This is a bit ridiculous, since there is only one “BONUS TRACK” with lyrics worth mentioning. But if that’s what you were looking for, you’re in the right place.
THE FIFI STORY

We come a long way, but it wasn’t very easy
We played in Yakima, London, and [...]

EVIL DAIRY PRODUCTS
(Part I of “Evil Dairy Products”)
We were sailors on the lightwaves
Spanning the galaxies
Heading for our homeworld
The land of milk and cheese
‘Til on your backward planet
We were forced to ditch
When somebody, somewhere
Threw the wrong switch
Storming through the nations
Committing atrocities
We are evil; we are milk
We are wicked; we are cheese
When somebody, somewhere
Pulled the wrong lever
They [...]


SKIPPY’S OUTTA JAIL
CHORUS:
Skippy’s outta jail (boy oh boy!)
Fills my teenage heart with joy
Ain’t makin’ license plates no more
He’s a different man, fer sure!
“When’s he comin’ home?”
My girlfriends say
He’s comin’ home tonight!
Comin’ to stay!
He can grow his hair
And watch TV
And he can make
A happy girl of me
He can clean his guns
And sharpen his knives
And he can [...]

WE’RE A BAND
(Infested with the Rabies of Talent)
Hey we’re fifi
And we’re gonna rock you
We might offend you
And possibly shock you
Give us your money
And come to our concerts
Buy all our albums
And buy all our t-shirts
CHORUS:
We’re infested with the rabies of talent
Infected with the smallpox of greatness
We love our fans
Our music’s trash
And we know it, too
What do [...]

DEATH POODLE
Cycle 1: Instrumental
Cycle 2:
It’s getting close to midnight
And the darkness fills your room
But don’t you fall asleep
And don’t feel safe too soon
You wake up in a cold sweat
Rising from a dream
Open your eyes and what you see
Makes you try to scream
An evil poodle at your neck
You can feel his breath
An evil poodle, his fur [...]
