A Story

A wonderful love song about the things we think about when we encounter a loved one, or a soon to be loved one. It's quite good, right?

Oh…
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna say? 
Whatcha gonna think?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna be?
Whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha think you're doing when you saw her face?
Whatcha think she'll do?
Whatcha think she'll say?
Whatcha think she'd do?
Oh oh…
What did you think would happen to you?
Whenever you felt lonely, I was always here with you.

Whatcha?

The classic Harburg/Gorney masterpiece revisited by our resident masterpiece. 

Once I built a railroad I made it run I made it race against time 
Once I built a railroad now its done 
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower up to the sun, bricks and mortar and lime 
Once I built a tower now its done
Brother can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!
Say, don't you remember, you called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Say don't you remember, I was your pal? Brother, can you spare a dime?

Brother Can You Spare A Dime?

Today on our endless search for humanity, we find a soul lost and alone, no refuge for his haggard mind to escape. All he has is his song, and what a song it is. I think the lyrics speak for themselves.

There is a song that I will sing to you,
That is brighter than anyone that you have ever heard.
Yet the stars in the sky tell my why oh why,
I will die tomorrow and today.
There are three more reason why I know you,
And they are not the greatest ways to you,
But what is real love, what is true love,
When you don't have a heart!

There Is A Song

In today's sordid tale, our artist relates how he made his millions. Revealing himself as THE Mr. Moneybags, many were turned off by this song, but not me! I was all in! Literally! (I lost everything)

I once gained a dollar from my grandfather and his wife.
And then I realized that they had given me more money in my strife.
And then I realized soon, who I really was, I realized that I was…
 
Mr. Moneybags, Mr. Moneybags,
What will you do Mr. Moneybags?
Oh Mr. Moneybags, who do you think you are? 
You are not my friend, you are not my enemy, but you are me.
And I know that Mr. Moneybags, Mr. Moneybags loves you!

Mr. Moneybags

In his first attempt to cover this song, he decides it'd be a really great idea to, oh I don't know, NOT look up the lyrics?!?!? See what happens. 

Once I built a railroad made it run, made it race against time,
Once I built a railroad, now its done,
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Oh once I had a railroad, let it grow, let it race with the flow,
Once I had a railroad. now it's done,
Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I saw a person walkin' around,
but they did not know why.
Then they ran into this little guy,
look who it was, it was me.
But why would I have done such a silly thing such as that 
or anything that you have ever thought upon it?
Maybe if we're both alike and maybe if we're not, 
we can always have the railroad that we built,
yes we'll always have the railroad that we built!

Railroaded

An ode to our artist's favorite food, it reveals a human side to our invincible foe!

Cheesy Meatballs! Are what I love the most!
Yes, Cheesy Meatballs! Are what I love the most!
They really taste so wonderful,
they really taste divine,
but what is it that they bring?
Something inside, something inside. 
What is it, something that's cheesy? 
Or is it something green?
Or something greasy?
Or something mean?
Something mean, something mean.

Cheesy Meatballs

This is a beautiful, soulful dirge about singing a really kickin' song and totally like making people around you go like crazy over it and stuff.

well you sing a little song, a little lullaby,
so no one knows you're there 
and the stars will shine with a light, 
brighter than any that you have seen
and the stars will see your light

A Little Song

This song re-imagines our artist as a Children's Television Show Host. He talks to his friend, the squirrel, who's motives are less than satisfying.

And now for a song from our friendly man, the squirrel
Hello there squirrel, what is your name?
I'd really like to know what is your game. 
And what do you have for me, my little squirrel?
What do you have for me, my little squirrel?

Well, I have lots of lovely crackers for a funny funny man,
But not is not a name that I have always really had.
And now you bring me love and everything you knew.
And now that I'm out of love, this is the end of the show.

The Squirrel

A soft, gentle, beautiful, gorgeous, amazing, articulate, inspiring, artistic, explosive, revealing, heartening, slow, realization is realized by our artist with full gusto.

Well when I was a little boy, my mother said to me: 
What is it that you want and what is it you need?
She told me I was silly for wanting so many things.
And then I realized, all those little lies told me how much I loved you.

Life Lesson

The artist asks the inimitable question. Does he provide an answer? Find out!

Just the other day,
I saw something great.
It was really small,
but what could it be?
Then the very next day,
I saw something that was green.
It was not something that you see every single day.
But then I turned around,
and then this song ended now.

What Could It Be?

Our artist delivers a fine song indeed. Let it go!

Well when I went to school,
In a place that I knew of long ago,
I don't know what made me go,
But I know I'm going somewhere,
No matter how far, no matter how near.
Your heart will see by the time 
I am in the place that I'm going to, 
What will you bring me when I'm dead, 
Will you bring me flowers or will you not?

I Know

Yes, friends, it has come to this the final entry in the long national nightmare that has been the Crazysongs project. Thanks for sticking around and listening. To me, the project has been a way to collect these songs I made in a more innocent time, when I could let go and see what happens. We all need to let loose once in a while and let our freak flags fly. I know it's pretty silly, pretty annoying, and seemingly pointless, but I had fun, and I hope you did too! Enjoy this farewell ode!

Now it's time to say goodbye to all my crazysongs,
I'm really sick and tired of singing all these crazysongs!
They really are annoying,
They really are a pain,
I know you hated listening to them everyday.
But now the song is over but the melody lingers on,
as Mr. Irving Berlin said when he was very young.
When he was very young!
