Dookietown(2024)OverviewTracksLyrics
Dookietown is a six-track EP recorded during a break in production of the album Dr. Dark. It acknowledges the 2024 United States presidential election and the increasingly pressing question "Where do clowns go when the show is over?"
The EP's concept actually dates back to the 1990s. When the Residents uncovered notes pertaining to it, they quickly recorded the songs as best they could remember them.
Dookietown was released as a 10" vinyl record by Cherry Red Records on November 1st, 2024. In addition, the composer Ego Plum created a special mix, "Duck Sauce Refried," which was put out as a limited objet d'art by Psychofon records in anticipation of the new Residents release.
Note: THIS IS NOT PART ONE OF THE DR DARK PROJECT.

Duck sauce
Duck sauce
I don't know why he hated me
Didn't know what to do
I don't know why he hated me
Didn't know what to do
Duck sauce
Duck sauce
I didn't know why he hated me
Didn't know what to do
I didn't know why he hated me
I knew I hate to shoot
I am just a clown who loves his duck
He was Chinese and he drove a truck
I asked for sauce he said you're out of luck
I grabbed my gun then I said you suck
I love duck meat but it must have sauce
he brought me me meat but there was no sauce!
I shot him dead senseless he lost the sauce
I love duck, I love to eat duck
But it has to have sauce
It's just not the same without the sauce
You know what I mean?
Oh yeah
Dookietown
All the clowns in Dookietown
hang around all day
With their smiles turned upside down
and nothing much to say
Yummy yummy
Bloody gummy
Yummy yummy
Bloody gummy
Dying clowns are not so funny
then they get their dying bunnies
then they taste their bleeding gummies
as they leak into their dummies
Clown Car
No one is laughing
No one cares
No one is laughing
No one cares
No one is laughing
Everyone is scared
Life is just a silly clown car
filled with elbows, knees, and clown parts
making fame and food and crashing
into elephants and laughing
I miss the phony eyes that hit me
and the crippled kids that kissed me
standing on their tippy toes
and grinning at my bulbous nose
Pujo's Revenge
Pujo's Fufu
Pujo's Fufu
Pujo's Fufu
Pujo's Fufu
No one knows a clown named Fufu
made my mother mad and cry too
she hit him because he said no
and he called her Precious Pujo
Precious Pujo was a no go
so she screamed and broke his big toe
The Crying Clown
A crying clown once looked me in the eye
and he said he'd rather become blind
and lose his sorry misbegotten mind
than lie awake at night and wonder why
Lie awake at night
and wonder why
and wonder why
I cry
Dead Already
Help me
I'm a broken down clown please help me
Help me
I'm a broken down clown please help me
Feed me need me
Feed me need me
Feed me need me
Feed me need me
Feed me need me
Feed me need me
Heal me feel me
Heal me feel me
Heal me feel me
Help me
I'm a broken down clown please help me
Help me
I'm a broken down clown please help me
Please me treat me
Please me treat me
Help me
I'm a broken down clown please help me
Help me
I'm a broken down clown
Help me
I could be dead already
I could be dead already
I could be dead already
but I'm not
