Bill from NYC Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Just then the wind, Came squalling through the door, But who can, the weather command? Just want to have, a little peace to die, And a friend or two I love, At hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy! Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch Imagination sets in, pretty soon I'm singin' Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door Giant doin' cartwheels, statue wearin' high heels Look at all the happy creatures dancin' on the lawn Dinosaur Victrola list'nin' to Buck Owens Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door Tambourines and elephants are playin' in the band Won't you take a ride on the flyin' spoon? Doo, doo, doo Wond'rous apparition provided by magician Doo, doo, doo, lookin' out my back door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I looked outside my window and what do you think I saw? The strangest sight I've ever seen you'll never guess just what I mean, I can't believe it myself I saw 2 Buffalos, 2 Buffalos, Buffalos on my lawn, Romping all around and stomping on the ground And all of my grass was gone.

WhoTom Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 If I had my way, I'd shuffle off to Buffalo Sit by the lake, and watch the world go by Ladies in the sun, listenin' to the radio Like flowers on the sand, the rainbow in my mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I'll (You'll) go home and get my panties, You (I'll) go home and get your scanties, And away we'll go. Mm mm mm... Off we're gonna shuffle, Shuffle off to Buffalo. To Niag'ra in a sleeper, There's no honeymoon that's cheaper, And the train goes slow. Ooh ooh ooh! Off, we're gonna shuffle, Shuffle off to Buffalo. Someday, the stork may pay a visit And leave a little souvenir. Just a little cute "what is it," But we'll discuss that later, dear. For a little silver quarter, We can have the pull man porter Turn the lights down low. Ooh! Off we're gonna shuffle, Shuffle off to Buffalo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Good times, these are the good times Leave your cares behind, these are the good times Good times, these are the good times Our new state of mind, these are the good times A rumor has it that it's getting late Time marches on, just can't wait The clock keeps turning, why hesitate You silly fool, you can't change your fate Let's cut the rug, little jive and jitterbug We want the best, we won't settle for less Don't be a drag, participate Clams on the half shell and roller skates, roller skates Good times, these are the good times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Beard Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 In the days of my youth I was told what it was to be a man Now I've reached the age I've tried to do all those things the best I can No matter how I try I find my way to do the same old jam Good times, bad times You know I had my share When my woman left home With a brown eyed man Well, I still don't seem to care Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Me and my brother were talking to each other 'Bout what makes a man a man Was it brain or brawn, or the month you were born We just couldn't understand Our old man didn't like our appearance He said that only women wear long hair So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother We knew what we had to do We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium And got our arms tattooed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
