Lyrics:

overdue, overdue, that book is overdue
no, you can't renew
and that book is overdue
(repeat)

o-overdue, overdue, that book is overdue

there's a hold, there's a hold
and the book has been recalled
no, you can't renew
'cuz the book has got a hold
(repeat)

o-overdue, overdue, that book is overdue

there's a fine, there's a fine
'cuz you kept it overtime
no, you can't renew
and you have to pay a fine
(repeat)

o-overdue, overdue, that book is overdue

(4th verse, same as the 1st)

overdue, due, due, due, overduuuuue ...

words and music: Smith

Overdue

Knocking (instrumental track)

Lyrics:

My tongue is an anvil
My hand is a trough
My mind is a windmill
My eyes are turned off

Boundless raindrops call

One finger for freedom
Two toenails for truth
Three thumps on an eardrum
Forehead fifty proof

Boundless raindrops call

The moon is filled with mud
And the fools distill the flood

Hats off, hang 'em higher
Shirt right off my back
Pants always on fire
Shoes step on a crack

Boundless raindrops call

I'm building an igloo
I'm making a mess ...

Lyrics:

I know she loves me, she gave me a cardigan
She loves me, she loves me, she gave me a cardigan
...
She loves me, she loves me, she loves my cardigan
She loves me, she loves me, she is my cardigan

February (She Loves Me)

Lyrics:

We are made to march en masse
An incarnate idea
We go forth to gird the globe
We're plan "B" for Pangea

March!

We are vessels for viruses
We are weeds that walk
We're scattering bacteria
All around this rock

March!

March (A Celebration of Life)

(Based on a true story.)

Hey, bunnies, you ain't got no sense
Got into my yard, going under the fence
Prepare for a hit
You're gonna get bit
Cuz there's a bunny (bunny) bunny (bunny) bunny-killing dog 
Bunny-killing dog

Hey, bunnies, you come into my yard
You're gonna die young, and you're gonna die hard
Get it into your head
You're ending up dead
There's a bunny (bunny) bunny (bunny) bunny-killing dog 
Bunny-killing dog

Hey, bunnies, you wanna save your ass
Don't hang around on this particular grass
It might look greener
But the canine is meaner
She's a bunny (bunny) bunny (bunny) bunny-killing dog 
Bunny-killing dog

April (Bunny Killer)

Lyrics:

A little drone, we’ll call him Steve
Was all alone on Christmas Eve
Steve was bored, wanted to fly
So he soared into the sky

The ground below was snowy white
The sky aglow with starry light   
A twinkling gleam appeared and shone
The clear red beam approached the drone

That red light was not from a star
A strange craft appeared on radar
From the North Pole it was tracked
The drone prepared for contact

Steve’s software had a few flaws
Was not aware of Santa Claus
The reindeer quite a mystery
On this night so wintery

The drone tried to make i.d.
Identified as enemy
Steve processed his radar blip
And assessed a hostile ship

Steve fired his missiles away
At Santa’s reindeer and sleigh
Explosions disturbed the calm chill
Santa and reindeer all killed

On the winter’s frozen ground
Burning cinders all around
That Christmas there were no toys
For the list of girls and boys

A little drone, we’ll call him Steve
Was all alone on Christmas Eve
Steve was bored, wanted to fly
So he soared into the sky

(Happy Christmas, Yoko)

Lyrics:

This is my favorite hat
I always wear it on my head
I keep it on when we go to bed
This is my favorite hat

These are my favorite shoes
I always wear them on my feet
I keep them on between the sheets
These are my favorite shoes

I don’t have favorite clothes
In between my hat and shoes
Dress me up any way you choose
I don’t have favorite clothes

Favorite

(Tchaikovsky/Smith)

Lyrics:

This Christmas,
Let's crack some nuts!
This Christmas, 
Let's crack some nuts!

Walnuts!
And hazelnuts!
And pecans!
And almonds!
Brazil nuts!
Yeah, real nuts!
Let's go nuts! Let's go nuts!
