Bring Me the Head of Elmo                        (studio recording [audio] for this song here)

bring me the head of elmo
i'll make you some nice red house shoes
bring me john bonham's kick drum
i'll give you a hoop to jump through
show a little common courtesy
make me wonder what the world is coming to

life used to be a bowl of cherries
but then they took 'em and stuck 'em in a fruitcake
go stand under the door jamb
i'm starting to feel another earthquake
and the global warming's kicking in
looks like it gonna be a little shake 'n bake

went to church on sunday
my head was cloudy but the sky was clear
jesus up on the cross
said sammy i can see your house from here
took a little outta the collection plate
just enough to buy me a can of beer

i was up late
but you were up later making your plan
you'd go to pittsburgh
and i'd stay here just kicking this can
but i remember honey
when you used to call me your hoodoo man

we'll dig a little paddy
fill it fulla water and grow some rice
i can bake a pie
we can even give your mother a slice
we'll buy a little graveyard
make it real cozy fix it up nice
and try to stay happy
we'll think about death but we won't think twice
