Lyrics from our album “Livin’ for Today” (2020)
My Little Pink Wazoo
Verse 1:
I’ve wrote so many songs in many different ways
Old time, new time, fast time, slow rhyme
Man they’re ok
But of all the songs that I really love the best
With my pink wazoo they’re better than the rest
Chorus:
My Little Pink Wazoo
My Little Pink Wazoo
My Little Pink Wazoo it’s comin’ after you!
Solo
Verse 2:
I tried the blue one first and the green one just for fun
Blue one, green one, red one, orange one
Thought I was done
But that pink wazoo well it really passed the test
‘Cause my pink wazoo is better than the rest
Chorus
Bridge:
I had to pay my dues and practice all day long
Sing the blues on my pink wazoo until the day was done
But now its paying off and I’m havin’ me a ball
The pink wazoo, well I’m tellin’ you, it’s the best of all
Solo
Verse 3:
Sometimes that gal o’ mine says put that thing away
Old hat, heard that, play flat, quit that
Give it a break
But then she comes around when I’m playin’ at my best
She loves my pink wazoo, she’s better than the rest!
Chorus
Tax Man (He’s Gonna Getcha!)
Chorus:
Tax Man (He’s Gonna Gethcha) 4x
Verse 1:
Things went wrong all the money’s gone
All the birds and the bees gonna sing this song
They say ‘oh no, where the money all done gone?’
Verse 2:
We can’t blame you and we can’t blame me
Who we gonna blame well it’s plain to see
Its that tax man, all his money grows on trees
Bridge:
He comes around gonna shake you down
Fills his suitcase full then he’s outta town
Well he don’t care for you or me
He’s just evil as can be
Verse 3:
Well the sun comes up it’s another day
And he’s gonna make sure that we all pay
He’s the tax man, menace to society
Chorus
Verse 4:
He taxed his ma and he taxed his pa
Well he’s the worst child that they ever saw
Such a bad seed, takin all the cash they need
Verse 5:
He’ll bring you stress from the IRS
Gonna make sure your whole life’s a mess
Better watch out, gonna (sure to) leave you in distress
Bridge 2:
You work all night and you work all day
But he’s gonna take everything away
Well he won’t leave you nothing to eat
Tax the shoes right off your feet
Verse 6:
He’ll tax the poor throw them out the door
And if you got a dime he’s gonna ask for more
He’s no good, rotten down to the the core
Chorus, Solo, Chorus
Livin’ for Today
Verse 1:
You spend your prime workin’ overtime
And you think about your future
Someday you’re gonna have a ball
But for now its work and no fun at all
Before you know it you’re growin’ old
You’ve always done what you’ve been told
And now you’re too old
Don’t get around much any more
Chorus:
That’s why I’m
Livin’ for today, yeah
Livin’ for today, well
I’m not wasting all of my time
Chasing nickels, chasing dimes, I’m just
Livin’ for today, yeah,
Livin’ for today, well
I’d just rather live my life today
Verse 2:
The corporate ladder that you try to climb
Is never satisfying
Just when you think you’re gonna drop
You climb some more but can’t reach the top
You make more money and you pile it high
You’re saving it all until the day you die
And then you buy a coffin
The best that money can buy
But I’m just,
Chorus
Solo, Double chorus
Schweaty Lederhosen

Snuck out to the bar in my schweaty lederhosen

Vife knows ver you are in your schweaty lederhosen
I didn't think she'd find me here

Verse 2:

Livin’ with a Bear
Chorus:
I’m livin’ with a bear (I’m livin’ with a bear)
I’m living with a mean old country bear.
Well he’s six feet tall with a real mean growl
And he never combs his hair.
He wakes up with a grumble and he lumbers everywhere,
You might not care, but I’m livin’ with a bear.
Verse 1:
I grew up in a country home
Ordinary as can be.
Every day just like the next
Nothin’ ever happened to me.
Moved out on my own,
Got a grown-up job and a family.
Then one day, I nearly jumped out of bed,
It was a shock for me to see. I’m livin’ . . . [chorus]
Verse 2:
You might see me in a shop downtown
Or an upscale grocery store
And think I look so civilized,
Well I’m tellin’ you what, there’s more.
None of my friends could have a clue,
So normal I appear to be.
But I might as well fly in a UFO,
Life is strange as it can be. When I’m . . . [chorus]
Bridge:
First I thought I might somehow get used to him
Asked myself how hard could it be.
But then he snarls his teeth and growls at everything.
Life’s become unbearable for me. Cause I’m . . . [chorus]
Verse 3:
Well I can’t seem to tame him now
He’s ornery as can be.
Ain’t no room for the two of us
In a home with a family.
I told that bear he don’t belong
And he should go climb a tree.
He better get lost and find his way
And the forest is the place to be.
But I’m…
Chorus
We're Gettin' Saucy Tonight!
Chorus: (2x)
We're getting saucy tonight!
Saucy tonight!
There's gonna be a fight
We're getting saucy tonight!
Verse 1:
We're gonna start drinkin'
There ain't be no thinkin'
My brain starts to shrinkin'
And we're doing it again
Chorus, Solo
Verse 2:
When you starts accusin'
It lights up my fusein'
We've been up all night boozin'
And it's such a surprise!
Chorus
Verse 3:
We stay up ‘til light
Though it ain’t really bright
The mornings really bite
But we still party at night
Verse 4:
Who knew this could happen
We start to unwrapping’
My mouth starts to flappin’
Then I’m sleeping with the dog
Chorus, Solo, Chorus
Verse 5:
It’s like I just can’t win
I’m under the pin
They say that it’s a sin
And then we do it again
Chorus
Spoken:
Him- “Pass me my party liquor woman!”
Her- “Why don’t you go pass out!”
We’re getting saucy tonight!
Waltz Me Across the Floor
Won’t you waltz me across the floor some more,
Waltz me across the floor.
Squeeze me tight and don’t let go.
These are the times that I adore.
When you waltz me across the floor,
Waltz me across the floor.
Never want to let you go,
When you waltz me across the floor
Bobby’s Buying Tools Again
Chorus:
Bobby’s buyin’ tools again
He’s preparing the best he can
For something that he don’t understand
He could build a brand new kitchen
Install or repair an engine
But this time he just might need more
Verse 1:
He’s got his hammers and his screwdrivers too
But somehow he don’t know just what to do
He goes back and buys some more
Stocking up on tools galore
If he don’t stop he’ll own a hardware store
Bridge 1:
Sure to be a brand new life
That’s comin’ around the bend
Try to keep from freaking out
Take a deep breath, It’ll work out in the end
Chorus:
Bobby’s buyin’ tools again
He’s preparing the best he can
For something that he don’t understand
Solo
Verse 2:
He built a tree house that has one too many rooms
A guard rail and a closet for the broom
The neighbor thinks he’s lost his mind
The poundin’ nails and the sawdust flyin’
Oh he’s just racin’ against time
Bridge 2:
Care free livin’ how it used to be
Playin’ around town, all the time was free
Future is impossible to see
Hope it doesn’t change too much
And gobble up his personality
Chorus
Verse 3:
He see’s a million projects no one thought to do
His wife just sighs, the dog is wonderin’ too
Nothin’s gonna stop him now
An inch of snow and he’s on the plow
He’s gonna make it through some how
Repeat Bridge 1
Chorus
He’s goin’ back to the hardware store!
Stars
Verse:
Look up at the stars in the evening
let their light shine and fall down on you.
We're all just a tiny existence
but alive now so enjoy the view.
Reflect take the time to discover
your potential and your talent too.
Good friends help to guide you along
let them remind you that you're not alone.
Chorus:
Life's short and there's so many questions
but we can't know all the answers or truths.
Be kind and keep things in perspective
and be thankful to be you.
From Paris to Poplar
Chorus:
It’s a long way from Paris to Poplar
Flyin’ that airplane over the ocean blue
It’s a long way from Paris to Poplar
But it don’t give me the blues
Verse 1:
There ain’t no airplane in Poplar
The Richard Bong memorial has long been gone
All that ‘s left now is a marker
‘cause the plane moved out of town
Verse 2:
Paris has the famous Eiffel Tower
Poplar don’t have much more than a hardware store
Can’t find a baguette at the grocer
But that sweet gal of mine lives next door
Chorus
Verse 3:
Paris folk they wear them fancy shoes
Designer fashions on display as they stroll about town
Poplar folk get by with what they’re wearin’
Long as they don’t freeze to death
Verse 4:
Notre Dame’s a historic cathedral
People come from the whole world round
just to walk through its’ doors
Poplar’s church has one review on Google
They gave five stars but didn’t write a word
Bridge:
But when it comes to cheese, that’s another topic
Both take it serious as hell
So many cheese shops you cant try them all
But I’d sure be a happy man if I died tryin’
I’m talkin’ bout dairy products, YEAH!
Solo
Chorus
Cupola Criminals
Verse 1:
I had a couple of cupolas
Life was so sweet
Then a couple of guys in a late night time
Committed a cupola crime
Verse 2:
In the morning what did I see
Oh it made me gasp
Just one lonely eight-foot cupola
And a great big stretch of grass
Chorus:
Oh, why oh why did they do it
Who would do a thing like that
Why did somebody steal it
I wish they’d bring it back
Verse 3:
Policeman said what’s a cupola
Why would someone pick one up
I said check it out on craigslist
They sell for beaucoup bucks
Verse 4:
Now I have just one cupola
I’m not sure what to do
I suppose I could try to sell it
But I’ll never again have two
Chorus:
Oh, why oh why did they do it
Was it really for the cash
How could somebody steal it
I wish they’d bring it back
I wish they’d bring it back
I wish they’d bring it back
Paid in Time
Verse 1:
Stuck workin’ all the day
‘cause you need to have a job that pays
But you never seem to have a lot of time
That boss is runnin’ you, keeps you
From the things you’d rather do
Gonna wear you out and
Rob you of your prime
Bridge:
Need a better way
Work too hard every day
Wish that all that money could buy time, so…
Why don’t we change the rules
Gotta stop being such doggone fools
Instead of earning money we’ll earn time
Chorus:
Slave for that money
It ain’t that funny
Seems like its always
WORK, WORK, WORK, WORK!
If I had my way I’d make a change
If I were paid in time then I’d work all day!
Verse 2:
Some days you’re in a daze
Workin’ so hard it’s become a craze
Gonna lose your mind if you cannot unwind
Persuit of happiness has
Left you somewhere short of bliss
But the pay is good
You sacrificed your time
Repeat bridge and chorus
Solo, double chorus
