1.Fare Away

作詞:Michael Mckean, Annette O'toole, Jeffrey Lynn Vanston

Sun breaks over the spritsail yard
Chip sheet's hauling to leeward hard
Crosstree's humming a morning hymn
I'm the cabin boy, call me Jim. (His name's Jim)

Fare away, fare away under main topsail
To the furbelow of the wily whale

Captain's stalking the quarterdeck
Tells the tail of his first shipwreck
Castaway with a case of rum
Hoped that rescue would never come (Never come)

Fare away, fare away under main topsail
To the furbelow of the wily whale
To the furbelow of the wily, wily

First mate Peter's a hardened man
Says the captain's a charlatan
Don't know tackle from futtock plates
The sailor's sent to the pearly gates

Fare away, fare away under main topsail
To the furbelow of the wily whale

I been sailing these seven seas
Since I's nigh high to a mermaid's knees
Come next April I'm sixty-three
I can't advance! (I like short pants!)
Save in the cabin on the open sea

Fare away, fare away under main topsail
To the furbelow of the wily whale


2.Just That Kinda Day

作詞:Christopher Guest, Michael John Mc Kean

It's just that kinda day

It's time to kick on back
Toss your cares away
Cartwheels and piggy backs
It's just that kinda day

Tell mean old Mr. Blues
He's welcome here no more
Put on your happy shoes
And chase him out the door

Today when I awoke
All my cares went up in smoke
I thought about the sad eyed folk
Who'd ne-ver heard this song

Don't cry. Don't fret. Don't frown
You'll only bruise your heart
The sun's a circus clown
The moon's a lemon tart

I'm sittin' on a hill
Watching clouds at play
Love clouds, I always will
It's just that kind of day

Today when I awoke
All my cares went up in smoke
I thought about the sad eyed folk
Who'd ne-ver heard this song

Let's give ourselves a break
From sorrow and dismay
The world's a birthday cake
It's just that kinda day
It's just that kinda day
It's just that kind of day


3.Potato's In The Paddy Wagon

作詞:Michael John Mc Kean, Annette O'toole

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Gotta get her outta there
Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Mama says it just ain't fair

One night mama went to fetch us up a sweet potato
Fell down the cellar stairs
Stork dropped in while she was on the floor
So my sister was born down there

Daddy says this ain't will be nothin' but a misery
Never will be worth a damn
But mama just loved her little sweet Potato baby
With a face like a parboiled yam

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Gotta get her outta there
Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Mama says it just ain't fair

Potato grew up to be as pretty as a peach
In her calico and honey yellow curls
Went to the apple cider ball at the armory
With all the other ripe and ready girls

Sheriff Dan Pike, picked Potato for the polka
But she spurned him with a fiddle de-dee
And before she could turn around and find another partner
Sheriff took her into custody

Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Gotta get her outta there
Come on boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Mama says it just ain't fair

Mama 'n' daddy put together quite a little posse
Countin' me and Jack and cousin Will
We all hopped into the old Chevy pickup
And we caught â€~em at the top of the hill

Daddy took his Remington and shot away the lock
For to set his little darlin' free
But Potato said, ‽Daddy, shut the golden door
Sheriff wants to marry me”

Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Guess we better leave her there
Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Mama says it's more than fair

Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Guess we better leave her there
Let's go boys, Potato's in the paddy wagon
Mama says it's more than fair
Mama says it's more than fair
Mama says it's more than fair


4.Never Did No Wanderin'

作詞:Michael John Mc Kean, Harry Shearer

Wanderin', never did no wanderin'

My mother was the cold north wind
My daddy was the sun
Of a railroad man from west of hell
Where the trains don't even run

Never heard the whistle of a lonesome freight
Or the singin' of it's drivin' wheel

No I, never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all

They say, the highway's just one big road
And it goes from here to there
And they say, you carry a heavy load
When you're rollin' down the line somewhere

Never seen the dance of the telephone poles
As they go whizzin' by

Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all

Never did no wanderin' high
Never did no wanderin' low

A sailor's life is a life for him
But it never was for me
And I never soared where they hawk may soar
Or see what the hawk may see
(What the hawk may see)
(What the hawk may see)

Never hiked to Heaven on a mountain trail
Never rode on a river's rage

Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all
(Eay now)

Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin'
Never did no wanderin' after all

No I, never did no wanderin' after all


5.Main Street Rag

作詞:John Michael Higgins

Walkin' down the main street
Everybody's gonna sing
The mothers and the brothers
Everybody let freedom ring

I'll put your hand in mine
Gonna have us all one fine time
We're the main street singers
And we're here to make a crazy scene

How far out
Can main street get
Can main street get
Whoa yeah
