What the monkey see, the monkey do
Monkey see. Monkey do.
I’m tryin’ to figger if it’s true
Oh, Mamma help me
Trying to see if it’s true
Trying to figger if you
Trying to see
If you’re a monkey
If you’re a monkey or monkey imposter
Monkey? Imposter?
Monkey or the monkey imposter?

LYRICS
Pop polka dot
Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
It’s tiny
Itsy bitsy
Pop polka dot
Not
You’ve gotta dot your i’s and cross your t’s
Especially
If you’re at the bottom of the bin
Again and again and again
Pop polka dot
Especially
If you’re varmint kin
Again and again and again
It’s tiny
It might seem miniscule
to you all
but to us
it’s worth puttin’ up the fuss
Yeah, put up the fuss
Pop polka dot
It’s the Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
I ask why
You say why not
The dream is not?
Why not…
You might as well be drooling in snot
That’s why not
And, then just when you think you can do it again
You find out not
You’re just a pop polka dot
Not
Dot
Pop polka dot

When heaven and earth collide
… hope I’m along for the ride

Maybe we can get it to stay that way

Not swallowed…
Not swallowed by the shadows
By the riff-raff of who knows
Not swallowed
Not follow, hollo, hollow, wallow
Out of the shadow
Hello Apollo — God
Thank God for the light
Alright? All right!
Thanks, God… for the light

LYRICS
If the thing you like the most about this time of year
Are how tipsy people get after a dose of Christmas cheer
Here, hear, hear!
Punch drunk (I thunk punch drunk I thunk…)
Hit in the head with thoughts of love
Punch drunk (I thunk punch drunk I thunk…)
Hit in the heart with the light from above
Oh ya know I hate the debate of Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays
Religion is blind when it comes to being kind and how it saves in so many ways
Rays, rays, raise!
Get knocked out of the place where there’s any space in the race for hate
Even Scrooge shed the stooge when he saw his fate… it’s not too late
Unburden the weight
Please don’t wait

Heading down upbeat street
Leaving *down* on the concrete
Heading down upbeat street
Uplifting any from defeat
Join in the parade
Humanity aid
The trick is not being a self righteous pig
While doing the happy dance jig
Down de do de do de
It’s my duty
Responsibility
Glee
The path to happy
Hoping we meet
On upbeat street
Hoping to meet
On upbeat street

It goes in one ear
And right in the other
Both ears hear
Slightly different than one another
A simple gift
A pan to the left
A pan to the right
Bringing light to third eye sight
Experimenting
With sound fermenting
Pushing buttons and turning knobs
For a good sound job
A sound sound job
A solid sound

LYRICS
Were you dreaming you were screaming
Calling as your falling
But, nothing coming though your lips was ever really forming
A silent scream
It was just a dream
Were you dreaming you were screaming
Reeling from the seeming
As you’re trying not to be the one that is dying
A silent scream
It was just a dream
Were you dreaming you were screaming
Flailing as your sailing
Obscene! I thought you couldn’t die in a dream
Taking over this consciousness stream
To a conscientious dream
It Was Just a Dream Part 3.mp3

Just as I thought I was starting to see
The wind blew some reality
Could it be the conspiracy is in me?
Ahhh… conspiracy taking over me
Maybe their motive isn’t that dirty
Through transparency see more clearly
The conspiracy could all be in me
Why not be conspiracy free?

LYRICS
Jonah in an ocean swale
Swallowed by a giant whale
Sound fishy to you
Yeah… me, too
“Just spit him out!”
It’s been three long days
And three long nights
I’ve realized my ways
When it’s right to fight
Flee… no not me!
Just spit me free
Can’t flee from the presence of the Lord
Can’t flee from the essence of the Lord
No sense unless in the presence of the Lord
Commanded by God to go to the city of Nineveh to prophesy against it “for their great wickedness is come up before me,” Jonah instead seeks to flee from “the presence of the Lord” by going to Jaffa and sailing to Tarshish, which, geographically, is in the opposite direction. A huge storm arises and the sailors, realizing this is no ordinary storm, cast lots and discover that Jonah is to blame. Jonah admits this and states that if he is thrown overboard, the storm will cease. The sailors try to dump as much cargo as possible before giving up, but feel forced to throw him overboard, at which point the sea calms. The sailors then offer sacrifices to God. Jonah is miraculously saved by being swallowed by a large fish where he spends three days and three nights. While in the great fish, Jonah prays to God in his affliction and commits to thanksgiving and to paying what he has vowed. God commands the fish to spew Jonah out.

Quoted in all Religions Of The Book
Jonah, Jonas or Younis (Hebrew: יוֹנָה, Modern Yona Tiberian Yônā ; dove; Arabic: يونس Yūnus, Yūnis or يونان Yūnān ; Latin: Ionas) is the name given in the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) to a prophet of the northern kingdom of Israel in about the 8th century BC. He is the eponymous central character in the Book of Jonah, famous for being swallowed by a fish or a whale, depending on translation. The Biblical story of Jonah is repeated, with a few notable differences, in the Qur’an.

LYRICS
Giddy up
To the divvy up
Let’s see
If you keep all
For we
The fare share
Is in there
The order’s not that tall
Will you keep it all?
Plenty
More than enough
A pretty penny
Doesn’t have to be this tough
