Dunkin Down
04:01
|

Setting time, drinking wine, marking my claim, dunking the old boss down
Home from school with the golden rule, trying to tell the fools
Not to lay my body down
Look at the suited clown, carry him over put him in a cage
Let's all have a turn, another round at taking the old boss down
Wasting time as the man divides, conquering us all. Waiting for it all fall down
Laughing off and crying on, won't be much longer till we're all gone
So stomp your feet and dance around.
Hey it's not too late to tell someone not to hate (‘Don’t hate’)
Hey dear mothers remain just like saints
Hacking tasks, placing blame, bobbing from the day to day, trying to keep my good friend down.
Bark along with the croaking toad won't be much longer till we're all told
'You better keep your barking down!!'
Hey it's not too late to tell someone not to hate (‘Don’t hate’)
Hey dear mothers remain just like saints
Tell me what the painted do to find their lips in a curve
When twenty lay atop another anticipating a thousand cries

Sassafras!
02:51
|
|||
|
She's got her hair tied up in a curly red pony
Overalls hang below her feet
She's hopping with frogs, She's playing with dogs
She's hopping and playing with frogs
Listen to me, I told you, a hundred times before
She's a tree climber, a rock rock-thrower, a fist fighter and a shit stirrer
She's goin' solo, carries a slingshot to church
Listen to me, I told you, A hundred times before
But I’m always calling Sassafras!
Sassafras!, Sassafras!, When will you learn
Peanut butter around her mouth
Jelly dripping down her blouse
Never comes around the house no more
Not much of a looker
But the boys keep calling on sassafras
Listen to me, I told you, A hundred times before
But I’m always calling Sassafras!
Sassafras!, Sassafras!, When will you learn
She's got a mouth that'll take you to task
The last word hides behind her teeth
I’m chasing her down she's running away
I’m chasing her down she's running away
(she's running far away!)
Listen to me, I told you, A hundred times before
But I’m always calling Sassafras!
Sassafras!, Sassafras!, When will you learn
Listen to me, I told you, A hundred times before
But I’m always calling Sassafras!
Sassafras!, Sassafras!
When will you, when will you learn?
Sassafras! Sassafras!

I wanna share what I can do
From runnin’ to playin’ the kazoo
I can do something just like you
I’m runnin fast. I won the race
I know a joke'll turn your face
I’ve got something to show and share
Something to show and share
Something to show and share!
I can whistle Baljit
Jump a rope with one of my feet
Skip two spaces on the monkey bars
Run around a tree

Making the Small
04:11

|
Sittin' here with my partner with nothin' to say
So I’ll run from the silence, And make some small talk anyway
So here we go again
How you doin' and where you been
What are you up to today
Makin' the small Cause I’ve got nothin' to say
Can't we sit here quiet With just a common face, In a common place
Instead here we go again
How you doin' and where you been
What are you up to today
Makin' the small Cause I’ve got nothin' to say
Makin' the small Cause I’ve got nothin to say
Makin' the small Cause I’ve got nothin' to say
Sittin' here with my partner with nothin' to say
So I’ll run from the silence, And make some small talk anyway
So here we go again
How you doin' and where you been
What are you up to today
Makin' the small Cause I’ve got nothin' to say
Can't we sit here quiet With just a common face, In a common place
Instead here we go again
How you doin' and where you been
What are you up to today
Makin' the small Cause I’ve got nothin' to say
Makin' the small Cause I’ve got nothin' to say
Makin' the small Cause I’ve got nothin' to say

Onomatopoeia
03:02

You can give until it hurts, and it will.
You can live the fate of jasper and cast an evil spell
Upon yourself and your relations, domestically and other nations
You know that soon you will reveal
Another Onomatopoeia
Bang
Zoom
Whoosh...
You can give until it hurts, and it will
You can give yourself to laughter and cast away the spell
Upon yourself and your relations, domestically and other nations
You know that soon you will reveal
Another Onomatopoeia
Bang
Zoom
Whoosh...

Everyday
03:49
|
|||
|
There’s people in the mountains, people in the street
People stomping on the flag, they know they can’t defeat
There’s people in the desert, people in the heat
Stomping on the flag and telling people to retreat
But they say that I was wrong
Writing down a song
But the people come along
And they sing it, sing it, sing it
They sing it everyday
They’re talking up my problem and talking down my fun
Talking down the dancers making rhythm in the sun
But the can’t deny the trees, can’t deny the seas
Can’t deny the river rambling just below their knees
But they say that I was wrong
Writing down a song
But the people come along
And they sing it, sing it, sing it
They sing it everyday
So I’m working on my outlook
Working on my state
Working on the people who always want to hate
Cause they can’t deny the blue skies, can’t deny the fields
Can’t deny the children laughing giving us a thrill
But they say that I was wrong
Writing down a song
But the people come along
And they sing it, sing it, sing it
They sing it everyday

Meet Me
04:20
|
|||
|
To share a pleasant phrase from a writing in a book
'Never judge by an outside cover before your inside look'
So take those eyes of yours and take a good long stare
Straight to the heart of someone who will really care.
It's a really good time to meet me, to meet me, greet me
It's a mighty fine time to meet me, to meet me, greet me
No, the pleasure's all mine, Truly, the pleasure's mine
I know your path is broken, but hear now what I say
Just look up, let me show the way
I’ve always found it easy to be so up and free
I promise that the morning sunshine when you’re home with me
It's a really good time to meet me, to meet me, greet me
It's a mighty fine time to meet me, to meet me, greet me
No, the pleasure's all mine, Truly, the pleasure's mine
No, the pleasure's all mine, Truly, the pleasure's mine
Truly, the pleasure's mine
No, the pleasure's all mine, Truly, the pleasure's mine
Truly, the pleasure's mine,
Truly, the pleasure's mine

Two of Us
05:01
|
|||
|
The moon cast shadows Standing in the blue light
And in our minds, We see inspiration and dreams of you
And if you can see me, Awaken and follow me, Awaken and follow me
The two of us, As dew
Dripping together, Over a crashing tide
You came to me, You set my mind at ease
You broke my heart and made it bleed, You broke my heart and made it bleed
A kiss to me can be, A soft and gentle thing
Now it seems to me to be inspiring everything
Come with me girl, I want to show you another world
All I want to do is play hop scotch, And dance in the street with you
All I want to do is play hop scotch, And dance in the street with you
We see our songs together, the pain that we feel
From the jail of flesh that surrounds us, We can't get away
So sway with me as we dance into another day
Dance into another day
The two of us, As dew
Dripping together, Over a crashing tide
You came to me, You set my mind at ease
You blessed my heart and made it bleed, You blessed my heart and made it bleed

Beers at Marty's
04:27
|

|
Some us are staying. Some us are going
Some us are praying. And some of us are knowing.
Some of us are graying; some of us are growing
But it’s the some of us that’s one of us, cause none of us is showing
It doesn’t matter which way you go.
It doesn’t matter the things you know
Like drinking beers at Mary’s
All night long
If I could see, just for a day
What would there be. What would they say.
Still I don’t know what they do
The road is the road, cause Paul says it’s true
Cause if the birds are humming a Beatles phrase
Just get behind the hip and sail away
Cause if the birds are humming a Beatles phrase
Just get behind the hip and sail away
It doesn’t matter which way you go.
It doesn’t matter the things you know
Like drinking beers at Mary’s
Like drinking beers at Mary’s
Like drinking beers at Mary’s
All night long
All night long

Find Me Again
02:53

Five feet of sunshine.
Six buckets of rain.
Just need two more lines
In the same vain.
Five feet of sunshine.
Six buckets of rain.
Just need two more lines
To find me again.
Find me again
Find me again
But you can't always find the words in your store
"but there sure is a lot of words you would have thought of"
As you come out of the door.
