In the sixties I went to university
where I experienced much diversity
For example, among fraternities
mine went from ‘Kegs-a-Tappin’
to ‘Pills-a-Poppin’
~ LSD, we were a-droppin’
Athletics were a big deal too
freshman year we were football champs
senior year, listened to Led Zeppelin’s mega-amps
Then there was good old politickin’
After Kent State life was great
Semester cancelled, May 14 the date…
To let us work for our 'favorite candidate'
Mine wore 6-inch heels, raised my pulse rate…
Oh, I learned a whole lot in school
~ mostly, how to break the rules

With a big wide grin
wobbled round my chin
past the mouth, nearly fell in
carried on like a wheelspin
it really was bubblin
no worry or a troublin
no cares to multiply or go doublin
the dimensions I now go travellin
these mysteries I keep unravellin
this universal potential i'm tappin in
the cotton wool skin I find that i'm wrapped in
or as my soul would say trapped in
either way i'm physically strapped in
the human limitations are capped in
as everyday life rushes back in
the clock grinds heavily as time hits full swing
and so does the dreary morning begin!

There is a band called "Worries" in my head,
every time I close my eyes I can see them playing
the drummer plays the loudest,
one foot Bang Bang BANGing on the bass
one hand rippling the same beat between two snares,
and the other hand annoying the hell out of me
tappin on that triangle bell...
the guitarist standin on my brain,
plucking hard on the strings, literally pulling
got my hair fallin out on me...
this band called "Worries" got me stressin
can’t sleep, because at all times of the night
they be playin so loudly...
got me doubting if ill every dream
can't get no peace with the pianist bangin on those keys..
DUNT DUNT DUNT DUUUUUUH!!!
...and the lead singer aint no help singing
" worries ooo worries wont you please worry me!"
but the worst part of it all is when i realize
that the Lead singer, piano player, the guitarist and drum player
were all ME..!

When I was young
this was much older
I'm now a bit smarter
then I was bolder
Didn't worry what would happen
or what I was gonna do
my toes they were a tappin
now I just tie my shoe
When I used to walk around
I moved like I was flowin
now if I have to go
I wonder why I goin
If I can make it to 80
will these days look good?
maybe then just maybe
I'll be thankful to have stood

Better watch watcha do around the lab.
Dont let your hunch backed assistant play with chemicals.
Get your head out the coffin and your mother and law
off the slab.
For strange brew.
Can re animate old fiends.
And really mess with you.
One two three four.
You blink and from the grave rises more.
Yes your new discovery wont get your fellow mad
scientest clappin.
they just eat my neighbors oh well you reply.
Zombies happen.
They called out the national gaurd seems ive created a mess.
People screaming what shall we do?
well run would be a good guess.
His worm filled mouth is open and i dont think
mr zombie wants a kiss.
people sreaming and running in terror shopping at
walmart has never been like this.
Uncle Walter after only seventy years its wonderful
thoose skeletal toes a tappin.
It's become wide spread so I must say.
My bad ya'll but zombies happen.

Come dance with me my sight full friend.
We'll dress in Kelly green.
Twirl me through yon branches then,
Come help my heart to keen.
I know ye hear the the music lad,
I've seen yer tappin feet.
The notes are high, and so am I,
come swing me to the beat
Let's skip an' dance in wild romance.
Come whirl and twirl a while.
Your secrets safe wi me me lad,
Oh now I see y' smile!
away, awa, we'll dance so far,
y'll swear we've come aboot.
Just have a sip from this wee jar,
Before ye've taken root.
