Now listen here children I'm gonna tell you a tale 'Bout that nasty ol' jenkem Make your mind all stale You might think Jenkem won't get me 'Til ya wind up dead News on the TV Now everybody Wanna have their fun Hanky panky all night To the rising sun But I tell you what Ain't no fun to me Sniffin' that jenkem 'Til you can't even see It makes your eyes all wild And your brain all slow Your nose all nasty And your teeth all mold And your hair fall out And your blood go cold And your heart stop beatin' And your skin like a toad 'Til the police find you Out dead on the road All from sniffin' that jenkem Should've heard what I told If you see someone sneakin' Out by the latrine Reach for for your gun If you know what I mean 'Cause they're ten time worse Than any cocaine fiend The jenkem already hell Just send them back where they been You don't need a house Out Larchmont Road By the country club Where the rich folks go You'll always be happy Just long as you know The jenkem's nothin' but trouble No matter where you go

Shamokin' Dam Woman (free) 00:26
I got me a woman Down smokin' dam She let me kiss her cheek And hold her hand You can always ask me Wherever I am I'll tell you my hearts In smokin' dam Come next spring We got a wedding planned She'll be my smokin' dam wife And I'll be her smokin' dam man

Old Hatchet Face Flynn Was a son of a gun Meanest damn lawyer Under the sun Say he wouldn't leave the court Until he won His clients all loved him Called him number one But when I was a boy Daddy told me, son: Don't be no damn weasel Try'n sell me no fun Rainbow Tibbets Was a business man Held the whole dang town In the palm his hand But when the tax man came To get his money down Ol' Tibbets paid fair Ain't No messn' aroun' He said, "My pappy used to tell me When he was around, Don't be no damn weasel Always playin' the clown." Oh Papaaaa!! Papa didn't raise no weasel When the good lord painted me Upon the divine easel Weren't no whiskers or tail Cause I ain't no weasel Nah if ya ax my ex-wife She'll tell ya a tale 'Bout lyin' and cheatin' And faults and fails While she pickin' her teeth With my coffin nails But when she said "I do" Behind that wedding vale With her hair so soft And her skin so pale And her smile so sweet With her polished nails I never guess she a weasel Claws, teeth and tail

Zebulon Brockway built him a jail Settin' right up on Elmira Hill 1800 men be sittin' there still Thinkin' on they crimes and the people they've killed Wasting away in the ultra max Livin' every day just watching your back Can't close your eyes, can't relax Can't get the warden up offa your back So think long and hard 'Fore you wave that gun Or you be rottin' in jail Or livin' on the run Yeah you better think twice 'Fore you wave that knife Or it's bricks and bars For 25 to life You hear the train whistle wail A high lonesome sound An wish that you was on it Wherever it's bound But try as you might And do what you will You still be stuck On Elmira Hill

It's time to go and I'm so depressed And I'm going to spend the rest of the week in bed Until the next... NSFW The show is through and it breaks my heart 'cause I just can't stand to be apart From Brian and Justin and NSFW Oh, I'd rather... die in a fire Then spend a single moment without Brian Brushwood Oh, I'd rather be dipped in honey and fed to a big ant pile Then do without Justin Robert Young for even a little while Oh, NSF...W... I love you. Oh, NSF...W... I love you.
