"Be-Bop-a-Kristin"
(to the tune of "Be-Bop-a-Lula")

Be-bop-a-Kristin, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-Kristin, I don't mean maybe

Chorus:
Be-bop-a-Kristin, she's my baby
Be-bop-a-Kristin, I don't mean maybe
Be-bop-a-Kristin, she's my baby doll
My baby doll, my baby doll

She's the gal in the blue jumpsuit
She's the queen of all the docs
She's the one that I know
She's the one that loves me so

Chorus

She's the one that's got the brains
She's the one with the strong opinions
She's the one that walks around the boat
She's the one that yells "More science"

Chorus

"Crockerland"
(to the tune of "Dixie')

I wish I was in the land of Crocker,
Old men there are not forgotten,
Look away!
Look away!
Look away!
Crockerland.

In Crockerland where I was born in,
Early on one frosty mornin',
Look away!
Look away!
Look away!
Crockerland.

I wish I was in the south,
Hooray! Hooray!
In Crockerland I'll take my stand
To live and die in the south,
Away, away,
Away down south with Crocker!
Away, away,
Away down south with Crocker!

"Crocker's Theme"
(to the tune of "Long Tall Texan" by the Beach Boys)

Well I'm a big fat Texan
I live in a big black sub
(He lives underwater in a big black sub)
Well I'm a big fat Texan
I live in a big black sub
(He lives underwater in a big black sub)
Well people look at me and say
Ooh wah ooh wah, is that your sub?
(He lives underwater in a big black sub)

Well I'm a big fat Texan
I wear a seaQuest hat
(He lives underwater with a seaQuest hat)
Well I'm a big fat Texan
I wear a seaQuest hat
(He lives underwater with a seaQuest hat)
Well people look at me and say
Ooh wah ooh wah, is that your hat?
(He lives underwater with a seaQuest hat)

Well I was walkin' down the hall
With my shiny gun
My gun jinglin' down on my hip
I seen a man a comin'
Comin' with a gun
And I just can't be beat

Well I'm a big fat Texan
I enforce justice for the law
(He rides underwater to enforce justice for the law)
Well I'm a big fat Texan
I enforce justice for the law
(He rides underwater to enforce justice for the law)
Well people look at me and say
Ooh wah ooh wah, well you're the law?
(He rides underwater to enforce justice for the law)

"I Get Around"
(to the tune of the song of the same name by the Beach Boys)

'Round 'round, get around, I get around
Yeah get around, 'round 'round, I get around

I get around 'round 'round, I get around
Around town
I get around 'round 'round, I get around
I'm a real cool guy
I get around 'round 'round, I get around
I'm makin' real good friends
I get around 'round 'round, I get around

I'm gettin' bored sailin' up and down the same old seas
I gotta find a new place where I can explore
My buddies and me are gettin' real well known
Yeah the bad guys know us and they leave us alone

I get around 'round 'round, I get around
Around town
I get around 'round 'round, I get around
I'm a real cool guy
I get around 'round 'round, I get around
I'm makin' real good friends
I get around 'round 'round, I get around

I get around
Get around 'round 'round, ooh
Wah wah ooh, wah wah ooh, wah wah ooh

We always take my sub 'cause it's never been beat
And we never missed yet with the girls we meet
None of the guys are married 'cause it wouldn't be right
To leave the best girls on the beach on the weekend

I get around 'round 'round, I get around
Around town
I get around 'round 'round, I get around
I'm a real cool guy
I get around 'round 'round, I get around
I'm makin' real good friends
I get around 'round 'round, I get around

I get around
Get around 'round 'round, ooh
Wah wah ooh, wah wah ooh, wah wah ooh

'Round 'round, get around, I get around
(repeat out)

"Kristin"
(to the tune of "Sheila")

Sweet little Kristin
You'll know her if you see her
Blue eyes and a pony tail
Cheeks are rosy
She looks a little nosy
Man this little girl is fine
Never knew a girl
Like my little Kristin
Her name drives me insane
Sweet little girl
That's my little Kristin
Man this little girl is fine

Me and Kristin go for a swim
Oh, oh, oh, feelin' funny inside
Then little Kristin whispers in my ear
Oh, oh, oh, I love you Kristin dear
Kristin said she loved me
Said she'll never leave me
Our love will never die
We're so doggone happy
Just bein' 'round together
Man this little girl is fine

Never knew a girl
Like my little Kristin
Her name drives me insane
Sweet little girl
That's my little Kristin
Man this little girl is fine

Me and Kristin go for a swim
Oh, oh, oh, feelin' funny inside
Then little Kristin whispers in my ear
Oh, oh, oh, I love you Kristin dear
Kristin said she loved me
Said she'll never leave me
Our love will never die
We're so doggone happy
Just bein' 'round together
Man this little girl is fine

Oh, this little girl is fine

"Malcolm's Turn to Cry"
(to the tune of "Judy's Turn to Cry" by Leslie Gore)

Now it's Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
'Cause Kristin's come back to me

Oh, when Kristin left the boat to work with Malcolm
And came back with him in tow
I felt hurt and betrayed by both
Now that was a foolish thing

'Cause now it's Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
'Cause Kristin's come back to me

Well it hurt me so to see them work together
I felt like makin' a scene
Then my tears just fell like raindrops
'Cause Malcolm just didn't see

But now it's Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
'Cause Kristin's come back to me

One night I sat and talked it out with Kristin
And she thought about it too
Then she told Malcolm it's over
'Cause she still loved me that's why

So now it's Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
'Cause Kristin's come back to me

Yeah now it's Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
Malcolm's turn to cry
'Cause Kristin's come back to me

"The Ballad of Nate"
(to the tune of "The Ballad of Jed" theme to the Beverly Hillbillies)

(my sisters get partial credit for this one, inspired by the summer heat)

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Nate
Poor islander, barely kept his dolphin fed
Then one day he was catchin' some rays
And from nowhere came his friend the Admiral
Noyce that is
William
Billy

Well the next thing you know old Nate's a Captain 'gain
The dolphin pod said "Nate move away from here,
seaQuest DSV is the place you ought to be"
So he packed up his launch and moved to the sub
Marine that is
Tin can
Below the sea

Well now it's time to say good-bye to Nate and all his crew
They would like to thank you all for stoppin' by
And you're all invited back again to their boat
To give a hand in helpin' in a most important mission
Military that is
Shoot a terrorist
Save a life

Ya all come back now, ya hear

This last one is based on a pretty obscure song, so I'm including the original lyrics as well. And I'm not making this song up, it's a real song.

"You Got What It Takes"
(based on the song of the same name by Marv Johnson)

You may drive a big fine sub
But you don't look like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far

But baby you got what it takes
To satisfy
You got what it takes
To set my soul on fire
Wooha, oh yeah
You got what it takes for me

Now you may live in a beautiful place
But you don't dress with the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby you got what it takes
To satisfy
You got what it takes
To set my soul on fire
Wooha, oh yeah
You got what it takes for me

Now when you're near me
Ooh wee
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me
Oh yeah
My love comes tumblin' down
You send me

Now you may live in a beautiful place
But you don't dress with the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby you got what it takes
To satisfy
You got what it takes
To set my soul on fire
Wooha, oh yeah
You got what it takes for me

Now when you're near me
Ooh wee
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me
Oh yeah
My love comes tumblin' down
You send me

Now you may live in a beautiful place
But you don't dress with the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby you got what it takes
To satisfy
You got what it takes
To set my soul on fire
Wooha, oh yeah
You got what it takes for me


 
 
 
 

"You Got What It Takes"
Marv Johnson

You don't drive a big fine car
You don't look like a movie star
And on your money we won't get far

But baby you got what it takes
To satisfy
You got what it takes
To set my soul on fire
Wooha, oh yeah
You got what it takes for me

Now you don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress with the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby you got what it takes
To satisfy
You got what it takes
To set my soul on fire
Wooha, oh yeah
You got what it takes for me

Now when you're near me
Ooh wee
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me
Oh yeah
My love comes tumblin' down
You send me

Now you don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress with the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby you got what it takes
To satisfy
You got what it takes
To set my soul on fire
Wooha, oh yeah
You got what it takes for me

Now when you're near me
Ooh wee
My head goes around and around
And when you kiss me
Oh yeah
My love comes tumblin' down
You send me

Now you don't live in a beautiful place
You don't dress with the best of taste
And nature didn't give you such a beautiful face

But baby you got what it takes
To satisfy
You got what it takes
To set my soul on fire

You got what it takes for me
