KILL YOUR OWN CHICKEN First of all boss thanks for hearing me out Let me get straight to the point boss ain't no doubt Business is off here at the Chicken Shack You had to let me go that's the cold hard facts But I ain't hear to bitch boss let me make that clear I'm here to make a pitch boss to jumpstart my entrepreneurial career Yeah we got all kinds of competition right on this very street Some got boneless breasts some got all white meat Some got thirteen different kinds of barbecue sauce Some got family night three dollars off Some got stuff so good it's finger-licking But here's my idea boss and it's really kicking Are you ready? Kill your own chicken Wait wait wait I know it sounds kinda strange but this is just the kinda idea this is just the kinda change Gonna get people to sit up and pay attention And lookey here boss I didn't even mention We ain't talking about the dining experience alone This is entertainment boss this is two birds with one stone See we take that kids jungle gym out in the back and we Turn it into a kinda chicken-chasing track Give the birds a headstart - maybe ten seconds or so When they make the first turn we let the people go Charge 'em once for the plate once for admission We hire some cheerleaders get 'em high-kicking What do you say boss? Give me a 'K' boss! I see you're enraptured I see you're struck dumb But hold on to your hat there's more to come See by killing them birds in our backyard boss We shorten the chain of supply plus we lower our costs And here's one more thing gonna make the competition panic We keep it all in house that makes us 100% organic Yeah I already got the patent that's how pumped I am And out in the back seat of my car I got my cousin's videocam We'll make a video boss put it up online The thing goes viral - people'll lose their minds! Now - what do you say boss? You in this with me? Cause if you ain't - I'm going down the street to KFC Come on boss the clock is ticking Sing it with me now... Kill Your Own Chicken K-I-double L Y-O-U-R O-W-N Chicken!!!

Metal Men 03:00
METAL MEN I go down to Westfield and back again And on the side of my truck it says Metal Men Clean copper gets you $3.10 a pound my friend These are good times for Metal Men Pardon me ma'am I don't mean to stare But I couldn't help but notice your dishwasher there Sitting all alone out on the curb well I'll give it the kind of home it deserves Take it down to Westfield for scrap my friend And on the side of my truck it says Metal Men Clean copper's up to $3.12 a pound now friends These are good times for Metal Men I went to school I got a college degree Nobody wanted nothing to do with me But since I got this truck I'm good to go Yeah I just signed up for HBO I'm driving south on 5 and 10 check out the truck lady Metal Men Clean copper gets you $3.15 now friends These are good times for Metal Men Times are tough lady times are hard The whole world is falling apart I'm pleased as punch to be able to say This metal man has found a way Yeah I been working night and day To make the broken pieces pay I go down to Westfield And on the side of my truck Metal Men Clean copper gets you $3.19 now friends These are good times for Metal Men You got tin? Aluminum? Stick it out baby... here I come...

I WALK THE LINE I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time I keep the ends out for the ties that bind Because you're mine I find it very very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day's through Yes I'll admit I'm a fool for you Because you're mine You got a way to keep me on your side You give me cause for love I can't hide I know for you I'd try and turn the tide Because you're mine I walk the line As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind day and night The happiness we've known proves I'm right Because you're mine I... walk the line... (Here's looking at you, John)

Easy Money 04:07
EASY MONEY Well these time's getting hard for you it's true You been wondering what to do me too Well I read a spread in the paper yesterday We got some high rollers headed our way There's gonna be easy money Easy money all around You got to believe me honey Easy money is coming to town Now it ain't like a lottery you'll see It's a opportunity for you and me I just can't wait to get my blackjack visor on We gonna squeeze you into that cocktail waitress uniform And grab that easy money Easy money flying around We might as well dream big honey Cause easy money is coming to town The doors are opening The wheel is starting to spin Let's be the first ones in So that we can win all that easy money We're gonna be standing side by side Just telling that man to let it ride - let it ride!
