STUCK ON YOU © Patsy Amico
I told you once and I'm tellin you twice
That my loves gonna stick on you
Specially the days you're lonesome and your blue
Like a piece of duct tape on a window pane
Or the red hot tracks carryin' railroad trains
My love will always stick on you
stuck on you (sweet gold honey)
stuck on you (something funny)
stuck on you (tickle my tummy)
stuck on you (a soft white bunny)
So when the sun don't shine
And the rain pours down
And your happy little life turns upside down
Just remember my love's stuck on you
stuck on you (sweet gold honey)
stuck on you (something funny)
stuck on you (tickle my tummy)
stuck on you (a soft white bunny)
I told you once and I'm tellin you twice
That my loves gonna stick on you
Specially the days you're lonesome and your blue
Like a piece of duct tape on a window pane
Or the red hot tracks carryin' railroad trains
My love will always stick on you
stuck on you (sweet gold honey)
stuck on you (something funny)
stuck on you (tickle my tummy)
stuck on you (a soft white bunny)........................................................(back to titles)
WHEEL OF LIFE © Sue Bowering
In the middle of springtime, in the middle of fall
In the middle of winter, in the middle of it all
In the middle of fortune, in the middle of pain
If we're going to fall, we're going to rise again
And the wheel of life is turning and turning
And the lite of the fire is burning and burning
And when one gets lost you know we're gonna find him
Be kind to him remind him that life goes on
If we're havin a hard time, it won't be long
Before the wheel of life swings round again and sings a sweeter song
If it's all gone all wrong, it got wet in the rain
We know the sun will dry it off again
And the wheel of life is turning and turning
And the lite of the fire is burning and burning
And when one gets lost you know we're gonna find him
Be kind to him remind him that life goes on
So we muddle in the meantime, singing a simple song
If the tune is merry, we'll be singing along
We are forever, forever is where we're from
Singing the new song all the way home
And the wheel of life is turning and turning
And the lite of the fire is burning and burning
And when one gets lost you know we're gonna find him
Well I wish I was a cowgirl, I'd ride horses all day long
Down those country roads, singin' country songs
But I'm just a city girl, livin' in this busy world
Dreamin' about livin' country style
Country style (it's the good life)
Country style (it's the best life)
Country style (it's the good life)
Country style (it's the best life)
Well I'd wake up in the mornin', before the crack of dawn
Listenin' to those birds, sing those pretty songs
Then I'd go down to my barn, I'd milk a cow or two
Gather up some eggs, cook breakfast for you
(kazoo)
Well I remember those old days, my Grampa used to say
If you don't know north from south, It'll be hard to find you're way
So I guess to be a city girl, is simply okay
But in my mind I've gone the country way
Country style (it's the good life)
Country style (it's the best life)
Country style (it's the good life)
Country style (it's the best life).................................................................(back to titles)
THE LOVE BUG © Wayne Kemp
Oh that little bitty tiny weeny thing they call the love bug
Nobody's ever seen it but it's got the whole world shook up.
It all started with a little bitty kiss and a hug
It's that little bitty tiny weeny thing they call the love bug
Well I was ruling the roost and I had all the chicks to myself.
And suddenly it happened a funny little feeling I felt.
Yah I tried to out run it but it finally caught up to me
Ah but how could I run from something that I can't see
chorus
Well I always thought that I had me a pretty good style
But I lost that race by a country mile
I was walking around with my head all the way up high
Then it fooled me hit me really took me by surprise
chorus
Well I was traveling down the road with my family in the car
singing bop bop do do do bop bop

FREE TO BE YOU AND ME © Patsy Amico / Lyrics © Mario Thomas
There's a land that I see where the birdies are so free
And I say it ain't far to this land from where we are
Take my wing fly with me, where the birdies are so free
Come with me take my wing, livin happily
chorus:
In a land where the river runs free
In a land through the great green country
In a land and the deep shining sea
In a land where the birdies fly free
You and me free to be, you and me
I see a land bright and clear and the time is coming near
When we'll live near a spring you and me wing in wing
Take my heart fly along, lend your voice to my song
Fly along take my wing sing a song, sing along
chorus (for a land)
Every boy in this land, grows up proud to take his stand
Every girl in the end grows up strong to be your friend
Take my wing fly with me, where the birdies are so free
Fly with me take my wing, we'll fly high and we'll sing
chorus (to a land)
Life ain't always a bed of roses , sometimes it's just so tough
Tryin to keep up with mr.jones, when the money just ain't enough
We work so hard each night and day just to try and get ahead
When the sun sets down were aching tired and its time to go to bed
chorus:
Have a little faith (have a little faith) have a little faith with all your pain
Have a little hope (have a little hope) a little hope will keep you sane
Give a little smile (give a little smile) a little laugh will do you well
Cause life's to short, life's to short and you never know when it will end
Well me and my baby been fightin', god it feels like a hundred days
And I'm not sure what the problem is
Well I guess were stuck in our stubborn ways
Well I know deep down he loves me, god I know I love him too
Lord give us strength, give us strength and help us see it through
chorus.................................................................(back to titles)
BAD LITTLE MONKEY © RANDY SMALLMAN
chorus:
I'm a bad little monkey yes I know it's true
I'm a bad little monkey thru and thru
I'm a bad little monkey and I don't know what to do
I'm a bad little monkey gonna come and pester you
Gonna jump on your head and mess up your hair
And when your face turns red, I'm gonna leap into the air
You know I'm gonna break some stuff where ever I happen to land
Bein' a monkey can be rough, I'm doing the best I can
chorus
Gonna stick my fingers in your ear if I get the chance
Smack you right on the rear and then pull down your pants
Gonna pull on your nose every time that I can
That's the way it goes when you're a bad little monkey like I am
chorus
kazoo
Gonna stretch your mouth open wide just so I can look inside
Try to poke you in the eye then I'll run away and hide
I don't mean you any harm and I don't want to offend
I'm just a bad little monkey who wants to be your friend
chorus 2x
you're a bad little monkey (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
you're a bad little monkey (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
you're a bad little monkey (ooh ooh ooh ooh)
we are bad little monkeys that's true..................(back to titles)
The time has come for us to see where we are going where we will be
Always wonderin' why we are here, livin' in a world of sickness and fear
chorus:
'Cause it ain't gonna be that easy
No it ain't gonna be that easy for peace and love
Follow your grandparent's dreams of work and family and a land so free
The hopes and thoughts of unity, will only happen when we can see
chorus
interlude
Teach your kids love and respect
Pass down that honesty don't let them forget
To love your neighbor the best that you can
Treat everyone equal it's good for the land
chorus.......................................................................(back to titles)
GOODBYE SONG © Patsy Amico
Goodbye farewell it's really been a slice
Goodbye farewell it's really been a slice
You've made us feel so happy and so nice
You've made us feel so happy and so nice
And when the sun shines in the morning
Wake up and sing yourself a tune
'Cause we've been thinking about you
And hopefully we'll see you real darn soon.
(jokes)
(now everybody sing it with me)

(bye bye now)
Yeah hopefully we see you real darn soon
(take care)
Yeah hopefully we'll see you real darn soon
(we love you)
Yeah hopefully we'll see you real darn soon
(goodbye !!!!!!!) ........................................................(back to titles)
