A way out west they got a name,
for wind and rain and fire
The rain is Tess, the Fire is Jo,
And they call the wind............

. . . Mariah!!! - the Kingston Trio


Well, I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain.
Fightin' an' trouble was my middle name.
I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion,
Can't no high-toned woman makes me walk the line

You move 16 tons and what do you get,
another day older and deeper in debt.
St. Peter don't you call me cause I cain't go.
I owe my soul to the company store.

sixteen Tons...Tennessee Ernie Ford

Somebody said he came from New Orleans,
Where he got in a fight over a draggin Queen.
And a crashing blow from a hot pink purse,
Put an L.A. feller in the back of a hearse.

OK Howard, you can't fool me - you altered the lyrics to:

Big Bad John - Tennessee Ernie Ford

(you did, didn't you? I can't find any updated version w/a HOT PINK PURSE)


And no one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams, they are as empty
As my conscience seems to be

[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark[/font]

You'll Never Walk Alone - from the Broadway musical "Carousel" (one of my fav's, and I did lights for our community theather production)


. . . and the livin' is easy,
Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high,
Your daddy's rich, and your momma's good-lookin'
Now hush little baby, don't you cry. . .

Summertime, Almost everybody


Puerto Rico my hearts devotion
let it sink back in the ocean
Always the hurricanes
Always the population growing

And the money owing
And the sun light streaming
And the native steaming
I like the island Manhattan
Smoke on your pipe and put that in

Back to the classics!!
Eve of Destruction - Bob Dylan


Oh, I'm sailin' away my own true love,
I'm sailin' away in the morning.
Is there something I can send you from across the sea,
From the place that I'll be landing?

Boots Of Spanish Leather...Bob Dylan


Here is a real oldie...
The man who only live for making money
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny;
Likewise the man who works for fame --
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
The fact is
The only work that really brings enjoyment
Is the kind that is for girl and boy meant.
Fall in love -- you won't regret it.

Yeah I did and I will thanks Here it is.



[font=Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Arial][size=-1] I am the very model of a modern Major-General,
I've information vegetable, animal and mineral;
I know the kings of England, and I quote the fights historical,
From Marathon to Waterloo, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadratical,
About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o'news --
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse.
I'm very good at integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalculous;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern Major-General. [/size][/font]

Pirates of Penzance!!!!! YAY!!!! LOVE Gilbert & Sullivan!!! This was one of the first theater performances I attended, when my aunt was in it in college!


Everything is a source of fun.
Nobody's safe, for we care for none!
Life is a joke that's just begun!

I can't remember the title for sure something about schoolgirls or something
But It is from The Mikado I think I suppose I'll have to look it up...I hate that.

You're really close, Howard: "Three little maids from school"

How about this one??

Black sheep dwell in every fold,
All that glitters is not gold,
Storks turn out to be but logs,
Bulls are but inflated frogs.

So they be,
Frequently.

This one I do know it is the Duet, The Captain & Buttercup
From HMS Pinafore

I'm Thinking (see smoke) This may take a while to come up with something really devilish...:devil:
