I’m givin’ my two weeks notice to summer
Any time or place is better than here
And you know it’s gettin’ colder in here
When you come home late and celebrate your own thing.
I’m givin’ my two weeks notice to summer
Geuss I better start to pack for the coast
That’s the place where people love me the most
And there’s no hang-ups and anything could happen.
Chorus:
How could anything happen in the summertime?
(alternate line: Why do we think that summertime’s so great?—don’t get it)
I’m givin’ my two weeks notice to summer
Mercy killing of this weekend is fine
And the killin’ joke you know it was mine
And there’s no laughs left and I could use a new one.
Chorus:
How could anything happen in the summertime?
(alternate line: Why do we think that summertime’s so great?—don’t get it)

To Find Your Happiness
04:24
|

Newfound freedom is it making you crazy?
Now that she’s gone are just getting lazy?
Can you do a single thing alone?
Have you had to come down off your throne
Just for a while?
Can we see an inkling of your smile
Or will you have to go the extra mile?
To Find Your Happiness
To Bring Your Happiness Back
Just bring it on back…..oh, if you can
Now your weekends are so empty and lonely
All you do is sit and wonder if only
You could chance upon her on her own
And you could say the words to bring her home
Just for tonight
But then again it could lead to a fight
All kerosene and cartoon dynamite
To Find Your Happiness
To Bring Your Happiness Back
Just bring it on back…..oh, if you can
Instrumental passage of a most diverting nature with trumpet and classical guitars
No one answers all your pitiful phone calls
Now you’re shut off brick by brick behind stone walls
And some say you’re better off this way
And some have the sense to never say
What’s on their minds
That you should leave and never call again
This longing for her must come to an end
To Find Your Happiness
Just Bring Your Happiness Back
Just bring it on back…..oh, if you can
Fabulous ending what will the muted trumpet and all.

Very Anne why don’t you come inside
Fredo’s here to come along for the ride
The least you could do is to admit you’re wrong
The least you could do is to admit you’re wrong
Very Anne it’s true that you’re no saint
Fredo’s pulse it seems to grow more faint
Very Anne your work will not be shown
Fredo’s world will never be your own
The least you could do is to admit you’re wrong
The least you could do is to admit you’re wrong
Very Anne waits for the right shade of blue
Fredo wants to help but what can he do?

Inspected by Curly
Inspected by Curly
He works on the line, he’s fillin’ in time
Inspected by Curly
Inspected by Curly
He works all day long, he’s singin’ this song
And he’s the best you’ll see
Approvin’ the objects by man and machine
Keepin’ his standards high
Rejectin’ defectives, he’s my kinda guy
Inspected by Curly
Inspected by Curly
He packs it with pride, his labor’s inside
Snappin’ elastic bands
It can be fun, but sometimes it’s a drag
Testin’ the tension out, believin’, not leavin’
It’s his kinda bag
Chorus 2x:
Inspected by Curly
ba, ba, ba, ba
Inspected by Curly
ba, ba, ba, ba

A creepy kind of widow’s peak offsets her precious stones
A moment’s work and now he can say they’re his very own
But he won’t stop taking things away from you
The major feels the slightest touch and then it just slips his mind
Later in his bedroom watch and diamonds he tries to find
But he won’t stop taking things away from you
He won’t stop taking things away from you
He won’t stop taking things away from you oooo, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Uncle’s Red Ambassador keeps him anesthetized
Permanently out of it the theft comes as no surprise
But he won’t stop taking things away from you
The hostess feels embarrassed for her guests now she feels the pain
A million bucks in jewelry, a life’s work goes down the drain
But he won’t stop taking things away from you
He won’t stop taking things away from you
He won’t stop taking things away from you oooo, ah, ah, ah, ah.
Don’t know how he works himself into so many lives
Don’t know home fools them all telling so many lies
But he won’t stop taking things away from you
He won’t stop taking things away from you
He won’t stop taking things away from you oooo, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Delmarva Way

The top’s down I can see, and your hair’s flowin’ free
(Where you goin’ this weekend? Where you goin’ this weekend?)
And I know right away, that you’re goin’ for quite a stay
(Where you goin’ this weekend? Where you going to stay-ay-ay?)
Comin’ Delmarva Way
Maps are good if you’re lost, no one seems to mind the cost
(Where you goin’ this weekend? Where you goin’ this weekend?)
Check the air, oil and gas, try not to drive so fast
(Where you goin this weekend? Where you goin to stay-ay-ay?)
Comin’ Delmarva Way
Don’t you know I remember, the two of us were there (here?) on another day.
Suitcase sits by your side, anticipates the ride
(Where you goin’ this weekend? Where you goin’ this weekend?)
Staying here, there’s no way, someone knows you’re on your way
(Where you goin’ this weekend? Where you goin’ to stay-ay-ay?)
Comin’ Delmarva Way….

Maybe Then

Someday you will understand him
Maybe then you’ll have something then
Maybe then you’ll have something new
Maybe then you’ll have something new to say
While there’s a chance to get it back
Maybe then you’ll have something then
You thought you knew him so well
(what do you know?)
You thought you knew him so well
(which way did he go?)
You thought you knew him so well, oh well
You thought you knew him so well
(poor judge I guess)
You thought you knew him so well
(stuck in his mess)
You thought you knew him oh well, oh well. Da, da, di, di, di, etc
You thought you knew him so well
(whose fault it is?)
You thought you knew him so well
(got to be his)
You thought you new him so well, oh well
You thought you knew him so well
(it don’t take no skill)
You thought you knew him so well
(the impulse to kill)
You thought you knew him so well, oh well
Long pointless middle rescued by Yani!
Someday you will understand him
Maybe then you’ll find something out
Maybe then you’ll know something more
Maybe then you’ll know what to watch
While there’s a chance to get it back (buuurrrpppp!)
Maybe then you’ll find something out
You thought you knew him so well
(just live and to learn)
You thought you knew him so well
(hard to discern)
You thought you knew him so well, oh well
You thought you knew him so well
(forgive and forget)
You thought you knew him so well
(don’t make your bet)
You thought you knew him so well, oh well. Di, di, do, do dah. Oooh. Etc..

Weirdos

Hey, phone booth man
How’d you get those home, all alone
Are you made of steel, what’s the deal
With your big shiny head?
Hey, peace sign man
I see your leather grin, lookin’ in
A side view glance is the main chance
To get a look at you
Chorus:
These are weirdos I have known
Do you have some of your own? 2X (with complete prog second time)
Brick project man
You’re a sight to see, one, two, three
Are you pants-confused, I’m amused
At how you waste your time
Unbalanced Man
On your shaky drive, are you alive?
You lean to port, are you the sort
To cross the yellow line?
