The Deficit Rag

Those budget gaps can be a twelve-digit drag,

I'm telling ya, that's the deficit,

They really made a mess of it,

That's the deficit rag!

Lisa S.

Say let me tell you about Lisa S.

She's that little eight-year old muckrakeress,

She caught a crook and she made him pay,

And she did it all in just one day!

That's what I would call,

Bein' on the ball!


The Krusty The Klown Show Klosing Kredits Song 

Krusty: We've had lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of fun,

        But now the time has come, to go;

        If this old clown was found dead in his bed,

        Tomorrow, I'd be in Heaven, still doing this show!

 

Flaming Moe's

When the weight of the world has got you down

And you want to end your life,

Bills to pay, a dead-end job,

And problems with the wife.

But don't throw in the tow'l,

'Cuz there's a place right down the block...

Where you can drink your misery away...

At Flaming Moe's....            (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's...)

When liquor in a mug         (Let's all go to Flaming Moe's...)

Can warm you like a hug.   (Flaming Moe's...)

And happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...

Happiness is just a Flaming Moe away...

           One, two, three, four, ...

 

Talkin' Softball

Well Mr. Burns had done it,

The power plant had won it,

With Roger Clemens clucking all the while,

Mike Scioscia's tragic illness made us smile,

While Wade Boggs lay unconscious on the barroom tile...

 

We're talkin' softball...

From Maine to San Diego.

Talkin' softball...

Mattingly and Canseco.

Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw.

Steve Sax and his run-in with the law.

We're talkin' Homer... Ozzie and the Straw.

 

We're talkin' softball...

New Orleans 

Wiggum: Long before the SuperDome,

                Where the Saints of football play,

                Lived a city that the damned called home,

                Hear their hellish roundelay...

 

Cast:   New Orleeeans...

        Home of pirates, drunks, and whores!

        New Orleeeans...

        Tacky, overpriced, souvenir stores!

        If you want to go to Hell, you should make that trip

        to the Sodom and Gomorrah on the Mississipp'!

 

        New Orleeeans...

        Stinking, rotten, vomiting, vile!

        New Orleaaans...

        New Orleeeans...

        Crummy, lousy, rancid, and rank!

 

        New Orleeeans!

 

Blanche's Song

Marge (Blanche): I thought my life would be a Mardi Gras,

                             I'm a faded southern Dame without a dime.

 

Just a Simple Paperboy

Apu (Steve): I am just a simple paperboy,

                     No romance do I seek...

                     I just wanted forty cents,

                    For my deliveries last week...

                    Will this bewitching floozy,

                    Seduce this humble newsie?

                    Oh, what's a paperboy to... 

                    Dooo?

 

Stella!

Ned (Stanley): STELLLAAAA!  STELLLAAAA!

                       Can't you hear me yella!

                       You're puttin' me through Hella!

                       Stella...  STELLLAAAA!


The Kindness of Strangers

                             on the kindness of strangers...

 

               (music begins)

          strangers...

         To pluck up your spirits, and shield you from

         dangers...

                             regret...

         You haven't met...

You're Wife Don't Understand You, but I do

Lurleen: You work all day, for some old man,

               Sweat and break your back,

               Then you go home to your castle,

               But your queen won't cut you slack.

               That's why you're losin' all your hair,

               That's why you're overweight,

               That's why you flipped your pickup truck

               Right off the interstate.

               There's a lot of bull they hand you,

               There's nothin' you can do,

               Your wife don't understand you, but I do,

               I said your wife don't understand you, but I do!

 

(the above is the version Lurleen sings at the Beer-N-Brawl;

the CD version has an extra verse somewhere:)

 

               Now you talk so tough, act so rough,

               But darling you can't hide,

               The heartache and the sadness,

               That's buried deep inside.

 

Bagged Me a Homer

Lurleen: Oh the bases were empty on the diamond of my heart,

               When the coach called me up to the plate,

               I'd been swingin', and missin', at lovin' and kissin',

               My average was point double oh eight.

               So I spit on my hands, knocked the dirt from my spikes,

               And pointed right towards centre field,

               This time I'm hitting a home run,

               This time the love is for real.

               I'll slide... I'll steal... I'll sacrifice

               A lovin' fly for you,

               I been slumping all season but now I found a reason,

               I struck on a love that is true.

               I used to play the field, 

               I used to be a roamer,

               But the season's turning 'round for me now,

               I finally bagged me a homer.

              That's right, I finally bagged me a Homer.

 

Bunk With Me Tonight

Lurleen: In this trailer, I get so cold and lonely,

               Lying there awake at night, muttering if only

               You weren't married, So I might ask you 

               To bunk with me tonight, 

               Bunk with me tonight, oh, bunk with me tonight,

               I'm asking, will you bunk with me tonight.

 

Stand By Your Manager

Lurleen: His name is Homer, he's quite a man,

               I tried to kiss him, but Homer ran.

               Sure wish I could say, that I was his,

               I hope that Marge knows, just how lucky she is.
