Well it doesn't take a genius to realise Being good at school can be cool Put on your lab coats boffins rule! There's nothing wrong with putting on your thinking cap  Though your social skills may be crap You can impress with these cool facts   Oh science facts are useful That's why they teach 'em to ya Your teachers wouldn't screw ya Don't be a fool The science school is cool   Well you may not see a scientist do Rock and Roll But they understand the mineral properties of rock As well as the physics of roll   Oh science facts are useful That's why they teach 'em to ya Your teachers wouldn't screw ya Don't be a fool The science school is cool   Oh science facts are useful Oh science facts are useful Oh science facts are useful Oh science facts are useful Oh science facts are useful That's why they teach 'em to ya Your teachers wouldn't screw ya Don't be a fool The science school is cool

My newborn Crowe I'll watch you grow Tell you what I know My newborn Crowe   I'll treat you good Do the things a big Crowe would Falling short of spewing in your mouth I'll treat you good   And when you're old enough I'll throw you out of the tree Metaphorically So you can be like me So you can   Fly Away from me Fly  Away from me Fly   Oh sorry I woke you up   Since you're awake Eat this steak Let's get you on solids as fast as we can Stay ahead of the other man   And if the other guy's in your way Treat him mercilessly Hang him from a high tree Unless the other guy's me Then you'd better   Fly Away from me Fly  Away from me Run and hide   Oh stop crying!   You're a Crowe Let 'em know That if you can't be a nice guy Be the greatest actor in the world   Which you can't be 'Cause the greatest actor is me You'd better watch your back son You'd better turn round and run   And when you're thirteen You're out of the house You're gone I'm over ya It's nothing personal son It's just my triskaidekaphobia Well then you'd better   Fly

Saniglove 04:39
Now here's the tale of a very sad case He was a contestant in the rat race But he just didn't understand the rules What a fool!   He always called himself the Toilet Paper Man But not surprisingly people didn't understand 'Cause he wasn't made of toilet paper He just manufactured toilet paper   He'll never forget the day he blew it Making that ad with Lleyton Hewitt And he had what he thought was a good idea Oh dear!   He always called himself the Toilet Paper Man He thought that maybe Lleyton could have used his hand It would have helped him out of his predicament So he ran home and made a blueprint for his big idea   Sani-Glove! Sani-Glove! Heavens above It's Sani-Glove! You will love Sani-Glove!   It's durable it's practical it's Sani As in "-tary"   The toilet paper companies were curious But when they realised they were furious The Sani-Glove had the power to bring them down To the ground!   The Sani-Glove could save millions of trees And with a special attachment it could wax bikinis He was hunted down by the toilet paper companies They smashed up all his blueprints and they killed his family   Then they made his brother retarded And the inventor of the Sani-Glove was me!   Sani-Glove Sani-Glove  When push comes to shove It was Sani-Glove   Now I'm just a lone busker And if you don't count this monkey And my retarded brother   Curse you Sani-Glove!   We couldn't really think of a secret track to do So now I'm just making this one up I hope it doesn't make you spew

Boggyman 04:30
I'll tell the tale of frogs and snails And puppydogs' tails Of sticks and stones and broken bones And guns and rusty nails All alone  All alone Just a travelin' Barbie doll salesman  Sets out for New Orleans On a dog-drawn wagon The only dog-drawn wagon ever seen Drivin' through the marshes  And the fog is thick Thicker than a pencil Much thicker than a pencil   And the coach slowed down And the wheels gummed up And the dog gummed up as well   And our innocent Barbie salesman Sank into that boggy hell   All alone All alone   No-one came to find him How'd he stay alive? Made the harsh decision He had to eat the Barbies to survive   And every night he came out Of the bog that was his home A filthy apparition He would rise out of the foam Boggy Man Boogy Man Bogeyman   He had one objective One thing on his mind Dacking helpless women Every helpless woman he could find   Word soon got about Of the Boggy Man's dacking thing So to keep their pants up The women had to tie them up with string   Even today somehow we know So our undies have a little bow To protect us from dacking of the Boggy Man Boggy Man I'll tell the tale of frogs and snails And puppy-dogs' tails Of sticks and stones and broken bones And guns and rusty nails All alone  All alone

Josephine 03:16
Josephine I have been Pretty keen Saw you in A magazine Josephine   I just knew It was you Who could do All the things I need you to? It was you   Walkin' down the esplanade On Sunday morning Night Afternoon   Bought a bottle of wine And went to Luna Park The doctor Watch them film "Secret Life of Us"   Then we sang our song It was a happy tune Doo-doo-doo toot-toot-toot-toot-toot-toot-toot Spirits of the forest can you hear me? And then Jackie had to pick up the furniture   I would ask you to marry me It if wasn't for my allergy Let me give you an analogy If I was a fish and you were algae   Of course I'd need to be a fish that was allergic To the type of algae in this analogy   And that's why you can't marry me Josephine   Josephine I have touched Seen Heard   With my crutch Theme Word   And my Dutch Clean Bird   Baby if you were from Staffordshire And then I couldn't have you here But Josephine you're not a terrier 'Cause all my friends'd laugh at yer   Of course you'd need to be the kind of dog That everyone approved of And then I could have you here And that's why we can't marry yer   Josephine Josephine

It's seven-thirty kids He's on again He'll make you laugh And make you smile And teach you about blood and bile A creature of non-specified origin Jizmo!   I'm a happy-going Easy-larking Johnny-come-early   Together with my human friend Stevo the Surly!   Jizmo's got something special for ya His friends from art school Owe him a favour   This Isn't the highest note we can sing!   It's seven-thirty-five So it's time to go I hope you've enjoyed the Jizmo Show We've learnt and had some fun Well no we haven't   Jizmo!

We've ignored him in the past Other than the thousands Of jokes we've made about him Now his time has come at last We never knew what he could do   How were we to know Underneath his coloured shirts And sunny disposition Lurked a creature quite disturbing? Perturbing Unnerving? Matt Shirving-ton I wanna meet chicks I'm tired of shovelling dirt I wanna have adventures save the universe And meet lots of chicks   I'm sick of this dirt I wanna just clean it all up I wanna find my father fly a spaceship And meet lots of chicks   He's now called Enormous Kev And he's been through A horrid transformation With a helmet on his head A floral one to match his shirt Kev your time has come at last Once we were humble farmers Now an underground cleaning gang

Six years we've been together now Just three larrikins knocking about Remember when we broke into the police station And tried to steal all the cops? That was a bad idea But we were naive   I thought those times would never change I thought that we'd be shooting fruit launchers forever But now we've grown older And we're more comfortable in our skin All kinds of grown-up feelings Start slowly creeping in Every day Every day without you seems a little bit colder Every day But when I think about you I'm a little bit bolder Maybe the time has come to run away   I can't stop thinking of you There ain't no nothing We can't love each other through So late at night when heaven explodes And volcanoes start to burn I realise the naked truth That it's for you for whom I yearn   Oh Gatesy will you be mine? Scoddy yes I will!   Every day Every day without you seems a little bit colder Every day When I think about you I'm a little bit bolder Maybe the time has come to run away To run away!

They say that if you try you'll achieve your dreams But who will pay the price in between? You'd hope that being family was enough But circumstances can be tough You have to choose And one of you must lose   On the world of Transformers The man Transformers are in charge You never hear about The lady Transformers   But they do exist and they often come In pairs not come They exist! Exist exist exist exist!   The sisters' names Are Weapontron and Kate And through this game Their love has turned to hate   When you're a Transformer You will see that some things never change They might just re-arrange Into a car A truck A plane   But if you're Weapontron and Kate You might not have so much luck You might not turn into a truck How does a Transformer get ahead When the thing they turn into is fairy bread? Weapontron and Kate had to find a skill Because they couldn't fight or kill And their transformations Weren't that much to see   But they had photographic memory And lots of mental energy And so they entered A Transformer spelling bee Which caused sibling rivalry   When you're a Transformer You will see that some things never change They might just re-arrange Into a car A truck A plane   But if you're Weapontron and Kate You might not have so much luck You might not turn into a truck How does a Transformer get ahead When the thing they turn into is fairy bread?

Kevin Bacon 05:31
If it is true that There's just six degrees of me Why am I so lonely? I drift from town to town Nomadically   Nobody wants me 'Cause fame is so fickle If this town's a burger Then I am the pickle   Such a shame that I got arrested For wearing an obscene T-shirt All it said was "Kiss Me Then Pork Me" It's just 'cause my name is Kevin Bacon Kevin Bacon It's a joke I'm makin' But they didn't get it And I'm sittin' here in gaol Doin' the hand-spider movement   I had to bunk up with a former politician I use that term rather liberally Then Pauline busted some rhymes for me   You feelin' like you failed Now ya sittin' in gaol The only thing you have for a toilet is a pail   But Kevin stop dancin' And listen to me I'm Pauline Hanson I'll get ya out of here gotta listen to my plan son   Kevin Bacon Kevin Bacon It's a joke I'm makin' Get it? So I jumped on the thing That looked just like a camel Mixed with a deer or a pony I rode off into the sunset with my alpaca I was no longer alone-y It's such a shame that I got arrested  For wearing an obscene T-shirt All it said was "Kiss Me Then Pork Me" It's just 'cause my name is Kevin Bacon I'm not fakin' I'm making a statement I'm Kevin Bacon!

Here's Wally 04:18
Sometimes I feel Like nobody notices me Lost in a crowd And shouting out loud Come find me I don't want to come across Bitter and dramatic But every crowd I'm lost in Seems so thematic   It's always engineers Or elephants or rodeos Or space-themed idgits I would have thought I'd stood out In a crowd of lesbian midgets   It's always where Where Where Where's Wally? I just can't bear Where Where Where's Wally?   But it's not fair 'Cause I'm right there And you just stare   One time in my life I'd like to hear Here's Wally!   Everybody says my look Is quite distinctive Picking me out in a crowd Should be instinctive My frustration It is never-ending Wearing all this red and white And still I blend in   Who would ever have imagined That I'd be dressed the same As everyone at a Beauty Pageant?   It's always Where Where's Wally? I just can't bear Where Where Where's Wally?   But it's not fair 'Cause I'm right there And you just stare One time in my life I'd like to hear Here's Wally!   Sometimes I dream of a place Where I could fly to I'm sick and tired of everyone Dressing like I do What's the point of us being Wally When everyone out-Wallys us? Maybe I should get some new clothes Bulk up Get a tan Lose the glasses Neaten up the bikini line By means of electrolysis   And they'll say There There There There's Wally! He's got no hair! But there There There's Wally!   And they'll say There there's Wally! Yes they'll say There there's Wally! Yes they'll say There there there there's Wally! Yes they'll say There there there there Here's Wally!
