Not Really a Bear

Download Song

From "There, There"

Hey Panda, I dig you

You 're a puppet turned inside out

You 're plucky, exotic

Two wet ink blots

From a Chinese calligraphy pen

Two wet ink blots

From a Chinese calligraphy pen

But don't you lie to my face

Don't you even dare

You 're not really a bear

Not really a bear

Teddy got game

But the Teddies are toys

See the browns and the blacks

Are the real McCoys

Koala, I dig you

And your scratch-off lottery skills

Your silhouette

Is fetching

Like a shrunken dried-up

Mouseketeer in a jar

Like a shrunken dried-up

Mouseketeer in a jar

But don't you lie to my face

Don't you even dare

You 're not really a bear

Not really a bear

Hey Franklin,

Ben Franklin

And at that precise moment

The courtroom doors fly open

And a throng of angry figures erupts into the proceedings

The judge bangs has gavel and calls for order

But they don't understand anything he says

Because they are bears

Real bears

And they have come to take back their name...

Can I fix you some greens, now Baby

FromTender is the Heart

I am already late for the party

And I left the cake in the car

And the car that has the cake

I drove it in the lake

So baby, baby, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby, baby, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

They're everywhere

Ugly boys and pretty girls

I need someone to rescue me

The universal dream

Pretty boys and ugly girls

It happens all the time, you'll see

I guess it's worth a shot

Would you be mine

If you'd rather not

Then that's still fine

'Cause I love everyone

I called up an old girlfriend from high school

And complained that I've been sleeping way too much

It's two pm, she said

Don't call when I'm in bed

So baby, baby, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby, baby, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

They're everywhere

Ugly boys and pretty girls

I need someone to rescue me

The universal dream

Pretty boys and ugly girls

It happens all the time, you'll see

It's clear as Q.E.D.

I ought to be your beau

But you don't fancy me

And so there's no

No joy in Mudville now

Baby, something's wrong with me

I'm a child prodigy

But you won't be my steady sweety

Baby, something's wrong with me

I'm a child prodigy

But you won't be my steady sweety

Never Shake a Baby

Download Song

From "and then the training takes over..."

No, no you don't don't

Ever shake a baby

And if you do don't

Shake it very hard

And if you do don't

Shake it for a long time

Just don't

No, no you don't don't

Ever shake a baby

And if you do don't

Shake it very hard

And if you do don't

Shake it for a long time

Just don't

We're a team,

But Baby, I'm the lynchpin

We're a team

But Baby I'm the rock

Got my full ride scholarship to Princeton

Got my honey on the auction block

Insecure

Smiling with my lips down

Insecure

As a granny knot

Pony up

It's time to put your chips down

Pony up

Here comes the money shot

No, no you don't don't

Ever shake a baby

And if you do don't

Shake it very hard

And if you do don't

Shake it for a long time

Just don't

No, no you don't don't

Ever shake a baby

And if you do don't

Shake it very hard

And if you do don't

Shake it for a long time

Just don't

A Field Guide to the Hive Mind

Copies for the graduating class

Will it be worth it

Ask a volcano virgin

I'm taking you all down

Now whered I put that that jawbone of an ass

I swear I swear I swear I had it with me

A Field Guide to the Hive Mind

Copies for the graduating class

Will it be worth it

Ask a volcano virgin

I'm taking you all down

Now whered I put that that jawbone

We're a team,

But Baby, I'm the lynchpin

We're a team

But Baby I'm the rock

Got my full ride scholarship to Princeton

Got my honey on the auction block

Insecure

Smiling with my lips down

Insecure

As a granny knot

Pony up

It's time to put your chips down

Pony up

Here comes the money shot

No, no you don't don't

Ever shake a baby

And if you do don't

Shake it very hard

And if you do don't

Shake it for a long time

Just don't

No, no you don't don't

Ever shake a baby

And if you do don't

Shake it very hard

And if you do don't

Shake it for a long time

Just don't
