Lumpy Gravy I Lyrics

[I. The Way I See It, Barry]
The way I see it, Barry
This should be a very dynamite show

[II. Duodenum]
(Instrumental)

[III. Oh No]
(Instrumental)

[IV. Bit of Nostalgia]
Spider: Bit of nostalgia for the old folks!
Gilly: I'm advocating dark clothes
Becky: If I'm not alone... How long have I been asleep?
Gilly: As long as I have
Maxine: Did you ever live in a drum?
Becky: No
Maxine: Well then you aren't me
Gilly: I only dreamt I lived in a drum. Ever since it got dark. Dreaming is hard
Susan Kelly: Yeah, but with nothing over your head?
Gilly: No, just light over my head. And underneath too
Susan Kelly: I don't think I could take it without anything over my head
Maxine: Mm-mmh, I couldn't either
Becky: Well why don't you go out and see what's out there?
Gilly: Well... I don't know if that's what's out there
Maxine: Now that's a thought. If you'd like...
Gilly: Yes... But still you can say darker and darker. I don't know what the outside of this thing looks like at all
Guy #1: I do. It's dark and murky
John Kilgore: How do you get your... your water so dark?
Guy #1: 'Cause I'm paranoid. I'm very paranoid. And the water in my washing machine turns dark out of sympathy
John: Out of sympathy?
Guy #1: Yes
John: Um... where can I get that?
Guy #1: At your local drugstore
John: How much?

[V. It's from Kansas]
Guy #1: It's from Kansas

[VI. Bored Out 90 Over]
Bored out .90 over with 3 Stromberg 97's...

[VII. Almost Chinese]
Almost Chinese, huh?
Yeah!

Good bread, 'cause I was making, uh... $2.71 an hour

[VIII. Switching Girl]
I keep switching girls all the time, because if I'm able to find a girl with really a groovy car that ain't built up, man, I'll go steady with her for a while until I'd build up her car and blow out the engine!

[IX. Oh No Again]
(Instrumental)

[X. At the Gas Station]
I worked in a cheesy newspaper company for a while but that was terrible, I wasn't making enough money to build anything

Louie, louie

And then I worked in a printing company and a couple a gas stations. Oh, at the gas station where I was working my brother just got married, and uh... he bought a new car and his wife was having a kid and all this miserable stuff, and he needed a job so I gave him a job at the gas station of which I was fired because, you know, he was gonna work there. And he had his car on the rack and he was lubing and changing tires and everything all the time. And so they got fired because he was goofing off, man, and he just kept taking parts and working on his car day and night. And so he lost that job and he went to work in another gas station. He took that one, you know, so he could feed the kids and that. And I went to work in an aircraft company, and uh... I was building these planes. I worked on the XB-70, I was the last welder on there. Yeah but, it was pretty good bread because I was making, uh... $2.71 an hour. I was making a hundred and a quarter a week, and uh... yeah, it was good enough money to be working on, so I got an Oldsmobile, a groovy Olds. But I was going with this chick at that time. By the time I got the Olds running decently, she went out and tore up the engine, and the trans, and a – her and a girlfriend they get in there and booze it up and tear up the seats. Just ripped the seats completely out. So uh... when, I got a '56 Olds, which was this one chick's I was going with, and uh... we used to drive out all over the place and finally she got rid of that, and uh... I got another pickup!

[XI. Another Pickup]
(Instrumental)

[XII. I Don't Know If I Can Go Through This Again]
Oh man, I don't know if I can go through this again!
