Big Mattress Song of the Week
(Words and Music by Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan)
Write another song for the money
Something they can sing, not so funny
Money in the bank to keep us warm
Stick another grape in the juicer
Or fill your guts with grease and get get looser
You are what you eat , so eat it warm
Roll another joint for the Gipper
Get the Gipper high, he gets hipper
Stick it in his mouth and keep him warm
Elect another jerk to the White House
Gracie Slick is losing her door mouse
Take her off the streets and keep her warm
Fight another war if they make you
Squeal on a friend or they'll take you
The future's in your lap, so keep it warm...
Warm, here in your arms Safe from all harm,
where I belong
Warm, cozy and calm,
another Dawn together warm....
My woodie's broken down by the beach now
And TM's gotten far out of reach now
Tell the Mahareesh to keep it warm
George is suing Paul, suing Ringo
and immigration wants John and Yoko
All they need is love, to keep them warm
Kill another whale with your power
Or shoot a bunch a kids from a tower
Snipe them in there cars
Blood keeps them warm
Or
Make a better world from the old one
Make yourself a baby and hold one
Hold her in your arms and keep her warm,
Keep her warm, Keep her warm,
Keep her warm...........

OK! Flo and Eddie are the best. You can hear them singing behind Bruce on "Hungry Heart". These guys have sung harmony on lots of records beside their own, They also do a killer live show. I saw them in the 70's at Paul's Mall.

I saw them at Paul's Mall too as well as Jonathan Swifts in Harvard Square and as an opening band for Alice Cooper at the Garden. Fantastic, underrated band. I also saw them last year as The Turtles. Still entertaing...they sort of reminded me of Barry & Elliot from Jordan's Furniture.

What a great song, I always liked that one, thanks Chuck. Flo and Eddie also did some great work with Frank Zappa, on Just another band from L.A.
