LYRICS
Here it comes!
Add up the sum of the sum of the sums
Here it comes

Here it comes!
It comes
Will come like a drip, drip, drip
To the tick, tick, tick-tock
Of the clock
Will it walk the walk
Just talk the talk
Talk the walk walk the talk?

Well, do you know
Will it flow
Will it usher in the gusher?
Here it comes!

Here it comes!

Will it rush right out
We’ll we find out
When it’s not quite
It won’t quit
Will it just keep coming like a comet
Through the atmosphere
Do we have something to fear?
’cause here it comes!

Here it comes!

Hope it’s bringing fun
And, then some
’cause there’s nowhere to run
Here it comes!
Like the light of the sun
I yearn that it won’t burn
I am hoping that it will shine so fine
Like a light divine

Here it comes!

Gonna usher in the gusher
Gonna know the flow
It’s about
It’s about to spout
It’s about to spout out
Here it comes!

LYRICS
Crippled by hysterics
Searching for the lyrics

Where do I begin
Digign’ in and penetratin’

I’ve never had writer’s slumps
Never been in the dumps
Makes it really hard for me to relate
Makes it really hard to state

LYRICS
Fluttering pink and white petals
Creates a blanket as it settles
Will the mountains and canyons shake
Will children of the sun awake?

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

Now that you’re living in castles
You can’t cope with any hassles
The love child’s gone wild?
Turned to milk-toast… lame and mild

Children of the sun
Blossoms in the wind
When the day is done
Where have you been

ABOUT THE SONG
C Am D G
C Am
C G

This is a song about bands from the 60’s that sang about love and flower children. Then, they got older and richer. They turned into hypocrites living in castles. In the Led Zeppelin song “Going To California”, they sing “The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake… as the children of the sun began to awake.”

LYRICS
If times are rough, getting too tough
Do the shuffle
Take it to the street with your happy feet
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Got a brain fart… don’t know how to start
Do the shuffle
Do it with conviction! Do it with heart!
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

Shake it loose. Turn on the juice.
Do the shuffle
It’s not too late to participate
Do the shuffle

For a method that’s tried and true
The elixir fixer for you
A sample dance that you can do

LYRICS
Mother Nature is getting her act together
Looks like we’re in for some extreme weather
Better batten down the hatches
Check the locks and check the latches
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

Better of not fooling with Mother Nature
Just another man-made folly for sure
Amaze with a haze… the lines we blur
Bringing on the rapture is no cure
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

We had better think twice ’bout being nice
Skating on thin ice won’t suffice
Deadline is upon us… time to pay the price
Stork of midnight. Coach to pumpkin. Horses to mice.
The clouds foreshadowing doom
‘less corrective action is taken soon

Cross my heart and hope to die
Start helping the alive thrive

Like a scent to hound dog
Seeking out the light

LYRICS
I thought I was winning the race
When I heard a voice say, “Pick up the pace!”

Are you aware
The turtle doesn’t always beat the hare
In fact, only one in a million beat him there

Time to put on the shoe and tie the lace
Keep the foot out of the mouth on my face
Time to pick up the pace

You invented the clock (tick-tock)
Now its slave, you work
The ship has left the dock
Spoon’s run away with the fork
Workin’ for the clock (tick-tock)
