SALUD

Here’s to you my good old friends
You suffered and toiled throughout your lives
While I was resting in my bed
Waiting for the sun to shine

So raise your glasses, bold them high
You can say good-bye to sorrow and pain
Sit down, relax and take your time
Tomorrow is another day

The earth is flat and the moon is a cheese
What you see is what you get
All you got to say is please
It’s the only magic word you need

Here’s to you my good old friend
My stars, my earth, my rainbow’s end
My life, my reason, my sun and moon
My devils, my angels, professors and fools

Through darkness, ice and snow you came
To find me sitting by the fireside
I was cozy, I was warm
Turning the water into wine

So raise your glasses, bold them high
You suffered and toiled throughout your lives
While I was resting in my bed
Waiting for the sun to shine

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

I was watching my watch
I was looking at the clock
Time was a wrigleys
I was grinding my teeth
I was soaked by rain
I was hit hard by hail
Sometimes I wonder
How foolish one can be

I picked up the phone
All I got was a busy line
When I finally got through to you
I called you a fool
Or something worse
I can’t remember what I said
It doesn’t really matter anyhow
You might as well be dead

I got no time to wait for you
I got so many other things to do

You may not know it
But I keep calling you names
Just who do you think you are
To leave me standing in the rain
Oh I won’t wait for you
Forever and a day
I won’t accept your apology
Whatever you may say

8TH OF MAY

Now the battle is over
and the battle was lost
I can’t recall how many rivers we crossed
So many friends, they’ve been and gone
Left in the trenches, just mud and bones

I’m tired of fighting, I’m tired of death
For country and glory to hell we went
We were made to believe so many lies
Paid with our souls, paid with our lives

Black ravens painted on a blood red sky
The treasures promised I never did find
My empty heart is as heavy as lead
So many gone, so many dead


NO IFS AND BUTS Give my love to the woman I left in Reno Give my love to the woman I knew so long ago If she’s alone again don’t tell her I told her so Give her all my love Give her all my love Give my regrets to the ones I dissapointed My best wishes to the ones who never made it Tell everybody everything is coming up roses Give them all my love Give them all my love Remember me as I once was No ifs and buts and no because A foolish heart – a brilliant mind Slowly running out of time Feed the hungry, serve drinks to the thristy Built shelter for the homeless give to the needy Find out for me if there really is a higher being Give him all my love Give him all my love	LAST LAUGH She was so good to me I gave her everything I had Now she’s gone and left me Made me feel so sad Can’t keep from crying I just can’t keep from crying My baby’s gone and left me And I just can’t keep from crying She was a real cracker I tell you she was hot For what she’s done to me In hell she must rot Can’t keep from crying… I just can’t keep from crying My baby’s gone and left me And I just can’t keep from crying I knew she had another man Before she even told me I could smell his after-shave All over her body Can’t keep from crying…. I just can’t keep from crying My baby’s gone and left me And I just can’t keep from crying Now I hear this man he beats her up beats her black and blue chases her around the house makes her look a fool Can’t keep from laughing I just can’t keep from laughing my baby’s gone and left me and I just can’t keep from laughing	PEANUTS The music really hit me back in ‘63 I knew exactly then what I was going to be I told my mama “gonna be a star” She looked at me and said You’ll never get very far Hey Mama I’ll be a millionaire Hey Mama look at me here I am Still working for peanuts Daddy said you better get a decent job He never understood what there is about Rock So I didn’ t listen to a single word he said Went out to play and paint the town red Hey Daddy…. I’ll be a millionaire Hey Daddy look at me here I am Still working for peanuts I got a full time job now from 9 to 5 It keeps me going it’s enough to survive But every now and then it all comes back to me And I sit and I think of how it could have been Hey children… I’ll be a millionaire Hey children look at me here I am Still working for peanuts


MY SECRET THOUGHTS Don’t want you to know my secret thoughts inside my little head So well hidden away You’re so famous such a well-known cat I’m a zero just one of the lads My lips are sealed You got to appreciate I can’t tell you anything Cause I’m in love My longues are black so is my soul blood pressures up brain function low My hungry eyes keep watching you my private demon is crazy ‘bout you too My lips are sealed You got to appreciate I can’t tell you anything Cause I’m in love	I NEED A SHOT Well I woke up in the morning just like a black man when he’s got the blues I kept searching high and low But I couldn’t find my brand-new boots Guess I had a few too many Of what happened I just haven’t got a clue When the shit hit the fan Someone must have bought a gallon of booze I need a shot of Whiskey or Gin To make me feel Human again I need a shot Won’t someone come to my assistance before I have to give up and die Got a headache and my stomach is full of flaming butterflies Oh I promise that if I survive I never touch another drop In the meantime will you be so kind And give me just a little wee shot I need a shot of Whiskey or Gin To make me feel Human again I need a shot	ROSES LIKE YOU It takes feces to grow roses To grow roses just like you It takes feces to grow roses To grow roses just like you I just don’t know what makes you think You’re better than the rest And what makes you so self-assured I can only guess It takes feces to grow roses To grow roses just like you It takes feces to grow roses To grow roses just like you I wonder if you’ll ever change Your high-brow attitude The way you speak you call it direct I just call it rude It takes feces to grow roses To grow roses just like you It takes feces to grow roses To grow roses just like you Oh my thumb it used to be green Now it’s brown-can’t you see It takes feces to grow roses To grow roses just like you Roses just like you

FINE TIME

I’m having a fine time since you left me
I’m having a fine time since you’re gone
I’m having a fine time since you left me
I’m having a fine time since you’re gone

It was a loveless love
From a heartless heart
You hated me right from the start
With an angel’s face and a heart of steel
You broke every promise
that you ever gave to me

I’m having a fine time since you left me
I’m having a fine time since you’re gone
I’m having a fine time since you left me
I’m having a fine time since you’re gone

I saw your sister weep
And your mama cry
Heard your daddy moan
And your brother sigh
The dogs did bark
And the cats did scream
You broke every promise
That you ever gave to me

I’m having a fine time since you left me
I’m having a fine time since you’re gone
I’m having a fine time since you left me
I’m having a fine time since you’re gone

SHE’S GOOD NEWS

She’s so easy on the eye
she’s dripdry
She’s not living
in a fool’s paradise
She isn’t hard-boiled
Not just a flash in the pan
We’re hand in glove
I think it’s love
She’s good news

She’ll never leave me
up a gum-tree
She’ll never ever
seem greek to me
She’s got what it takes
Knows the trick of the trades
We’re hand in glove
I think it’s love

She’s good news – fair weather
A place in the sun
A dream, a pleasure
And absolute fun
She’s good news

She’s good news

CHEMICAL REACTION

I can hear you loud and clear
But I don’t understand
Cause you’re a woman
And I’m a man
It’s in the books
The wise men know
When you say stop
Then you mean go

I’m freezing cold
You’re burning hot
I say you’re welcome
You say thanks a lot
What makes me laugh
Just makes you cry
You know it all
And I wonder why

It’s a chemical reaction
You call it love
It’s a chemical reaction
And you call it love

You say that you love me
And that I don’t love you
I don’t know nothing
You know the truth
Your word is gospel
I’m just a liar
When you are water
Then I am fire

It’s a chemical reaction
You call it love
It’s a chemical reaction
And you call it love

COCO LOCO

I was hit on the head by a coconut
When I came to
I was under shock
Ten stitches by a doctor
who smiled at me:
You’ll never be the same
This I can guarantee

Coco Loco
Coco Loco Coco

Coconuts grow on a tree so high
When they fall down
they can make you cry
Plums and apples
and cherries, too
will never do any harm to you

Coco Loco
Coco Loco Coco

YOU HEARD THE LAST OF ME

You heard the last
you heard the last of me
Oh baby you heard the last of me
I’m gonna hit the road
and set you free
Ain’t gonna waste
no more time on you
I ain’t gonna waste
no more time on you
This is final
I want you to know we’re through

You’re not gonna hurt me no more
Oh baby you’re not gonna hurt me no more
I’m gonna leave you baby
and walk right out of that door

You heard the last
you heard the last of me
Oh baby you heard the last of me
I’m gonna hit the road
and set you free
