DOCTOR DUCK

There  waits Doctor Duck

He's a real quack

A street  corner  guy

who is peddling smack

He never minds the rain

It's water off his  back

 

Duck down low

Duck down low

Hear the siren

see the blue glow

Duck down low

in a dark shadow

 

Here comes a user

He's a real smuck

Wet behind the ears

and in need of an up

he'll purchase a prescription

from dark Doctor Duck

SONG LYRICS:

NEW MODEL

I know you are young

but your ways are old

When it comes to freedom

you feel free to scold

Life with you's no doddle

I want a new model

 

You're slim enough yeah

to be a catwalk queen

You're  sleek enough yeah

to be a limousine

Yet life  with you's no doddle

I want a new model

 

Rpt. 1st verse

L. 1353

JANE

You'd to give the boys a boost

Some wouldn't come back to roost

They were at home with you

out there fighting World War II

 

Strip down Jane

All the boys entertain

Comic strip capers

won you fame

 

Yes they were at home with you

out there fighting World War II

Over the bromide in their tea

you helped bring them victory

L. 1352

THIS WAY TO THE MOON

Be the boost to my rocket

I'll be the plug to your socket

We'll send each other flying

We'll be so electrifying  baby

 

Boom baby boom

Zoom lady zoom

This way to the moon

 

Looking out the window here

up at the breast-round sphere

I want us to fly away

to the moon and the Milky Way

L. 1351

SLEEPIN' BEAUTY

The sun goes down

The shadows creep

You're up the stairs

in your beauty sleep

You're up the stairs

in your beauty sleep

 

Sleep beauty sleep

Sleep beauty sleep

Your vanity is shallow

Your dreams  aren't deep

 

The moon is up

and the curtain drawn

Your head lies low

You're in fine form

L. 1351

SONG LYRICS:

THE CALLIN'

There's life after the death that's work

to ever so many bored folk

Dress up and get on out people

Have a drink, a laugh and a joke

while I  dress down, while I dress down

sit in my corner and  frown

 

There is no joy in going to work

where there's a dearth of fun

Everybody's got their own calling

but  few get to hear it come

So I sit down, yes I sit down

I sit in my corner and frown

 

Rpt. 1st verse

L. 1350

F  WORD

I  won't  change my stance

just to be commercial

I won't sing the F  word

just to be controversial

 

I gotta be honest

I gotta be true

I gotta be open

I gotta be straight with you

 

I wouldn't change a thing

as to what I state

though I'd change the world

with all its lies and hate

L. 1349

ELEPHANT'S  MEMORY

Reflecting on the things

you aughta leave behind

you see only bad ghosts

in the mirror of your mind

Best to look away girl

or maybe you'll go blind

 

You've the elephant's memory

The elephant's memory you've got

Yet it's way too selective

You're tying your trunk in a knot

 

Your ears aren't a-flapping

You are not listening

Try to look on your life

as just a circus-ring

where a fresh act enters

upon a previous exiting

L. 1348

ROSETTA STONE

Man that girls a minx

and mysterious as the Sphinx

She'll follow you like some jinx

and would have you in kinks

if she didn't have you in tears

 

Rosetta Stonw

she's a riddle to the bone

and won't leave you alone

Oh Rosetta Stone

 

You could be El  Draco

but you won't scare this whacko

You could be Francis Drake

The Dragon, the Sea-Snake

yet she is without any fear
