well, those lips they got a hold of me your body brings out my sincerity baby don't you know you and me we could probably fake it because I only say I love you when I'm naked I put out on the very first date they're often impressed with how much I mate well, girl there's a lot of people thinking me and you could make it because I only say I love you when I'm naked pack my bags and I'm on my way fully dressed there ain't that much to say well baby if I had some pills well I think that maybe I could take it because I only say I love you when I'm naked

Ivy 01:56
Her name it was Ivy and she was dark as night could be She wandered through the miles of ice and snow and came right back to me I wanted nothing to do with her that apple fell far from the tree but I've done gone and changed my mind now Ivy's growin' on me And her black black heart made big bad sounds as she traveled through the valleys and the cold sweet towns where her fate might have laid, well, I don't want to know no one escapes from the dryness of bone Born on Friday the 13th or was it Valentine's Day? I can't remember which is which since Ivy crept this way So sickly and pathetic no level ground for she I picked her up and raised a glass now Ivy's growin' on me And her black black heart made big bad sounds as she traveled through the valleys and the cold sweet towns where her fate might have laid, well, I don't want to know no one escapes from the dryness of bone

Pay Day 01:41
i need a pay day, mayday with funds I cant fail there ain't nothing I can fix with my pocket full of tricks hell, everything I own is for sale i need a payday, mayday that'll set my sails i take it as threat when I'm out of cigarettes and i'm eating like I was in jail I need a new everything my whole life's out of kilter i just wiped my ass with a coffee filter I need a pay day, mayday this time it's for real i need a spiritual event just so I can pay the rent killing time has become an ordeal. I might need a new everything before my life falls apart I just cashed in all my change for a PBR I need a pay day, mayday it's those bills I fear it's too late to reassess how I wound up in this mess so i guess i'll just have another beer

There's a ghost in my boot i said a ghost in my boot there's a ghost in my boot and I know that I can't lose with a Ghost in my Boot Well, I went down to the school and I followed that golden rule I told people what to do and I know I paid my dues with a Ghost in my Boot There's a ghost in my boot i said a ghost in my boot there's a ghost in my boot and I know that I can't lose with a Ghost in my Boot I was walking down the street just to see who I could meet when I met this little mute she was looking pretty cute she had a Ghost in her Boot There's a ghost in my boot i said a ghost in my boot there's a ghost in my boot and I know that I can't lose with a Ghost in my Boot

Now Lucy gave me lots to do and Layla made one helluva stew Linda was prone to terrible fits and Lonna had the biggest eyes Lindsey could cook, and Laura could sing Heck Lucille was skinny as a twig But there's a new girl in town and her name is Ludwig I'm in love with a girl named Ludwig and she takes up all my time i can't keep my hands off her and the sound she make's sublime There's no one I'd rather hold after a long hard day of work I said her name is Ludwig Did I just see you smirk? I'm in love with a girl named Ludwig and she's pretty as can be her neck's so smooth and sexy the appeal is plain to see She's all I want to finger now because it gives me joy I said her name is Ludwig and no, she's not a boy.

i'd rather just sit on the couch with you then go out to the movies or the zoo i know it might sound funny but it certainly saves me money and i'd rather just sit on the couch with you i've never been one for billiards or cards i'm much to high to play a game of darts at casinos or the race track, i always lost me paycheck and I'd rather just sit on the couch with you yeah, sittin' around a pizza for 2 polishing off a 12 pack me and you we could go down to the store but free is all I can afford and I'd rather just sit on the couch with you

when i was a kid I went to the music store to become a star but I fucked up and bought a ukulele instead of a guitar Now all the decent pickers cringe and laugh at my voice … or vest They kicked me out of the circle You know what? I'll take the rest I'll take the rest And you can have your nest And I'll take the rest Now I went down to the local pub and I was trying to score but it was getting pretty late and all the girls looked like…. taken I thought of all the nice girls from my past well there's definitely none here now so you know what? I'll take the rest I'll take the rest With no regrets And I'll take the rest Now I know life ain't a roulette wheel but I think it needs to be said that If you take all the black then I'll take all the red and I'm not about to be your fool but there's a lot of things in my head just remember to follow that golden rule as we lay awake in bed Because I'm not picky and I don't care what it is you do Sometimes the best things in life are free but they're also easy to lose Remember a better time? We've all been pissed. Yeah, you can have your little schemes You know what? I'll take the rest I'll take the rest And you can place your bets And I'll take the rest

Road Soda 02:10
Now I like traveling friends, of that fact there is no doubt certain things help pass the miles; that's what this songs about ac and heat are pretty sweet and a radio fills the quota but there's just one thing I can't drive without and it's ice cold road soda road soda it's such a special treat to keep away from prying eyes throw a cooler in the back seat road soda road soda i'll always keep in touch i'll love you till the bitter end though the cops don't like it much Friends, I wouldn't read in to it, or give it too much mind Grab a 6er and throw $5 on 3, i'm a tank's half full kind of guy now it's obscene, but I have seen, grown men cry at it's aroma I didn't say it was okay so I always pray before I crack it open road soda road soda they're always kinda nifty the speed limit sign said 75 but we're just doing 50 road soda road soda it helps me see round corners i'm just hopin' my life don't turn into an episode of Law and Order

about

"Effin" is a style of mouth trumpet playing invented by Cliff Edwards in the early 1920s that predates scatting. And, yes, it is supposed to sound like that. This album is in tribute to the Immortal Ukulele Ike.
