Mountain

Billy the mountain

A regular picturesque

Postcardy mountain

Residing between lovely

Rosamond and Gorman

With his stunning wife Ethell

A tree

A tree

Billy was a mountain

Ethel was a tree

Growing off of his shoulder

Billy was a mountain

Ethel was a tree

Growing off of his shoulder

Billy had two big

Caves for eyes

With a cliff for a jaw

That would go up 'n down

And whenever it did

He'd puff out some dust

And hack up a boulder

Hack

Hack up a boulder

Hack hack

Hack up a boulder

Hack hack hack

Hack up a boulder

Now one day a man in a checkered suit drove up in a big

Lincoln continental and he laid a huge

Bulging envelope right at the corner of billy the mountain

Right where his 'foot' was supposed to be

Now billy the mountain he couldn't believe it

All those postcards he'd posed for for over these years

And finally now at last his royalties

Billy the mountain was rich his eyeball caves widened in amazement

His cliff

Which was his jaw

It dropped thirty feet

Ooh a bunch of dust puffed out rocks and boulders hacked up

Hack hack hack hack hack hack hack

Crushing 'the Lincoln'

Now the man in the checkered suit well

Without his car he went screaming off into the desert at sunset

All the way to Rosamond to get a beer and tell everybody there

Including Ronnie Cook what had happened to his car

I gave him the money

He acted real funny

He hocked up a rock and

It totaled my car

Oh do you

Know any trucks

Might be bound for the Valley

I don't want to stand here

All night in this bar

Dear lord

I don't want to stand here

All night in this bar

No s**t

I don't want to stand here

All night in this bar

By two o'clock and the bars are already closed down

Billy had already broken 'the big news' to Ethel

With dust and boulders everywhere billy choked with excitement announced

Ethel we're going on a vacation

Yes and they were going on a vacation

Oh and Ethel Ethel Ethel Ethel just like a woman

Of course she was delighted she creaked a little bit

And some old birds flew off of her

Hey Mr Tambourine Man play a song

Billy told Ethel they were going to

They were going to New York

Ethel we're going to

New York

But first they were gonna stop in Las Vegas

It's off to Las Vegas

To check out the lounges

Pull a few handles

Drink a few beers

Oh Ethel

Ethel my darling

You know that I love you

I'm glad we could have a

Vacation this year

Oh neet o

Glad we could have a

Vacation this year

They left that night crunchin' across the mojave desert

Their voices echoing through the canyons of your minds

Ethel want to get a cuppa cawfee

There's a Howard Johnsons want to eat some clams

The first noteworthy piece of real estate they destroyed was Edwards Air Force Base

And to this very day 'wing nuts' and data reduction clerks alike

Speak in reverent whispers about that fateful night when

Test stand number one and the rocket sled itself got LUNCHED

By a famous mountain in and his small wooden wife

Good bye to Las Vegas

Farewell to the lounges

We pulled a few handles

We drank a few beers

Guess that George Putnam

Should be on the air now

With the biggest new story

That has broken this year

George Putnam

His biggest new story

That has broken this year

Take it away George

Word just in to the KTTV news service undeniably links

This mountain and his wife to d**g abuse

And pay offs as part of a San Joaquin Valley smut ring

However we can assure parents in the Southern California area

That a recent narcotics crack down

In Torrance Hawthorne Lomita

Westchester Playa del Rey Santa Monica

Tujunga Sunland San Fernando Pacoima Sylmar

Newhall Canoga Park

Palmdale Glendale Irwindale

Rolling Hills Granada Hills Shadow Hills Cheviot Hills

Will provide the secret evidence

The Palmdale grand jury has needed to seek a criminal indictment

And pave the way for stiffer legislation increased federal aid

And avert a crippling strike of bartenders and veterinarians throughout the inland empire

But it is this reporter's opinion that Ethel is a former Communist

Within the week Jerry Lewis had hosted a telethon

Wah wah wah nice lady

To raise funds for the injured

Injured

And homeless

Homeless

In Denver

As Billy had just levelled it and a few miles right outside of town

Billy caused a 'Oh Mein Papa' in the earth's crust

Right over the secret underground dumps where they keep the pools of old poison gas

And obsolete germ bombs just as a freak tornado cruised through

Sucking up two thirds of it

Suck suck suck

For untimely dispersal over vast stretches of WATTS

Now it was about this time I think it was right outside of Columbus Ohio that billy got his notice to report for his induction physical

Now believe me Ethel said she wasn't gonna let him go

I'm not gonna let you go billy

And george putnam the right wing creepo fascist pig newscaster from los angeles said

Take it away george putnam

The right wing fascist radical creepo pig newscaster from los angeles

We now have confirmed reports from an informed orange county minister

That ethell is still an active communist

And it's this reporter's opinion that she also practices witch craft

It was about this time that the telephone rang in the secret briefcase

Belonging to the one mortal man

Who might be able to stop all of this senseless destruction and save 'america herself'

Now some men say he looked like

He looked like

Felix Pappalardi

Felix Pappalardi

Still others say

Others say

Bulls**t man

Bulls**t man

He was just born

He was born

Next to the frozen beef pies at Gristede's

Frozen beef pies

Still others say

Others say he was just another

Again he was just a crazy Italian

Crazy Italian

Who drove a red car

You see it was hard to tell

But nobody knows

Nobody knew for sure

For sure

He was so

So

Mysterious

Mysterious

Oh yes he was

He was so

He was so he was so

Mysterious

He was so

Mysterious

Cause when a person gets to be

Such a hero folks

And marvelous beyond compute

You can never really tell

About a guy like that

Whether he's really a nice person

Or if he just smiles a lot

What

Or if he has a son named 'pinocchio'

Or what

Whether he's really a nice person or if he has a son named 'pinocchio' or what

Some men say he could fly

Some men say he could swim

Others say he could sing

Like neil sedaka

And all the girls in flushing

Would be amazed of him

Two three

Amazed of him

Time passes

So when the phone rang

In the secret briefcase

Thank you

A strong masculine hand

With a wristwatch

And flexy bracelet

Grabbed it

And answered

In a deep calmly assured voice:

On the head of a

Head of a

Head of a pin

Three dog night

Other still maintain the fact

Good god

He was born next to the frozen beef pies

And that was the main influence on him

Boldly springing into action he phoned his wife

Who ran a modeling school

Whereupon she he ran around the back of 'gimbel's'

To see if he could find some big un used cardboard boxes

After which he hit up gristede's for some 'kaiser broiler foil'

Some 'aunt jemima syrup' and a pair of blunt scissors hey hey

Yes and in the parking lot across the street from the

One fifth avenue hotel

In between a pair of customized trucks where nobody was looking

He cut out a pair of really really nice wings and he covered 'em thoroughly with foil

Thoroughly with foil thoroughly with foil

Thoroughly with foil

Thorougly with foil

Thoroughly with foil

Thoroughly with with foil

Then he took those 'wings'

And wedged one under each of his powerful arms and sneaked into a telephone booth

He closed the door and he pulled down his gray denim bus driver type pants

And he spread even amounts of aunt jemima syrup all over the inside of his legs

Right underneath his boxer pretty shorts ha ha ha

Soon the booth was filling with flies

Help me help me help me

He held open the legs of his boxer shorts so they could all get in

Yes and when each and every one of those little

Each and every one of those little cocksuckin' flies had gone into his boxer shorts

And was lapping up all that good aunt jemima syrup

He bent over and he put his head between his legs

And he said to those little flies in a clear impressive voice

New york

And the booth and everything lifted up out of the parking lot and into the sky

Studebaker

Yeah yeah

Studebaker

Studebaker

We join studebaker hoch standing on the edge of billy the mountain's mouth

Billy I've come to reason with you

Our great country needs you in the armed forces

Why it's all fair and square the lottery you know your number came up

You can't go on running like this forever

Ethell shook her twigs angrily but studebaker hoch un ferturbed continued

Listen you

Cough cough

Listen you communist son of a b***h

You better get your a*s down there for your f**kin' physical

Or I'll see to it that you get used for fill dirt

In some impending new jersey marsh reclamation

And your girl friend here will wind up disguised as a series of brooms

Primitive ironing boards

Or a dog house

Get the

Cough cough

Get the picture

Billy just laughed

Ho ho ho if they think they're gonna draft me they're crazy

Now you'd remember that studebaker hoch was standing on the edge of billy's mouth

So that when he laughed he lost his balance and unfortunately fell

Screaming two hundred feet into the rubble below

That was only one hundred feet you carnaby cutie

Let's hear another set

Which only goes to prove

A mountain is something

You don't want to f**k with

You don't want to f**k with

Don't f**k around

Don't f**k around

Don't f**k with billy

And don't f**k with ethell

You saw what just happened

To the guy with the flies
