LYRICS
Gonna give it a whirl
In good ‘ole East Earl
[chorus]
What’s “birthday” mean to you
Going to Shady Maple, too
For an all you can eat
Birthday treat
My, oh, my
Pie in the sky
You can have your cake
And, eat it, too
Sampling apple dumpling
Can the belly take
More than two
Are you telling me
All you an eat for free?
[chorus]
Travelin’ miles
For service n’ smiles
Another run around the sun
When it’s all said and done
Can’t wait ’til next year
When my birthday draws near
Heading back to East Earl
For another whirl
[chorus]
Please come again!

LYRICS
Grab your hoe
Come on let’s go
What we reap is what we sow
Probably should water good
Adding to the neighborhood
[chorus]
Generation germination
Pant my seed
Grows like a weed
Hey, maybe our baby
Falls close to the tree..
Guess we’ll see
Probably
Sprout nine months out
Isn’t that what life’s about
[chorus]
Sometime soon… around noon
Shady Maple’s fork and spoon
Pops, son n’ me… family three
Generations dinning happily

LYRICS
What the hell?
Clear-as-a-bell
See-saw
Teeter tottering
On the brink
Civil-annihilation
Humanitarian
Starvation
Historian
Degradation
Can I count on you
To lean into
Terrestrial realization
Down to earth birth
Singing earthlings
Sky blue blues
They say
They went away
Turned gray
Crawl out of the fright
Crawl in into the light
Walk out of the night
Talk of the found light

LYRICS
Walking down the street
Head buried deep
Shedding all mystique
Into the crosswalk creep
Really not that far
From being hit by a car
Oblivious
To all of us
Before you end up old
Come out of your own world
Before you end up dead
Listen to what you said
How come you’re in the midst of Vietnam
Lost calm… a pig slaughtered… turned to ham
Singing the Napalm Psalm Song
Head in the sand for how long?
Do you think we might
See the new day’s light?

LYRICS
Welcome to the air
My Dear
Though I know not how you breath
Yet, it’s clear you’re here
So, now I know
My eyes to believe
How the scales fit your hips
On the other hand
How to understand
You’ve hands and lips?
How can we meet
How can we complete compete
With survival
Of all
As the fittest
At best
Our quest
To be we
(Oui, oui)
Will you be my Mayan mermaid
And, I’ll try to be your humane human man?
Maid/made please don’t clean my memory
Of what my third-eye can see

LYRICS
St. Dennis Fair
Been there?
St. Dennis Fair
Are you, too?
A stilt walking musician
Said, “I’ll meet you there.”
Where a larger than life
Ferris wheel
Became real
Talk about zeal
To the beat
IN the summer heat
Hot girls hot
In their tube-tops
Trying not
To run from cops
If it starts to rain
Will we remain
In your stride
On the ride
Going roundabout
Guys shout
Gals scream
Living the dream

LYRICS
Though people may scoff
Truth they can’t con
Wax on
Wax off
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues
Gonna find that buzz
Make it was
Gonna grind that hum
’till pure when done
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues
Come on! Fix the mix
Give balance a chance
A lil’ more keys
If you please
We’ll let the bass
Melt your face
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

There’s a storm brewing
What are you doing?
Look out your window
Did you know…
There’s a storm coming
Storm coming
Brewing
Out your window
Don’t you even know

Storm!
Look out your window
Don’t you know
There’s a storm coming

On you it’s dumping
There’s a storm brewing
