Grasshopper sitting on a railroad track
Sing Tunafish and Noodles all the day
Going to Moline to find a cash machine
Singing Tunafish and noodles all the day.
When the ice comes and the snow and it’s twenty-eight below
And then the temperature begins to fall
And they hear the moan and whine of that frozen water line
Then the plumber is the man who saves them all.
Everywhere I go in the city of New York
I think of you
Every Broadway show, the rink in Central Park,
Fifth Avenue
I stood around on New Year’s Eve
And drank a Chardonnay
And wished that I were somewhere
Long ago and far away.
Dear naked ladies
Up in the air
Beautiful naked gurals
Joining to make the murals
I love your hair
I go to church every Sunday morn
I’ve been going since I was born
Starting to think there’s something I missed
By being a Methodist.
I got the Methodist blues.
Been going to church since I was a boy
Now I’m old and I’m low on joy
I feel tired, is there something I missed?
Or is it just that I’m Methodist?
I got the Methodist blues.
She was very old, our old dame,
Our cat, 17, Meiko was her name.
On Friday she was not herself at all.
Saturday night in Cincinnati
Cindy and I went downtown
Left the kids with her mom and daddy
Looking for a little time alone.
Oh where shall we live IF we move to the Bay
A little ranch house in San Jose?
My old hippie cousin Kathleen says
There’s only one place, and that’s Point Reyes.
