Daily Drops

Бабуля-Огурец (Cucumber Granny)
1. Когда сынок был маленький,
    То он просил всегда,
    Чтобы ему про Карлсона 
    Я сказку прочитал. 
    И пусть, придя с работы, 
    Я хотел чертовски спать,	
    Собравшись из последних сил, 
    Наш старый фильмоскоп тащил, 
    В игрушках пленку находил
    И начинал читать.
ПРИПЕВ           
    Как бы в тот вечер я ни устал, 
    Но, к счастию, даже тогда понимал:
    Детство дается один только раз.
    Вот предо мной оно  - здесь и сейчас. 
 2.  "Читаешь ты неправильно", - 
    Сыночек мой сказал,
    Когда на пятом кадре
    Я позорно задремал,
    Но продолжал нести во сне
    Какой-то странный бред,
    Что Фрекенбок там Карлсона, 
    В рассвете лет прекрасного, 
    С пропеллером, несчастного,
    Сварила на обед.
ПРИПЕВ            
    Годы промчались, как дети гурьбой.
    Но всей семьей мы смеёмся порой,
    Стоит напомнить, как сын мой сказал:                            
    "Сказку ты, папа, не так прочитал!"
3. Про зебру полосатую, 
    Что в Африке жила, 
    Сынок стишок рассказывал,  
    А бабушка пекла 
    На кухне с вишней пирожки.                                    
    Тогда, представьте вы,
    Изрек наш маленький наглец:
    "А ты, бабуля,  - огурец,
    Полосками расчерчен 
    От копыт до головы!"
ПРИПЕВ           
    Жизнь состоит из таких мелочей,
    Как первого шага и слова детей.
    Сердце открой и глаза распахни,
    Ты научись их ценить и пойми,
       Что лучшее время и лучшие дни - 
          Те, что проводим с семьей и детьми.

Yoda's First Girlfriend

Most small towns have something they're known for;  it might be a building or a statue, or some famous person who lived there.  When I was a Baptist pastor forty years ago in the little town of St Francis, Kansas, it was the "Walkin' Boys.  Not exactly "boys", they were three middle-aged brothers who were probably autistic and lived at the local nursing home called "The Village".  Their parents made provision for them to live there after they passed away so they would be well taken care of.  What made them so memorable was they would venture out every day from the Village regardless of the weather and walk the length of the town, checking their post office box, stopping in at the jewelry store to have their watches set, then proceed out to the cemetery to pay their respects to their parents, then return to the Village.  They would make this three mile trip three times a day if the weather wasn't too extreme, and you could almost set your watch by when they would pass by.  I felt they needed a song, and it is one that's still remembered by those who knew them. I understand the last of the Walkin' Boys passed away just a few years ago having lived to a ripe old age of course--they walked every day:)  The song also features my singing; something that got lost along the way some years ago. You'll also hear a little tape hiss; it was mastered from a forty-year-old cassette:)
Lyrics:
It's another sunshiny morning in our little town,
The air is crisp and clear, a little snow left on the ground,
Then I look up Benton Street and guess who's coming down,
It's those Walkin' Boys, those Walkin' Boys are coming around.

Well they call the Village home but don't spend much time there,
They spend their time a walkin' 
And what folks think they don't much care,
And the season doesn't matter they still take the dare,
To tread in summer's heat or old man winter's frigid air.
Chorus:
Walkin' Boys where you goin'
Walkin' Boys who do you know,
Walkin' Boys seldom have a word to say. 
All dressed up in dungarees,
Smoking their pipes as proud as you please,
Walkin' Boys where you going today?

They start out from the Village for their daily chore,
They check their mail box then walk to Stewart's jewelry store, 
And with their watches set they go on out the door
Headed for the graveyard then return to go once more.

Boys you may not know me but I think you're grand.
I used to think you strange, but now I better understand,
That you are the way you are because of God's own hand,
You're special to our town and unique in all the land.
Chorus 2:
Walkin' Boys where you goin'
Walkin' Boys who do you know,
Walkin' Boys seldom have a word to say.
Lookin' at the graves but they aren't sad,
Just paying respects to their mom and dad,
Walkin' Boys where you goin' today?

Same Old Story W/ Docvet

twisted together

She’s nervous, she fidgets, she takes a long time in deciding 
But he could tell she wasn’t reading the menu, she was in back of it hiding 
He said, “Let’s order cocktails first
Yeah, they’re good but they don’t quench my thirst.”  

But when the rain comes to the desert 
When the rain comes to the desert 
His burning thirst for sustenance shall yield 
When the ran comes to the desert 
He’ll be healed

Her previous marriage left her mud colored glasses to see with 
And he’s recently widowed and just needs a woman to be with 
He said, “we’re in the same boat you and I
Two vodka martinis, please.  Dry

When the rain comes to the desert 
When the rain comes to the desert 
There’ll be cactus flowers blooming by the score 
When the rain comes to the desert 
It will pour 

His romantic prowess was unsharpened and he was anxious to test it 
While she discussed her ex-husband, he put his hand on her knee and caressed it 
She angrily met with his gaze 
Which set the skin around his collar ablaze 

When the rain comes to the desert 
When the rain comes to the desert 
Those pregnant clouds shall burst and shower down 
When the rain comes to the desert 
They will drown 

She flushed red and ran out, embarrassed and mumbling curses 
How many romances rescued by ladies forgetting their purses? 
He followed her off in a rush 
Through the crowd like he was cutting through brush 

When the rain comes to the desert 
When the rain comes to the desert 
The sand shall be transformed into fertile mud 
When the rain comes to the desert 
It will flood 

He said, “I’m so glad I caught up.  Here’s your purse back.  I guess I’m just out of practice”. 
She said, “I’m sorry I overreacted.  I’ve grown thorns like a cactus” 
She said, “I usually don’t kiss men in crowds” 
And the restaurant filled up with clouds 

And that’s when the rain came to the desert 
The rain came to the desert
And nothing, not one inch of it was missed. 
The rain came to the desert 
When they kissed
