Where Are My Pants?
01:20
|
|||
Yesterday I wore a pair of pants (pants pants)
In the pocket of those pants there were some keys (keys keys)
I need those keys to get me out the door (door door)
Get out the door, I need those keys, where are my pants?
If I can't get out the door I'll miss the bus (bus bus)
If I miss the bus then I'll be late to class
If I'm late then I will surely fail the test
I'll fail the test, be late to class, I'll miss the bus, get out the door, I need those keys! Where are my pants?
If I fail then they won't let me graduate (-ate -ate)
If I do not graduate can't get a job
And without a job I'll have to move back home
I'll move back home, can't get a job, won't graduate, I'll fail the test, be late to class, I'll miss the bus, get out the door, I need those keys! Where are my pants?
If I move back home then I will need some keys (keys keys)
Wait! Did I say something about KEYS?
I'll need some keys, I'll move back home, can't get a job, won't graduate, I'll fail the test, be late to class, I'll miss the bus, get out the door, I need those keys! (I really really really need those keys!) Where are my pants?

Rat Attack
01:27
|

I was asleep in my big bed
Heard a sound around my head
Opened my eyes, what did I see?
But a great big rat
Stare back at me
He start to run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-around
I said get out get out get out get out get out get out get outa this town
You don't belong, it's just wrong
You stinkin' rat
Get outa my house
I see him fly in a crazy blur
of skinny legs and dirty fur
And then he runs right outa sight
My furry lover gonna spend the night.
I start to run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-around
I said get out get out get out get out get out get out get outa this town
You don't belong, it's just wrong
You stinkin' rat
Get outa my house
Take it, boys.
He start to run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a-run-a- run-a-run-a-run-a-run-around
I said get out get out get out get out get out get out get outa this town
You don't belong, it's just wrong
You are a rat, or maybe mouse
Get outta town, get outta my house
You stinkin' rat!
Get outta my house.

Lemon Poppyseed
02:15
|

End of the day, it's been a tough one
But not after I've tasted Susan's poppyseed muffins
You peel away the foil, smell that lemon zing
Take a tiny nibble, and then you start to sing
Lemon poppyseed
They lift you up
Like a hug when you're down
Just the touch you need
On an early autumn day
When the rain is pouring down
They're spongy as a belly and they're cuter than a button
There's crinkly silver foil wrapped on every single muffin.
The flavors frolic on your tongue -- their dance is improvised --
Lemons zing, seeds crunch, sugars gaily caramelize.
Lemon poppyseed
They lift you up
Like a hug when you're down
Just the touch you need
On an early autumn day
When the rain is pouring down
The day after my birthday could've been an anti-climax:
It rained. I thought I'd see a 3D movie at the IMAX.
But Susan sent me something that looked sweeter than molasses.
I didn't even have to wear those funny-looking glasses!
Lemon poppyseed
You lifted them up
And sprinkled them around.
I crushed on you, I believe,
But when you crushed poppyseeds
My world turned upside down.
Lemon poppyseed
They lift you up
Like a hug when you're down
Just the touch you need
On an early autumn day
When the rain is pouring down

The Other Side
03:01
|

I am trying to get across as a river
Water’s rising, mighty high and wide.
When the sun comes up over the water.
I will make it to the other side.
Oh, Lord, my life has been a river
Full of trouble, trouble all the time.
When the sun comes up over the water,
I can take me to the other side.
I will find a place where I belong.
I will find a place to call home.
You will find the words to your own sweet song,
you’re not alone.
We are standing, standing by the river
Past and future, stretching down the line
When the sun comes up over the water, lord,
We will make it to the other side.
We will make it.
We will make it.
We will make it
to that side.
We will make it.
We will make it.
We will make it
to that side.
