Well put your red shoes on
Let your golden hair down.
Because we’re going dancing
Tonight we’ll rock the town.
I know that you love me
I can feel it tonight.
And for me it’s all right
That you hold me so tight.
Now there’s a new cool dance
It’s not hard to join in.
Listen it’s really rocking
It makes you want to sing.
Now put your hands in the air
Then your feet apart.
You look as though you’re happy
And then you do the sting!
Why don’t you join in with me and sing?!
I can’t hear you sing along with me!
Well put your red shoes on
Let your golden hair down.
Because we’re going dancing
Tonight we’ll rock the town.
Now there’s a new cool dance
It’s not hard to join in.
Listen it’s really rocking
It makes you want to sing.
Let’s do our dance by the lake
Get ready to shake.
It’s such a crazy thing
We call it the sting
Why don’t you join in with me and sing?!
Just stop talking start moonwalking now!

Walla Walla Blues
04:30
|
|||
Well we hit the road quite early
Took the I-5 really slow.
WALLA WALLA HEAR ME!
Drove thru’ Yakima valley
Saw the Columbia River flow.
WALLA WALLA HEAR ME!
We were travelling east together
Sure was one fine sunny day.
‘Cos we knew the very next wine bar
Could not be so far, Suzie said.
WALLA WALLA HEAR ME!
Looked for B&B sign posts
Just a little bed and a bath.
WALLA WALLA HEAR ME!
So we ate out each night together
Dined and watched the setting sun.
We’ve arrived in Walla Walla
Such a fine city, Harvey said.
WALLA WALLA HEAR ME!
Went out for a happy hour
Sat and just listened to the blues.
WALLA WALLA HEAR ME!
We took all of the blues you gave us
Life will never be the same.
Here’s a toast to dear old good friends
Let’s raise our glasses, Irma said.
WALLA WALLA HEAR ME!
Guess you know that we miss you
‘Cos you welcomed us open arms.
WALLA WALLA HEAR ME!
Memories live on in our hearts
One day we’ll be back again.

Shutdown Boogie
03:45
|
|||
Man I need a buck
‘Cos I’m out of luck.
I’m still working
Without any pay.
I’ve two kids and a wife
This is not an easy life.
Shutdown – crazy, hazy
Shutdown – boring, roaring
Shutdown without any pay check.
Why should I work
What’s a man to do?
Presidential tweet
This what it said
Ask for credit
But the guy told me
To turn round and go home
He sure won’t give me a loan.
Shutdown – crazy, hazy
Shutdown – boring, roaring
Shutdown without any pay check.
Why should I work
What’s a man to do?
Mister President
Not sure what you meant.
You want a wall
Never mind the cost.
I know you want it tall
And it’s not an easy call.
Shutdown – crazy, hazy
Shutdown – boring, roaring
Shutdown without any pay check.
My money’s gone
Just can’t carry on.
Do you understand
The pain that we’re in?
Five billion bucks
Sounds like quite a lot.
To just keep people out
Who will help those that are in?
Shutdown – crazy, hazy
Shutdown – boring, roaring
Shutdown without any pay check.
Why should I work?
What’s a man to do?
Despite my pride
Last night I cried.
Work each day
But no pay!
Shutdown – crazy, hazy
Shutdown – boring, roaring
Shutdown.
Don’t you know that
We’re feeling pain?
We do our best
You do the rest.
Please get our
Pay to us!
Shutdown – crazy, hazy
Shutdown – boring, roaring
Shutdown.
Hey dear Donald
Please stop this farce.

You Said We Would Always
05:48
|
|||
If I knew just why you hurt me.
If I could see your point of view.
Oh baby won’t you let me know
What did I do wrong?
Surely we are not past and done?
I just cannot figure it out.
I can see that you still need my loving
Oh yes I feel you trembling.
I know you want to
Kiss my lips and feel my touch.
Well you never really knew me.
‘Cos I never show my feelings.
But if you try to look you’ll see
That I still love you.
Getting inside where my heart lies.
Not an easy thing that’s for sure.
Baby we can make it ‘cos our feelings
Yes I mean our real feelings
I know that they’re still there
Somewhere deep down inside.
When I look at you each morning.
See your face and hear you breathing.
My heart still races ‘cos
I know that you are mine.
So much time we spent together
Was not always sunny weather.
I’m the man who loves you more than ever.
Yes I mean more than ever.
Want you to know that I
Will take your hand and fly.
Remember when we first dated?
Can you still feel that first deep kiss?
I held your hand and then we
Ran along the wet sand.
On the beach I dropped to my knees.
Asked you to be my wedded wife.
You said ‘yes’ and told me
We would always
Yes you said we would always
Walk on hand in hand.

I-5 Blues
04:00
|

KATEI said
It’s too late.
We have no love left in us.
It was not, always so I know but
It’s the way things are now!
‘Cos you and me and me and you
Have no time left on our slate, too late
All’s said and done ‘cos we
Have no time left.
JILL I cried
There’s no thrill.
The nights of endless loving
They are gone, nothing left but love bites.
That’s the way that things are!
‘Cos you and me and me and you
Had our fun but that’s all done, too late
But we still have photos
And memories.
SUE we’re through
Me and you.
We have to call it a day
There’s no point, I am going away
What’s the use of crying
‘Cos you and me and me and you
Did it all and saw the world
But now I know that you
Want to start something new.
JEAN I know
Where you’ve been.
I heard that you have been seen
Out each night, with another lover
And my heart is broken
‘Cos you and me and me and you
Never thought our love would end, but it’s
A fact of life that love
Comes and then goes.

Thinking and Drinking
04:45
|
|||
I’ve been drinking
Done some thinking.
Wish I knew what
Life is about.
Could it be true
Payment is due?
I’ve no money
Debt must be paid.
Drinking, thinking
I’ve been drinking,
And been thinking
‘Cos that’s what we men do!
Late night shifting
Heavy lifting.
Back is a pain
Aching again.
People just stare
What do I care.
Body’s a mess
Need help to dress.
Working, thinking
Mind is drifting,
I’m just too low
Life’s a no-go, baby!
Eyes are real wet
Tongue is quite dry.
Only know now
What I have lost.
You are on my mind
All the time!
Sure do miss you
Need to kiss you.
Sitting thinking
No more drinking,
Just keep hoping
‘Cos that what we men do!
Half of my life
You were my wife.
Finest couple
On this planet.
I understand
Why you’re so mad
But it makes me
Still feel so sad.
Got some photos
In my pocket,
Keep me going
When I’ve lost it, baby!

Her Heart Broke
02:03
|
|||
"Heart broke" you said
Those were the first words
I heard you say.
"Never, never again!"
That’s what I heard you say.
No more romance
I had my chance.
I can’t stand no more!
No this can’t be I thought
She still did not meet me.
I have to get her
To give me a date.
Hey miss wait
I want a date!
I won’t let her go
Don’t you understand
I love her so.
Then she turned round to go
On no please won’t you stay.
Give me a chance
To win your love
I can’t leave here now.
I understand you’re hurt
And that you don’t need me.
But I’ll be here
When you need a guy to
Hold you hand
And understand.

Crazy World Revisited
03:05
|
|||
I have seen the world
Had my fill of thrills.
But I am lacking
The basic skills.
Do you think
I’m making sense?
Crazy world
Real crazy world
Revisited!
Once I thought I knew
All there is to know.
Yes you know that was
Quite long ago.
Nothing new
In all I do.
Crazy world
Real crazy world
Revisited!
Died for my country
Saw towns too poor to see.
Sometimes I wonder
Was it just me.
Do you think
I’m making sense?
Crazy world
Real crazy world
Revisited!
Did you know that
I have a wife.
Do you realize
This is my life.
Fame came so late
I had to wait.
Life’s too short
To be caught!
Dust in the air
Sand in my hair.
The FBI
Is everywhere.
My time has come
All’s said and done.
Crazy world
Visit done!

They Said I'm Too Young
04:11
|
|||
Well they all said I’m too young
I guess they thought that I’m too shy.
It’s only when I get out here
That I start to fly.
And they all said I must wait
I guess they thought I’m not ready.
And yeah at first I tremble
But once out here I’m STEADY!!
I was born to make music
I just live to sing my song.
I want to share my feelings
Why don’t you clap along?
Hey you – and you – and you - and you
Yeah!! Why don’t you clap ALONG?
Just hear me then you’ll know
That I’m my own special show.
I move my feet, I feel so good
This is all I ever wanted to do!
I’m quite calm till I see you
It’s my fans that turn me on.
I move my feet and feel good
This is all I want to do!
Hey you – and you – and you - and you
This is all I want to do!!
Just hear me then you’ll know
That I’m my own special show.
I move my feet, I feel so good
This is all I ever wanted to do!
It’s not easy you see
‘Cos there’s another me.
Struggling to get out
To rock and roll and shout!
So glad you are all here
Just helping me along.
You’re my inspiration
Yes you’re the words of my song.
Hey you – and you – and you
Why don’t you clap ALONG?
I’m okay!!
You’re okay!!
We’re okay!! We’re gonna party
I said party party to-night!
It’s my show.
But I know.
I need you
We belong together!

BREXIT Blues
04:03
|
|||
I went to the doctor
Boy I got bad news.
He said I've gone down with
A case of BREXIT blues.
But God bless, NHS
Will pay for my costs!
It seems the frustration
Impacted my brain.
As I watch this nation
Slide slowly down the drain!
There’s no doubt, (with) no way out
I must exit now!
The doctor gave me quite a shock
Said I may need a new backstop!
I replied «Sorry it’s a no-deal!»
He said «I get how you feel!»
But God bless, NHS
Will pay for my costs!
The constant rounds of May or May-not
With no solution in sight,
And incapable politicians
All keep me awake each night.
Three years on, want to know
Do we stay or go?!
We are an insular folk
But a well respected nation.
Now we're a joke round the world
And a source of endless frustration.
No good news
BEXIT Blues
Are we out or in?
Theresa left number 10
And Boris is back again.
We’ve gone from bad to worse.
The EU can only curse.
We want to have our cake and eat it!
Well I’ve got real bad news
Because my BREXIT blues,
That should have ended
Will now I hear be extended!
No big deal
Indeed no deal at all!

BREXIT blues
The NHS have now officially recognized «BREXIT-blues» as a serious illness. More than half the UK population have lost interest in politics, and the never-ending saga of «leave-or-remain» is interfering with their work, social and family life. Lack of enjoyment and anxiousness are typical symptoms of the BREXIT-blues. According to a recent NHS report the BREXIT-blues has now reached epidemic proportions.

You Can Call Me Pete
03:55
|

LYRICS
Don't know how we came to meet
Just by chance across the street.
You asked me "Well what's your name?"
I said "Please just call me Pete!"
Love at first sight, sure feels all right
You can call me Pete.
Now you are still here with me
Not sure why - a mystery.
'Cos I broke your heart real bad
Made you end up feeling sad!
I was a fool, thought I was cool!
But you stayed with me.
There were days we used to fight
But the nights were sure all right.
We had kids some years ago
Boy I really love 'em so!
Babe if you knew, how I love you
Darling I'm your man!
But somewhere along the way
Played poker and could not pay.
Things got bad then even worse
Caught me stealing from your purse.
Took to drinking, without thinking
But you helped me through.
