LYRICS
If you long to be strong and able
Take a look in the stable
If you want to manage your mayhem
Take a look in the manger (head to Bethlehem)
May you know the glow
Let the abundant love show flow
Might you sense the light
Revealing almost everything… quite
LYRICS
It doesn’t matter who you are
You can go as far….
You can go as far as any star
You can rise up into heaven
You can sing or play the guitar
You can make what is odd even
And, then….

LYRICS
I think I
I think I am
I think I can begin
I think it’s time to think
Crawl out from undercover
Crack a smile and wink
True love can never smother
Hug another like your lover
Hug another like your mother
Hug another
Smile, nod… or just say “hi” as they’re passing by
It’s not outrageous for something good to be contagious
Do my part
To start a heart
Let the hate depart
Ya know hate’s got to go
Pack his bag and stow
On the last train to “I don’t know”

LYRICS
What do I believe in?
I believe in the freedom of speech
That let’s me speak my mind
My right to point out someone viscous, savage… or kind
I believe in the freedom to believe in religion
Or the those that choose no diving discipline
My God!
Believin’ in believing in believing
I believe I can walk the walk
Given the freedom to talk, talk, talk
I don’t believe a bit in being a hypocrite
I do believe we should teach the children this bit

LYRICS
Though there’s cheaters and creepers here
I hope the music cuts through the fear
May it bring you comfort and joy
Way more than some wrapped [rapped] toy
Though there’s fakes and non-believers here
I hope the music cuts through their shit
Brings you comfort… at least a bit
Way more than some stuffed bear
Brings the comfort from here to there
Though there’s sleepers and beaters here
I hope the music extinguishes the fear
May it bring you comfort and joy
Way more than some wrapped toy
Whistles and bells set to annoy
May the music bring you comfort and joy
May it bring you comfort and joy
LYRICS
Do you remember the mood
When those that could would
(And, those that would could)
Do you enjoy the scene
When the mean is lean?
How much would would a would chuck chuck if would chuck could chuck would?

LYRICS
We’re gonna fly this thing sink or swim
Invoked my thought process
Passed beyond a whim
Gonna build this colossus
Murphy’s Law can’t win
No, never gonna stop us
We’ll never give in
Can’t pull my pork… whack my pud
Ain’t gonna fall face-flat in the mud
Pop your cork
Never a dud
Get behind us, and we’ll call you bud

Written and recorded on September 15 and 16, 2012 at the Race Street Pier, Philadelphia and the West Chester, Pennsylvania. It was inspired by inspiration and innovation of the participants in the Red Bull FLugtag competition, as well as, the cooks at the West Chester Restaurant Festival. In the Flugtag event, contestants build contraptions and then try to fly them over the Delaware River. At the restaurant festival, cooks make adventurous dishes like Duck Tacos and fried pickles… then try to coax the crowd into becoming consumers.

LYRICS
Once upon a time the West was wild
The impact of man having been mild
It’s been quite a while
Since there’s been a wolf’s howl
Now, the West isn’t the same (no, no more)
The Western man made it lame
“Of course, you’d better shoot that horse!”
Amazing
Should of stuck to gazing not grazing, hazing, razing, phasing, tasing
’till every red man is a dead man
Burning the planet of its plants
Stripped the mines as if they’re yours
Who knows if life endures

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
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

The crowd… they hear it
Building community spirit
Worldly beebop, beebop, beebop
Catch a buzz
Rise above

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
