I was 8-finger tapping on my dulcimer hammer
With my hardcore band “The Van Ruin Disaster”
Distrust the filibust from out there to hereafter
Gonna legislate a punk rock reactor
Chester A, (what a boss), check out his monocle
Pork chop mustache and a big wheel bicycle
Rudy Hayes, (on the take), do you “Remember the Maine”
Bust up the strike with a 9-string bass
They’ll put our faces on the seven dollar bill ‘cause we’re the
League of Extraordinary Presidents
We toast to excess and opulence
You see, our method is strictly expedient
To get our way we spare no expense
The League, of Extraordinary Presidents
We boast no historical precedent
You say, that we are profane and we’re decadent
We write the wrongs of an antiquated government
Got a tip from a Whig thanks to Millard-d Fillmore
He rocks a bigger harem than the family Gilmore
Green skinned men start a Mexican turf war
Got to represent fulfill the oath that we all swore
We made a time machine and invented the internet
cold steel fusion assemble the Aztec
build a pyramid to stop the martian invasion
Hail gentlemen preserve the birth of a nation
no need to panic in the gold medallion standard with the
League of Extraordinary Presidents
Yeah bring me all dem Harrisons
Mais oui! we are especially extravagant
to-night we’re running up the deficit
The League, of Extraordinary Presidents
we fight for American continent
no way, are they descending from the firmament
dance of death on the slopes of the mountain
The League of Extraordinary Aztecs
We drive a late-model Pontiac
The League of Extraordinary Aztecs
We eat pancakes with ipecac
The League of Extraordinary Aztecs
Our dance move are volcanic
The League of Extraordinary Aztecs
Cholula and Chapultepec
We fight! Extra terrestrial tyranny!
Manifest our very own destiny!
We fight! For the future of humanity!
Defend the Statue of the Liberty!

I know you want me, do you need me, Officer Jenny
I’ve got a lead but you can catch me, did ya miss me
I hear your feet your lonely heartbeat, Officer Jenny
So close that maybe you can touch me, will you touch me?
What will it take for you t’arrest me, Officer Jenny
Your light is shining where I’m hiding, you found me
How many stars are next to my name, Officer Jenny
I can’t keep up with your surveilling, yeah
Hey Jenny let’s play a game
I’m an enemy of your fascist state
Predict my movement from your database
Do you like, do you like, what you see? Hey Jenny?
When I’m with you I feel so lucky, Officer Jenny
Our little room interrogating, you and me
Lie in my cell so solitary, Officer Jenny
So close but why won’t you touch me, awww
Hey Jenny, it’s not too late
I can keep your secrets from your head of state
Heartstrings are bound by leather and chains
Do you like, do you like, what you see,
remanded and I’m waiting you can see me through your one-way mirror please don’t ever break your your lovely gaze, Jenny!
Oh they’re all watching I can’t turn the porch light on
Oh and every click and keystroke records every impression,
I’m so careful I’m aware of all my heightened perception
and the very air is thick with doubt and lies and deception,
What is real they only know me by my forged identity
They move in silence up the street I fear my lost indemnity
one false move and my stupidity will surely betray me
I only scream when I’m asleep, I cry, I weep, for you!
Officer Jenny?
Officer Jenny!

So if you’re blue, feeling down on your luck
The beer is warm, and the women won’t talk
Just come with me we’re gonna shake things up
And have ourselves some fun!
Just grab some friends and a couple of beers
Some cool cats, we don’t want any squares,
We’ll dance away all our worries and fears
Until we see the sun!
We may not have MDs, but we’ve got just the thing,
To pick your spirits up and make you dance and sing!
So throw those meds away because we’re pretty sure,
If you suffer from the blues then we’ve got the cure!
We’ll turn the music up, give in to the beat
Because it’s all that’s real, only thing you need,
Just let it flow through you, never gonna stop
So let’s party all night and skank till we drop!
Now say you break out in an ugly rash,
You have a fever and you seize and thrash,
Those other doctors they just want your cash,
It’s really not complex
Just say goodbye to your hospital bills,
No need for vaccines or a cocktail of pills,
A dose of ska can cure all of your ills,
With minor side effects!
So if you’re feeling faint, ‘cause you ate Ebola
Or say you fibrillate and then your AIDS flares up,
Ignore those med-school geeks, because they’re probably wrong,
You can trust us we’re doctors we prescribe this song!
We’ll turn the music up, give in to the beat
Because it’s all that’s real, only thing you need,
Just let it flow through you, never gonna stop
So let’s party all night and skank till we drop!
(Bridge)
We’ll turn the music up and give in to the beat
Because it’s all that’s real, the only thing you need
Just leave your doubts behind, and join us on the floor
We’ll dance the night away, and then skank some more!
And now your heart beats time it’s finally sinking in,
The music takes control from underneath your skin
Just let it flow through you, it’s never gonna stop
So let’s party all night and skank till we drop!

100% Viking (live)

I love my viking but she fills my heart with fright
breast-plated warrior with courage I just might
Take her to a dinner at which time I could recite
An epic blood soaked saga sure ‘nuff to delight her
She is my Waterloo, my heart she’s conquering
I’d be Fernando if she’d be my Dancing Queen
blue eyed barbarian her beams are gonna blind me
one of us is crying, and one is just a Viking!
She’s Just a Viking! x3
and when my viking girl she goes to bed at night
washes her flaxen hair and hugs her herring tight
she dreams of tennis pros and dragons taking flight
but not the likes of me or others lacking height naah
I know how Rick felt when he set eyes on Ilse
I drain my goblet and think thoughts of gay Paris
as time goes by my heart you stir that melody
you played it for her, Drew, come on you can play it for me!
Why don’t you hear my call, Viking?
Can’t you see me at all, Viking?
Am I nothing at all, Viking?
Here’s the vi-king
Listen to her song...
Here’s the vi-king
Won’t you sing along...
Yes I’m a vi-king,
I’m mighty-mighty, just looting and plundering!
Yes I’m a vi-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-i-king,
With a sword and spear, all men will fear, fall in love with me
(yo yo yo Viking!, go go go Viking! etc)
all hail my viking girl all hail my valkyrie
she stole my heart away and melted down the key
and forged a golden spear with magic properties
with which she speared a heart that don’t belong to me
What If I died in your arms, Viking
Would you take me to Valhalla, Viking?
In death I will have your love!
outro:
She’s a Viking to the end...

Verse 1
Puffy sleeves and a tiara to match
Don't be fooled cause she'll kick you in the s*****
Combat boots strutting the street
(1 2 3)You know she'll never miss a beat
Not punk rock prom queen
She's the boss of her own scene
She's always getting so rowdy in pink
Doesn't give a s*** what you think
Chorus
Punk rock prom queen
Post Chorus
Verse 2
He's talking like such a jerk
(hey girl)
All his crappy lines won't work
(you’re punk like Avril Lavigne!)
This riot girl don't need no king
(you’re so hot when you spit on me)
Not your stupid little plaything
(won’t you wear my class ring)
No pussy grabbing misogyny
(I respect women)
Lives for punk, fights to be free
(that’s just locker room talk)
She's the boss of her own scene
(you don’t have to elbow me)
Her face is soft but her streak is mean
(hey wait, ow!)

I know you’re sneaking in my bed
You’re leaving a scent oh
Kill my love, don’t think I know, I know
Where you hide the bones
Only alive by Orange Juice and Drugs
And even your love
Is too thin to wipe away the blood
But leaves a deep cut
You never need a cause for your effect
Too intense for intent
When you play prevent for your defense
You can hide your accent
Maybe I’m just too naive, I believe
I’ll have a drink and
Show your teeth make another scene
Like here comes the milkman
Hey! You only keep it because I want it, We both think that it’s worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all
You can keep it cause I don’t want it, We all know it’s not worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all
Blue grey eye, pearl white teeth
Oh hey, a picture of your diamond
What you think is permanent and real,
Is an event horizon
How did you think that this was going to end?
Forever home and a white fence?
You’ll never quell the voices in your head
And here comes the Milkman
Hey! You only keep it because I want it, We both think that it’s worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all
You can keep it cause I don’t want it, We all know it’s not worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all
How long can we put on
a show, the show
While timbers hide the rocks
Below, below
Dredging the past with net
In tow, in tow
With ashes for the wind
to blow, will blow
How does a house become
a home, this home
Is falling fallow to
The crow, the crows
Caught in your trap I’m a
Doe, John Doe
You keep I go you reap I sow
I know, I know, I know!
Hey! You only keep it because I want it, We both think that it’s worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can fake it you can have it all
You can keep it cause I don’t want it, We all know it’s not worth it
It’s ok! It’s only real if you really feel it, you can take it you can have it all

no time to wait, a price to pay
mother’s back in the assembly
Repression out, the boy parade
This Maiden city, tripping on roots that rot the past
virtue in bed and pride intact
flour sugar a wick and white, gas
the crime will fit the punishment
We’re throwing kisses from the top of the flats
whoa oh, the red hand in the stars
whoa oh, light up the armored cars
three green fields behind, and the dark river blocking our way
half life, half town with half your name
woah oh, Trouble graduate today
V2:
this Saturday, matinee,
I don’t know I’ve lost the plot I’m afraid
they keep the order, we keep the border
the board is set but do we really want to play
to yet another stalemate
bishop and pawn we go the same, way
the queen will move nothing to prove
we flip the board we get our peace today
whoa oh, but for this the wedge mislaid,
whoa oh, you can’t stay the falling blade
Don’t turn away, don’t run from me now, take my hand,
ah they’ll shoot you in the back my friend
whoa oh, step up to the barricade
whoa oh, take my hand, I’ll take you to a place
whoa oh, where the sun shines bright and clear on the shortest day
woah oh, on the gables stand your face undimmed by time
woah oh, take my hand

Crimea river back to port
Our battleship is all off course
The Red is fading from the star
I’m sick to death of caviar
Rasput’ the Moscow in the Mule,
The Fabergé has lost the jewel
(proshchaniye Sevastopol) - прощание Севастополь (trans. “Goodbye, Sevastopol”)
We’ll sing to you ‘cause
It’s a Volga display from Kiev to Calais
With the Jolly Russian of the Waves
Crimean ocean back to port
My share of vodka must be short
Check out that meddling Vladimir
He’s dancing shirtless on a bear
We play American Roulette
We love Alanis Morrissette
You are not sickle of us yet
You wanna bet
It’s a Volga display from Kiev to Bombay
With the Jolly Russian of the Waves
Crimea launch to Outer space
We’re packing phasers just in case
Sailing through your Tranquility
We fight with solidarity
Who ate the cosmic Stroganoff
I’m blaming David Hasselhoff
The race is close, Sputnik and tuck
But we’ll try our luck

I keep a list of names at the tip of my pretty little tongue
Before I go to sleep I close my eyes and whisper one by one
I’m not like other girls
I see a different world
hairshirt and blood and bone
you walk the long way home
the way you look at me
you shake down my belief
it’s hanging from a tree
gently swinging
you call it chemistry
it’s more like sorcery
It’s time to cut the scene
turn house lights down to candlelight
my list will drop by one this very night
I’ll sell my soul to see you now
I keep your secrets
silently gliding to your open door with the moon on my wing
the pretty one you see before you now your name I softly sing
a glance with raised brow
nothing to hide now
you think you are free
you never will be
the latch is undone
it’s time to have fun
a shooting star but
you won’t save me
Hey little riding hood
whisper my name to me
so deep into the wood
a voice so soft and sweet
come on and take my hand
I bite without a bark
My what big eyes you have
So I can find you in the dark
blue sash white dress
I want to look into your eyes
For the last time
When I’m cutting me I’m cutting you

You think your pic’s so nice but it
isn't really you just a duck face lie
your selfie stick, stupid phone
in the middle of the crowd but you’re all alone
swipe to the left, you’ve become obsessed
with your profile page and things that you text
you laugh and make comments so anonymous
but you fail to realize that you're just one of them
Come on now you're better than that
Woah tinder girl you just don't get it
It doesn't matter how you Snap
Chat tinder girl you just don't get it
Pull your head out of your app
Woah tinder girl you just don't get it
This is why we can’t interact
Woah tinder girl
You got a thousand friends on the internet
But nine-ninety-nine you’ve just never met
Phone held tight it’s a parasite
Show that you care with a trite thumbs-up like
Swipe to the right, life is not a web site
You can’t see the stars through the satellites
And you lost yourself in your twitter feed
A side of you I wish I didn't read
Come on now you're better than that
Woah tinder girl you just don't get it
Can’t you see that you’re full of cra-
-ap, tinder girl you just don't get it
Pull your head out of your app
Woah tinder girl you just don't get it

You traded reality for ignorant bliss
Oh you wear a pretty dress but nobody sees ya (repeat)

Good morning doc
I’m really hoping you can help me
I feel so old & I’ve got these aching knees
My Job’s a bore
Can’t write another TPS report
Sometimes it feels like I’m in prison on the 15th floor
I’ve got a case of the
Mondays so severe that nothing puts a dent in the misery, I’m just so
tired of this cubicle lifestyle & a tie so tight that I can’t breathe, It’s giving me
Migraines hypertension and a clinical sanity deficiency doctor, doctor I’m
Getting nervous now what could the answer be?
I’ve seen your case about a million times you gotta
loosen up that tie and take some time to unwind
It’s toxic for the soul going nine to five, but the
antidote is no more than the healing vibes of the
best dancing music that you’ll ever find it’s spelled
S-K-A(SKA), it’s gonna blow your mind, with the
rhythm and the horns and the skankin in time
I know what you need, you need a healthy dose of ska
Doctor I’m just not sure
if for this illness music is the cure
How do you know that ska can make my problems go away
It’s all in the beat
And when you start kickin up your feet
All your worries and woes will be in full retreat
Here’s the prescription that I’m writing that will rid you of the blues, that came
along with an office lifestyle so please follow it through and through, just ten
minutes a day of skankin will surely boost your immunity to all the
Symptoms that onset with a working week
I’ve seen your case about a million times you gotta
loosen up that tie and take some time to unwind
It’s toxic for the soul going nine to five, but the
antidote is no more than the healing vibes of the
best dancing music that you’ll ever find it’s spelled
S-K-A(SKA), it’s gonna blow your mind, with the
rhythm and the horns and the skankin in time
I know what you need, you need a Healthy Dose of Drew
Healthy Dose of PUNK ROCK!!!!!

A Rum Called Song (live)
04:39

If you ever feel blue or have nothing to do,
Or you maybe just want to cut loose…
Well now I have the cure, if you take it you’re sure
To forget all that’s troubling you…
Now I know just what you’re thinking so please know that I agree,
When you’re off imbibing alcohol you gotta drink responsibly!
With that in mind I think it’s fine to have a glass or three or four,
So long as you don’t wake up naked on someone else’s floor!
So take a shot, and leave your troubles here,
Just loosen up, ‘cause you’ve got nothing left to fear
Come sail with Me and the Captain and all the crew,
To the tropical islands of Malibu
Watch out for the Kraken, he’ll hammer you
So let’s get wasted!
Standing on the beach with my toes in the sand,
The sun on my face, a mojito in hand
I think I’m gonna drink until I can’t stand
So let’s all drink some rum! (rum! rum!)
Let’s all drink some rum!
It’s the perfect drink for pirates and the best when at the bar,
Sometimes I’ll have a glass at home and then I’ll drive my car,
It’s also great at funerals and baby showers too,
In church, at work, or at the mall, and at the petting zoo!
Another shot, just leave your worries here,
So bottoms up, because inebriation’s near
And come sail with Me and the Captain and all the crew,
To the tropical islands of Malibu
Watch out for the Kraken, he’ll hammer you
So let’s get wasted!
Sitting on the beach with my ass in the sand,
A grin on my face and a handle in hand
I think I’m gonna drink until I can’t stand
So let’s all drink some rum! (rum! rum!)
Let’s all drink some rum! (rum! rum!)
Let’s all drink some rum!
And if you think you’ve had too much I tell you never fear,
I’ve found the cure for drunkenness and I’ve got some right here
Just take a swig and you’ll feel great, or better yet have two,
The cure for any malady, there’s nothing rum can’t do
The litany is endless but I’ll try and name a few:
Drinking swilling chugging burning, such a glorious brew
Use it for antiseptic aftershave cologne and perfume too
Cleaning healing swabbing wooing
Courage-building fighting screwing
Bathing Cooking and pre-gaming
Gaming raving after-gaming
Sleeping singing slurring skanking
Sanitizing sharing shanking
Buying selling trading raiding
Sodomizing lubricating
Texting sexting whoring boating
Driving crashing teaching voting!!
So one last shot, just leave your clothing here,
Just don’t throw up, and it’ll all be crystal clear
And come sail with
Me and the Captain and all the crew,
To the tropical islands of Malibu
Watch out for the Kraken, he’ll hammer you
So let’s get wasted!
Lying on the beach with my head in the sand,
Drool on my face and my liver in hand
Who came up with this idiot plan
So let’s all drink some rum! (rum! rum!)
Let’s all drink some rum! (rum! rum!)
Let’s all drink some rum!

will you come and dance the waltz this summer evening
arm in arm my Fraulein fair
this will be gay highlight of fifteen eighteen
spinning round the village square
and we dance now
with a chaste bow
can you feel how
magic fills all the air
don’t you wish this evening could go on forever
as you dance without a care
there’s no need to stop no need for cool refreshment
while my hoof beat keeps up the time
as you dance you’re won-der-ing just where the time went
midnight bells will peal and chime
but your legs burn
and your feet hurt
yet you still turn
to the rhythm sublime
something deep inside now makes you pause for warning
is this madness or divine
why am I still dancing here I really can’t go on
he stopped playing hours ago but I still hear the song
lyra in the west and softly daylight breaking
still you dance my wonderful girl, your
eyes are wild with fear and how your limbs are shaking
you’re my precious jeweled pearl
in a trance now
with a furrowed brow
come with me, frau
there’s no fear in my world
once the light inside your eyes is gone forever
you’ll be mine and I’ll be yours
This is like a dream to me I can’t see day or night
his song beckons me to fly and gratefully to die, die, die
(my darling)
lovingly I lift your lifeless maiden body
to the seventh circle of hell
with a solemn vow forever I do wed thee
to the tolling funeral bell
tiny dancing
it’s enchanting
I am your queen / you are my queen
for all eternity
shuffle off this mortal coil now I possess you
dancing to the end of the world

You and I, and a little toy shop
Buy a bag of balloons with the money we've got
Set them free at the break of dawn
'Til one by one, they were gone
Back at base, bugs in the software
Flash the message, "Some thing's out there"
Floating in the summer sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic lads, it's a red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine Decision Street
Ninety-nine ministers meet
To worry, worry, super-scurry
Call the troops out in a hurry
This is what we've waiting for
This is it boys, this is war
The President is on the line
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
99 Kriegsminister
Streichholz und benzinkanister
Hielten sich fuer schlaue leute
Witterten schon fette beute
Riefen: krieg und wollten macht
Mann, wer haette das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 luftballons
Ninety-nine dreams I have had
Every one a red balloon
Now it's all over and I'm standin' pretty
In this dust that was a city
If I could find a souvenir
Just to prove the world was here
And here is a red balloon
I think of you and let it go
Ninety-nine red balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic lads, it's a red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
Ninety-nine red balloons go by
(N) Ninety-nine knights of the air
Riding super high-tech jet fighters
Everyone's a super hero
Everyone's a Captain Kirk
With orders to identify,
to clarify and classify
Scrambling in the summer sky
As ninety-nine red balloons go by
Ninety-nine red balloons go by

Euphoria (live)

Every waking moment feels like a dream,
like when you dream that you’re awake,
All the silent sounds, wash up on shifting ground,
like massive waves about to break.
And as I stumble on, my night gives way to dawn, and my reality caves in,
Replaced by endless streams, of all my wildest dreams,
that merely hid beneath my skin.
The room is spinning, colors swimming
Everything I ever thought I knew is turning upside-down,
Vision fading, isolating
Lost in seas of blurring fantasies that make me want to, drown...
Whooooaaaa!! I’m flying high tonight
Soooooooooo!! Come and see the light,
Burning, blinding, flashing inside my mind…
But that’s alright, I’m probably fine,
In fact I think I’m getting high.
With newly opened eyes I see through all the lies,
that masqueraded through the haze,
With the façade now gone I stumble on and on
my wonder leaves me in a daze.
And like a dying man I drink in all I can, with an unquenchable desire,
I want to see it all, give in to every call that set my senses all on fire.
The room is spinning, colors swimming
Everything I ever thought I knew is turning upside-down,
Vision fading, isolating
lost in seas of blurring fantasies that make me want to, drown...
Whooooaaaa!! I’m flying high tonight
Soooooooooo!! So come and see the light,
Burning, blinding, flashing inside my mind…
But that’s alright, I’m probably fine,
In fact I think I’m getting high.
(solo)
Whooooaaaa!! I’m flying high tonight
Soooooooooo!! So come and see the light,
Burning, blinding, flashing inside my mind…
But that’s alright, I’m probably fine,
In fact I think I’m getting high.
Who-oh-oh-oh-oh-oha!!

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.

Starlight on Friday night Black glasses hipster tight
Surrender to our favorite song
Big scarf, skinny tie Plaid shirt fits just right
Perfection never could go wrong
Maybe it is just me but I look at you and think that
There’s only two who feel this way
There’s no one else but you, and My love for you is true, while
Forever now this song will play
But the bajno is on the fritz, the
Bass drum lost its kick, the Singer’s wail is but a moan
What will you do when the music’s all done
Where will you go when it’s time to go home
When your friends are no fun,
And the money’s all gone, you know that
You will always find a home right in a song
Then Zig broke up the band, and You let go of my hand, our
Musical spell was snapped in two
Through haze of cigarettes, the Crushing weight of regret, now
There’s nothing left for us to do
And though your friend said yes, I Feel that I must confess, with
her I still felt all alone
And if I never sleep, then Tomorrow’s lies could keep, and
My cover never would be blown
Cause I did not say what I meant
My love is permanent, It lives forever in our song
What will you do when the music’s all done
Where will you go when it’s time to go home
When the silence has won,
And your love is all gone, you know that
You will always find a home right in a song
(slow into trumpet fantasy section)
I had a dream last night, we Were back at the Starlight, and
Our band they played our favorite song la-la-la-la-laaaa
With one last thing to feel, it
felt so much more than real, and I held you close we sang along
la-la-la-laaaaa
Though I know things will not be the same, when
I think of this refrain, I Know that I am already home
What will you do when the music’s all done
Where will you go when it’s time to go home
When your friends are no fun,
And the money’s all gone, you know that
You will always find a home right in a song
