A semi, unproduced song that's fun to hum to. The lyrics were made up the day I recorded it. It's gobblelygook created from random Newsday articles. An Emax organ sound was added later in 1991 at MVR.

lyrics

THERE'S A RUMOR SPREADIN' "ROUND

Eye yeye yeye yeye yahhhh
There's a rumors spreading' round where all the fevers grow
Ya got alga mated seals starvin' Eskimoes
It's not a pretty scene and I'll tell you why
Ya got Ayatolla beams and the evil eye that's goin' down
Yeah, the evil eye that's goin' downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Jungle babies cry - no snake to eat
Fatty let it die doin' the trick or treat
It never deed a deed for goodness sake
He always got a watch and a piece of cake for goin' down
yeah, a piece of cake just for goin' down

Now when you wanna try somthin' new
When you wanna try something made for pin heads
Wanna try something new
Reflect upon the crap you do
Gotta 'flect upon the crap you blew (in little bitty pieces)

700 Clubs to clean your hands
Just don't forget to kneel when you're at the Sands
If ya wanna draw a pair just pork the bull
Ah, Mineola snuff dressed in tiger wool that's goin' 'round
Yeah, tiger wool,
Ah, that goin' 'round

But if you wanna try somethin' new
If ya wanna try something made for pin heads
Wanna try something new
Reflect upon the crap you do
Reflect upon the crap you blew

Ok, solo!

Do what? Do what? Do what? Do what?

My baby! My baby!

Wait a minute. It's right up - your hole here. Wait a minute.

Some guy tells a story on the radio :
I put the ice in the glass you? We were paling games. We were drinking a little soda, having a good time. Aunt Mary was looking at us, smiling.

(Sure)

She said, "Be careful!" She says, "Don't dirty up the yard and don't mess up the garden." You know, 'cause she worked so hard in the garden. Ya ever know, ah, a backyard in Brooklyn without having at least a little "a-go'nah".

Hey! Heroshma! Hey- a…

JT : Look I'm positive I like to have friends around...

(cat scratching)
Ow!
