Just when you got that Pina Colada song out of your head:

Please don't tell my heart
My achey-breakey heart
I just don't think it understands
and if you tell my heart
my achey breakey heart

insert next line here.

This is it boys, the day we've all been training for.
Not the...
Yes Corporal. I'm afraid so. It's finally come to this. We just got orders from High Command. Commence Operation: Terry Jacks. And may God have mercy on our souls for the hideous weapon we are about to release:

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I'll be there

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the stars we could reach
Were just starfish on the beach

We had joy we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the seasons
Have all gone

All our lives we had fun
We had seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons
Out of time......

Let freedom ring, Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today is a day of reckoning
Let the weak be strong, let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away, let the guilty pay
It's Independence Day

Well she lit up the sky that fourth of July
By the time that the firemen come
They just put out the flames, and took down some names
And sent me to the county home
Now I ain't sayin' it's right or it's wrong
But maybe its the only way
Talk about your revolution
It's Independence Day

Its these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes
Nothing remains quite the same
With all of our running and all of our cunning
If we couldnt laugh we would all go insane

Hey, that's my line!!!! Man....Ok I'm whining. I'm over it now.

The cats in the fiddle and the man on the moon, dad can we get together soon

Sorry....I had to strike while the iron (or submarine, I guess) was hot! You'll have to be quicker next time!


The cats in the cradle and the silver spoon
little boy blue and the man in the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when
But we'll get together then...you know we'll have a good time then....

Okay, now I need to go cry for about two hours....

[D's TK]

Oh, man. You don't want me to insert a line. He he he!!!!...........

GOOD ONE!!!! Same thought popped into my head

What the heck? Was this a suicide mission?? Does anyone know if ngilbert made it?? Oh, the horror!!! The inhumanity of it all!! Did it really have to come to this? I didn't even get to say goodbye...



A pox...I say, A POX ON YOU, AL!!!

Oh, man. You don't want me to insert a line. He he he!!!! Naw--I'm not gonna fall for it while your fishing....

It's morning
I wake up
The taste of summer sweetness on my mind
It's a clear day
In this city
Let's go dance under the street lights
All the people in this world
Let's come together
More than ever
I can feel it
Can you feel it

Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers of every different color
Can't you feel that sunshine telling you to hold tight
Things will be alright
Try to find a better life
Come on over
Down to the corner
My sisters and my brothers there for one another
Come on over
Man I know you wanna let yourself go

Some people
It's a pity
They go all their lives and never know
How to love or to let love go
But it's alright now
We'll make it through this somehow
And we'll paint the perfect picture
All the colors of this world will run together more than ever
I can feel it
Can you feel it

We may never find our reason to shine
But here and now this is our time
And I may never find the meaning of life
But for this moment I am fine
So

Lonely feeling deep inside
Find a corner where I can hide
Silent footsteps crowding me
Sudden darkness but I can see.

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

(Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow...)

In the silence of her mind
Quiet movements where I can find
Grabbing for me with her eyes
Now I'm falling from her skies

No sugar tonight in my coffee
No sugar tonight in my tea
No sugar to stand beside me
No sugar to run with me

(Dat'n-doo-dow-dow-dat'n-doo-dow, dat'n do dow dow dow)

Jocko says ''Yes'', and I believe him
When we talk about the things I say
She hasn't got the faith or the guts to leave him
When they're standing in each other's way
You're tripping back now to places you've been to
You wonder what you're gonna find
You know you've been wrong but it won't be long
Before you leave 'em all far behind

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new Splendid Lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

Jocko said ''No'', when I came back last time
It's looking like I lost a friend
No use callin' 'cause the sky is fallin'
And I'm getting pretty near the end
A smoke-filled room in a corner basement
The situation must be right
A bag of goodies and a bottle of wine
We're gonna get it on right tonight

'Cause it's the new Mother Nature taking over
It's the new Splendid Lady come to call
It's the new Mother Nature taking over
She's gettin' us all
She's gettin' us all

A pox...I say, A POX ON YOU, AL!!!

Hah, I laugh in your general direction.
I'm just warming up:

There was no sound at all
But the clock upon the wall
Then the door burst open wide
And my daddy stepped inside
And he kissed my mama's face
And he brushed her tears away
The night Chicago died
NaNaNa NaNaNa NaNaNa
The night Chicago died

I heard my mama cry
The night Chicago died.

Hah, I laugh in your general direction.
I'm just warming up:

I RETURN laughter in your general direction...including several snorts and assorted guffaws!!

Hey Al...why don't you ride through the desert on a horse with no name????

What the heck? Was this a suicide mission?? Does anyone know if ngilbert made it?? Oh, the horror!!! The inhumanity of it all!! Did it really have to come to this? I didn't even get to say goodbye...

I'm fine. You forget, I was there back in '73 when we dropped the "Billy Don't Be a Hero" bomb. Some of the younger guys here at the launch pad are little shaken up though - they'd never seen anything like "Seasons in the Sun" before. Kowolski has been barfing for the last three hours, poor kid.

We do our best to prepare them. We make them listen to the "Full House" theme song over and over for two weeks straight. The complete version I mean, not the truncated one they play in syndication. Honestly though, I think that's a case where the innoculation is worse than the disease.

Walking through forests of palm tree apartments
scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
down by the waterhole drunk every Friday,
eating their nuts saving their raisins for Sunday.
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows,
they're fast but they're lazy, and sleep in green meadows.

Let's bungle in the jungle
well, that's all right by me.
I'm a tiger when I want love,
but I'm a snake if we disagree.

Just say a word and the boys will be right there:
with claws at your back to send a chill through the night air.
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder.
I'll write on your tombstone, "I thank you for dinner."
This game that we animals play is a winner.

Let's bungle in the jungle
well, that's all right by me.
I'm a tiger when I want love,
but I'm a snake if we disagree.

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
and He who made kittens put snakes in the grass.
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns
yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
to light up His Jungle as play is resumed.
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune.

Let's bungle in the jungle
well, that's all right by me.
