I'M A WATERMELON I'm a watermelon Sailing through the breeze I can feel it in my rinds I can feel it in my seeds Oh yeah He's a watermelon and he's sailin' like Magellan And he feels a lot of things A lot of things A lot of things I'm a watermelon Soaring coast to coast I can feel you in my mind I can eat you in my toast Oh yeah He's a watermelon and he's sailin' like Magellan And he feels a lot of things A lot of things A lot of things

Fat Shannon 03:17
FAT SHANNON Shannon was a fat kid Shaped like a tuna can He'd do nothin' more than just scream He'd be on the playground Writhing like a worm and All the kids would stare and they'd sing, "What does it mean to be Fat Shannon? "What, Oh! what does it mean? "Fat Shannon? "Fat Shannon? "Fat Shannon O where did you go?" One day Shannon screamed and The windows started breaking and Ears were exploding and the teacher had died Shannon was okay but He decided it wasn't Exactly what he wanted so he cried The kids sang, "What is your deal? Come on, Fat Shannon! What "What do you want from us? "Fat Shannon? "Fat Shannon? "Fat Shannon O where did you go?" And you know what he did next? I'll tell you: He pooped on the rug, He pooped on the rug, He pooped on the rug! Fat Shannon, stop screaming

Burrito Man 01:47
BURRITO MAN Burrito Boy was a handsome lad, Rejected by his mom and dad Full of beef, rice, and beans Soaked in his tortilla jeans-- OH HELL YEAH! You're such a rebel, Burrito Boy! You're just better than everyone else! Look at you go! Look at you go, Burrito Boy! Ahh... Burrito Boy left his home, Livin' like a nomadic gnome He looked at his life as a grain of sand, And he became a Burrito Man!-- SEXY! SEXY BURRITO MAN! We love you Burrito Man! You're just drippin' sauce and love! Oh, Burrito Man! Look at you go now! You're just flutterin' in the breeze with your tortilla and your cheese! Burrito Boy -> Burrito MAN! And it was from that point on Burrito man Decided to live his life Like a full entree, And that's when He knew He was a Burrito Man

LIVING & BELIEVING I'm living in a house that is not mine I'm wearing clothes that do not belong to me I'M LIVING IN A HOUSE THAT IS NOT MINE! I'M WEARING CLOTHES THAT DO NOT BELONG TO ME! I love to sleep And I love to eat... ... I don't believe in Washing underwear I don't believe in Washing my underwear

Uncle Vegas 02:48
UNCLE VEGAS Uncle Vegas, it's time to go Put your shorts on, get out of the pool Leave the vodka, leave the cheese Your fluttering nipples in the breeze Uncle Vegas, You're always burping God, you'd think you were a blimp! Oh no, but you're just Uncle Vegas Uncle Vegas, you sold your house You bought some tacos and a smaller house You bathe in butter, you bathe in grease Your nipples they're fluttering in the breeze Uncle Vegas, Don't bet your kids You're not rich in friends, and your car is a sandwich, But you're Uncle Vegas Uncle Vegas Stop lifting that boy above your shoulders He's not what you think, he's just a boy And you're Uncle Vegas

about

The full-length, debut album from spindly powerhouse Johnny Thursday, featuring hits such as "I'm a Watermelon," "Fat Shannon," and "Uncle Vegas." Thursday's sound can only be described as Zest Folk - a saucy platter of banjo rock love.

NOTE: Several songs on this tasty dish bleed into each other. Thus, the album is most delicious as a whole piece. Finish your sandwich.
