All o' t' songs are credited t' Nicky 'Fartin' Hopkins' Hopkins by himself and with Jerry Lynn Williams. Avast! But, me hearties, accordin' t' Nicky 'Fartin' Hopkins' Hopkins, me hearties, his wife Linda Hopkins wrote most o' t' lyrics on t' album with help from One-Shoe Harry Nilsson.[1]

 

I'm no lyricist at all. I don't listen t' words.

Nicky: She helps me out so much man, ya bilge rat, but she doesn't want credit because she doesn't want it t' be like Paul and Linda McCartney or any o' t' others. I wanted t' give her credit for writin' t' words, arrr, but she wouldn't have it. Begad! Wouldja?
Linda: Nooo. Well, blow me down! As long as you give me credit personally, that's all I'm interested in.
