I'm driving in my car, I've got a real great car (It's a pre-owned Prius!) It takes me near and far, keeps me feeling like a star (I guess so) My comfort is the key, like the heat all over me (She really jacks the heat up) Like a hug right on my face, feeling cozy in my space (It's really hot) When the temperature goes down and it brings about a frown Jacking up the heater dial so it brings about a smile And I burned your face off Burned your face off Burned your face right off My nana needs a ride, like her riding by my side (We've never met her) Hey coupons right in tow, saving money as she goes (She's really old) But the windshield starts to freeze, temp goes down a few degrees Turning up the heater dial, forgot nana for a while And I burned her face off I burned my nana's face off Burned her face right off If you ever need a ride, then you'd better keep in mind (in her pre-owned Prius) The heat that I require is like riding in a fire (it's really hot) When we've got a gig ahead, Man Band drives themselves instead Going to the show alone, car is an inferno zone And I burned my face off My own face off Burned my face right off

I finally asked you out for a date But now I find out that I was too late The CDC says we got to stay apart This Social Distancing is breaking my heart There’s so many things I wanted to say Now I can only stand across the street and wave Oh the things I would do to you That I just can’t do in this Zoom That’s why I want to be... Six feet closer to you Six feet closer to you Six feet closer to you This just all can’t be true... How about we meet at the grocery store? You could brush against my thigh while in line for the door. Or maybe you could go out for a hike I’ll grab your butt while I ride by on my bike Being with you makes me feel so alive I just wish I could kiss you through this N95 I know this curve is something we’ve got to flatten Full disclosure - my sheets are all satin I really wish I could be… Six feet closer to you Six feet closer to you Six feet closer to you It’s so hard not to do... Is it too soon for you to quarantine with me? I stopped wearing pants, so life could be easy. I’m missing you more and more by the hour If you moved in, I’d have a reason to shower And then I’d get to be… Six feet closer to you Six feet closer to you Six feet closer to you

We’ve known each other for a short, short time And I’d like to think we’re maybe not friends but acquaintances...good acquaintances Now you’re going away and I’d like to say that I’ll miss you...in an abstract way I’ll rarely think about you but when I do it’ll be positive...mostly positive Well... I guess you’ve got to go So I give you my hand You go in for the hug So I switch to the hug But you go back to the handshake I never thought I’d ever see you again But 20 minutes later I’m running into you in the hallway… well hello again I’m just going to wave and hope that you don’t high five me… oh you high fived me. It’s really been a pleasure, but I am in a bit of a hurry… so goodbye again Sorry... I’ve got to get by you CHORUS: So, I go to my left But you go to your right So I go to my right But then you go to your left Why is it so hard to say goodbye to you? It should be very very easy. And now I just can’t stop thinking about you Was that your plan all along? Or could it be that two people could really be this out of synch? So I give you my hand You go in for the hug So I switch to the hug But you go back to the handshake So, I go to my left But you go to your right So I go to my right But then you go to your left This song’s gotta end Been going too long Can you stop it guys We gotta go to the next song Seriously guys Did you just modulate I’m so sick of this song Please end this thing right now

Drugs 03:58
I make drugs But not like Walter White makes drugs I make them in a lab But my labs FDA Approved I’ve got QA That stands for quality assurance And that’s more than Walter White had Cause he just had Jesse Pinkman And at the end of the day I get in my car and drive home I don’t have worry bout killing my boss to go it alone I move drugs but not like Escobar moved drugs I put them on a palette And then I use a palette jack We put them in trucks All the legal paperworks in place The truckers have a union They won’t disappear without a trace And when you stop our trucks You won’t find inside A guy with an AK47 Saying you are gonna die On the days that I have roller compaction, this is the song that gets me through 8 hours of roller compaction. When roller compaction is coming up, this song compacts the rollers in my brain. And in my heart. And in my kidneys. And in some, but not all of the sections of my small intestine. And in my pancreas. And in my spleen. It really compacts the rollers in my spleen. Let’s never forget about the spleen. Yeah, yeah. This song is for those days when I have roller compaction, or the days when I know I have roller compaction coming up, which is most days in fact. We’ve got a lot of insoluble APIs. You know what I’m talking about. Yeah you do. You most definitely do. I do drugs But not like Courtney Love did drugs You won’t find me At a podium coked up My drugs are legal They’re not for pleasure or excess They’re for conditions like menstral cramps or IBS So if you find me in the bathroom popping pills No need to worry because my drugs they do not kill Side effects may include vertigo, voyeurism, loose stool, Dan Kristie Syndrome, upset stomach, damn my foot hurts,an erection that lasts exactly 4 hours, random allergies, adult onset virginity, and the worst of all side-effects the Breakdown (She) I make drugs

Cat Daddy 03:59
Some girls like a man with riches But that’s where my heart switches No, I’m look-ing-for-a-man… who can pet my pussies- plural Count em three, yes indeed, need that Cat Daddy Just a loving man, no time to be pet-ty. Cat Daddy come set my heart free Cause if you’re nice to my cats, you can come see me This is the Chorus Cat Daddy, Cat Daddy Tell me ‘bout your cats Miss My little girl Sibley is calico lady Her fur is brown and black and white shadies She’ll use a clean wash basket just like a litter box But she’s a really great snuggler so I forgive a lot She’s a little bit chunky and meows at night But my Cat Daddy hunky will treat her right This is the Chorus Cat Daddy, Cat Daddy Lazy afternoon, let’s go to the PetSmart Load up all the kitty treats and litter in the shopping cart Grab a big bag of high fiber cat chow Your pussy pantry will be set for a month now Tell me ‘bout your cats Miss Dorito is my ginger cat some say a bad seed Everything belongs to him and rules he won’t heed He has a big head and is really kind of vain His number two’s on the floor can be a big pain But my Cat Daddy he hunk he will not care He’ll clean up the poop, then brush Dorito’s hair This is the Chorus Cat Daddy, Cat Daddy Let me stand in line waiting for the register While regulars calculate their pet expenditures They’re freakin’ at the fifty cent mark up on the Fancy Feast Feed your felines first, feed your family or you’ll get fleas Tell me bout your cats Miss. One last cat, yeah his name is Churchill He’s always on adventures makes a mountain from a molehill Cerebellar Hypoplasia makes him stumble like a sailor But it’s all the same to him, he’ll never be a hater Cat daddy hunk ‘preciates his fluffy tail The cat that likes this pussy gets my love without fail This is the Chorus Cat Daddy, Cat Daddy I’ll take a second mortgage just to keep your pussy fed Pinchin’ all my pennies to provide for your purebred How can I afford to take the best care of your tabby? Baby? I’m a rich Cat Daddy He’s the Cat Daddy An epilog for this song, hope I don’t get the gong, another cat in the mix and it’s not Shelly Long. That’s right I lied - sorry - guess what - surprise pussy! Cat Daddy take some time, with Number 4 in line It’s my… personality Cat Daddy, Cat Daddy Cat Daddy, Cat Daddy

Cthulhu 03:10
Come here child and dry your tears and I'll tell you a tale That sets your stupid problem to a different scale About a fearsome creature that will change your point of view He's ancient has a tenacled face his name is Cthulhu! Cthulthu, Cthultu, his evil power is streaming In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulthu waits dreaming Some say he's a dragon hybrid with an octopus with a man-like body he causes quite a fuss He's imprisoned under water until the stars come through His home is eldritch, dark as death, just like Cthulhu! Cthulthu, Cthulthu, children will be screaming In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulthu waits dreaming Cthulhu likes to haunt your dreams until you wake at dawn He's a high priest to the Old Ones, and summons demon spawn He won't hide eggs at Easter nor give gifts to you He plants evil in the dreams of men our master Cthulhu! Cthulthu, Cthulthu, with evil power is teaming In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulthu waits dreaming Humans are like insects Cthulhu waits to smash 'Cept for insane cultists who burn innocents to ash He won't teach you to count or read or even tie your shoe He steals our souls and feeds on fear, that rascal Cthulhu! Cthulthu, Cthulthu, children now are screaming In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulthu waits dreaming So if you're in the woods at night and see a ring of fire Just look past the bodies piled on the pyre Our squid-faced bud is ten miles high and throws your mind askew It's time to say your prayers and run (doubletime) if you see Cthulhu! (spoken together) Cthulhu!

Sometimes the days are long You need someone to be strong You feel alone and need a hand to hold Sometimes there’s no one there To console you when you’re scared And so you go into the cold and go back home. And there behind the window sits A warm familiar silhouette You turn your key and suddenly you see Cardboard Harrison Ford I’ve got my own Han Solo So when I’m flying solo I’ll feel fine Sometimes he sits with me at dinner And I feel like I’m a winner as we talk about our days. Sometimes, I leave him in the window So burglars think I’m home so I don’t have to pull a “Home Alone” And though I know he’s made of pulp He can always cheer me up My paper-mate, he corrugates my heart Cardboard Harrison Ford I’ve got my own Han Solo So when I’m flying solo I feel fine Cardboard Harrison Ford I’d say “I love you” but he knows Even though he’s not alive “From the moment we locked eyes at the dorm poster fair, I knew were we meant to be. I needed a loveable scoundrel and you needed to be unfolded. From that moment on we have been friends, partners, and you’re also a really great holiday decoration. Seriously, my neighbors love your season to season themes- even if you are aiming a blaster in their direction. I know we’ve had some low points, like when you brought home that cardboard Callista Flockheart. But we talked through it and she went out with the recycling. Now I just look forward to getting into your cardboard helicopter to see the world- and since you’re such a stand-up guy maybe even the universe.” Cardboard Harrison Ford I’ve got my own Han Solo So when I’m flying solo I feel fine He’s Cardboard Harrison Ford He says “I love you,” I say “I know.” Even though he’s not alive Na-na-na Na Na Na-na-na Na Na Na-na-na Na Na Harrison Ford Cardboard Harrison Ford I’ve got my own Han Solo So when I’m flying solo I feel fine

It’s Saturday Night and the gang’s back together Just like the good old days, it will be great We’ll hit every bar and we’ll drink like we’re rock stars But maybe not stay out so late We’re storming the town so you better watch out We’re moving to the front of the crowd And we’ll dance in wild bacchanalia Though this music’s a little too loud Is there anything better than good old friends? Being together is just like heaven Let’s live like we did in those good old days But I’d like to be in bed by eleven Drink friends to all our adventures To our loves and the battles we’ve fought Let’s relive them tonight while we’re able Except this time I’m not doing shots Is there anything better than good old friends? Bonds that never will break Let’s live like we did in those good old days Only now I have a tummy ache This time ten years ago we had rose glasses We had hope and felt so much bliss It was great to be with all of you here To remind me just how much I hate this Is there anything better than good old friends? In the past and also the present Let’s live like we did in those good old days But this evening has been most unpleasant

about

Mean Wendy Band’s long-awaited sophomore album, “Live from Five Bathrooms” is an artistic conquest of the pandemic we/ve all had to deal with. After the success of our remotely recorded (from 5 bathrooms/closets/man-caves) single, “6 Feet Closer to You,” Wendy and the Man Band knew they had another album of material that they had to get out to the world in case it closed again.

Recorded over the summer of 2021 at Philadelphia’s own Retro City Studios, Mean Wendy Band’s newest album aims to capture that live, secretly relatable and sometimes goofy energy we’ve been missing in performing live. Concert-goers may be stuck at home for the time being, but you can always hear Mean Wendy Band… “Live from Five Bathrooms.”
