Ricky Danced with Anyone
Ricky danced in the rain
without shame.
Who could blame him,
this character, chicken.
Oh the splash he made
with his fame.
Oh the waddle and pain.
his hips and his knees
aching, but with a quack
he made a splash,
and for a little while
he forgot
that a little rain
erased the pain.
So he put on
the ritz -
orange webbed boots
and a yellow
fisherman’s hat.
Anyone danced in the

Ricky And Doris
A puppeteer and a columnist
Two greeting persons of great talent
A writer and a simple artist
Met in New York on a bench God-sent
Acquaintance that brought humor and scent
To watchers and walkers awed with skill
Moving and talking puppets that shrill

Lucy and Ricky
Lucille (“Lucy”) Ball
Her desire for show biz fame is anything but small
Plays the wife of Ricky the Cuban drummer
How she goes about it could not be funnier.
Desi (“Ricky”) Arnaz
A full-time job reining in his kooky wife he has
Loves Lucy with all his heart
And his conniving Lucy is extremely smart!

41 yrs have past since I last saw your face
why is our family so out of place
if only you knew I was not like the rest
you and I would have been connected more than the others
I wish I had you as a partner throughout the years
maybe my life would have felt like a breeze

1981, In Collaboration With Ricky Nelson
Ricky Nelson, T-shirt, and khaki pants,
Four a.m. check-in, big wigs are my job,
With a grain of salt, 'it's my life I snub,
A chosen degree, and the good lord grants,
He asked what type of room would I give them,
Wife had a t-shirt that dropped to her knees,
"The Bell Tower, our bridal suite, sign please,"
His band doubled-up,

Ricky and John
Ricky and John.
Ricky and John, Oh! How they belonged.
Ricky thought John to be so very strong.
John thought Ricky to be so very wrong.
Together they would play to their mother’s dismay.
In a coal ben some of the innocent day.
More to their mother’s dismay the more they played.
Oh the coal dust clothing we could display.
Those were the

Ricky Did a Bad, Bad Thing
Well, they said it's illegal, immoral and sick
But I couldn't resist attempting the trick
So I found me a monkey, a snake and a duck
And I hoped it would work, with a wee bit of luck.
I decided the music of Franz Ferdinand
Was exactly the way I could take them in hand
His one song I liked best

Ricky
There once was a boy of three
Ricky was just as cute as could be
He got a bottle of orange pop
From his Grandpa's barbershop
Which leads to great adventures, says he
Follow the adventures of Soda Pop with Richard Lamoureus

Goodbye Ricky
Where has my inspiration gone
Why is the well so dry
My best friend left the earth
And now I’m wondering why
I cannot find the words to tell
Of how he’s missed so much
I could always depend on him
He was my lifes greatest crutch
Whenever I had a problem
I’d give my friend a call
Soon he would be at my door
Standing
