LYRICS
Do you really want to mess with this
A strutter with a stutter
What’s the matter
Confess
Strutter stu, stu, stu, stutterer
No joke
Do you really want to poke
n’ prod
Sad sod
Cracked egg
Mercy beg
Face yoke
No joke
All the King’s horses
And all the King’s men
Have no clue where you’ve been

LYRICS
Something gypsy-like strut
Sure thing to shake your…
But…
Let it rattle
Let it roll
End the battle
Of the droll
May the mirthful
Take their toll
“His unique brand
Of droll
Self-mockery”
Join the band
And stroll
Some strutting (Struttering)
No! No if, and or but’s
Hey, hey, hey
Say
You’re shaking our…
But, but, but, but’s

LYRICS
What the hell?
Clear-as-a-bell
See-saw
Teeter tottering
On the brink
Civil-annihilation
Humanitarian
Starvation
Historian
Degradation
Can I count on you
To lean into
Terrestrial realization
Down to earth birth
Singing earthlings
Sky blue blues
They say
They went away
Turned gray
Crawl out of the fright
Crawl in into the light
Walk out of the night
Talk of the found light

Chords: Dm D
LYRICS
Walking down the street
Head buried deep
Shedding all mystique
Into the crosswalk creep
Really not that far
From being hit by a car
Oblivious
To all of us
Before you end up old
Come out of your own world
Before you end up dead
Listen to what you said
How come you’re in the midst of Vietnam
Lost calm… a pig slaughtered… turned to ham
Singing the Napalm Psalm Song
Head in the sand for how long?
Do you think we might
See the new day’s light?

LYRICS
Welcome to the air
My Dear
Though I know not how you breath
Yet, it’s clear you’re here
So, now I know
My eyes to believe
How the scales fit your hips
On the other hand
How to understand
You’ve hands and lips?
How can we meet
How can we complete compete
With survival
Of all
As the fittest
At best
Our quest
To be we
(Oui, oui)
Will you be my Mayan mermaid
And, I’ll try to be your humane human man?
Maid/made please don’t clean my memory
Of what my third-eye can see

LYRICS
St. Dennis Fair
Been there?
St. Dennis Fair
Are you, too?
A stilt walking musician
Said, “I’ll meet you there.”
Where a larger than life
Ferris wheel
Became real
Talk about zeal
To the beat
IN the summer heat
Hot girls hot
In their tube-tops
Trying not
To run from cops
If it starts to rain
Will we remain
In your stride
On the ride
Going roundabout
Guys shout
Gals scream
Living the dream

LYRICS
Though people may scoff
Truth they can’t con
Wax on
Wax off
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues
Gonna find that buzz
Make it was
Gonna grind that hum
’till pure when done
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues
Come on! Fix the mix
Give balance a chance
A lil’ more keys
If you please
We’ll let the bass
Melt your face
Rub, rub, rub
The overdub
’till it’s fine
Let it shine
Putting on my detailing shoes
Running from the auto-tune blues

LYRICS
Talking about the obscure
Makes my mind want more
Grab the cat-astrophe by the tail
Non-ordered system
Chaos at the stem
Overhead view of the hurricane’s eye
Then I get “why”
Moving toward conclusion
Fact, fiction or illusion
Fall into enthrall of logical
I believe you found your call

bookmark_borderLet ‘er Rip
LYRICS
In an era of hate, greed and crime
Maybe it’s time
To step out-of-line
Don’t hesitate to step up to the plate
And hit it out of the park
Shift the gear to out-of-here
Let ‘er rip!
Then, you know
Let it go
Watch it fly
Say “bye-bye”
IN the age of mad, sad and rage
Set the stage
To turn the page
Don’t procrastinate to participate
To calmer “sees” embark
Set sail to a fairy tale
Take a trip
Then, you know
Let us go
Watch us fly
Say “bye-bye”
