I Think I Killed It Words and Music by Rich La Bonté Copyright © 2014 Rich La Bonté (BMI) All Rights Reserved. Oops! Sumatran Tiger! I think I killed it! I didn't mean to! That tiger bone wine, it really turns me on! Never heard of it? Why, its all the rage in Indonesia! You just kill yourself a tiger and get rid of all that meat and fur, strip that striped cat and soak them bones in wine. Not Ripple, fool, some good grape. Man, you ain't lived until you drunk some of that tiger bone wine! Oops! Indian Elephant! I think I killed it! I didn't mean to! Just tinkle those ivories a while, professor! Hear that? Them's real keys, not that imitation stuff. You want to sound like Liberace or what? Take my word for it. You just chop off some elephant tusks. Smash 'em into little pieces and carve 'em into sparkling 88s! Why you'll sound like Beethoven or Mantovani or somebody! Oops! There goes the Amur Leopard! I didn't mean to! Animal fur is so cool looking, you know? It's hip, its sexy. The women love it! You've seen it in magazines! You can even get spotted sheets and other bedroom accessories - for a price. Of course, I just needed it, you know. My baby really wanted that leopard skin pill box hat! Oops! Leatherback Turtle! I think I killed it! Sea turtle to you, pal. You know, you've seen 'em on TV. Sea Hunt. Man, nothing goes better with a glass of tiger bone wine than a nice omelet made with leatherback turtle eggs. Oops! Black Rhino! I didn't mean to, But rhino horn cures everything! It's not actually an aphrodisiac but if you know anybody who happens to be possessed by the devil, rhino horn is fabulous for exorcisms!

Shotgun Window Words and Music by Rich La Bonté Copyright © 2014 Rich La Bonté (BMI) All Rights Reserved. Drivin' down the boulevard Yeah, we goin' downtown to see some friends. Lookin' out of the shotgun window As the faces go by. They got different plans. Beaten broke, not all happy folk Well I'm a wonderin' where they're gonna sleep tonight. Panhandlin' down the boulevard They don't feel so good. It don't seem all right. Deeper down the boulevard Where the money rides in their limousines. Fancy homes on the boulevard With their dentured servants and lasered eyes. That's the place where our friends all live Where the party is all happening. Take a left-turn off the boulevard And then the gravel growls and we all get out.
