Do ya feel lucky, punk?

No cavities

Something in my eye

Sky high

Am I forgetting something?

Bailout

Belly rub

Up in the air

I'm gonna get you

I know what you're going to say

Do the boogie woogie

Hit and run

Frenemies

When we were kings

Hear no evil

Does that hurt?

That tickles

In your face

Don't let go

XOXO

My kingdom for a miracle

Up goes the finger

L is for...

The cow jumped over...

Scream

These old shades?

Spilt it

Three kings

Hold me tight

It'll all end in tears

Come to my arms

The three stooges

For the last time...

Paint job

Got the blues

Band of brothers

All too much

When you know the notes to sing

Weight on my shoulders

Come and get it
