        And she's cruisin' through the hamburger stand now
        Seems she forgot all about the library
        Like she told her old man now
        And with the radio blasting
        Goes cruising just as fast as she can now

        And she'll have fun fun fun

        (Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away)

        Well the girls can't stand her
        'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now
        (You walk like an ace now you walk like an ace)
        She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
        (You look like an ace now you look like an ace)
        A lotta guys try to catch her
        But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
        (You drive like an ace now you drive like an ace)

        And she'll have fun fun fun
        'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
        (Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away)

        That your dad was gettin' wise to you now

        And since he took your set of keys
        You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
        (You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)

        But you can come along with me
        'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now

        It's the liitle old lady from Pasadena

        It's the liitle old lady from Pasadena
        Go granny, go granny, go granny go
        Got a pretty little flower bed of white gardenias
        Go granny, go granny, go granny go
        But parked in her rickety old garage
        Is a brand new shiny red Super-Stock Dodge

        And everybody's saying there's nobody meaner
        Than the little old lady from Pasadena
        She drives real fast and she drives real hard
        She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard

        It's the liitle old lady from Pasadena

        You can see her on the street just gettin' her kicks now
        Go granny, go granny, go granny go
        With her four speed stick and her four-twenty-six now
        Go granny, go granny, go granny go
        She's gonna get a ticket now sooner or later
        'Cause she can't keep her foot off the accelerator

        And everybody's saying there's nobody meaner
        Than the little old lady from Pasadena
        She drives real fast and she drives real hard
        She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard

        And everybody's saying there's nobody meaner
        Than the little old lady from Pasadena
        She drives real fast and she drives real hard
        She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard

        It's the liitle old lady from Pasadena

        If you see her on the street don't try to choose her
        Go granny, go granny, go granny go
        You may have a goer but you'll never lose her
        Go granny, go granny, go granny go
        The guys come to race her from miles around
        But she'll give them a length then she'll shut 'em down

        And everybody's saying there's nobody meaner
        Than the little old lady from Pasadena
        She drives real fast and she drives real hard
        She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard

        It's the liitle old lady from Pasadena

        Go granny, go granny, go granny go
        Granny go

        Brian Wilson/Roger Christian

        Some of you may remember the way the Beach Boys go about making a record.
        First we start with Denny on the drums.
        Then Al with the rhythm guitar.
        And then Carl with the lead guitar.
        And then Brian fills the instruments in with a bass.
        When we got the instrument together
        We step up to the mics and it comes out something like this:

        Little deuce Coupe
        You don't know what I got
        Little deuce Coupe
        You don't know what I got

        Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down
        But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town
        When something comes up to me he don't even try
        Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
        She's my little deuce coupe
        You don't know what I got
        (My little deuce coupe)
        (You don't know what I got)

        Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill
        But she'll walk a Thunderbird like she's standin' still
        She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored.
        She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored
        She's my little deuce coupe
        You don't know what I got
        (My little deuce coupe)
        (You don't know what I got)

        She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor
        And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar
        And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid
        There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy

        And comin' off the line when the light turns green
        Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen
        I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer
        When I get rubber in all four gears

        She's my little deuce coupe
        You don't know what I got
        (My little deuce coupe)
        (You don't know what I got)
        She's my little deuce coupe
        You don't know what I got
        (My little deuce coupe)
        (You don't know what I got)
        She's my little deuce coupe
        You don't know what I got

        (B. Pickett/L. Capizzi

        Right now we'd like to introduce to all of you
        Our lead singer, Mr. Boris Love
        Boris is all ready to do his favorite song
        If we can get a couple green lights on his face
        He'll sing a song called "The Monster Mash"

        I was working in the lab
        And light one night
        When my eyes beheld
        An eerie sight
        When my monster from his slab
        Began to rise
        And suddenly
        To my surprise

        He did the mash
        He did the monster mash
        The monster mash
        It was a graveyard smash
        He did the mash
        It caught on in a flash
        The monster mash
        It's called the monster mash

        The laboratory in the castle eaves
        And the master bedroom where the vampire sleeps
        The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
        To get a jolt from my electrodes

        They did the mash
        They did the monster mash
        The monster mash
        It was a graveyard smash
        They did the mash
        It caught on in a flash
        The monster mash
        It's called the monster mash

        Zombies were having fun
        The party had just begun
        The guests included Wolfman
        Dracula and his little baby boy

        The scene was rocking
        All the digging sounds
        Igor unchained backed by his baying hounds
        The Coffin Bangers were about to arrive
        With a local group the Beach Boy five

        They did the mash
        They did the monster mash
        The monster mash
        It was a graveyard smash
        They did the mash
        It caught on in a flash
        The monster mash
        It's called the monster mash

        Mmmm, what luck girl in the audience
        Would care to dance with Igor?
        The monster mash is so ghoul
        Muah ha ha ha
        Muah ha ha ha

        J. Sherman/ N. Sherman

        Right now we'd like to do another song about school
        We did it last time I think
        This one's dedicated to everyone in the audience who's just graduated from grade school
        And all you who have just graduated from junior high or high, or high school
        That is if you happen to make it out of high school, yeah
        If you haven't there's always hair school, I mean night school
        Summer school? I went ther for two semesters, you don't have to tell me about that
        Anyway right now we'd like to do the song that was recorded several years ago by a group of of singers
        Who were very influential for our careers because they influenced Brian Wilson and his writing
        Their group is the Four Freshmen
        And their song that we'd like to sing right now is called "Graduation Day"

        There's a time a for joy
        A time for tears
        A time we'll treasure through the years
        We'll remember always
        Graduation day

        At the senior prom
        We danced 'til three
        And there you gave your heart to me
        We'll remember always
        Graduation day

        Take it away
        Take five

        Though we leave in sorrow
        All the joys we've known
        We can face tomorrow
        Knowing we'll never walk alone

        When the ivy walks
        Are far behind
        No matter where our paths may wind
        We'll remember always
        Graduation day

        We'll remember always
        Graduation (day) day

        Chuck Berry

        Before we all get kicked outta here
        We're gonna do one more song for you
        Let's go

        He come from Louisiana, close to New Orleans
        Way back up in the woods up near the evergreens
        There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
        Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
        He never ever learned to read or write so well
        But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell

        Go go
        Go Johnny go go
        Go Johnny go go
        Go Johnny go go
        Go Johnny go go
        Johnny B. Goode

        He used to carry his guitar in a gunney sack
        And sit beneath the trees by the railroad tracks
        Engineers would see him sittin' in the shade
        Strummin' to the rhythm that the drivers made
        And people passing by would stop and say
        My my but that little country boy can play

        Go go
        Go Johnny go go
        Go Johnny go go
        Go Johnny go go
        Go Johnny go go
        Johnny B. Goode
