SLEEVE NOTES:
You were born in the 60’s. We made a war with Vietnamies. We love LSD. We died. Easily. Can we just say C’est la Vie? So what! Say what! For your pwn sake. Do you have a headache or heartbreak. Are you made or broken by the birthday cake. You may be slow on the uptake! I pour pot in the birthyday cake. So what! Say what! For my own sake. Watch out yo! Here I come yo! I’m gonna change to a rattle snake turn up the TV! Do you agree? I’, talking turkey. Take it from me. I’m gonna show my heart for my dove. But it’s moldy mom, isn’t it? CAUTION: Filling is Hot Know Your Chicken 16 years ago, one day I was walking down the street I was cruising in Brooklyn You know what I’m saying? Something was cooking But, wasn’t yet a chicken There was a man Selling chicks in a box He said, “2 for 1, but 3 for 2” I said, “That’s not bad – here’s money for you” One was magenta, the other was blue I KNOW MY CHICKEN YOU GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHICKEN One day, the blue one went away The other grew up fuckin’ well She was noisy every night I had always chicken-bite Then I met a lover One night, she made me dinner Licking finger, I wondered Where she got the chicken I KNOW MY CHICKEN YOU GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHICKEN Spare the rod and spoil the chick Before you go and shit a brick I KNOW MY CHICKEN YOU GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHICKEN She went to college to study anatomy I followed her father’s butchery We got 2 babies, Isn’t it cool? One is Magenta, the other is Blue I KNOW MY CHICKEN YOU GOT TO KNOW YOUR CHICKEN Beef Jerky My weight is 300 pounds My favorite is beef jerky I’m a vagabond, I’m a vagabond My mom says, “You are kinky!” Who cares? I don’t care A horse’s ass is better than yours Lie down here, baby Just relax…honey My baby horse is Jennifer What a beefy hip! She has a fine coat of fur What shiny hair! Who cares? I don’t care A horse’s ass is better than yours Let’s eat carrots together until…
