Mister, mister, mister, We could use a man like you. We only have a couple dollars, And you’ve got a few. We’d like to take you to our house And get your good advice. That would be nice. Mister, mister, mister, We’re so glad to have you here. We have so many questions, And we’re glad that you appeared. We all have worked so heavily, We’ve given all we’ve got; That’s a lot. Mister, mister, mister, You’re the giant that we need. Our malls are built so highly That we can’t see past our need. We have so many deities, But no one ever calls. We’re just dolls. Mister, mister, we could use a man like you. (x3) Mister, mister, mister, We could use a man like you. We only have a couple dollars, And you’ve got a few. We’d like to take you to our house And get your good advice. That would be nice. Mister, mister, mister, We can’t tell you why you’re here. We know much less than you do, Though we’ve been here many years. We’re all waiting for Tina To return and set us straight. It’s getting late. Mister, mister, mister, Won’t you help us get our due? We’d love to have you with us, And we’d love to follow you. The road ahead might lead us To the Tina dwelling place. Let’s make haste. Mister, mister, we could use a man like you. (x3) Mister, mister, we could use a man like you. (x3)

Hey mister, Won’t you come along And sing a song with me? Hey mister, Don’t just shake your head And pug your nose at me. Hey mister, Won’t you lend a hand And join the band with me? Hey mister, You’ll be doing fine, Just take a line with me. Hey mister, Won’t you lend a hand And join the band with me? Hey mister, Won’t you come along And sing a song with me? Hey mister, Just take a line, You’ll be feeling fine like me. Hey mister, Don’t just shake your head And pug your nose at me.

about

Source Mirror Record Vol. 2 is devoted to The World of Tina, the "rock operetta" written and performed by The Cubby Creatures in 1998. The World of Tina tells the story of Astro who goes for a drive one day, crashes his car and wakes up in a different world surrounded by little baby doll people who need Astro to help them find Tina. The Cubby Creatures performed this rock operetta at the Peacock Lounge in San Francisco on April 11, 1998, but never recorded it in a studio setting. The recording that is Source Mirror Record Vol. 2 is taken from rehearsal recordings and 4-track tapes with some overdubs added in the last few months. The result is, as Cubby co-founder Jol Devitro declares "up there amongst the weirdest of musical recordings" and Cubby Control Records proprietor Brian Weaver describes as "an odd, humorous, silly, psychedelic and altogether unique piece of music and storytelling."
