LET THERE BE ZEP by Len Callo 2005

Summer of '77 I went to see Led Zeppelin
had a vile of liquid acid and my old mans credit card
went blazin' up w/ Hair Bear and K-dog met us up there
with Mulls and Chris Blevins and Debbie Alvarez

been smokin' from a plastic power hitter -
no jokin' the trails were comin' strong
drinkin whiskey beer and tequilla
the music fueled the party on

we’re bakin' in the California Sunshine
Judahs Priest got booed off stage
Big trails at the Oakland Coliseum
Derringer stole the show that day

Chorus:
3 hours we waited for the Zeppelin
3 hours we waited for them to play
the trails swirled in the California clouds
3 hours somethin' went wrong that day

Turns out one of Bill Grahms flunkies
slapped Peter Grants 10 year old son
Grant 'n' Bohnam flew in a drug fueled rage
And a severe bloody beating had begun

Cops came in Grant 'n' Bohnam went downtown
while 60 thousand baked away
3 hours waitin' for Led Zeppelin
Derringer stole the show that day

Chorus

Spoken:
The cops 'n' Bill Grahm new if the show didn't go on
they would have one ugly riot on their hands
So,without droppin' the charges they O.R.d the 2
and got 'em back to do the show
I remember flying on acid me 'n' Debbie Alvarez inched through the crowd
I remember howling with laughter looking at Bill Grahm ON STAGE
with Zep. I mean he was off to side as if he was watching from the
wings
but he was fully OUT ON THE STAGE.
It wasn't 'till later that we would learn of the bizarre story
behind the scenes.

I remember people pointing and laughing and screaming
"what an egomaniacal sonofabitch!" It was truly a farce to behold
And while it was hard to agrue against what a jerk Bill Grahm was
he DID bring a lot fun times and great bands hisDay on the Green shows
Over the years we saw Ronnie Van Zant and Lynyrd Skynryd
Bon Scott and AC/CD. Rory Gallahger Jethrothe Who Tull
Johnny and Edgar Winter Pin Floyd and as it turned out,
that was the last show Zepplin ever played in the U.S.
So what the fuck


Volcano by Len Callo 7-9-08

The night was gettin' bright by the light of the moon
Things would get much brighter on this night very soon
But I never knew just how - or just how true

The Goddess filled the sky with a pillar of smoke
But I realized I still had hope
to maybe leave behind an encouraging word or 2

(Chorus)
(and then) there was FIRE IN THE SKY!
and in the Goddess eye
The natives never saw it coming
They could only wave goodbye


Clutching my axe I just ran down the road
Looking back to see the Volcano explode
Yes it was too true - the blue island blew

Fire and brimstone rained down on all
Against this mountain we were all too small
That's when I knew what I had to do

(Chorus)
-solo-

I climbed up the cliff to the Temple above
and prayed to the Goddess to show her love
and spare the helpless people down in the village below

That's when the clouds burst open with rain
and put out the fires and the villagers pain
The people were safe but she left the lava to flow

(Ch)
There was FIRE IN THE SKY
and in the Goddess eye
The natives praised the Goddess Pele
who didn't let them die

There was FIRE IN THE SKY
the Goddess had to cry
She gave her worst then took mercy
and couldn't say goodbye
THESE OLD SHOES by Len Callo 2006

These old shoes
There ain't much tread left on
These old shoes
The leather's worn and cracked on
These old shoes

Oh but the places they have been
The stories they could tell
Been to Hell and back again
and wearin' it quite well

These old shoes
behold the tortured sole on
These old shoes
the road beneath them BURNS in
these old Shoes

But there's no need to shed a tear
they've carried on so long
Although for them the end is near
the road continues on

SOLO

Remember well how they wore on
when looking at your self
It's better to have traveled on
than sit there on a shelf

These old shoes
It's time to say goodbye to
These old shoes
nothin' left to lose in
These old Shoes

SIBLEY by Len Callo 2006

Had a cruel nasty women
All she do is treat me mean
She was ruthless and so evil
like no one I ever seen
When she swung at me with a sickle
I pushed her in the cotton bale machine

They found me at the delta
Tracked me down with a bloodhound dog
Right there at the water
Bitten hard by that dirty dog
I was cryin' and a shakin'
deep inside a hollow log

They gonna hang me in the mornin'
Hang me high from the old elm tree
With the howlin' wind blowin'
Swinging there for all to see
But I know I'll go to Heavan
only the Lord will have mercy for me

SIT ON MY FACE TONIGHT by Bill McKay and Len Callo 1980/2006

I met a young lady down in San Jose
I told the young lady that I needed a lay
She had a nice face but we needed a place
I said "Oh baby wont you sit on my face"

Baby baby sit on my face tonight

I took her to a place out on highway 9
I'm tellin' you people this lady was fine
She got on my case 'cause I wanted 4th base
I said "Oh baby wont you sit on my face"

Baby baby sit on my face tonight

chorus: Sit on my face tonight (repeat)

I met a young lady down in San Jose
I told the young lady I was BIL McKAY!
She had a nice face but we needed a place
I said "Oh baby wont you sit on my face"

Baby baby sit on my face tonight

chorus: Sit on my face tonight (repeat)

DEVIL'S PECKER ROAD by Len Callo 2002

In 1827
from the mountain to the town
the people there would build a road for going up and down
But greedy Jim O'Flanery
made the tressel much too weak
and 7 townsmen perished falling 700 feet

The people they took umbrage
with old O'Flanery
so they hung him from his tressel for all the town to see
He swore as he was dyin'
there was one thing he would do
"When I get back from Hell I'll stick the Devil's dick in you."

They called it Devil's Pecker Road Devil's Pecker Road
7 and O'Flanery on Devil's Pecker road

In 1847
On the mountain they found "GOLD"!
but mysteries would happen there on Devil's Pecker Road
5 would die by fire
The quake took 40 more
Any man who touched the gold payed for it with his soul

On Devil's Pecker Road, Devil's Pecker Road
Touch the gold and lose your soul on Devil's Pecker Road

In 1957
Betty-Sue met Bobby-Joe
The drove up Devil's Pecker just to be alone
While balling in the back seat
they felt an awful chill
and then their Chevy drove away with no one at the wheel

Down Devil's Pecker Road, Devil's Pecker Road
The Devil and O'Flanery drive Devil's Pecker Road
I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU STINK
(formerly I DONT DRINK) by Len Callo 1982

IT WAS A QUARTER TO 3
IN HER 280 Z
WHEN SHE LOOKED AT ME
AND SAID "HEY HONEY
TRY SOME STEAMING TEA
FROM MY RAGING SEA"
LOOKED LIKE V.D.
I SAID "NO NOT ME"

ch:
I SAID "NO THANKS. I DON'T DRINK.
I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU STINK
OH NO NONE FOR ME
YOU AINT QUITE MY CUP O' TEA"

AND THEN SHE TOOK OFF HER PANTS
AND THEN SHE TOOK OFF HER SHIRT
AND THEN SHE TOOK OUT A KNIFE
JUST SCRAPE OFF THE DIRT
AND THEN I STARTED TO GAG
AND THEN I STARTED TO CHOKE
AND THEN I STARTED TO THINK
THIS WAS NO JOKE

I SAID "NO THANKS. I DON'T DRINK.
I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU STINK
OH NO NONE FOR ME
YOU AINT QUITE MY CUP O' TEA"

solo

AND THEN LATER ON
IWAS SITTIN' AT HOME
WAITIN' ALL ALONE
RIGHT BY THE TELEPHONE
THAT'S WHEN MY BABY CALLED
NEEDED TO BE BALLED
SAID "GET ON YER MEAN MACHINE
DON'T FORGET THE VASALINE"
SO KICKED MY HOG
AND I SPLIT MY PAD
WITH MY SHADES AND SUADES
I WAS LOOKIN' BAD
I GOT TO HER PLACE
SHE SAT ON MY FACE
IT WAS LIKE SNORTIN' MACE
I WAS IN OUTER SPACE
SCREAMIN' BABY PLEASE
GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES
AND TASTE MY DISEASE
SHE SAID "NO THANK YOU PLEASE!"

I SAID "NO THANKS. I DON'T DRINK.
I DON'T LIKE THE WAY YOU STINK
OH NO NONE FOR ME
YOU AINT QUITE MY CUP O' TEA"
ABDUCTEE by Karl Gray 2005

Rolling down a Panhandle back road.
Long about half passed Ten.
Bright lights commin hard and fast.
Thought it was the cops, better think again.
Laying face down in the gravel
Was about the next thing I known.
Crawled back to my ol' Chevy truck.
But all four tires, they was blown.

Chorus:
Wife want's to know how I got them scars.
Daughter wonders why I just stare at the stars.
My friends all think something’s wrong with me.
I just keep askin‘… how on earth can this be?

Lost my job at the Foundry.
Lost all of my friends.
Doctor says nothing’s wrong with me.
The truth will come out in the end.
I guess it's just our little secret.
Them and what they made out of me.
Townsfolk laugh and talk behind my back
“There goes the abductee”

Chorus: Solo

Well I don't remember no details.
But when I drift off late at night.
I dream of that Panhandle back road.
And going away with them lights.

Chorus

MANKUTA MAN and GERBIL BOY by Len Callo and Jon Mankuta 2006

Intro/Chorus: Mankuta Man and Gerbil Boy
-Repeat-

Jonathan was quiet boy Workin’ in a Porno Store
He never got any action though Life was a total bore

One Day He and his Gerbil fell in To Vat of Radioactive K.Y.
Jon’s Penis grew and his Gerbal did too And now the both of them Fly

CHORUS:
(now here Cums) Mankuta Man and Gerbil Boy
Repeat

Vowing to use his Super Penis to defend the world of porn,
On that day Mankuta Man and Gerbil Boy WERE BORN...!!!
But Twisted Rev. Cantaloni from the Christian Coalition
Made Wiping out Pornagraphy his Twisted Holy Mission

They squared off to Battle in the middle of Times Square
Mankuta-Man’s super Penis ready to Destroy
Then a Video came on the Screen overhead
Showed the Reverend diddling a little boy
This revelation exposed him to the crowd
And took Reverend Canteloni by surprise
Then Mankuta-Man shot a mighty blast from his cock
Hit the Reverend right between the Eyes!
CHORUS:
The Crowd was cheering as they took the Reverend away
“The world of Porn is safe for now” Mankuta-Man would say

But where is Gerbil Boy in all of this commotion?
“I’m over here” he said “with the Video in slow Motion”

CHORUS:

And so for now the world is safe
to see what they wish to see
but beware boy's 'n' girls there are people out there
who never want you to be free

Chorus
Solo
