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!

Wow! The best birthday present…
having all you friends present in the present…

On a lifelong adventure

What a ball
Looking at you all
On my wall

My birthday wish

Living bliss
And that your dreams come true

LYRICS
If you go out of the house today
You better not go alone
If you go out of the house today
You’re better off staying at home

The last minute shoppers will run all over you
They’ll walk all over you, too
Then, instead of your Christmas being white… it’ll be blue
Last minute shoppers
Make us into circle hoppers
Got to jump through hoops
They shop, shop, shop until they drop
The last minute shoppers run all over
What are you going to do?

F# / Em / E / F

Now, that
Took me by surprise
How about you?
Wow! That
Took me by surprise
Impromptu

I get
A new pair of shoes
Probably
The ones you lose
But, they
Sure help
This dancing muse

All those
Lights are flashing
A K-9 unit, too?
That blows
The crowd dashing
To get out of view

The truck
Pulling out
The truck
Gets stuck
In the mud
The jerk offs
Pulling their pud
Wanna be called
Office-sir

While life
Goes by
In a blur

ABOUT THIS SONG
It was my birthday. Because of prior obligations, I did not think I would be free. At the last minute, the situation changed. So, we had a surprise party. As it was Halloween, we took are party on the road and ended up at another costume party.

It was raining hard. Cars got stuck in the mud. A friend of mine was dressed up like an Asian Santa Clause. The mud was so deep she took off her shoes and handed them to me. While I was walking around holding them, a caravan of police vehicles arrived. The crowd scattered.

The next day on FaceBook I wrote:
Now THAT was a surprise party… not sure who was surprised more… me or you?

And, the friend wrote:
Where the heck did you go last night!? haha i was hiding in the car from the cops for an hour and then you were gone :o( buuuut it was fun glad you came out and hope you had an awesome birthday.. ps do you have asian santas shoes? lol

To which I replied:
Ha… I thought the shoes were my birthday present from Santa? By the way, you inspired a new song.
