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

Brother, come down to Korea

The 38th Parallel is where I will balance my glass

If it spills South, it flows to the sea

But tip it the other way and it drains to the Pingxingguan Pass

Sister, come down to Korea

The 38th Parallel is where we must shovel and drill

It's hard work, but think of Pangea

They rolled up their sleeves and cut Africa off of Brazil

From "Forced to Breed in Captivity"

There's somebody else in town

Who has the rarest find

He's always a yard sale ahead

I'm one garage behind

But try as I might

The gap ever widens

I'll never afford

A superlative hoard

The way he spends and spends cause

I am a Kollector

And I'm tormented by laughter of the piece I'll never get and

I am a Kollector

And I'm terrified I'll be buried with an incomplete set

My name has slid down the list

In the annual Who is Who

A twenty point font I get

While his is twenty two

The registry is catalogued by value

The editors mock

My dwindling stock

So I don't have to tell you that

I am a Kollector

And I'm tormented by laughter of the piece I'll never get and

I am a Kollector

And I'm terrified I'll be buried with an incomplete set

When I say Ooh

You say Ah

Ooh, ah

I am a Kollector

And I'm tormented by laughter of the piece I'll never get and

I am a Kollector

And I'm terrified I'll be buried with an incomplete set and

From "Down the Wrong Pipe"

King Truckers got a big haul

He's going coast to coast to call

He had it all lined up

Until he hit the wall

And he broke a long bone

Broke a broke a long long bone

King Truckers got a big haul

He's going coast to coast to call

He had it all lined up

Until he hit the wall

And he broke a long bone

Broke a broke a long long bone

There's a pecking order

And The Kings on top

There's a pecking order

And The Kings on Kings on

There's a pecking order

And The Kings on top

All hail

Hail the King Trucker!

There's a pecking order

And The Kings on top

There's a (what) pecking order

And The Kings on Kings on

There's a pecking order

And The Kings on top

All hail

Hail the King Trucker!

I would pump my Shotgun arm

To hear that trucker song

I would pump my Shotgun arm

To hear that trucker song

King Truckers out of T-town

He's got a lead foot

And a chrome crown

He's going coast to coast

With the hammer down

Got to pack a tight freight

Pack a pack a tight tight freight.

King Truckers out of T-town

He's got a lead foot

And a chrome crown

He's going coast to coast

With the hammer down

Got to pack a tight freight

Pack a pack a tight tight freight.

And The Kings on top

I would pump my Shotgun arm

To hear that trucker song

I would pump my Shotgun arm

To hear that trucker song

I would pump my Shotgun arm

I would pump my Shotgun arm

To hear that trucker song

King Caftan's Song

King:

I want some fixers for my very own

To restore the glory that I used to know

All:

The crowd will fall upon their knees,

They'll finally follow our decrees

King:

They'll bow to me and me alone!

All:

Our destiny is in the making!

The world will be there for the taking! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

King:

Once I had the love of the peasants everywhere.

Who is he to take my share

But as soon as my crack team of fixing men apears

I'll be deaf from all their cheers!

Hepherdide:

I'd like to say your highness if I could,

You could send your fixers to his neighborhood.

We'll stop the problem at the source

Take our monopoly by force

Next thing their hearts are yours for good!

All:

Our destiny is in the making!

The world will be there for the taking! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

King:

If the poor have some dumb affinity for guys

Who can weld and cauterize,

All we do is turn their affections upside down

And divert them to the crown.
