Mikey 03:39
Mikey Now Mikey could climb trees he played in the forest, he laughed and he talked to the sun He rode on his horse, he rode on his bike, he thought he came from the stars Yes Mikey would dream at night, dream of a special light shining down from the sky Oh Mikey why did you have to go and leave me all alone, I promised I'd not say a word Oh Mikey how could I have known One morning so early dear Mikey went walking, a long long way he did go Finally he stopped he knew not how he got there, to him it seemed all like a dream Now Mikey looked down and saw there before him a hole so deep in the ground He raised up his arms as he started to fall, he smiled and whispered good bye Oh Mikey why did you have to go and leave me all alone, We could have been best friends forever having so much fun Please come back Mikey, stay with me, won't you be my friend I promised I'd not say a word Oh Mikey how could I have known, come back...

Mr. Davis and His Cat Mr. Davis and his cat were really something special You could see them everyday at three riding in his Edsel Down the highway they would ride his cat up on the dashboard Now and then a stop or two then off they'd go again Everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat On Mondays they would go downtown to Alpha's hardware store Talk to Pete and Bob and Bill about the first world war They'd laugh a bit and yell a lot and sometimes cry some too But most of all they'd share old times the way old people do Everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat Tuesday's were the day for food they'd shop three different markets First they'd go to get canned foods at the Plaza Grocery Then up they'd walk to the City Market, my how they did like to shop Hello Ralph, Hello Gladys, they'd say as they bought their milk Then off they'd go to Purity to buy the freshest meats Everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat Now Wednesdays were a different day, you know the middle of the week So nothing much would happen then, they'd both get lots of sleep Thursdays were a special time, they'd walk to Pioneer Park They'd watch the Babe Ruth baseball games and cheer the home team on Mr. Davis and his cat really liked dear Pioneer Park, they stay as late as possible until it go too dark Yes everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat Fridays were the day they went without eating meat, I don't think his cat liked that, well not so very much Well Saturdays were a lazy day, hardly anyone had to work Most folks would have a bath, dress up for a night on the town But Mr. Davis and his cat weren't ones for doing that They'd stay at home and watch TV, I think it was Lawrence Welk Yes everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat Sundays Mr. Davis would go to church and pray, his cat would stay at home, I don't know why it was that way They'd have an early supper and retire to their beds, the cat would softly purr as Mr. Davis rubber her head Everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat Yes everyone knew Mr. Davis and his little cat Mr. Davis and his cat were really something special I'll always remember them, for you see I bought his Edsel

Born To Serve Harry was born before his time He never quite seemed to fit Harry had sent the world The good , the bad, he never missed a trick So many years had come and gone since Harry arrived He'd grown quite tired of serving this life Without ever knowing just why Harry was a good man, at least that's what I've heard He'd help old people end their day And pass them through this life Harry had been born to serve, but who, he was not sure So Harry dug a hole one day and buried himself alive Harry felt he'd be better off dead without ever knowing just why

Little Bessie There's something that I saw inside your room last night That made me want to go away and hide somewhere But something that I saw made me promise Not to ever say a word If only I could tell you what it was inside your room Oh then maybe we would not be in this boiling pot of stew Really messy, kinda guessy, Little Bessie was a cow Took a number in the thunder while the old man ate cucumbers It was hazy in the west where the sun made Frank a pest A bit of water for my father would have been the prefect gift If not for Larry who should have married, all the rich and lazy fairies Really messy, kinda guessy, Little Bessie is a cow Went to the coast to eat Chuck roast and have a real fine time Climbed a tree in the middle of the sea and played a game of penuckle It was hazy in the west where the sun made Frank a pest A bit of water for my father is the prefect gift If not for Larry who finally did marry, all the rich and lazy fairies Really messy, kinda guessy, Little Bessie died a cow There's something that I saw inside your room last night That made me want to go away and hide somewhere But something that I saw made me promise Not to ever say a word, a word If only I could tell you what it was inside your room Oh then maybe we would not be in this boiling pot of stew Mmm, no, uh uh… It was hazy in the west where the sun made Frank a pest Frankie Frankie is a pest he's got lots of hairs all over his chest They itch and itch won't give him no rest That's why Frankie's such a pest He's a pest
