This Little Samba

This Little Samba
This little samba has nowhere to go
This little samba has no one it knows
This little samba has no one to call
This little samba knows no one at all
Down to the beach is where it wants to go
Back to the places that it used to know
Down to the beach is where it wants to stay
And you had better not get in its way
This little samba lolls around all day
It never seems to have that much to say
If you approach it take care to be nice
It will not bite you more than once or twice
Down to the beach is where it wants to be
Close to the water’s edge near you and me
Girls seem to like it when it hangs out there
Out in the sunlight, free without a care
And if you’re thinking that this little song
Is a real samba, then you would be wrong
This little samba must confess it’s true
A bossa nova has been played for you
Down to the beach is where it lives alone
No other places ever seemed like home
So, if you see it kindly lend a hand
And you will make a friend out on the sand.

Getting Involved
Been seein’ you ‘round I don’t know how long
Don’t know why this feelin’s gettin’ so strong
Getting Involved with me
How ‘bout gettin’ involved with me?
How ‘bout gettin’ involved with me?
Yeh, I think we have some friends in common
And you know that’s gonna be the problem
Getting Involved with me
How ‘bout gettin’ involved with me?
How ‘bout gettin’ involved with me?
Sometimes a secret can be such fun
Just how long do you think you can keep one?
Getting Involved with me (no finer time to be involved with me)
How ‘bout gettin’ involved with me? (no finer place to be involved with me)
How ‘bout gettin’ involved with me?

Don’t You Want to Know the Way It Feels to Lose?
It must’ve been so hard for you
to give a damn about anybody else
(I’m not the only one surprised)
After so many years
of trying hard to keep everybody out
(I’m not the only one surprised)
Don’t You Want To Know the Way It Feels to Lose?
Since you never have before,
Since you never have before…
Until now.
You’ll have to make some room y’know,
and throw out things you’ve had sitting ‘round for years.
(I know you’re taken by surprise)
I hope it’s not too much for you
Not being used to having to compromise
(I know you’re taken by surprise)
Don’t You Want to Know the Way It Feels to Lose?
Since you never have before,
Since you never have before…
Until now

Home School
Gonna take A lot of time, baby
All of yours and all of mine maybe
It won’t happen overnight, even with my expert oversight
You’ll learn in my home school
It won’t give without a fight, baby
Though you try with all your might, baby
It won’t happen overnight, even with my expert oversight
You’ll learn in my home school
Keep it simple and nice
No, you don’t need to think twice
Keep it short and keep it light
Don’t be vulgar, don’t be impolite
But when all is said and done, baby
You’ll know more than anyone, baby
It won’t happen overnight, even with my expert oversight
You’ll learn in my home school
Keep it harmless and fun
You don’t need to tell no one
We don’t need to know your dirt
And remember to tuck in your shirt.

It’s Too Late It’s Friday
It’s too late, it’s Friday, they can’t touch me now
No more waitin’ for this week to turn around
No more waitin’ for phone calls that never come
It’s over ‘til next time around
I’ts too late to do much but kill some time
‘Cause nothin’ could happen outside nine-to-five
Another week is now over or fadin’ fast
It’s over ‘til next time….
I’m not talkin’ bout the dreams you said you had so long ago now
I’m talkin’ bout now
Only a fool would wait so long and never know what’s gonna happen
I’m talkin’ bout now
(ad-libbing or not: too late…)
It’s too late, it’s Friday, time is running out
It’s too late to find out what it’s all about
No more waiting for someone to give a damn
It’s over ‘til next time…
I’m not talkin’ bout the dreams you said you had so long ago now
I’m talkin’ bout now
Only a fool would wait so long and never know what’s gonna happen
I’m talkin’ bout now
(ad-libbing or not…too late/we run out of time)

Seabird, only you feel the benefit of this lovely place
I sit listening to the thump and the whine of all my kind
Could be the only way to be
Could be the only way to be freeee
Could be the only way to be
Could be the only way to be freee
Seabird, let’s say it’s true that scavengin’s not my cup of tea
Maybe it’s been underrated, maybe the only way to be
Could be the only way to be
Could be the only way to be freeee
Could be the only way to be
Could be the only way to be freee
Verse and Chorus with solos
Seabird, so free and easy. Looks like you know just where it’s at
Floating looks like a good job. Where can I get a job like that?
Could be the only way to be
Could be the only way to be freeee
Could be the only way to be
Could be the only way to be freee

Lemon Lane
In a town where no one knows your name you can always find Lemon Lane
In a place where no one wants to know you can always find Lemon Lane
Lemon Lane just sit back and watch it melt away
Who are you to keep the myth alive for one more day?
Thumb your nose, you’ve left them all behind you can always try Lemon Lane
With some luck, you know they’ll never find you can always try Lemon Lane
Lemon Lane just sneak back to how it’s never been
Tell ‘em all the things they think that happened way back when
Won’t you please try Lemon Lane?
Flavorful and self-contained
Have you staked your claim?
(Annoying kazoo-style humming for complete bastards)
Take a break now you’ve made the other side you can always try Lemon Lane
You won’t find a nicer suicide, you can always try Lemon Lane
Lemon Lane when you know you need to disappear
It’s the place to settle back until you’re in the clear
Won’t you please try Lemon Lane?
Flavorful and self-contained
Have you staked your claim?
(Annoying kazoo-style humming for smart-asses)
