And when God gave out rhythm
He sure was good to you You can add, subtract, multiply. And divide by two I know today's your birthday And I did not buy no rose But I wrote this song instead and I call it: Popsicle Toes Popsicle Toes, Popsicle Toes are always froze Popsicle Toes, You're so brave to expose all those Popsicle Toes You must have been Miss Pennsylvania With all this pulchritude, How come you always load your Pentax When I'm in the nude? We ought to have a birthday party And you can wear your birthday clothes, Then we can hit the floor and go explore those Popsicle Toes You got the nicest North America This sailor ever saw- I like to feel your warm Brazil And touch your Panama But your Tierra del Fuegos Are nearly always froze- We gotta see-saw until we unthaw those Popsicle Toes |

Whenever I explore the land of Yin
I always take one on the chin And now this lioness has almost made me tame I can't pronounce her name But eggplant is her game The lady sticks to me like white on rice She never cooks the same way twice- Maybe it's the mushrooms Maybe the tomatoes I can't reveal her name But eggplant is her game When my baby cooks her eggplant She don't read no book And she's got a Gioconda Kind of dirty look And my baby cooks her eggplant About 19 different ways But sometimes I just have it raw With mayonnaise Maybe it's the way she grates her cheese Or just the freckles on her knees Maybe it's the scallions Maybe she's Italian I can't reveal her name But eggplant is her game. |

Daddy plays the ashtray
Baby starts to cry The Lady wants to know The reason why Daddy's just like Coltrane Baby's just like Miles The Lady's just like heaven When she smiles And the Lady wants to know She wants to know the reason Got to know the reason why This man has got to go This man is always leavin' How he hates to say goodbye But what she doesn't know Is there really is no reason There really is no reason why Daddy he hates airplanes Baby loves to fly And the Lady wants to know The reason why Daddy's just like Coltrane Baby's just like Miles The Lady's just like heaven When she smiles. |

Antonio lives life's fervor
Antonio plays for truth Antonio says our friendship Is a hundred proof The vulture that circles Rio hangs in this LA sky The blankets they give the Indians only make them die But sing the song forgotten for so long And let the music flow like light into the rainbow We know the dance we have We still have a chance to break these chains And flow like light into the rainbow But sing the song forgotten for so long And let the music flow like light into the rainbow We know the dance we have We still have a chance to break these chains And flow like light into the rainbow Antonio loves the desert Antonio plays for rain Antonio knows that pleasure is the child of pain And Lost in La Califusa When most of my hope was gone Antonio's samba led me to the Amazon But sing the song forgotten for so long And let the music flow like light into the rainbow We know the dance we have We still have a chance to break these chains And flow like light into the rainbow |

When the cookie jar is empty
Baby gets so glum When the cookie jar is empty Baby sucks her thumb Baby breaks her dishes And she won't eat her peas Baby never misses When she throws her spoon at me Leo is high as I am leaving; Love is the web that she is weaving When the cookie jar is empty Baby don't act right When the cookie jar is empty Baby cries all night Baby gets so sassy, How can I explain? Baby moves her chassis Like a locomotive train Virgo is high as I'm returning; Love is the candle she is burning |

Most of the time
He's the Lord of the Jungle- Everyone grins while he gripes Usually he's found just lounging around In his stripes His tiger-lady's a superfine feline- Just what His Highness deserves... A sleek purring pussycat Proud of her pussycat curves He's a Tiger in the Rain It's the thunder and lightning He can't explain He's a Tiger in the Rain Who's frightened Caught in the Storm He came searching for shelter- Right up to me and my spouse We both stroked his chin Then invited him into the house |

Ev'ryone sings, "Home of the brave and land of the free"
You've had twenty wins and one save, now you're up against me How can I keep control of my nerves? The way you wind-up when you Throw me those curves? I hear him yell, "strike", and it's a good call It's so hard to keep my eyes on the ball (chorus) On the baseball Love is just like baseball All it is is baseball Love is just like baseball You have played with me like a pawn For most of the night How'd you get your uniform on So perflectly tight? You struck me out twice I singled but died Then you made me pop up By sneakin' inside I'm gonna change that sneer to respect Make your eyes open wide When you feel me connect to the baseball Here I am behind in the ninth The count's 3 and 2 End the game like Beethoven's NINTH Is what I must do So now that we're here Alone in the dark I'm gonna send this Right out of the park If I was you I'd leave it alone 'Cause I'm tearin' round third Slidin' toward home |

Same old song
Always blue Can't help thinking Of me and you All the love before Our goodbyes were spoken On the storm We were tossed Tragically Till our love was lost Drifting miles apart Both our hearts were broken Now when I meet you Out on the street you Still got the moves to Haunt me We're face to face now The past is erased now I'll be yours if you really Want me We keep tryin' but we can't forget The thrill we feel from our Love Duet Listen Baby, it ain't over yet We got one more chorus of our Love Duet You love me I love you That we can do To complete the song Of our life together? On our own We have grown But freedom means That you're all alone And you spend your time Being cool and clever |

When Sly calls
The profit speaks When Sly calls The secret leaks The sky falls The dice are tossed The war is won The battle's lost When Sly calls It's thirteen takes When Sly calls The summer breaks The sky falls The rain begins And on the box some Leon spins To insulate me from the icy aftershock I feel each time That Sly calls (Don't touch that phone) I am not here I'm making my escape The me you hear Is magnetized on tape I'm flying south For snorkeling and sleep (? C?te d'Azur) Just leave your message when you hear the (Don't you dare touch that phone) When you hear the beep When Sly calls It's tit for tat When Sly calls It's rat eat rat The sky falls The thunder claps I see my house of cards collapse When Sly calls The muse gets jammed When Sly calls The best laid plans The sky falls The signal fades I lock the door and shut the shades And contemplate the crystal blue familiar funk I'm plunged into When Sly calls |

Lost your toy
Lover boy In the mirror take a look You're much older now You used to be Twenty-three Then suddenly the summer ends And you don't know how It was endless fun Hit and run "Sweet talk" was your middle name Always on the prowl Just one dance No romance Living like an alleycat And you sure could howl Your secret's safe with me You're tired and lonely The only cure will be love Your secret's safe with me You ain't no contender You got no fist in your glove Your secret's safe with me You're searching for someone Who's got no lies to conceal Your secret's safe with me You're waiting for someone Whose eyes will tell you: It's Real Live and learn Wait your turn Don't you know the deepest love Comes to those who wait? Why be smart? Hear your heart Leading you to someone new No, it's not too late |

Whenever I am lost at sea
I remember you are here with me You surrender to the fantasy When I give my love to you Running from the hurricane Helter-skelter in the wind and rain I find shelter, I find peace again When I give my love to you When I give my love to you I can feel the downtime ending And I ain't pretending Words can simply not reveal The degree of ecstasy Only you can make me feel When you give your love to me Lover, when the world's too square I discover you are always there And no other lover can compare When I give my love to you. |

Keep believing you soon will earn your turn to flash in the pan
It's deceiving' cause nothing kills like this metropolis can Everywhere there's blind ambition Dog eat dog and screw you You do unto others and they do unto you Everyday you fight taxicabs and traffic, permanent frowns Lay awake at night wondering if you hear burglary sounds Think it's time to make my exit Kiss all this goodbye and Catch the next flight south connecting to my island life Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life I belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe I'll do all my swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea For free Guess it must be clear I do not belong in this cityscape I am not from here and I do intend to make my escape Take me back to waterfalls in volcanic canyons Where coconuts and orchids are my sole companions Look at me I'm a refugee from the island life I belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe How inviting it would make always killing time if you Came too Can't you see we're just refugees from the island life We belong where the shade is palm and the mango's ripe We'll do all our swinging in some hammock by a turquoise sea For free |

He had strong defenses built,
His heart to surround Not for long, when she appeared All the walls tumbled down She had scars reminding her She was easily deceived Only tears convinced her Once again to believe His ego would bend Learning the art of love Her heart soon would mend Learning the art of love They were two hearts tuned together And beating as one Ever new, each kiss was like The very first one They explored each landscape Of their sweet intimacy Never bored, love's horizon reached out Infinitely Both lovers and friends Learning the art of love Homework never ends Learning the art of love Learning the art of love Requires some determination You search for the heart of love In every different situation You apply the art of love. |

I know whereof I speak
Believe me When it comes to the subject Of loneliness look it up you'll see There's a picture of me But that's ancient history now Completely Now when it comes to the subject Of happiness I'm the man to see And my advice in summary: Look for a soul mate Someone whose love will go the Distance Stop collecting only temporary hearts Just find a soul mate And then let go of your resistance You'll live happy ever after from the start You need a soul mate Before your house of cards collapses Whose devotion's like a candle in the night Locate a soul mate To help you navigate the rapids That rise up along the river of your life It's you or do my eyes deceive me? Like divine intervention You gave your heart to me for keeps I knew I was in deep This feeling I have it never leaves me What a perfect invention Love is It soothes the savage beast These words of wisdom I repeat: |

Hourglass, remember how
I said I'd miss you? I confess I lied: Hourglass, I couldn't live without you If I tried, which I Do not intend to ever try My Hourglass, your sensual geography I live just to explore Your present, past, and future incarnations I adore The more We love the more I know we loved before Luck of such magnitude fills me with gratitude; Some Navigator Divine tied us together in time Love measures Infinity minute by minute Why, Hourglass, do you suppose my arms surround you So existentially? Hourglass, I know the sand that flows through you Is me I see The sand that flows through you is me. |
