LYRICS
Everything is free in America
Except for the price of freedom
Freedom lost of freedom won
Militant public servant
Freedom in America? Ha, ha, ha! Na, na, na
Freedom in America led (bred) by the dumb, dumb, dumb
Everything is free in America
Except for the price of freedom
Constitution come undone
Then you’ve the nerve to say “U.S.A.”?
Everything is free in America
Except for the price of freedom
What is the cost of freedom?
[Marty says no more party]

LYRICS
In a package wrapped so neat
Luscious curves yet so petite
Who thought the story would ever be told
Where we walk together growing old
The shine of your smile
Travels over a mile
Laughter that rings
The joy it brings
Walking hand-in-hand in a virtual land
Coming to understand a woman and a man
The day and age when our souls meet
Together as one now we’re complete
Who thought the ending would be so bold
To be so lucky as growing old

LYRICS
Thank Heaven the heat does fade
When I move into the shade
To beat the heat
What do you think about a cold drink
Or the tease of a cool breeze
To beat the heat
Under the shade of threes like these
Fresh oxygen is sure to please
We’ll beat the heat
If only the beach were within reach
Or float down stream… do ya know what I mean
To beat the heat

LYRICS
Telepathic energy
Telepathic synergy
Telepathic connectivity
We’ve got a thing through space
Your scent and taste leave a trace
Imprint memory
Lips, tongue and mammary
Sympathy through telepathy
Partially particle
Yet, we’ll behave like a wave
Participating particle
Goes riding on a wave
Sympathy through telepathy

LYRICS
I took a fancy to Nancy
Wrapped in a Dan-ce of romance
Ten years of famine
Turn into feast
Into the most from the least
All my life where’ve ya been
More than coincidence
More than chance
Here comes that loving feeling, again
Become aware when love is in the air
Once I begin to take it in
Sorry if I stare whenever you are there
It’s just now in miracles I’m believin’
I took a fancy to Nancy
Wrapped in a Dan-ce of romance
Footloose and fancy free
Is she really dancing with me
Coming back from out of the black
Into the blue with you
Through the last chapter… happily, ever after

See if we’re able
We’re certainly capable
Of getting ourselves in the swing of things
… into the swing of things
See if it’s actual
That it’s factual
To get natural
Getting in the swing of things
… into the swing of things
You go to and fro
Before ya know
You’re part of the show
Feel free to join in and sing
Before ya know…
You’ll start to swing
… into the swing of things

LYRICS
Come on everybody give it one more try
One more try and you’ll know why
Come on everybody we can all get by
One more try — turn the vibration high
You’ll know why
You’ll know why
It matters to try
When we try
Try, try, try
Vibration’s high
If everyone everywhere becomes aware
I’m tellin’ ya folks we’ll be almost there
IF everyone everywhere will start to care
Then my friend, we’ll be already there

ABOUT THE SONG

Chords: E G A E / E C D E
Recording: live
Vocals, Guitar
Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets. Recorded at Everhart Park in Chester County, West Chester, PA.
The intersection of Church and Gay Streets is my favorite place to write songs. Not only is it inspirational for lyrics, but the groove of the music can also be tested. Within minutes of starting this song, children of all ages began dancing… a 4-year-old boy started gyrating, a 5-year-old girl twisted and shook, a 1-year-old girl did the up n’ down dance and several adults couldn’t help themselves.
The lyrics were inspired by the public hearing about writing music at Gay Church.

bookmark_borderFree Lunch at Gay Church
LYRICS
I went to my usual spot
Where I sit just ’bout every day
I thought things were going in the usual way
But, there in my seat
Were sandwiches… cheese and meat
A free lunch on its way
A free lunch here today
A free lunch…
A free lunch… what can I say?
I’ve always had a hunch
There’s such thing as “a free lunch”
Did Friedman feed men?
Was Milton smitten?
’cause I find it fittin’
I’ve a bunch of free lunch

LYRICS
You in neon blue
Sure come sure come shinning through…
You do
The way you dazzle
Causing a hassle
Speak? I tried…
Tongue twisted and tied

A blue neon dress
On you…
Making dreams come true

LYRICS
Do you have fears when you listen with your ears
Palpitations start when you listen to your heart
Dropping jaw
Staring in awe
Amaze for days
Dazed n’ askew
Unfounded kind
Dumbfounded mind
Not just you… but for me, too
Do you hear cheers when you listen to the young
Does the feel heal when the song is heart sung
