Paradox (Part I)

This is a song about Anjelica's nightmares.

The boogieman's under my bed
A spider's right above my head
And there's a vampire in my closet for some blood
And I'm not real sure what they're doing 
But I think there's trouble brewing
And I tell you one thing their up to no good

Oh well I'm sure I'll be alright 
But when these things bump in the night
You know it sure scares the bejeezus out of me
I know I'm sure it don't behoove me 
To watch all those scary movies 
On the KIndle right before I go to sleep

Hey there Boogieman I think I got a plan
How about you leave me be
Perhaps an aberration of my imagination
But you're not gonna boogie with me

Oh well I think I heard a noise
And then my mother gets annoyed
She says it's only the house settling in the night
And though I sure want to believe her
There's no doubt it's the grim reaper
And there's no way everything will be alright

Well there's my mom I'll try to wake her
So I just get up and shake her
There's a mask that's on her face that is bright green
It seems her breath slightly offends 
And all her hair stands its end
She has to be scariest thing I've ever seen

Chorus

And so she stumbles out of bed
I see her eyes are bloodshot red
And I know that this surely spells impending doom
If I choose one that scares me most
It probably won't be the ghost
Next time I'll take my chances in my room

Boogieman

Our origin story!

A lifelong motto of The CheeseBergens....do it with cheese!

There really ain't no other way I like to grill it
When I get some frozen patties in my skillet
I'm down to eat a salad or scarf up grease
But there's just one way to serve it that's gonna please
I don't care if it's in slices or an easy squeeze

Just do it- but do it with cheese!

Now you might say your lactose intolerant
But I say just suck it up or you can go get bent 
Cause if your tummy hurts then I say "oh please!"
Go wash it down with Tums or some anti freeze
Theres just one way to serve it that's gonna please

Just do it - but do it with cheese!

When they see me comin' they don't need to guess
If I want some cheese with that cause the answer is yes
I need the gooey stuff and that's for sure
And I don't care if it's costing me 50 cents more

Cheese is the stuff of life and you can't refute
If you think you're gaining weight then stop eating fruit
Cause life is too short to sweat the calories
So you best start clogging up all those arteries
Live fast and die of cardiovascular disease

Just do it - but do it with cheese!

Theme From The Cheesebergens

A Ramones-esque teenage anthem!

I don't want to do my homework today
My mom will probably kill me
I don't care what she say
I know she'll probably kill me
Luke and Lea 
Dragon slayers
Rock n' roll and 
XBox consoles
My mom will probably kill me 
Today

I don't wanna go to school today
My mom will probably kill me
I don't care what she say
I know she'll probably kill me
Surf the net
TV set
I just wanna
Listen to Nirvana
My mom will probably kill me
Today

I don't wanna be good today
My mom will probably kill me
I don't care what she say
I know she'll probably kill me
Guess I'm just
Misunderstood 
If I'm bad or 
If I'm good
My mom will probably kill me
Today
I know she'll probably kill me
Anyway

My Mom'll Probably Kill Me

It's hard enough to for adolescents to fit in these days, but just imagine the added pressure of having a mother and father who worship Satan. Find out what happens when this teen is finally forced to have his curious friends come by for a visit.

I hoped they wouldn't notice but
My friends suspicion's roused
They ask me why I never let them
Come play at my house
It looks as if I may have to
Invite them to my home
And pray dad doesn't greet then when
He's wearing his black robe

The coast is clear they wonder what
The worry on my face meant
When suddenly a chanting starts
To rise up from the basement
Why can't I be a normal kid
It's so much less complex
To say I think it's just my mom
And father having sex

My mother says "I guess I just
Don't get your generation"
And that's what life is like when mom
And daddy worship Satan.

And before I know it they
Are running to explore
And follow the odd noises that
Are coming from the floor
And soon they find my parents
In their favorite recreation
Conjuring up spirits in
An evil incantation

And daddy says "Oh visitors
Well isn't that just nice?"
I hope he doesn't think them virgins
To be sacrificed
But mom ignores my gestures and
She sports an evil grin her
Mouth waters as she says "We're happy
To have you for dinner!"


I fear they will accept her offer
And agree to stay
Do they not know she means to have them
As the main entree?
I'm just about to tell them run
But briefly I think twice
A break from eye of newt and toe
Of frog would sure be nice

My mother says "I guess I just
Don't get your generation"
And that's what life is like when mom
And daddy worship Satan.

Mommy and Daddy Worship Satan

Sometimes you just gotta write a stupid punk song!I wanna write a stupid punk song 
I wanna go to all the punk rock shows
And talk about the bands that no one knows
I wanna write a stupid punk song

I wanna write a stupid punk song
And drink a forty on a Saturday
In the mosh pit at a matinee
I wanna write a stupid punk song

I'll write a punk song cause I'm violent and bored
I'll write a punk song cause I know least four cords
I'll just get out my guitar and I'll play
My stupid punk song, all freakin day


I wanna write stupid punk song
About a girl I think is really cute
Who has a mohawk and wears combat boots
I wanna write a stupid punk song

I wanna write a stupid punk song
About how much I hate my mom and dad
Although the truth is that they ain't that bad
I wanna write a stupid punk song

I'll write a punk song cause I'm angry and young
I'll write a punk song and they'll all think I'm dumb
And all the punks they can all mosh and pogo
And even though it punk, it's gonna have a solo

I wanna write a stupid punk song
And you can tell me that it's dumb and lame
But at least I have something to play
Even if it's a just stupid punk song

Stupid Punk Song

Growing old...the Big Mama Cheese way!

There used to be a time my mother would go out a lot
Now she likes to sit home on the couch all night and rot
But now I'm getting older
and me and my big bro
Rock and roll all nite when
We go out to the shows
My mother she just says that
She's too tired for that crap
So she crawls behind the bar
And she goes to take a nap

She says 
It's hard to get your kicks
When you're waking up at six
Call her old, call her a poseur
But just wake her, oh wake her, wake her, when the show is over

Well we have seen Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones and more
But every time she just ends up passed out on the floor
It's a bit embarrassing 
Some people stop and stare
Don't think that we're not tempted
To just leave her there
But our options are limited
You see she's really it
And if people ask she makes us say
She moshed out in the pit

She says
It's hard to get your kicks
When you're waking up at six
Call me old, call me a poseur
But just wake, oh wake me, wake me when the show is over

Well it used to be she didn't even wake up until noon 
And didn't leave her house until the rising of the moon
But now that kind of living well it's showing her no mercy
Especially when she is having dinner at 4:30.

Wake Her When The Show Is Over

Because we're all about the cheese!

There really ain't no other way I like to grill it
When I get some frozen patties in my skillet
I'm down to eat a salad or scarf up grease
But there's just one way to serve it that's gonna please
I don't care if it's in slices or an easy squeeze

Just do it- but do it with cheese!

Now you might say your lactose intolerant
But I say just suck it up or you can go get bent 
Cause if your tummy hurts then I say "oh please!"
Go wash it down with Tums or some anti freeze
Theres just one way to serve it that's gonna please

Just do it - but do it with cheese!

When they see me comin' they don't need to guess
If I want some cheese with that cause the answer is yes
I need the gooey stuff and that's for sure
And I don't care if it's costing me 50 cents more

Cheese is the stuff of life and you can't refute
If you think you're gaining weight then stop eating fruit
Cause life is too short to sweat the calories
So you best start clogging up all those arteries
Live fast and die of cardiovascular disease

Just do it - but do it with cheese!
