Lick And Promise Lyrics
Johnny come lately on a Saturday night Singin' how de do Backstreet a boogie in the house of delight Where they steal the show The money come sour but the ladies are sweet It's a love affair Whole place rockin' people stompin' their feet A when the gang's all there

He was short and fat, and rode out of the West
With a Mogen David on his silver vest.
He was mean and nasty right clear through,
Which was kinda weird, 'cause he was yellow too.
They called him Irving.
Big Irving.
Big, short Irving.
Big, short, fat Irving.
The hun
He came from the old Bar Mitzvah spread,
With a 10-gallon yarmulke on his head.* [see below]
He always followed his mother's wishes,
Even on the range he used two sets of dishes.
Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sissy Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
A hundred and forty-one could draw faster than he,
But Irving was looking for one forty-three.
Walked into Sol's Saloon like a man insane,
And ordered three fingers of two cents plain.
Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big sport Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.

[The following l
the version available on Dr. Demento's 20th Anniversary Collection.]
One day Bad Max happened into town.
His aim was to shoot fat Irving down.
Bad Max said, "Draw, and draw right now!"
And Irving drew, drew a picture of a cow.
Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big gunfighter Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
----------------
The James Boys was comin' on a train at first sun,
And the town said, "Irving, we need your gun."
When that train pulled in at the break of dawn,
Irving's gun was there, but Irving was gone.
Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big help, Irving.
Radio Show Lyrics
Radio show, radio show Trust the wizard, here we go Radio show, radio show Trust the wizard, don't say no It's another day today (or is it "to day" instead of "today"?) It's another day today Alone he's alive he's alone he's alive This is not another fad It's another day today It's another day today Radio show, rad

Christmas Blues Lyrics
Christmas is here, where did the time go? Got to load up the reindeer, put on my red suit and go I use to like Christmas, but every year it gets worse Getting gift to six billion people is just too much damn work Got the Christmas blues, man this job is killing me And most of these stupid new houses don't even have chimneys

Well, finally Irving got three slugs in the belly.
It was right outside the Frontier Deli.
He was sittin' there twirlin' his gun around,
And butterfingers Irving gunned himself down!
Irving.
Big, fat Irving.
Big dum-dum Irving.
Big dum-dum dead Irving.
The hundred and forty-second fastest gun in the West.
Really.
*The line about the 10-gallon yarmulke was on the original LP, but the single
version and subsequent LP pressings substituted the line:
Schlepping a salami and pumpernickel bread.
This substitution was made because the record company felt the joke would be
lost on non-Jewish listeners.
