LEMON DROP

 

Oh, I’d rather suck on a lemon drop

Than to try my luck on a lollipop

Cause I always drop my lollipop

And it gets all over icky.

 

Oh, it make me sick: the way it smears,

It gets all in my hair and ears.

With a jelly bean I’m always clean,

But a lollipop, oh, icky!

 

I’d rather suck on a lemon drop

Than to try my luck on a lollipop

For a lemon drop is nice and clean

And a lollipop is sticky.

 


                LEPROSY

            By Barb Graves

 

Leprosy!  Oh my gosh, I must have leprosy!

There goes my eyeball into your highball!

There goes my fingernail into your ginger ale!

Kiss me quick!  There goes my upper lip!

There goes my lower lip into your chippy dip!

Oh my gosh, I can’t finish the rest.

There goes my chest!  Boom boom boom boom

 

 


                LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH

                                By Sy Miller

 

Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.

Let there be peace on earth, the peace that was meant to be.

With God as our Father, brothers all are we;

Let me walk with my brother in perfect harmony.

 

Let peace begin with me, let this be the moment now.

With every step I take let this be my solemn vow:

To take each moment, and live each moment in peace eternally –

Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me!

 

 


                LIBERTY

 

One day I was walkin’ down a lonely road.

Saw a young man toting a heavy load.

 

Chorus:                 And he was saying, “I wanna be free.

                                Won’t someone help me?  I wanna be free!”

                                Oh where is liberty?

                                And still the trees reach upward to the sky.

                                And still the white clouds go on drifting by.

                                And yet, why must so many people die

                                In search of liberty?

 

Down in the dustbowl there stood a lonely man.

His crops were all withered and covered with dust and sand.

 

Repeat chorus.

 

One day I was walking by a city park.

Saw small boys chasing a boy who scared and dark.

 

Repeat chorus.

 

 


                LINGER

 

Mm-mm…I want to linger here

Mm-mm…a little longer dear

Mm-mm…a little longer here with you.

 

Mm-mm…It’s such a perfect night

Mm-mm…it doesn’t seem quite right

Mm-mm…that this should be my last with you.

 

Mm-mm…And come September

Mm-mm…I will remember

Mm-mm…our camping days and friendships true.

 

Mm-mm…And as the years go by

Mm-mm…I’ll think of you and sigh

Mm-mm…This is good luck and not goodbye.

 

 


                LITTLE CANOE

 

He took me out in a little canoe and the moon was shining all around.

He dipped his paddle to and fro and it didn’t even make a sound.

So, we talked and we talked till the moon grew dim.

He said, “You better kiss me or get out and swim.”

So, what you gonna do in a little canoe with the moon shining all around?

                LITTLE RABBIT FU-FU

 

Little rabbit Fu-fu hopping through the forest,

Scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head.

Down came the Good Fairy and she said,

“Little rabbit Fu-fu, I don’t want to see you

Scooping up the field mice and bopping them on the head!”

I’ll give you (three) chances, and if you don’t behave,

I’ll turn you into a hairy goon!”

 

So, the next day…

 

(Repeat with (two) and (one) chances.)

 

“I’ve given you three chances and you didn’t behave.

So I’m going to turn you into a hairy goon!”

When the way is rough and the going’s tough,

You fall down on your knees and ask the Lord to help you learn

The reason for your trouble is the way you live your life

The sin that fills each day of life, I’m sure it’s there in yours.

 

Chorus:                 Lord, won’t you lead me.  Lord, won’t you guide me.

The foundation on which to stand, God’s strength will be all yours

Almighty God will be your all, your self will only die.

 

Repeat chorus.

 

My God is great, His love strong, His patience long endures

The sin that fills each day of life, I’m sure it’s there in yours.

So give Him strength and give Him power, and follow His commands

Almighty God will be your all, your self will only die.

 

Repeat chorus.

 

Bow down your head and pray:  “Lead me, Lord.  Guide me, Lord.

Let me walk by your side evermore.”
