  • "Tracey"

    AJ & Kevin wrote this little ditty in honor of Tracey's birthday. The references to "Stacy" are in relation to Hubert's ex, who hung around a lot and made Tracey very angry. Hubert was a bit of a jerkwad.

    Note: later on, we showered Tracey with gifts of chocolate covered fruit, but she didn't seem all that impressed.

    TRACEY

    (Kevin)
    In honor of  you, Tracey
    we thought we'd buy you something lacy,
    but that might be too racy
    and Hubert would be spacey
    and then, we'd go kill Stacy
    and we'd stomp upon her head.
    
    (A.J.)
    Then we thought we'd buy you flowers.
    We thought of it for hours
    then considered Austin Powers
    and the way that Stacy cowers
    while we stomp upon her head.
    
    (Kevin)
    And then there's chocolate covered fruit
    or a blue and white pantsuit
    (A.J.)
    You'd sure as hell look cute
    as you gave the "chick" the boot
    while we stomp upon her head.
    
    (chorus--ensemble)
    Stomp upon her head
    Stomp upon her head
    Tracey Tracey Tracey Tracey
    Stomp upon her head.
    
    (Kevin)
    We'd write a song about Burl Ives
    but that would surely give you hives
    much to your surprise
    Wow, this proves we have no lives
    but we love to hear the cries
    as we stomp upon her head
    
    (Kevin)
    And then we thought we'd buy you beer
    but we can't bring that in here
    as the rules have made so clear
    (A.J.)
    we'll watch her run in fear
    before we stomp upon her head
    
    (Kevin)
    Who would have thought to buy you shoes?
    So we went to Clark's, perused.
    The pairs they had were used.
    We can't wait to see her bruised
    when we stomp upon her head.
    
    (Chorus)
    
    (A.J.)
    This is the part after the chorus
    in which I hate bikes and tourists
    and I am hit by a Ford Taurus
    Coasting gently toward us
    driven by Yeltsin (Boris)
    right outside the florist
    right outside the florist
    right outside the florist
    stomp upon her head
    stomp upon her head
    Tracey Tracey Tracey Tracey
    stomp upon her head.
    

  • "Goodbye America's Rose"

    Tasteless "song" written after the tragic plane crash which left our beloved folk-poet, John Denver, dead. I want to state, for the record, that I had nothing to do with this song. Also, I own no John Denver albums.

    Goodbye America's Rose
    A Tribute to John Denver
    
    By Nathaniel Bridge and John Denver
    (aka, AJ)
    
    The impact stopped your heart,
    had your last taste of turbulance
    when your plane was torn apart.
    You called out to our country,
    but you were falling from your plane.
    Now you've got your own wings,
    and the rubble spells out your name.
    Even though you beat your wife,
    like a rented mule in the wind,
    never fading with the sunset
    when the pain set in.
    And the shrapnel still falls here
    from your old one-engine plane;
    that engine burned out in the air;
    now your wife is free from pain.
    The Muppet shows we've lost,
    they never cramped your style.
    This torch we'll always carry
    for our nation's fallen child.
    And even though we try,
    we can't forget the tears
    from when you'd drive you car around
    after thirty seven beers.
    Goodbye American rose,
    from the bottom of the sea,
    where rest the wings of your home-made plane
    ...because you're dead.
