i didn't care
adlibbed by Rusty Spell

i didn't care about your man... toucan sam, doing all he can to bring me down, i didn't care...

size 28 jeans
adlibbed by Rusty Spell

i met her, and she answered better than me to leave her upon herself, but she only made me back in another point of view before i met my baby.

i don't regret her, and i'm meeting her this way, cause what i want to say, that i got no regrets at all. in spite of what may fall, in spite of what i'm going through. in spite of what i've been through, in spite of all the change.

skipping through the flowers into the daisy chain, skipping there for hours, making up new names, decided i wanted to be sid, and she wants to be francine. she's trying on my blue jeans.

and they fit her, they fit her better than me. she looked so good in my jeans. you just don't know how that does, the way they hung around her, i killed them in a fit of rage, my jeans, that day.

hambone
adlibbed by Rusty Spell

tap on it. it takes a hambone to get you down bone, man, it takes a hambone to get you down bone, man, it takes a hambone to get you down down down down down down down down down...

when i saw you lying in the bed the other day i said to your mom, "well, what's his deal today?" she said you're sick, i said, "well, so am i." i said, "well, so are you." i said, "you want me to to cry, cry for my man? cause i ain't gonna do it, ma'am. you know it's the truth and you know..."

hey, ma'am, i don't know what your son's up to right now, but i know what i'm up to, and i'm feeling pretty good, and you notice that our ages aren't too different, and so since your son is sick and since the hambone's got him down, maybe we could... well, you know what we could do.

once you were walking to my house, then i told you you looked like a mouse. you crawled around with your little tail all bunched up. i was going to jail. you were 16 years old that day...

jail bait, i never thought it would happen to me. and i didn't care... i didn't care, no i didn't care.

i waited two years. i didn't really wait two years. but i waited to the public two years. two years. i waited to go public with you. i loved you that much, baby, even though i was 22. you were 16, beautiful, and mine. ringo starr. my voice cracked.

valentine's day
adlibbed by Rusty Spell

if you want to go and take my time away from me and you just take that time and you take it right away from me and then you put it back into my hands and let me wear it like a watch and if that's what you want to do, then we'll do it too.

when you want to take me out to the mall for valentine's day and then if you find that you find something that you want to buy for me there, well that's just fine and i'll give you my money to get it with because i know you're poor, you're poorer than me, even which is a lot, that's saying a lot because i don't have any money at all and so if you want to buy me something for me for valentine's day with my own money at the mall you're gonna have to just borrow it from your mother, cause she's dead she died a long time ago, which is why you want to be here with me, because your mother died so long ago, and your father, well, your father wasn't that good of a man anyway, and i'm not that good of a man, but i'm a better man than your father and so i buy you gifts and so i like receiving gifts and i like receiving them better when i know that you didn't even have to spend your own money, but you can spend mine, and when you spend mine when i have it, but i don't have any right now, so i'll go out and get a job and i'll be a good man.

i'll get a job for you, baby, so can buy me some valentine's gifts, baby, on this valentine's day. i love you on this valentine's day. i love you on this day.

adlibbed by Rusty Spell

if anyone doesn't think that this is a war anymore, then tell them to turn on the tv set and see what's going on. oh yeah, just watch the news on any given day and see what's going on, and you'll know that it's a war. so you got to get on out of your living room. and you got to get busy doing what you know to do.

cause it's a war... are you part of this war? i'm a part of this war. i'm going to get my armor on. i can't take any more. i'm ready to fight in the war, fight in this war. i'm ready to fight in this war.

dead father
adlibbed by Rusty Spell

code red, father's dead, he fell on his head. code red, my father's dead.

mama said as she came here with me, mama said he fell on his head.

"we work the hardest to be the smartest," said a once little group of two guys who fell into success. their father's dead, he died, and they're not brothers, but they might as well be brothers, because their names both start with the same letter, and end with the same letter, and have the same letters in the middle.

track 4
adlibbed by Rusty Spell

it doesn't really matter what i'm going to say within the next five minutes because it's been said anyway by somebody else. somebody else said it. but then somebody said that already and you're thinking "god, that's so old and lame because somebody said that so many times," and there's nothing new under the sun and that was written several thousand years ago.

oh, but it's true and it's true and so there's nothing left to do. you don't care because you skipped to track 4 and you played track 4 was all you played and then you took it back to the store. someone made a whole album and you just listened to track 4. someone put there guts into that album, they went into the studio and they recorded there guts in that album, and all you did is took your player and put it on and you clicked it to track four and no more, and then they released another song on the radio five months later, and "why did i do that?" i'm wasting my life only listening to track 4. track 4.

no one thanked me for my trouble, when i went to do it double, when i did it twice as good as anybody else. no on thanked me for my trouble, when i did it, did it double, did it twice as fast and twice as well as that guy over there. over there, with his long, hippy hair. it's longer than my wife's. i'm going to cut it with a knife.

jamocha almond fudge on thursday, nilla nilla nilla friday, then on saturday i get a sunday, too. then on sunday go to church, and on monday go to work, and on tuesday, tuesday i'm in love with you. hump-day, hump-day.

no one thanked me for my trouble, when they told me to retire, that i would get the thankless job of the week. no one thanked me for my trouble, i don't care, i don't mind, baby. baby, yeah. i'm in love, yeah.

my baby, she's the prettiest thing i've ever seen. my baby, she's got everything i need, it seems to me right now, it's true right now, i know it's not, but it seems good right now. hyperboles only work if you believe them, if you believe in them, like i believe in her.
