Failing Kansas

Beware! Property of Perry E. Smith! Beware!

Well, what are you gonna do, Floyd?

Hey, Perry, pass me a match

Well, what are you gonna do, Floyd?

Hey, Perry, pass me a match
Here's a riddle
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
The riddle is :
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
What's the similarity between
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
A trip to the bathroom
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
And a trip to the cemetery?
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
Give up? Give up
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
When you gotta go, you gotta go?

Perry, Dad, and their Husky Dog
OOM OOM
Perry, Dad, and their Husky Dog
OOM OOM OOM
Perry and Dad panning for gold
OOM OOM
Perry and Dad panning for gold
OOM OOM OOM

Hey, Perry, pass me a match
Here's a riddle
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
The riddle is :
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
What's the similarity between
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
A trip to the bathroom
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
And a trip to the cemetery?
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
Give up? Give up
Hey, Perry, pass me a match
When you gotta go, you gotta go?

Perry, Dad, and their Husky Dog
OOM OOM
Perry, Dad, and their Husky Dog
OOM OOM OOM
Perry and Dad panning for gold
OOM OOM
Perry and Dad panning for gold
OOM OOM OOM

Bubbles in my blood
Tan with coppertone
Bubbles in my blood
Tan with coppertone
Bubbles in my blood
Tan with coppertone
Bubbles in my blood
Tan with coppertone

You're my baby girl
A normal
My little sweetheart
A normal
You're my baby girl
Just a game. Don't you like games?
My little sweetheart
Just a game. Don't you like games?

Oh, come let us adore Him
Oh, come let us adore Him
Oh, come let us adore Him
Oh

I know the form
Rabbit fever
The secret is: People are dumb
Saturday
I know the form
November fourteenth
The secret is: People are dumb
Rabbit fever
I Know the form
Saturday
The secret is: People are dumb
November fourteenth


Apache, El Passo, Corpus Christi
Hotel Nuevo Waldorf
Santillo, Sweetwater, Acapulco
Cherokee Motel
Omaha, Stillwater, Tallahassee
Arrowhead Motel
Miami, Arrowhead, San Diego
Tenville Junction
Somerset, Cherokee, Hotel Simone
Motel Simone, Dallas, Needles

Every April flights of parrots
Fly overhead, red and green
Green and tangerine
I see them fly, I hear them high
Singing parrots bringing April spring

I know the form
Rabbit fever
The secret is: People are dumb
Saturday
I know the form
November fourteenth
The secret is: People are dumb
Rabbit fever
I Know the form

The secret is: People are dumb

I guess you know why we're here
I guess you realise
I guess you know why we're here
We wouldn't have come
I guess you know why we're here
All the way to Nevada
I guess you know why we're here
Just to chat with a couple of
I guess you know why we're here
Two-bit check chiselers

Would we, Dick?
What?
Come this far to talk
I can't think of
About a bunch of checks
Any other reason
Tell me Dick, Have you
Ever heard of the Clutter
Whoa, now. Hold on here
Murder case?
I'm no goddamn killer

And almost perfect

Living witness!
Living witness! There can't be!
There can't be!
Living witness! There can't be!
Living witness!
Living witness! There can't be!
There can't be!
Living witness! There can't be!

The Sunflower State
Living witness
No witnesses
I cried my eyes out
A living witness
A cinch
The Sunflower State
Living witness
The perfect score
I cried my eyes out
A living witness
No witnesses
The Sunflower State
Living witness
A cinch
I cried my eyes out
A living witness
The perfect score
