Got a twenty and the sun's gone down
And the lights are on in this little town square
Reflecting off your hair

Then you take me by both hands
If my heart would just be quiet
Maybe I would learn this language of romance
You whisper "just let it go
Hold me close and dance
In this gazebo."

Spent the twenty on a horse drawn ride
Passed the buskers playing French lullabies right there
In our small town square 

As the carriage wheels go 'round
I could feel my heart exploding
With each echo from the hoof steps on the ground
And when the horse got slow
We got down and danced
In this gazebo

In This Gazebo

Sometimes in the sunshine
I head out for the fun times
And that ukulele smile
On you

Don't take everything so seriously
That's what your carefree smile
Says to me

So

Kiss me in the moonlight
Then kiss me at the sunrise
A ukulele smile on you

Du-du...

Strolling by the seaside
I splash you with the high tide
And that ukulele smile 
Shines through

Don't take everything so seriously
That's what your carefree smile
Says to me

So

Kiss me in the moonlight
Then kiss me at the sunrise
With a ukulele smile on you

Du-du...

Don't take everything so seriously
That's what your carefree smile
Always says to me

So

Sometimes in the sunshine
You head out for the fun times
And that ukulele smile
On you

Ukulele Smile

Auld Lang Syne Revisited

I've walked these streets so many times
But no footprint can be found
I've sung my songs in these little dives
But now no note or sound
So I leave to you this simple thought
Live for today
For we cannot stop the hands of time
And nothing is here to stay

Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of Auld Lang Syne

Still, every pebble tossed to sea
Must cause some kind of a wave
So while voices fade and footprints dry
Be careful of things you say
For if faith can move a mountain
Then words can move a soul
If we'd all be kind and encourage love
Then peace would come to us all

For Auld Lang Syne, my dear,
For Auld Lang Syne
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
For Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne Revisited

I went down to the library lady
She gave me a book for me to read
About a Florida manatee who didn't survive
I knew then it would be up to me

I said, "Hey, everybody, we're just going too fast
If you don't slow it down all this beauty won't last
These Florida waters
Are a great place to start
If we can save these manatees
Maybe we'll save our hearts

"Baby manatees"
The signs clearly said
And one by one
The careful boating message spread
"Slow those motors:
Baby manatees"
We'll keep these Florida waters you call home
Safe and crystal clean

Ten years later at this Florida river
And who do you think I came to see?
A mama and baby with cute little eyes
Malika and Malik Manatee

I said, "Hello, Malika, tell me how have you been?"
She said, "I'm doing alright, and teaching Malik to swim
In Florida waters
Where the boaters now know
There's a baby down here
So keep those motors slow"

Baby Malik
Swim safe and free
Mama Malika
We will cross these waters carefully
Baby Malik
Baby manatee
We'll keep these Florida waters you call home
Safe and crystal clean

"Baby manatees"
The signs clearly said
And one by one
The careful boating message spread
"Slow those motors:
Baby manatees"
We'll keep these Florida waters you call home
Safe and crystal clean

Malika And Malik Manatee

Humiliation
Hits me right across the face
Imagination
Can not always take the place
Of your sweet comfort
When the world can get me down
But jubilation
When you're around

I know I mean to 
Show you nothing but my smile
But I need you
Sometimes to hold me like a child
Hold me like a child

Desolation
From the entire human race
Infatuation
Led to only more disgrace
No need to mention
That the world can get me down
But celebration
When you're around

I know you mean to 
Show me nothing but your smile
But if you need to 
You know I'd hold you like a child
Hold you like a child

My situation
Leaves a lot to be desired
My reputation 
As inconstant as a fire
But I assure you
I will be there when you're down
Exultation
When you're around

I know I mean to 
Show you nothing but my smile
But I need you I need you I need you
I need you, I need you---
I need you, I need you, I need you---
I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you, I need you---
When you're around

When You're Around

In Case You Didn't Know
Words and Music by Larry Whitler

In case you didn't hear--- 
In case I didn't make myself clear, 
There's a chance I may have 
Never said it loud enough, 
And, in case that is true, 
This song is for you--- 

You mean everything to me--- 
But it's possible I never let you see 
That you're always in my thoughts 
And in my prayers. 
And I thought I'd tell you so, 
In case you didn't know--- 

Time flies by. 
A thousand centuries. 
But all I know 
Is time you've spent with me--- 

In case it doesn't show--- 
I love you more than you will ever know. 
And I'm hoping that 
These words and simple chords 
Will help you see 
What you've always meant to me--- 

Time flies by. 
A thousand centuries. 
But all I know 
Is time you've spent with me--- 

In case you didn't hear--- 
In case I didn't make myself clear, 
You're always in my thoughts 
And in my prayers. 
And I thought I'd tell you so, 
In case you didn't know---

In Case You Didn't Know

The Lord's Prayer / Amazing Grace

Dancing Critters Song
by Robin And The Giant

This is a story about Farmer Justin
He had a wife named Marge
They had a farm out in LaRue, Wisconsin
The farm was really very large

Justin and Marge they had
A barn full of critters
They took good care of every one
They had a daughter named
Emily Amanda
And, boy, could she dance
That girl, she could sure have fun

La-la

Whenever Emily had chores to be done
She chose to dance and sing
She saw a frog upon the window watching
And he was closely listening

Emily said, "I've got
A song you can dance to."
Then she pulled out her old jaw harp
The frog was dancing like
Nobody's good business
And boy, could he hop,
That frog he could sure have fun

La-la

Emily thought, "I've got a good idea now,
To make the critters dance
Would make my chores seem like a ballet party
Like ballerinas out in France

She played the bongos and
The cows were all clompin'
The ratchet made the horses rock
She played harmonica and
Pigs would shake their groove thang
Those critters could dance
That barn was alive with fun

La-la

Emily noticed that the barnyard chickens
Would neither dance nor sing
She played the sleigh bells and her two maracas
But they were just not listening

Justin and Marge, they said
To Emily Amanda
"We know which song the chickens like.
Open the box that says
'Magic Chicken Dancer'
Those birds they will dance
And boy, then we'll all have fun

La-la
