The Best of Spazztet Lyric Writing Contest Entries... so far
(or actually... all of them)

Although response to the lyric writing contest has not been overwhelming... the entries that we do have are certainly creative and for the most part fit the music. The contestants names will not be listed as we are still in our judging period.

Lyrics to Fire Engine Red

(lyrics to Best of Friends, lyrics to Madly)

Our only true submission for Fire Engine Red is based off of and improves greatly on an earlier version. We will list these older lyrics for historical purposes.

Original lyrics

Bet you didn't think of me as a gambler
but I did bet once on... the color of a crayon
So I called 1 800-CRAYOLA
to see if they had... Fire Engine Red

(The lady stuttered.. the lady stuttered.. the lady stuttered
and she said
The lady stuttered.. the lady stuttered..
and said, "I don't know what you're talking about.")

I called 1 800 CRAYOLA
to see if they had.. Fire Engine Red

The new and improved lyrics

(ed. note: the lyrics fit the music very well but the author wrote an additional A for each chorus. The bridge has been edited to more clearly reflect the melodic material.)

"fire engine red (or, eve in san francisco)"

I dialed 1800 Granola
to see if they had...purple parrot bread
i called 1800 granola
to see if goblins...lived inside my head

(the phone it whimpered, the phone it shivered, the
phone it's flustered, but this is...
the phone it whimpered, the phone it shivered, but this is what it finally said)

"You dialed 1800 granola
cause you're scared you're turning ...into a deadhead
you've got one hell of a nerve girl
taking acid and lying...on your futon bed."

now i'm taking speed for my neuroses
and valium to soothe my ...achy shaky nerves
it's a long trip out of the backwoods
and into this place with ... only surreal words

(my brain it stutters, it wants to mutter, and so it flutters, like a
fish...
my brain it stutters, and so it flutters, like a
fish out on a leash)

I've gone on to breakfast without you
and there's no more jamming...for this piece of bread
if you see a snake on a fig leaf
i'll give you an apple of...fire engine red

Lyrics to Best of Friends

(jazzy intro crap)

I went over to your house just the other day in search of
something fun to do that would not take all of the money
i have in my bank account
cause there isn't much there you know
and you obliged and that's why i would like to
say we're the
best of friends

you have princess leia
you have han solo too
you have the death star
and you have luke...
you have munchichis
and you eat frosted flakes
we play monopoly

when there's nothing...

so don't you see that this is how i choose my best friend
this is why i like to say we're
the best of friends

(funky ass solos and back)

and when i'm feeling blue you come over and paint all my toenails red
and you try to make some funny faces like jerry lewis or an orangutan
caught up in a phone booth with superman
and that's why there is no doubt we are
the best of friends

you eat cheese puffs
you eat hot spicy fries
you like raisinettes in your soup
you'll eat ice cream
even when it's cold outside
you are such a freak...

and that is why..

i think i have never met anyone so crazy
as you so you see
i hope you'll always think us
i hope you will always know we're
i hope you will always call us
the best of friends

Lyrics to Madly
(rather crude lyrics)

I came to your house
with food in mind.
What you presented
was quite unkind.
I could go to D.D Dogs,
To manufacture doo-doo logs
But I chose your place.

Now that I've eaten
what you gave me,
I'll go to your neighbor's,
and by a tree,
I will lay the voodoo down,
in each and every shade of brown.
Don't tell my girlfriend.

Goddamn you!
My shorts were new!
They cost a lot and now (just) look at them.
This won't do.
I'm turning blue.
Just from the smell and that firey feeling
left with me,
under the tree...
