    Ratchetjaw

    By Bill Fries & Chip Davis

    Yeeeee Hawwww !
    Merciful sakes alive!
    You wanna be one a them CBers
    You gonna have to learn how to Ratchetjaw!
    Pay attention now
    Cause I'm only gonna 'splain it to ya once!


    You gotta go runnin' amok in a pick'em-up truck
    With one a them fancy side-bands
    Get a four-on-the-floor, and a two-on-the-door
    Get a power mike in yer jaw hand
    Prepare to strike, when key that mike
    Cause ya never know who's a listenin'
    Some clown insists on a 10-36
    This here's what ya give him:

    Four good buddy, I made me a study
    An' I figure it's the dark a the moon son
    It's half past spring, an' a quarter to fall
    An' the big hand's a settin' on noon son
    Now the fish don't bite
    An' the almanac's right
    An' my ground hog see's his shadow
    A 10-36 goes tick-tock-tick
    And that's what I call Ratchetjaw

    Gotta git ya a base out there at yer place
    With a fourty foot pole on the chimney
    With a thousand watts in yer flower pots
    An' a ree-mote line to the biffy
    If ya feel a twitch when ya throw the switch
    Ya gonna dim all the lights in Witchita
    Gonna send out a wave
    Make a government raid
    And this here's what ya tell'em all

    Four good buddy, yer comin' in cruddy
    But yer walkin' right through my wall boy
    Yer carrier's cool, you a makin' me drool
    You a definitely battin' my ball boy
    You hittin' me round, about fifteen pounds
    You a cuttin' me up like a bandsaw
    But what the heck
    It's just a radio check
    And that there's how ta Ratchetjaw!

    Breaker, Breaker, Breaker, Breaker, we lookin' fer that one Buffalo Roy out there - Buffalo Roy what's yer 20? - Where are you anyway Buffalo Roy? Are you out there? Come on in there Buffalo Roy - 10-4
    {Starts after the 4th breaker} Listen you, shut up on all them breakers. One breaker's enough … (???) … channel all the time. I can't understand a thing anybody's sayin'
    {Comes in loud after the first Buffalo Roy} Buffalo Roy?! That's a dumb handle!
    {The first part is done by Bill and pitch shifted up, the 2nd and 3rd parts are also Bill, but in a normal tone}

    Wanna feel some pain just turn up yer gain
    Get a fearful earfull of garbage
    To supress a belch, just hit yer squelch
    You can out all the carnage
    You wanna have fun, you son-of-a-guns
    Just git on yer press to talk switch
    You gonna amuse 'em
    An' really confuse 'em
    With a little ol' thing called Ratchetjaw!

    Yeah let them suckers think yer a trucker
    Say stuff they cain't understand son
    Just bounce up and down
    While yer toolin' around
    Gonna sound like a truck drivin' man son
    Just tell yer beaver that you gonna leave her
    You'll catch her on the bouce around
    If she comes back with a smart off crack
    Say "XYL this is show'n tell
    We definitely got us to go now
    Keep yer pants on honey, hang on the money
    Yer XYM's gotta blow now
    Eighty-eight thirds, an' feed my bird
    An' all them numbers upon ya'll
    If speed don't kill, then CB will
    And that's what I call Ratchetjaw

    Breaker, breaker, breaker, breaker …{A constant mess of breakers, an' 10-4s, an' laughin' goin' on}
    Yeah 10-4, we got ya breaker. Come back on that. Say what kinda... 's not... some kinda cotton pickin' you puttin' me on aren't ya, yeah, you puttin' me on aren't ya - Heh Heh Heh, Ho Ho Ho Ho, Ho Hee Hee Ha Ha Ha Ha, Heh Heh Heh Heh Ha Ha Ha Ha, 10-4, 10-4… {This part comes in at the 4th breaker, and has been pitch shifted, startin' out real low, and goin' to Alvin an' The Chipmunks by the last 10-4s}
