Nice 'N Easy Vibe
Ladies and gentlemen!
So glad you all arrived
No rules here to bend
On our nice and easy vibe
You don’t spend a dime
Just roll up with the tribe
Ready for a good time?
Enjoy a nice and easy vibe
Nice and easy vibe
You can write the words in the sky!
Everyone black or white
Gay or straight or can’t decide
Is invited to the next cosmic ride!
Do you think the world’s in trouble?
C’mon, get down here on the double
You really oughta give it a try
Check out our nice and easy vibe
Old Lady
I’d like to meet an old lady
Who gladly would take care of me
And maybe if the fates are kind
She would have a lot of money
Should I go to the bingo hall?
Or roam the shopping mall?
Older women sure know the drill
The time is waning so get real
Commitment is mythology
Let’s have fun with biology
Should I practice shuffle board?
Or buy clothes I can’t afford?
Go to a bar and down O'Doul's?
Watching the clock
Cos if it’s late
I gotta stay awake
Or look like a fool
Turn those lights way way down low
This certainly ain’t no Broadway show
Better yet just turn them off
Should we also take our clothes off?
Joy of Surprise
A road long, twisted and bleak
Unwinding for years and now behind me
Things take such a long time
While the beat goes on sublime
To ever reach the pinnacle
It seems like a miracle
When time and money and tears
And the unrelenting tyranny of fear
Finally melt away to reveal the metaphysical
The psychic breeze flowing over god's trees
Flowing through you and me
Restores the soul and caresses the shards
Satori here and there are cue cards
To avoid snares around the knees
So wonderful is the moment enjoyed
Experience the world when seen as a boy
Stars in vast space so far above
Tell each of us that we are god’s love
There is no center, no deep chasm to avoid
And there at last she was
A ray of light to be taken
To inspire the beautiful swan
To be awakened
The years folded and collapsed
And the magick was brought back
The hardships became lessons in disguise
In the presence of the joy of surprise
County Fair
Today they open the county fair
Miss Holopaw will cut the ribbon
Pastor Tim will offer a prayer
To bless everyone attending
The Ferris wheel will start its spin
Barkers will hawk trinkets with a grin
If you think that your aim is sound
Pay a buck, throw the ball thru the air
If you knock the bottle down
Then you win that fluffy teddy bear
The Ferris wheel will start its spin
The tilt a whirl will come to life
Barkers hawk trinkets with a grin
Boys bring your gal, husbands your wife
The whole town looks forward to
Cotton candy, bag toss, hot dogs too
Ears of corn, ribs on the barbecue
Kids laugh and kick up sawdust
Brings back the child in all of us
In a world of taxes and money woes
And relationships that seem beyond repair
You now have a place to go
Chuck those worries and hit the county fair!
The whole town looks forward to
The bearded lady, clowns juggling too
Cotton candy, red, pink or blue
Plastic horses on the merry-go-round
A better time simply cannot be found!
Constable Carter's Holiday Hunt
On the edge of town in the old fairgrounds
In the bramble they call Sherlock Gamble
Constable Carter hosts his holiday hunt
Rabbits, foxes, birds, bears
Are hardly seen so just be aware
Watch your six…it’s dangerous out there
Not to be too blunt
Constable Carter’s holiday hunt
Isn’t your typical family affair
Bring your own bottle and pack that gun
Make sure you come loaded for bear
The woods get dark and be aware
The constable gets all the fun
You will start in Sherlock at the first sign of dark
Night vision glasses are not allowed
This is a fair hunt claims the paying crowd
Never mind those ugly rumors
That no animal is harmed
That is unless it has two arms
The hunt isn't a lark
The authorities in other counties
Don't date to interfere
The constable has connections
And can ruin political careers
Constable Carter is the law in this town
And he will investigate
If any bad stuff goes down
No need for agencies from city or state
Never mind the feeling
You may never be found
Do not be afraid of the sudden fear
For wherever you are
The Lord will be near
