‘s revenge for the love boat…

TIME FOR TIMER!!! Ack, my brain’s been whisked back to 1978 or so.

“I hanker for a hunka,
A slab or slice or chunka
A snack that is a winner,
And yet won’t spoil my dinner,
I hanker for a hunka cheese… Yahoo!”

….

Time for Timer!
What? No time for breakfast?
Now look…
Since six o’clock last night you haven’e eaten a bite
C’mon I’ll show you why that’s really not the way
For a growing kid to start a busy day…

Here we are inside your body in this noisy empty space
Is your stomach getting angry ’cause there’s no food
in the place?

(Uh oh…let’s find some food, fast…)

…..

Sunshine on a Stick

Now, some weekend when it’s raining
And your mother is complaining
‘Cause you’re sitting there just twiddling your thumbs
Tell your mom that you’ve been itchin’
To make something in the kitchen,
And oh yes the mess will be a minimum!
But the thing that’s gonna please her
Is you make it in the freezer
And nothing could be easier to fix!
Now just watch while I go through it
Really all you need to do it
Is some kind of juice and just a few toothpicks!

Okay! Get yourself an ice tray and pour in orange juice OR lemonade OR pomegranate juice OR whatever turns you on. Then, cover the tray with plastic wrap, caaaarefully poke the toothpicks through the plastic, put it in the freezer and in a few hours – Presto! Stacks of snacks!

Don’t wait until it rains before you try this nifty trick
You’ll have a fun time eating sunshine on a stick!

….

Oh come on! Don’t knock it ’till you try it,put a little on your plate! Don’t make a face before you taste it,some kids think it’s great! Why not try a smorgasbord dinner? Which means a smidgin of this and a smidgin of that! Don’t knock it ’till you try it-eating can be fun! Try eating little bites of different things instead of lots of 1! Don’t quibble ’till you nibble a dabble or a dibble of everything that’s on your plate and then-go back and eat the things you like again!!

sunshine on a stick, in real audio

I’m not sure how fond of you all are of a Prairie Home Companion…but the archives are a wonderful fling over to where my head is. You’ll see Scotto in full fuddy-duddy mode, listening to it. Talking about lutefisk, Guy Noir, and the lot of them got me going for many a day back when I was a kid, and whenever I can tune in these days on NPR. Finding the show archive is an amazing thing, about 4 years worth. Beautiful.

Here’s a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don’t worry, be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry, be happy now

{Refrain}
Oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Don’t worry
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Be happy
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Don’t worry, be happy

{Refrain}

Ain’t got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don’t worry, be happy
The landlord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don’t worry, be happy
Look at me, I’m happy

{Refrain}
Give you my phone number
When you worry, call me, I make you happy

{Refrain}

Ain’t got no cash, ain’t got no style
Ain’t got no gal to make you smile
But don’t worry, be happy
‘Cause when you worry, your face will frown
And that will bring everyody down
So don’t worry, be happy
Don’t worry, be happy now

{Refrain}

{Refrain}

Now there, is this song I wrote
I hope you learned it note for note
Like good little children
Don’t worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don’t worry, be happy, be happy now

Sing it with me now!

There’s no need to fear, Unnnnderdog is here!

oooh,a,oooh,a,ooh,a,a,oooh….

When criminals in this world appear,
And break the laws that they should fear,
And frighten all who see or hear,
The cry goes up both far and near for
Underdog!
(Underdog),
Underdog!
(Underdog).

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog.

When in this world the headlines read
Of those who’s hearts are filled with greed
And rob and steal from those in need.
To right this wrong with blinding speed goes
Underdog,
Underdog,
Underdog,
Underdog.

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder,
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog.

powers of good helped you all, I came within inches of embedding a sound file of me singing this. thank me.
