TRUE MEN DON'T KILL COYOTES


Hoo, Lord !



Well, I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse

Through the Hollywood hills

The farther west, the farther out

Yeah, that's the way I feel

Well, I dig the dirt an' I dig the dust

I barbecue my meals



Ridin' wild on a paisley dragon

Through the Hollywood hills, yeah...

Huh, Hollywood hills



Well, I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse

Through the Hollywood hills

Just don't show me anything

'cos that's the way I feel

Well, I dig the dirt an' I dig the dust

I barbecue my meals



Ridin' wild on a paisley dragon

Through the Hollywood hills, yeah...

Huh, Hollywood hills



Passion dripping from the coyote's eyes

He can taste his blood

An' blood never lies

Pale face die



True men don't kill coyotes

True men don't kill coyotes



Well, I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse

Through the Hollywood hills

The farther west, the farther out

Yeah, that's the way I feel

Well, I dig the dirt an' I dig the dust

I barbecue my meals



Ridin' wild on a paisley dragon

Through the Hollywood hills, yeah...

Huh, Hollywood hills



Passion dripping from the coyote's eyes

He can taste his blood

An' blood never lies

Pale face die



True men don't kill coyotes

True men don't...



Well, I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse

BABY APPEAL



On the city streets, I got the tunes in my pocket

I'll play the Chili Pepper so the public can rock

Excuse me mister, won't you hear my thought?

I play in a band, yeah, we're called the Red Hots

While I'm away, boy, I'm afraid not

I've got no time to flick and talk

But this baby rocked out on the spot

She was a shakin' and a kickin' and that did a bit of tot

Her pop said no, but I just couldn't stop

The killer had a case of tod the rock



But here's a funky fact that I know is real,

The Red Hots have baby appeal

They dig a funky speil, they'll make some speil

I say the Peppers have baby appeal

The funk mobile is the one we wheel

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal

We serve those tots in the funk mobile

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal



We stop the fire, we quench the heat

We groove the buttocks walking out in the street

'cos that's when in the store when who do we meet?

On a hop skip jump up a baby beat

She was a shakin' and a kickin' those itty bitty feet

The next thing you know was she got out of her bleat

Five thousand babies walkin' out in the street

Well, that's a serious sight for me and golly gee wizz!

I just can't tell ya how much we did

Rockin' right out for those itty bitty girls, right out



But here's a funky fact that I know is real,

The Red Hots have baby appeal

They dig a funky speil, they'll make some speil

I say the Peppers have baby appeal

The funk mobile is the one we wheel

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal

We serve those tots in the funk mobile

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal, so get down!



Got the tunes in my pocket...

Baby appeal...

Rock out!...

Play the chili, play the chili, play the chili...

Yes, we're called the Red...Hots...

BUCKLE DOWN



Hah!

On the ice

No holdin'

My soul

I want men

Not mice

No stoppin'

My throw



Hah!

Get this!

Reds are

Back bills

Work

Or play ball

Or just turn me loose



I know what's fight, in life, you better buckle down

Don't give up your fight, in life, you better buckle down

Two days with might, in life, you better buckle down

Leave dreams tonight, in life, you better buckle down

'Cos I know what's right!



(REPEAT EVERYTHING)



I know, I know, I know what's right!

I know, I know, I know what's right!

I know, I know, I know what's right!

I know, I know, I know what's right!



GET UP AND JUMP


Get up and jump, get up and jump, get up, get up, get up and jump

Jump on up

Just jump a jump a jump a jump a jump around

Jump the day away

Jump all over town

Jump a boy

Jump a girl

Jump a rope

Jump for joy

Just don't stop jumpin'

Keep your heart muscle pumpin'

Hillel be jumpin' on that little baby frumpkin

Say what, You got a pumpkin in your pants?



When you're just standing or sitting still

Think about the frogs gettin' a thrill

Take a little lesson from the kangaroos

Don't you know they're jumpin' foos, jump you!



Jump a nun

Jump a Jack

Jump for fun

Jump back

How's about us jumpin' in the sack?

And now, it's time for a jump attack



Get up and jump (X8)



Jam Bob, Jim Bob, Slim Bob Boogie

To the tune of slima Billy

Lookin' like you're mighty silly

WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME



Why don't you love me like you used to do?

How come you treat me like a worn out shue

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

So why don't you love me like you used to do?



Why don't you spot me like you used to do?

When you whisper sweet nothings like you used to do

I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through

So why don't you love me like you used to do?



Why don't you be the way you used to be?

How come you fight so many fights with me

Somebody changed, so lemme give you a clue

Why don't you love me like you used to do?



Why don't you say the things you used to say?

How come you treat me like a piece of clay

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

So why don't you love me like you used to do?



You can't keep a lovin' and a huggin' and a kissin' and I don't know why...

We don't get near or further closer land of country mouths



I don't love like a huggin' and a kissin' and I don't know why...

We don't get near or further closer land of country mouths

Take the ball...

GREEN HEAVEN



About this planet, there is something I know

There's a very big difference between above and below

A friend foe, or bro, leave your body on the floor

Let your spirit fly away like the soul of a crow



Here, above land, man has laid his plan

And yes, it does include the Ku Klux Klan

We got a government so twisted and bent

Bombs, tanks and guns is how our money is spent

We got V.D., heroin, greed and prostitution

Tension, aggravation, L. Ron Hubbard solution

Not to mention hard-core chemical pollution

If you think you're just away, you're in a mental institution

And that's a heart felt shame

'Cos everyone's crazy, everyone's the same

So, why should only Larry, Curly and Moe be to blame?



Time now to take you to a different place

Where peace lovin' whales flow through liquid outer space

A groovin' and a gliddin' as graceful as lace

A never losing touch with the ocean's embrace

Diviner than the dolphin, that there is none

'Cause dolphins just-a like to have a lot of fun

No one tells 'em how their life is run

And no one points at them with a gun

They have a lot of love for every living creature

The smile of a dolphin is a built in feature

They be movin' in schools but everyone's the teacher

Someday mister dolphin, I know I'm go'n to meet you



Back to the land of the police man

Where he does whatever he says he can

Including hating you because you're a Jew

Or beating black ass, that's nothing new

Trigger happy cops, they just like to brawl

They use guns, clubs, gas, but that's not all

They got puke, ridden prisons and sex sick jails

Fuck the poor, if you're rich you pay the bail

So support your police, support your local wars

That's the way to open economic doors

Why do we do it? 'Cause the president's a whore

We assume the position to sell the ammunition

What the fuck? It's the american tradition

Along with going fishin' apple pies in the kitchen

Isn't it bitchin' seeing dead men in ditches?





MOMMY WHERE'S DADDY


Mommy, where's daddy?

Mommy, where's daddy?



Right here, girl...

Sweet thing, you look so sad

Cheer up, don't you know your dad is bad

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Oh, dad



There ain't no problem I can't face, 'cos

Your daddy's got a bigger bag of tricks

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Oh, dad



Mommy, where's daddy?

Mommy, where's daddy?



Come on, sit on your daddy's lap 'cos

I'm the one who pats your back

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Oh, dad



Lemme see now where to begin

Lemme start by tuckin' you in

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Oh, dad



Mommy, where's daddy?



OUT IN L.A.



We're all a bunch of brothers livin' in a cool way

Along with six million others in this place called L.A.



L.A. is the place, sets my mind ablaze

For me, it's a race through a cotton pickin' maze



The town makes me jump, it's got a bunch of bad chicks

Well sure, it's got some chumps but I still get my kicks

My body loves to scrump when I lick the ripe pick

Like a come on a thumb

Poppin' hump, hump, hump, pop out



The action never stops, I'm as wild as can be

'Cos I'm shooting for the top and my best friend is Flea

Oom Chucka Willy knew the balls to pop

But he never met the Tree so he never be-bopped out hop!



Antwan the Swan, from the pretty fish pond

Was a bad mother jumper, you could tell he was strong

He war a cold paisley jacket and a hellified hat

And between his legs was a sweat young lass



He threw a hundred women up against the wall

And he swore to fear that he'd love 'em all

By the time he got to ninety nine, he had to stop

Because that's when he thought that he heard a phone



Last night and the night before, I heard a

Fop outside, then I came in doors

Freak out!



Now that I told you a little something about the Flea

A little something about the Tree, a little something about me

I can't leave you hangin' but my man Shermzy, he swings the yang, he bangs the yang

And now, it's time to hear him do his playin', you better be burning Sherman!



We're all a bunch of brothers livin' in a cool way

Along with six million others in this place called L.A.



Step out!



POLICE HELICOPTER



Aw!


Police helicopter shot the sky

Police helicopter landin' on my eye



Yeah!



Police helicopter takes a nose-dive

Police helicopter, he ain't shy



Yeah!
