Is life fleeting? Does it last?
Strive for loving grasp
Perfect harmony
In all you see

“If I were at the beach….”
Your dreams are within reach!
Don’t let a job
Lifetime rob
Don’t need any pouting
Don’t cry… no, don’t sob
No procrastinating
Outcast of the mob
Enough body serfing
Let’s go body surfing
The overdue Jersey Shore blues
ABOUT THIS SONG

Made in the USA (West Chester, Chester County, Pennsylvania, United States of America.)
While I was sitting on the courthouse wall writing music, a man stopped by (Chris) and asked if I could write a song about him “having a job and wishing he was at the shore, instead.” Since my son and I were also trying to plan a trip to the beach, I combined the ideas.

LYRICS
Wiggle and giggle moving about
I can’t sit still
Lower my voice? You think that’s a shout?
Politically correct ain’t a skill
I’ve got no hypocrite’s will
No fraud to fulfill
Tickle’s not fickle without a doubt
Some call me a living pill
It’s not my choice… the high road route
Not a discipline. No, not a drill

LYRICS
Are you scared of what’s lurking under your bed
Are you frightened of what goes “thump” in the night
Does imagination run (wild) through your head
Giving you some mystical insight
Knowing how to tame anarchy
It’s under control
No, you’re not the same ‘ole monkey
It’s wonder mental
Never scared of what’s lurking in my head
Never frightened of the hammer of the might
No aggravation… frustration of how it’s said
Giving me some magical insight

LYRICS
All the days under the sun
Like father, like son
All the ways our mission won
Like father, like son
A chip off the ‘ole block
Contribution to the genetic clock
A chip off the ‘ole block
Reign’s end drawing near… tick-tock
Chorus
Standing up for freedom
Bringing sum enlightenment to some
Fighting for the good fight
Giving proof through the night
Are you aware? Our flag’s still there
Chorus
Hey diddle diddle the cat and the fiddle
Little Boy Blue and the Man In The Moon
Boy to man then to dust too soon
When you coming home Dad (Son)? “I don’t know when…
You know we’ll get together then.”

LYRICS
Rack ’em. Break ’em.
Let the balls roll
Whack ’em. Crack ’em.
Let the deal dole
No longer behind the eight ball any more
Check out all the angles to explore
Eyes popping from their sockets
Watching balls rolling into pockets
Chorus
There is so little to do with luck
Whether you bet the farm or just a buck
It’s more a matter to see geometry
Whether a straight shooter is what you’ll be
Chorus
Strike with just the right English
Weave yourself into the fabric’s mesh
Some happen to call it The Zen
As it happens to you, you’ll know when

LYRICS
I bet you’ve got a story you thought I’ve never heard
I bet you’ve got a story considered beyond absurd
So, climb aboard and ride the bandwagon with me
So, climb aboard and swing from a star
It’s easy to be beyond bizarre
You say the picture of Earth is hanging crooked
You say the politicians are all f#&%ed
Well, today’s the day we rectify
Today’s the day the try is the dye
Break the mold and cast the I

LYRICS
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof
Might as well transpire
Our feat is on fire
Might as well transpire
Our feet are on fire
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof
The sweat is dripping from my brow
Now, it pours from every pore
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof
The “Hard Sun” is pounding down
… some more and some more
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof
It’s not as though we’re aloof
Or your reality is just a spoof
We’re dancing, dancing…
We’re dancing off the roof

LYRICS
Why would I sit… sit here and wait
Just to hesitate then gulp on your bait?
If you think being caught is what you’ve got
We’re here to tell you that it’s not
Off the hook. Close the book.
The End. A chance to live again
Something smells fishy. You know there’s something fishy
You know there’s something fishy going on (again)
Now that I’m free… I’ve been set free
I can tell you clearly what I can see
The hierarchy versus anarchy
Creates hypocrisy in the depths of our sea

Chorus
Today it rained then it poured
Today it reigned then it poored
It poured and poored some more
Well, if you’re riding the gravy train
And, you start to realize the gravy’s lumpy
Ya might just drive yourself insane
If ya don’t fertilize for the hungry
Chorus
Well, if you’re living and living without givin’
And, you start to appreciate “this is heaven!”
You might add spirit to your brain
Who knows? Ya might get to live again

LYRICS
There’s something different in the way you think
There’s something different in the way you see
I think with the universe you sync
I see in our time it will be
Chorus
If you want, you can have it
(But) Do you need… ’cause when you bleed it
We concede it… we’re conceited
There’s something different in the way you go
There’s something different in the way you move
The way you go with the flow
In the pocket… in the groove

LYRICS
What do you do with all your day
Do you get to work as if to play
Is being productive seductive
In some sort-of way
When you’re through
Do you love your nighttime, too
What do you do along your way
By any chance do you get to say
“Amazing! Elusive? Inclusive?”
For what do you pray
When dues are due
Will we still be tight, too

LYRICS
Oops! Your cup spilleth over
Hope we start to discover
Not a fighter… more a lover
Red rover, red rover
Send some lovin’ right over
Hoops! Flame and fire jumpin’ through
We’ll do what we gotta do
Stand before a bullet for you
Red rover, red rover
Send some lovin’ right over
