Also known as Bringing On The Smiles

LYRICS
If you’re in doubt (scream) throw it out
Don’t be afraid to turn your inside out
The angels at your destination
Are cheering in appreciation

The glowing of the character… bringing on the smiles

The thumbs-up, coin-toss, head nod, universal signal

Thank you. I can never have to many
Styles of smiles
Tokens of appreciation
Styles of smiles
Stokin’ love combustion

LYRICS
Do you find it compelling when a cat stalks a mouse?
Do you find yourself watching the burning of a hosue?

Beauty is the I of the beholder

Not a matter of being bolder
Not a matter of growing older

Do you find it compelling when you watch an arrest?
Then, on the other hand… are you willing to witness?

Before going to be… watch this
There goes a piece of JFK’s head
Watch the train wreck
What the heck

Beauty is the I of the Be Holder.mp3

Em add G, D, Bb

Written and recorded on September 12, 2012 in Ambler, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. It is about the beauty in people when they see beauty, as well as, the beauty in a thrill.

LYRICS
Though the choices are vast… wide
Decide
Have a vision and make a decision
Is it in your essence to influence
A positive outcome… by acting smart
Not dumb
All the while
In fun
While not bothering to think “How come?”
Make it done
You’ll find
Making of mind
Will be your litmus test of us
You’ll find
Making of mind
Will determine your test of time

LYRICS
The crowd… they hear it
Building community spirit
Worldly beebop, beebop, beebop

Catch a buzz
Rise above
Be the beebop

The age of youth
Believes in growth
Caterpillar evolves into butterfly
Why not I?

When I eye I, I see
I can be the beebop
With those rising to the top
Cream of the crop

LYRICS
Love that’s made from first aid
Live your life like you wouldn’t trade
Put yourself out… don’t be afraid
Step it up… raise your grade
Guaranteed you’ll be repaid
You weren’t meant to wade
Dive in before you fade

There was a little engine
That thought he could
He could use a little push
If you would

There was a little imagine
A thought that would
2 in the hand
Verses 1 in the bush

Understand
Imagine

Please do not resist the assist
A request for aid
Has been made

Offering heart felt help

LYRICS
So, you want to go wailing
Why would you want to do a thing like that?

The buffoon pulls out his harpoon
Shooting himself in the foot
Commence the wailing

You piss in your sink and then stop to think
“Wonder why I have disease?”
You foul your fowl because you’re chicken to change
Then stop to think, “Wonder why I have food poisoning?”

Am I thick
We’re why I’m sick

LYRICS
If you’re feeling blue
There’s something you can do
Just turn the corner
(remember turn the corner)
Up, up, up, up, up
And, smile a while

Splash on some happiness
Let it wash over you
Overcome. Be overlord
Of the darkness

Awash in the happiness
Part of the song and dance crew
Overcome. Never board.
Smack on the lips with a happiness kiss

At the end of your lips
The corner of your lips
Do away with the dips
Turn it up a bit

LYRICS
You’re shy. Don’t ask why.
When it comes to performing
When it comes to the public eye
You’re a little shy
You get butterflies
But, when God gives you the chance
You enchant people with dance

Please play a little
They pray you play a little
From the extremes to the middle

She’ll be there
Should you fall
If you’re playing for the Charity Ball

Ya’ll
Come play
At the Charity Ball

Now, as if you have a harp
Please play for the angels
They usually can’t dance
’till Hell freezes over
Without any pressure on you
Let’s see what you can do

You can part
You can part
When you’re glowing in the heart

You can part any sea
Turn water to wine
Create a feast for the hungry to dine

When you’re glowing in the heart
The hearts you’ll start
When you’re glowing in the dark

Emotional smarts
Spiritual larks
Take flight

LYRICS
I was…
Naked. Tied-up.
Bound and gagged
In the back of your mother’s station wagon
Hang-on
Lights are flashing
The spot light is on
Officer says, “What’s going on?”

Now, you’ve changed
How you’ve changed
Your mind rearranged
(You’re) estranged

Oh, no
She went psycho
Joined the Puritan Police
Now, I need a release

Oh, let my daughter go
’cause you know
You went psycho

You use to be some fun
But, now
People run!

You ain’t no superhero
With that super, super ego
No. No. No.

Janet, try your switch
’cause less is on
