LYRICS
Oh won’t you please
Send in the cavalry
Peace dove release
White hat civility
(Have we) Lost our grasp on reality
Really?
Yippie yi yay
Yippie i owe
Underway
Line to tow

How about a knight
In shinning armor
Shield us from fright
The mob rule clamor
(chorus)

What we need is a cowboy
To save our scalps from savages
From the modern man city-boy
And the resources he ravages
(chorus)

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
A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Eyes may be blue
And blue skies, too
But it’s never blue inside of you
Listening to the birds sing
While wedding bells ring
Loving all life has to bring

A good thing (x3)
’bout the country summertime blues
Cool pool’s blue hue
Under skies of blue
But it’s never blue inside of you
Watching birds on wing
A the bees join in
Loving all life has to bring

LYRICS
I heard out West the country girl is the best
Standing head and shoulders above the rest
So kick off your spurs… bet that kitty of yours purrs (prrrrrrr)
Check your gun at the door… for sure good time… and more

Come on, Cowgirl, mosey over and dance to guitar
Get really, really close to really, really going far

Allemande left we’ll have a two-step fest
To do-si-do with you is to be blessed
The courtesy to courtesy… may I be your partner
With you by my side, we’re sure to go further

Come on, Cowgirl, mosey over and dance to guitar
Get really, really close to really, really going far
Dance to guitar… piano’s next to the bar
Get really, really close to really, really going far

LYRICS
Oh what a shame….
What a crying shame!
Now who ya gonna blame?

Oh how so lame
When ya try-ta-be tame
Enough being “same”
Time to pick-up your game
Now know who to blame
Now no “who” to blame

Oh what a shame
Have you gone insane
Train your brain
To step-up its game
Change the name
Come, coming, came
Now I’ll be back again
Now I’ll be back begin

Ohh, I thought I heard her say
She wants Santa to come this way

Ohh, she’s God’s gift to the world
She’s what makes the pearly gates pearled
You’ll be answered if you pray

The Lord formed man as of clay
