Mayor McGlynn

Mayor McGlynn
met with me on a
Tuesday morning

Told me about
when you first became
Medford's Mayor

He ain't against
a real cool party
that's a true fact

but high on tuft's hill
he brought out the paddy,
the paddy wagon and said...

Keep that shit in somerville!
Keep that shit in somerville!
Keep that shit in somerville!
keep that shit in somerville! (x2)

I never thought
that I could run
for public office

Until I met
the white haired King
the King of Medford

he let us use
the bandshell on
on the mystic

Reach for the stars
and McGlynn will be there
to give you a leg up

(chorus)

and I love
meeting with mayors
and i love
meeting with mcglynn

well let me tell you a story
about a mayor
the mayor of medford
his name is mcglynn, mcglynn etc.!

(chorus)

Mayor Curtatone

you might be the mayor,
but i'm the queen of somerville
i'm the queen of somerville
i'm the queen of somerville.

Curtatone
sounds like macaroni
with marninara
don't let mr. whitey bulger kill me

(chorus)

Curtatone
with your magnificent chandelier
I smoked weed outside your house one day
and then i found out you were the mayor

(chorus)

curtatone
your policy can't be licked
you better be glad that al and theresa
well they live up in your district!

(chorus)

Curtatone
you look so young and fine
if i didn't have a boyfriend
i'd sure as hell make you mine

(chorus)

Pretty, Pretty Kitty

Pretty pretty kitty
pretty pretty kitty
pretty pretty kitty
but not that much! ..

I went to see my baby
he lives in the city
he has a pretty kitty
a pretty pretty kitty

i said to my baby
i don't like your kitty
even though he's friendly
your very friendly kitty

I thought I loved my baby
my very pretty baby
but then i met his kitty
his very pretty kitty

and he said baby baby baby
maybe maybe maybe maybe
we can work it out
oh i'll kick the kitty out

meoooooow
meow meow meow etc.

(chorus)

It's not a long story
in fact it's kinda boring
but this pretty pretty kitty
well his litter was annoying!

and he said baby baby baby
maybe maybe maybe
we can work it out
oh i'll kick the kitty out

But the moral of the story
this tragic kitty story
is that i was allergic
and my baby wasn't sorry!

Then I left my baby
he lives in the city
because a pretty kitty
is a very shitty kitty

meoooowww
etc.

(chorus)

Aces

Aces, Aces, Aces
your ace in the hole
when you want to drink (x1000)

tonight tonight!
javelin!
tonight tonight!
javelin!
we'll drink, we'll drink
til we die!
we'll drink, we'll drink
til we die!

i worry bout my baby
i worry bout my baby..

Her frame's not italian
it's american nightmare
she got that shit on craigslist

she just got a fixed gear
she asked me how to change gears
she wasn't ready for it
she wasn't ready for it

she lives in somerville
the top of summit avenue
the highest hills in boston
the highest hills in boston

riding bikes
in the city of boston
i worry bout my baby
i worry bout my baby

I, I, I, I,
I worry bout, worry bout my baby (x4)

The first time her back wheel
FROZE up like a frigid bitch
she wasn't skidding out
she was just wiping out

she wanted to impress
all the skinny tattooed fixer boys
but they just paid no HEED
but they just paid no mind

she thought she was ready
for massachusetts avenue
she should have took the bus
she should have rode the T

riding bikes
in the city of boston
I worry bout my baby,
I worry bout my baby!

I, I, I, I,
I worry bout, worry bout my baby!(x2)

(Bridge)

Riding Bikes
in the city of Boston
I worry bout my baby
I worry bout my baby (x4)

I, I, I, I,
I worry bout, worry bout my baby!(x4)

Radio Control:

We are, we are
radio controlled
radio controlled
oh oh ooo oh oh...

at the age of six
we put the wires in her veins
didn't know if later on
she'd go insane
insane.

at the age of seven
we admit we questioned our choice
to see her struggle adjusting
wasn't so nice
so nice.

but at the age of eight
on a routine maintenance drill
we knew we'd done her right
straight a's and not on any pills
no pills.

We are, we are
radio controlled
radio controlled
oh oh ooo oh oh...

at the age of twelve
she worked in her daddies shop
though we knew she wouldnt't like that
having to talk
having to talk

at the age of sixteen
we readied her for the prom
didn't know she'd have to
hide her antennas that long
that long

at the age of 18
we knew she had to go to school
a perfect student
hated weed, and alcohol...

We are, we are
radio controlled
radio controlled
oh oh ooo oh oh...

at the age of forty
we knew we had gone to far
but once you sink the hooks in
you feel the fear at every  hour

at the age of fifty
her wires showed a little rust
her brain responded the same
and it was lost to a virus

now we're on our death beds
and we hear the clarion call
wonder who'll take care of her
when her back's up against the wall.

so heed a lesson
if you care about your little youth
let them fly free
or they'll be radio controlled.

We are, we are
radio controlled
radio controlled
oh oh ooo oh oh...

oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh aw oh oh

we are we are
radio control
radio control
radio control...
