Nobody is going to work for weeks
waiting for good news, it’s looking bleak
Now I’m just catching up on sleep

we’ve all been told to try to hide
Virus is bees and we are the hive
It’s super vacation
I’m on super vacation
Chorus
V2
I don’t think they’ve got it at the beach
I’m getting out of the plauge’s reach
Is going surfing a quarantine breach?
It’s super vacation
I’m on super vacation

The whole wide world is in a scare
I’m not prepared and I don’t care
It’s super vacation
I’m on super vacation
Chorus

Been Locked a way wanna scream and shout
Its the end of days baby we gon see what we about

You and I resonate

When I’m with you I can’t see straight

Do you believe in vibrations?

I like the way I know you look good tonight

I like to think about physics
More than the word of the mystics
I think it’s written in hieroglyphics
You and I could be terrific
I think it’s science or history
You and I got chemistry
V3:
It’s like you’re a drug and addicted
You’re a disease and I’m afflicted
Anyone could have predicted
Don’t get it twisted
You know I don’t believe in fate
A like like this shouldn’t wait
(Solo/latin section)

You bring out the crazies

C# G# A E G# A
The day after you left me
I got odor eaters
for my stinky sneakers
The day after you left me
The day after you left
I finnaly did all my laundry
Made my room much less raunchy
The day after you left me
The day after you left
Got a brand new car battery
jump start not satisfactory
The day after you left me
A F#
I know you were right
E E7
Better not to fight for you
A F#
You’re long gone I know
E E7
Don’t it always seem to go
There are lines
in the corner of my eyes
They didn't show up overnight
They developed over time
I would not take back
the Time I was laughing with you
The day after you left me
I realized my ego
was working against real flow
The day after you left me
The day after you left me
Is the same day that I left me
Maybe now I kinda get me
The day after you left me
The day after you left me
Is the day that you moved on
But I’m writing songs
The day after you left me
The day after you left me
I realized I’ll be okay
it wasn’t the very next day
The day after you left me
The day after you left me
To be honest I was surprised
I thought I’d know you the rest of our lives
The day after you left me
The day after you left me
I didn’t get it all together
Each day is a little bit better
The day after you left me

Boyfriend
Cowboy Starr
V1
We talk about everything
we talk about almost everything
We talk talk talk talk
But not about your boyfriend
We talk about making music
I let you play my acoustic
We talk about how to groove it
but not about your boyfriend
We talk about the west
we talk about your family crest
we've talked nearly to death
But not about your boyfriend
Chorus:
F#
I'm sure he's a real cool guy
B7
so why don't you ever talk about him
F#
I'm sure there's is a reason why
B7
I only see you without him
C#7
When your talk talk talking to me
D7 B7
I feel like the only fish in the sea
V2
We talk about my EX
about techs and specs
we sometimes talk about sex
but only once about your boyfriend
Well you've heard how I'm a loser
Heard the tale of the abuser
Talk like you're no longer a user
but not about your boyfriend
We talk about the war
and serving more than four (what is it good for)
talk until you get bored
but not about your boyfriend
Chorus
V3
You told me your pappa’s angry
You’re his sweet little baby
bad boys like me drive him just crazy
how does he feel about your boyfriend.
You’re playing a little shy
like like well’s run dry
Did you go and tell your guy
all about your new boyfriend

Christmas in July
A D E
Every Couple of years or so
I have to head to Chicago
I got a family so I have to go
But it’s always like 10 below and covered in snow
Can’t have a picnic Or a BBQ
Except for christmas there’s not much to do
I try to see a band or two
I could see them in july too
D
But not this year!
A
We’re rescheduling christmas
D
There will be no fear
A
Of covid coming to get us
It’ll be Christmas in july
When the temperatures are more high
We’ll be opening gifts in Chicago
But It will feel like Orlando
It’ll be Christmas in July
I won’t have to lie
I won’t feel like a jerk
About having ficticios work
My little sister will have more time off
She won’t have to worry about her student’s cough
My niece can take her drum set outside
Turn the music up like it is july
We can bring the tree down to the lake shore
Christmas in my flip-flops like never before
We can keep the old one if it’s too dear
Why not have peace and love twice a year
Bridge:
I don’t see any reason
To not move the holiday season
I could not say why
To not have Christmas in july
I’m pretty sure there’s room
To also move thanksgiving to june
I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas
Gayla Peevey, recorded in 1953; lyrics and music by John Rox
G D
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; Only a hippopotamus will do
D7 A D7 D
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy; I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
G D
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
D7
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
A D7 D
Just bring him through the front door, that's the easy thing to do
G7 C G7 C
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
D7 G
Oh what joy and what surprise, when I open up my eyes
A D D7
to see a hippo hero standing there
G D
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; Only a hippopotamus will do
D7 A7 D7 D
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses; I only like hippopotamuses
A7 D7 G
And hippopotamuses like me too
[Interlude]
G G D
D7
Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
A7 D7 D
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian
[Interlude]
G G D
D7
There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
A7 D7 D
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage
G7 C G7 C
I can see me now on Christmas morning, creeping down the stairs
D7 G
Oh what joy and what surprise, when I open up my eyes
A D D7
to see a hippo hero standing there
G D
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas; Only a hippopotamus will do
D7 A7 D7 D
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroseses; I only like hippopotamuseses
A7 D7 G
And hippopotamuses like me too

G
I vibrate for you
C F
In ways I can’t explain
You make me love myself
Like I never thought I could again
I can’t begin to tell you why
At a loss for words but still I try
I feel like the most lucky guy
You’re the main reason why
C
I’m happy
F
I only make sad songs
C
But I’m happy
Am F
I know I’m where I belong
C
I’m happy
F
I wan’t to know your happy too
G
I’m in love with you
When I think of life and a future together
I can’t think of anything clever or better
Then making you my greatest endeavor
I’ll want to be with you no matter whatever
I’m looking to grow with you
I’ve seen what you can do with a garden
I hope to be you one you choose
Because my love isn’t just startin’
Let’s be in love
Let’s be happy
Let’s be in love
Let’s be a little be sappy
Let’s be in love
I’ll be your daddy
Let’s be in love
Won’t treat you badly
Let’s be in love
You don’t gotta trap me

Am G
C F
Let's sober up a little, maybe not all the way Em D G C
Am G C
Let's get things done, not today
Am G
I loved you then and I love you now
C Dm
Maybe you and I have grown
Am G C
maybe I'm not the man you've known
*Green eyes and Golden hair
think about you everywhere.
I tell you again what I told you before
Nothing’s changed, I want you to be sure
C
When you get drunk at the party
F C/G
I will drive you you home and tuck you in
Am G
and when you awake in the morning
C F
Tell me of your dreams I'm listening
Am G C Dm
There was I time I thought I knew who you were
C G C
the more I learned the less I was sure
One time you thought I heard your mind
I assure you now it wasn't only that one time
I've known you for years
I've seen your love and your tears.
Let me whisper one more time in your ear
You like to drink, you know that I do too
makes a little sense when you know what we’ve been through
It’s what makes me, me and what makes you, you
Every word I ever said was true
Am G F C G/B
I don’t even own a wetsuit
But I wanna surf small waves with you
We can be just how you like
There is no issue
We can just drive somewhere
The beach and the breeze in your hair
Beers and good vibes we share
When you call me, I’ll be there
C
For you

Do you still smoke weed
Do you still eat meat
Do you only eat leaves
I only eat cheese
Em7 A A7
How long will you be in town this time
How long will you be to good in my mind
Everytime I see you I...swoon. Everytime I see you I'm over the moon
So you still smoke weed
Is it coffee or tea
Is your milk flax seed
Do you vote absentee
Do you still leave kisses of lipstick
On the filter tips of cigarettes
Does your art still make people sick
In the details we paint our regrets
Do you still smoke weed
Do you miss the scene
Was it guaranteed
Vote absentee
Nobody like you ever stays in this town
Your brand of melancholy is not what’s going down
I look out at the fog and monochrome
It seems so dreary it seems like home
I want to be your boy back home
I want your syndrome
I want to see you off the phone
I want to be the one you own

Names & Addresses
***Chorus:****
Em
You built a monster
Em
that could destroy this whole city
A
I'm sure you built him for helping
Bb A
What comes next don't look so pretty
Em
It's the end of us all
Em
via a viral invasion
A Bb A
This may be the collapse of modern civilization
and what's worse (C, B> ,Bb ,G< B< X) it's got your name on it
E7
You had to be so smart ,you had to so clever
E7
compared it to art ,scientific endeavor
B7
It's the greatest invention since the dawn of machines
E7
it's the shit that makes your neighbor's pastures a little more green
They put it in your food said it will alter your mood
Feed it to your kids ya it's good for them too
B7
I'm sure it’s the gods honest truth,I heard it on the evening news
******
V2This one here says it can make you smart
this one here lets you eat anything and not fart
this one here is part of your new daily regiment
We tested it for thirty days in a clinical experiment
This one makes you feel like nothing really matters
this one makes it so you can have 2 bladders
This one makes the side effects not quite as often
these ones do nothing at all but we really want you on em.
It's the latest and greatest 1st world revelation
That's why it's being spread to every far off nation
The way I see it
I’m looking at a list of bad guys
Right next to a list of good ideas
I have an old friend Utah Phillips
He was a Self-declared/Anarchist/ Pacifist/Direct activist/Train hopper/Hobo/
Koran War Vet And a an honest Raconteur
One time his ghost sat by me as the only the campfire coals remained a glow
He said to me
Cowboy and I said huh and he said
THE EARTH ISN'T DYING. THERE'S PEOPLE KILLING IT. THOSE PEOPLE HAVE NAMES AND ADDRESSES.
