And he was performing his avant-garde Elise act in a club in Queens. The performance started with Andy playing the bongos, and for some unknown reason, sobbing. We became friends and I acted as Andy's straight man in clubs and field trips. At the Improv in New York Andy would begin his show by insulting women and saying, ??I won't respect them until one of them comes up here and wrestles me down.?? This was supposed to be my job. I sat in the club drinking whiskies trying to get up the nerve. In the meantime I was also supposed to be heckling him. And after three whiskies I managed to get pretty abusive.

And I was supposed to beg him for one of the huge stuffed bunnies. ??Oh Andy Honey, please get me a bunny, please, please.?? Finally Andy would step up to the big thermometer and take a swing. The indicator would rise a few inches and ??Try again, weakling!?? would flash. At this point Andy would start yelling that the game was wicked and demanding to see the manager.

Before the ride actually starts, there are a couple of awkward minutes while the attendant checks the motor and the riders, bound head and foot, stare at each other. This was the moment that Andy seized. He would start by looking around in a panick and then he would start to cry. ??I don't wanna be on this ride, I've changed my mind; we're all gonna die.?? The other riders would look ar Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Losing Grip, Mobile, My World, Naked, Nobodys Fool, Sk8er Boi, Things Ill Never Say, Tomorrow, To Much To Ask, Dont Tell Me, Fall to Pieces, Forgotten, Freak Out, He Wasnt, My Happy Ending, Nobodys Home, Slipped Away, Take Me Away, Together, Im With You, Things Ill Never Say, Unwanted, I Dont Give, I Always Get What I Want, Knockin On Heavens Door, Get Over It, Come Sunday Morning, Happy Birthday, Hell To Pay, Imagining You, Its Alright, Its Ok, Kiss Me Goodbye, Mother Tongue, Problem Child, Who Are They To Say, Will You Still Love Me, Blood and Honey, Enigma (Give a Bit of MMH to Me), Follow Me, Lili Marleen, Never Trust a Pretty Face, Fashion Pack, Fever, Guys Like Me, High On Sunday 51, Humpty Dumpty, Invisible Ink, Lost In Space, Real Bad News, The Moth, Other Anderson Laurie song Lyrics Beautiful Pea Green Boat Lyrics Beautiful Red Dress Lyrics Big Science Lyrics Blue Lagoon Lyrics Born, Never Asked Lyrics Bright Red Lyrics Broken Lyrics Coolsville Lyrics Dark Angel Lyrics Excellent Birds Lyrics Freefall Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Laurie Freelove Lyrics Laurie Hugh Lyrics Laurie London Lyrics Laurnea Lyrics Hill Lauryn Lyrics Lauryn Hill Lyrics Lauryn Hill & Bob Marley Lyrics Lauryn Hill & Tanya Blount Lyrics Lauryn Hill And Bob Marley Lyrics Lauryn Hill f Carlos Santana Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
