PLAYTIME lyrics
1.Honky Tonk Kitty
I’m a Honky Tonk Kitty
And I live in the city
making all the spots in town
swinging all the furry cats around
all the fine felines
scratchin’ in time
i’m an ever-lovin’, cut aboving,
never fearin’, mouskateerin’,
gritty little honky tonk kitty
I get up every day let out
a big meow
I chase my tail a little grab a bowl of chow
I lick my paws, lick my nose ( if I use enough saliva, my fur really glows!)
cuz when the sun goes down, you can bet i’m juke joint bound
without a stitch of clothes I still got style everybody knows that
chorus
The music and the lights attract the hep cat strays
when that band gets down those paws can really play
last Saturday night , the neighbors called the cops
they busted in the joint and tried to make us stop
well I knocked off the cop’s hat, and he yelled kitty cat “scat”
but instead of running away
I grabbed the microphone and sang the bebop way
scat
our favorite place to dance we’re calling Kits -a-GLITTER
instead of using saw dust we use kitty litter...
cuz
we are Honky Tonk Kitties
And we live in the city
making all the spots in town
swinging all the furry cats around
all the fine felines
scratchin’ in time
we’re ever-lovin’, cut aboving,
never fearin’, mouskateerin’,
gritty little honky tonk kitties
thats me!

And You

going through life if only, I have my old guitar and you

oh how happy we wil be
i’ll hook my ladder to a silver star
climb with you and my old guitar

as long as we are together happy i’ll always be
in any ole’ kind of weather with you, my old guitar and me

7.I'm Just Shy
I'm just shy I don't know why
Sometimes even just loud noises
Make me pucker up and cry
I’m just shy so stay by
If you want to understand me
I’m just shy
Let's consider a deer or two
Standing in the fields
If you get too close they bound away
Like thi that's just my deal
Take a look at the bunny now
She just jumps away
Just like her I'm not too sure
If I should go or stay
chorus
solo over chorus
Every rainbow needs its many colors
All of us are like those shiny stripes
Maybe you are orange and maybe you are red
It just seis to me that I'm violet instead
chorus
If you want to understand me
And how very shy I can be
But I ain't no namby-pamby
I'm just shy
8.New Broom Boogie
when you’re feeling sad, tired of being blue,
get yourself a new broom and this is what you do
start a’sweepin’ the clouds causin’ all the gloom
sweep away your troubles with the new broom
so sweep sweep, keep a ‘sweepin’ jack
there’s a blue sky ‘neath the clouds of black
so sweep sweep, sweep away the gloom
to the boogie rhythm of the new broom
t/a--solo
when the clouds hang high and you’re feeling low
make yourself a clean sweep tho the goin’s slow
if you keep right on, boy you’re gonna find,
pretty soon you’re bound to hit the sunshine
chorus
t/a-solo
if the world looks dark through your window pane
then you look for the sun and only see the rain
don’t you fold your hand waitin for your doom
man begin the sweepin' with the new broom
chorus 2x

3x II: to the boogie rhythm of the new broom :II
9.Ways of the
West
Dedicated to Gay
Hey there Tenderfoot, I ain’t foolin’
A pilgrim like you’s gonna need my schoolin’
Listen up to the lingo of this here cowboy
we’re more than some cowpunchin’ plowboys
You’ve heard of Kid Rock and LL Cool J
come west young man and hear me say
we’ve got a beat we’ve got our style
it’s born of the work, it’ll make you smile
I’m a saddle slicker cow prod, limb skinner, brush buster, riding my hoss
all day
I'm no range bum, saddle tramp, slack jaw fool; I’m a genuine bronc bustin’
saint
I wear my ten gallon John B gut hooks and flower rowels
jeans and my buzzard wings
By day you’ll see me jumpin’ over dried up cow pies
at night you can hear me sing
YODEL
let’s talk hoss now
juniper dude, the beast we hold near and dear
the mount you’ve got there is a flea bitten rat tail
lookie at the one i’ve got here.
she’s a winner of a horse, yeah the prize of the string
with plenty speed and bottom for a piebald paint
don’t tell me you’ve
seen another mockey like her
cuz I can tell standin’ here you ain’t
solos
This may sound weird boss, may sound strange
But it’s the ways of the West, you know life on the range?
but hey, if it’ s too hard to get my communication
just relax and let me give the words a vacation

10.Buckaroos
Sleep Too
The Jackalopes are in their den, coyotes roam the hills
Turtle doves nest side by side, the air begins to chill
All the cowboys and all the cowgirls,
they put away their gear
and when the sky turns purple and pink,
they know nighttime is here
BUCKAROOS SLEEP TOO
NOW HOW ‘BOUT YOU?
(now) WHEN THE DAY IS THROUGH
BUCKAROOS SLEEP TOO!
All day long, they wrangle and rope
as far as the eye can see
but at night they use their soap, just like you and me!
their cowboy hats are on the hooks, the horses are all fed
the dinner pot is sparkly clean, it’s finally time for bed!
CHORUS
time to sup! time to clean up!
time to brush! time to hush!
time to rest! let’s do what buckroos do best!

Quiettime lyrics
1.Where Do You Sleep?
Where do you sleep when the sun goes down?
Where do you sleep after you play?
Where do you sleep when you just can’t stay awake?
Where do you sleep, every day?
The mighty eagle she sleeps high high in the trees
she sways in the breeze, high in the trees
Little prairie dogs sleep under the ground.
There’s a whole little town, under the ground, SO
chorus
big black bears they sleep deep deep in their den
til the cold winter’s end, deep in their den
the sturdy little beaver he sleeps in a house made of sticks
he doesn’t need any bricks, for his house made of sticks
are you sleeping on your magic carpet
way up in the sky , swing from a star?
or are you snoozing in your special seat
with your mom and dad in the back of your car???
chorus
where will you sleep later today?
2.Molly's Song
A little girl named Molly gets dressed before the dawn
A woolen skirt and lace up boots and the beauty of a swan
she’s lived six years out on the prairie, just herself and dad
a quiet life of earth and wind is all she’s ever had
Her daddy was a rancher he rode his horse through all four seasons
She longed to ride beside him but he said NO without a reason
so she watched from behind the window, and practiced in her dreams
and make believe that she was big enough to join the team.
(AND SHE WOULD RIDE)
SHE WOULD RIDE AFTER WILD HORSES TUMBLING THROUGH THE BRUSH
(SHE WOULD RIDE)
FLYING FAST BESIDE THE FALCONS KICKING UP THE DUST
SHE WOULD RIDE...SHE WOULD RIDE
for 10 more stubborn winters dad took care of things himself
10 more years of Molly like a doll upon a shelf
one day a storm came howling while daddy worked the land
the toughest one this prairie’d seen, no view but blowing sand
She knew that he must need her to fight the storm’s attack
then she saw his horse -ole’ Belle- no rider on her back
Molly wrapped two blankets round her and jumped up on the bay
the nervous mare reared up just once and then they rode away
CHORUS ( AND THEY RIDE...)
when lightening flashed she saw him
trapped beneath a fallen tree
“daddy don’t you worry you’ll be ok -it’s Belle and
me”
she tied a rope around a branch and then the saddle horn
the tree gave way, they climbed on Belle and rode back through the storm
SOLO OVER HALF CHORUS
Molly girl her daddy said you should win a prize!
You not only saved my life you opened up my eyes!
(AND NOW THEY RIDE...)
NOW THEY RIDE AFTER WILD HORSES TUMBLING THROUGH THE BRUSH
(AND NOW THEY RIDE...)
FLYING FAST AMONG THE FALCONS KICKING UP THE DUST
NOW THE RIDE....NOW THEY RIDE
NOW THEY RIDE....THEY RIDE
3.Midnight on
the Meadow
midnight on the meadow, day bows to the night
rainbows that have faded
stars that sparkle bright
and the valley sleeps, and the angels breathe a sigh
midnight on the meadow, misty purple grey
ponies that are resting
silent where they lay
and the earth collects the dew,
to begin another day
cool....wild....deep...free.......mystery of night
still....dark....calm....peace....all beyond the light
midnight on the meadow, sweet and evergreen
spirits that are rising
floating like a dream
and the blossoms close their buds, a world that can’t be seen
4.That's How
a Cowboy Says His Goodnights
The cattle are lowing, they know where they’re going
out under the moo- moo- moon
I collect all my tack, put it into a sack
and whistle a too-too-tune
I close up the gate ‘round the horses I love
I take off my chaps and my thick leather gloves
I go to the barn and I turn off the lights
That’s how a cowboy says his good nights
That’s how a cowboy says his good nights
yodel
I walk back to the ranch, duck under a branch
hear the call of the loo-loo-loon
I light up the fireplace, soap up my hands and face
cuz dinner is soo-soo-soon
I kick off my boots and cook up some chow
toss out some meat to the old cats meow
I climb into my bunk and everything’s right
That’s how a cowboy says his good nights
That’s how a cowboy says his good nights
yodel
4.Wrapped in
a Rainbow
tucked tight ,in my bed
lots of pictures in my head
lights out, nite lite glow
eyes close
and I’m...
Wrapped in a rainbow warm and light
covered in colors, cozy tonite
twinkling glimmering, shimmery glow
when I close my eyes oh the places I go
each night I can find a new sleepy time show
tonite i’ll be safe and sound, right here,
and wrapped in a rainbow
wake up bright moonlight
a little scared but i’m alright
colors dancing and I yawn
dream on
that
I’m ...
Wrapped in a rainbow warm and light
covered in colors, cozy tonite
twinkling glimmering, shimmery glow
when I close my eyes oh the places I go
each night I can find a new sleepy time show
tonite i’ll be safe and sound, right here
and wrapped in a rainbow
sometimes I don’t go to sleep right away
but until I do I imagine and play
that I’m....
Wrapped in a rainbow warm and light
covered in colors, cozy tonite
twinkling glimmering, shimmery glow
when I close my eyes oh the places I go
each night I can find a new sleepy time show
tonite i’ll be safe and sound, right here,
and wrapped in a rainbow

7.When I Was
A Horse
It wasn’t too long ago...I breathed the air of the plains
I jumped and kicked and ran and ran
and danced in the pouring rains
light and dark, warm and cold...
In the heart of the earth a story’s told
of when I was a horse
My wild days there lasted only one year
freedom taken for free
the trailor back opened on a tiny ranch,
and they put a saddle on me
new rules, tiny fields...
but you, a boy and girl
were a refuge for this refugee
when I was a horse
when I was a horse
the best part was how you loved me
when I was a horse
I didn’t like the fences, I missed my family herd
I couldn’t understand you, all the kicks and all the words
but then a touch, your hug and click and coo
it was then that I learned “ I love you”
chorus
20 years I spent there with you,we grew up on the plains
we jumped and kicked and ran and ran,
and danced in the pouring rain
now I float in the light... am in the heart of the earth,
I am in your heart too like when I was a horse
can you feel me hold you
like when I was flesh and bone?
can you feel me hold you
you never ride alone
chorus 2x

9.Midnight on the Meadow
midnight on the meadow, day bows to the night
rainbows that have faded
stars that sparkle bright
and the valley sleeps, and the angels breathe a sigh
midnight on the meadow, misty purple grey
ponies that are resting
silent where they lay
and the earth collects the dew,
to begin another day
cool....wild....deep...free.......mystery of night
still....dark....calm....peace....all beyond the light
midnight on the meadow, sweet and evergreen
spirits that are rising
floating like a dream
and the blossoms close their buds, a world that can’t be seen
