MENOPAUSE 
I'm running hot, I'm running cold
I'm sick and tired of getting old
Sex with my husband is becoming rare
I never give him his sexual share
Say hello to life's frustrations
Say goodbye to my menstruation
I never had an education like
Menopause, Menopause
I hit my son during my hot flash
That bastard was pointing out my new moustache
The house is a wreck and I don't care
I just sit around in men's underwear
Someone please turn up the fan
I try to resist all I can
I think I'm turning into a man
Menopause, Menopause
Help me!
I bitch, bitch, bitch and I don't know why
Then I say I'm sorry and I start to cry
I'm such a terror in my own home
My body's playing scrabble with my hormones
Say Hello to life's frustrations
my nights are filled with perspiration
I never asked for this alteration called
Menopause, Menopause
I'm running hot, I'm running cold
I'm sick and tired of getting old
Sex with my husband is becoming rare
I never give him his sexual share
Say Hello to life's frustrations
Say goodbye to my menstruation
I never had an education like
Menopause, Menopause
MRS. FLETCHER'S TRIBUTE (I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP) 
I've fallen and I can't get up
I'd let you in, but your just out of luck
Can't get the telephone or open the door
You see I've fallen on the bathroom floor
I've fallen and I can't get up
Don't stop the party, I'm used to this stuff
Spin me round the floor a couple of times
They'll get the doctor, I'll be fine, fine, fine
Happens to me every party or two
I lose my pacemaker, it's nothing new
Don't you fuss or break a sweat
I may be down but it ain't over yet
I've fallen and I can't get up
Don't stop the party, I'm used to this stuff
Spin me round the floor a couple of times
They'll get the doctor, I'll be fine, fine, fine
I hit the button on this beeper here
The house fills up and I offer them beer
They say it's off to the hospital now
I say, "Oh man, don't have a cow"
I've fallen and I can't get up
Don't stop the party, I'm used to this stuff
Spin me round the floor a couple of times
They'll get the doctor, I'll be fine, fine, fine
I've fallen and I can't get up
Don't stop the party, I'm used to this stuff
Spin me round the floor a couple of times
They'll get the doctor, I'll be fine, fine, fine
Liner Notes: JoDina usually rolls on the stage floor during this performance.
SEDATED 
Twenty, twenty, twenty more pills to take
I hate to be sedated.
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go
I hate to be sedated.
Get me to the airport, put me on a plane
Hurry, hurry, hurry before I go insane
They think it's on my fingers,
I know it's in my brain
Twenty, twenty, twenty more pills to take
I hate to be sedated.
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go
I hate to be sedated.
Put me on a bike, get me to the park
Hurry, hurry, hurry before it gets too dark
They think it's on my fingers
I know it's in my brain
Twenty, twenty, twenty more pills to take
I hate to be sedated.
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go
I hate to be sedated.
Put me on a Harley, get me to the store
Hurry, hurry, hurry before they give me more
They think it's on my fingers
I know it's on my toes
Twenty, twenty, twenty more pills to take
I hate to be sedated.
Nothin' to do, nowhere to go
I hate to be sedated.
Put me on a golf cart, get me to the course
Hurry, hurry, hurry before I have no force
They think it's on my fingers
I know it's on my toes
I hate to be sedated.
I hate to be sedated.
I hate to be sedated.
Liner Notes: I Wanna Be Sedated - The Ramones
RED TAPE 
Liner Notes: During live performances JoDina is often seen going around the locale wrapping paper ribbons or toilet paper around the audience.
HARD BODY 
Liner Notes: This is the song where JoDina pulls a random male audience member on stage as an illustrative specimen... This song was inspired by one of JoDina's many boyfriends.
LET'S GET CRAZY 
Went to a party, down at Joey's place
bought me some Geritol, drinkin' it by the case
The music they were playin' was just a disgrace
So I picked up my guitar and I started to play
Let's get crazy
Dance, dance til we get hazy
Come on kids, let's get crazy
The neighbors couldn't stand it, the cops couldn't too
I didn't care and neither did you
I'm drinkin' my Geritol, so I'm not lazy
Now these guys look like Patrick Swayzee
Let's get crazy
Dance, dance til we get hazy
Come on kids, let's get crazy
We're rockin' grandparents
With a new appearance
We don't need a clearance
To spend our kids inheritance
We're lookin' for a good time
Not gonna walk that straight line
Let's get crazy, let's get face lifts,
Let's get tummy tucks, let's get butt lifts,
Dance, dance til we get hazy
Come on kids, let's get crazy
ACHES, PAINS, CAPITAL GAINS 
Aches, pain, capital gains
We've paid social security
We don't like to complain
But life's gettin' nutzo, sometimes it's the pits
When we see our friends names in the obits
With Soaps we cope and tell retirement jokes
We look forward to our Geritol and proctoscopes
And all we ask retirement to be
Is a life lived well with dignity
Now we're senior citizens
And proud of our lives
We've loved our husbands and loved our wives
We've worked hard and we've done our best
And now that we're retired
We deserve some rest
Aches, pain, capital gains
We've paid social security
We don't like to complain
But life's gettin' nutzo, sometimes it's the pits
When we see our friends names in the obits
With Soaps we cope and tell retirement jokes
We look forward to our Geritol and proctoscopes
And all we ask retirement to be
Is a life lived well with dignity
The grandkids visit and they're lots of fun
We relive our lives and we exaggerate some
We love them and spoil them
And ply them with snacks
At the end of the visit,
We got to give them back
Aches, pain, capital gains
We've paid social security
We don't like to complain
But life's gettin' nutzo, sometimes it's the pits
When we see our friends names in the obits
With Soaps we cope and tell retirement jokes
We look forward to our Geritol and proctoscopes
And all we ask retirement to be
Is a life lived well with dignity
And all that we ask retirement to be
Is a restaurant that's quiet and completely child-free.

Liner Notes: The Dead Milkmen
ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE 
I try to cough but phlegm won't come up
I've hacked and wheezed 'til I've had enough
I ache all day from my head to my toes
I'm anal retentive, my bowels won't let go
Every morning, when I awake
I open my eyes and find the pills I take
When my heart starts, I even feel spry
But if you ask how I'm doin', it's my duty to lie
'Cause I've got
One foot in the grave
while the other one's still in bed
When I wake up movin',
That's when I know I ain't dead
So, as long as I'm breathin',
You know I'll never behave
With one foot still in bed
And one foot in the grave
Just 'cause I'm old, don't mean I'm dumb
I haven't spent eighty years suckin' my thumb
You might have computers, VCRs, microwaves
But I haven't drunk too much aftershave
If you think I'm senile and have run out of gas
I'll smile and tell you, "I'll whip your ass"
As long as I'm movin', I won't be a slave
'Cause I got your money and only
One foot in the grave
while the other one's still in bed
When I wake up movin',
That's when I know I ain't dead
So, as long as I'm breathin',
You know I'll never behave
With one foot still in bed
And one foot in the grave
One foot in the grave
while the other one's still in bed
When I wake up movin',
That's when I know I ain't dead
So, as long as I'm breathin',
You know I'll never behave
With one foot still in bed
And one foot in the grave
