Co-op California Lyrics

Co-op California lyrics

On a dark Tuesday evening sitting in my lair

 Warm smell of zuchinnis rising up through the air

 Downstairs in the kitchen I heard the clanging wok

 My palms grew sweaty and I peed my pants

 It was almost 6 o'clock

  

 There I stood in the bathroom

 I heard the dinner bell

 And I was wondering to myself

 If I was in some kind of stir fry hell

 Then I got up the courage and I got me a plate

 There were people screwing in the room next door

 Looks like they would be late

  

 Welcome to the Coop California

 Such a messy place (such a messy place)

 Plenty of food at the Coop California

 Every kind of bean that you've ever seen

  

 The agenda items were listed, it was an open forum

 There were a lot of people in the house, but we couldn't get quorum

 But we still called it a meeting, we didn't abort

 Each officer took their turn giving a 30-minute report

  

 So I called up to NASCO

 Hey we're in a bind

 And they said you haven't paid your member fees since 1989

 And still that refrigrator is smellin from far away

 Oh man I just can't wait

 For work holiday...

  

 Welcome to the Co-op California

 Such a messy place (such a messy place)

 Plenty of food at the Co-op California

 What a nice surprise it's beans and rice!

  

 All of a sudden it hit me, I got a weird sensation

 And I said We are all just prisoners here of cooperation

 And in the house accounting

 The treasurer had been slack

 They disconnected our electricity

 And we just couldn't get it back

  

 Last thing I remember I was feeling pretty lame

 I put on my second wool sweater

 And started to complain

 Relax said my housemate

 Sure this place is a mess

 The food is bland and the bills unpaid

 But we've still got house incest
