"Curtis Wells: It's Like Living in a Monkey House Song" (sung to the theme of Sesame Street, written 11/97)

Muddy day,
Down around Missoula way,
Or is it way of Great Falls or Miles Ci-ty...
Can you tell me how to get....
How to get to Curtis Wells, MT?

Newt Dobbs Call,
Shoots 'em down and makes them fall.
Or he pins 'em against the wall to collect his boun-ty...
Can you tell me how to get....
How to get to Curtis Wells, MT?

Refrain:
When you see a man on the ground, then it's time to turn around
or you may get hit on the head,
Yes, you might get hit
hit on the head.

Clay Mosby,
He's a dandified S-O-B,
He wants to turn the town to be the Atlanta of his memory...
Can you tell me how to get....
How to get to Curtis Wells, MT?

Yes, that muddy city
Called Curtis Wells, MT!


Oh, Be Still, My Aching Heart (written by a fellow bad poet, Laurie Hutchinson; sung to the theme of Billy Ray Cyrus' Achey Breaky Heart, written 2/98)

Oh, Tell my heart.
My achey breakey heart.
Call just don't understand.
Mosby's just so cute.
Especially in his suit.
He might grow up and be my man.

Oh tell my heart,
My achey breakey heart,
Mosby just don't understand.
Call's so very cute.
Especially in his boots.
He might grow up and be my man.

Oh tell my heart,
My achey breakey heart,
The boys just don't understand.
They're both so very cute.
Why must I choose?
Can't I have both as my man?


Mosby: The Disco King (sung to Staying Alive by the Bee Gees, written 6/98)

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, God's kicked me around
since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the War's effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Well now, I get low and I get high,
and if I can't get either, I really try.
Got the wings of heaven on my shoes.
I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose. [Sidebar:  I guess this only applies in TS.]
You know it's all right. It's OK.
I'll live to see another day.
We can try to understand
the War's effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Railroad's goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Railroad's goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me yeah.

Stayin' alive.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I'm a woman's man: no time to talk.
Music loud and women warm, God's kicked me around
since I was born.
And now it's all right. It's OK.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
the War's effect on man.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

Railroad's goin' nowhere. Somebody help me.
Somebody help me, yeah.
Railroad's goin' nowhere. Somebody help me yeah.
I'm Stayin' alive.


Hey, Hey Luther's a Monkee! (sung to The Monkees by the Monkees, written 10/2/98)

Mosby (as the coach rolls into town):

Here he comes,
Driving down the street.
He's gets the funniest looks from
Everyone he meets.

All of CW:

Hey, hey, it is Luther!
And when that Luther's around
He's too busy drinking
To put anybody down!

Call:

He goes wherever he wants to,
Does what he likes to do
He only tends to get restless
When he wants something new (???)

All:

Hey, hey, It is Luther!
And people say when Luther's around
He's too busy wrestling
And then he throws everybody down

But he's only trying to be friendly
Come and watch him hit and play!
He's the young generation
And now he has something to say!

Luther:

Anytime or anywhere --
Just look over your shoulder,
Cause I'll be standing there!

Hey, Hey cuz I'm Luther!
They really love me in town!
I'm too busy funning
To really put someone down!

(Guitar riff)

Luther and All:

Hey hey it is Luther!
And people say that when Luther's around
He's too busy funning
To put anybody down!

He's just trying to be friendly!
Come and watch him sing and play!
He's the young generation,
And he's got something to say!

Mosby (aside, on top of his balcony):

Hey hey he's a monkey
It's like living in a monkey house
Ah, hell would people just go home --
There's really nothing to see! (Sorry, that was the only way I could fit that in.)

All:

Hey, hey, it is Luther!
Luther has come to town!

Hey hey it is Luther!
Hey hey it is Luther!
(fade out)


Luther Root (sung to the Monkee's Valleri, written 10/2/98)

Chorus:

Lu --u - u -u ther Root!
I love him!
Lu -- u -u -u ther Root!

There's a big guy I know
He makes me feel so good
And I wouldn't live without him
Even if I could

Lu -- u -u -u ther Root!

Oh, yeah!  Come on!

The way he did before (You know, girls, that transition between TS and TOY. What an improvement!!!)

I call him

Chorus:

Lu --u - u -u ther Root!
I love him!
Lu -- u -u -u ther Root! (oh, the harmony, baby)

(guitar riff)

I love him!

Chorus:

Lu --u - u -u ther Root!
I need him!
Lu -- u -u -u ther Root!

Mosby the Smoocher, (sung to Cab Calloway's Minnie the Moocher, written 5/00)

Folks, here's the story of Mosby, the smoocher.
He's a red-hot hoochie coocher.
He kisses Amanda, Hannah, and Florie,
And, boy, is that man hunkie-dorie!

Hi de hi de hi de HI
Ho-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
he de he de he de HE
Yae-ae-ae-ae!

He fell in love with a girl named Mary,
Went to war though it was scary.
Mary was killed at the end of the war,
And Mosby didn't know what to live for.

Hi de hi de hi de HI
Ho-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
Yae-ae-ae-ae-ae-ae!
Whoh-oh-oh-oh!

So he went out West though his heart was bleedin',
To look for things that he was needin'.
Mosby found Curtis Wells with Robert (his bud),
And suddenly the town was full of mud.

[tempo increases]
Hi de hi de hi de HI
Ho de ho de ho de HO!
Sceebeesceebeehoodlehoodlehoodlybop!
Boo-riggly-boo-riggly-boo-riggly-haw!

[tempo slows down]
Mosby bought the Pig's Eye and all the town,
But he couldn't keep that Newt Call down.
He tried to get the railroad and other ventures,
Thank goodness he doesn't need dentures.
[what else rhymes with ventures?]

Hi de hi de hi de HI
Whoh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey!
Whoh-oh-ey-oh!

Poor Mose, Poor Mose, Poor Mose!!!!!!!


The Mosbys of Old Virginia (Sing to the song "The Lees of Old Virginia" from "1776," written 8/00 [sorry no midi])

My name is Francis Clay Mosby
and Virginia was my home!
My name is Francis Clay Mosby
and Virginia was my home!
And may my horses turn to glue
If I can't deliver unto you
The railroad to Curtis Wells, MT!

For I was cer-tain-ly
the prettiest Mos-bee
in the southern state of Virginia!
For I was cer-tain-ly
the most charming Mos-bee
in the oldest state in America!
And may Call take my right hand
If I can't deliver unto this land
The railroad to this muddy city!

(The "Lee" part of the song)
For you see
It is "to be or not to be"
That's the question
I ask of me!

Finacial-ly
Charming-ly!
Everywhere I'm Clay Mos-bee!

Prettil-ly!
Dazzling - me!
I'm too pretty -- Clay Mosby!

For I'm cer-tain-ly
the only Mos-bee
In this terri-tory of new Montana!
For I'm cer-tain-ly the greatest Mos-bee
To grace this part of new Montana!
And may Florrie refuse my bed
If I can't deliver as I said
The railroad to this part of Montan-ny!

(skip to the end)
Forward, ho!


Some EVITA ideas (written 11/00)

Mosby sings (from his balcony with all the hand gestures):

Don't cry for me, Vir-gin-i-a!
The truth is I never left you!!!
All through my wild days, my mad existence
I'll keep my promise...
Don't keep your distance!

Then Call sings later (in disgust, as usual):

And the money kept rolling in from every side,
Mosby's pretty hands reached out and they reached wide!
And you may think a little of the cash has gone astray!
Thank God for Western Union etc etc

The Austinian Rhapsody (sung to Freddy Mercury's Bohemian Rhapsody written 2/01)

Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
I'm just a lost boy,I need to find out who's me-
Because I'm here and there, where to go?,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesn't really matter for me,
For me

Father, just took a bribe
Let the McSweens get away,
They came back, and they hit Clay,
Father, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away-
Father ooo,
Didn't mean to make you cry-
If I'm swinging at this time tomorrow-
Carry on, carry on, as I never really mattered-

Too late, my time has come,
Lord, how I could use some wine-
Body's aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-I've got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the rope-
Father ooo- (any way the wind blows)
Maybe I should die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the Fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,Galileo,
Galileo Galileo
Galileo figaro-Magnifico-
But I'm just a lost boy and nobody loves me-
He's just a lost boy from a Peale family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Here and there, where to go-,will you let me go-
That Newt Call! No-,we will not let you go-let him go-
That Newt Call! We will not let you go-let him go
That Newt Call! We will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Father Hannah,Father Hannah,Father Hannah let me go-
Clay Mosby has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
Call me a "scum-sucking-weasle" and let it just lie???
Oh baby-Can't do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

I don't really matter,
Anyone can see,
I don't really matter-,
I don't really matter to me,

Any way the wind blows....

Blue Eyes (written by Debra E., sung to Elton John's Blue Eyes, written 4/02)

Blue eyes Newton's got blue eyes
Like a deep blue sea
On a blue, blue day
Blue eyes
Newton's got blue eyes
When the morning comes
I'll be far away
And I say

Blue eyes
Holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Newton's got blue eyes
And he's alone again (SNIFF!)

Blue eyes
Newton's got blue eyes
Like a clear blue sky
Watching over me
Blue eyes
I love blue eyes
When I'm by his side
Where I long to be
I will see

Blue eyes squintin' in the sun
Laughing in the rain
Newton's got blue eyes
And I am home, and I am home again


Newt Call song (sing to Gaston from Disney's Beauty and the Beast, written 6/01):

No one's slick as Newt Call,
No one's quick as Newt Call,
No man's head is as incredibly thick as Newt Call's
For there's no man in town half as stubborn,
Bull-headed, a perfect stone wall!
Ask Mattie, Austin, or Josiah,
And they'll tell you that he's not very tall!

No one shoots like Newt Call,
Wears his boots like Newt Call,
In a fight no one settles disputes like Newt Call!
He's especially good at bounty hunting!
Wow, ten bucks for Newt Call!

Give five hurrahs! Give twelve hip-hips!
Newt Call is the best and the rest is so trips!!

No one fights like Newt Call,
does his lights like Newt Call,
In a pinch, nobody bites like Newt Call. (though I don't remember him biting anybody)
For there's no one as dirty and filthy,
As you see he's got bacteria to spare,
He might look a little scraggly but not scrawny,
And he has only his pretty vest to wear!

No one hits like Newt Call,
Matches wits like Newt Call,
In a spitting match nobody spits like Newt Call!
He's especially good at expectoring! PTUI!
Ten points for Newt Call!

When he was a lad, he ate beans and biscuits
every morning to help him be a man.
And now that he's grown, he asks about your eggs
And he hits your head with a frying PAN!!!

No one falls like Newt Call
Takes pratfalls like Newt Call
No one's head hurts quite at all like Newt Call's
He never learns to duck in all of his escapading

Say it again,
Who's the men of all men?
And let's say it once more ...
Who's our hero next door?
Who's a super success,
Don't you know? Can't you guess?
Ask his fans
And his Call girls who know ...
There's just one guy in town who's got all of it SO!

And his name ...
N- E- U
no
N-E-W
shucks
OH Newt Call!



Cracker Mosby (sing to Neil Diamond's Cracklin' Rosie, written in 1/02)

Cracker Mosby, make me smile...
God if its last for an hour, that's all right!
We got all night
To set the town right
Find us a dream that don't ask no questions yeah

(dropping down to a base)
OH, I love my Mosby man!
He got the way to make me happy!
You and me, we go in style...

(getting excited here)
Cracker Mose, your gris-gris summonin'
You make me sing like a guitar hummin;
So hang onto me, Mosby
Our song keeps runnin' on!!!

Play it now!!
Play it now!!
Play it now, OH MOSBY!!!


I Called CALL a Bad Name (written by Debra E., sung to Bon Jovi's You Give Love a Bad Name, written in 3/02)

How it happened, I cannot tell.
Call wants his bounty; he put me through hell
He chased me down and got a hold on me.
When Call has you prisoner, you can't break free.

Whoa-o
You're a loaded gun; yeah
Whoa-o
There's nowhere to run.
No one can save me; the damage is done.

[Chorus:]

Shot through the leg and now I'm lame
I called Call a bad name.
He made me beg and now I'm ashamed
cuz I called Call a bad name.

A great big gun is on his hip.
A surly snarl is on his lips.
He's taking me in; I asked him why.
None o' yer bizness was his terse reply.

Whoa-o
You're a loaded gun; yeah
Whoa-o
There's nowhere to run.
No one can save me; the damage is done.

[Chorus]

Shot through the leg and now I'm lame
I called Call a bad name.
He made me beg and now I'm ashamed
cuz I called Call a bad name.


Close to Call (sing to the Carpenter's Close to Call, written 4/02)

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time Call is near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to Call.

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time Call walks by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to Call.

On the day that Call was born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true!!!!
So they sprinkled moon dust in his
And golden starlight in his eyes of BLUE!!!!

That is why all the girls in town
Follow Call all around.
Just like me, they long to be
Close to Call.

Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to CALL!
Wahhhhhhhhhhh, close to CALL!
Hahhhhhhhhhhh, close to CALL!
Lahhhhhhhhhhh, close to CALL!


Sweet CALL of Mine (sing to Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline, written 4/02)

Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's
growin' strong

Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed
Call'd come along??

HANDS, touchin' HANDS
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
TOUCHIN' CALL!

Sweet CALL of mine (bum bum bum)
Good times never seemed so good!
I've been inclined (bum bum bum)
To believe they never would!

But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with CALL???

Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' CALL!

Sweet CALL of mine (bum bum bum)
Good times never seemed so good!
I've been inclined (bum bum bum)
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no

(EVERYBODY SING)
Sweet CALL of mine (bum bum bum)
Good times never seemed so good!
I've been inclined (bum bum bum)
To believe they never would!
SWEET CALL OF MINE!!!


My Call (sing to My Man, written 6/02)

Oh my Call, I love him so!
He'll never know!
Oh my life is just despair
Without Call there!
When he takes me in his muddy arms
The world is bright, and it's all right

What's the difference if I say
I'll go to Clay?
When I know I'll come back to Call again someday
For wherever my Call is I'm his forever more!

Thanks to Heart and Soul Music!


Can't Help Loving that Call of Mine (sing to Can't Help Loving that Man of Mine, written 6/02)

Fish gotta swim,
Birds gotta fly,
I gotta love one man till I die!
Can't help loving that Call of mine!

Tell me he's lazy,
Tell me he's short,
Tell me he's crazy,
And then I'll retort
Can't help loving that Call of mine!

When he goes away,
That's a rainy day
But when Call comes back
The day is fine, the sun will shine!

He can come home as late as can be,
Home without him ain't no home to me,
Can't help loving that Call of mine!

Thanks to Brent Stutzner's Transcriptions!


More Call (sing to More, written 11/02)

I know I've never lived before
And my heart is very sure
no else could ... LOVE ...CALL ... MORE!!!!

More than the greatest love the world has known
This is the love I'll give to Call alone
More than the simple words I try to say
I only live to love Call more each day

More than y'all will ever know
My arms long to hold CALL so
My life will be in Call's keeping
Waking, sleeping, laughing, weeping

Longer than always is a long, long time
and far beyond forever Call will be mine.
I know I've never lived before
And my heart is very sure
no else could love Call more.

No else could love Call more.

Thanks to Carmen E.'s Midi Corner!


Indian Love Call (written by Oscar Hammerstein)

When the lone lagoon
Stirs in the Spring,
Welcoming home some swanny white wing,

When the maiden moon,
Riding the sky, gathers her starry-eyed dream children nigh.
That is the time of the moon and the year,
When love dreams to Indian maidens appear.
And this is the song they hear:

When I'm calling you-oo-oo-oo!
Will you answer too-oo-oo-oo?

That means I offer my love to you to be your own.
If you refuse me I will be blue
And waiting all alone;

But if when you hear my love call ringing clear,
And I hear your answering echo, so dear,
Then I will know our love will come true.
You'll belong to me, I'll belong to you.

Thanks to Linda's Sounds of Romance!


Wanted Dead or Alive (with Debra E., inspired by Thicker than Water, sing to the Bon Jovi's Wanted Dead or Alive, written in 4/03)

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday it seems I'm wastin' away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I'd ride all night just to be all alone

[Chorus:]
I'm a cowboy, on a gray mare I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, sometimes it's not for days
And the people I meet always go their separate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you're alone all you do is think

[Chorus]

I walk these streets, a loaded shot gun on my back
I play for keeps, 'cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, still NOT standin' tall
I've seen a million faces an I've killed them all

I'm a cowboy, on a gray mare I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
I'm a cowboy, I got at BIG knife at my side
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive


Newtie's Girl (written by Debra E. in 4/03; sing to Rick Springfield's Jesse's Girl)

Newt Call is a pest
Yeah, I know that I shouldn't whine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Newtie's got himself a girl and I wanna make her mine

Hannah's watchin' him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Newt Call's girl
I wish that I had Newt Call's girl
I once had a woman like that.

I play along with the charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know I feel so dirty when they start talkin' cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot

Hannah's watchin' him with those eyes
And she's lovin' him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night

You know I wish that I had Newt Call's girl
I wish that I had Newt Call's girl
I once had a woman like that.

Like Newtie's girl
I wish that I had Newt Call's girl
I once had a woman . . .
I once had a woman like that.

And I'm lookin' in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny; I've been cool with the lines
And she looks so much like Mary to me

TELL ME!
Where can I find a woman like that?

You know I wish that I had Newt Call's girl
I wish that I had Newt Call's girl
I want Newtie's girl
I once had a woman like that.

Like Newtie's girl
I wish that I had Newt Call's girl
I want, I want Newtie's girl


The Nearness of Call (sing to The Nearness of You, written 10/03)

The moon is high, but I don't need the moon.
Its silver spell finds me more or less immune
Simply because

It's not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me
Oh no
It's just the nearness of Call!

It isn't his sweet conversation
That brings this sensation
Oh no
It's just the nearness of Call!

When he's in my arms and I feel him so close to me
All my wildest dreams come true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If he'll only grant me the right
To hold him ever so tight
And to feel in the night
The nearness of Call!

Thanks to Louserium's Midi Page!


Never Been to Butte (with Debra E.; sing to Three Dog Night's Never Been to Spain, written 10/03)

Never been to Butte,
But I've been to Miles City
They say it's kind of flat there
And isn't very pretty
Not very pretty
There in Miles City
What does it matter?
Oh what does it matter?

Well, I've never been to Mosby
But they say it's in Montana
He wore a leather duster
But not a red bandana
Mosby in Montana
No red bandana
What does it matter?
What does it matter?

I've never been to Billings
But I've been to Anaconda
I didn't stay too long there
But met a girl named Rhonda
In Anaconda
That girl named Rhonda
What does it matter?
What does it matter?

Well, I've never been to Dillon
But I've been to Curtis Wells
You know it's kind of muddy
And they got bars on the cells
In Curtis Wells
Bars on the cells
What does it matter?
What does it matter?

Thanks to Upchucky's Golden Oldie Requests!


If Ever I Would Leave Call (sing to If Ever I Would Leave You, written 10/03)

If ever I would leave Call,
It wouldn't be in summer
Seeing him in summer
I never would go!
His hair streaked with sunlight,
His lips in a smirk,
His face in a grimace when Austin's a jerk!

But if ever I'd leave Call,
How could it be in autumn?
How I'd ever leave in autumn
I never would know!
I've seen how he shivers
When fall nips the air
I know him in autumn
And I must be there!

And could I leave him hunting silently through the snow
Or on a wintry evening when he catches the fire's glow?

If ever I would leave Call
How could it be in springtime?
Knowing how in spring
I'm bewitched by him so!

Oh no, not in springtime,
Summer, winter, or fall!
No, never could I leave Call
At All!

Thanks to RML Creations MIDI Archives!


It's a Call World (with Debra E.in 1/04; sing to It's a Small World)

It's a world of grunting, a world of mud,
It's a world of smirking, a world blood.
We don't know if you care,
But he rides a gray mare!
It's a Call, Call world!!!!

It's a Call world after all!
Not a tall world after all!
It's a Call world after all!
It's a Call, Call world!!!!

It's a world of bounties, a world of fear,
It's a world of slouching, a world of beer,
We don't know if you dare
Go against his blue stare!
It's a Call, Call world!!!

Thanks to Polka Player Selections!


My Muddy Valentine (written by Debra E. in 2/04; sing to My Funny Valentine)

My muddy valentine
Short, surly valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your eyes are oh so blue
And how much I love you!
Yes, you're my favorite work of art

Are you so very tough
Is your speech a little gruff
I can never get enough
Of you, Oh Call!

But don't wash your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, muddy valentine, stay!
Each day is valentine's day

Are you so very tough
Is your speech a little gruff
I can never get enough
Of you, Oh Call!

But don't wash your hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, muddy, stay!
Each day is valentine's day

Thanks to After Hours at Midnight Midis!


I Wanna Hold Your Gun (with Debra E. in 5/04; sing to the Beatles' I Wanna Hold Your Hand)

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
I think that you're the one.
When I say that something,
I wanna hold your gun!!!
I wanna hold your gun!
I wanna hold your gun!

Oh please, say to me
That we can have some fun.
Oh please, say to me
You'll let me hold your gun!!
Now let me hold your gun!
I wanna hold your gun!

And when I touch it, I feel happy inside,
There's so much feeling that your gun
You can't hide! You can't hide! You can't hide!

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
I think that you're the one.
When I say that something,
I wanna hold your gun!!!

I wanna hold your gun! I wanna hold your gun!

Thanks to Beatle's Hits!


Colonel Mosby's Southern Outlaw Band (with Debra E. in 5/04; sing to the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band)

It was twenty years ago today
Colonel Francis changed his name to Clay
They've been riding throughout the West
Just to see what Yankees they could best
So let me introduce to you
That gang you've known for all these years
Colonel Mosby's Southern Outlaw Gang

We're Colonel Mosby's Southern Outlaw Gang
You know because you've watched the show
We're Colonel Mosby's Southern Outlaw Gang
We never thought we'd sink this low
Colonel Mosby's Southern
Colonel Mosby's Southern
Colonel Mosby's Southern Outlaw Gang!

It's wonderful to rob you
And we try not to kill
But give us all the loot you've got
We want to take it home with us
We need to take it home

I don't really want to stop the show
But I thought you might like to know
We're coming to your town tonight
And we hope you won't put up a fight
So let me introduce to you
Robert Shelby and the rest
of Colonel Mosby's Southern Outlaw Gang!!

Thanks to Keby's Place - The BEATles!


I Think I Love Call (with Debra E. in 5/04; sing to the Partridge Family's I Think I Love You)

Ba, ba, ba, ba.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

I'm sleeping
And right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up
From something that keeps pounding at my brain.
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed
Screaming out the words I dread:
"I think I love CALL!"

This morning
I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with
And so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And didn't I go and shout it
When you walked into my room.
"I think I love CALL!"

I think I love CALL.
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that he'll just shoot me
Because he's so damn surly.

I think I love CALL.
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I never felt this way with Clay.

I don't know what I'm up against.
I don't know what it's all about.
I got so much to think about.

I think I love CALL.
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that he'll just shoot me
Because he's so damn surly.

I think I love CALL.
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I never felt this way with Clay.

Believe me,
He really won't have to worry.
I only want to make him happy
And if he says,
"Now git away," I will, but I think better stay,
I'd better stay around and love him.
Will he think I have a case?
When I ask him to his face:
Do you think you love me?

I think I love CALL.
Oh, I think I love CALL.
Oh, I think I love CALL.
Oh, I think I love CALL.
Oh, I think I love CALL.
Oh, I think I love CALL.
Oh, I think I love CALL.
Oh, I think I love CALL.
Oh, I think I love CALL.


I'm in the Mood for Mose (written 5/04; sing to I'm in the Mood for Love)

I'm in the mood for Mose
Simply because he's near me
Funny, but when he's near me
I'm in the mood for Mose

Heaven is in his eyes
Bright as the stars he's under
Oh, is it any wonder?
I'm in the mood for Mose

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But for tonight forget it
I'm in the mood for Mose

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
Let's put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain, we'll let it
But, for tonight, forget it
I'm in the mood for Mose

Thanks to Nostalgic MIDI Music!


Bounty Hunter (written 6/04; sing to Foreigner's "Juke Box Hero")

Standing in the street, there was a gun to her head.
He threw down his weapson, and screamed instead
When he saw the flames, soaring up to the sky,
He knew Hannah was gone, and he felt his soul die.

He had to leave, had to get away
Had to leave town the very next day

Headed out on the Hell Bitch, he was on the run
Didn't take long before he lived by the gun

That one big gun, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long to understand
Just one big gun, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started shooting, was never gonna stop
Had to keep on shooting
And watch those bodies drop

And be a BOUNTY HUNTER, got pain in his eyes
He's a BOUNTY HUNTER
He took one big gun
BOUNTY HUNTER pain in his eyes
BOUNTY HUNTER dead or alive tonight

In the town of Curtis Wells, he made his return
Didn't know his own way, yet his beating heart yearned
For the day before the flames, to that time in the past
When he knew who he was, when he didn't need to blast

And he needs to keep on shooting,
he just can't stop
Had to keep on shooting, and
watch those bodies drop

And be a BOUNTY HUNTER, got pain in his eyes
He's a BOUNTY HUNTER pain in his eyes
He's a BOUNTY HUNTER pain in his eyes
BOUNTY HUNTER dead or alive tonight

And he needs to keep on shooting,
he just can't stop
Had to keep on shooting, and
watch those bodies drop

And be a BOUNTY HUNTER, got pain in his eyes
He's a BOUNTY HUNTER pain in his eyes
BOUNTY HUNTER
BOUNTY HUNTER
BOUNTY HUNTER
He's got pain in his eyes
Pain in his eyes


I Have a Love (words by Steven Sondheim)

I have a love, and it's all that I have.
Right or wrong, what else can I do?
I love him; I'm his,
And everything he is
I am, too.
I have a love, and it's all that I need,
Right or wrong, and he needs me, too.
I love him, we're one;
There's nothing to be done,
Not a thing I can do
But hold him, hold him forever,
Be with him now, tomorrow
And all of my life!

When love comes so strong,
There is no right or wrong,
Your love is your life!


Tonight (written 7/04; sing to "Tonight" from "West Side Story")

Only Newt
he's the only thing I'll see forever.
In my eyes,
In my words and in everything I do,
nothing else but Newt ever

And there's nothing for me but Newt Call
every sight that I see is Newt Call

Newtie! Newtie!

Always Newt, every thought I'll ever know,
every where I go,
he'll be-----------------. (All the world is only him and me!)
him and me-----------------------

Tonight, tonight, it all began tonight
I saw Newt and the world went away
tonight, tonight,
there's only Newt tonight,
what Newt is what Newt does, what Newt says.---------------

Today,
all day I had the feeling a miracle would happen
I know know I was right
for here Newt is and what was just a world is a star tonight!--------

Tonight, tonight,
the world is full of light,
with suns and moons all over the place.
Tonight, tonight, the world is wild and bright,
going mad shooting sparks into space.
Today,
the world was just an address,
a place for me to live in,
no better than all right,
but here Newt is,
and what was just a world is a star
Tonight....--------------

...Goodnight, goodnight
sleep well and when you dream,
dream of Newt
tonight!
