Happy hour
I'm coming to you
Onion tower
And chocolate fondue
Happy hour
It’s time to unwind
Sweet and sour
And more delights of the kind
The drinks are half price
I think I’ll get me two or three
The shrimps are on ice
The lemon slices always are free
Happy hour
Don’t go by too fast
Give me the power
To make the time last
Happy hour
I'll likely return
To devour
All the things that I've earned
The drinks are half price
I think I’ll get me two or three
The shrimps are on ice
The lemon slices always are free
The staff are busy
Working hard to save the day
They must get dizzy
Let’s try to stay out of their way
Happy hour
Happy hour
Happy hour
Happy hour

I Must Be on the Moon
02:41

What was that song
A quaint simple tune
Can’t quite recall
I must be on the Moon
When was that day
One afternoon
So long ago
Oh I must be on the Moon
Memories will fade until you’re not sure
What was real and what is a distant blur
Where was that place
By the lagoon
So far away
I must be on the Moon
What was that show
An old style cartoon
Lost to the years
Yeah I must be on the Moon
Memories will fade until you’re not sure
What was real and what is a distant blur
Memories will fade until you’re not sure
What was real and what is a distant blur
Reminisce assuming it all was true
Go with that no matter what others knew
Who was that friend
Gone much too soon
How could that be
I must be on the Moon

Lucky Stars

Something tells me that you’re feeling wrong
Don’t wanna be here you just tagged along
You know me well enough you know what I’ll say
We can go if you don’t wanna stay
We’ve been here now for a little while
I’ve yet to see you even try to smile
You’d clearly rather be at home today
So we can go if you don’t wanna stay
But when we come the next time
We’re gonna take separate cars
And if we spend our last dime
We’ll call upon our lucky stars
They'll understand if we have to leave
We're always welcome back I do believe
I see you've had enough so why delay
We can go if you don’t wanna stay
We can go if you don’t wanna stay
But when we come the next time
We’re gonna take separate cars
And if we spend our last dime
We’ll call upon our lucky stars
Something tells me that you’re feeling good
You’re glad to be here like you thought I would
You know I’d rather be at home although
We can stay if you don’t want to go

The Storm
03:13
|
|||
|
Time to face your only fear
Take a leap as a souvenir
Reminisce as you forge ahead
Learn one more lesson and get back to bed
The weather is changing
So try to stay warm
The clouds are arranging
You should stay clear of the storm
Work the count and watch the ball
Get up and walk or learn how to crawl
Take a guess if you just don’t know
Think and talk or put on a show
The weather is changing
So try to stay warm
The clouds are arranging
Try to stay clear of the storm
Get it moving and stand up straight
No time for questions no need for debate
See yourself in another place
Think it through or you’ll run out of space
The weather is changing
So try to stay warm
The clouds are arranging
Always stay clear of the storm

The Same Old Story
03:01
|
|||
|
After the daytime
After the nighttime
Then there’s no more time
Nothing that you can do
After the daylight
After the moonlight
Then there's no more light
Nothing that you can do
Tell me the same old story
And let us go away
Please tell me soon before we
Find a reason to stay
After the sunshine
After the starshine
Then there’s no more shine
Nothing that you can do
Tell me the same old story
And let us go away
Please tell me soon before we
Find a reason to stay
After the daytime
After the moonlight
Then there’s no more shine
Nothing that you can do

Try to Write a Song
03:00
|

|
Try to write a song
Make it short or long
Tell us what is wrong
Sing with all your heart
Hum a melody
In the key of D
Tell us what you see
Count to four and start
When you are done you just might make them cry
Hit number one there’s no better way to fly
Play a chord or two
Make 'em sound like new
Strum until you’re through
Feel it in your soul
Take the drummer’s beat
From his hands and feet
Dancing in his seat
Watch the drumsticks roll
When you are done you just might make them cry
Hit number one there’s no better way to fly
Try to write a song
Make it short or long
Tell us what is wrong

Hey little James
Here’s the world
Take your place
One day you’ll know
You are loved
Prove your case
Go out and make some good friends
And be there whenever they need
You'll see it never ends
It’s always best to do a good deed
Hey little James
Take your time
Grow up strong
One day you’ll know
You do your best
You can’t go wrong
Go out and make some good friends
And be there whenever they need
You'll see it never ends
It’s always best to do a good deed
Go out and make some good friends
Who’ll be there whenever you need
You'll see it never ends
It’s always best to do a good deed
Hey little James
Here’s the world
Take your place
