TODAY(Not Tomorrow)--Coming Nov 1

JOINED AT THE HIP
(Carroll)
Hey, hey, people step aside (do the slide) Make way for my buddy and his lovely bride Doing a brand new step
Got the best moves yet
Destined to endure
How you do it ain't no trick at all (Not at all) Keep your partner by your side
And you never will fear the fall
'Cause you're altogether whole
Body, heart and soul
So solid, sound and sure
While those witch doctors were dispensing Those ounces of prevention
They stepped out and got cured
Joined at the hip
Don't give 'em no lip
Been that way
From the moment that they met Head over heels
They'll have a nice trip
Joined at the hip
All you'll ever need is a little nerve (Got to find your nerve) To take out a little guardrail on that learning curve
And trust that love within
And let your life begin
Your hearts will lead the way
Right before us stands the honest truth (Got to tell the truth) Lift your glass to the everlasting here
In in the bloom of youth
'Cause waiting right outside
Is the world's most thrilling ride And it's taking off today
So let every Divine intervention Be heaven's best intention
See that they stay
Joined at the hip
Don't give 'em no lip
Been that way
From the moment that they met Head over heels
They'll have a nice trip
Joined at the hip
Yeah, yeah, yeah La la la la
So let every Divine intervention Be heaven's best intention Make sure that they stay
Joined at the hip
Good lovin' don't quit
Been that way
From the moment that they met
Head over heels
Gonna be a sure enough mighty fine trip Joined at the hip
(They'll be movin' on up now)
Joined at the hip
(So in love)
Joined at the hip

GOTTA SERVE SOMEBODY

OMG I Said Awesome
 (Carroll) © Ordinary World Publishing , ASCAP

Oh my gawd!  I just said awesome
It tumbled right off of my tongue it did
Like I was a dreamy-eyed  mystified high school kid
My gawd!
That was awesome
But it was nothing like the hellfire Hindenburg
I just neglected to connect with a more suitable word
No it was nothing that would make a fellow faint 
Or cause the kiddies to bawl some 
But I said it was awesome


Oh my gawd! I just said brilliant
Like it was a supernova borealis lightning streak
Comin at ya like a meteor at blinding speed
Well, I don’t know...what it was
But it was brilliant
Einstein or Bernstein might not approve
But I can say what I want so it'll have to do

All these word fads and the fashions ain’t nothing if they ain’t resilient
So I’ll settle for brilliant

Oh we'll talk about a must-see film when when no one’s seen it
And then we'll tell everyone that it’s great but we don't really mean it
If we'd only pause long enough to think twice about it
We might come up with an adjective 
And some dumb lug/ young buck/ dumb cluck would shout it:


My gawd!
That was genius!
Nothin like the work of Michelangelo
But if I said it or you read it then it must be so

That was dope...I mean genius
 Some words are catching on with relative ease
But if I utter irregardless please shoot me in the knees 

Well, There are so many overused words
That I can’t list all of ‘em
The most awesome is awesome 


Oh my gawd!  I just said awesome
It tumbled right of my tongue it did
Like I was an over fried mystified high school kid
My gawd!
That was awesome
But it was nothing like the hellfire Hindenburg
I just neglected to connect with a more suitable word
No it was nothing that would make a fellow faint 
Or cause the kiddies to bawl some 
But I said it was awesome—I thought it was awesome—My gawd I just said it.
