lyrics

We were headed back from Abalam
Singin’ that Black Betty, bam-a-lam
Thought a rest stop might just be the digs
For gentlemen to tighten up their wigs
So the driver, little Zeke, picked us out a park bench seat
But he stayed off the grass, son

Suddenly, Zeke started freaking out
Thought he was the one who’d gone without
Seems some guy was standing over there,
a janitor who didn’t seem to care
Someone said, man, what’s the gripe
He really doesn’t look the type
To stay off the grass, son

We just went about our thing and then
We prepared to hit the road again
Here’s the punchline you’ve been waiting for
While walking out the rest stop restroom door
Same old janitor walked past, he said his first and said his last
He said, stay off the grass, son

GET RUDE!

Dan O'Connell is an old friend and long time collaborator, but before I'd even met "Danimal", he was recording some parody, novelty and good ol' pop songs all on his lonesome. Rubberstamp Records

Songs From Your Face
by Jeffy

Jeffy makes four-trackin' fun. Each cassette he sells has a one-of-a-kind collage for art. Rubberstamp Records
