We Only Come Out at Night (with Kris Pooley)
(something makes Billy laugh very hard and miss the beginning of verse 1)
> In the Summertime / Shave and a Haircut (with Kris Pooley)
BC: Alright!
BC verse 1 alt lyrics: In the summertime when the weather is hot / You can chase right up and touch the sky / When the weather’s fine / You got women, you got women on your mind--that’s right / Have a toke, have a drive / (laughing) Go out and see what you can find--woo!
BC verse 2 alt lyrics: If her daddy's rich take her out for a meal / If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel / Spin around the lake / Buy a Ferrari and go a hundred and twenty-five / You can make it good / Make it good and really fine--take it, Jimmy!
(during Jimmy’s kazoo solo, Billy and Jeff pick up and examine things that were thrown onstage)
Jeff: Yeah, okay.
(Jimmy solo ends)
BC: Alright, Jeff, show ‘em what you got, babe!
(Jeff kazoo solo)
BC verse 3 alt lyrics: In the summertime when the weather is high / You can do what you want / You can fuck who you want / You can do anything, there are no laws, you can just do whatever you want--just ask Doug / Fuck along with me / I got dudes, I got dudes on my mind--take it, Kris! (Kris accordion solo starts) Woo!
Jeff: Woo!
BC: Give this man a hand, he’s playing the accordion! (Kris gives the audience a quick thumbs up with his keyboard hand) It’s not easy to play the accordion! Take it, Mrs. Pooley!
(Kris solo ends, Ginger kazoo solo)
BC: Alright, all together now! (band plays melody, Billy sort of scats over part) All together, one last time! (band together for melody) Alright, thank you very much, thank yooooou! (piano outro begins) (announcer voice) Thank you to the Hard Rock company and the Samsung company for sponsoring the show. (normal voice) Heh heh heh heh, woo!!! Alright! Thank you, Tex. Thank you, Jeff. Thank you, Lisa. (Jeff is excitedly crushing his kazoo under his feet) (laughing) Oh my god. (Jimmy is crushing his now) Heh heh heh, no-ho-ho, you can’t crush your harmonicas or whatever--what is it? Kazoo! (Lisa plays Shave and a Haircut, minus last two notes) (Jeff is swinging his mic like Roger Daltrey now) I don’t believe in breaking my kazoo. Thank you!
(piano outro continues while Billy works the crowd; he waves a girl from the crowd onstage who appears to have the Aeroplane Flies High art bodypainted on her front and Zeitgeist art on her back)
