Am I an Alien?       - The Luni Troupe

Here I stand, here I go
I can’t tell any more
Where I am, or what to know
I can see with my eyes
So it seems, I’m a clown
On the show, on the show, on the show

Round is round, round and round and round.
Out or in, or in or out or in.
Nowhere once, Once again.
Altogether, we’re all apart.
Some-thing lives in my heart.
Please believe me, my old friend,
I might be an alien.

Is it true, obvious,
Most uncertain, who is us?
Ash to ash, dust to dust,
In the stars, dawn to dusk.
Am I one? One of us?
Could it be? I might be,
An alien, alien. An alien, alien.

O.K.

Monkey Washing Kitty Cat - 02 - The Luni Troupe - 3 Degrees of Bipedia

This one turns out to be a popular sing-a-long drinking song when we play it at the Bar. Especially appreciated by both patrons and management at Burt's Tiki Lounge.

lyrics
Monkey Washing Kitty-Cat -the Luni Troupe

I was watching David Letterman, when I saw this nutty sight,
A monkey washing a Kitty-Cat, with obvious delight.
It made me think of paradise, it got me through the night.
Monkey washing a Kitty-Cat, with all his monkey might.

Monkey washing the Kitty-Cat, the Kitty-Cat, the Kitty-Cat, the Kitty-Cat,
Monkey washing the Kitty-Cat, Oooh-ooooh-ooooh, meow-ow
Until he's squeaky clean, the Kitty's squeaky clean, Oooh-ooooh, meow-ow Oooh-ooooh, meow-ow.

Such a helpful monkey, such a dirty cat. Put two and two together, and it's obvious as heck.
When a monkey and a kitty meet, together in a kitchen sink.
It all adds up to sudsy fun, I got to have a drink, Let's go and get a drink.

Monkey washing Kitty-Cat, reeee-er – reeee-er, Oooh-ooooh-ooooh.
Monkey washing the little teeny Kitty-Cat, Oooh-ooooh-ooooh- ooooh.
Until he's squeaky clean, the Kitty's squeaky clean, Squeaky-Kitty-Clean. Oooh-ooooh, meow-ow, Oooh-ooooh, reeee-er – reeee-er.

Oooh-ooooh-ooooh- ooooh, reeee-er – reeee-er...
Oooh-ooooh-ooooh- ooooh, reeee-er – reeee-er...                     reeee-er – reeee-er.

Vocal by Rick Soderberg, Ogden's own Blues Clown

There always has to be one about a killer Clown, and Here is the Luni Troupe's. Richard Lawrence performing the vocal, with special Helium effects.

Gilly Down                  -the Luni Troupe

Why try to bring the whole house down.
Mocking laughter's what they're after.
Blind to all of them, are lost little clowns.
Jesters reeling from love, crushed doomed and drown.
Decal-ed tears for real, replaces,
While miming lies, my minds eye spies vile crimes.
Trapped below a sea of faces,
Trampled face down in the grime.

Taken,
Blows are taken with a grin.
Not sung: (Painted thicker than a crowds true measure.)
Brakin',
View this achin’ harlequin.
Not sung: (Painted thicker than a crowds false pleasure.)

Kicking sawdust has seen my best days.

No hearth on Tanbark or Midways.
Lonely Back Doors for small actors.
I once prized a lively waif, found astray.
That monkey's blood leaves rude town Rubes to repay.
Fabricating conflagration,
I sealed the tent and caused them all to run.
Panic first then suffocation,
Grotesque splat-ies for my one.


Gilly gilly down down, Gilly gilly down down,

Gilly gilly down, Gilly gilly down

Gilly down down down. Gilly down down down.

The demo version of this song is included on the "SoundCo Sampler 1," and also on the Luni Troupe's album, "Blue Bus", and can also be found on Rhapsody.  Personally, I like the one on Blue Bus better, the sound quality is not as good as this one, but it "feels" better.  Oh well, that's what happens when you make multiple versions, I suppose.

"Altogether, we’re all apart.
Something lives in my heart."

Am I an Alien? - The Luni Troupe

Here I stand, here I go
I can’t tell any more
Where I am, or what to know

On the show, on the show, on the show

Round is round, round and round and round.
Out or in, or in or out or in.
Nowhere once, Once again.
Altogether, we’re all apart.
Some-thing lives in my heart.
Please believe me, my old friend,

Is it true, obvious,

Heave Ho Children Let Go - 09 -  The Luni Troupe - Blue Bus

lyrics:
Heave Ho (Children Let Go)                      -The Luni Troupe

My name is Rick Soderberg, I have a story,
a tragedy I witnessed one summer day.
It was August the Second of 'Seventy-Eight.
Let me tell you about it, in my simple way.

I was workin', ya see, as a room service waiter,
at a splendid hotel, from Two until Ten.
Takin' mighty fine meals to the rooms where the guests stayed.
Makin' mighty fine tips, at that night I'd go spend. ...(“Serve 'em up, Bar-tender”)

Well there was an odd fellow who stayed at the hotel,
with family, and sometimes he'd stay there for weeks.
And each night they'd order up steak from the kitchen,
and they all lived like royalty in that big suite.

He was big as an ox, and he wore a fine three piece,
big pony-tail, pricey cowboy boots.
And he told me his name was Emanuel David,
and sometimes we'd talk about spiritual books.

It was August the Second of Seventy-Eight.
I was walkin' to work, not a block from the job.
And I noticed that somethin' was causin' commotion,
'cause surrounding the hotel was a throng of a mob.

So I looks up to see what the hell was a stirrin'
and finally I spots up there, just where it was.
Up there on the Eighth floor on the balcony, I saw
Emanuel David's wife tellin' her son... She cried...

“Heave Ho, children let go, it's curtains for me and for thee,
Heave Ho, children let go, meet daddy in eternity”.

I stood there in shock as my mouth became bone dry.
It's all I could do, not to break down and weep.
'Cause the wife of that big ox, Emanuel David,
Threw all of her children off, and then she leaped.

Well it came out next day in the Deserted News
Emanuel David was the King of the Cult.
And from Manti he'd come with his worshipers tithing.
I suppose those believers all got a quite a jolt.

Ya see, he seemed to believe he was this only one true prophet.
His followers thought he was one step from God.
And he made damn sure they all lived a sheltered existence,
but he gassed himself one night, and died like a slob.

His wife found out next day, Emanuel David,
had given the ghost up by cheap suicide.
And she just couldn't stand it, and so she decided
the very best thing would be if she just died.

She also expected the kids had to die too.
They looked up to their Pa, as the “all-in-all”.
But I surely do swear, they were fighting for dear life,
But Mama would not let the kiddies hang on… no no no no, She cried...

“Heave Ho, children let go, it's curtains for me and for thee,
Heave Ho, children let go, meet daddy in eternity”.

There was Mama and Joseph and Rachel and Deborah,
Jo-Shannon and Dushane, Rebbecca and all.
There was one brave young girl there, Elisabeth David,
who lived, and is Big in the Cult now, I'm told.

It came out weeks later, Emanuel David
was just worried sick about all the money he'd blown.
And the guilt that he felt, in the face of religion,
pushed him over the edge. Where he's gone, I don't know.

Emanuel David, Emanuel David,
A prophet, an idol, with feet made of clay.
Emanuel David, Emanuel David,
What did you think? When you heard you wife say... She cried...

“Heave Ho, children let go, it's curtains for me and for thee,
Heave Ho, children let go, meet daddy in eternity”.

I've told you the story, it leaves me quite cold.
Ain't it true, that this world is as strange as can be.
And if you should e'er think of deceiving somebody,
Remember Emanuel David for me.
