LYRICS
1,2,3,4
1,2,3,4
1,2,3,4
Counting out in music
Let’s play and play some more
Starting in the morning
The rooster counts its crow
Waking us to counting
Letting us all know
Moving us to getting…
Getting up and go!

5,6,7,8
5,6,7,8
5,6,7,8
We’re counting out some more
Till we dissipate the wait
Then, all afternoon
We’re counting out the time
Bell can’t ring to soon
Dismissal bell chime
Counting the days till June
And playing all summertime

9,10 again
9,10 again
9,10 again
Going to keep on counting
Till you tell me when to end
Later in the evening
Crickets start the counting
Till I should be sleeping
The sunlight starts dimming
But I want to keep on counting
Count on counting on playing

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Going to keep on counting
Till you tell me when to end

1,2,3,4 (Counting.mp3)

You Can Do

Posted on January 3, 2017 by admin

LYRICS
He puts his pants on one leg at a time
Just like you
Pulls up one sock then the other one, too
Just like you
He even had to learn to tie his shoe
Just like you

You can be what you want to be
Just ask me
Practice doing what you want to do
Try and see
What you can do!

You can run the fastest race
You can go into outer space
Jump in the deep-end and learn to swim
Pic a sport and to onto win
Pick up a guitar and start to play
Give it a try… it’s the only way

LYRICS
Line ’em up 3-in-a-row
Tic Tac Toe
Forward… backward
There you go
Tic Tac Toe

Line ’em up 5-in-a-row
That’s bingo! Bingo!
Upward… downward
To or fro
That’s bingo! Bingo!

Set ’em up (28) all in a row

No grudge over a little nudge?
Watch them go

Oh nooooo…
There they go
You know

See Ya In Syria?

Child Casualties Caused by Syria Gas Attack

LYRICS
Aghast! Shame shelling with a gas
Kill all children by chemical

Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria

Seems there’s no regime
Any less mean
World watches in error
The reign of terror

Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria

Bombarding babies like Barbarians
Severity to civility… no humanitarians

Guess I won’t see ya
In Syria
Seriously a tragedy in Syria

A, B, C, D… it’s killing me
Baa, baa black creep… cause to weep
Twinkle, twinkle little star… hopes dashed… helps so far

Blown Away

Songwriting Under the Boardwalk in Atlantic City

LYRICS
There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
And, it’s blowing me
Away… hey, hey!

There’s a wind blowing in
Off of the sea
It’s talking to me
Hear it say….

There’s an escape we can take
You know… we can go below…
We can talk
Under the boardwalk

We’ll ascend… blowing up
Down by the sea
Yup, we’re blowing up
And, away… hey!

Where there’s a wind
Blowin’ in
Up against the skin
Listen to the voice within
Hey, hey! Blown away

Change Is Needed

Posted on August 28, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and be
Though he probably needs it more than me
He decided to give and set us free

Change is needed
Change is needed

Take a look around. You can’t help but see
Starvation and poverty
Take a look around. You can’t help but see
People suffering in misery

Change is needed
Change is needed

Your charity is appreciated
Helping others get liberated
Your charity is appreciated
A helping hand is underrated

Change is needed
Change is needed

Pig let

Posted on August 27, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

LYRICS
Does anybody care that it isn’t fair
Sometimes somebody’s gotta say
It really shouldn’t be this way

The police lying about their crimes
While they are trying to silence mimes
It really shouldn’t be this way

So you want to start over
Do it all over again
Push reset without regret
It really shouldn’t be this way

So, It really shouldn’t be this way
We hoped to never see this day
When people enjoy causing dismay
It really shouldn’t be this way

Emergency Eject

Posted on August 27, 2013September 4, 2013 by admin

Songwriting in the Park, Chester County, Pennsylvania

LYRICS
What did you expect
Emergency eject?

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

Why do they reject
The real suspect?

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

Humankind’s neglect
Of the object

It keeps on coming
You know it keeps on coming

If you fall, just call
If you stumble, tumble or fumble the ball
Anything at all

LYRICS
Sometimes all you need is some good notes
When words fail, music sparks
Keep strumming 88

Let’s go
Into the flow

And, a picture tells a thousand words
Making sense of all the absurds

Sometimes all you need are some good notes
Hark! Music spark… let’s sail
Strumming, humming… it’s not too late

Let’s go
Into the flow

HOW TO PLAY THE GUITAR PART

Keep On Going

Posted on August 26, 2013 by admin

You say you want another tie-dye day
Don’t want the feeling to ever go away

I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

Now I’m working on something to say
Something to move us… change our way

I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

I believe the day is today
That the false opinion can sway

I want to keep on giving
Sense I’m on the path to loving
I want to keep on going
Sense I’m on the path to knowing

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords — A A7
G A

While sitting in a field playing the guitar on the last day of the Stir Fry Music Festival, a fellow sitting next to me said, “I want to keep on going.”
