Perhaps I fall in love too easily

(How many song titles can you find in this story?)

Perhaps I fall in love too easily but last night I had the craziest dream.

In my dream you were my melancholy baby. I wrote you love letters and sang you a moonlight serenade. I invited you to walk with me on the stairway to the stars. I said “Close your eyes and let’s fall in love.”

You said, “I’ve heard that song before; let’s not fall in love”.

Now my emotions are runnin’wild and I am the poor soul who sees no moon at all

Even though I’m on the street where you live and I’m getting sentimental over you, still I can’t get started with you. I guess I’m just a prisoner of love.

Perhaps someday my silent love will be fulfilled and you will love me at last. Perhaps the skylark will lead you to me. It could happen to you while we’re young.

Our honeymoon could be on a slow boat to China. Elder couples, charmed by us, would say, “Hello, young lovers!”.

Redheaded Sasquatch for Jesus

People don’t believe in Jesus like they could.
People don’t respect God as they should.
God blessed America, He made it free.
The Lord gave this country to you and to me!

I’m just a redheaded Sasquatch for Jesus,
Livin’ on this guilty sod.
I’m goin’ to heaven (just not Yeti)
I’m just a Bigfoot for God!

People don’t believe I exist.
They wonder how I could subsist.
They claim that I’m just a hoax.
They make abominable jokes!

I’m just a redheaded Sasquatch for Jesus,
Livin’ on this guilty sod.
I’m goin’ to heaven (just not Yeti)
I’m just a Bigfoot for God!

People don’t believe that we’re real.
So Jesus, we’ll both make a deal.
You believe in me and I’ll believe in You.
Together we’ll both do God’s Will!

I’m just a redheaded Sasquatch for Jesus,
Livin’ on this guilty sod.
I’m goin’ to heaven (just not Yeti)
I’m just a Bigfoot for God!

Nine feet of Bigfoot for God!
Another foot soldier for God!
Livin’ my whole life for God!

The Donut Connection
(sing to The Rainbow Connection)

You said that we could meet
And talk and have coffee
And munch on a donut (or two).

I picked the time and place
And gave you directions,
But you’re late
And I wonder why.

Now I’m just sitting here
Fretting and fuming…
It seems like a lifetime to me,

But someday you’ll find it,
The Donut Connection,
The coffee, the creamer, and me.

Donuts with chocolate cream?
I think that I’ll likely have three!

Don’t You Dawdle

You say that you’re just killin’ time,
Or is it time that’s killin’ you?
It’s not too late; it’s not past time,
To start to find a fun pastime.

Don’t you dawdle and don’t delay.
Try to find a better way.
The sun is shinin’, so let’s make hay!
It’s time to start a brand new day!

Me-o-my-o! Don’t time fly?
I’m havin’ fun, that’s not a lie.
I’m so plucky…you wonder why?
I’m not lucky, it’s ‘cause I try!

Don’t you dawdle and don’t delay.
Try to find a better way.
The sun is shinin’, so let’s make hay!
It’s time to start a brand new day!

Another day in paradise!
Another day in ecstasy!
Life is ducky, can’t you see?
It’s just like this eternally!

Don’t you dawdle and don’t delay.
Try to find a better way.
The sun is shinin’, so let’s make hay!
It’s time to start a brand new day!

To Be a Mountaineer

It’s a good night to be a Mountaineer wherever you may be.
It’s a good night to be a Mountaineer whatever you may see.
From Huntington to Martinsburg,
From Morgantown to Parkersburg,
It’s a good night to be a Mountaineer wherever you may be.

It’s a good day to be a Mountaineer no matter where you are.
It’s a good day to be a Mountaineer no matter near or far.
Sometimes we move to “foreign parts”,
But West Virginia keeps our hearts.
It’s a good day to be a Mountaineer no matter where you are.

It’s a good time to be a Mountaineer whatever work you do.
It’s a good time to be a Mountaineer, we all depend on you.
You cut the timber, you work the mines,
You build our homes, you teach young minds.
It’s a good time to be a Mountaineer whatever work you do.

It’s a great life to be a Mountaineer as long as you’re with me.
It’s a great life to be a Mountaineer, our love is strong, you see.
We stick together through thick and thin,
We play together, we play to win!
It’s a great life to be a Mountaineer as long as you’re with me.
