Cheese sandwich, cheese sandwich
From the hills of Texas
Cheese sandwich, cheese sandwich
Nothing rhymes with Texas.
Except for Lexus, I drive a Lexus,
'Cause I made my fortune in oil.
Cheese sandwich, cheese sandwich
From the hills of Texas

Flat Alexa

Stanley had a good idea for getting' 'round the world
To see his friends and distant shores; any place he'd like to go
For the price of postage airmail or a flat-rate envelope
And the negative social implications of having only two dimensions
Stanley mailed himself to all the places in his dreams.
And one day Grandpa opened up the mailbox
And laughed out loud for joy at what he'd found
'Cause folded up with love inside of a business envelope
Was his darling sweet Alexa
The one who called him Grandpa
And just like Stanley she'd mailed herself to him
CHORUS
Flat Alexa
Oh the places that you'll see
Who knows where you'll be before you're done
And neither snow nor rain nor dark of night will slow you down, you know
You learn by going where you go
I know you'll stay the path although
The going sometimes might be slow
And though
The winds of chance may blow you far away
Godspeed, Alexa.
Hey, what's it like to see the world, to be a postal pioneer
To sail to new horizons in a paper sailing ship
To meet a million people
To be stamped "Par Avion"
To be photographed and talked about all for forty-seven cents a shot
To live the big adventure the rest of us have only dreamed
Yeah, Jason and his Argonauts shoulda taken a tip from you
And Sinbad and Ulysses woulda had a better time
iIf they'd only thought to lick a stamp and send themselves away
They wouldn't have to use their swords the could've made it home ok
And life for them woulda been just that much sweeter.
CHORUS

I Don't Want To Grow Up

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
that they'd never want
The only thing to live for
Is today...
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
Leaving' me with the sitter all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb
On Grand Street
When I see the 5 o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the heck did I get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up

Lost Boy

There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for awhile
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely, " and ever since that day
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe
Believe in him and believe in me
Together we will fly away in a cloud of green
To your beautiful destiny
As we soared above the town that never loved me
I realized I finally had a family
Soon enough we reached Neverland
Peacefully my feet hit the sand
And ever since that day
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain Hook, you are my perfect story book
Neverland, I love you so
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last
Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Wendy Darling
Even Captain Hook, you are my perfect story book
Neverland, I love you so
You are now my home sweet home
Forever a lost boy at last
And for always I will say
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy, " they say to me
Away from all of reality
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

That baby's got
A burnin' fire
There's just one thing
To pacify her
It's not a cookie
It's not squished peas
She just needs some rock-n-roll it's got her beggin' please
She needs the drums
She needs the beat
She needs to feel the bass
In her car seat
She needs her mommy
Can't live without her
But still she wants to hear the rock-n-roll played louder
She wants Whiz Bang
The baby wants Whiz Bang
She wants to rock to Whiz Bang
Whiz Bang tonight
Mrs. Hansen
She's our teacher
She's not on Facebook
It's hard to reach her
She wants us quiet
Like little mousies
Until she hears us rockin' then she lets the class get rowdy
She wants Whiz Bang
The teacher's teaching Whiz Bang
The class is rockin' to Whiz Bang
Whiz Bang tonight
Who's that bangin'
On our door
It's the people
Live down one floor
They hear the drums
That shake their ceiling
They ask us if we'll turn it up and now I got the feeling
They love Whiz Bang
The neighbors want Whiz Bang
They came upstairs for Whiz Bang
Whiz Bang tonight
