When I first moved into the shack I was thinkin’ “man this place is whack”. It had a broken shower and it looked like it was rented by the hour. Ha! I could have told you so. That house was creepin’, it was crumblin’, it was covered with mold. Shack of the Year Shack of the Year Shack of the Year Shack of the Year It was tried, it was hard, but we made it really far. And for the winners? A chicken dinner. But the microwave broke so we be getting’ thinner! Oh no! The microwave done broke! Oh no! The microwave done broke. We got Emily B, and Bryan B, and Joshua Denny-Keys! We got Emily B, and Bryan B, and Joshua Denny-Keys! We got Emily B, and Bryan B, and Joshua Denny-Keys! We got Emily B, and Bryan B, and Joshua Denny-Keys! Haha looks like we did it! Ah man, I can’t believe we lived here that long. It’s been a long year, boys. Sweets! Treats! <whispers> Shack of the Year You’ve disappoint-you think you want me to fix it? I’m never gonna fix it. What you wanna shower while clean yourself I don’t have hygiene – Take a bath! Who needs a microwave? You don’t need a microwave to heat up your food. I’ll give you five dollars for that microwave. You want a deck? You want a new deck that doesn’t leak into your room? I’m Emily! And I’m Bryan, hehehe! And I’m a dumb baby! I’m just a dumb baby! HAHA! Buh-bye! Shack of the Year! That’s where it should end.

booty on a windowsill 02:40

I came into the livin’ room And what did my eyes see? A hot little booty on that futon Sittin’ there waitin’ for me. I put my lulus on I’m going for a run. It doesn’t matter where I go, They holler at my buns! Booty on a windowsill Booty on a windowsill Booty on a windowsill Booty on a windowsill Booty on a window Booty on a window Booty on a windowsill Booty on a window Booty on a window Booty on a windowsill Cookin’ up my chicken Warmin’ up my sauce. When I saw that big round booty Sittin’ on my countertop Booty on the bathroom floor Booty against my door I see booty in the car, Booty at the bar, Booty from afar, from afar, from afar… And they all go marching… Damn! That booty got bubble! That thing is out of this world – hubble! No really, I drop a milli to get to get to outer space Just for a bird’s eye view of your booty shake You know I’m tryin’ to patient But them jeans don’t leave much to the imagination Forget the polls and them dollar bills Just let me see that booty on a windowsill

"I" Wrote This Song 02:36
lyrics
buy track
I wrote this song This song for you two So keep it close When we’re apart I wrote this song This song for you two To let you know This year has filled my heart There are crumbs on the counter, clothes on the chairs Leaves on the carpet, and sinks full of hairs And damn it! You leave the lights on! I have seen so much underwear. And I don’t wanna know what’s under there. And I’m thankful you don’t wear thongs. The small freezer’s full, full of beer And chicken slob – that’s barely meat Your sauces are hotter than hell! Your flatulence frightens me Worse than your stinky feet You’re lucky that I can’t smell.

Ladies and gentlemen in the audience I need your help Throw down those vegetables and pick up that wallet Cause we gonna get some dirrrrty I want that nasty shit Give me that greasy hit I think it’s Tuesday I want my food – HEY! Word on the street is the habanero heat burns hot like a fire but it’s tasty sweet Chicken dip em’s, cheeseburger no bun, double up the bacon it goes straight to my bum Nachos, poutine, taco bell, Burger King, sweet potato fries and chipotle Chinese, nuggets and sauce, bringin’ back the KFC Big Boss Sweet McRib for my lunch because it tastes like a gym mat with barbecue sauce Tacos, enchiladas, quesadillas, with cheese – no cauliflower, broccoli, or cabbage for me Spicy, toasty, gordita crunch, fill my cup with Hawaiian Punch When I hear those words I start to “brr”, as KFC guy says “Ketchup or vinegar?” It’s Friday night and the munchies have started, I wander into Wendy’s feeling hungry and bothered I look at the menu and what do I see? A #6 waiting for me There’s so many options on the drink machine, it’s like they designed it just for me Coke, raspberry, lime, or peach - %$#! It! I’ll get it all and a frosty! Sweets, treats, everywhere! Gotta satisfy my palette after dinner Yeti Yogurt, Menchies, or Marble Slab – ice cream of every flavour is so fab Chocolate candies to put on top, layer with some syrup to give it some hop Pounds of sundaes stacked from the floor, makes me drool and always want more Did someone say Chinese? That ain’t what I need. Burger King is tasty but it don’t make me Lose my mind everytime, like when I see that neon Taco Bell sign I can’t control it, the way they roll it, burrito bowl it, that’s how I know It’s Tuesday, what a beautiful smell – just gimme some Taco Bell

The Tronch 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Let’s go for a mighty Tronch now Up and to the Sev or up the mountainside We could go and eat at Bon’s Or roll down to the sea Let the dice be our guide Cause everybody likes to say hi No one really likes to say bye Let’s go for a mighty Tronch now End up in a farmland where life is not that royal But plunge your hands into the ground Oh isn’t it amazing? It’s really good soil. Beans roots growing juicy dream fruits Clean flutes singing sweet like queen hoots Let’s go for a mighty Tronch now Head straight to the cinema, see a brand new film Or maybe we could have a foot race Tackle one another, and maybe break a rib

Berta Girls 03:46

Goin’ to Cowtown cause it’s lots of fun Gonna check out her tower cause it’s number one Mini-skirts and a plaid T Flask in her chest headin’ to the stampede Stevie W sings they almost always go back But one of them’s staying right here at the shack They say that the key to a happy life Is getting’ yourself a good Berta wife Those Berta girls (those Berta girls) Those Berta girls (those Berta girls) The silly girls sayin’ that they all want guns But they’re too busy sittin’ eatin’ beef on a bun The boys rockin’ beers getting’ into a fight While the girls are two-steppin’ on a Saturday night Stevie W said they almost always go back But one of them’s staying right here at the shack Early morn tendin’ to the farm Mekayla always hated having chickens in the barn She guzzles oil cause it’s dirt cheap For them pickup trucks on every street Don’t mind gettin’ dirty if it’s for the cause And when Stephen Harper left they were really pissed off The girls from the ‘Peg well they’re way too cold And the Maritime hotties are much too old The Rain City girls no they can’t measure up And the ‘Tario girls got their heads in their butts

When I feel happy I like to dance around But when I’m sad I wear a frown I got so many feelings Woah Wanna tell you about my feelings Woah When I feel angry I like to smash my toys And when I’m excited I make some noise – make some noise!

It’s a sad thing let me tell you what my woes is When I wake up and I can’t smell the roses It’s a sad thing when you leave the bathroom And you can’t smell the gift you left behind you It’s a sad thing I can’t smell the world around me It’s a sad thing Alright It’s a sad thing when I walk amongst the trees And the sweet scent of Mother Nature eludes me And it’s a sad thing, when you drive by a bakery And you can’t smell all those sexy, tiny pastries And I try to understand it And I try but I can’t You know I can’t And it’s a sad thing that memories of days ago Are odourless… I’ll never know

I was at the beach the other day (tumbala-like it) The waves were fine and so were the ladies lookin’ my way (tumbala-like it) A cloud rolled in Yet still I sing Tumbalalala-like it Tumbalalala-like it (like it, like it) Tumbalalala-like it Tumbalalala-like it (like it, like it) Tumbala, tumbala, tumbala, tumbala-like it Tumbala-like it Tumbala, tumbala, tumbala, tumbala-like it Tumbala-like it Walk in Stanley Park watchin’ them ride by (tumbala-like it) Ridin’ on my bike when that girl caught my eye (tumbala-like it) I had to leave But still I sing

Teemo Teemo Teemo Teemo Olé! Cold and wet like the Arctic air Turn the heater on but the cold’s still there Leaky ceiling by the light Gonna get electrocuted tonight Joshua’s Room Joshua’s Room Joshua’s Room Oh Joshua’s Room Creepy slug slide through the door Gonna get squashed on Joshua’s floor Wood bug chew right through the wall Keep that exterminator on call <Hello?> Mold in the closet as black as coal Thank the ‘lords his closet isn’t full Grimy blinds weren’t out of place But tore them down with such grace One whole year in a greasy place The lease runs out there’s a smile on his face Joshua’s luck can’t get much worse He’ll rid himself of this curse Dead mouse underneath the rug Why couldn’t it have been another…CHICKEN!

I can’t see you I’ve been drinking I can’t see you I am blind I have whiskey in my stomach I have warmth inside Whiskey, whiskey how I love you Whiskey, whiskey makes me glad Whiskey, whiskey how I hate you Whiskey, whiskey, makes me sad I am walking in my dress pants Head is spinning all the round I’ve been losing all my balance I be falling to the ground A bottle of my favourite bourbon is quite empty now A teardrop fell down from my cheek I was pooped on by an owl

Goodbye Bryan, it’s time to go Goodbye Bryan, it’s time to go It’s time to say goodbye So until next time… Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye! We always knew this day would come You’d pack your bags head off into the sun We prepped our hearts but no one ever knows How hard a farewell tolls upon your soul I held your hands you held me in your arms I cried for you, you worked me with your charms And now I fear I can’t go on alone But Toronto called, you’ve got to get back home So goodbye, GoodBry We had our time but you’ve got to go Goodbye, GoodBry I’ll let you head back to Ontario And late at night when I’d run into you I reached out and from me you withdrew I healed your wounds, you gave me new life A weight was lifted, a light was shining bright So goodbye, GoodBry We had our time but you’ve got to go Goodbye, GoodBry I’ll let you head back to Ontario Go left, go right, go up if coloured red I’m talking bout the hair upon her head And one cliché I give to you my friend Is all good things come to an end So goodbye, GoodBry We had our time but you’ve got to go Goodbye, GoodBry I’ll let you head back to Ontario You best be getting back to your home
