Quality's pretty good. A lot cooler if you know what les is saying.
Phantom Patriot, 12.31.05
One Betta, 12.31.05

The Bullboard wrote: Phantom Patriot, by Les Claypool.....lyrics!
from Les' personal cheat sheet.........

creeping ever creeping
like a fox in the night
turning wrong into right
he only works alone

with a crossbow on his shoulder
and a saber at his side
some random guns and knives
his mask, as white as bone

the phantom patriot comes to save the day

moving thru the compound
with a formulated plan
there to help his fellow man
at this decisive point and time

the bohemians at the grove
dont see it quite the same
smelling danger is his game
they dub his quest a crime

the phantom patriot comes to save the day

searching for his quarry
thru the elite redwood maze
with provisions for the days
and nights he must remain alert

and though its not intended
our hero is soon aprehended
with "phantom patriot" in sharpie
written boldly across his shirt

also from les cheat sheet of lyrics...was lucky enough to snag this too....

old silk johnson
cruising up mighty fine
got a brand new cadillac

his buddy conrad smith
rollin' down the line
got last years cadillac

johnson say " hey smitty boy...
whatche think of my spanking new cadillac?"

smitty just rolled his head back
look him in the eye
"thats a mighty fine cadillac.......

but ima-gonna-get-me-one-betta!"

remember old kruschev
he was riding high with his sputnik satellite
he told us yankee boys he was gonna fill the skies
with that sputnik satellite
he said "hey Dwight D. I.........
what do you think of my sputnik satellite..."
Dwight just reeled his head back
Said "thats a mighty fine satellite.........

but ima-gonna-get-me-one-betta......."
