''a "conservative" Christmas song''
a place for jotting down lyrics to songs in progress
 
<poem>
When the world is piling snow on everything in sight
It's so nice to know your parachute is safe and tight
Never mind the human race
You know you've earned your place
They deserve to freeze if they're sleeping in the streets tonight.
 
  Chorus:
    So [http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/Pulling_Up_The_Ladder pull the ladder up] behind you this Christmas
    If you help too much then it shows you don't really care.
    Keep everyone in their place this Christmas
    'Cuz they make you feel higher up when they stay down there.
 
When Santa's bringing gifts to all the girls and boys
Make sure he's paid full retail for all those toys.
So some people are in need
Why not just let them bleed?
They could always come inside; they've made their choice.
 
With earnings you can hide, and poor people outside
 
 
Watching people freeze
Puts a great big smile on a job-creator's face
 
 
Give everything you can to your local retail chain
 
Gas was better when it wasn't safe, no matter what they've said
Don't let that socialist Santa Claus pry your guns out from your paws
For Christmas dinner this year everyone will have their fill of lead.
 
  Chorus:
    So [http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/Pulling_Up_The_Ladder pull the ladder up] behind you this Christmas
    If you help too much then it shows you don't really care.
    Keep everyone in their place this Christmas
    'Cuz they make you look higher up when they stay down there.
 
    So pull the ladder up behind you this Christmas
    Keep everyone in their place for goodness' sake.
</poem>

<poem>
Can we go back where we were tomorrow yesterday?
There's a little man in a big white house
I wasn't finished wandering, there wasn't time to play
And he doesn't know what to do
You say there's lots of work to do
All the things he planned aren't working out
And lots of bills to pay
And nobody will do what he tells them to.


Okay
He wanders around trying to find the lights
We'll be back again
The people who know, he sent away
Some day
His friends only know what he tells them about
 
So they're alone all together in the dark they made.
Can I have my feelings back tomorrow yesterday?
I really wasn't happy when you took them all away
I don't know where you've taken them
I really couldn't say
 
Okay
They'll be back again
Some day
 
Can we have the future back tomorrow yesterday?
I wasn't finished dreaming

===Gray Christmas===
<poem>
I'm looking at a gray Christmas
Not like the ones we used to know
When the globe is warming
There'll be no snow forming
Just a winter mix to make the traffic slow
 
I'm looking at a gray Christmas
Not like the ones we used to know
Now the climate's changing
It's re-arranging
The jet stream, and what happens down below
 
I'm looking at a gray Christmas
Without a flake of snow in sight
May you enjoy December
As you remember
When all your Christmases were white.
</poem>
===D'Oh, A Goof===
''to the tune of "Doe, a Deer"
 
: '''D'oh!''' - a goof, a major goof
: '''Yay.''' - an apathetic cry
: '''Gee...''' -
: '''Blah''' - a day without much fun
 
===Take a Nap on Me===
''a song for Pip''
 
:If I'm trying to work
:And you know my lap is free
:Though I'm quite busy
:Take a nap on me
:If you lay your furry head
:So it's in the way
:Then you'll be very sure
:Nothing's done today
===Be a Man===
<poem>
With all the spots of an aging liver
With all the grace of a drunk baboon
With all the sense of a roaring fire
Incisive as the sharp side of a spoon


With all the charm of a raging lawyer
He thought he could keep out the bad guys
By building a wall to the sun
But the bad guys are here, 'cause he brought them himself
And now we all know that he's also one.
</poem>

a place for jotting down lyrics to songs in progress

Untitled #1

(Sung kind of like The Ramones meet "Not Fade Away")

Now hush little baby, this won't take long
Mama gonna sing you a rock 'n' roll song
Gonna tell you all about the birds 'n' the bees
'N' the people who work for the record companies

Nursery Rhyme

There's a little man in a big white house
And he doesn't know what to do
All the things he planned aren't working out
And nobody will do what he tells them to.

He wanders around trying to find the lights
The people who know, he sent away
His friends only know what he tells them about
So they're alone all together in the dark they made.

He thought he could keep out the bad guys
By building a wall to the sun
But the bad guys are here, 'cause he brought them himself
And now we all know that he's also one.
