 "Prologue"
Quarks, gluons, red giants, white dwarfs, big bang
There are eight billion tales in the naked universe
This is just one of them
But, they all have black holes

A creative nuisance
Recognizing stupidity as a positive force
A positive nuisance



 "Pin The Tail On The Funky (Gloryhallastoopid)"
Oh! 
Being aware of the non-ending condition of our radically non-logical necessary
And yet free and responsible nature
It is not only our compulsion
But it is our duty to our booty 
To funk you!

Cheaper than discount family therapy
We bring you funk on a couch
>From the doctor
Gloryhallastoopid
Pin the tail on the funky
I can assure this is the beginning of a meaningful relationship
Gloryhallastoopid
Pin the tail on the funky
That fuss was us!
Gloryhallastoopid
Pin the tail on the funky
Multiple reality producing rhythms brings you gloryhallastoopid
Gloryhallastoopid
Pin the tail on the funky
A tale where the nose win in the end
That fuss was us
In the tail end, if you know what I mean

Oh! That fuss was us
He's got a bug, she's got a bug
Debugging, baby
That fuss was us
They bug you, they bug your friends
Until they bug you out
That fuss was us
Yeah, call us the pest control
(Gloryhallastoopid
Pin the tail on the funky)
Yeah, Starchild here
(Gloryhallastoopid
Pin the tail on the funky)
Bringing it to you all the way live
>From deep in the black hole
I'm here with my man, Wellington Wigout
Who says, "If you move, you're dancing
If you're dancing, you're wiggin'
And if you're wiggin', then he's wiggin' out
Gloryhallastoopid
Pin the tail on the funky
And when it comes to making love
He says he's the disco version 
He is the long-playing lover, heh-heh
Wellington Wigout

{assorted backwards-recorded nonsense}

This is Wellington Wigout
And I'm buggin' for you, baby

Oh!
That fuss was us
We are deep in the black hole
Light years away from a hole in it all
Partyin' down
That fuss was us
We found time to shine
In a place that never shined before
Oh, 
Enlightened, peek-a-boo!
Bustin'
With my battery-operated see-you
That fuss was us (x5)

Gloryhallastoopid

Ohhhh, ohhhh

Gloryhallastoopid

 "Colour Me Funky"
Nothing has changed (la, la, la)
Even the bang remains the same
(in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
We still needs to funk
(in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo-woo
Nothing has changed (nothing has changed)
(in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Or is the way that you picture me
(in the pocket, right smack there in the socket)
Colored by the way you've been treated in a situation that comes to mind
Nothing has changed except for you and I
Oh, no no no
Please don't let the lights that blind
Change the way you see me
Don't let it change the way you see me
There's a lot of time to move from town to town
Lots of time to move from town to town
Very seldom, I can settle down
And I can't settle down
No, no

(right smack dab in the socket)

We need the bomb (in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)
Gots to have the bomb (got to have the funk)

We need the bomb (in the pocket, right smack dab in the socket)

Oh, no
Nothing has changed
Except for you and I
Please don't let the lights that blind 
Change the way you see me (don't you change the way you see me)

There's a lot of time
To go from town to town

 "Theme From The Black Hole"
A toast to the booty
Feel that, do that
For how else can you capture a boogie
If you don't attack from the back
To the rear, march!

My name is the one
Some people call me the funk 
Here's a toast to the boogie!
Said my name is the one
Some people call me the funk, oh!
I'll toast to that!
And when I find a vacant booty
I move right in on the rump, ooh!
I'm like a camel
Humpin' to please
I'm up to my hump in funk, yeah
Here's a toast to the boogie!

I've got jam in my knee
And I'm ready to spread
All around the world for the funk
I'll toast to that!
We don't cut in
We just butt in
So baby, may I have this dance?

Here's a toast to the boogie!
We'll dance to that
Bottoms up!

I'll toast to that (x2)
Bottoms up!

Ahhhh
Here's a toast to the boogie
We'll funk to that, bottoms up
 (x2)

Oww, my name is the one
Some people call me the funk
Here's a toast to the boogie
Said my name is the one
Some people call me the funk
I'll toast to that
And when I find a vacant booty
I move right in on the rump (move in on the rump)
I'm like a camel
Double-humpin' to please
I am up to my hump in my funk
Here's a toast to the boogie
I've got jam in my knees
And I'm ready to spread
All around the world for the funk (x2)

I am Sir Nose
D'Voidoffunk (double-humpin' to please)
And I will never dance (ahhhhhhhhh)
Prepare to meet your end, Starchild
For a tail is nothing but a long booty
And this is a tale that I win in the end
And I have pinned the tail on the funky
And you shall dwell in the maze of the mule forever, Starchild
Oh, mule-mo, oh duckypuss, Starchild!
Ahh, hahahaha
Humdrum, tweedle-dee-dee dum, Starchild!
And I have made a jackass out of the funk, hahahahaha
Oh, mule-mo, oh duckypuss
I, Sir Nose D'Voidoffunk
Shall never dance!
Ah hahahahaha
Yo ho, yourself, Starchild
Where's your Flash Light?
Where's your Bop Gun?
Where's the Doctor, Starchild?
Better tell him to come and make me a house call, Starchild!
Haa!
Oh, mule-mo, oh duckypuss
