Lyrics to "Seven Sins, Seven Dwarfs" These are from the hand-written lyric sheets and may not exactly match the recorded versions. ========== Pride I sought to make myself a name In the deepest darks of Africa My partner, Rick, and I sought game I stumbled, said "don't laugh, Rick, un- less you have got your own way home" He didn't, so he shut up quick We sought fruitlessly where beasts might roam Thought native guides might do the trick We are the hunters of the Serengeti plain Hunting for the animals, although they're on the wane We haven't seen a single one since we got off the train To whom do we complain? We found some local natives, three, Who seemed to worship elephants Some others worshipped privacy Our cell phones were a fell offense We found this bunch soon after that These ones held the lion sacred They gamely showed us other game It turned out that they liked their steak red As summer shifted to an end We went out to climb a track Our guides said, "wait, do not ascend" A score of lions came drifting back We asked, while we let our hearts slow How they'd avoided that close call They answer "Who here doesn't know The pride goes before the Fall?" ========== Happy The sun is shining The sun is shining I am happy The sun is shining The sun is shining I am happy The rain is falling The rain is falling I am happy My girlfriend dumped me My girlfriend dumped me I am happy My car is crashing My car is crashing I am happy I'm in a coma I'm in a coma I am happy I'm being buried I'm being buried I am happy The worms are feasting The worms are feasting I am happy The sun is shining The sun is shining I am happy ========== Greed The jewelled egg seemed easy Waiting for me in the nest The painting in the gallery Was all alone, who took the rest? The ivory torch was swiftly gained Descending down along a rope The coffin was too large to take Without a prayer I had no hope The sceptre was inside the coffin Waiting to be waved The pot of gold at rainbow's end Offered everything I'd craved I took the platinum bar without delay And then I went to hell The crystal skull I gained by making Use of candle, book, and bell I found myself inside a maze Of twisty passages all alike And long I roamed inside a maze Of twisty passages all alike A bag of coins beside a skeleton Turned despair into delight But still I wandered through a maze Of twisty passages all alike The silver chalice came to me When I finally killed the thief Who'd found the canary inside the egg _After_ I'd restored--good grief! The emerald came from the buoy When it finally came in reach The scarab was a pretty thing I found while digging up the beach The crystal trident waited 'til I'd figured out the mirror's scam The trunk of jewels was my reward For trying to shut down the dam The jade figurine was mine to claim Once the bat had hit the road The sapphire bracelet was no trouble Once I'd learned not to explode The diamond formed mechanically With basket saving me from grue The bauble from the bird I picked up Last, because I had no clue Fourty-four lines about nineteen treasures ========== Sneezy I think I got the flu From you I'm feeling quite unwell Like hell Don't call me a deceiver I really have a fever It's true I think I got the flu from you I think I got the grippe This trip My temperature is high I'll die Don't say that that is alright Please try to be polite Not flip I think I got the grippe this trip I was there for you Every day that you were sick I gave you many options And let you take your pick Now I thought that maybe You would make me chicken soup But you're it looks as though You've flown the coop Not a nice thing to do I think I got the flu That's why I'm feeling blue I think I got the flu From you ========== Gluttony Mr. Goodbar, Krackel, Kit Kat, Milky Way, Mounds, Butterfinger, M&Ms, Nerds, Good & Plenty, Junior Mints, Nutrageous, Skittles, Starburst, Jelly Belly, Milk Duds, Almond Joy, Mars, Bit O' Honey, Pixie Stix, Twix, Twizzler, Zagnut, Tootsie Roll, Jawbreaker, Smarties, Mentos, Mary Jane, One Hundred Grand, Clark, Sugar Daddy, Red Hots, Circus Peanuts, Hot Tamales, Gummi Bears, Dove, Caramello, Lemonheads, Dots, Rolos, Pay Day, Nestle Crunch, Heath, SweeTarts, Snickers, Hershey's Special Dark, Oh Henry! Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ========== Sleepy Turn off the computer, it's time to go to bed Brush my teeth, turn out the light, try to rest my head My body's tired--I want to rest--but I cannot sleep Thinking what to say to you before we get toodeep Counting all the problems, I wish that they were sheep But they're not My mind is getting hazy, my breaths are getting slow My thoughts begin to wander in a final pre-dream show I recollect the first few days we both thought were terrific The messages you sent to me, you were quite prolific Thinking now of where things stand, I wish that was soporific But it's not Remember all the evenings when The sandman was your guest Don't think of times you couldn't sleep Think about the rest ========== Lust A woman sitting at the bar She seems alone If she went to my car I'd throw her a bone But I won't say that to her face I know how that line blows Instead I say that she should grace My floor with her clothes But she just laughs And not with me I'm a loser in lust, I can never win Every night I go bust, I can't seem to sin I see this girl with her girlfriend It's party night She'll like it when I lend My rod of lordly might But I'm not so much a geek To say that blatantly I say I've got a lucky streak I'll show her privately But they just laugh And no with me Oh, I'm so said, I'm an unforgiveable loser I never score, I suck, I'm a beggar not a chooser But begging also turns them off, I'm doomed eternally The only use this ever serves is so that I can pee ========== Envy I wish that I could be A star up in the sky Full of burning passion Never have to die Hiding in the daytime Just come out at night Offering some guidance To those following my light I wish that I were Socrates A zillion years ago A learned man, respected by People who should know Brave enough to keep on talking When you should shut up I wish that I had led that life I wish I'd shared that cup I wish that I was Maryland One of the first states Oblivious, hospitable ANd known for my crime rates I'd lose a chunk to politics And say "don't tread on me" Offer mountains, beaches, fields That's what I want to be
