Lyrics
Well, I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood Hills
The farther west – the farther out
Yea that's the way I feel
Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust
I barbecue my mealsRiding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood Hills, yea
Huh, Hollywood HillsWell, I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood Hills
Just don't show me anything
'Cause that's the way I feel
Well I dig the dirt and I dig the dust
I barbecue my mealsRiding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood Hills, yea
Huh, Hollywood HillsPassion dripping from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies
Pale face dieTrue men don't kill coyotes
True men don't kill coyotesWell, I'm gonna ride a sabertooth horse
Through the Hollywood Hills
The farther west – the farther out
Yea that's the way I feel
Well, I dig the dirt and I dig the dust
I barbecue my mealsRiding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood Hills, yeah...
Huh, Hollywood HillsPassion dripping from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies
Pale face dieTrue men don't kill coyotes
True men don't...Well, 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 mealsRiding wild on a paisley dragon
Through the Hollywood Hills, yea
Huh, Hollywood HillsPassion dripping from the coyote's eyes
He can taste his blood
And blood never lies
Pale face dieTrue men don't kill coyotes
True men don't...
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't...
True men don't kill coyotes
True men don't... -
play songshow lyrics Baby Appeal
Lyrics
On the city streets I got the tunes in my pocket
I'll play the Chili Pepper so the public can rock
Excuse me mister won't you hear my thoughts
I play in a band yea we're called the Red Hots
Out of my way 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 pop said no but she just couldn't stop
The kid had a case of toddler rockWell here's a funky fact that I know is real
The Red Hots have baby appeal
They dig a funky speil, yea it makes them squeal
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-o-meal
I'm overjoyed we have baby appealWe stoke the fire we crank the heat
4 groove dog brothers funkin’ out in the street
Rockin’ up a storm when who do we meet
But the hop, skip, jump, bumpin’ baby de beat
She was a shakin' and a kickin' those itty bitty feet
The next thing you know she called out her fleet
5000 babies rockin’ out in the street
That's a serious sight I mean golly, gee whiz
I just can't tell you how much we dig
Rock out for those itty, bitty kidsWell here's a funky fact that I know is real
The Red Hots have baby appeal
They dig a funky speil, yea make them squeal
The Chili Peppers have baby appeal
The funk mobile is the one we reel
I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal
We serve those tots in the funk-o-meal
I'm overjoyed we have baby appeal, so get downGot the tunes in my box...
Baby appeal...
Rock out…
Play the Chili, play the Chili, play the Chili...
Yes we're called the Red...Hots...On the city streets I got the tunes in my box
I play the Chili Pepper so the public can rock
Excuse me mister won't you hear my thoughts
I play in a band yea we're called the Red Hots
Out of my way 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 pop said no but she just couldn't stop
The kid had a case of toddler rockWell here's a funky fact that I know is real
The Red Hots have baby appeal
They dig a funky speil they'll make some squeal
I say the Peppers have baby appeal
The funk mobile is the one we reel
I'm overjoyed we have baby appeal
We serve those tots in the funk-o-meal
I'm overjoyed, we have baby appeal -

Jump around – jump the day away

Say what you got a pumpkin in your pantsWhen you’re standing or sitting still
Think about the frogs getting a thrill
Take a little lesson from the kangaroos
A don’t you know they’re jumpin’ foos
Jump youJump a nun – jump a jack
Jump for fun – jump back
A how’s about us jumpin’ the sack
Now it’s time for a jump attackGet up and jump

play songshow lyrics Green Heaven
Lyrics
About this planet there is something I know
There’s a very big difference between
Above and below
Friend foe or bro leave your body on the floor
Let your spirit fly away like the
Soul of a crowHere 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 is crazy, everyone’s the same
So why should only Larry, Curly,
And Moe be to blameTime now to take you to a different place
Where peace loving whales flow through
Liquid outer space
Groovin’ and glidin’ as graceful as lace
Never losing touch with the ocean’s embrace
Diviner than the dolphin that there is none
‘Cause dolphins justa 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 living 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 youBack to the land of the police man
Where he does whatever he says he can
Including hating you because you’re a Jew
Or beating black ass that’s nothing new
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 going fishin’ apple pies in the kitchen
Isn’t it bitchin’ seeing dead men in ditches -

play songshow lyrics Out In L.A.
Lyrics
We’re all a bunch of brothers
Livin’ in a cool way
Along with six million others
In this place called L.A.L.A.’s the place sets my mind ablaze
For me its a race through a cotton
Pickin’ mazeThe town makes me jump its got a lot
Of bad chicks
Well sure its got some chumps but I still
Get my kicks
My body loves to scrump when I lick
The ripe pick
Like a thump on a thumb poppin’ hump
Hump hump pop outThe action never stops I’m as wild as can be
‘Cause I’m shooting for the top and my
Best friend’s Flea
Oom Chucka Willy knew that balls could pop
But he never met the tree so he never
Bebopped hop outAntwan the swan from the pretty fish pond
Was a bad mother jumper
You could tell he was strong
He wore a cold paisley jacket
And a hellified ass
And between his legs was a sweat young lass
He threw a hundred women up against the wall
And he swore to fear that he’d love them all
But by the time he got to 99 he had to stop
‘Cause that’s when he thought
That he heard a fop
Night and the night before
I heard a fop outside then I
Came in doors rock outNow I told you a little
Somethin’ ‘bout the Flea
Something ‘bout the tree
A little something ‘bout me
I can’t leave you hangin’
‘Bout my man Sherm Zee
He swings the ying, he bangs the yang
Now its time to hear him do his thang
You better be burnin’ ShermanWe’re all a bunch of brothers livin’
In a cool way
Along with six million others in this
Place called L.A.
Step out -
