1. Me & Suzy in the Woozatoria (Steve Lieberman)
Always get it up- with the touch of the elder-kind
Always get it up right from the starting line
Always get it up 5-6-7-8-9
Suzy Suzy
You blow my mind!
My pee-pee
Once built like a tree.
Then I got older-
My pee-pee’s a soldier!
Suzy, Suzy Suzy Su-zy
Holds my head when I go woozy.
And I’ve been in the Woozatoria
Leading the Noise Militia
C’mon and share , share my tragedy-
Suzy, Suzy Suzy Su-zy
My pee-pee
Once was a Uzi
I beat it like a drum
C’mon baby-let’s have some fun!
Holds my head when I go woozy.
And I’ve been in the Woozatoria
Leading the Noise Militia
C’mon and share ,share my tragedy-
Suzy, Suzy Suzy Su-zy
Always get it up- with the touch of the elder-kind
Always get it up right from the starting line
Always get it up 5-6-7-8-9
Suzy Suzy
You blow my mind!
My pee-pee
Got an eye but can’t see
I work it like a drill
C’mon baby-let’s get our fill!
Suzy, Suzy Suzy Su-zy
Holds my head when I go woozy.
And I’ve been in the Woozatoria
Leading the Noise Militia
C’mon and share ,share my tragedy-

2.I’m Older Than the Ground–(Steve Lieberman)
I’m older than the dirt
But she’s my senior
She knows how to work
Suzy works my weiner.
I’m older than the ground
But she’s still older.
She works me up and down:
My pee-pee’s a soldier!
3. With a Pillar of Sound, I Praise The L-rd —(Steve Lieberman)
I’m just another cripple in a wheelchair
Had leukemia for far too many years
But my G-d sustained me, I’m in His care.
Listen all you Hebrews!
You need to hear.
The Noise Militia, the 14/7 Chord
With a Pillar of Sound, I praise the L-rd.
It was really loud and kind of raw.
But He gave me the strength,
He fought my war-
Against my enemies, He raised His sword
I consecrated myself to His service.
My adversaries, they get so nervous.
Just like Hezekiah, King of Judah
The L-rd struck down his persecutors.
He gave him 15 more years of life
Safety and peace in his own time.
4-Talabard Entr’acte #132.1—(Steve Lieberman)
5-Hall’el 473— (Steve Lieberman)
‘423” I got the call
Street-corner at the shopping mall
Preached to the non-believers: you’re all gonna fall
As they relegate me to the mourners’ hall
Leviticus, Numbers Deuteronomy
Recounting all of the Prophecies
Joshua, Judges, 1st Samuel
Feeling like Amos at the Citadel
Ah—ah-ah
We gotta praise, praise praise
His Holy Name
But the non-believers , they all take it in vain
We gotta praise, praise, praise
Praise the L-RD
Hashem Elokeinu, Hashem echad
I’m a Bible thumper
Preaching at you like a Seagrave pumper
I’m a Bible thumper
Preaching at you with my bass all bumpin’
‘425 became a teenage Prophet
Proselytized like a Saturn 5 rocket
The non-believers, they shouted stop it!
As I pull the Tanakh from my pocket.
2nd Samuel, 1st and 2nd Kings
Redemption on the Cherubim wings
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel
Amos and Amaziah at Beth-El.
‘429: Jewish evangelist
The non-believers they just couldn’t resist
To come at me with their clubs and their fists
I moved so fast they always missed.
Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah
Going down to Sheol in fire
Israel, Isaac, Abraham
Preaching from the Diaspora to the Holy Land
6-Bass Guitar Entr’acte #132.2—(Steve Lieberman)
7-Oh Pour, Pour the Pirate Sherry—(Sir Arthur Sullivan, Sir William Gilbert)
Pour, oh, pour the pirate sherry
Fill, O fill the pirate glass!
And, to make us more than merry
Let the pirate bumper pass!
For today our pirate ‘prentice
Rises from indenture freed
Strong his arm, and keen his scent is
He’s a pirate now indeed!
Here’s good luck to Frederic’s ventures!
Frederic’s out of his indentures
Two and twenty, now he’s rising
And alone he’s fit to fly
Which we’re bent on signalizing
With unusual revelry
Here’s good luck to Frederic’s ventures!
Frederic’s out of his indentures
Pour, oh, pour the pirate sherry
Fill, O fill the pirate glass!
And, to make us more than merry
Let the pirate bumper pass!
8-I Wanna Be Suzy’s Bass Man—(Steve Lieberman)
I’m in a club, gonna play a show
Some of the crowd shouted,’go go go!’
I wheel my crippled self towards the stage.
My hands were clenched, but not in rage-
Just another manic phase-
And they shout, ‘Gangsta Rabbi-you shred that bass!’
So I shout to Suzy, ‘Baby, jump in my chair!’
She says, ‘your chair? Tell me where’.
I said, ‘right here, right here-
In my chair!’
So Suzy, she jumps in my chair
She helps me set up my gear.
At the club, I take my stand
Suzy,Suzy I wanna be your bass man!
I’ll play her with my left hand
I rock the world, you know I can
Ah-ah-aaaah
I wanna be her bass man!
Feel my heat from my low E-string
Feel the heat baby, make me sing!
One bass line become my thing
One bass line, I’m the punk rock king!
I wanna be her bass man
I’ll play her with my left hand
I rock the world, you know I can
Ah-ah-aaaah
I wanna be her bass man!
Feel my heat from the back of the room
Feel my life, feel my doom
C’mon baby, don’t be my ruin
I’m your bass man, baby, we’ll see you soon.
9. I Became Suzy’s Bass Man/Me & Suzy Praise the L-rd—(Steve Lieberman)
So,I became Suzy’s bass man that very night
We were at her place till the morning got light
I told her that my leukemia is terminal
I’m running out of time.
She said, ‘The G-d of Israel will win this fight for you
You’re are a good Hebrew-
I will stay with you
In the Woozatoria
That’s just what I’ll do.’
We both thanked The L-rd for blessing us both
Then my spleen burst so we smoked some dope
She says, you’ll always be my bass man
You’ll always be my favourite one-man band
In many more clubs, you’ll take your stand
You’re the fastest in the land.
I’ve been in the Woozatoria
Leading the Noise Militia
C’mon & share my tragedy
Suzy Suzy Suzy-Suzy
10. A Skinhead With A Stick-ball Bat—(Steve Lieberman)
There was a skinhead with a stick-ball bat
Looked like a nazi piece of crap
I was playing pinball at the Greaser Hut
When he attacked me unprovoked-
Man, what a nut!
He made me tilt
I made him fall
He made me tilt
That is all.
And that skinhead never bothered me no more.
Cause I serve Israel’s G-d
No skinheads in my yard-Oy Vey!
Cause I serve Israel’s L-rd
They call me a Zionist hoard.
I serve the L-rd-
With a distorted 14/7 power chord!
11. Was That Skinhead a Racist?-(Steve Lieberman)
Was he a racist?
I wasn’t sure then
Now, 50 years later
I know he was a hater.
And I pray to Israel’s G-d
That there will be no skinheads in my yard
