1. So What? - lyrics by daevid allen

maybe now y got a job 
maybe now y got a family 
maybe now y gotcha card 
a master card 

maybe now yr online 
maybe now yr on cable 
now y talkin on the phone 
yr on yr mobile 

are you able to be free? 
do y know whats on yr menu? 
do y understand a tree? 
or future creatures? 

do y think y really know? 
so y think y got the answer? 
dont y think yoo oughta know 
yr just the dan-cer! 

tell me all about yr life 
now y made yrself some money 
so y gotcha self a wife 
a wife for life 

maybe now yr on call 
gotcha cards out on the table 
now yr stakin out the deal 
how are you feelin? 

y dont think much about the land 
you dont worry bout the culture 
when the forrest turns to sand 
become the vulture 
so y think y really know 
so y think y got the question 
doncha think you oughta know 
if its really your investment? 

all the money that y make 
while yr poisoning the waters 
all the medicine we take 
well y know you really bought it 

so y think yr pretty cool (so what) 
thats the way its gotta be now (so what) 
just a product you can sell (so what) 
but not to me now 

2. Gold Top - lionel hampton & ken kynard (adapted by daevid allen, inspired by king pleasure's 'my little red top')

my little gold top 
boy how you got me spinning 
goin round n round 
just like i never stop 
wot goes around will be coming around 
i'm sure gonna trip gonna flip gonna flop 
so gold top 
you just go right on spinning 
goin round n round 
n don't you ever stop 
remember that if you dont go around 
were sure gonna drop gonna drop gonna drop 
o my sweet little spacey blue gown 
i'm sittin up on my mushroom like an ol catapillar 
a toke on my waterpipe maybe then you can believe me 
nobody can hubble n bubble like you babe 
so i'm outa this world & in love with you 

please beam me up with you 
i wanna ride with you in a ufo too 
so darlin wont you tell me yr mine 
& fly me high up in the night 
& love me 
now that i'm spinning now that i'm skinning up 
so dont you dare stop 
i'm way out of orbit & i dont wanna drop 

i musn't take a solo 
but i cant stop 
i gotta go right on trippin its a trap 
but i'm a little gold top 
i gotta go right on spinning 
deep in my rushroom mush until i tumble down 
& fall with that drop 
morning glory 
now y know the story of my little friend 

ma little gold top 
see how y got me spinning 
goin round n round 
& i dont wanna stop 
you got me so if i dont go around 
i'm sure gonna drop gonna drop gonna 
drop 
my gold top 
i just go right on spinning 
goin round n round 
just like i never stop 
remember that if you dont go around 
y just cool down baby cos we sure gonna drop 

3. I Can't Get Started - ira gershwin (updated from bobby troupe's adaptation, capitol australia clp040 (mx60400) 10" non-breakable long playing microgroove 1956)

i've bin round n round the world in a jet 
i've hung out with richard gere in tibet (believe me) 
tadjikistan i've chartered 
but still i can't get started with you 

on the golf course i'm way under par 
i roam the streets in my brand new xk jaguar 
still i'm broken hearted 
cos i cant get started with you 

you're so serene 
sweet words i sing to you 
dreamin 
dreams that begin with you 
schemin 
schemes that will bring you to me 
but what good would that do? 
mike tyson taught me his favourite munch 
i've had brigette fonda 
to lunch 
even so i'm broken hearted 
cos i can't get started with you 
when we first met 
how you excited me 
yet 
you hardly noticed me 
shyet baby...my self esteem is so flat 
so tell me 
what should i do? 

in the 1980's i had millions to burn 
but just lately i just drop ecstasy & yearn for you babe 
i got a house a showplace 
still i just get no place 
with you 
i just can't get started 
with you 

4. Slow Boat - daevid allen (inspired by charlie parker's original recording, live from the royal roost nyc feb 26 1949)

i'd love to git choo 
in a jeep to machipichu 
all to myself alone 
charm & bewitch you 
on a high mountain trail 
gently unstitch you 
with some jungle juggler's tales 

i'd love to seduce ya 
on a cruise to andalucia 
or in a yurt afghanistani in nepal 
raise yr kundalini 
in the hotel blue dakini 
one love for two 
free love for all 
i'd love to tickle ya 
everywhere in particular 
laughin all the way back home 

zap you 
entrap you 
tickle yr tips n stroke you 
touch you n tease you 
feel you n please yoo 
light you up & stoke ya 
stir you up & stroke yo 
lick yr tips & squeeeeze yoo 
love you deep & 
lose myself 
in you 

5. It Ain't Necessarily So - ira gershwin (adapted by daevid allen, for ynys)

it ain't necessarily so 
it ain't necessarily so 
the things that yr liable 
to read in the bible 
well it ain't necessarily so 

they say jonah he lived in a whale 
they say jonah he lived in a whale 
made his home in that fish's abdomen 
hey wot a strange thing 
jonah he lived in that whale 

moses was found in a stream 
lil moses he was found in a stream 
he floated on water til the pharoe's daughter 
she fished him right out of that stream 

it ain't necessarily so 
it ain't necessarily so 
they tell all them children 
that the devil he's a villain 
but it ain't necessarily so 

david was small but O my 
lil david he was small but O my 
he stoned big goliath 
who lay down there and die-eth 
lil david he was small but Ohh my 

So this is my bible story for you 
but it ain't necessarily so 

6. Funny Valentine - lorenz hart

my funny valentine 
sweet comic valentine 
you make me smile 
with my heart 
your looks are laughable 
unphotographable 
yet you're my favourite 
work of art 

is yr figure less than greek? 
is yr mouth a little weak? 
& when you open it to speak 
are you wise? 
i think you'd be surprised... 

but don't change a hair for me 
not if you care for me 
stay little valentine stay 
every day is valentine's day
