A - G

"And tomorrow, we might not be together
I'm no prophet and I don't know nature's ways
So I'll try and see into your eyes right now
And stay right here, 'cause these are the good old days

(These are the good old days)"

"The wind's pulling the moon down
Underneath the eiderdown
You're taking me to town
And you're tossing me around
You come on like a hurricane
I'm settling like your weathervane

After the storm
And your body feels so warm"

"Strut around the floor in a new attitude
Do the locomotion in a new attitude
Do the mashed potato in a new attitude
Do the hully gully in a new attitude"

"Better not tell her
Why you love Spanish dancing
Don't bother to say that it's hot
In the summer in Madrid....

Just leave out the white nights
The moon in your window
The break in your whisper

The promises after"

The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout.
Touch your thumb of one hand to index finger of other hand. Then touch index finger to the thumb of other hand. Do it over again 5 times while lifting your hands up and singing.

Down came the rain,
Raise and wiggle your fingers to simulate rain by slowly bringing your hands down.
and washed the spider out.
Sweep your hands away from one another while hand palms are pointing towards the floor.

Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain,
Form a circle with your hands (sun), and raise your hands (the sun is rising).
 
and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.
Touch your thumb of one hand to index finger of other hand. Then touch index finger to the thumb of other hand. Do it over again - 4 times while lifting your hands up while singing.

"De bat he rat got wings
All the children know that
What I need to know from the lord
Is how you get de wings on the cat

They say a bat's got radar
And he can fly through fan
But what I am afraid of is
That he got another plan
To fly in me…"

"A take-out man's an O.K. plan
If you've got lots of time
Especially if he's biodegradable....

So I'll help myself to love
There's nothing more to fear
Don't wrap it up,
I'll eat it here"

"In a pine forest cooler than the rest of the island
Lives a young fisherman with eyes like the sea
He built his own boat and made his own cabin....

We planted a tree....

When his candle is snuffed
And he's deep in a dream
I move like a cat
And crawl into his window
And lie down beside him
In a golden moonbeam

The smell of his skin is just like the summer
When our love was as fresh
As the grass in the fields
And ever so softly I kiss his eyelids
Before slipping away, my secret concealed"

Daisy, Spinning

"Come into the garden
It's magical trees
Dapple the sun as they sway with each lazy breeze
They'll set your mind at ease

Pretend you're a child
With nothing to hide
Then we'll join hands and let the universe swing wide
We'll lay our fears aside"

"And I just like them
Would know it all when I matured
And no longer be afraid of the darkness or the bears
Or the cracks in the ceiling upstairs"

                                                                                                                     

H - O

"Stay out of the ocean
Stay out of the sun
Stay in perfect shape
And be number one....

We'll go back to the garden
And have a good time....

I wish, I wish, for all the people in the world, to finally come together, as one large birthday cake -
and I could eat them all up"

"Says spittle on the griddle
As you drop that batter into that hot butter
Round and brown
Pipping hot
Like is not?
What we got is hotcakes

Hubba, hubba, hubba
Puffing up fluffy and sweet
And now wait -
And now flip it"

"The protein shakes, that's not like him
The carrot cakes, that's not like him
The oat bran flakes, that's not like him....

The berries in the blender, that's not like him
Those twelve step groups, that's not like him
And Guadeloupe, that's not like him"

"We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the dark'ning dawn...

Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the New Jerusalem"

"Here on earth I'm a lost soul
Ever trying to find my way back home
Maybe that's why each new star is born
Expanding heaven's room
Eternity in bloom"

"Won't you give me all your limes
And I will give you a reason
I'll rub them on my body
And smell, just like the West Indies"

"There are plenty of boats to catch
If you notice all the sails in the wind
But you better look hard my friend....

Oh, the water is wide....

Come on home with me
We'll sit under a tree"

P - Z

"You moved to the country
Bought a farm and tilled the land
Then you took your books to India
And got hooked on a holy man
But the wells they do run dry
And the speeches turn to words
And the woods are full of tigers
And freedom's for the birds"

"Strange times in Portland, Maine
Lobsters dancing on the docks
Switzerland's been weird since they unplugged the clocks....

Maharajah wants you to lead a pilgrimage to Tibet
New York women want me sounding off like a Suffragette
I know that each of us is all alone in the end
But the trip still feels less dangerous when you've got a friend

If we stick together
You and me forever
We're safe and sound
The world's just turned inside out and upside down

The world's just turned inside out and upside down"

"Where are those sons of summer now
The winter has come
And you don't know how to turn your
Dreams into coal
Your books won't hold you
The woods get cold
And I feel too old
 I begin to question your schoolboy soul"

"Here now summer's coming around again
Every year it seems to come in this way"

Daisy, Spinning

"Two little sisters gazing at the sea,
Imagining what their futures will be

The older one says, as her eyes look around,
"I will go as far as the corners of the town.
I'll plant a little garden, flowers everywhere.
And pluck the most fragrant for my hair."

"Like a waterfall goin' down
Like a waterfall washing me down
Spinnin' me around
Lord, and I'm drownin'"

"The hammock swings lower and touches the grass
The apples are ripe and the corn is past
Everyone says summer goes by so fast....

The beach is a haze and old love's a ghost
Hugo is twisting his way up the coast
If you blew out to sea I'd love you most....

The two of us left here alone in the house
You bleed the pipes while I bring in the plants
Put our faces in place for September's dance....

Seems like just a minute ago
we were chasing June bugs in the moonglow
Filling screens in the windows

But now it's getting cold -
maybe snow is in the air
And we just got here"

"With a few good friends
And a stick or two
A house is built at a corner called Pooh
With a friend and a stick
Or three or four
A house is built where it wasn't before"
