You can't imagine so many monkeys in the daily mail
All of them coming anonymously so they leave no trail I never thought I'd have an admirer from overseas But someone is sending me stationary filled with chimpanzees Some chimps in swimsuits, some chimps are swinging from a vine Some chimps in jackboots, some chimps that wish they could be mine Starsky and Hutch chimps, a chimp who's sitting on the can A pair of Dutch chimps who send their love from Amsterdam Another postcard with chimpanzees And every one is addressed to me If I had to guess, I'd say the monkey-sender thinks it's great He's sending me, maybe she's sending me just to see me get irate I'm losing sleep—and it's gonna be keeping me up all night I thought it was funny, but now I've got money on a monkey fight Some chimps in hard hats, chimps a-working on a chain gang Some chimps who love cats, burning rubber in a Mustang A birthday-wishing chimp, a chimp in black like a goth A goin' fishin' chimp, a British chimp in the bath Another postcard with chimpanzees And every one is addressed to me Somehow they followed me even though I packed and moved my home No matter what, they come and they come they won't leave me alone Another monkey in the mail could make me lose my mind But look at me shuffling through the stack until I finally find Some chimps in swimsuits Some chimps in Jackboots Some chimps in hard hats Some chimps who love cats I've got some shaved chimps; that's chimps devoid of any hair I've got depraved chimps dressed up in women's underwear Another postcard with chimpanzees And every one is addressed to me Every one is every one is every one is addressed to me Another postcard with chimpanzees And every one is addressed to me |

What's so maybe about
What's so maybe about What's so maybe about Katie? What's the use in hesitating? Can't you see that Katie's waiting? Just because her youth is fading Doesn't mean she's not worth dating What's so maybe about What's so mabye about What's so maybe about Katie? I don't know What the fuss is all about Just take it slow It's not like you can't live without her To and fro if you've got a shred of doubt Then it's not worth it What's so maybe about What's so mabye about What's so maybe about Katie? Can't you see her with her arms wide open? She's everything that you've been hoping for Forever's not so long, stop moping She's got a daughter and your're just not coping Do you know everyone you ever swore you'd love for life? I don't know them anymore I know their names, I'd recognize them on the street And I don't love them What's so maybe about What's so mabye about What's so maybe about Katie? |

Everything's a lie
We're all going to die Before we say goodbye Let's attack I admit it's bleak But I give it a week Until our friends the meek Give it back Is it true? Well, it's true enough, I guess Join the chorus of the second best Second best Second best What's left of you that's real? A mutated ideal With limited appeal, I suggest If winning is an art Then it's drawn us apart When you erased your heart and beat your chest Is it you? Well, it's you enough, I guess You're an angel in a see-through dress Is it true? Yes, it's true enough I guess Sometimes it's better to be second best Second best Second best Perhaps it's just as well That I still look like hell At least the world can tell us apart Is it true? Yes, it's true enough I guess Come join the chorus of the unimpressed Is it true? Yes, it's true enough I guess Sometimes it's better to be second best Second best Second best |
