So Long Dad

Home again And the streets are not much cleaner And the quaint old south side scenery Is quaint no more Just older than before Go up the stairs and down the hallway To my daddy's door Your son is home, Dad, and he's found a girl And she's the greatest girl in all the world I think you'll like her, Dad, I hope you do But if you don't that's alright, too What's new? Do you still work at the drugstore, is that true? Still polishing the same floor I miss my good old Dad My, but I'm glad to see you Home again But we won't be staying here, Dad Come and see us, Poppa, when you can There'll always be a place for my old man Just drop by when it's convenient to Be sure and call before you do So long, Dad

I Think He's Hiding

If the big boy comes tomorrow There'll be no more teardrops There'll be no more sorrow If the big boy comes tomorrow Will he take you with him? Have you been good? Have you been bad? You haven't lived the way you should You wish you had When the big boy brings his fiery furnace Will he like what he sees? Or will he strike the fire and burn us? Oh, he's so great and he's so straight And you know he's watching Have you been good? Have you been bad? Things don't go the way they should Makes me sad Come on, big boy, come and save us Come and look at what we've done With what you gave us Now I've heard it said That our big boy's dead But I think he's hiding I think he's hiding I think he's hiding

Linda

Seven ships without a sail Seven cats without a tail Boy, it's weird here on this spooky old pier tonight But I'm not frightened 'cause I know what it is Everything is just the same as it was I'm in trouble because of Linda She hurt me so badly She say she'd be here on our special pier, I love her Linda, the carousel's playing But that merry-go-round is bringing me down 'Cause I remember what it meant to you Linda, Linda I love you

Laughing Boy

Ah da da da da da da Ah da da da da da da da Ah da da da da da da Ah da da da da da da Laughing boy, keep moving Keep moving, keep moving Laughing boy, keep moving Keep moving, keep moving Find a clown and grind him down He may just be laughing at you An unprincipled and uncommitted Clown can hardly be permitted To sit around and laugh at What the decent people try to do Laughing boy, keep moving Keep moving, keep moving Laughing boy, keep moving Keep moving, keep moving Ah da da da da da da Ah da da da da da da da Ah da da da da da da Ah da da da da da da

Cowboy

Cold gray buildings where a hill should be Steel and concrete closing in on me City faces haunt the places I roam alone Cowboy, cowboy Can't run, can't hide Too late to fight now Too tired to try
Trumpet Solo
Wind once blew free Now scatters dust to the sky Cowboy, cowboy Can't run, can't hide Too late to fight now Too tired to try

The Beehive State

Since you're the delegate from Kansas Will you kindly take the floor And tell us what is Kansas thinking And what is Kansas for? Well, Kansas is for the farmer We stand behind the little man And we need a firehouse in Topeka So help us if you can Ah da da, da da, da da da Ah da da, da da, da da Ah da da da, da da, da da da I see the gentleman from Utah Our friendly Beehive state How can we help you, Utah? How can we make you great? Well, we got to irrigate our deserts We've got to get some things to grow And we got to tell this country about Utah 'Cause nobody seems to know Ah da da, da da, da da da Ah da da, da da, da da Ah da da da, da da, da da da

Davy The Fat Boy

I've been his friend Since we were little babies I was a comfort to his mother And a pal to his dad Before they passed away They say, "Take care of our Davy You may be the only friend He ever will have" Davy, the fat boy Davy, the fat boy Isn't he round? Isn't he round? What do he weigh, folks? Can you guess what he weigh? You know, it's only a quarter Win a teddy bear for the girlfriend Or something for the wife You've got to let this fat boy in your life I think we can persuade him to do The famous fat boy dance for you Give me half a chance I just know you'll like my fat boy's dance
Instrumental Break
Davy, the fat boy Davy, the fat boy Isn't he Isn't he round?
