Rock and stroll
Rock 'n' Roll forgot
An empty room
An empty chair
But I'm the one
Who's sitting there
just sitting there
See my reflection
On the wall
But there's no mirror
There's just nothing at all
no, oh
Not a sound
Not a word
'cause I'm the one
who'll never be heard
no, never be heard, yeah
Chorus :
'cause I'm, I'm the one
who Rock and Roll forgot
Hmmm, Mmm
Rock and Roll forgot
Hmmm, Mmm
A dusty room
filled with, with broken strings
A lonely hall
where no one will ever sing
The mem'ries last
forever before
The moment's past
worth nothing worth waiting for more
Not a word
Not a sound
'cause I'm the one
who'll never be found
no, never be found
Chorus

Chorus
Can you feel the mem'ries ( creepin' up on you ) ?
Can you feel the mem'ries creepin' up on you ?
Can you see the good times through the black and the blue ?
Only time will tell you if your love is true
So can you feel the mem'ries creepin' up on you ?
Never fear the laughter, Never fear the rain
Forever and for after, you just fear the pain
Easy to remember, Harder to forget
But it's nothin' that you need if it hasn't gotten to you yet
Repeat first four Verses
Could Be
Could it be I've been waitin' for the wrong thing ?
Could it be you been waitin' for the same ?
Can you see that this could be the right thing ?
Or is it me just dreamin' on again ?
I believe no one has the answers
But I believe the question's in your soul
Ah, don't cha know ?
Can you see that this could be the right thing ?
Or is it me just dreamin' on again ?
Could it be you been waitin' for the wrong thing ?
An' could it be I've been waitin' for the same ?
Ah, who's to blame ?
I believe no one has the answers
But I believe the question's in your soul
Ah, don't cha know ?
Comin' on Back
Jus' wanna say
Jus' wanna say " Hey "
I like to keep it clean, lean, an' mean
Said, I'll be your one-man lovin' machine
I know you've heard it all before
But, Babe, you keep me Comin' on Back for more, yeah
Chorus :
You got me Comin' on Back for more
Said, Babe, you got me Comin' on Back
You got me Comin' on
You got me...Comin'
You've got the long, soft hair
You've got the leg right up to there
An' why you have to talk so sweet ?
How can you be such a physical treat ?
You have the eyes so true
You've got me Comin' on Back to you, yeah
Chorus
Said, C'mon on Back...you've got me...for more...and more...and...
If one day you should leave
I'd feel a pain like you wouldn't believe
When ev'ry hour seem like a year,
A-losin' you, my greatest fear
An' why you have to talk so sweet ?
How can you be such a physical treat ?
Na, nah, nah, now, You have the eyes so true
You've got me Comin' on Back to you, yeah
Chorus
Sep'rate Ways
Babe, What you say today
When you talk about goin' our Sep'rate Ways ?
Hey, What you do to me
When you talk about nothin' but bein' free ?
Whoa, Don't you know it's true
When I say there ain't been nobody but you ?
And, Ooh, What do I do tonight
When there ain't nobody to hold me tight ?
F ' n ' Fame
I wanna be a household name
I wanna be the " F " in " Fame "
I wanna fly my own jet plane
I wanna be a big time star
I wanna drive a fancy car
Let me just tell you just who you are
Want a-thousand girlie-bobs on my lap
Want ten lawyers to beat the rap
You can keep your damn cocaine
I just want the most famous brain
Gimme your money, gimme your love
Tell me I'm the sun/Son sent from above
Tell me the truth, tell me more lies,
Tell me I'm the greatest thing through your eyes
I wanna be a household name
I wanna be the " F " in " Fame "
You'll only have yourself to blame
I wanna be a household name
I might never treat you quite the same
Help me play my selfish game
I wanna be a household name
I wanna be the " F " in " Fame "
I wanna drink the best champagne
What I Want ( and what I get )
Chorus :
What I want

Ain't been the same yet
What I need

Ain't what it should be, no
I been pullin' for the right thing
But end up pushin' on the wrong
I been lookin' for a sure thing
But the sure thing sure don't come along
Chorus
Ain't what it could be, well
Ain't gonna set me free, no

Chorus :
You take the Pomerado Road

You take that long, lonely road

Jumpin' on the backbone

No, I can't see you anymore
Could it be the first last time

You say you don't know what to do
You say you don't know what to say
But you found out where to go
to hide your heart away
You can't see me anymore
Could it be the last time

No Nonce Sense
There was a full moon this mornin'
And the sun was shinin' all last night
This is the way I been feelin'
not so right
I went for a stroll up the "top" walk
An' ev'ryone was runnin' by
I said stop and let's talk
before you pass away an' ...
I don't know where they're goin' ,
but they're on their way
What more can I say ?
I hope they're in today
Green is the grass I been seein'
But it grows in my living room
Blue is the sky I'll be feelin'
all too soon
There was a square in the round one
But there is a triangle in my mind
What was the one in the masses
who we left behind ?
What more can I say ?
I hope He's in today
Razed on Rock 'n' Roll
We got funk
We got soul
We got blues
so I'm told
We got everything from jive to swing
and one thing in between
1st Chorus :
We were raised on Rock 'n' Roll
Gettin' blazed to soothe our souls
Purple Haze took it's toll
Razed on Rock 'n' Roll

You can sing
You can prance
You can dream ( Dream )
We got everything to groove the scene, yeah,
with one thing in between
2nd Chorus :
We were raised on Rock 'n' Roll
Gettin' blazed to soothe our souls
Crazy crazed to smoke our bowls
Razed on Rock 'n' Roll

Feel the bass
Feel the lead

We got everything and in between
to make you jump and scream

California Countre'
California Countre'

than horses
Worn more sandals
than boots
Well, I got palm trees
instead of tumbleweeds
Yep, I sure nuff
know my roots
I'm California Country
Laid back as the setting sun
California Country
I'll rest when all the fun is done
I've seen more coastline

More shorts

I know ' bout brand names
but not brandin'
Lost more shades
than cowboy hats
I'm California Country
Laid back as the slowest tide
California Country
I'll rest after I let it slide
Break :
Well, I've been to Hollywood
But not by Texas way
I've seen Rodeo Drive
But that don't make me Western

Laid back as a dolphin's sigh

I'll rest when the earthquakes die
I'm California Country
Laid back as a moonlight ride

Love for Love ( Somethin' for Nothin' )
She told me my love meant nothin'
I didn't know what to do
So I said, " My love is somethin' for nothin'
and I felt an awful lot o' nothin' for you "
I told 'er, " Nothin' will last forever
Nothin' I say ( , I say, ) is true
Nothin' could keep us together
And nothin' is enough and good for you "
She told me there's somethin' missin'
She told me there's somethin' wrong
So I said, " My love is somethin' for nothin'
and I've felt an awful lot o' somethin' for you so long "
I told 'er, " Somethin' is old and somethin' is new
Somethin' I said ( , I said, ) is always true
Somethin' I heard ( , I heard, ) could break my heart
But there's a-somethin' that could never keep us apart
But nuthin' is somethin' and somethin' is gone
I'm tired o' feelin' nothin' from dusk till dawn
And if ya don't feel somethin' ,
nothin' ain't nothin'
If ya don't feel somethin' ,
nothin' ain't nothin' "
I told 'er, " My love meant somethin' "
She didn't know what to say
So I said, " My love is somethin' for nothin'
and, if ya don't feel nothin' , I'll be on my way "
Repeat Stanzas 2 & 5 and then 6 twice
She told me my love meant...nothin'
One Born Ev'ry Minute ( for a pretty face )
You're out drinkin' with a good friend of yorn
Come across a lady fair
You start thinkin' , " Is there somethin' there,
behind her eyes, within her smile ? "
And all...the while
Chorus :
You know there's one born ev'ry minute
for a pretty face
Is she more than just skin deep ?
There's one born ev'ry minute
for a pretty face
Look long and hard
before you leap
In between the lines is where you'll decide :
Is she real or make-believe ?
You start feelin' fine and you think you see somethin' there,
the way she moves, and through her voice,
it seems...you got no choice,
'cause there's
Chorus
Yeah, there's one born ev'ry minute
for a pretty face
Well, sugar and spice don't mean ev'rything's nice
You better start thinkin' 'bout thinkin' twice
Some sound advice
'cause there's one born ev'ry minute
for a pretty face
If she catches your eye, make sure you get it back
'cause black can be white and white can be black
and that's a sure fact
There's one born ev'ry minute
for a pretty face
Well, what cho see ain't always what cho get
It's how well ya know an' not who you've met
and that's a sure bet
There's one born ev'ry minute
for a pretty face
Young boy time will not tell
But all's swell if it ends well
Ah, what the hell
There's one born ev'ry minute
for a pretty face
It's much more than just a cliche'
It's much more than just a cliche'
One born ev'ry minute anyway...
She may be good lookin'
It's much more than just a cliche'
but nothin's cookin'
Sucker

Love Ain't Blind ( it hits my heart ev'ry time )
I met 'er at a truck stop
Her hours were long
like 'er hair
She talked about the men
who'd done 'er wrong
Same old song
Still, I couldn't keep my eyes off
a-listenin' ta her bend my ear
She took the time to tell me
she lived near to here
So after hours
I found her alone
but with me
She said I should make this my home
sweet home
The passion threw me
Then she caught me
like nobody can
She said, " I hope you understand -
I'm not ready for another man "
Oh, no
Chorus :
And it's the hard lovin'
that's so easy to find
And it's a hard lesson
that keeps crossin' my mind
Love ain't blind
it hits my heart ev'ry time
Oh, yeah
Her name was April
I met 'er in the spring
by the falls
She spoke o' the joy
life couldn't bring
Same old thing
We talked forever
sittin' by the end of the world
She let me know I could stay
I hoped for the whole way
We walked till sunset
darkened the day
with the night
I knew I'd found me a new friend
heaven did send
The passion threw me
Then she caught me
while holdin' my hand
She said, " I hope you understand -
I'm not ready for another man "
Oh, no
Chorus
Break :
Will she ever
come my way ?
I wonder, " How many tomorrows ?
How many todays ? "
So here I sit
waitin' patiently
till some fine lookin' woman
fin' ly comes up to me
and says, " I hope you understand -
said, you could be the man "
Oh, yeah
( Chorus )
And it's the hard lovin'
that's so easy to find
But it's a soft feelin'
that keeps crossin' my mind
Love ain't blind
it hits my heart ev'ry time
Oh, yeah...
Love, love ain't blind
Love, said, love ain't blind
Love, no, love ain't blind,
it hits my heart, well, ev'ry single time
Oh, yeah...
" Here we go : "
Cupid, you're a sharpshootin' fool, yeah
Hit me so hard
knocked me off my bar stool
Cupid, you're a mean little cuss
I wish I didn't love your arrows so much...
Nothin' I can do
Nothin' I can do
to change the way I feel about you
Nothin' you can say
to make me feel a dif 'erent way
An' is there nothin' I can be
to make you feel the same way
about me ?
In the matter of a moment
In the twilight of her mind
I'm a-lessenin' slowly
from my better time
So kick-off the night
and bring on the day
But with the sun or the moon,
I'd still feel the same old way
Hold Your Own
So you throw a stone
But I leave the point alone
And as I'm walkin' away
I can plainly hear you say :
" He can't even hold his own
He don't want no broken bones
I can see why he's alone
He can't even hold his own "
Huntin' On Halloween
" Boo ! "
Far from Walpurgis Night
and by the pale moonlight
we had our rifles packed and ready to go
I had on a three-piece camouflage suit
with the eye of a newt
rolled up in my left shirt sleeve
There were sixteen hunters and me
but the swamp took three
and the quagmire made us move slow
It didn't look too good
Then this guy with a sickle and hood
helped us out by pointin' the way
Well, you could hardly see
till lightnin' started hittin' the trees
after the candle in our Jack-O-Lantern burnt out
Just then I heard a sound
and as we turned back around
we saw a skeleton sportin' a thirty-aught-six
We blew that thing away
just to watch it decay
And we knew right then
we shouldn't a-been
Huntin' On Halloween
Chorus :
Huntin' On Halloween
Huntin' On Halloween
Double Double
Toil And Trouble
Huntin' On Halloween
Well, our campsite looked grim
till The Reaper stepped in
and did his fertility dance
Be'lzebub was on the fiddle
Jack the Ripper in the middle
and Jerry Garcia on bass
We decided to go
long before the second show
after Jeffery Dahmer asked,
" What's for dessert ? "
Prob ' ly should o' waited for the light
but it was Halloween Night
and there was a one-eyed owl
singin' a Julie Andrews song :
" A doe, ( hoo, hoo ) a deer, ( hoo, hoo )
a female deer, ( hoo ) a buck, oh ! "
We shot that owl in the eye
just to see if it could cry
And we knew right there
we oughta beware
of Huntin' On Halloween
( Chorus )
Huntin' On Halloween
Huntin' On Halloween
If you hear me scream
it's just a bad dream
of us
Huntin' On Halloween
Ooh, scary
With Quasimodo off our back,
we finally found a fresh track
of the biggest hoofprints we'd ever seen ;
They led us to a sleepy little hollow,
but they were awful hard to follow
due to the crossin' of a pack o' black cats
We passed the graveyard stench
from some zombie wench
when I spied a mighty ruminant form
Well, we were sure in luck -
it was a two-headed buck
bigger than the one from three winters before
Almost gave up hope
when I looked through my scope
my crosshairs had split-ends
I was dreamin' of a feast
still had a bead on the beast
but Lon Chaney was a-humpin' on my leg
I made that werewolf cry
when my shot went high
Huntin' On Halloween
( Chorus )
Double Double
Toil and Trouble
Huntin' On Halloween
On our journey back
we had a mummy on the rack
to make-up for the deer that got away
Between the locusts and the bats
and the worms and the rats
it was hard to tell the phantoms from the road
You can imagine our surprise
when right and left before our eyes
stood that same mighty two-headed buck
Well, we ran that monster down
till all four antlers hit the ground
then got out and shot it twice for luck
Ah, Red Rum
Red Rum
I'm glad I got a gun

( Unofficial ) Moms NOT 4 drunks Theme song
Don't want no trouble, don't even own a gun
I'm just livin' to have fun
I read it in the paper, seen it on TV
but me and them M.A.D.D. mothers,
well, we just disagree
I ain't no juvenile, ain't no punk
but, hell, I drive better
when I'm drunk
Chorus :
And it's one for the money
two for the show
three to get ready
and four to kill...
Bruised ribs, broken arm, and somethin' ' bout a patch,
my poor ol' drinkin' buddy,
I didn't get a scratch
It was all kind o' hazy, crashin' through the wall;
the first thing I remember, is hearin' last call
The judge said some meetin's
oughta make ya think;
somethin' ' bout a higher power
helpin' me to drink
Chorus
Got my license back for the third time, but it was just my luck -
It was the county sheriff's daughter
behind the wheel of that small truck
After sev'ral beatin's, thought they were gonna leave me for dead
They dragged me down to the city morgue,
figured they were gonna scare me some instead
I've never been as sober. I've never felt so sad,
starin' at that sheriff's daughter
lyin' on that marble slab
It's been over fifteen years now...haven't touched a drop
And all it took was the face of one young girl
to fin'ly make me stop
Chorus...
Whatcha gonna do ?
Whatcha gonna do when the well run dry,
when the well run dry,
when the well run dry ?
Whatcha gonna do when the well run dry,
when the well run dry ?
Whatcha gonna do when the rent check due,
when the rent check due,
when the rent check due ?
Whatcha gonna do when the rent check due,
when the rent check due ?
1st Chorus :
I can't help it ' bout the shape I'm in
Ev'rybody tell me that cha play ta win, hmm

the Septic song
When I was just head high to an asshole
I used to catch everybody's shit
Well, now I'm an arm's length to an asshole
and I just can't seem to get rid of it
Yeah, when I was just head high to an asshole
I learned awful fast how to keep my mouth shut
Oh, when I was justa head high to an asshole
I tried to keep myself out of that rut
Chorus :
And when everyone was passin' the news
Lordy knows that this old boy had the butt of the blues
You kinda grow up thinkin' just like a fool
Learnin' all your life from a brown eye's view
Oh, when I was just head high to an asshole
I used to hate to stand in line
Oh, yes, when I was a head high to an asshole
I'd always be that brown-nosed kid behind
But then one fine day while waitin' for a movie downtown
It was such a fine feelin' as I had never found
Yeah, I use to be a head high to an asshole
till some pretty little lady accidentally turned around
Well, now I'm just an asshole
And my woman keeps tellin' me, " Come on back to bed "
Yeah, some folks still call me a flush-lovin' asshole
'cause I just can't seem to stay
I just can't keep away
I just can't seem to stay
out o' the head
Chorus
Nada ( por tu )
Walkin' down the street
Lookin' for some " sweets "
It's gonna be a good day
Lookin' straight ahead
See those fine curves
It's gonna be a good day
Said, " Hey there, honey,
what cho got for me ? "
Without missin' a beat
she left this little treat :
She said, " Nada... y nada por tu..."
Head hung low
Where the hell to go ?
She said, " Nada... y nada por tu..."
That's what she said
She said, " Nada... y nada por tu..."
? Que' pasa, mujer ? Belleza...
She said, " Nada... y nada por tu..."

It all comes ' round
Well, if there's a harder road now,
distance holds the softness
but the end would seem just costless
had your dreams no cross to bear
And, if there's a darkened road now,
sunrise holds the brightness
but the picture would seem sightless
had your dreams been always fair
What is lost is sometimes found
What is out and in of bounds
can be trying
dissatisfying
It all comes ' round
If there's a longer road now,
ending holds the shortness
but ships at times seem " portless "
Have your dreams no harbor's door ?
And, if there's a windin' road now,
starlight holds the straightness
but paths, at times, seem fateless
Have your dreams been drawn so poor ?
What is false is sometimes true
What is them and then is you
can be surprising
so comprimising
It all comes ' round...
Break :
Sometimes life just seems so plus and minus
such low and highness
so slide with ev'ry rule
Sometimes life just seems so mystifyin'
sometimes inspirin'
so don't you play the fool
So, if there's a harder, darkened, longer, windin' road, now
distant sunrise, ending starlight shows
It all comes ' round...
Play The Whole Night Away
Maybe I'm growin' wiser
or maybe I'm just blue
but I'm thinkin' ' bout back
when I was just twenty-two
I know I'm still a young man, " Ha "
but someday I'll be old
be on my front porch rockin'
but it won't be rock 'n' roll, ah, no
1st Chorus :
So, come on
Let's go
We're ready to rock 'n' roll
We're gonna
Play the whole night away...
Well, livin' , it ain't as easy
and sometimes ain't as fun
as hoppin' bars in fancy cars
when I was just twenty-one
Well, now those days are over
but my blood, it don't run cold
so I'm in my new car rememb'rin'
you're never too old to rock 'n' roll, ah, no
2nd Chorus :
So, come on
Let's go
Ev'rybody rock 'n' roll
We're gonna
Play the whole night away...
Wha' cho say, baby...
Play the whole night away...

The Other Side Of The Sea
Said, I can feel it in my bones,
oh, where I'm bound to be;
afar across the water,
across the deep blue sea
I can hear her distant call
beckoning me to leave
I can almost see her misty face,
it's just too much to believe
Chorus :
that she's waiting
just for me
Anticipating
to set me free
There ain't no debating
'cause I'm bound to be
over and over again
The Other Side Of The Sea
Said, I can feel it in my heart,

Said, I can feel it in my soul
Oh, where we're bound to be;

Watch the seagulls fly
Feel the spray from the ocean
It'll never go dry -
Talkin' ' bout my

You're My Fav'rite Place To Be
I try to be careful not to hold on too tight
And I'm hopeful that I'll treat you right
Giving you some room to move
Giving you some space to breath
And I believe that, near or far,
where I'm at is where you are
'cause You're My Fav'rite Place To Be
an' you're the only one for me
Anything your heart desires
Everything your love inspires

You're the only one for me
Yes, You're all that my eyes can see

She says, " I know that it's true "
Chorus :
TWO HEARTS
livin' as one
One heart
shinin' like sun
Ev'ry day,

Ev'ry night,
TWO HEARTS

Running in circles ;
never looking inside
Till someone worth loving
makes you open your eyes
He says, " Do you love me ? "
She says, " I do. I do...
There's no one above you "
He says, " I know that it's true "

GIVE WHATCHA GET
Chorus :
Give whatcha get
and
get whatcha give
It's an easy solution
and
a simple way to live
The life you choose to lead
is the life you follow
The dreams you dream today
can be the dreams you live
tomorrow
There's no more time to borrow
You lay in the bed you make
( Bed you make )
Take what you give
and give what you take
Make no mistake
Chorus
You get whatcha give
Do unto others
as you do unto yourself
Your sisters and brothers,
said, are your mental wealth
Do it for your health
You sow only what you reap
( What you reap )
Keep what you give
and give what you keep
if love is your belief
Chorus
You get whatcha give...
get whatcha give...
Love and Care
As the child lies in bed,
asleep from all the day,
there's a kiss upon his head;
More than words can say
And in the morning, when awake,
the sun shines on the floor
Another day to take
She thinks he's giving so much more
But that's the only way
her thought of love conceives
And that's the only way
her heart of love believes
Chorus :
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Love and Care
Oh, oh, oh,
The soul we share
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Love and Care
Ah, ah, ah,
All time is here
As she lies upon her bed,
after the years have passed away,
the mem'ries for her head
are the life of her today
And in the weekend afternoons,
when her time had seemed so slow,
has the day gone by so soon,
just after flowers and " hello " ?
But that's the only way
a mind of love retrieves
And that's the only way
a heart of love believes
Chorus
Break :
Time
to be lost in a feeling
Time
for emotional healing
Time,
all the senses are reeling ;
back to the place
where we're given our space
Through the wide
and through the narrow
Past the nest
and catch the sparrow
All is only for to borrow
So, keep your love of today
on tomorrow
'cause that's the only way
your thought of love can see
And that's the only way
your heart of love believes
Chorus...
Just Because ( of who you are )
When I saw you,
when I saw you,
I knew
When I heard your voice
go through my soul
And then you moved
so smooth
I knew, there and then,
I'd found someone true
Chorus :
Just Because of who you are
Just Because of who you really are...
So, I tried my best
to show you my heart
and confess with the rest
But I blew my cool -
a stumblin' fool
painted shades of blue
Chorus
Break :
I know that you are the greatest height
that I ever tried to climb
I feel like I'm losin' my mind,
to miss out on one so devine
Chorus...
SALON SONG
You take a little off the top

I'll worry about " the bottom "

Oh, those little curls of protein
wrapped around your hand
Little tubes of Brylcreem,

Oh, won't cha slide that comb
right through me
a-Lean in just a little more
Oh, yeah
Show me your stylish cruelty :
lay the mirror on the floor
Oh, yeah
You take a little off the top
and don't cha leave them sides alone
Ah, honey, please don't stop
and, by the way,
" Can I take you home ? "

THE LEPRECHAUN SONG
" Hide the wee ones - it's a bit of a bawdy tale, it tis "
'cause I caught meself a Leprechaun ;
caught 'im by the balls
And don't think ' twas an easy task
a-cause there so damn small...
" The Leprechaun, that is...ah, who am I foolin' ?
His wee, green nuggets : tiny as a fairy's eye, they were "
I told 'im that I'd heard the tales,
that now I'd have 'is gold
He tried to piss right down me leg
and here's what I was told :
" Did you ever stop to think
that I would have the kitchen sink, in clovers,
if I had a pot of gold ?
Would I be a-wanderin' through the woods
a-pickin' Shamrocks for me goods,
Saints preserve us,
if I had a pot of gold ?
Why, I'd be lyin' on the beach
with a Lassie within reach,
ya daft twit,
if I had a pot-full,
if I had a pan-full,
if I had a handful -
if I had a pot of gold "
So, whilst he talked, unknownst to me,
I'd lost me tiny grip
He danced and cheered, cursed and spat,
and then gave me the slip
But a- ' fore he went upon 'is way,
he turned and winked 'is eye;
Pulled down his pants for " an Irish Moon ",
then said this to make me cry :
" Did you ever stop to wonder :
Might be magic that you're under
'cause it's for sure I have a pot of gold
I've tricked the worst and tricked the best
To save me gold, I'll never rest
'cause, it's for certain, I have a pot of gold
Ah, there'd be ' Wigs on the Green '
if me gold is ever seen
'cause it's for sure I have a pot-full,
ah, I've got a lot-full,
ah, let's face it,
I'm a rich wee bugger -
'cause it's for sure I have a pot of gold "
So, if someday you hap upon
a Wily Leprechaun,
you'd be cursed to try your luck
with that Irish little ffffff...man
So, don't struggle with your thoughts of gold
and heed these words from me :
Save yourself the tussle -
Stick to the Lottery
" Ah, as sure as Shamrocks and Shillelaghs,
Truer words were never spoken
Uh, hey, 'ey, 'ey, what are you lads doin' over there ?
'ey, that Blarney Stone's for kissin',
not that sort o' thing
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph ! …
Crazy Irishmen "
GIVE ME TIME

Give Me Time
to take the best of things
Give Me Time
to leave the worst behind
Don't wanna be you
Don't wanna be me
Every little thing

If it's all that
you're gonna see
It could be less
It could be more
All I know is
that it looked the same
with my
fat head through the door
Chorus
It could be you
It could be me
Don't wanna be right
Don't wanna be wrong

THERE'S A NEW WORLD WAITING
Tell me of your Love
and I'll tell you if it's True
Because I know a man
who's lonely days are through
He told me of her eyes ;
brown sweetness in their hue
He told me how her skin
could make a newborn baby blue
Chorus :
Once in a lifetime,
when the timing is right,
THERE'S A NEW WORLD WAITING
for him and her tonight
Tell me of your Truth
and I'll tell you if it's Love
Because I know a girl
who's prayers were answered from above
She told me of his heart;
soft, red ribbons in her mind
She told me how his soul
could cause her whole wide world to shine

More Love To Give
There's been days -
emotions slipping away
There's been times
mem'ries were blank to my mind
Ev'rything seems to be what it is not
and I'm always giving it less than I've got
So, I'll reach deep inside me and let it all out
Yes, I'll show the world what I'm really about
Chorus :
'cause I've got
More Love To Give
Yes, I've got
More Love To Give
Yes, I've got
More Love To Give
Yes, I have more love
I have more love
In you, I see
what I've been hiding in me
Games you play -
meanings won't match what cha say
Ev'rything seems to be what it is not
and you're always giving it less than you've got
So, reach deep inside you and let it all out
Yes, you'll tell the world what you're really about
Chorus ( " You've " )
Break :
Ooh, ah, ooh, ah, ooh...
Well, I've found myself
I am real
I've found the true soul I had lost
I can express... how I feel, ooh
Eye to eye -
expressionless people go by
Face to face -
maintain the speed of the race
Ev'rything seems to be what it is not
and we're always giving it less than we've got
So, we'll reach deep inside us and let it all out
We'll prove to the world what we're really about

She said, " No, no, I didn't go "

When I'm weak

I'm so glad
you came along
I could say " tomorrow,
I'm sure to change my ways "
I could say " today, I feel,

And your the reason
for this song
Y-O-U
Not even a look
Not even a glance
Nothin' even close to just
one first chance
Dinner alone
Breakfast for two
With one thing missin'
Solo and so low
I can only look up
Perhaps I've been too far down
Perhaps a wrong shade of blue
Still one thing missin'
Don't wanna say " I'm lonely "
Don't wanna believe it's true
Still one thing missin'
Why ?
Oh !...
Gratitude
Thanks for the kindness that you've shown to me,
your grace and your beauty, your brave empathy
Thanks for the mem'ries ; the love and good cheer
Thanks for the days and the months and the years
Chorus :
Ooh, ooh, ooh, nothing to do, but thank you
Even the times when I did not deserve,
when I shouted and fussed till I hit the last nerve
Even the moments you were put to the test,
you've always proved that you're one of the best
friends I could hope for or wish or to want
to help me and guide me with such elegance
Chorus...
You've always been there, been there for me
I thought I might tell you, so then you can see
there's no other treasure I've found or could give
to ever repay you, as long as I live
Chorus...
Thank you

Burper's Hymn
It was
very late one night
quiet as a kangaroo
searching for a pouch or two
But from the room upstairs
where tenni' shoes and puppy dog hairs
fill the floor with gum and more
there came a funny sound
and Mom and Daddy turned around
found soda pop bottles
on the ground
And then they looked upstairs
and said,
" Hey, you kids,
stop that burping up there
What will the neighbors say,
with you and your sister burping away ?
Hey, you kids upstairs
you better stop that burping up there "
Zap Ur Yap Intro
" One Hundred Times Upon A Time
the Dragon walked by the Castle window of The Queen and King's Royal Court ( The Royal Court ) - that is where The King and Queen's Thrones sit. The Dragon would scare The King so very badly, The King would always drop his Crown whilst he cleaned it ; though The Queen was rather Brave about the entire affair.
( The Dragon lived in a very old abandoned Castle that had ENORMOUS Black Wooden Gates )
One day, The King summoned all of His Royal Knights to chase the Dragon away, but none of the Knights could get inside the
Dragon's Castle to do just such, Until, One day,
there came the Shiny Purple Knight ( ! )
The Purple Knight was a Good and Close Friend of
The King's Wizard and the Wizard had taught the Shiny Purple Knight about The Magic Clap and Zapping the Yap...
Do you know what a Yap is ? A Yap is, in fact, your mouth.
And the Only Way to Zap your Yap is to
Smile and think of Happy and Fun thoughts ;
yet it must be a HUMUNGOUS Smile and Extra Happy and Fun thoughts -
This is the Only Way a Magic Clap will work and
the Only Way to Start This Song … "

So, uh, uh, uh, oh...
before The Purple Knight began
the Wizard he did see
and the wise, wise Wizard told him this
- Now listen carefully -
" When you want to get things done,
it's Magic you can be
Just Clap Your Hands Together
after counting along with me
But here's the Magic secret
I'm telling only you
To make your Magic clap work right
and make your Wish come True
Well,... "
Chorus :
You must Smile all the while
like a Happy Crocodile
Clap and Smile
Smile and clap
It's Magical to
Zap Ur Yap
Zap Ur Yap
Zap Ur Yap
it's Magical to
Zap Ur Yap
Looden doodaloo...
The Purple Knight at the Dragon's gate
How will he get inside ?
" I know "
We can use our Magic clap
to open those gates wide
So, Put Your Hands Together
after counting along with me
Get ready for your Magic clap
and don't forget to
Zap Ur Yap
" Ready ? One, two, three [ CLAP ! ]
Zap Ur Yap !
It worked ! "
The gates are open
The Purple Knight is in
The Dragon stood before him
with a Silly Grin
And just as the Knight was gonna
scare him away
with the Magic clap
we learned today
the Dragon raised his scary head
and said,
" Hello, isn't it a Beautiful Day ? "
" Can you believe that ?
The Dragon said that
The Dragon said,
' Hello, isn't it a Beautiful Day ? ' "
The Purple Knight couldn't believe his ears
He Laughed so hard
he sprouted tears
After years of fears
The King and Queen were told
" The Dragon has a Heart of Gold "
And when the Dragon met The King
he raised his ears
and started to Sing
And when the Dragon met The Queen
he wagged his tail
and started to Sing
" Well, ya know what ?
I think the Dragon was friend's with The King's Wizard
'cause the Dragon started Singin' : "
Chorus
So, now,
If you'd like this song to end
here's what you must do :
You can use your Magic clap
to see if it's All True
So, Put Your Hands Together
after counting along with me
Get ready for your Magic clap
and don't forget to
Zap Ur Yap
" Ready ? One, two, three [ CLAP ! ]
Zap Ur Yap ! "
" Uh - Oh... "

Prelude
I have a leaky butt
I just can't seem to keep it shut
I ask everyone, but no none knows
how to keep my buttocks closed
Maybe I could just hold it in
and try my best not to break wind
I dream at night
and pray all day
that constipation
comes my way
My loose caboose has left the tracks
and stains are crawlin' up my back
You may think that this is gross
But here's the thing that I hate the most :
I found a cure, although it hurts,
but duct tape
really
works
BIG Blue Balloon Man
There once was an old man lyin' in his bed
These are the very last words he said :
He said, " I been a good man for all o' my life
I been good at day, I been good at night... "
So, with his next to last breath, he said,
" I think I should do sumethin' for this world,
but sumethin' really, really good... "
So, he took a deep, deep breath from the center of his soul
and, just before he let it let go,
he grabbed a giant blue balloon
and, with a mighty, mighty puff,
he blew the whole thing up
And it was just enough
I saw big red shoes
and checkered, green pants
Before the rest popped up,
they started to dance -
" The pants ! "
I saw purple suspenders,
a black and white striped shirt
When the arms popped out,
I said, " Hey, doesn't that hurt ? "
I saw a silly, silly grin
and I couldn't believe
There was a
Big Blue Balloon Man
right in front o' me !
Big Blue Balloon Man
flips and flops
There's only one word that'll make 'im stop
Big Blue Balloon Man
dances bebop
There's only one word that'll make 'im stop
Big Blue Balloon Man
hippity-hops
There's only one word that'll make 'im stop
Big Blue Balloon Man
bounces when he drops
There's only one word that'll make 'im stop
Big Blue Balloon Man
clippity-clops
There's only one word that'll make 'im stop
Big Blue Balloon Man
in The Big Top
There's only one word that'll make 'im stop
Big Blue Balloon Man
Big Blue Balloon Man
Big Blue Balloon Man
in The Big Top
There's only one word that'll make 'im stop...
The Cocoa song
I can't stop with the choc-o-late
C-O-C-O-A
It's so sad, I've gained a lot
C-O-C-O-A
With an inch, inch here
and a pinch, pinch there
Here an inch
There a pinch
Ev'rywhere an inch pinch
I don't care
I'll buy bigger underwear

Digit and Fidgets for Spider Webs
I tried to play my guitar today
when a big, funny spider
came along my way
With a happy grin
he began to spin...
a web
around
four of the five fingers
of my left hand
He said, " I'm a-gonna learn you to count to four
and nothin' less and a-nothin' more "
And then he made my fingers crawl
like a creeping spider down the hall :
" One, two, three, four
and nothin' less and a-nothin' more "
Then, just when I thought that I could play,
he made me go the other way :
" Four, three, two, one
We're right back where we a-done begun "
Now this went on for half the day,
and it was fun,
but I wanted to play
Then, all at once,
I could see,
it was left there
right in front of me -
My thumb
was
free !!!
Between the icky and the sticky I came up with a plan :
My thumb was free, so I supposed,
I'd stick my thumb
right up my nose ( ! )
But then the funny spider made me play
and my nose and thumb
went on their way :
" One, two, three, four
and nothin' less and a-nothin' more "
Then, just when I thought that I could play,
the funny, happy spider made me go the other way :
" Four, three, two, one
We're right back where we a-done begun "
I knew now that this had to end,
even though I'd made a spider friend
My fingers couldn't take much more
and my thumb and nose were awful sore
Well, I fin'ly made the spider say goodbye ;
I made him chase my friend - the fly ( ! )
" My hand is free ! "
And, just to show that I'm not sore,
I'll make my fingers crawl once more :
" One, two, three, four
and nothin' less and a-nothin' more "
No Nose Candy, Please
Don't eat your boogers
Boogers just ain't food
Don't eat your boogers
Some people think it's just plain rude
No, don't eat your boogers
You'll make your parents scream
You've never heard of " Booger Ice Cream "
You won't see that he wore a " Booger Hat "
There's no such thing as a pretty " Booger Ring "
So, don't eat your boogers
Boogers are just plain waste
Don't eat your boogers,
you may not like the taste
No, don't eat your boogers
Stick to food instead
Don't eat your boogers
Keep your fingers out of your head
Be Brave or Scream On Halloween
When the bedbugs bite
it's a scary night
Then the ghosts come out
You can hear them float and shout
I'm a ghost and I'm feelin' fine and dandy
I came here to find your toys and candy
so that we can play
but your Mommy and Daddy
scared me away
When the bedbugs bite
it's a scary night
Then the witches all come out
You can hear them fly about
She's a witch and she's feelin' fine and dandy
She came here to find your toys and candy
so that she can play
but your Mommy and Daddy
scared that witch away
When the treats are tricks
and the candles have no wicks
Then the lightning strikes
and Mommy and Daddy
hold you tight
Try not to be a Scaredy-Cat bumpkin
hiding from the shadows in a pumpkin
Phantom Jack-o-lantern
Phantom Jack-o-lantern
Phantom Jack-o-lantern
Jack-o-lantern Phantom
But you'll be fine and dandy
counting all your candy
If the monsters want to play
but you don't want
them to stay
you can always choose
to scare them all away
When the bedbugs bite
it's a scary night
but now you know :
If the monsters want to play
but you don't want
them to stay
you can always choose
to scare them all away
Be Brave or Scream On Halloween ...
The Monkey Bread song
There's Monkey Bread in my head
I really should go to bed
I think that I'll stay up instead
with Monkey Bread in my head
I put a banana in my ear
so that I might somehow hear
the squishy squashy Monkey Bread
in my head
So, now I'm swingin' from the vines
with Monkey Bread on my mind
It seems to be there all the time
that Monkey Bread in my head
It's far better than
a coconut up my... nose
Yes, I've got Monkey Bread in my head
I really should go to bed
I think that I'll stay up instead
with Monkey Bread
in my head...
Break
" Hey ! Someone took my Monkey Bread ! Oh, no ! "
There's no more Monkey Bread in my head
I think I'll just go to bed
and dream a squishy squashy dream
of Monkey Bread...
in my head...

His Yesteryears are slippin' away
He's just Hangin' On to another day
Hmmm, just Hangin' On
Same Ol' Thread as Yesterday
Made up his Mind
He's still Here to Stay
Don't care ' bout Wisdom or bein' Too Rude
Just Livin' for his Stories and Livin' for Food
Nuthin' comes easy, ' cept gettin' mo' Gray
He just Hangin' On to another day
It don't seem right,

that Anyone should Last - So - Long
Whatever you do, Whatever you say :
We're All just Hangin' On to another day . . .

Love Stank or Stanky Love ?
The single, lonely pubic hair
between my teeth
reminds me of you
I keep it there
to show I care
and then it grew
I use your underwear
to slick down my hair
to remind me of you
I can still feel your scent ;
it won't relent -
Not quite " Heaven Sent " -
but it sticks like glue
You're NO " Hygienic Honey " -
Yes, my " Rotting Runny Bunny "
Even when you may smell " funny " -
I still Love You Blue
Oh, you might be slightly Oozy,
even in a large Jacuzzi ( ! )
I feel the bubbles sting my eyes
with each " Diseased Surprise "
But in the pain, there surely lies
a Love So True
So, if you're somewhat willin' ,
a shot of Penicillin
is the least that I can do
We'll frolic through the Forest ;
' though, the Creatures may deplore us -
" Olfactory Furry Rivals " -
The chance of Our Survivals
coincide with this mess
and the stains upon your dress
But when all is said and done,
we should call a truce :
Honey... Please...

Whoever thought we'd need to see, to be ourselves,
toilet paper sittin' back along the shelves ?
We got the

Can't hardly stand

Just how much more

Now, when The Cure comes

I hope they say :
We had the
Coronavirus Blues
We paid our

Stayed in at night
Tried not to fight
Looked for the Light
Knew wrong from Right
and kept The Future In Sight ...
!!!!!!! WITH ALL OUR MIGHT !!!!!!!
Well, Screw those
Coronavirus Blues
I'm gonna run in the Sun ...
of course, I'll stay clear of ev'ryone
I'm gonna make my own FUN -
Wash my hands with a, a Honey Bun
You may not see me smile
' cause I'll be wearin' a mask ( ! )
But I won't worry as much
' cause I'll have my " Trusty Flask " : )
So you can take your

and Flush it Down

Just Hope You'll ALL

THE SPECIAL SNOW HOUSE -
A Snowflakie Fable
Every Winter Morning in their Special House,
from 3 to 9 years old,
two brothers and two sisters,
huddled in the cold
The tree was bare, NO presents there,
empty stockings hanging in the air. . .
but they didn’t care,
no they didn’t care
Chorus 1 :
‘cause ev’ry Christmas Eve,
for as long as they believed,
the strangest thing would happen
- even with the fire glowing -
inside their house on Christmas Eve,
it was always snowing ( !! )
Chorus 2 :
Snowing in their house on Christmas Eve
for as long as they chose to believe
Snowin’ inside the house . . .
On Christmas Eve
They’d build a snowman in the living room
with buttons and a scarf and a snowman’s broom
Make snow angels on the kitchen floor and
when it snowed inside just a little bit more,
they’d have snowball fights from their bedroom doors
and ride a slide made of ice down the dining room table
You might think it’s a Snowflakie Fable : )
but . . . it . . . was . . . always . . .
Chorus 2
An’ here’s another Winter Magic thing
- nothing like Summer or Fall or Spring -
After every Christmas Eve,
for as long as they chose to believe,
even though the tree was bare,
NO presents there,
with empty stockings hanging in the air
when they’d all wake up on Christmas Day,
before the snow inside could melt away,
there’d be presents ev’rywhere :
under the tree, in the stockings,
even on the stairs -
It was a Merry Christmas Everywhere !!!
Chorus 1 & 2
Elf : “ Happy Christmas everyone ! “
Elf too : “ No ! Don’t be an Icicle head ! It’s Merry Christmas ! “
Elf : “ But you can be Happy and Merry on Christmas “
Large Man in Red Suit : “ That’s right ! Ho ! Ho ! Ho !
HAPPY MERRY CHRISTMAS ! “

( Chatter - " Cowboys and Cowgirls don't have SNAFUs, they have Snaffle-FUs . . . That's a Snaffle Baffle or a Baffle Snaffle, I don't know. Here, Here's some sound wisdom : ya know, A Pair o' Aces Ain't Hard Ta Hold, But A Pair o' Deuces Can Make Ya Cold . . . too two cold . . . That's some straight-shootin' right thar )
I've got spurs that jingle but won't jangle
I've got cows that rustle but won't wrangle
There's a prairie dog in my head
but I think that it is dead
and, last night, the campfire burnt my butt
( Chatter - " Hah-yee ! I mean, Yeehah ! " )
They say there haren't enough desserts in the desert
but I deserted hope and fear
I've got a tumbleweed in my pants
that's why I love to dance
an' my horse only wears blue suede shoes
( Chatter - " That sure t'aint my horse ; you can here that one a-comin' . . . ' cause, ' cause them blue suede shoes are-a so soft, you can't hear my horse a-comin' . . . he'll sneak right up on ya " )
My saddle won't talk to me no more
so I don't know why it is sore
I keep cactus in my nose
so my boogers don't git froze
an' I just found out why my special saddle won't talk to me anymore - It's for the same exact reason why barbed wire is my bridle
( Chatter - " I sure 'nough miss my ol' bridle . . . I reckon my sneaky horse does too . . . that barbed wire tends to be a tad bit un-for-givin' [ ! ] " )
I forgot 'bout bustin' sod “ tooth and nail “
But I remember what I left beyond the trail -
A green and purple coyote
but it may 'ave been peyote
and that explains the “ rattler “ on my head
Makes it kinda hard ta go ta bed
( Chatter - " But it, it, it was a baby, a baby rattler . . . I could tell by the little plastic rattle it was a-carryin' with 'im . . . Shucks . . . that's a Chuck-a-ler . . . Tarnation Creation " )
Well . . . the . . . sun . . . set . . . lassoes me and you
Well, now . . . I . . . think I'll be on my way 'cause it's a special day . . .
( Chatter - " I just found out, I won tickets for one o' them thar vacations on a Lux-ur-y Li-ner . . . goin' ta some strange, exotic tropical paradise . . . It's called . . . Wake Island " )
So . . . keep . . . yer . . . powder clean 'n' dry
and only spit in your own eye
and I'll see you when the cot -'n'- tails . . . turn gold
( Chatter - " Meantime . . . can't hardly wait ' til I mosey on over ta . . . Wake Island " )
Break
( Chatter - " Hey . . . Hold up Over Yonder . . . Hoopin' and-a Hoolerin' . . . Can't ya see I'm a Hoorayin' over here . . . Oughta give you a Wallopin' . . . Ya Wanderin', Western, Whimperin', Wild-Eyed, Willow-Whompin', Wildernest beasts " )
Yes, I'll see you when the cot -'n' - tails . . . turn gold

creature CHRISTMAS Town
Where do the animals go
in the wintertime when it gets so cold ?
Why do the birds still sing
when there’s a blanket o’ snow
and you can’t see anything ?
Well, I tripped and fell
an’ got my head stuck in a hole,
then dropped my jaw when I saw
Chorus :
Underground,
where there’s no one else around,
there’s a whole little
creature CHRISTMAS Town
Verse 2 :
I saw squirrels and bunnies
but they looked kinda funny,
dressed as elves, puttin’ presents on shelves
There were mice and bees layin’ tinsel on a tree
an’ bulbs on beetles pickin’ up pine needles
Then a mole skied by
and four possums caught my eye
They were in a toboggan
I thought about that often
Chorus
Break
Then all of a sudden, amongst the twinkling lights,
somethin’ big, white and red came into sight :
Boots and a belt and warm-hearted paws -
It was a big fluffy bear dressed as Santie Claus
Chorus
Repeat beginning Verse and Chorus and Verse 2
You ever hear fish in a barrel sing a Christmas carol
or heard a porcupine practicin’ Auld Lang Syne ?
There’s an old hedgehog servin’ eggnog
Grasshoppers by a lake makin’ fruitcakes
Hey, look at that - an armadillo ice skatin’
It’s a yuletide no hibernation nation
Crawly Holly, Furry Jolly
Chorus ( twice )
There’s a whole little
creature CHRISTMAS Town
Yule Not Stop Christmas
Verse 1 :
From Krampus to Scrooge and The Mean Green Grinch,
Who all thought endin’ the holiday season would be a cinch,
to the cheerless an’ stingy an’ those beyond belief
who’d rather see a plain door than an ornamental wreath
Even Old Man Winter can’t keep the carolers from minglin’
or Jack Frost nose nippin’ keep the jingle bells from jinglin’
No matter how thick or slick the ice may get
jolly Saint Nick is just too quick . . . that’s why
Chorus A :
You can’t stop Christmas,
Christmas Eve or Christmas morn
You can’t stop Christmas noon or night
since the day Noel or you were born,
Oh, oh, oh . . . Ho, ho, ho,
Let it snow
Chorus B :
There’ll always be Christmas Magic
found in the top of Frosty’s hat
and Rudolph will always light the way
to show Santa Claus just where you’re at . . . that’s why
Chorus A / Verse 1 / Chorus A / Chorus B
Chorus C :
If you don’t see snowflakes fallin’
or all your wishes don’t come true,
someplace in this wonderful winter world
there’s a snowflake fallin’ just for you . . .
Chorus A
Break :
When your Christmas list is all amiss
or your stocking looks like an abyss,
you still can’t stop Christmas
When the only thing stirrin’ is a mouse
or there ain’t no gingerbread in your house
you still can’t stop Christmas
No, you can’t stop Christmas
You can’t stop Christmas
You just can’t stop Christmas
It’s an avalanche of cheerful circumstance ‘cause you
Chorus A
. . . since the day Noel or you
and maybe The Whos
or Mr. Magoo
Where’s my other snowshoe ?
Hey - Dig that igloo
Twenty-three skidoo
Until the last flake of snow falls,
Happy Holidays to one and all
You can’t stop Christmas . . .
I hope that one horse sleigh is goin’ my way
I’m dreaming of an all-inclusive Christmas
I heard a North Pole rumor that Mrs. Claus works 364 days a year -
That’s why you cant’ stop Christmas . . . Yule Not Stop Christmas
Dunder and Blixem, look out for Cupid and Vixen
52 and a Day

52 ‘n’ a Day an’ another one along the way
[ Sometime ] it [ don’t ] matter [ whatcha ] think or say, it’s always
52 ‘n’ a Day an’ another one along the way
Verse :
Just like a deck o’ cards, the Jokers are bound to go wild
Could be Aces & Eights or a wink an’ a smile
It’s up and downhill, since you [ was ] just a child
Ev’rything’ll change in a blink or in a while, ‘cause it’s
Main Chorus
Break :
Let the world spin ‘n’ the day ‘n’ night begin
Let the tables turn ‘n’ the lessons lost or learned
Will the spirits still flow, from when [ yer ] here to when you go ?
Play the hand [ yer ] dealt, Come What May, ‘cause it’s . . .
Main Chorus
Don’t really matter what I think or say, they’ll be another year here anyway, ‘cause it’s
Chorus 2 :
52 ‘n’ a day ‘n ‘ another one along the way . . .
Come What May, it’s always
Chorus 2
It’s all the same for you and me, Where we’re all bound to be, Because it’s
Chorus 2
Where we’re all bound to be, The Mystery of Destiny
Chorus 2
Oooooh, Come What May, It’s always
Chorus 2
First it crawls and then it leaps, whether you’re awake or you’re asleep, it’s always
52 ‘n’ a Day ‘n’ another one along the way, it’s always
52 ‘n’ a Day ‘n’ another one along the way
52 ‘n’ a Day ‘n’ another Come What May
Sour Grapes In California
Parody of the iconic song “ Sweet Home Alabama “ by the equally iconic band Lynyrd Skynyrd ( WARNING : All lyrics, melodies, and music is theirs and any affiliated party’s sole property and should NOT be used for any monetary gains without prior legal consent )
“ Turn it down “
Little wheels just stopped turnin’
Ain’t got no home, can’t find my kin
Singin’ songs about the west southwest land
an’ I miss my brain once again ‘n’ I think it’s a sin, yes
Well, I love them ol’ Neil Young Classics “ Southwestern Man “
And Free Bird flies just as high “ Yes It Do “
Bitter people make me nervous
They can take their place right next to my thigh “ Oh, me, oh, my “
Chorus 1 :
Sour Grapes In California -
Bad for brains and bad for minds
Sour Grapes, I tried ta warn ya ;
me, I’ll stick to spiced rum ev’ry time
I liked Jerry Brown as a Gov’nor “ New-som too “
I haven’t yet done all I can do “ Boo hoo hoo “
Now, whoever thought that Nixon could be “ trumped “ ?
Does yer conscience bother you ? Tell me true
Chorus 2 :
Sour Grapes In California -
Bad for brains and bad for minds
Sour Grapes, I tried ta warn ya ;
I’ll take Captain Pepper / Dr. Morgan ev’ry time “ There I go . . . California “
Break :
Aaah, Aaah, Aaah, Sour Grapes, go [ 3 x’s ]
Aaah, Aaah, Aaah, Sour Grapes
Now, too much wine can make ya throw up,
if ya raise more glasses than just a few
There’s been times when I’ve woke up
and felt like my head was split in two “ Now, how ‘bout you ? “
Chorus 3 :
Sour Grapes In California -
Bad for brains and bad for minds
Sour Grapes, I tried ta warn ya “ Lordy “
That’s why I choose spiced rum each ‘n’ ev’ry time
Chorus 4 :
Sour Grapes In California “ Please love our fruits and nuts “ -
Bad for brains and bad for minds “ especially mine ( !! ) “
Sour Grapes, I tried ta warn ya,
Sweet as Alabama wine . . .
“ Ah, I’m sure that tastes just fine “
“ Napa Valley’s got the answer . . . an’ the Sonoma County line “
Flicker of Halloween
Chorus :
The Pumpkin Man has arms of vines,
a stem for a hat and a seedy mind
His legs and body are made o’ vines too
and his candle flickers when he yells “ Boo ! “
In the pumpkin patch, after midnight,
when the wind is low an’ when the fog’s just right,
he closes his mouth ‘n’ squints his eyes
and hides his nose to keep the light inside
Then, in between the creaking of the trees,
after he hears the shaking of your knees,
he’ll slither on the ground ‘ n ‘ sneak up on you,
then you’ll see his candle flicker when he yells “ Boo ! “
Chorus
So . . . if . . . you’re . . .
in a pumpkin patch ‘ n ‘ somethin’ doesn’t feel right,
make sure that it’s not . . . after midnight
‘cause, from the foggy ground, he’ll sneak up on you,
then you’ll see his candle flicker when he yells “ Boo ! “
Oh . . .
Chorus
Yes, his candle flickers when he yells “ Boooo ! “ Ooooh, Eeeee, Ooooooh “ It’s true - I don’t know if he’s mean or sneaky, but I do know, he seems awful creepy, just like . . . “
FOR MOST OF YOU
How to get off The Naughty List
can be a difficult thing
Some Children stay on The Naughty List
until the Spring
and, all that time, no Christmas present,
not a single thing
If You try not to pout or cry
You can be on The Nice List too,
Just listen to Mon
and listen to Dad,
You’ll be glad,
I know it’s true . . . well . . .
For Most of You
I was once on The Naughty List
years ago -
I wouldn’t clean my room or go to bed
when I was told
But when I tried not to pout and cry,
then I was on The Nice List too -
I listened to Mom
and listened to Dad
and You’ll be glad
if You know that’s true . . . well . . .
For Most of You
Who knows if you’ve been naughty or nice ?
Most of You ( :
Wherever That Comes From
Those who only know . . . games and names
are those who only see . . . cold and old
Yet, there’s still fire in my veins
There still power in my soul
an’ Wherever That Comes From
Still Feels Young
Those who only know . . . black and white
are those who only see . . . shades of gray
Blinded by their lack of sight
Wanderin’ minds that never learned the way
There’s wisdom to be found
even for those who may be lost
Nowhere to run from one sun
Life and Death’s the only cost
But for now,
There’s still fire in my soul
There’s still power in my veins
an’ Wherever That Comes From
Still Feels Young
Still Feels Young
Still Feels
Snow on the roof,
but room for flames in my heart
The years haven’t torn my soul
completely apart
It Still Feels Young
It Still Feels Young
Wherever That Comes From
Still Feels Young . . .
Wherever That Comes From

There was also a witch flying about, wearin' a cowboy hat an' cowboy boots and she had a saddle on her broom while she sat twirling a rope over her head . . .
