Paroles
Billy was a mountain
Ethel was a tree growing off of his shoulder
Billy was a mountain
Billy was a mountain
Ethel was a tree growing off of his shoulder
Ethel was a tree growing off of his shoulder
(hey, hey, hey!)
Billy had two big
Caves for eyes
With a cliff for a jaw
That would go up or 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 up a boulder.
Now, one day, and I believe it was on tuesday, a man in checkered double-knit
suit drove up in large el dorado cadillac leased from bob spreene (where the
freeways meet in downey!)
He laid a huge bulging envelope right at the corner of billy the mountain,
that was right where his foot was supposed to be. now billy the mountain,
he couldn’t believe it: all those postcards h Osed for, for all of those years, and finally, now at last, his royalties!
royalties, royalties, royalties! the royalty check is in, honey! …
yes, billy the mountain was rich! yes,
His eyeball caves, they widened in amazement… and his jaw, which was a cliff,
well it … it dropped thirty feet! a bunch of dust puffed out …
rocks and boulders hacked up, hack! hack! … c Ng the lincoln …
I gave him the money
He acted real funny
He hacked up a rock and
It totaled my car
Oh do you
Know any trucks
Might be bound for the valley
I don’t wanna stand here
All night in this bar
(dear lord)
I don’t wanna stand here
All night in this bar
(no shit)
I don’t wanna stand here
All night in this bar
By two o’clock, when bars had already closed down, billy had broken the big
news to ethel, ahhhh, and with dust and boulders everywhere, billy,
choked with exitement, announced: ethel, we'
Ing on a vacation… yes, and they were going on a vacation, oh, and ethel,
ethel, ethel, like any little woman, she of course was very excited …
she creaked a little bit, and some old
Flew off of her. billy told ethel they were going to… yes, they where 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 and 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 neat-o, glad we could have a vacation this year.
They left that night, crunchin' across the mojave desert, their voices echoing
thru the canyons of your minds… ethel, wanna get a cuppa cawfee?
howard johnson’s, ahhh there’s a howard jo
's! … wanna eat some clams? …
The first noteworhty 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
T when test stand number one and the rocket sled itself got lunched,
I said lunched, by a famous mountain and his small wooden wife …
Word just in to the kttv news service undeniably links this mountain and his
wife to drug abuse and payoffs as part of san joaquin valley smut ring.
however, we can assure parents in the s Rn california area that a recent narcotic crackdown in torrence … hawthorne.
. lomita … westchester … playa del rey … santa monica … tujunga …
sunland … san fernando … pacoima.
Lmar … newhall … canoga park … palmdale … glendale … irwindale …
rolling hills … granada hills … shadow hills … cheviot hills …
will provide the secret evidence the palmdale
Jury has needed to seek a criminal indictement and pave the way for stiffer
legislation, increased federal aid, and avert a crippling strike of bartenders
and veterinarians throughout the inlan
Ire …
Within the week, jerry lewis had hosted a telethon (la la la nice lady) to raise funds for the injured, injured, and homeless, homeless in glendale,
as billy had just l Ed it. and a few miles right outside of town billy caused a 'oh mine/my (?
) papa' in the earth’s crust, right over the secret underground dumps,
right near the jack in the box on glenoaks where t Eep the pools of old poison gas and obsolete germs bombs, just as a freak
tornado cruised through … yes, it was about three o’clock in the afternoon
when little howard kaplan was sitting on hi Ch (toto!!!) just playing (come here, toto !!!) and having a nice time with
his little accordion, (toto!!!) and this weird wind came up, direct from glen
Blowing those terrible germs in his direction … and all this caused by huge
mountain (aunty em) somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly, sucking up two-thirds of it (suck, suc
Ck) for an ultimetly dispersal over vast stretches of … watts!!!
Now, unless I misunderstood, it was right outside of columbus, ohio when billy
received his notice to report for his induction physical. now lemme tell ya,
ethel said, now ethel, ethel said she
T gonna let him go … I’m not gonna let you go, billy … that’s right,
we now have confirmed reports from an informed orange county minister that
ethel is still an active communist
It is this reporter’s opinion that she also practices covent witch-craft …
It was about this time that the telephone rang inside of the secret briefcase
belonging to one mortal man who might be able to stop all of this senseless
destruction and save america herself. an Sorry to disappoint some of you, it was not chief redden. this one man was
studebacher hoch, fantastic new super hero of the current economic slump.
now, some folks say he looked like zubin meh
Ubin mehta); still others say bullshit, honey, it was just another greasy guy
who happened to be born next to the frozen beef pies at boney’s market…
; still others say pshaw/
(?), and piss on you, jack, he’s just a crazy iatlian who drove a red car …
you see, nobody ever really knew for sure because studebacher was sooooo
mysterious …
He was so (he was so, he was so) mysterious
He was so (he was so, he was so) mysterious
'cuz when a person gets to be such a hero, folks
And marvelouse 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
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 … amazed …
Time passed. january, february, march, july, wednesdey, august, irwindale,
two-thirty in the afternoon, sunday, monday, funny cars, walnuts,
city of industry, big john masamanian … so when the
E ring in the secret briefcase, a strong masculine hand with a dudley do-right
wristwatch and flexy braclet grabbed it and answered in a deep, calmly assured
voice: so… ah… yeah, yeah
Already … what? … well, yeah? … ah-are you kidding? … you’re not
kidding … a mountain … with a tree growing off of it’s shoulder?
aw, you’re fulla shit, man… ah listen, by the way,
Re you go on; did you get those white albums I sent ya with the pencil on the
front, yeah? yeah, you should move some of those for me … we’re having a lot
of,…listen, so kiss little jakee on Head… and how’s your wife’s hemorrhoids? …ah, that’s too bad… listen…
so you’ve got a mountain, with a tree, listen, causing… well, let me write
this down… sorta take a few notes here…
…to el segundo, huh? …causing
Untold destruction.(my baby, my baby)…wanted for draft evasion? …
an expense account? … and per diem, too? …
Some men say he could dance
They said he could dance
And of course they were right …
Ladies and gentelmen, this is it: the studebacher hoch dancing lesson & cosmic
prayer for guidence, featuring aynsley dunbar! … hit it! …
Twirly, twirly, twirly, twirly, twirly, fillmore …
Hey, right hand from a heart
Left hand from a heart
Right hand from a heart
Left hand from a left shoulder
To the heart. fillmore, fillmore …
Nobody can dance like studebacher hoch …
So many rumors have spread about studebacher hoch … consider this rumor which
was published about three weeks ago in rolling stone (oh, it’s gotta be true!
) … studebacher hoch can write th
D’s prayer on the head of a pin! (no!) do-do-do do-do-doot doot do-do-do … …
I’m so hip … beef pies … he was born next to the beef pies,
underneath joni mitchell’s autographed pict
Right beside elliot robert’s big bank book, next to the boat where crosby
flushed away all his stash and the cops got him in the boat and drove away,
to the can where neil young slipped another
[ frozen? ?? pie
Frozen? ?? pie
Frozen? ?? pie
And that was the main influence on him
The influence of a frozen beef pie ]
Boldly springing into action he phoned his wife who ran a modeling school,
whereupon he… yes, he ran around the back of the broadway at hollywood
boulevard and vine to see if he could find him
Some big, large, unused cardboard boxes (no shit!)… after which he hit up the ralph’s on sunset for some aunt jemima syrup, some kaiser boiler foil and
pair of blunt sissors, yeah! … yes,
N the parking lot of ralph’s … where no prices are lower prices than ralph’s.
. in the parking lot of ralph’s, in between a pair of customized trucks where
nobody was looking, he cut out some
Y, really, really nice wings and he covered them thoroughly with foil …
Then he took those wings and wedged one under each of his powerful arms and
sneaked into a telephone booth .yes, yes! and then he shut the fucking door!.
. and he pulled down his blue denim po An-type trouser pants, and he spread even amounts of aunt jemima maple syrup
all over the inside of his legs! … soon the booth was filling with flies (
help me! help me! help me!) … he held
The legs of his boxer shorts so they could all get in, and when each and every
one of those little cocksucking flies had gone into his pants and they were
lapping up all that maple syrup, he be Er and he put his head between his legs and he said in a very clear, impressive,
ron-hubbard-type voice: new york… and the booth and everything lifted up,
out of parking lot, and i He sky.
Studebacher hoch
Yeah, yeah,
Studebacher hoch
Studebacher hoch
Studebacher hoch
Yeah, yeah,
Studebacher hoch
Studebacher hoch
He’s coating his legs
With aunt jemima syrup up and down
His shorts will be filled with flies
That will be buzzing all around
Studebacher hoch is really outa sight
Studebacher hoch, he does it every night
Studebacher hoch, he treats the flies all right
Studebacher hoch
That’s why they never bite, hey!
Hey please to new york
Fly to new york
He could be a dog
Or a frog
Or a lesbian queen
(fly to new york)
He could be a narc
Or a lady marine
Or he might play dirty
He’s over thirty
Getting old …
I don’t know
His peculiar attire
And the flies he requires
Keep leading him on
'cuz ethel is gone
They keep leading him on
'cuz ethel is gone
And the mountain she’s on And speaking of mountains — - we’ll join studebacher hoch on the edge of billy
the mountain’s mouth. take it away! …
Ah … ya, ya, ya, hey-ah, billy, listen … I’ve come to reason with you …
our great country needs you in the armed forces … your number came up …
ya can’t go on running like this f Ah, but ethel just shook her twigs angrily. but studebacher hoch, calm, cool,
collected and unperturbed, continued:
Ya, well listen … listen you communist sonofabitch … you better get your
ass down there for your fuckin' physical or I’ll see to it that you get used
for fill dirt in some impending ne Sey marsh reclamation … and your girlfiend there will wind up disguised as series of brooms, primative ironing boards or a dog house … get the (cough,
cough) get the picture?
Ya, well billy just laughed:
Ha, ha, ha. if they think they’re gonna draft me, they’re crazy.
Unfortunately, because studebacher hoch was standing on the edge of billy the
mountain’s mouth when the giant mountain laughed … studebacher hoch lost his
footing and fell screaming, two hundr
Et into the rubble below … (aaahhhhh, oh fuck, I’m gonna need a truss …)
Ah listen, that only goes to show you
And it’l show you once again that
A mountain is something you don’t wanna fuck with
You don’t wanna fuck with
Don’t fuck around
Don’t fuck around
Don’t fuck with billy, no And don’t fuck with ethel
You saw what just happened
To the guy with the flies
Don’t fuck around
Don’t fuck around
Don’t fuck around
Don’t fuck around
Don’t fuck around
Don’t fuck around
Don’t fuck around
With biddilly, biddilly
Biddilly the mountain
Eddie, are you kidding?
Eddie, are you kidding?
Oh I forgot to mention this is where we take our intermission.
We will see you in a few minutes
Thank you, we’ll be back.

Billy était une montagne
Ethel était un arbre qui poussait de son épaule
Billy était une montagne
Billy était une montagne
Ethel était un arbre qui poussait de son épaule
Ethel était un arbre qui poussait de son épaule
(hey, hey, hey!)
Billy avait deux gros
Grottes pour les yeux
Avec une falaise pour une mâchoire
Ce serait monter ou descendre
Et chaque fois qu'il n'a
Il bouffait de la poussière
Et pirater un rocher, hack.
Pirater un rocher, pirater, pirater.
Pirater un rocher, pirater, pirater.
Pirater un rocher.
Un jour, et je crois que c'était mardi, un homme en tricot double damier
costume conduit dans le grand El dorado cadillac loué à bob spreene (où le
les autoroutes se rencontrent à downey!)
Il a posé une énorme enveloppe bombée juste au coin de billy la montagne,
c'était là où son pied était censé être. maintenant billy la montagne,
il ne pouvait pas y croire: toutes ces cartes postales, pour toutes ces années, et enfin, maintenant enfin, ses royalties!
les redevances, les redevances, les redevances! le chèque de la royauté est arrivé, chérie! …
Oui, billy la montagne était riche! Oui,
Ses cavernes de globe oculaire, ils se sont élargis dans l'étonnement ... et sa mâchoire, qui était une falaise,
eh bien, il ... il a chuté de trente pieds! un tas de poussière soufflée …
roches et rochers piraté, pirater! hack! ... c Ng le lincoln …
Je lui ai donné de l'argent
Il a agi très drôle
Il a piraté un rocher et
Il a totalisé ma voiture
Oh ne vous
Vous connaissez des camions
Peut être à destination de la vallée
Je ne veux pas rester ici
Toute la nuit dans ce bar
(cher seigneur)
Je ne veux pas rester ici
Toute la nuit dans ce bar
(pas de la merde)
Je ne veux pas rester ici
Toute la nuit dans ce bar
En deux heures, quand les bars avaient déjà fermé, billy avait brisé le grand
nouvelles à ethel, ahhhh, et avec de la poussière et des rochers partout, billy,
étouffé avec exitement, annoncé: ethel, nous'
Ing en vacances... oui, et ils allaient en vacances, oh, et ethel,

S'envola de son. billy a dit à ethel qu'ils allaient... oui, ils allaient où
à new york! ethel, on va à ... new york! mais d'abord, ils allaient l'arrêter
à las vegas…
Il est parti pour las vegas pour vérifier les salons,
Tirez quelques poignées et buvez quelques bières, oh ethel,
Ethel, ma chérie, tu sais que je t'aime,
Je suis content qu'on ait pu passer des vacances Cette année,
Je suis content qu'on ait pu passer des vacances Cette année.
Ils sont partis cette nuit-là, croquant à travers le désert de mojave, leurs voix faisant écho
ethel, tu veux une tasse de café?

Le premier morceau noteworhty de l'immobilier qu'ils ont détruit était edwards Air force

T lorsque le banc d'essai numéro un et le traîneau de fusée lui même a déjeuné,
J'ai dit déjeuné, par une montagne célèbre et sa petite femme en bois …
Mot juste dans le service de nouvelles kttv relie indéniablement cette montagne et son

. dans le parking de ralph, entre une paire de camions personnalisés où

Y, vraiment, vraiment belles ailes et il les a complètement recouvertes de papier d'aluminium …
Puis il prit ces ailes et en plaça une sous chacun de ses puissants bras et
glissé dans une cabine téléphonique .oui, oui! et puis il a fermé la putain de porte!.
