THE L.A. FREEWAY SONG Have you ever lost your way While you were driving through L.A.? And did you notice all the places That you passed along the way? Just take the first initial Of each turn you had to guess And you will have a word which will Describe Los Angeles! “H” is for […]

Garbage
GARBAGE Mr. Thompson calls the waiter Orders steak and baked potater Then he leaves the bone and gristle And he never eats the skin The busboy comes and takes it With a cough contaminates it Then he throws it in a can With coffee grinds and sardine tins A truck comes by on Friday And […]
Man Oh Man I Can
This was written before computers took up all our spare time. Relationships with inanimate objects might not be all that fulfilling, but they are sure less complicated, (ya think?) MAN OH MAN I CAN! Intro: As a window dresser at Macy’s My future held nothing in store Until that day in the warehouse When I […]

Sandrock Canyon
A young man breaking the law to do something he thinks will please the young woman he’s trying to impress. Sometimes things don’t work out the way we planned, eh? SANDROCK CANYON Cho: I’ve been hiding up in Sandrock Canyon No one’s caught me cause there’s no one there It’s cold and lonely up in […]

Sometimes it’s a faster intervention to help someone change when we simply hold up a mirror so they can see for themselves some of the ridiculous positions they take. DOIN’ IT FOR YOU I treat you politely Baby, And so you can’t complain I hold the door when you go out An’ when you go […]
It’s Gonna Be Okay
I think relationships are the laboratories for us to figure out what “stuff” we’re supposed to be working on in this world of ours. John Lee, author of “The Flying Boy” once told me, “I can get out of a relationship, go off and rent a house in the desert and pull myself totally together! […]
Junk Food Junkie
My old pal Larry Groce (Mountain Stage) wrote this one. He sings so beautifully that he figured this silly song was just a throw-away, but I got his permission to record it and when Dr. Demento started getting airplay with my version, … Larry went out and recorded it and got his first hit record! […]
Stuck On You
This song is about “huffing”. It’s got some funny lines in it, but “huffing” isn’t funny. We want to at least get the subject out on the table with kids so we can discuss the detrimental effects of getting dizzy by cutting down your brain oxygen. STUCK ON YOU Cho: Stuck on you, stuck on […]
