2.Gee


3.Heroes And Villains

I've been in this town so long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone and unknown for a long, long
time
Fell in love years ago with an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home, home of the heroes and
villains

Once at night, Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets that eventually
brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night, unafraid
Of what a dude'll do in a town full of heroes and villains

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

Stand or fall
I know there shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains

My children were raised, you know they suddenly rise
They started slow, long ago, head-to-toe, healthy, wealthy and
wise
I've been in this town so long, so long to the city
I'm fit with the stuff to ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff, I'm alright, by the heroes and

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done

5.I'm In Great Shape

Freshened air around my head
Mornings tumble out of bed
Eggs and grits and lickety-split, look at me jump
I'm in the great shape of the open country


6.Barnyard

Out in the barnyard
the chickens drew their numbers
out in the barnyard
the cook is chopping lumber

jump in the pigpen
next time I'll leave my shoes on
hit the dirt
do two and a half
next time I'll leave my hat off

oooh oooh oooh ooh
oooh oooh oooh oooh
oooh oooh oooh oooh
oooh oooh oooh oooh


7.My Only Sunshine(The Old Master Painter / You Are My Sunshine)

You were my sunshine, my only sunshine
You made me happy when skies were blue

You'll never know, dear, how much I loved you
How could you take my sunshine away?


8.Cabin Essence

Light the lamp and fire mellow,
Cabin essence timely hello,
Welcomes the time for a change.

Lost and found, you still remain there.
You'll find a meadow filled with grain there.
I'll give you a home on the range.

Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?
Who ran the iron horse?

I want to watch you windblown facing
Waves of wheat for your embracing.
Folks sing a song of the grange.

Nestle in a kiss below there.
The constellations ebb and flow there.
And witness our home on the range.

Who ran the iron horse?
(Truck driving man do what you can)
Who ran the iron horse?
(High-tail your load off the road)
Who ran the iron horse?
(Out of night-life-it's a gas man)
Who ran the iron horse?
(I don't believe I gotta grieve)
Who ran the iron horse?
(In and out of luck)
Who ran the iron horse?
(With a buck and a booth)
Who ran the iron horse?
(Catchin' on to the truth)
Who ran the iron horse?
(In the vast past, the last gasp)
Who ran the iron horse?
(In the land, in the dust, trust that you must)
Who ran the iron horse?
(Catch as catch can)

Have you seen the grand coolie workin' on the railroad?
Have you seen the grand coolie workin' on the railroad?
Have you seen the grand coolie workin' on the railroad?

Over and over,
The crow cries uncover the cornfield.
Over and over,
The thresher and hover the wheat field.

Over and over,
The crow cries uncover the cornfield.
Over and over,
The thresher and hover the wheat field.

Over and over,
The crow cries uncover the cornfield.
Over and over,


9.Wonderful

She belongs there, left with her liberty
Never known as a non-believer
She laughs and stays in the
Won- won- wonderful

She knew how to gather the forest when
God reached softly and moved her body
One golden locket quite young
And loving her mother and father

Farther down the path was a mystery
Through the recess the chalk and numbers
A boy bumped into her
Won- won- won- wonderful

Na na na na na na na

Hey bobba reba

12.Surf's Up

Beach Boys
Smile
Surf's Up
A diamond necklace played the pawn
Hand in hand some drummed along, oh
To a handsome man and baton
A blind class aristocracy
Back through the opera glass you see
The pit and the pendulum drawn
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping?

Hung velvet overtaken me
Dim chandelier awaken me
To a song dissolved in the dawn
The music hall a costly bow
The music all is lost for now
To a muted trumperter swan
Columnated ruins domino

Canvass the town and brush the backdrop
Are you sleeping, brother john?

Dove nested towers the hour was
Strike the street quicksilver moon
Carriage across the fog
Two-step to lamp lights cellar tune
The laughs come hard in auld lang syne

The glass was raised, the fired rose
The fullness of the wine, the dim last toasting
While at port adieu or die

A choke of grief hard hardened i
Beyond belief a broken man too tough to cry

Surf's up
Aboard a tidal wave
Come about hard and join
The young and often spring you gave
I heard the word
Wonderful thing
A children's song

Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
Child, child, child, child, child
A child is the father of the man
A children's song
Have you listened as they played
Their song is love
And the children know the way
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child
Child, child, child, child, child
Na na na na na na na na
Child, child, child, child, child
That's why the child is the father to the man
Child, child, child, child, child


13.I Wanna Be Around / Workshop

Freshened air around my head
Mornings tumble out of bed
Eggs and grits and lickety-split
Look at me jump!
I'm in the great shape of agriculture...


I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart (your heart)
Yes when somebody breaks your heart (your heart)
In two (in two)


14.Vega - Tables

I'm gonna be round my vegetables

I'm gonna chow down my vegetables

I love you most of all

My favorite vege-table


If you brought a big brown bag of them home

I'd jump up and down and hope you'd toss me a carrot


I'm gonna keep well my vegetables

Cart off and sell my vegetables

I love you most of all

My favorite vege-table


Oh oh taba vega vegel


I tried to kick the ball but my tenny flew right off

I'm red as a beet 'cause I'm so embarassed


Sleep a lot eat a lot brush em like crazy

Run a lot do a lot never be lazy

Sleep a lot eat a lot brush em like crazy

Run a lot do a lot never be lazy


Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do

Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do

Oh oh dum do dum de dooby do

oh yeah

Oh badumday oh dum do dum de dooby do

Oh badumday oh dum do dum de dooby do


I throw away my candy bar and I ate the wrapper

And when they told me what I did I burst into laughter


I know that you'll feel better
When you send us in
Your letter an'

Tell us the name of your

Your favorite vege-table


15.Holidays

A pirate with at tune on a holiday
Ol' lazy mister moon want a getaway
And isn't that a moon for a milky way?
A ukulele lady - a round-a-lay.
Rock, rock roll, Child!
Rock, rock roll, Plymouth Rock roll over
For a holiday - with a round-a-lay.

Abaft and forth - a starboard course with
north abeam, sherry of course.
The men will share some sport ah-now me hearty!
Not the rum of Carib scum. It's Port tonight,
drink up and come.
Un-weigh the anchor yank and we will party!

A shanty town - a chanty in Waikiki
And juxtapose a man with a mystery.
A blue Hawaiian - capture his melody.
And Liliuola Kalani will sing to me.

Rock, rock roll, Child!
Rock rock roll, Plymouth Rock roll over
For a holiday...
Long, long ago...long ago.

Whisperin' winds, send my wind chimes a-tinklin'


16.Wind Chimes

Hanging down from my window
Those are my wind chimes
On the warm breeze the little bells
Tinkle like wind chimes
Though it's hard i try not to look at my wind chimes
Now and then a tear rolls off my cheek

Close your eyes and lean back now listen to wind chimes
In the late afternoon you're hung up on wind chimes
Though it's hard i try not to look at my wind chimes

19.Good Vibrations

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations

(Oom bop bop good vibrations)

Good good good good vibrations

Close my eyes
She's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)

She's giving me excitations

Good good good good vibrations

21.Heroes And Villains(Stereo Mix)

I've been in this town
So long that back in the city
I've been taken for lost and gone
And unknown for a long long time

Fell in love years ago
With an innocent girl
From the Spanish and Indian home
Home of the heroes and villains

Once at night Catillian squared the fight
And she was right in the rain of the bullets
That eventually brought her down
But she's still dancing in the night
Unafraid of what a dude'll do
In a town full of heroes and villains

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done, done
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done, done

Stand or fall I know there
Shall be peace in the valley
And it's all an affair
Of my life with the heroes and villains

My children were raised
You know they suddenly rise
They started slow long ago
Head to toe healthy wealthy and wise


I've been in this town so long, so long to the city
I'm fit with the stuff to ride in the rough
And sunny down snuff I'm alright
By the heroes and

Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done
Heroes and villains
Just see what you've done, done

24.He Gives Speeches

Silken hair, more silken hair
Fell on her face and no wind was blowin'
(She's goin' bald)

Silken hair, more silken hair
Lay near her pillbox down at her feet
(She'd been on a trip)

I peeked in and when I saw she'd
Lost her hair I thought I would keel
(she's goin' bald)
When she saw her shining forehead
Didn't stop she swooned to the ground
(Really flipped her wig)

Laughed so hard I
Blew my mind
I blew my cool
I blew myself over

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Sha na na, sha na na na na na na na na
What a blow
Sha na na, sha na na na na na na na na
What a blow
Sha na na, sha na na na na na na na na
What a blow
Sha na na, sha na na na na na na na na
What a blow
Sha na na, sha na na

She drew her comb acrost her scalp
And brushed what she had left
I tried to salvage what I could
And threw it in a sack
She made a b-line to her room
And grabbed all kind o' juice
She started pourin' it on her head
And thought it'd grow it back
Ah ha haaaaaa

You're too late mama
Ain't nothin' upside your head
No more no more no more no more

Upside your head

Too late mama
Ain't nothin' upside your head
No more no more no more no more

Upside

Upside your head

You're too late mama
Ain't nothin' upside your head
No more no more no more no more
(What about it, dude?)
