Premium MemberDanny and the ------- Sang It

   What’s on tap
      Who’s on top

   I’ll give you a tip
      They sang ‘At the Hop’



   Put another dime in the jukebox

Premium MemberDanny Looks for a Continent to Discover

Danny, a superlative explorer kept searching
Determined to find a lost continent
There has to be at least one out there no one has found!
He devoted his life to this quest, every moment thinking of it.

His parents could not relate.
Danny had given up his chances to date or marry.
He lived sixteen thousand miles away from them.
They had

Premium Memberdilly dallying danny

dilly dallying danny deliberately defies
daughter dinahs deliberations
denise does donuts during danny’s debate
roaring, rearing, ready rusty ruminations
rarely recognizable, really riling up dinah’s
dander.

Premium MemberPoor Pitiful Danny Diver

     Danny Diver is no belly-flopper
     Only this time his dive came a-cropper 

        Danny started out fine
        But he’d drunk too much wine 

      He's motionless in

Premium MemberFiery darts of Danny

For I have eaten of manna 
I have witnessed the Holy Spirit I will 
not shall not flee in the face of Danny 
strange flesh messenger from hell a man 
and horse walking on hoofs wearing the 
bussom of a woman this unholiest 
entered my home leaving a strange 
stench of sap upon my windowsills

Cliche'D To Death-A Collaboration With Danny Turner

I'm so tired of hearing that old cliche' ~
"It's water under the bridge," let it go.
Those words are never the right thing to say
when I'm already feeling kinda low

What if water under the bridge dries up
and can't carry my mistakes out to sea?
To forgiveness should I raise a full cup?
What cliche will I hear to

Premium MemberDanny the Dancing Dragon

Danny Dragon learned to dance the Samba,
then he wanted to learn the Rhumba,
the Hustle, Jitterbug and Boogie Woogie,
with his little friend Salugi.

All day and night they’d shake and shimmy,
oh, Danny and Salugi often got quite giddy;
giggling and wiggling across the dance floor
and I can say I was never, ever bored.

Then Danny got the competition fever,
as

Pete and Danny

The weather was hot on this New York day
People jostled in the crowded subway 
Danny had a dinner date with partner Pete
He was running late and feeling the heat 

Out of the station Danny's eye was caught 
A baby against the wall or so he thought 
His suspicions proved to be so very true 
Rang

Danny Salazar In Leavenworth

They could have ranged together foreever, in just that way
The moment of experience, un-cloaked and with innocent play
In co-creation perfect, when the Lord frequently appeared With approval and fulness of strength, and nothing he feared
Since Abel was able. That is all. Competent and true. Simple and decent.
With no agenda or aim, no cunning ploy, singing

The Elusive Danny Kruger

Why Danny, so cute, but elusive
Ornamental and yet unobtrusive
Preferring to stay
At the end of the day
In locations a tad more exclusive

Why Danny, you see, while there's cheese
In the pond and the voters to please
You could pop in to town
Take the M4 and down
To Devizes (one 'z' and two 'e's)

Why Danny, you've come from above
Like a

Premium MemberThe Ballad of Danny Fine

Not too long ago, back about 1929
Was conceived a boy, name of Danny Fine
Born on a Thursday, 24th of October
A day the stock market turned stone-cold sober

When the crash was over, five days later
The Fine family fortune had totally cratered
They'd lost all their wealth; Mr. Fine lost his job
Mrs. Fine had a breakdown; she wept

Love My Danny Boy

I never thought I'd be back here to love,
Ive gone through so much hurtful stuff,
I never thought I'd love again like before,
Yet again I am to love one guy more,
I totally so scared of tomorrow to come,
But I am so lost drunk in love some.

He only wants me like this 
He loves my laugh funny
He

‘CALL-UP TIME’

They’ve taken our Danny to war, they have.
They’ve taken our Danny to war.
I wish he’d come home ‘cos I feel all alone-
So what have they taken him for?

Who’s gonna pass on his trousers?
Who’s gonna give me some sweets?
Humbugs and pear drops and tiger nuts too.
And chocolate sometimes, for a treat.

Who’s gonna keep up our

Premium MemberRachel And Danny

I enjoyed meeting the two of you from a far away land.
It gave me a little glimpse of life in another country.
We swapped stories about our lives and where we stand.
It’s good to know that there others out there just like me.

Because of the people from all over the world that I’ve met,
My eyes have
