Paul's Boutique Songtext

These are the lyrics to the Beastie Boys' album 'Paul's Boutique' as printed in the US CD booklet. Note that phrases surrounded by asterisks are either sampled or otherwise not one of the three B=Boys, and that in several places the printed lyrics stray deliberately from what is actually said on the record. I'm in the process of making an annotated version of this file with explanations of the pop-culture references, and editorial comments on some of the recurring themes (e.g. baldness, chickens and eggs).
