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

Line ’em up 3-in-a-row

Who Do You Think You Are? (Lady? Bug!)

Posted on August 5, 2015August 5, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
Have you ventured too far
“Who do you think you are?”

Lady? Bug! Lady? Bug!
Fly away home
Lady? Bug! Lady? Bug!
Leave them alone

Will you push them too far
Forcing them to fly
Will you push them too far
’till they say bye-bye

Chorus

Now you’ll take your own test
In your empty-nest-ness
Baby’s grown and flown
Now you’re on your own

Chorus

In One Ear

Posted on February 13, 2015February 13, 2015 by admin

LYRICS
It goes in one ear and right out the other
You growing tatters in there?
It goes in one ear and right out the other
Or, are you unaware
Do you even care
If it’s in error

It goes in one ear and right out the other
Hear what’s goin’ on here?
Sister, brother…
Friends and neighbors lend me an ear
It’s very clear
Truth’s drawing near

LYRICS
A simple song
With a beat that’s strong

You know it won’t be long
’till toe tappin’ undertakes
You know it won’t be long
’till body swaying butt shakes

Ya know we all belong
Dancing and singing along

A simple song
With a beat that’s strong
Ya know we all belong
Dancing and singing along

Swallowed Fly

Posted on November 28, 2014December 2, 2014 by admin

LYRICS
Why did the old lady swallow a spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her
Can you conclude why spray sulfur at a high altitude
I don’t know why we swallowed the fly
Perhaps we’ll die

Manage a moment to ponder solar radiation management
I fear what we geo-engineer
May endanger all we hold dear
Better ask why we’re foggin’ up the sky
Perhaps we’ll die

Why did the old lady swallow the horse
Why did mankind maintain this course
Looks like we beat a dead horse to death
Wake up world we can’t take it with
No matter how you dread… in The End… the old lady’s dead

ABOUT THIS SONG
Chords
D7 D6 G
Interlude — C Am G

A song about Man coming up with crazy schemes in an attempt to mitigate global warming.

Schemes to tackle climate change could prove disastrous for billions of people, but might be required for the good of the planet, scientists say.

That is the conclusion of a new set of studies into what’s become known as geo-engineering.

This is the so far unproven science of intervening in the climate to bring down temperatures.

These projects work by, for example, shading the Earth from the Sun or soaking up carbon dioxide.

Ideas include aircraft spraying out sulphur particles at high altitude to mimic the cooling effect of volcanoes or using artificial “trees” to absorb CO2.

Long regarded as the most bizarre of all solutions for global warming, ideas for geo-engineering have come in for more scrutiny in recent years as international efforts to limit carbon emissions have failed. — BBC

Frozen In The Air

LYRICS
I met a coupla sisters
They were young at age
But, boy, I became a listener
Once they took the stage

Chorus
Frozen is nice
It’s in the air tonight
Frozen is nice
Let’s sing it twice

I’ll produce the strings
And you’ll do you things
If you were there…
Frozen… In The Air

LYRICS
The world seems less wild
If you can crack a smile
The beasts turn more mild
Now let’s dance a while

And a 1 and a 2
Here’s a smile for you
Ya know… do the Do-si-do
And Skip to My Lou
Put your left foot in
Put your left foot out
Shout! Win-win
Do the hoochie coochie coo

In A Fog (Ocean City, NJ)

Writing the Guitar for *In A Fog* at Ocean City, NJ

LYRICS
What? Are you living in a fog?
The children’s eyes pop through the mist
Try to start living with your head out of the clouds

Your vision — unclog
No opportunity missed
Its’ time to start screaming THE TRUTH loud out loud

MULTIMEDIA

Writing the Lyrics for *In A Fog* at Ocean City, NJ

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 2
E / A / G

Written and recorded on July 6, 2012 in Ocean City, New Jersey. It was the eighth day of heat wave… even the beach was brutal. Then, at about 5PM, this strange fog started rolling in. As I was writing the music, I could see the eyes of children popping out of the mist. It made me think how great it is that kids don’t live in a fog… with their heads in the clouds.

Preschool Of Rock

Posted on May 14, 2012May 14, 2012 by admin

LYRICS
Strapped into our car seats
We roll down our windows
Wave and give thumbs up

We stretch out of our strollers
Spin our head like an owl
Hoot. Scream. Let out a howl!

We’re the preschool of rock
We love our beats
We’re the preschool of rock
Feel free. Tap your feet.
We’re the preschool of rock
What a musical treat
We’re the preschool of rock
Sweet for our ears to eat
We’re the preschool of rock
Let’s turn up the heat
We’re the preschool of rock
So happy to meet
We’re the preschool of rock
Let’s rock the block
We’re the preschool of rock

ABOUT THIS SONG
Capo 6 (Bb)
Play like an Am9
Walk fingers across the fret to lower notes
Am9 / D

Written and recorded in West Chester, Pennsylvania on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2012.

The song was inspired by my biggest fans when I play on the street — the children.
