LYRICS
No, not I
Need ask why
Time to try
Do or die
Now the blues have departed
Let’s get this party started
Together the kind-hearted
Get the party started

We can rely on the 4th of July
For that Philadelphia Spirit
Let’s hear it!

We can rely on the 4th of July
Are you aware we declare
Independence
“You’re free to dance”

We can rely on the 4th of July
A declaration of celebration
Good news! The red, white and blues
Roll out the tide of pride
Arrived
Survived

Rely on the 4th Of July.mp3

LYRICS

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

The saddest thing I’ve ever seen…
Is Shoudy sailing in a U-haul truck
What the %uck?
Life gets obscene
Know what I mean?

Don’t hesitate
Before it’s too late
Tempt fate
Go irate
Set ’em straight

Come on back, Jack!
The best crib to ad-lib
Music, dancin’ shakin’ the shack

Why live like you’re barely alive
Why even bother to try?
Why not give it all you’ve got
Why not?

LYRICS
Hey, hey, Mama!

Come and take my hand
If you want to understand
Do you want to take a stroll
And, get to know rock n’ roll?

Come to understand
The land…
Of music
Make it dense
Make it thick

(Wanna a whole lotta love? reprise)

Do you want to take a stroll
Through the land of rock and roll
Do you want to get through to the other side?
Then, let’s take a ride
Let’s ride the tide
On the crest of the wave
Soundwave

That’s a good way to stave off starvation of your soul
With rock n’ roll

(screaming fade out)

LYRICS
A song… that when we play
Everyone will say,
“There’s a sing along song!”

I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance….

I want a song… sing along
One that they’ll say,
“Hey, there’s a sing along song”
I want a song that we can all sing along
We can whistle away

(whistle)

Hey! There’s a sing along song
Hey, there’s that sing along song

You can swing and dance
While you have the chance
To have the time as a being
For the time being
For the time that you have the time as a being
For the time being

(guitar solo)

While you have the time….
As a being
For the time being
Hey! There’s that sing along song
Hey, did you hear them say, “There’s that sing along song!”

I want a song that we can all sing along
One that will make them swing and dance
I want a song that we can all sing along
When upon second glance
They say, “Hey, there’s that sing along song.”

(instrumental)

I want a song we can sing along
One we can sing all day
I want a song we can sing along
One we can whistle away

LYRICS
We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

For the time I’m here
I wanna get clear
What is good

’cause who’s to say what is good?
Come on now, everybody knows
At least they should

We could try, we could
You know we could

We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

So, what do you think…?

We’re here for the Good Time
What about you? I know that I’m

Are you here for the good time?
Come on chyme in
I know that I am

Are you here for the good time?
Come on chyme in
And, say that “I’m”

F# / Em / E / F

Now, that
Took me by surprise
How about you?
Wow! That
Took me by surprise
Impromptu

I get
A new pair of shoes
Probably
The ones you lose
But, they
Sure help
This dancing muse

All those
Lights are flashing
A K-9 unit, too?
That blows
The crowd dashing
To get out of view

The truck
Pulling out
The truck
Gets stuck
In the mud
The jerk offs
Pulling their pud
Wanna be called
Office-sir

While life
Goes by
In a blur

ABOUT THIS SONG
It was my birthday. Because of prior obligations, I did not think I would be free. At the last minute, the situation changed. So, we had a surprise party. As it was Halloween, we took are party on the road and ended up at another costume party.

It was raining hard. Cars got stuck in the mud. A friend of mine was dressed up like an Asian Santa Clause. The mud was so deep she took off her shoes and handed them to me. While I was walking around holding them, a caravan of police vehicles arrived. The crowd scattered.

The next day on FaceBook I wrote:
Now THAT was a surprise party… not sure who was surprised more… me or you?

And, the friend wrote:
Where the heck did you go last night!? haha i was hiding in the car from the cops for an hour and then you were gone :o( buuuut it was fun glad you came out and hope you had an awesome birthday.. ps do you have asian santas shoes? lol

To which I replied:
Ha… I thought the shoes were my birthday present from Santa? By the way, you inspired a new song.
