No one knows what is DB
But these are Data Bases
If crime is planned
They're Pupidee
Their fingerprints and faces
Path to Justice do compute
Computer for the Justice
Whom do you defend in true
The privacy or nasties?
Okay time for some upbeat stuff
And I'm just the guy that can bring it
Mr. Happy is what some people call me
Is there any other way to be?
The world is filled with nasties
There's enough of that going round
Need something to counter balance it
So start grinning and acting like a clown
The world is just a big circus anyway
Might as well add your unique perspective
Can't get worse, only get better
So c'mon youse guys!
Join me and Louis Armstrong...
“What A Wonderful World”
bull monster slumbers on the soft cloud of life
without stress or concerns, with no kind of stife.
his mama gave him the assignment all bull monsters want.
he rolls in his dreams, and his lips give a grunt.
does bull monster ever come down here? Asked my boy.
no, he stays there to guide us, giving us gulps of great joy.
he dreams our dreams first, filtering all of the nasties out.
bull monster wants us to sleep soundly, not nightmare about.
Glaring white beaches and sand in the eyes,
Searing hot sun rays that make the skin fry,
Stings from the jellies and seagulls that screech:
These are some nasties you’ll find at the beach!
Snotty raw oysters and blistering skin,
Nothing but fried food; how can you stay thin?
Big Daddy, come get me, I beg, I beseech!
I’ve nothing but scorn and distaste for the beach!
Where the breeze blows,
Where the peach grows
Where there’s shade and trees,
I long for the mountains
Where I can be cool,
Just not at the beach,
Oh please!

It is important we do not get our knickers in a pinch
And wind up acting like the mean, old Grinch
Especially during this season of happiness and cheer,
Let’s lay aside our nasties and unleash them next year.
Surely if we can be kind and patient for the while
From our critics, we will most likely elicit a smile,
And, who knows, we may even forget our discontents,
For “discretion is the better part of valor” makes sense.

Life is filled with big ups and big downs
Filled with chuckles and also some frowns
Take the good with the bad
It's the best life you've had
Tell those nasties, “GET OUTTA TOWN!”
A short sighted old doctor called Charlie
Poured water from a bottle to make tea
But the taste wasn't right
Got one hell of a fright
On close inspection the bottle said pee...
He called the opticians to book a test
Rinsed his mouth out then headed home to rest
Now sets good examples
Marks clinical sample's
Storing all those nasties in a locked chest...
Now you don't want to end up like Charlie
By error drinking someone else's pee
Well it is human waste
You just wont like the taste
And you'll be sick as a dog, believe me...

A certain type of person lives in that town
Bar Steward Town a breeding ground for nasties
Especially the male species who are thugs
Doing unspeakable things to people
I've experienced their malicious ways
And nasty spiked words with intent
Take a certain individual who worked with me
We did a job fixing buses in the big garage
He was a total er who deserved to be culled
His poison infected everybody including me
I'm glad I only have memories of him
They go in this poem for him and his type
Beware of them and don't give an inch
They only respect themselves and their aims
You are nothing to them as are their own kind
They are negative self centred bar stewards
Each living in a world revolving round them
The town breeds certain types of people
It must be something unknown in the water
Especially the male species in this town
Never ever trust them or their aims
Try to be perfect most every single day
Sometimes slip trying to keep the nasties at bay
But eleven out of ten
I rebound and then
Back to Mr.Wonderful, and the sex games we play
The secret to happy is lots of moolah
Not true, it's a rumor, a falsehood, pasha
Just check out the sun
Shines on everyone
Us guys, the nasties, even Donald Hooha
Life is filled with big ups and big downs
Filled with chuckles and filled with some frowns
Take the good with the bad
It's the best life you've had
Tell those nasties, “GET OUTTA TOWN!”
Try to be most perfect every single day
Sometimes slip and must keep the nasties at bay
But nine out of ten
I rebound and then
Back to Mr.Wonderful, and the sex games we play
Pushing the limits, testing extremes
Expressing my feelings, exposing my dreams
Of a brand new world
No nasties hurled
Sitting down together, whatta a peaceful scene
Closing in on my eighty-second birthday
Still cookin' with gas, keeping the nasties at bay
Still feed myself
Body's still svelte
Can't stop the girlies from caressing my soufflé
The world according to Jack is happy each day
A sunny disposition keeps the nasties away
My advice to all
Big or small
Act like some kiddies in an three act play
