Hippo Stomp - Lyrics - Steppenwolf

Title: Hippo Stomp
Artist: Steppenwolf
Composer(s): J Kay, L Byrom, J Edmonton

Lyric:
If I should go astray and say "I lost my way"
Nobody would know me
But if I don't believe I can and still say "Hear my plan"
Somebody would follow just because it's free

We're all Hippos, rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like Hippos slidin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around

Now you can see me lyin' down in my swamp
Any time I feel disgusted
You'll see me do the hippo stomp
Hey, hey, you can try it when you're feelin' blue

If you should go astray and say "I lost my way"
Nobody will know you
But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man"
Somebody will follow just because it's free

We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like Hippos slidin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around

You stop and watch me
While you're out on your midnite romp
And I can feel the silent question
What the heck is the Hippo Stomp?

Let me answer you and let me tell ya true
Just how I feel when I'm down
Sometimes I wonder you'll see me stumblin' around
But you just point and stare

Come on, let me hear you
Somewhere there's a voice down inside
And when you find it let it teach you
How to ask the question 'Why'

Just because we live together, we don't have to like each other
So please don't fall asleep on me again
Nobody, nobody, nobody knows for sure
You just might never wake up from the dream

Hey, speak up, let me hear you, yeah
Let me show you 'round the reservation
I know my way around these parts, I've lived here long enough
Now you can have a taste, an indication of things and times to come

If you should go astray and say "I lost my way"
Nobody will know you
But if you don't believe you can and still say "I'm your man"
Somebody will follow just because it's free

Early in the morning, late at night
Somebody seems to know just how this thing work's right
'Cause every time I come around the corner
Somebody's looking out my door
He's been snoopin' like a hound
I'll grab his neck and shake him on down

We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like Hippos, slidin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around

We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like Hippos, slidin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around

We're all Hippos rollin' down the river
Sometimes we can't touch the ground
Like Hippos, slidin' in the water
Somehow we're stompin' around

Our Lips Are Sealed - Lyrics - Hippos

Title: Our Lips Are Sealed
Artist: Hippos
Composer(s): Terry Hall, Jane Wiedlin

Lyric:
Can you hear them, they talk about us
Tellin' lies, yeah well, that's a surprise
Can you see them? See right through them?
They have a shield, no secrets to reveal

Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play, hey
Our lips are sealed

There's a weapon
That we must use in our defense, silence
When you look at them, look right through them
That's when they'll disappear, that's when we'll be feared

Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play, hey
Our lips are sealed

Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed

Hush my darling, don't you cry
Silent angels, forget their lies

Can you hear them talk about us
Tellin' lies, yeah well, that's a surprise
Can you see them? See right through them?
They have a shield, no secrets to reveal

Doesn't matter what they say
In the jealous games people play, hey
Our lips are sealed

Pay no mind to what they say
It doesn't matter anyway
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed
Our lips are sealed

Always Something There To Remind Me - Lyrics - Hippos

Title: Always Something There To Remind Me
Artist: Hippos
Composer(s): Burt Bacharach, Hal David

Lyric:
I walk along the city streets
You used to walk along with me
And every step I take
Reminds me of just how we used to be

Oh, how can I forget you, girl
When there is always
Something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me

Shadows fall, I pass the small cafe
Where we would dance at night
And I can't help recalling
How it felt to kiss and hold you tight

How can I forget you, girl
When there is always
Something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me

I was born to love her
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Woah, woah, woah

If you should find to miss
The sweet and tender love we used to share
Just go back to the places
Where we used to go and I'll be there

Oh, how can I forget you, girl
When there is always
Something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me

I was born to love her
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me

When there is always
Something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

The Forest - Lyrics - Bulletproof Wallets - Ghostface Killah

Title: The Forest
Album: Bulletproof Wallets
Artist: Ghostface Killah
Composer(s): Dennis Coles, A Maman

Lyric:
I see buds that are green, red roses too
I see the blunts, for me and you
And I say to myself, what a wonderful world

It's the illest little story for all the girls and boys
Wonderland you should see it, chyo
Animated actors that become ya toys
Once you see it, don't believe, chyo

Aiyo, my wiz play the flute, I stroll through the forest like
Peace, pussies, trees, hello, how was your day?
Have you seen the prince?

Haven't seen him since
He pushed Humpty Da-Dumpty fell off the fence
The Smurfs fell out laughin', Heckle toe Jeckle at min
They took my medicade card, he's a good friend

Bugs still sniffin', Daffy Duck snitchin'
And heard that crazy Bird took the stand on the Simpson's
Bet you "My golly, oh glory" with a story to tell
Droopy got knocked, now he Muslim in jail

His name is Abdul, colorful, Snow White tattoo
She used to send him mad flicks in Cash Rule
And the cat too, old girl who's clackin' her shoes
And that wicked witch broke her broom, clappin' at school

It happens every night, I seen it, shoot outs in Jelly stone Park
Kermit had the whip, he did from the Narks
They bagged Woody, Shaggy shot dead in his hoodie
Tweety did the Bird, "I thaw, I thought I thaw a putty"

Ghost, please you don't even want to know
Droopy Long wrote a song, like to hear it, here it go
Ricochet Rabbit had a habit, he was savage
Bruto slapped, Magoto slapped out his glasses backwards

Magelity used to come to class wit rachets
He was known in the hood, plus good for his classics
Slashes, blast four-fifths, diamond cut, hollow point tips
Big Boy bustin' out his corduroy fix
Eleven, way beyond is little boy fit

Magoo, he gon' catch him at the teachers' conference
So later that week durin' open school night
Everybody there, saw open school fight
Blows is big, Olive Oil was pissed
The wolf was too, they murdered one of the pigs

He said, "What great big heat you have"
He replied, "Fuck my gun I'll eat you fast"
He said, "What great big teeth you have"
"Mothafu you better look at all the beef you have"

It's the illest little story for all the girls and boys
Wonderland you should see it, chyo
Animated actors that become ya toys
Once you see it, don't believe, chyo

After that though, Jerry, Tom's the cat, Ruther Rats
Riff rat, courageous cat, Jossie and the Pussycats
Porky Pig ripped shag, Elmer Fudd's double snub cartoon gat
Had sat in the back of the Hat, the hippos had O's
Wilma had fucked Johnny Bravo

Richie had his shit snatched then yapped at a live show
That bitch dollar boated yo, Astro screamed on Dino
That's what he gets for ass-betting Snoopy C-low
Goofy had kilos, big hole in his nose, wind blows

Heard he was Moe, and showed how he rolled
Peter Pan's the man, he heard Grammy was blood-ed
She shot Ms. Piggy, she's superior on her set
Pippy Long Stocking had it poppin'

Her and Barney had an army out in pink house
The shit was rockin', guess who got rich and bounced?
Scrooge McDuck, he had an ounce
Ain't no money out in Candy Land, we out

Dream Gerrard - Lyrics - Traffic

Title: Dream Gerrard
Artist: Traffic
Composer(s): Steve Winwood, Vivian Stanshall

Lyric:
And it's a fact, you are cold
They react, dream Gerrard

Hippos don't wear hats
Lobsters shriek if provoked
On long blue ribbons

That he may see
While he sleeps

Monsieur old Neddy
He wears spectacles in
Bed that he
May see dreams more clearly

The night, it will be black
And white raven croaking
I am thirsty, die

They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality

I scream from a skull
Fritz, bring your wigwam

They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality

They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality

They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality

They think it should be done
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality
With reality, with reality

They think it should be done
With reality, with reality

They won't let it be
They think it should be done
With reality, with reality
With reality, with reality

Animal Planet - Lyrics - The Genius Gza

Title: Animal Planet
Artist: The Genius Gza
Composer(s): Curtis Mayfield, Gary E. Grice, Roosevelt Harrell

Lyric:
[Incomprehensible]

Welcome to the Jungle where the cat loves to scratch
The rat squeals and the polar bear feasts on the blubber of seals
The pack of wolves be scheming on a bunch of gazelles
Where the leopards grab the wilder beast down by it's tail

See the chimps, they grow hips they hustle and sling in trees
Elephants for security that move tons of leaves
The bluebirds arrest parrots that love to talk
Or eagles that stalk fresh-water trout under the wing of the hawk

You see the vultures, pick the pocket of whatever remain
In the brain we watch but a shadow of the lion's mane
Whose roar is loud enough to take the stripes from a zebra
He camouflage his bets and his spots of a cheetah

Shouldn't gamble with a cheetah and not expect to get beat
You silly goose, you know he move fast on his feet
Now you're neck deep in depth with a bunch of lone sharks
So you move on a colony of ants with aardvarks

You see most of the everglades controlled by the gators
It was crashed by the crocs who came years later
See the locusts had swarmed with the bees
The tick moved with the fleas
The dragonflies and the wasps shared with the seas

The crab and the leeches sucked your blood flow
And they laugh like hyenas when they out to catch dough
See a million mosquitoes from the West now
Carrying the virus that made the boars less wild

It's like the jungle sometimes
([Incomprehensible])
It's like the jungle sometimes
([Incomprehensible])
It's like the jungle sometimes
([Incomprehensible])
It's like the jungle sometimes

Out of fear of the deer watch for the eye of the tiger
The Clutch from the Cobra and the venomous viper
Boa constrictors that cut your circulation
Mosts of their prays die from broke bones and suffocation

The owls are private eyes that watch from the bark
Black panthers are the militant who strike in the dark
Porcupines had a rep' for sticking everything that moved
In areas that the rhinos and hippos approved

And the giraffe was a look out for gorillas in the mist
And the bats use their sonar to guide and assist
Those pelicans who smuggle contraband for the whale
While the skunks spray the scent to keep the dogs off the trail

The scorpion set up a sting for sly foxes
That use stool pigeons just to keep them in the boxes
While the black widow laid a web for the bachelor
Like daddy long leg and his hype man, tarantula

They both prey on grasshoppers, beetles and flies
And they all become instant meals the moment it dies
What costs little, is a little worth

So some lose they lives wandering on the wrong turf
From birth they grow up walking the thin line
It's like the jungle sometimes

It's like the jungle sometimes
([Incomprehensible])
It's like the jungle sometimes
([Incomprehensible])
It's like the jungle sometimes
([Incomprehensible])
It's like the jungle sometimes

Incomprehensible
