Peacock Tail Feather
There are many types of birds and they all wear feathers
I should know for I was carried off one day
And many things one can’t explain such as tides and whether
Or not people mean exactly what they say
You miss me since I left you it’s raining while I’m gone
But if you really want me back you’ll listen to my song…
Go and find a Peacock Tail Feather
Hang it on the wall
You can use it to determine whether
I’ll be home by Fall
Then you get that Peacock Tail Feather
Place it on the door
Leave it there to show the neighbors
I’ll be home by four
But if you really need me
You’ll know just what to do
Just go and fetch a fat young goose
And cook enough for two and…
Then you grab that Peacock Tail Feather
Stake it on the moon
Someday soon we’ll be together
I’ll be home by June
I’ll be home very soon!

Nostalgia, me lleno de nostalgia
Al sentirme ausente de mi patria querida
Recordando su gente , sus pueblos, sus praderas
Y mientras más recuerdo, más te quiero Venezuela
Me dicen que ahora estás más bella,
Que los que te visitan se quedan encantados
Se emociona mi alma y emprendo una oración
Dando gracias al cielo y a nuestro Libertador.
Orgullosa me siento al decir "Venezuela"
Pues tienes para todos un poco de amistad
Aquí lo he comprobado desde un pais lejano
Todo el que te visita quiere volver allá.
English Translation:
Nostalgia, I am filled with nostalgia
When I feel far away from my beloved country
Remembering its people, its villages, its meadows...
And the more memories I have, I love you more Venezuela.
They tell me that now you are more beautiful,
That everyone who visits you is enchanted.
It thrills my soul and I undertake a prayer thanking
Heaven and our Deliverer.
I feel proud to say "Venezuela"
Because you have for everyone a bit of friendship.
Even from this far away country, I have the proof
Everyone who visits you wants to return.

Can't stop me now hear what I say
My feet got to move so get out my way
I'm gonna have my say
I'm going to every discotheque
I'm gonna dance dance dance ooh
Till the break of day I say
Shame shame shame, shame on you
If you can't dance too
I say shame shame shame shame shame shame shame
Shame on you
If you can't dance too
Don't stop the motion
If you get the notion
You can't stop the groove
'Cos you just won't move
Got my sun-roof down
Got my diamonds in the back
So put on your shakey wig baby
If you don't I ain't comin' back
(refrain)
If you don't want to go
Remember one monkey don't stop no show
My body needs action ain't gonna blow
Yes I'm going out, I'm going to find a dancin' man
If you really think you're fast
Try to catch me if you can
(Refrain)

Don't stop the motion

If you don't I ain't comin' back

Shame. Shame. Shame on you, if you can't dance too.

Lyrics in Creole and English translation:
La mazouk en avant.
Kavalié ka pointé ,
Les dames subordonnées
Les mains sur le coté.
Robes, jupons, souliers d'or,
Colliers, foulards madras,
Peau kréyol Martinique,
Yo peu di yo joli.
Au bordèl Lè yo bèl!
Yo dou, yo dou, yo dou!
Yo joli, yo joli!
Pa ni, pa ni konsa.
Junn' kon vieu ka pasé,
Étranjé ka rivé,
Yo ka di Martinique
Pa ni pli dou ki sa.
The mazurka is beginning.
The gentlemen are pointing,
The ladies who accompany them
Have their hands on their hips.
Dresses, skirts, gold shoes,
Necklaces, madras scarves,
Creole skin of Martinique,
You can say they are pretty.
They are beautiful!
They are sweet, sweet, sweet!
They are pretty, pretty!
There is none other, none other like them.
Young and old who pass by,
Strangers who arrive.
They will say there is no other place
As sweet as Martinique.

Ben:
You work and work, for years and years,
You're always on the go.
You never take a minute off,
Too busy making dough.
Some day you say, you'll have some fun,
When you're a millionaire.
Imagine all that fun you'll have in your old rocking chair...
Chorus:
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think.
Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink.
The years go by as quickly as a wink.
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself! It's later than you think.
Davis:
You save and scrimp, you scrimp and save,
You're toiling every day.
Then through a series of complex derivitave swaps
Your savings go away.
Stability is relative, you'll always have that fear.
My advice for investing is to buy your friend a beer.
Ben:
I met a man from 'round the block
With two artificial lungs.
Can't smoke no more, can't drink no more
But he still likes to have his fun.
He says to me, "I'm going down
But I'm still in the game you know.
So you run home and get that clarinet and I'll play the piano.
Davis:

Wassail, Wassail
Wassail and Wassail all over the town
The cup it is white and the ale it is brown
The cup it is made of the good ashen tree
And so is the malt of the best barley
For it’s your wassail and it’s our wassail…
And it’s “joy be to you” and a jolly wassail.
There was an old man and he had an old cow
And how for to keep her he didn’t know how
He built up a barn for to keep his cow warm
And a drop or two of cider will do us no harm
No harm, no harm, no harm, no harm…
And a drop or two of cider will do us no harm
Oh where is the maid with the silver headed pin
To open the door and let us come in?
Oh master and missus are sitting by the fire
Pray think upon poor travelers a-travelling in the mire
For it’s your wassail and it’s our wassail…
And it’s “joy be to you” and a jolly wassail.

I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then I won't want you
Everything about to go my way
And I won't need nobody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then I won't want you
You may cry cry cry
You were high high high
You be wondrin' why I don't look at you when I
Go rollin' by
I'm gonna be a wheel someday
I'm gonna be somebody
I'm gonna be a real gone cat
Then I won't want you

Lyrics:
The Tighten Up
(Buttier/Bell. Additional lyrics by Ben Schenck)
Ah, that sounds pretty good.
Let's make a party, y'all. Hey!
Hey everybody, I'm Ben Schenck from the Panorama Jazz Band in New Orleans, Louisiana.
We don't only play jazz but we do all kinds of other styles of music too like Jewish and Caribbean...
Right now we're gonna do a little Top 40 number you might remember from 1968 called "The Tighten Up."
First let's tighten up on the drums.
Aaaw yeah!
A'ight now let's tighten up on the tuba.
That's pretty deep!
Now let's bring that banjo in.
Now tighten up on the accordion.
Ooh, that's nice and tight!
"It's tight like that Louie!"
Lu: "Roger"
Outasite cuz don't forget: Tight Makes Right.
All right well, get ready for the break.
Now make it mellow.
Oh do The Tighten Up, oh yeah.
Now do The Tighten Up, it's all right.
Do it to the left, now do it to the right.
Oh do The Tighten Up, but don't get too tight.
Yeah!
Y'all dancin' out there?
Ah, good.
A'ight well, let's do this again.
Now tighten up on the drums.
Hey look, this time instead of tightening up all the other instruments, let's try a different idea...
Everybody cut loose!
(Instrumental Jam Up)
All right, now make it mellow.
Yeah!
Do The Tighten Up. Oh do The Tighten Up.
Do it to the left and do it to the right.
Do it with the one that you love all night.
But don't get too tight!
All right, this has been a lot of fun y'all.
We had a real good party but we're on a tight schedule.
Now I think it's about time we get out.
Let's make a tight ending.
We're all gonna end together right here.
Everybody on the downbeat.
4 - 3 - 2 - 1!

Miss The Mississippi and You
as performed by the Panorama Jazz Band
Verse:
I'm growing tired of the big city lights
Tired of the glamour and tired of the sights
In all my dreams I am roaming once more
Back to my home on the old river shore
Chorus:
I am sad and weary far away from home
Miss the Mississippi and you dear
Days are dark and dreary everywhere I roam
Miss the Mississippi and you
Roaming the wide world over
Always alone and blue, so blue
Nothing seems to cheer me under heaven's dome
Miss the Mississippi and you
Verse (spoken):
When you live in the city, you end up making all kinda horrible sacrifices
You're unable to connect because you're wedded to your electronic devices!
(sung)
All's I want is to take the canoe,
float down the river and snuggle with you
Chorus:
Memories are bringing happy days of yore
Miss the Mississippi and you
Mocking birds are singing 'round the cabin door
Miss the Mississippi and you
Roamin the wide world over
Always alone and blue
Longing for my homeland, muddy water shore
Miss the Mississippi and you

Sa buhay ko'y labis
Ang hirap at pasakit,
Ng pusong umiibig
Mandi'y wala ng langit
At ng lumigaya, hinango mo sa dusa
Tanging ikaw sinta, ang aking pag-asa.
Dahil sa iyo, nais kong mabuhay
Dahil Sa Iyo, hanggang mamatay
Dapat mong tantuin, wala ng ibang giliw
Puso ko'y tanungin, ikaw at ikaw rin.
Dahil sa iyo, ako'y lumigaya
Pagmamahal, ay alayan ka
Kung tunay man ako, ay alipinin mo
Ang lahat sa buhay ko, dahil sa iyo.
Because of you, there's a joy in living.
Because of you, life is heavenly.
I never lived before, never felt a single thrill before,
My heart stood still before, Darlin' I'm in ecstasy.
Because of you, love is sweet and tender.
And this my love I will offer you:
If you will care for me, all things to you I'll be.
My heart is ever true because of you.
=================================================
English translation of Tagalog lyric:
Long have I endured in my life.
The pain and sorrows from Love arise.
Then you came and redeemed me, my dear,
My only hope in my darkest fears.
Because of you, I yearn to be alive.
Because of you, ‘til death (you) must realize
In my heart I know there is only you.
And ask my heart, you’ll know that this is true.
Because of you, I found happiness.
That to you I offer this love that is so blessed.
Though indeed I may be a slave for loving you so true
It matters not to me, ‘cause everything’s because of you.

I wonder as I wander
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor or'n'ry sinners like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
When Mary birthed Jesus 'twas in a cow's stall
With shepherds and farmers and wise men and all
But high from God's heaven a star's light did fall
And the promise of ages it then did recall
If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing
A star from the sky or a bird on the wing
Or all of God's Angels in heaven to sing
He surely could have it 'cause he was the King
I wonder as I wander out under the sky
How Jesus the Savior did come for to die
For poor or'n'ry sinners like you and like I
I wonder as I wander out under the sky

Oh, didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
Rambled all around, in and out the town
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled til the Butcher cut him down.
His feet was in the market
His head was in the street
All the women passin' by said
"Look at that monkey meat!"
Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled til the Butcher cut him down.

Κανείς Εδώ Δεν Τραγουδά (Kaneis Edo Den Tragouda)
By Nikos Papazoglou
Ραγίζει απόψε η καρδιά
Ragizei apopse i kardia
με το μπαγλαμαδάκι
Me to mpaglamadaki
πολλά κομμάτια έγινε
Polla kommatia egine
σπασμένο ποτηράκι
Spasmeno potiraki
Θυμήθηκα που πίναμε
Thimithika pou piname
σε τούτο το τραπέζι
Se touto to trapezi
τώρα ποιος ξέρει πού γυρνά
Tora poios xerei pou girna
ποιος ξέρει τι γυρεύει
Poios xerei ti girewei
Κανείς εδώ δεν τραγουδά
Kaneis edo den tragouda
κανένας δε χορεύει
Kanenas de horewei
ακούνε μόνο την πενιά
Akoune mono tin penia
κι ο νους τους ταξιδεύει
Ki o nous tous taxidewei
Τυχαία δήθεν αν τη δεις
Tihaia dithen an ti deis
φέρ' την στο ταβερνάκι
Fer'tin sto tavernaki
κρυμμένος θα 'μαι στη γωνιά
Krimmenos tha 'mai sti gonia
για να τη δω λιγάκι
Gia na ti do ligaki
Κανείς εδώ δεν τραγουδά
Kaneis edo den tragouda
κανένας δε χορεύει
Kanenas de horewei
ακούνε μόνο την πενιά
Akoune mono tin penia
κι ο νους τους ταξιδεύει
Ki o nous tous taxidewei
English translation:
No One Here Sings
Today the heart cracks
With the baglama*
It all fell to pieces
Like broken glass
I remembered, we used to drink
At this very table
Now who knows where she's running to
Who knows what she's looking for
No one here sings
No one here dances
They only hear the tune
And their mind drifts
If you happen to see her
Bring her to the tavern
I'll be hidden in the corner
To see her a little
No one here sings
No one here dances
They only hear the tune
And their mind drifts
* A baglama is a small instrument of the lute family. In Greek folk music, it is the symbolic companion of the heart-broken or down-trodden.

REFRAIN:
J'ai compris ta détresse
Cher amoureux
Et je cède à tes voeux
Fais de moi ta maîtresse
Loin de nous la sagesse
Plus de tristesse
J'aspire à l'instant précieux
Où nous serons heureux
Je te veux
Je n'ai pas de regrets
Et je n'ai qu'une envie
Près de toi là tout près
Vivre toute ma vie
Que mon corps soit le tien
Que ta lèvre soit mienne
Que ton coeur soit le mien
Et que toute ma chair soit tienne
REFRAIN
Oui je vois dans tes yeux
La divine promesse
Que ton coeur amoureux
Vient chercher ma caresse
Enlacés pour toujours
Brûlant des mêmes flammes
Dans un rêve d'amour
Nous échangerons nos deux âmes
REFRAIN
English translation:
REFRAIN:
I understand your distress
Dear lover
And I yield to your wishes
Make me your mistress
Far from us is wisdom
No more sadness
I look forward to the beautiful moment
When we will be happy
I want you
I have no regrets
And I have only one desire
Beside you there so close
To live all my life
May my body be yours
May your lips be mine
May your heart be mine
And may all my flesh be yours
REFRAIN
Yes I see in your eyes
The divine promise
That your loving heart
Comes looking for my caress
Joined forever
Burning in the same flames
In a dream of love
We will swap our two souls

In The Summertime (Updated lyrics by Ben Schenck)
In the summertime when the weather is fine
You can reach right up and you can touch the sky.
When the weather's fine you got livin', you got rhythm on your mind.
Grab a friend, take a drive, go out and see what you can find.
If her daddy's poor take him out for a meal,
If her daddy's rich, shoot, order the veal!
Park along the lake, you can kiss or just discuss philosophy.
Just don't do nothin' for which you might owe an apology.
When the weather's fine, yeah it's party party time,
We like to dance and play while we push the paradigm.
Get some drums and horns, makin' rhythm with some wisdom is the key.
Add a banjo and accordion for that epic auditorium harmony!

Lately you been driving me crazy
What have I done to you?
Honey, I ain't got no more money

Every time that we go out
This is all you talk about
Things I did and things I do
What you want poor little me to do?

(Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I
Pardon Me if I'm sentimental when we say good-bye.
Don't be angry with me if I cry.
When you're gone, yet I dream a little dream of years gone by.
Now and then there's a fool such as I.
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you.
You taught me how to love and now you say that we are through.
I'm a fool but I love you dear, until the day I die.
Now and then there's a fool such as I.
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you.
You taught me how to live and now you say that we are through.
I'm a fool but I love you dear, until the day I die.
Now and then there's a fool such as I am over you.
Now and then there's a fool such as I.

Box Car Shorty
Well I’ve got to tell you ‘bout this mighty man
Mighty man from across the pond
Box Car Shorty is the man I mean
Chunky, short in height but like dynamite
He's so witty and so powerful
Moves boxcars, don’t care near or far
Shorty got his name from boxcar fame
But that isn’t all, he answers any call
Chorus:
Shorty, Box Car Shorty
Shorty, you’re just a wonder man
Lord, man, you just kickin’
Mighty, with everyone you walk
Shorty, Box Car Shorty
Shorty, you set the world to talk
Sly like a mongoose, chock full of might
Got all de world, man, it's lock up tight
Verse:
Shorty said that he would love to fly
Way up high past the stratosphere
Once up there nobody would deny
That he'd land on Mars and solve the cause of wars
Chorus
Verse:
So, he went up in a yaeroplane
Somersault, landed on his head
Crowd start yelling, thought that he was dead
But he got right up and wiped his face instead!

Ben: "Ah, sly one... You say the lady of the house is in, and the gentleman of the house is in. Well then I take it that they are both in, yes?"

(Out chorus)
"My heart is aching with a pain
Although there ain't no sign of rain
So haste my love, I can't wait much longa
My weakness is gettin' stronga!
When your sweety ain't around
It's just like music without a sound
Let's have ham n eggs ev'ry day
In that happy land far away!

Mark Rubin, Jew of Oklahoma, here with the Panorama Jazz Band wishing you and yours a happy Hanukkah from down here in balmy New Orleans. Let's play a little dreidel!
It's my favorite time of year, gather family far and near.
Its called the festival of lights, we light the candle each eight nights.
There's kreplekh and gefilte fish, that's cousin Channah's favorite dish.
Bubbe, Zeyde tantz a valtz, smell the latkes fry in shmaltz.
Let's all go
Play spin the dreidel dreidel, play spin the dreidel.
It's the feast of Hanukkah come dance as long you're able. (2x)
Menorah in the window bright illuminates the darkest night
For the Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Jew, Hindu, Apikorsim* too!
Let's all
Come spin the dreidel dreidel, play spin the dreidel.
It's the feast of Hanukkah, you're welcome at the table.
Come spin the dreidel dreidel, play spin the dreidel.
It's the feast of Hanukkah, let's dance while we are able.
Ha ha ha! Come on gimel! Papa needs some gelt!
(Ins Yiddish)
Breng mir broyt un breng mir vayn, lomir ale freylekh zeyn!
kh'hob shoyn latkes, fleysh un fish un a vays bedektn tish.**
Let's all
Spin spin the dreidel dreidel, spin spin the dreidel.
It's the feast the Haunukkah let's dance as long we're able.
Spin spin the dreidel dreidel, spin spin the dreidel.
It's the feast the Haunukkah you're welcome at the table.
Zets!***
*Non-believers (ie "Epicureans")
**Bring me bread and bring me wine, let's all be happy!
I already have latkes, meat and fish and a white covered table.
***Yiddish exclamation

Bridge Over Troubled Water
When you're weary, feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Sail on silver girl, sail on by
Your time has come to shine all your dreams are on their way
see how they shine if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind

La Negra Atilia
Al comienzo del día temprano sale la Negra Atilia
con su canasto tejido donde lleva lo de vender
no son las 5 aún todavia no hay cielo azul
que anuncie la mañana
rumbo al mercado de Porlamar la negrita va.
Franela china de algodón y Blumas de nylon
el alcoholado español, los naipes y el mentol
la blusa fina, el jabón y crema de tocador
cuando el sol se apareció la negra Atilia vendió todo
= = =
English translation:
Negra Atilia goes out very early at the beginning of the day
with her woven basket where she has things to sell.
It's not 5am yet, there is no blue sky announcing the morning.
She is on her way to the market in Porlamar.
Chinese cotton shirts and nylon undergarments,
Spanish balms, playing cards and menthol,
fancy blouses, soaps and creams...
When the sun arrives, Negra Atilia has sold everything.

Although our version is an instrumental, my teachers always said a jazz musician has to know the lyrics.
Till There Was You (Meredith Willson)
There were bells on a hill
But I never heard them ringing
No, I never heard them at all
Till there was you.
There were birds in the sky
But I never saw them winging
No, I never saw them at all
Till there was you.
And there was music and wonderful roses
They tell me
In sweet, fragrant meadows
Of dawn and dew.
There was love all around
But I never heard it singing
No I never heard it at all
Till there was you.

I almost Forgot About The Blues
Charlie Wood
I used to have a lot of luck
Yeah but all of it was bad
Lost my love and my way and my mind
I lost everything I had
I was starting to think
I had nothing left to lose
But I almost forgot about the blues
I heard a woman speak kind words
I felt her touch and I saw her smile
Thought that love had finally come my way and I...
And I hoped that it would stay a while.
Yeah my heart and soul were happy
Til my head told them the news
That I almost forgot about the blues
I tried to run and hide away
Where trouble could not find me
Yeah but every time I turned around
The blues was right behind me
I thought my luck finally changing
Thought my ship was coming in
I fantasized about barflies
Telling folks they knew me when
I got tangled up somewhere
between the sweet talk and the booze
And I almost forgot about the blues
I never looked for trouble
I tried to live a quiet way
Many moons might pass quite peacefully
But there always come a day
So the whiskey isn't working
The well is running dry
It's too tragic just to laugh it off but it's too
Comical to cry
I'm just trying to find some peace of mind
And I'm wondering what I could use
'Cause I almost forgot
I nearly forgot
Yes I almost forgot about the blues

(I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My) Sister Kate
Wish I could shimmy like my sister Kate.
Shakes like jelly on the plate!
My mama told me last night she said
Why all the boys treat Kate so right. Well...
All the boys in the neighborhood
Say she can really wiggle and it's understood.
I may be late but I'll be up-to-date
If I can shake it like my sister Kate
Oh yeah
Shimmy like my sister Kate!

Mamselle Josephine, li resté dan la ri Dauphine
Glissé ainsi un bobine et cassé to ti jamb fine

Si vous cui un poule po moi, cui li sans un fricassé
Pas blié po met la sauce tomate avec un gros gallon du vin.

Miss Josephine stayed on Dauphine Street
Slipped on a bobbin and broke her fine little leg
Sali Dame (either "hello lady," "salty lady" or "dirty lady." Or all three) hello.
Sali Dame let me see your big black ass!
If you cook a chicken for me, cook it in a fricassee
Don't forget to add the tomato sauce with a big gallon of wine.

Lacking fun activities
Using creativity
For Holiday festivities
Staying safe at home.

This one is an instrumental but, if you want to sing along, here are the lyrics to the original version by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. Words and music by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio.
Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
Pardon the way that I stare
There's nothing else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it's real
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright, I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night, I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray, oh pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright I need you, baby
To warm a lonely night, I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray, oh pretty baby
Now that I found you, stay, oh pretty baby
Trust in me when I say

People! Listen to me.
This whole damn situation lookin' pretty gloomy.
We got dead fish floatin' in the water,
Dead birds flyin' in the sky,
Dead trees goin' up in smoke
while dead people look you in the eye.
Collapsing ecosystems, dysfunctional economy,
All perpetuated by this illusion of autonomy.
It's time to turn on the Light,
wake up the people
And live.
We got a lotta problems people
But I believe that they can be solved!
(Help me out Green Taggers)
One!
Let's set aside our grievances,
Two!
Form new allegiances,
Three!
Roll up our sleeves
Four.
And get involved.
Turn on the Light!
Wake up the people
And live.
Yeah.
People! We're not awake.
Still livin' that nightmare 'bout bein' separate drops of water.
Ha! Lookin' for the Lake.
Dehumanizing others,
Abusing sisters, executing brothers.
I refuse to be smothered under plastic and lies!
Let's open our eyes, we better get wise.
Just gimme good air, water, food, shelter, community.
Every global crisis is a global opportunity.
For generations our mother has been under attack.
It's time to wake up y'all
And scale it back.
Turn on the Light!
Wake up, people
And live.
I mean really live!
I feel right in this moment,
I feel good in this moment.
I feel right in this moment,
I feel good in this moment!
(Green Taggers)
I feel right in this moment,
I feel good in this moment.
I feel right in this moment,
I feel good in this moment!

Morgus The Magnificent
On Saturday nights when we go for a date
My Baby and I just sit and wait for
Morgus, the Magnificent
We don’t go out to roll and rock
We get our kicks from the House of Shock
He’s got shaggy hair and a graveyard stare
With vampire blood spilled everywhere that
Morgus, the Magnificent
We don’t go out to roll and rock
We get our kicks from the House of Shock
If you want a thrill, turn the lights down low
Get set for the ghoul who’ll steal the show that
Morgus, the Magnificent
We don’t go out to roll and rock
We get our kicks from the House of Shock

Lyrics:
I'm leaving it all up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through?
I was a fool in the past
Might've known it wouldn't last
Now do you want my love
Or are we through?
I got my heart in my hand
Ooh baby, I don't understand
What have I done wrong
You know I worship the ground you walk on
That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through?
I got my heart in my hand
Ooh baby, I don't understand
What have I done wrong
You know I worship the ground you walk on
That's why I'm leaving it up to you
You decide what you're gonna do
Now do you want my love
Or are we through?
Are we through?

Enjoy Yourself (COVID Edition)
“Hey everybody, this is Ben Schenck from the Panorama BRASS Band here in New Orleans, Louisiana. These are weird and scary times but, you know what? You still gotta enjoy yourself.”
You can’t go out, you stuck at home
Just playin’ solitaire
Cuz all your work, and all your gigs
Just vanished in thin air
You check your feed, you find a link
To join some friends on Zoom
Then someone puts on Spotify and you dance
Around the room.
Everybody…
(Chorus)
Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think
Enjoy yourself, while you’re still in the pink
The years go by as quickly as a wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think
Aurora! Enjoy yourself!
(Jack: Hey Ben, hey Ben
Ben: wha? Huh?
Jack: Can I smoke on this take?
Ben: Oh yeah, go ‘head Jack. Enjoy yourself)
You work from home and watch the kids
And pull out all your hair
But when it comes to your wardrobe
You’re pretty laissez-faire
Your deadline looms, the pressure mounts
You haven’t got a prayer
At least you get to do it all
In just your underwear
(Oh, look at y’all, so cute, struttin’ around in your little skimpies)
(Oh yeah Mark, go ‘head. Enjoy yourself.)
You’re doing great, you’re making bank
You’re raking in the cash
Cuz right before the virus hit
You bought up all the masks
You’d like to use your newfound wealth
To lend a helping hand
Might I suggest a couple of ways
To support your favorite band, yeah!
(Chorus)
"Yaaaaaaaay! Everybody! Enjoy yourself!
Don’t worry y’all, we’ll get through this. Maybe even sooner than you think."

My love must be a kind of blind love
I can’t see anyone but you.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don’t know if it’s cloudy or bright
I only have eyes for you, dear.
The moon may be high
But I can’t see a thing in the sky
I only have eyes for you.
I don’t know if we’re in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue.
You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you.
You…
You…

I'm pissed off tonight
Goin' to a party
Everybody there
Everybody FED UP
Everybody agree, no fair...
Bad Times!
It's all messed up
Bad Times!
This here's no good
Bad Times!
There's a bug on the wall
Bad Times!
There's a bug in the food
Talkin' to my baby
It's us against the world
Talkin' to my buddy
Complainin' 'bout that girl
Bad Times!
It's all fucked up
Bad Times!
This AIN'T no good
Bad Times!

Lullay thou little tiny child
Bye bye lully lullay
Lullay thou little tiny child
Bye bye lully lullay
O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we sing
"Bye bye lully lullay"
Herod the king, in his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might in his own sight
All children young to slay
Then woe is me poor child for thee
And ever mourn and say
For thy parting nor say nor sing
"Bye bye lully lullay"
Aaaaaah, aaaaah...
Bye bye lully lullay
