EVEN HULA GIRLS GET THE BLUES

Shake shake shake a hula
Shake shake shake a hula
Shake shake shake a hula

Hey all you sailor boys, man I got bad news
I learned the hard way even hula girls get the blues

When hula girls get the blues
Hula girls get the blues
Get the blues

I had to leave my baby, I had to leave that day
I’d been spending too much time in Kealakekua Bay
But I hit bad weather
I had to turn back, you know it’s true
But my baby didn’t expect me so soon
She burned down my ship and she sunk my crew

CHORUS

Shake shake shake a hula
Shake shake shake a hula

Now Captain Cook got no more ship
Oh, you know it’s true
My baby, she sunk down
Even hula girls get the blues

CHORUS

Shake shake shake a hula
Shake shake shake a hula

More Than A Mystery
Ted Wulfers

Your love is more than a mystery, the writing’s on the wall
Kiss me, let’s make a history, see where we fall
You come whenever it feels good, you go when you please
So come on, let’s make it real good, I’m down on my knees

Baby, everything is change, everything is strange
But you stayed the same, you stayed the same

Close your eyes and tell me a story, the kind I like to hear
Wake up, mornin’ glory, dry your tears

Baby, everything is change, everything is strange
But you stayed the same, you stayed the same

More than a mystery, more damage done
More than a mystery, oh but so much fun

You are a gift to the lonely, an apple to the eye
Your love is more than a mystery and only you know why

Baby, everything is change, everything is strange
Oh, baby, everything is change, everything is strange
But you stayed the same, you stayed the same
Oh and it makes you wonder
You stayed the same oh, and it makes you wonder
You stayed the same oh, and it makes you wonder

More Than A Mystery

From the Ted Wulfers album Cheap Liquor

L.S.D. SURVIVAL SONG

What a night stands before me The sky does glare We see a thousand such as these But never are we aware All I want is some company To share in the view A man cannot face it alone For chances, they are few

So let us take a trip along the Lake Shore Drive Park behind the shed, watch it come alive This is how the lonely souls survive

What a night stands before me The sky does glare We see a thousand such as these But never are we aware All I want is some company To share in the view A man cannot face it alone Rather share it with you

So let us take a trip along the Lake Shore Drive Park behind the shed, watch it come alive This is how the lonely souls survive This is how the lonely souls survive Yes, this is how the lonely souls survive

L.S.D. Survival Song

This song is from the Ted Wulfers album Lucky No. 7

This song charted in Top 40 radio a few years ago beating the Foo Fighters in some markets.  Pretty cool!

Here We Go Ted Wulfers
I don’t give a damn what I gotta do, I just gotta get away A million people livin’ beautiful lives, I’m here goin’ insane And I get so sick of everything bein’ the same
So turn on the radio and let’s get movin’ today
Here we go, gotta get away Here we go, holiday Everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah Here we go
All the really pretty girls in this town, they all know my name But they’re too busy with the pretty pretty boys, haircuts all the same And a what would they know about a good time anyway? Here we go
Here we go, gotta get away Here we go, holiday Everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, here we go
No more tomorrows, I’m livin’ for today Only get one chance at that anyway
Here we go, gotta get away Here we go, holiday Here we go, gotta get away Here we go, holiday Everybody say yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, here we go Here we go

Heavens To Betsy Ted Wulfers
It was one of those October days New York City, Chicago or L.A. Northern Michigan or maybe Minnesota Ohio or South Dakota
Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes And I don’t wanna look away I don’t wanna look away, look away, look away Look away
There ain’t no place around here to sit still Even if there were I don’t know if I ever will It’s not that I don’t want to Honey, I want you I just never really knew, oh until
Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes And I don’t wanna look away I don’t wanna look away, look away, look away Look away, look away, look away
Oh, I’m surrounded Oh, I’m surrounded Oh, I’m surrounded tonight Oh, tonight, gonna be alright Gonna be alright
Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes Never look away, I will never look away, I will never look away I will never look away baby ooh, tonight Oh, tonight, oh, tonight, oh, tonight Sweet heavens to Betsy I never seen eyes like your eyes

Heavens To Betsy

This is from the Ted Wulfers album You Are Here

EARTH TONES
Color me with your love
Color me with your beautiful
Color me with your mmm mmm mmm

Earth tones are all around
Some are green and some are brown
Every time my heart makes a sound
It goes boom, thump thump fer you

Earth tones are all around
Some are up and some are down
I’ve seen ’em all over town
And in your eyes so blue

Color me with your love
Color me with your beautiful
Color me with your mmm mmm mmm

Earth tones are everywhere
On the beach and in the mountain air
I’ve even seen ’em at the county fair
Corn dogs and carnival fun

Earth tones are everywhere
On the radio and in your long hair
They even make that color underwear
But you ain’t wearin’ none

CHORUS

I live a denim life, I had a stonewashed wife
She bathed in caramel and stole my ginger ale
I loved a surfer girl in a terra-cotta world
She stirred her mushroom latte with a ukulele
Strawberry butter scotch, hey why not?
Remember that time we ran through the meadow?

FIND SOME PEACE
Go outside, breathe the air
Call up an old friend
Tell ’em you still care
Make a lil’ lovin’ make a lil’ music
Don’t ya know it’s the same thing
If you know how to use it
So take a walk with me
I don’t know where I’m goin’
But there’s no place that I’d rather be
Livin’ in the moment, find the honesty
And find some peace

Go for a long drive, maybe a bike ride
Some days are better stayin’ inside
Lookin’ for hope, lookin’ for dignity
Lookin’ for love, lookin’ for peace

CHORUS

I know it’s hard goin’ your own way
I know it’s hard seizin’ your own day
But there ain’t no hill that ain’t worth climbing’
Ain’t no road that ain’t worth drivin’
Ain’t no wish that ain’t worth wishin’
Ain’t no girl that ain’t worth kissin’

So take a walk with me
I don’t know where I’m goin’
But there’s no place that I’d rather be
Livin’ in the moment, find the honesty
And find some peace

Find Some Peace

I wrote this song around 3am on Nov 3, 2016 after watching the Chicago Cubs win the 2016 World Series.  Holy Cow!  I hope this song brings a smile, a tear and warms the heart as much as it was writing it about this epic and historic event.

The Cubs Won It All in 2016

The Cubs Won It All In 2016 - Ted Wulfers 01

"Thoughts & Prayers" - a timely powerful, thoughtful, inspiring and political song from Ted's 2019 album Tremolo Moon.  Two music videos for this song have gone viral and the song is currently mentioned in news media, college key not addresses and university classrooms.
