Their Brains Were Small and They DiedMark Graham

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4J7-t60Z48

Intro: Dm A7 Dm A7 Dm Gm7 Dm Gm7 Gm7b5 Dm A7 Dm

Dm A7 Dm A7When I sit in contemplation of the human situation,

Dm Gm7 DmI often feel a certain sense of pride.

Gm7 FFor our achievements are many and mighty,

Dm A7 And the evidence cannot be denied.

Dm A7 Dm A7But my memory is shaken, 'cause my thoughts are always taken

Dm Gm7 DmTo a tragedy that happened long ago,

Gm7 Gm7b5When there moved through the land beings awesome and grand:

Dm A7 DmThe fabulous dinosaur.

Gm7 FThey were creatures in a manner quite reptilian,

F A7 DmIn their unique and stylish way,

Gm7 Gm7b5And their numbers could be reckoned in the millions,

Dm E7 A A7But there are zero of these heroes in the world today.

Dm A7 Dm A7They had music, art, and fashion, there was dinosauric passion,

Dm Gm7 DmAnd I think they'd be enraged and mortified

Gm7 Gm7b5That when they're mentioned today, it's only to say,

Dm A7 DmTheir brains were small and they died.

Dm A7 Dm A7Perhaps an asteroid that Mother Earth could not avoid

Dm Gm7 DmBecame the agent of the premature demise.

Gm7 F Dm A7 Well, I understand that these things can happen, so who are we to criticize?

Dm A7 Dm A7When we'll pay 'most any price to have the ultimate device

Dm Gm7 DmThat ensures the perfect global suicide,

Gm7 Gm7b5Well, I would venture instead that the humanoid head

Dm A7 DmIs where the tinier brain resides.

Gm7 FAnd when we're gone our works will start to crumble,

A7 DmUntil nothing can be found.

Gm7 Gm7b5In ten million years some other guys will stumble

Dm E7 A A7

On our fossils then some a**hole1 will begin to expound

Dm A7 Dm A7In some scientific study to his cockroach science buddies

Dm Gm7 Dm How the evidence can never be denied:

Gm7 Gm7b5They were big, dumb, and slow; they couldn't go with the flow,

Dm A7 DmTheir brains were small and they died.

Gm7 Gm7b5

(slower) Dm A7 DmTheir brains were small and they died.

Note 1: Mark Graham pronounces this to rhyme with "fossil."

The Anti-Sing-A-Long Song

(apparently by Laura Munn to a tune (not specified) by Molly & the Tinker.)

(Chorus)I will not sing along! Keep your stupid song! G D7We're the audience, it's you we're here to see! G D7You're not supposed to train us!GYou're supposed to entertain us! CSo get to work and leave me be! G D7 G

When you go out to a play, do the actors turn and say G C“Come on, everyone, together say my lines”?G D7But the bards they get away with this practice every day G C'Cause they think you people have no spines. G D7 GWell, it's time to stand and fight and defend your basic right G CTo be silent, any time you choose G D7When they rise up to begin, it's no crime and it's no sin G CTo stand up and holler “I refuse!” G D7 G

Just tell them... (Chorus)

Can a stick jock turn and say “Let's all swing my sword that way”?Can a dancer holler “Turn and shake my butt”?But the bards they all expect you to drop your self respectAnd then howl like some demented nutSee it's this big old bardic thing to say “Everybody sing!”It's supposed to show our camaraderieBut the odds are pretty strong that I'm here to sing this songWhy should you do my job for me?

Just tell me... (Chorus)

One more time! (Chorus)

Dead SkunkLoudon Wainright III

D A

Crossin' the highway late last night,

G D

He should've looked left and he should've looked right.

A

He didn't see the station wagon car,

G D

The skunk got squashed and there you are.

Chorus:

D A

You got your dead skunk in the middle of the road,

G D

Dead skunk in the middle of the road.

A

Dead skunk in the middle of the road,

G D

Stinkin' to high heaven!

Take a whiff on me, that ain't no rose,

Roll up the window and hold your nose.

You don't have to look and you don't have to see,

'Cause you can smell it in your olfactory.

Chorus

Well, you got your dead cat and you got your dead dog,

On a moonlit night, you got your dead toad frog.

You got your dead rabbit and your dead raccoon,

The blood and the guts are gonna make you swoon!

Chorus

MR. BULLWINKLE lyrics by Blind Lemming Chiffon (tune: Mr. Bojangles, Jerry Jeff Walker) C G Am I knew a moose, Bullwinkle, he did magic tricks. F G7 Did you know that? C G Am F G7 He'd say, "Hey, Rocky, watch me pull this rabbit out of my hat. F C E7 Am Nothing up my sleeve, nothing up my sleeve. D7 G Presto!" And out pops a lion! <ROAR> Am G Am G C Mr. Bullwinkle, Mr. Bullwinkle, where's the moose? Until I saw Bullwinkle I was but a child, not yet corrupt. I still recall the one about when London Bridge was falling up He saved the world, he saved the world, from Upsadaisium! Mr. Bullwinkle, Mr. Bullwinkle, where's the moose? The villains that he had to fight weren't very smart, or very tough. Like Boris and Natasha, who weren't very bad, just bad enough. He learned all he knew, yes all he knew, at Wossamatta U. Mr. Bullwinkle, Mr. Bullwinkle, where's the moose? Sometimes at night when I'm alone with my TV I see your face. There's no way Tiny Tunes or even Darkwing Duck Could take your place. Without Jay Ward, I'm getting bored. Where's the cartoons? Mr. Bullwinkle, Mr. Bullwinkle, where's the moose?

The ThingWords and Music by Charles Green, 1950

D A DAs I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day

D A DI came across a great big box a-floating in the bay

D A DI pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise

D A DI discovered a !!! right before my eyes!

D A DOh, I discovered a !!! right before my eyes.

I picked it up and went to town as happy as a kingI took it to a man I know who'll buy 'most anythingBut this is what he hollered at me when I walked in his shop“Get out of here with that !!! before I call a cop!”“Oh, get out of here with that !!! before I call a cop!”

I turned around and got right out, running for my lifeBut then I took it home with me and showed it to my wife.This is what she hollered at me when I walked in the door,“Get out of here with that !!! and don't come back no more!”“Oh, get out of here with that !!! and don't come back no more!”

I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meA hobo who was looking for a handout on the street.He said he'd take 'most any old thing; he was a desperate man.But when I showed him my !!!, he turned around and ran!But when I showed him my !!!, he turned around and ran.

I wandered on for many years, a victim of my fate,Until at last I chanced to meet St. Peter at the gate.But when I tried to take it inside, he told me where to go -“Get out of here with that !!! and take it down below!””“Oh, get out of here with that !!! and take it down below.”

The moral of this story is: if you're out on the beach,And you should see a great big box, and it's within your reach,Don't ever stop and open it up; that's my advice to you,'Cause you'll never get rid of the !!!, no matter what you do.No, you'll never get rid of the !!!, no matter what you do.
