It's 2022
I think you know just what we need to do
It certainly is true
You can see that it's happening to you.
We can't wait t'il '23
22's already late as you can clearly see
Shoulda started back in 1973
to keep things from rising a degree
Help some birds and bees
fishes in the seas
Elephants and fleas
Flowers and the trees
It's so long overdue
Someone must get started with a brand new point of view
Could it be that the someone will be you?
It could be your year in 2022

Moving It
02:39
|

Got your notice the other day
Said my thing was in your way
until now everything was fine
but I know the mess is mine
I'm moving it
Getting it out of the way
I'm moving it
Not a problem okay?
Picked it up to change position
Moving it - that's my mission
I'll transport it, I will pack it
Send you the number so you can track it
Hey fellas! Yeah!
Can I get some help? Gotta start moving today.
Hey fellas! Yeah!
What we gonna do? Move!
That's what I's hopin' you'd say. Now move...
Moving it.
Getting it out of the way.
Moving it.
Gonna be moved today.

Cherry Blossom

Hey, apple blossom
Watch out for the wind and rain
Fruit and juice await
Look out, peach blossom
Everyone want some of you
Take time to ripen
Oh, cherry blossom
Such a temporary view
Come again some day
All of the blossoms
Calling out to friendly bees
There's nectar to share

Checkout
02:27

He went to the local market
Rode his bike and then he parked it
Something to break the monotony
A new cashier and she's lookin' at me
He thought
This cashier is checkin' me out (checkin' me out)
This cashier is checking me out (there's no doubt)
She can see have a cat (but not much more than that)
This cashier is checkin' me out
Got some things and went to aisle 2
Analyzed what he should do
Her checkout lane's the only one open
Take a chance? The moment is golden...
This cashier is checkin' me out (checkin' me out)
This cashier is checking me out (there's no doubt)
She scanned me up and down (UPC cannot be found)
This cashier is checkin' me out
He put his cat food on the conveyer
She scanned him like she was a soothsayer
Gotta reward card? You could be a saver.
Have a nice day and see you later.
This cashier is checkin' me out (checkin' me out)
This cashier is checking me out (there's no doubt)
She scanned me with her tech (no product code - price check!)
This cashier is checkin' me out
He grabbed his bag and took his receipt
Took one final look before his retreat
Then it hit him, he was so dumb...
Cashiers check out everyone.

Time Machine

I saw you dance and sing in 1934
You look so hot in films made before the war
When I saw you up on the big screen
I had to get a time machine
I need a time machine to spend some time with you
You could come visit me or I could come to you
We could be together in the same scene
If I had a time machine
Until now you've been a projection
You've got me wanting more than light
And I could take your rejection but
Let's time machine tonight
I'd like to know about your third dimension
You can stay in black and white
I'll handle the colorization
Can we go off script tonight?
Can I tell you about your future?
You could know just who you are
Even though this is only your first role
Your gonna be a star
Though it's a long shot I'll try for a close up
I want to jump right through the screen
Decades don't matter, we could be together
If I had my time machine.

If

If
You are free
Visit me
We can have a good time
If
You will stay
We can play
And no one will mind
Now
You can see
You and me
Have a lot in common
When
You come by
We can try
To have a good time

I’m talking about my state
Some think this state is great
Cruising around in the 802
State car is the Subaru
People up here know just what to do
Diversity is picking up, too
The LGB, the T and Q
The POC. The pronoun you.
Hi to the cows and they just say moo
Fresh food, sweet air And the sky is blue
Think about moving from your city
Want to learn how to hug a tree
Up north you gotta know a lot
Gonna put you on the spot
All you know about is Ben and Jerry
Like your Garcia with a little cherry
Eat a cone while you’re taking a call
Unilever is not Vermont y’all
You didn’t like our friend Bernie
Didn’t think that he was worthy
Fell for phony insults that were hurled
Kept everyone away from a better world
You don’t know how to drive in snow
Wearing shorts when it’s 20 below
Can I sell you a big snow helmet
Pour hot water on ice so you can melt it
You’re afraid to go up mountains
Had to drag you kickin and shoutin’
You kinda ruined a pretty good outing
And all of us on the trail were doubting
If we could take you to your second home
It's about the size of the hippodrome
Escaped from New York City
Gonna learn to work remotely
Gotta pay the Air b n b fee
Gotta get some maple creamee
Say you shop local but you get it all from millionaires
Making rich richer but you don’t really seem to care
Better ways for better days we are bringing
Moonlight in Vermont is the song we’re singing
Band camping in the national park
Playing music til after dark
We’re completing projects
while you just play with phone
Collaboration
But you remain alone
Still have more that we've got to say
Get more done in a single day
Than you finish in the months of May
June, July and even August
Took a vote and then we caucused
You don’t know shit about us
Can’t get a hit without us
Smokin flower for extra power
Getting clean in the outdoor shower
Wild life is so sublime
Forget mud season in summer time
You say we have an aging population
Old’s cool, and some are my relations
But kids are coming from across the nation
Arriving at the Amtrak station
One more thing before we go
It’s some thing that you need to know
You can keep it on the down low
Whoa
Vermont has some go go
Green Mountain Go Go
Fits like a glove
When I call your name
Say what you love
Brattleboro...
Green Mountain Go Go
North Hero...
Green Mountain Go Go
Bennington...
Green Mountain Go Go
Burlington...
Green Mountain Go Go
St. Johnsbury...
Green Mountain Go Go
Londonderry...
Green Mountain Go Go
Dummerston...
Green Mountain Go Go
Killington...
Green Mountain Go Go
Montpelier...
Green Mountain Go Go
And Windsor...
Green Mountain Go Go
Isle La Motte...
Green Mountain Go Go
Is in the spot!
