LYRICS
Wait! Please don’t go
Please stick around for the show
Wait! I need to know
One more question before you go:
Will you be joining the chorus of the universe?
Sweet harmonies throughout the verse

Ahhhhhhhhhh

Wait! Please don’t go
Oh, I really need to know
Wait! Please don’t go
For you have not a single foe
One more question before you go:
Will you be joining the chorus of the universe?
Sweet harmonies throughout the verse

Ahhhhhhhhhh

LYRICS
Go on! Honk your horn! Honk! Honk!
Go on honk your horn if you support the war machine

Wanna hear something even more obscene?
Sadist relish being mean

Come on honk your horn in support of the American Dream
Come on honk your horn… tax the rich to feed the lean

Wanna hear something even more obscene?
Sadist relish being mean

Come on honk your horn in support! God save the Queen!
Come on honk your horn… from fresh air we must wean

Wanna hear something even more obscene?
Sadist relish being mean

LYRICS
Sorry if I look a mess
It’s time to put on your pretty dress
Hope no need to confess
Love likely turns to distress

You’ll be feeling blue
When you come to

Sorry if I look hard pressed
It’s time to put on your pretty dress
Guess you will take the test
’till your untimely rest

By the seven year itch
She’ll turn into a bitch
Once she’s turned to bitched
You’ll grasp “getting hitched”

LYRICS
Fluttering pink and white petals
Creates a blanket as it settles
Will the mountains and canyons shake
Will children of the sun awake?

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

Now that you’re living in castles
You can’t cope with any hassles
The love child’s gone wild?
Turned to milk-toast… lame and mild

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

ABOUT THE SONG
C Am D G
C Am
C G

This is a song about bands from the 60’s that sang about love and flower children. Then, they got older and richer. They turned into hypocrites living in castles. In the Led Zeppelin song “Going To California”, they sing “The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake… as the children of the sun began to awake.”

LYRICS
If times are rough, getting too tough
Do the shuffle
Take it to the street with your happy feet
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Got a brain fart… don’t know how to start
Do the shuffle
Do it with conviction! Do it with heart!
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Shake it loose. Turn on the juice.
Do the shuffle
It’s not too late to participate
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

As long as we keep hope in our scope
Promise is: we can not miss
Promise is

Cross my heart and hope to die
Start helping the alive thrive
Promise is

Keeping faith in the light
Guiding toward what is right
Through the darkest night
Keeping faith in the light

Through the densest fog
Like a scent to hound dog
Seeking out the light
Peeking in the light
