step out!

Out In L.A (Demo Version)

Green Heaven (Demo Version)

About this planet there is something I know
There's a very big difference 'tween above and below
A friend, foe or bro leave your body on the floor
Let your spirit fly away like the soul of a crow

Here above the land man has laid his plan
And yes, it does include the Ku Klux Klan
We got a government so twisted and bent
Bombs, tanks, guns is how our money is spent
We got V.D., heroin, greed and prostitution
Tension, aggravation, L.Ron Hubbard solution
Not to mention hard-core chemical pollution
If you think you're just away you're in a mental institution
And that's a heartfelt shame
Cause everyone's crazy, everyone's the same
So, why should only Larry, Curly or Moe be to blame?

Time now to take you to a different place
Where peace lovin' whales flow through liquid outer space
Groovin' and glidin' as graceful as lace
Never losing touch with the ocean's embrace
Diviner than the dolphin, that there is none
Cause dolphins just like to have a lot of fun
No one tells'em how their life is run
And no one points at'em with a gun
They have a lot of love for every living creature
The smile of a dolphin is a built in feature
They be movin' in schools but everyone's the teacher
Someday Mister Dolphin I know I'm goin' to meet you

Back to the land of the policeman
Where he does whatever he says he can
Including hating you because you're a Jew
Or beating black ass, that's nothing new
Trigger happy cops, they just like to brawl
They use guns, clubs, gas, but that's not all
They got puke ridden prisons and sex sick jails
Fuck the poor, if you're rich you pay the bail
So support your police, support your local wars
That's the way to open economic doors
Why do we do it? Cause the President's a whore
We assume the position to sell the ammunition
What the fuck? It's the American tradition
Along with going fishing, apple pies in the kitchen
Isn't it bitchin' seeing dead men in ditches?

Green Heaven (Demo Version)

Police Helicopter (Demo Version)

Police helicopter sharkin' through the sky
Police helicopter landing on my eye

Police helicopter takes a nose-dive
Police helicopter he ain't shy

Police helicopter sharkin' through the sky
Police helicopter landing on my eye

Police helicopter takes a nose-dive
Police helicopter he ain't shy

Aaaaw!

Police Helicopter (Demo Version)

Nevermind (Demo Version)

Yom, in the middle of June in the summer fifty nine
I was young and cool, we shot a bad game of pool
And I hustled all the chumps I could find
Now they called me the Swan cause I wave my magic one
And I loved all the women to death
I partied hard, packed a mean rod
And I'd knock you with a right or left

Nevermind a PacJam
Nevermind a Gap Band
Nevermind a Zap Band
Nevermind the Funk Scam
Cause we're the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Nevermind the British bands
Nevermind the Synth Funk bands
Nevermind the Wham Wham band
Nevermind Duran Duran
Cause we're the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Nevermind the Soft Cell shit
That's strictly for the twits
Nevermind the Men At Work
Those tunes are for the jerks
Cause we're the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Push, push, push
Push, push, push

Push, push, push
Push, push, push

Nevermind Hall and Oates
Those guys are a couple of goats
Nevermind the Culture Club
That jive's just one big flub
Cause we're the Red Hot Chili Peppers!

Nevermind (Demo Version)

Sex Rap (Demo Version)

Time to swing a little melody
To make you feel some sexually
And now we're gonna get it on in the groove
The groove that makes those smooth hips move
We are pumpin' that driven bad rhythm
To make this pretty little pussy lips schism
Kiss'em kiss'em kiss'em

In the mind is one design
To make you feel fine
Suckin' on mine
In the sixty nine
I'm inclined to fuck fuck fuck
Fuck your brains out
For the moment, come on now, make her shout
Push it on and pull it on out
Pump that labium till it pouts

Sex rap
Sex
Sex rap
Sex

Open up your legs to the sensual sound
With the beauty of the beat on your pretty wet mound
I can tell you're lookin' like a horny bloodhound
Feel the bass, hug the ground
Just drop your knees and come unbound
And now you make your mouth to get on down

Our lust for notes will boil your blood
When they slither and slide on under your hood
Makin' me shout my powerpacked pud
Like a wild lady's lover viable stud
Because of what is known as a juicy, wet, pud
Gettin' it gettin' it gettin'it good

Sex rap
Sex
Sex rap
Sex

In my head I hear a hellafied hum
I take to rubbin' her on the bum
Adjust the lips some on the tongue
With my thumb I strum her plum
Start to make her orgasm
Tastes a little bit like, ooze, now cum

Well I like to make her cum
To the rhythm of the drum
Make cum, make cum cum

Blues For Meister

Blues for Meister

It's always half and half
I'm happy and I'm sad
Everything that's beautifull
Always kills me too
The highest I get up
Is the deepest I get down
You're up there with your life
That's why I gotta shout, shout,
...And then gotta shout, shout

Blues for Meister
You sweet little thing
Blues for Meister
I'm so sad I gotta sing
A cozy little kitty up
sittin' on the couch
Oh, kitty cat, oh, baby
I really miss you now
Well have some respect
For my cat
He got squashed by the wheel
Of a Cadillac
Well, me and my pussy
We lost our flow
Well, goodbye my little calico

Your food's still in the cupboard
Hangin' in its can
You used to love to eat it
Down
I'll always love you Meister
You were so good to me
There's nothing like you nowhere
As far as I can see

Blues For Meister

You Always Sing The Same

You Always Sing The Same

You always sing
You always sing the
You always sing the same x6

You Always Sing The Same

Stranded on a toilet bowl

What do you do when you're stranded
And there ain't nothing on the roll?
To prove you're a man
You must wipe it with your hand
Stranded
Stranded on a toilet bowl !

What It Is

What it Is

Give it up to this time full of strife
Get down, you might be fucking with the song of life
Extend your deeper senses, there will be no fight
At the never ending ocean of perfect insights
'Round your molecule beam with a halo of light
The animated aura will give delight
Soon, your every single worry will be out of sight

With the power of It, we are about to astound
All your preconceptions, they will come unbound
"Listen very close," my inner voice expounds
"We are the human race, and we groove to the sound"
Yes, we deliver the truth to our musical birth
A soul shocking sound with electrify the earth
People have to know that it's not about money
Cash is not the way to make your life sunny
There is no need if you got the soul seed
Love, life and peace, it can only begin
When you know in your heart that the change is within
Love all your brothers and love all your sisters
Love all the missus and love all the misses
And don't be shy when you're sharing your kisses
Greed, jealousy gets boos and hisses

[Chorus]
What it is, what it is, so much to be found
What it is, what it is, groove down to the sounds
What it is, what it is, what it is in a song
What it is, what it is, you can do no wrong

Balance your life with the right kind of foods
To eat a sad cow is to eat another you
Well, that's an unfair rap, it's unforgivably rude
It'll put your Karma in the worst of moods
Someone's drinking booze and taking too many ludes
'Cause when you cop, don't you cop an attitude
And that's an ugly thing, it's not the real you
So please y'all, take some sound advice
Be yourself, clear your mind, make a sacrifice
The always sober you is especialy nice

Don't loot, don't shout, give comet the boot
I love it kickin' back and playin' my bamboo flute

Refuse to fight wars for political whores
Unsurpassed peace lines the salt water shores
It is my notion that the perfect peace potion
Can be found in the wake of the green sea ocean
The long rocky swells of the mighty blue ocean
Is the cradle of peace, it's the perfect peace potion
There you will find it, with sweet sea creatures
The smile of a dolphin is a built-in feature
We will learn much peace will the whale as your teacher
"Good morning class, how very nice to meet you"

[Chorus]

Open up your hearts to the planets; to the stars
With your spirit take a trip from Venus to Mars
You know, Einstein did while Hitler hid
Now, Albert lives forever in every single kid
But, with Adolph Hitler, we are permanently rid
Picasso, Mister Dali and my man, Jimi Hendrix
These cool brothers make the world go 'round
Yeah, they do it with art, and Jimy did it with sound
But, by all these men, it was found
Each and every person can be just as renowned
Don't let the world's racist creeds give your pretty face a frown
Stand up for equal rights, I mean buckle down
Go spread the word from town to town
We are the human race and we groove to the sounds

Now that you've heard what it is in a song
From here on in, you can do not wrong

What It Is
