Let me tell you Years ago When folks conversed They simply spoke They smiled and Used good diction And the audience Could listen Well today The only sound Comes from units That they pound Eye contacts Not a fact As the little keys They tap Oh I wish We could reverse This failure To converse

Sittin around lookin at the telly This great chick showed, just right for Jelly She had a kind of crazy bounce and everything where it counts I'm gonna get this chick someday Not gonna let her get away She had picked nice groovy clothes So the good stuff always shows Her skirt was short and real nice legs This girl is one I'm gonna peg I'm gonna get this chick someday Not gonna let her get away SPOKEN Do U C what's happening here? I'm not interested in a 1 interaction I'm pursuing U on purpose I've only seen U maybe once or twice But I want 2 B with U 4 a lifetime I want 2 B committed 2 U Fellas I couldn't like her more Here is where I'd like 2 score Make her mine, Oh yeah, Oh yeah Make her mine ---- Sung lyrics: SrCoops Spoken lyrics: The Jelly Factory!

When he played poorly, nine times out of ten He'd take it out on the boy working for him After he swung and hit a loser He smacked the club - that ugly bruiser The man was mean Without a doubt The caddies hated To take him out He'd smack the handle in the boy's hand At last, the caddie took a stand Fifteen had a big ravine with a bridge high o'er the creek When the bully smacked his hand revenge was what he seeked The man was mean Without a doubt The caddies hated To take him out He took the bag off his back and held it upside down And dumped the bag and clubs down in the creek to drown He never worked another day but it didn't bother him He smiles when he remembers when the golf clubs took a swim The man was mean Without a doubt The caddies hated To take him out

Here in Cleveland We had a man John Adams Was his name Who brought An old bass drum He beat at Indians Baseball games The years went by The seasons passed John was ever faithful He never missed a game There in the outfield bleachers He sat on the top row He gave the kids the mallets To pound it when they came Now the drum sits silent John has passed away But in our hearts the drumming Keeps on just the same

I found an old suitcase Filled with photographs The photos came from long ago The clothing made me laugh Although the faces Were solemn and stern Most were quite happy As we study and learn They worried about family Just like you and me And worked very hard I n the land of the free All of them passed A long time ago But they laid the foundation For the path we should go

At breakfast this morning A fellow picked up my check it brought a smile to my face And one more strange effect Of course this act brought A happy mood in me But it also made him happy A mood that you could see I've done this several times myself The outcome never changes A smile comes out on him and you Is what this trick arranges So next time you're having breakfast Pick one with a solomn face And it won't be very long until His long face you'll replace
7.
Some may like A night on the town All dressed up In a fancy gown But me, I prefer Being home alone Just you and me And no telephone Just sitting by you And holding your hand Beats everthing else Its something grand So if somebody calls And invites us to go Be nice and polite But just tell them no
8.
As I grow old The parts go bad Don't have the skills That I once had The knees went first They hurt like mad There went some skills That I once had Next the back Declared I quit All I could do Was sit A lot of others Went from there But at least I still have hair
9.
After all these years We know each thing There are no secrets Behind the ring After all these years After all these years Since our marriage So very long ago We've learned each thing There is to know After all these years After all these years When we can sense That things aren't right We get things straight Before the night After all these years After all these years After all these years What a joy It's been with you Loving each other Since we were 22 After all these years After all these years

When I was small I thought I'd be A running back For all to see Or maybe I'd be Boss to all With a fancy office Down the hall The girls would flock To be my date Now wouldn't that Be something great When I was small When I was small Now that I'm grown And lived my life I'm really happy With my wife Now that I’m grown Now that I’m grown My job was not One of the few But it suited me Was fun to do I'm looking back On a life well lived I gave it all That I could give When I was small When I was small
