Kishka Anthem
Lyrics by Phaulonius J Knucklebones

Tell us where the party is and we will bring the sausages
Give us the directions and we’ll try to get the beer
If it is a bar-b-que we try to procure venison
We promise to behave we want to come again next year

We have no way to get there so we ask you provide ride for us
Transportation is a challenge when we carry so much food.
Elephant or taxi rickshaw bicycle or gondola
Bus we don’t prefer because our chickens disturb the driver-dude.

Chorus:
we love you all we love you more we love you better than the best

we telling you this now because maybe you remember when we forget.

Only half of us are drinking and fewer of us smoke a bit
We’re polite and pay attention and we always wash our hands
This party is so quiet so we energize it up a bit
We always bring our instruments we're Creaking Plankses band!

Chorus:

we love you all we love you more we love you better than the best

we tell you now because maybe later doesn't make us any sense
