True Men Don’t Kill Coyotes Lyrics

[Intro]

Hoo, lord!

[Verse 1]

I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse

Through the Hollywood hills

The farther west, the farther out

Yeah, that's the way I feel

Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust

I barbecue my meals

Riding wild on a paisley dragon

Through the Hollywood hills, yeah

Huh, Hollywood hills

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse

Through the Hollywood hills

Just don't tell me anything

'Cause that's the way I feel

Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust

I barbecue my meals

Riding wild on a paisley dragon

Through the Hollywood hills, yeah

Huh, Hollywood hills

[Pre-Chorus]

Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes

He can taste his blood and blood never lies

Pale face die

[Chorus]

True men don't kill coyotes

[Verse 1]

I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse

Through the Hollywood hills

The farther west, the farther out

Yeah, that's the way I feel

Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust

I barbecue my meals

Riding wild on a paisley dragon

Through the Hollywood hills, yeah

Huh, Hollywood hills

[Pre-Chorus]

Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes

He can taste his blood and blood never lies

Pale face die

[Chorus]

True men don't kill coyotes

True men don't

[Verse 2]

I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse

Through the Hollywood hills

Just don't tell me anything

'Cause that's the way I feel

Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust

I barbecue my meals

Riding wild on a paisley dragon

Through the Hollywood hills, yeah

Huh, Hollywood hills

[Pre-Chorus]

Passion drippin' from the coyote's eyes

He can taste his blood and blood never lies

Pale face die

[Chorus]

True men don't kill coyotes

True men don't

True men don't kill coyotes

True men don't

Ahh! True men don't kill coyotes

True men don't

Baby Appeal Lyrics

[Verse 1]

On the city streets, I got the tunes in my box

I'll play the Chili Peppers so the public can rock

Excuse me mister, won't you hear my thought?

I play in a band, yeah, we're called the Red Hots

While I'm away, boy, I'm afraid not

I've got no time to think and talk

But this baby rocked out on the spot

She was a-shakin' and a-kickin', that itty bitty tot

Her pops said no, but she just couldn't stop

The kid had a case of toddler rock

[Chorus]

Well here's a funky fact that I know is real

The Red Hots have baby appeal

They bring a funky spiel that makes us feel

The Chili Peppers have baby appeal

The funk mobile is the one we wheel

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal

We serve those tots in the funk mobile

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal

[Verse 2]

We stoke the fire, we crank the heat

Four groove-dog brothers funkin' out in the street

Rappin' up a storm when, who do we meet?

Up on a hop, skip, jump, bumpin' baby da beat

She was a-shakin' and a-kickin' those itty bitty feet

The next thing you know, she called out her fleet

Five thousand babies rocking out in the street

Well, that's a serious sight, I mean golly gee whizz!

I just can't tell ya how much we dig

Rockin' right out for those itty bitty kiddos, rock out

[Chorus]

But here's a funky fact that I know is real

The Red Hots have baby appeal

They bring a funky spiel that makes us feel

The Chili Peppers have baby appeal

The funk mobile is the one we wheel

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal

We serve those tots in the funk mobile

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal, so get down

[Interlude]

Got the tunes in my box

[Bridge]

Baby appeal, rock out

Play the chili, play the chili, play the chili

Yea, we're called the Red… Hots

[Verse 1]

On the city streets, I got the tunes in my box

I'll play the Chili Peppers so the public can rock

Excuse me mister, won't you hear my thoughts?

I play in a band, yeah, we're called the Red Hots

While I'm away, boy, I'm afraid not

I've got no time to think and talk

But this baby rocked out on the spot

She was a-shakin' and a-kickin', that itty bitty tot

Her pops said no, but she just couldn't stop

The kid had a case of toddler rock

[Chorus]

Well here's a funky fact that I know is real

The Red Hots have baby appeal

They bring a funky spiel that makes us feel

The Chili Peppers have baby appeal

The funk mobile is the one we wheel

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal

We serve those tots in the funk mobile

I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal

Buckle Down Lyrics

[Verse]

Hot off the ice, no hole in my soul

We're men, not mice, no stopping my roll

Hot, yeah twist, red star, black fist

Work, play more, just turn me loose

[Chorus]

I know what's right in life, you better buckle down

Don't give up the fight in life, you better buckle down

Trail blaze with might in life, you better buckle down

Live dreams tonight in life, you better buckle down

'Cause I know what's right!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse]

Hot off the ice, no hole in my soul

We're men, not mice, no stopping my roll

Hot, yeah twist, red star, black fist

Work, play more, just turn me loose

[Chorus]

I know what's right in life, you better buckle down

Don't give up the fight in life, you better buckle down

Trail blaze with might in life, you better buckle down

Live dreams tonight in life, you better buckle down

'Cause I know what's right!

[Outro]

I know, I know, I know what's right

Get Up and Jump Lyrics

[Intro]

Get up and jump, get up and jump

Get up, get up, get up and jump

A-jump on up, a-jump on down

Just jump-a-jump-a-jump-a-jump-a-jump around

Jump the day away, jump all over town

'Cause jumpin' is okay in a jumpin' kinda way, hey-ey

[Verse 1]

Jump a boy, jump a girl, jump a rope, jump for joy

Just don't stop jumpin', keep your heart muscle pumpin'

Hillel be jumping on that little baby Frumpkin

Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants

Yeah but when you're just standing or sitting still

Will you think about the frogs getting a thrill

Take a little lesson from the kangaroos

A-don't you know they're jumping foos, jump you

Jump a nun, jump a Jack, jump for fun, jump back

Well how's about us jumping in the sack?

A-but now, it's time for a jump attack

[Chorus]

Get up and jump, get up and jump

Get up and jump, jump, get up and jump

Get up and jump, get up and jump (Okay, hoo, hoo)

[Verse 2]

Jam-a-Bob-a-Jim-a-Bob, Slim-a-Bob-a-Boogie

To the tune of Slim-a-Billy, lookin' like you're mighty silly

Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants

A-Mister Mexican jumpin' bean

Knows his fun is squeaky clean

Christ, how'd you think that he got so lean

Not from sittin' on his goddamn spleen, get up

Oh, I be jumpin', I be jumpin', I be jumpin' alone

I be jumpin' for the phone, I be jumpin' Mrs. Jones

I really want to jump on Kinski's bones

[Chorus]

Get up and jump, get up and jump

Get up and jump, get up and jump (Ow)

Get up and jump, jump, get up and jump (Ahh! *laughter*)

Get up and jump, get up and jump (Oh-ho)

Get up and jump, get up and jump (Wahh!)

Get up and jump, get up and jump ([?])

Get up and jump, get up and jump (Alright)

Get up and jump, get up and jump ([?])

[Outro]

Jam-a-Bob-a-Jim-a-Bob, Slim-a-Bob-a-Boogie

To the tune of Slim-a-Billy, looking like you're mighty silly

Say what, you got a pumpkin in your pants

Why Don’t You Love Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Why don't you love me like you used to do?

How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

So why don't you love me like you used to do?

Why don't you spot me like you used to do?

When you whisper sweet nothings like you used to do

I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through

So why don't you love me like you used to do?

[Verse 2]

Ow, why don't you be the way you used to be?

How come you find so many faults with me?

Somebody changed, so let me give you a clue

Why don't you love me like you used to do?

Why don't you say the things you used to say?

How come you treat me like a piece of clay?

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

So why don't you love me like you used to do?

[Chorus]

(Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'

In a long, long while

We don't get nearer, further, closer

Than a country mile)

Had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'

In a long, long while

We don't get nearer, further, closer

Than a country mile, let me tell ya boy

[Verse 1]

Why don't you love me like you used to do?

How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

So why don't you love me like you used to do?

And why don't you spot me like you used to do?

When you whisper sweet nothings like you used to do

I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through

So why don't you love me like you used to do?

[Verse 2]

Ow, why don't you be the way you used to be?

How come you find so many faults with me?

Somebody changed, so let me give you a clue

Why don't you love me like you used to do?

Why don't you say the things you used to say?

How come you treat me like a piece of clay?

My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue

So why don't you love me like you used to do?

[Chorus]

(Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'

In a long, long while

We don't get nearer, further, closer

Than a country mile)

Had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'

In a long, long while

We don't get nearer, further, closer

Than a country mile

Green Heaven Lyrics

[Verse 1]

About this planet, there is something I know

There's a very big difference between above and below

A friend, foe, or bro, leave your body on the floor

Let your spirit fly away like the soul of a crow

Here, above land, man has laid his plan

And yes, it does include the Ku Klux Klan

We got a government so twisted and bent

Bombs, tanks, and guns is how our money is spent

We got V.D., heroin, greed, and prostitution

Tension, aggravation, L. Ron Hubbard solution

Not to mention hardcore chemical pollution

If you think a different way, you're in a mental institution

And that's a heart felt shame

'Cause everyone's crazy, everyone's the same

So, why should only Larry, Curly and Moe be to blame?

[Interlude]

(Wow

Ow, ow, ow

Ooh)

[Verse 2]

Time now to take you to a different place

Where peace-loving whales flow through liquid outer space

A-groovin' and a-glidin' as graceful as lace

A never-losing touch with ocean's embrace

Diviner than the dolphin, that there is none

'Cause dolphins just-a like to have a lot of fun

No one tells 'em how their life is run

And no one points at 'em with a gun

They have a lot of love for every livin' creature

The smile of a dolphin is a built-in feature

They be movin' in schools but everyone's the teacher

Someday mister dolphin, I know I'm going to meet ya

[Verse 3]

Back to the land of the police man

Where he does a-whatever he says he can

Including hatin' you because you're a Jew

Or beatin' black ass, that's nothin' new

A trigger-happy cops, they just like to brawl

They use guns, clubs, gas, but that's not all

They got puke-ridden prisons and sex-sick jails

Fuck the poor, if you're rich you pay the bail

So support your police, support your local wars

That's the way to open economic doors

Why do we do it? 'Cause the president's a whore

We assume the position to sell the ammunition

What the fuck? It's the American tradition

Along with goin' fishin', apple pies in the kitchen

Isn't it bitchin' seein' dead men in ditches?

Mommy Where’s Daddy Lyrics

[Intro: Gwen Dickey]

Mommy, where's daddy?

[Verse 1: Anthony Kiedis & Gwen Dickey]

I'm right here, girl

Oh, sweet thing, you look so sad

Cheer up, don't you know your dad is bad?

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Aw, dad

Well, there ain't one problem I can't fix, 'cause

Your daddy's got a big old bag-o-tricks

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Aw, dad

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Gwen Dickey]

Mommy, where's daddy?

[Verse 2: Anthony Kiedis & Gwen Dickey]

Come on, sit on your daddy's lap 'cause

I'm the one who pats yo' back

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Aw, dad

Well, lemme see now where to begin

Well, lemme start by tuckin' you in

Give daddy a kiss, girl

Aw, dad

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Gwen Dickey]

Mommy, where's daddy?

Out in L.A. Lyrics

[Refrain]

We're all a bunch of brothers living in a cool way

Along with six million others in this place called L.A

[Verse 1]

L.A. is the place, sets my mind ablaze

For me, it's a race through a cotton-pickin' maze

The town makes me jump, it's got a bunch of bad chicks

Well sure, it's got some chumps, but I still get my kicks

My body loves to scrump when I lick the ripe pick

Alike dump on a thumb, pop hump, hump, hump, pop out

[Bass Solo]

[Verse 2]

The action never stops, I'm as wild as can be

Because I'm shooting for the top, and my best friend's a Flea

Oom Chucka Willy knew the balls could pop

But he never met the tree, so he never bebopped, hop out

[Verse 3]

Antoine the Swan, from the pretty fish pond

Was a bad mother jumper, you could tell he was strong

Wore a cold paisley jacket and a hella fine ass

In between his legs was a sweet young lass

Threw a hundred women up against the wall

And he swore to fear that he'd love them all

By the time he got to ninety-nine, he had to stop

'Cause that's when he thought that he heard a fop

Last night and the night before

I heard a fop outside, then I came indoors, rock out!

[Verse 4]

Now that I told ya somethin' about the Flea

Somethin' 'bout the tree, a little somethin' 'bout me

I can't leave you hanging 'bout my man Sherm Zee

He swings the ying, he bangs the yang

And now, it's time to hear him do his thang

You better be burnin' Sherman!

[Guitar Solo]

[Refrain]

We're all a bunch of brothers living in a cool way

Along with six million others in this place called L.A

Step out!

Police Helicopter Lyrics

[Verse]

Aw!

Police helicopter sharking through the sky

Police helicopter landin' on my eye, yeah!

Police helicopter takes a nosedive

Police helicopter, no, he ain't shy, yeah!

Police helicopter sharking through the sky

Police helicopter landin' on my eye, uh!

Police helicopter don't take nosedive

Police helicopter, no, he ain't shy, yeah!

Ahh!
