EVERY TIME YOU SMILE
V1
You light up my universe, when you walk in the room
You sit by my side, all dimples and perfume
You take my hand to the dance floor, then to heaven above
Feels like we’ve been together forever in love
[Chorus:]
I fall in love with you every time I see you smile
Every time you smile
I can’t help myself every time you smile at me
Every time you smile
V2
It’s so much fun, my heart’s humming a tune
I’m speechless and dumb when I look at you
Your breathtaking eyes are stuck in my mind
And pretty red lips, they curl up and shine
I fall in love with you every time I see you smile,
Every time you smile
I can’t help myself every time you smile at me
Every time you smile
I can see you love me
Your smile says that you do
V3
You know my my heart just knew I’d been waiting for you
You looked at me and smiled girl, because you knew
I fall in love with you every time I see you smile,
Every time you smile
I can’t help myself every time you smile at me
Every time you smile
I can see you love me
Your smile says that you do
You do. --- END ---

WHY CAN'T WE TALK?
V1
Don’t You remember, or do you choose to forget
How we both felt when we first met?
Faith is fine, if we don’t go blind
We believed in each other once upon a time
Chorus1
Why can’t we talk?
Try to listen more?
Are we both crazy
Who needs war?
V2
We look at each other through eyes of distrust
How did this happen to the two of us?
Lets call a truce, lets try to explain
All the things between that send us both insane.
Bridge:
Don’t know how to deal with all this
Hard to believe it started with a kiss
If only we could hold each other tight
Could it still make everything alright?
RPT CHORUS 1
Chorus 2
Hey, why can’t we talk?
Can’t we try and listen more?
It’s now or never,
So why can’t we talk? Woh -

GETTIN' ON A PLANE
VERSE 1
That barn’s pretty as a peach now it’s been painted
I’m started on the deck this afternoon
I practiced Cantonese
While trimming up the trees
Still all I could think about is you
VERSE 2
I did every chore that I could think of
All I know is I'm still feelin' blue
Nothing that I try
Could get you off my mind
Reckon there’s but one thing left to do
(‘n’ that’s to)
CHORUS
Get on a plane
Before I go insane
There’s nothing left for me to lose, and everything to gain
I’ve come around, seen the light
I'm on my way to make things right
I'm startin' now by gettin’ on a plane
VERSE 3
You said I'd never finish what we started
You said our love would never stand a chance
But honey I can prove
That our love is true
With this one way ticket in my hand
(Gonna....)
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Imagine you and I together, walkin’ in the sand
Life will be a honeymoon if you'll just take my hand
Instrumental
(Why don’t we..)
CHORUS
TAG
Enjoy the ride baby, hold on tight
Coz I’ve got weddin’ bells in sight
It’s starting now by gettin’ on a plane.

WHAT ON EARTH IS HAPPENING TONIGHT?
Not so long ago, you loved me
And I knew we were alright
Now with all this bickering I'm wonderin'
What on earth is happening tonight?
Ahhh---------
Ahhh---------
All our love has turned to anger
The picture’s turned from black to white
Right now, I wish I’d never met you
What on earth is happening tonight?
Ahhh-------
Ahhh---------
I was frightened of thunder
And scared of losing you too
Looks like a storm is approaching
It sucks cause there's nothing I can do
Is there nothing left of us to care for -
The tender messages we’d write?
Like tonight, when we met, I said;
Is this possible? this can't be possible!
What on earth is happening tonight?
What on earth is happening tonight?
Ahhh---------

A LITTLE DRINK
V1
Every night I’d kiss your picture
By a bed where only I sleep now
I’d open a bottle, say goodbye to troubles
I’d look at you and there I’d go again
[Chorus:]
When I had a little drink
As my tears appeared, I’d think
About my gentle sweet redhead
Who sang lullabies in bed
When I had a little drink
V2
You told me you might come back
But you were tired of putting out my fires
Honey, I’m a desert, and much better for it
I miss you still I won’t get lost again
Chorus:
When I had a little drink
As my tears appeared, I’d think
About my gentle sweet redhead
Who sang lullabies in bed
When I had a little drink
When I had a little drink
[Bridge]
It traumatized me when you left
That perfect pitch, your skin, your scent
Everything I loved has gone
Jack won’t bring back you or your songs
[Chorus:]
When I had a little drink
As my tears appeared, I’d think
About my gentle sweet redhead
Who sang lullabies in bed
When I had a little drink
When I had a little drink
La la la la la la la la la la la la oh

SO HARD TO LET YOU GO
If you want, we’ll take our usual spot
Steal some chairs and order drinks
I sit and listen, but I don’t hear a word
My mind wrestles bigger things
I’m, wonderin’ which words I should use next
To tell you that this time we’re through
I practiced all day in a mirror
But the face there wasn’t you
Chorus:
I can’t say “don’t cry”
You wouldn’t listen if I tried
Though I said I loved you, I didn’t know,
It would be this hard to let you go
I can’t bear this atmosphere no more
I’m confused, I can’t breathe
I’m trying so hard now to cut you loose
You won’t ever be pleased with me
OR: ALTERNATIVE VERSE:
Cry if you must, but don’t miss your bus
One day you’ll see why I am right
Why I won’t be asking you home
And why we’ll be alone tonight
Chorus
Bridge:
My mind’s made up, wrong or right
This has to end tonight
Tonight ------
Chorus X2
Oh Hun, you make it hard to let you go OR: Oh baby, it's so damned hard to let you go

I WON'T CALL THE COPS
(Written by GK Menage)
I don't deserve this treatment
To be torn up, lied about
You took almost everything
That I could not nail down
Like my sanity, my money
Stole my music too
Now you sit on my doorstep
Like something off my shoe...yeah!
Chorus #1:
You stole my heart, my dog and all my love
Left nothing but fingerprints on all my stuff
You say you wanna talk,
But see, I changed my locks
Go now and
I WON'T CALL THE COPS
I'm a trash can of emotions
I've been torched and overturned
Your empty heart made me run
From your flame that left me burned
Now you cannot hurt me
I found a better place
Far from my vandalized life
Today I'm feelin' safe
Chorus #2:
You stole my heart, my bike and all my love
Left nothing but fingerprints on all my stuff
I need a change from you
And I went and changed my locks
Go now and I WON'T CALL THE COPS
Bridge:
I'm not huntin' for revenge
Just want you out of my hair
Go online, check your status
We've got no lives to share, to share ..yeah!
Rpt Chorus#1

SHOT IN THE DARK
I don’t believe it, guns again, splattered over the news
More crazy martyrs fed on hate, medicines and booze
After bullets slay friends at school, kids and teachers huddle up
Outside, under flashing lights policemen weep and parents hug
Chorus:
Hey, it’s a shot in the dark, but I’m askin’ where’s it end, my friend?
My TV shoots fiery darts, man, I'm sleepin’ in the lions den
I'd love to keep my beating heart but I see sharks
Nothing left so I'll take my chance
And cry my shot in the dark
Lives are spent, then talking heads fill the holes with words and air
All God’s good work gone for nothing here’s a chance to show they care
“If I see another gun totin’ Doc Holliday, where our children play
I’ll tell you what I think - all of us should take the blame (oh yeah)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Each day without some changes means another child lies dead
Look, another loser waving guns, wonder what’s inside his head
Chorus #2:
It’s a shot in the dark - I wanna know where will it end?
TV shoots fiery darts, man, I'm sleeping in the lions den
A simple question, a simple spark
That’ll fan the flames like Joan of Ark
There's nothin' left so I take my chance
And cry my shot in the dark --- END ---

SMOKEY OLD NEW ORLEANS BAR
In a smokey old bar, I found a seat
Been traveling for days, thirsty and beat
Over my glass, I saw your face
You swear you were not amazed
But Cupid or God were sure to impress
Me unshaved, and you in that summer dress
I was far from home, you were alone,
Someone above knew it’s gonna be a success.....
Chorus: Ma said “you never find a wife in a bar”,
But I turn my head and there you are,
Seemed like we’d met along time back
Like we were rollin’ together on a railroad track
I knew why I had come so far,
To this Smokey old New Orleans bar....
Man, the bar lit up, when you smiled at me,
Thought the moon had floated over Bourbon Street
You weren’t looking for me, but there I was
And I don’t recall who began our talk
I swear there was something ‘bout the way you
Shook your hair loose, I was hooked,
Around two o’clock, the floor got mopped
My heart beatin’ like it would never stop.
CHORUS
We got married in 2003, survived Katrina and crushed levees Our bar’s disappeared, but you’re still here, Pouring my best beer for me.

MIAMI MANDEE
Oh oh, I I, miss my my, Miami Mandee
Miami Mandee,
She walked like like a pony
She talked like she’d know me
Her skin hot like rocket fuel
Her big eyes like brown suns
Saw me sad down and done
Her words so cool,
Like a summer pool
Pre:
A radio playedeod in the park
Mandee stole my hand and we danced ‘till dark
I felt the heat of the beat of the latin song,
Our feet were on fire, our hearts sang along
Chorus:
Oh oh, I, I, miss my my, Miami Mandee
Miami Mandee
Me in paradise,
She was too much for this guy
Whose still shy but dated a few
Her songs from her homeland
Romantic, like warm sand
I prayed that she
Stayed with me
[Repeat Pre & Chorus section]
Bridge:
So Mandee’s met an hombre new
Here at our rendezvous
She said “Go see Luna lounging in the park
By the stolen shopping carts
She likes what she sees
Don’t stroke her Havanese!”

WIFE IN A BAR
In a smoky old bar, I found a seat
Been travelin’ for days, thirsty and beat
Over my glass, I saw your face
You say at first, you weren’t amazed
But Cupid or God were sure to impress
Me unshaved, and you in that summer dress
I was far from home, you were alone,
Someone above knew it’s gonna be a success.....
[Chorus]
Ma said “you never find a wife in a bar”,
But I saw you and said, “there you are!”,
As if me and you met long time back
Then joined like stars in the zodiac
Who knew I’d find by chance...my
Wife in a bar....
Man, the bar lit up, when you smiled at me,
Thought the moon had floated over Bourbon Street
You weren’t looking for me, but there I was
We weren’t gamblers, yet we beat the odds
I swear there was something ‘bout the way you looked
Shook your hair loose, I was hooked,
Around two o’clock, when we walked out
My heart beatin’ like it would never stop.
REPEAT CHORUS
We got married in 2003, survived Katrina and crushed levees
Our bar’s disappeared, but you’re still here,
Smilin’ and givin’ me my beer

SCATTER MY ASHES THROUGH HOOTERS
Well kids, I guess it’s come to this
Time to grant me my one final wish
You’re sad, but don’t forget I asked
When I’m gone, please do me one task..
Don’t toss me out in the family plot
Or stick me on your mantelpiece forgot in a box
Or under a bed or in a helium balloon
I’m gonna float free in spirit and settle in your whisky too..
Chorus:
Scatter my ashes in Hooters
Say a prayer as I waft through the air
Get my cute young thing to bring you a wing
As you scatter my ashes through Hooters
Thank that girl, for making my last days worthwhile
She’s has the enormous.. owl and smile
She treated me so sweet and well mannered
Was I maybe enamored, or only hammered?
Tell her to sing “Simply The Best”
I’ll be sad once she’s brushed me off her chest
Have a buffalo chicken and an American beer
And remember I was once happy here
(Rpt CHORUS)

ROSIE MY BBQ QUEEN
V1
You look perfect in that sunset colored light
Hot behind the grill you’re cooking tonight
You’re a God given spectacle, my diva of the pit
Through blue smoke, you’re turnin’ that glistening spit
[Chorus]
Ro Ro Rosie, Ro Ro Rosie
Ro Ro Rosie, you’re my Tennessee barbeque queen
You dance and you cook like a dream
You’re my Tennesee BBQ queen
V2
Girl, I’m gonna love you till I die
The heels on your boots are dangerously high
Big red sun lies where sky and mountains meet
Your ribs melted in my mouth, your sauce was sweet
Rpt Chorus
V3
Time to put the grill out and grow new flames of our own
Grab a brewski from the cooler to the room where we’ll be alone
When I lay you down and things get low and slow
Your skin will sizzle like chillies, your smoky eyes will glow
[Bridge]
Lets fire up the embers of our love
Under these twinkling stars, just the two of us
Rpt Chorus
You’re my Tennessee BBQ queen
You dance and you cook like a dream --- END ---

JESUS IN THE GLOVEBOX #4
V1:
I put Jesus in the glovebox, he doesn’t need to know
Why I’m crying like a baby on this unknown road
Truck is goin’ down hill, I’m starin’ in reverse
Why, if I love my woman, did I fall for someone else?
I love my wife back West, I’m truly blessed
That’s why I put -
CH:
Jesus in the glovebox, so I won’t see
His disapproving looks he keeps giving me
All this guilt he made feel as I cry behind this wheel, so I put
Jesus in the glovebox, he doesn’t need to see .....
V2:
One look became a flame and I let it start a fire
I never was a cheater, I never was a liar
It started just as friends, yes, I should have walked away
Like an automobile accident, it just happened one day
And the mark on the dash where he stood reminds me
That’s why I put..
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Bridge:
That statuette of Jesus showed me my feet of clay
Should I put him back in front of me to help me find my way?
Oh oh oh oh... I put

LONELY MOTEL ROOM

Somehow I’m not feeling He’s the one I want tonight
Got a gig here for half a year but someone’s playing on my mind
Someone who loves me more than fish God, I miss you, here in my

Lonely motel room (Lonely motel room)
Like a tomb with no view (Lonely motel room) It’s a fact, I’m missing my cat
Here in my lonely motel room

You can’t exactly talk but I understand your gentle mews
And after every gig, I’m back to this room for dinner
But I’d give anything to be snuggled up with you, in a

I take rain checks on all the parties, my friends all think I’m nuts
But nothing beats an evening on the laptop screen with only us
I played the band a love song I wrote for you today
They said it was a little cheesy -- but we’ll record it anyway

Couldn’t get a hotel taking pets,
How I hate this feeling
Knowing someone else looks after you, While I’m looking at this ceiling in my

It would be beautiful with you
In my lonely, lonely motel room Lonely motel room,

CLEMENTINE
Verse 1
An angel at the feet of someone by me on Southwest
A golden dog called Clementine, I saw it on her vest
She took one look at me, sensing I don’t like to fly
Came over to me gently, and looked me in the eyes
Chorus:
Clementine was in my head
Calming me down, with big brown eyes
I wish as I fly through my life,
I could find a Clementine
Verse 2
Clementine, she told me, “even artichokes have hearts
“Every day’s a new beginning” she cheerfully barked
I saw how her owner’s sanity rests in gilded paws
I watched Clementine guide her out through the cabin door
[Repeat Chorus]
Bridge:
How could a dog know what to say,
To encourage someone like me to have faith
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah, I wish, as I fly through my life I could find a Clementine --- END ---

MR CHESTER (I LOVE YOU)
[V1]
You are my angel, you are my handsome man
Your eyes of hazel that always understand
It’s hard to leave the magic of your wonderland
I love you
[V2]
Thank God another busy day at work is done
And now it’s time for you and me, my ball of fun
I’ll pick a movie but first I’ll take you for a run
I love you
Despite your accidents
I love you
You’re the best
[Chorus1]
Mr Chester you’re so cute
In your black and white fur suit
There’ll never be a substitute
I love you

C’mon shorty, bring your body here now scoot up close
Even though I’m gonna get your hair all on my clothes
It’s time I put ‘em in the wash now, I suppose.
I love you
Mr Chester
I love you
Though we owe the vets

Mr Chester you’re so cute
In your black and white fur suit
There’ll never be a substitute
Without you, my heart’s destitute
I love you

For goodness sake just settle down and close your eyes
Just try to rest your little head down by my side
Until it’s time to wake up when the sun’s up in the sky

LOVE IS A PUZZLE
Ooh la la, ooh la la la, heartache in Brussels
Ooh la la, ooh la la la, love is a puzzle
Something follows my ex around
Not only guys, and women’s frowns
Something sultry, something French
A colorful cloud of foreign scents
Ooh la la, ooh la la la, heartache in Brussels
Ooh la la, ooh la la la, love is a puzzle
I got keys to her fancy car
I moved in above her bistro bar
She said, “bonjour”, but her eyes said more
No “au revoir” as she floated out the door
Ooh la la, ooh la la la, heartache in Brussels
Ooh la la, ooh la la la, love is a puzzle
I recall something small she called “amour”
Ooh la la, ooh la la la, heartache in Brussels
On our dates, she would take control
Once I’d satisfied her soul
She was my my gallic Taylor Swift
She’d say, “relax, enjoy, it’s a gift”
Ooh la la ooh la la la, Ooh la la ooh la la la,
Ooh la la, ooh la la la Ooh la la, ooh la la la
I’m just a man, but her coq-au-vin was the best I ever had
Ooh la la, ooh la la, oh, love is a puzzle
Ooh la la, ooh la la la, Ooh la la, ooh la la la,
Ooh la la, ooh la la la
Love is a puzzle --- END ---

WALK ON EGGSHELLS
V1
It’s gonna be another day
When I don’t know what to say
Didn’t mean to ignite gasoline, a spark lit it anyway
Talkin’ in circles, off the rails,
Chasing words like puppies chasin’ tails
I’m playin’ checkerboard blind, high on a mountain trail
[Chorus]:
Don’t make me walk on eggshells no more
I’ll tiptoe til I’m sore across your floor no more
Not gonna walk on eggshells no more
V2
A question gets another one,
I try and answer but I get it wrong
It’s like murder when one word torments you for so long
Without you I don’t have a clue
Playin’ on thin ice till I fall through?
My mouth is mine but Baby, my heart belongs to you
[Rpt Chorus]
V3
Just when I think I’ve nailed this curse,
All I did was make things worse
So I grab some red and on the deck, try to figure why this hurts
We’re like a team learning to sail,
Stuck together in frozen hail
So much in love, so many reasons why we’ll never fail
BRIDGE:
We promised each other we’d be together, forever
We’ll get through this, whatever the weather…
(Repeat CHORUS)
Not gonna walk on eggshells no more...

SING A SONG FOR SANTA
Intro (Chorus):
Sing a song for Santa, girls and boys (la la la)
Come on, send him joy and make— some noise
V1
Where Santa lives, he’s busy working hard, he’s
Feeding all his reindeer in his snowy yard, then,
He’ll look at every children’s letter before he goes to bed
Millions and millions, and he knows what each one said.
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
V2
Santa checks his magic sleigh, and sets the GPS
From shelves, his elves are wrapping toys they made for us
Santa say’s, if you don’t have a chimney
Just leave a door ajar with milk and two cookies ---- (yeah!)
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
[Rpt CHORUS]
On December 25th, children wake and say:

By the time they’re opened, Santa’s home with a cup of tea! Yeah!
Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho

UNFORGETTABLE FACE
[V1]
My pool is my refuge, I think about you
How I let you leave when you said we were through
You went back north, now the days, they drag on
It’s crazy but I see your eyes all day long
Blue sky’s gone gray
Since you went away ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
[Chorus:]
Your unforgettable face
Your smiling eyes all over my place
Every day, all I do is see your
Unforgettable face
[V2]
Come home and relax on the deck of my yacht
You're chilled to the bone, more often than not
Bring back your high cheeks and your sun tanned skin
I'll kiss those lips above that beautiful chin
Blue skies gone gray
Since you went away ay ay ay ay ay ay ay
[Chorus #2]:
Your unforgettable face
Your smiling eyes all over my place
Every day, I want to embrace your
Unforgettable face

The heart that you drew on my window pane
Reminds me of you— whenever it rains
It never went away ay ay ay ay ay ay ay

Your unforgettable face
Your smiling eyes all over my place
Every day, there's always a trace of
Unforgettable face --- END ---

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SUNSET
I'm watching movies of you and me
We loved the beach, we loved that night
Stayed and saw the sun sink under the sea
We saw the moon and all the stars, they burned so bright
[Chorus]:
Another beautiful sunset
But I'm so cold and all alone
Without you Darling, I'll never know
Another beautiful sunset
The bedroom’s getting dark, I can faintly see
Dying sunlight on my band of gold
Our picture perfect life, now a memory
Without you, a pretty sky, it gets so old
[Bridge]:
I close my eyes and you’re back in my arms
You kiss my lips and your smile is warm

No need to carry torches anymore
Love underground, we kept our

Sunshine will show the way
Dark clouds fade away

WITH A LITTLE BIT OF ELTON JOHN
V1
Those were the days, as I was growing up
My big brother picked me up
Singing YOUR SONG was where it all began
Ron swung me like I was a ROCKET MAN
V2
Ron took me camping in a STOLEN CAR
Helped with homework, (he) taught me guitar
Drove me downtown to see Elton live
Prayed he’d never finish his encore, GOODBYE

If HONKEY CAT can make you high
And SAD SONGS can make you cry
There’s only one piano player’s songs that fit the bill
You can’t go wrong” say’s my brother Ron
With a little bit of Elton John”
La la la la la, La la la la la, La la la la la la

Leaving me singing ELDERBERRY WINE
Say’s his TINY DANCER is a corker
He’s a MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER

In my head and my heart on my life’s journey

3 LITTLE WORDS
Chorus:
Three little words
“thinking of you”
Three little words
Say “I love you” ——-
V1
You’ll call me and say you love me
When you take a break at work
And last night, you softly whispered
Like gentle winds over the sea
V2
The hardest words come easily
The shortest note in the world
Cause you’re always there for me
Baby!, you’re a beautiful bird (oh oh, oh oh)
[Repeat Chorus]
V3
You’re funny, light and strong and free
Like morning sun shining through
Leaves of an Amazon tree
I’m happy and alive with you
[Repeat Chorus]

I’m hoping the note I wrote got through
It’s no scam or spam, it’s just true——-
"Thinking of you!” ————

30 THOUSAND FEET
V1
In the sky I’m floating, high above the clouds
Get this weird sensation as if you’re all around
I seem to fly so often, can’t wait to be here
It’s like your bright eyes never dimmed and you feel so near

At 30 thousand feet I know I’m close to you
Closer to the moon and next to Heaven
At 30 thousand feet, with your breath upon my cheek
And your star will shine for me, forever….
Forever…

If I could stay a little longer, you know that I would
Nothing makes me happier, being near you feels so good
Sitting here wishing I could kiss you one more time
You’re my little angel - that’s why I love to fly…..

[Tag]:
At 30 thousand feet I feel you close to me….
Forever…. --- END ---

HIS SPIRIT'S HERE
V1
There’s presence here that I need
The Memphis Flash is greeting me
There, on his perfect lawn
The King has not gone
PRE #1:
In my mind’s eye I see him
Diamond rings, precious hands
Shining in the Memphis sun
In his gardens at Graceland —-

Singing passionate and true
Let emotions and his words

Looking cool in Lansky clothes
His magic’s why I came
To this alter of his fame

I take selfies by the message wall then stand beside his waterfall
So much to see and feel and love…
[Repeat CHORUS]
His spirit’s here
The King is here --- END ---

JESUS IN THE GLOVEBOX
(Written by GK Menage)
V1: My tires, beat the road, like the thumpin’ in my chest,
And looking down at me is a plastic statuette.
While I drive away from my past, like the wind
He’s telling me I’m committing a sin,
Ch: If I put JESUS IN THE GLOVEBOX, he'll be out of sight
With JESUS IN THE GLOVEBOX, he'll still make me do right
No matter where I hide him, my guilt rips me apart,
With Jesus in the glovebox, he’ll still be in my heart
V2: Someone that I’ve left, is expecting me home soon
They don’t have a clue, and I know what I should do
And this Saviour on the dash board, he just looks at me
As if his painted eyes could see
(CHORUS)
Br: If the Judge is just a statue, then why am I turning around?
If I don’t believe he has the power, what’s making me go home now?
(CHORUS) --- END ---

LOVERS UNDERCOVER
V1
Knowing looks in a public place
Fingers brush as we walk away
Translating our sign language of romance
No one at work can see us kiss
You’re the boss, we’d be dismissed
So secret smiles are shared through office glass
[Chorus]:
We are lovers under cover
Rendezvous in rooms with plastic keys
Just two lovers under cover
No one around can hear us wild and free
V2
Close the curtains, open the Beaujolais
You look so lovely in your Versace
We keep delicious secrets, you and me
Seen you all week but I’ve missed you
These hotel sheets can’t resist you
Let’s try analyzing all our dreams
[Repeat Chorus]
We’re lovers undercover
[Bridge]:
We are agents in the CIA
We whisper things we cannot say
Feeling safe here in shadows, for a while, for a while
[Repeat Chorus]
Tag: We’re lovers undercover..
Lovers undercover
Lovers undercover --- END ---

MAYBE I'M AN UGLY MUTT
Daddy was a Heinz 57, Mummy’s looks excluded her from Heaven
So, no one ever stops and says I’m cute
You rescued me, you took me home, but now I’ve gotten jealous to the bone
Cause you don’t stroke me like you used to.
You've gone and got a cat, I see, when I'm the only furry friend you need
[Chorus:]
Maybe I'm an ugly mutt, but I love you
Though my head is full of bumps
Fur falling out in clumps is quite alarming
Maybe I’m an ugly mutt, but I love you
You complain you can’t hear yourself talking, I maintain barking helps me walking
But I’ve stopped humping cushions while you’re out,
I’m one old dog who don’t drool yet, no fancy check ups at the vet
‘Cept when I eat too much brussels sprouts
Least I don’t go meow meow and scratch your furniture, and how!
Maybe I'm an ugly mutt, but I love you
Though my head is full of bumps
Fur falling out in clumps is quite alarming
Maybe I’m an ugly mutt, but I love you
[Bridge:]
Stop! What’s that? We’ve lost the cat?
Have my dreams just come to pass?
The top floor window’s left ajar?
Life’s a bitch and God’s a dog, Haha ha ha!
(Chorus#2)
Maybe I'm an ugly mutt, but I love you
Though my head is full of bumps
Fur falling out in clumps is quite alarming
Maybe I’m an ugly mutt, but I love you
Maybe I’m an ugly mutt, but I love you. --- END ---

I loved the carnation you wore on our date
We got engaged amid lilacs perfume
My forget-me-nots said, “yes, yes. I do”….

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The power of flowers say, “I LOVE YOU”

We’ve beautiful children called Lily and Sage
In a house full of fragrance and color and sun
Happy forever surrounded by love
[Repeat Chorus]

They bring out the grace in our souls and our happiness

With the power of flowers --- END ---

[V1]
I’m happy you called me up
To tell me that you’ve been down
I can make you feel safe and sound

You’re welcome any time you like

I can fix your heart, make it sing out loud
