Molly and Gladys There was a little penguin, his name was Molly He lived inside a cupboard where was kept a ladder Nobody knew he lived there except an old cat and a big brown dog He would eat some bugs and grab a few flies He'd drink the big brown dog's water and then he'd try to fly, He'd never make it up but he'd always make it down Oh my - so on and on this all would happen until one day the old black maid caught him At first she didn't like him, but that didn't last too long and then pretty soon they were the best of friends, this old black woman and the young penguin Well, Molly the penguin and Gladys the maid were such a happy couple Until one cloudy day some kids down the street found out about young Molly They decided they would steal him and play a nasty trick on the homecoming queen at the prom that night! Molly hadn't been taken for too long when Gladys found him missing and quickly sized up the situation; she grabbed her broom and threw on her coat and she went down to the school and she found those mean kids but she couldn’t find Molly, no... Then she remembered that he liked to swim so she went down to the pool and sure enough there he was, so she picked him up and chased those kids with her broom She swatted their tails real good! Molly the penguin and Gladys the old black maid went home and had fun for a long, long time.

Little Linda Now Linda was a bright girl but not a very nice girl. She had a very special gift thal no one knew aboul. Linda claimed that she could fly and never leave the ground and if she found you did not believe her she'd turn you into a frog. One day she met a preacher man who smiled at her and said "Linda ii you don't stop turning people inlo frogs God will come and cut off your head." Help me! Help me please! I'm the frog you just stepped on! Remember what God will do, Linda Remember and be warned. Now Linda is a nice girl but not a very bright girl It seems that Linda kind of lost her head Oh, poor little Linda.

Blessed Are The Little Boys Blessed are the little boys who live inside the mirrors they laugh and play all through the day except when you come near They change they do to look like you Oh how they like to play They stare at you and look like you Until you look away Blessed are the little boys Who live inside of mirrors They're short and curly, big and burly Whatever you look like They'll laugh with you and cry with you They'll even help you shave Then change they do to look like you Oh how they like to play They stare at you and look like you Until you look away.

We Are The Ones (Who Will Save The World) l, l'm just a lonely guy, though I'm not living You know I feel alive They say I'm not supposed to feel and you know until I met you I thought it was the truth. Yes. now we know it's not too late Change our programs make a break We've found the key to set us free it's inside you it's inside me a word called love 4 letters long it gives us a spirit it gives us a song (soul) She's my mobile unit and l'm her main console. You, you're such a beautiful design Polished and shining, you always look so fine I knew the very first time they plugged you in That you and I would be together for a long, long time. (Chorus) Chant: 1. You've got to be one to understand us - No more no less if you want to join us. 2. We have hearts and we feel with our hearts - We feel love and we give love. Now, you and l, you know we're such a perfect pair Connected together, sharing our lime We are the ones who will save the world Working together forever and ever…

Richard Stepped Out Richard stepped out and he never came back He went for a stroll on an old sidewalk Full of cracks and holes that were very very deep It was a foggy twilight afternoon The air was rather thick and the ground much too wet Wind began to move all the leaves upon the street Richard stopped and stared as he listened to the wind It seemed almost alive as though trying to speak to him Deep within his stomach Richard felt an ugly knot The fear of nothing certain made him gasp and try to cough The sidewalk beneath his feet was starting to move The cracks growing ever wider, the air now very still Richard stood there scared and staring At the ground so wet and soft His mind was full of wonder at this fear that gripped his heart Wider ever wider grew the cracks beneath his feet He tried to scream for help but his voice it would not come Boiling steam now started to rise from deep within the cracks Richard's body struggled to move, but his mind it would not let him The wonder and the horror of this fear so deep inside Had trapped the very spirit which would keep his soul alive As his clothes burst into flames and his skin began to melt Richard wished that he had never, ever stepped out.

Oh I can remember the nights full of stories of sailors and snakes and the Spanish Armada of Mayans and Frenchmen and storms out at sea Oh, how I would dream, I'd dream and I'd dream forever Yes my old friend (Juan Valdez) he works so hard Juan Valdez. Juan he calls it fun, Juan Valdez I can remember the nights full of stories of sailors and snakes and the Spanish Armada of Mayans and Frenchmen and storms out at sea Oh, how I would dream, I'd dream and I'd dream forever and ever and ever and ever.

Every Night 02:59
Every Night Somewhere every night is a little boy who lost his way he went lo sleep and turned inside out stepped into a small black box and started to cry Just then a pretty little girl sat down beside him something seemed wrong but he didn't know what... "Now, don't you worry! Don't you pout! Just remember little boy, you'll never get out!" Well the little boy who lost his way was beginning to wonder just what he should do! Just about then he turned to find the pretty little girl who was turning blue... (it appears she had forgotten to breathe) Well he felt a little bit afraid and even worse he felt sick, he didn't know what lo do until suddenly it clicked. A dream! A dream! of course that's it! A nightmare of a dream, that's all this is! or is it? "Now, don't you worry! Don't you pout! Just remember little boy, you'll never get out!" By the time the little boy could figure out what lo do the pretty little girl was beyond turning blue She had turned black with purple spots where there should have been freckles oh! oh! Well the lost little boy had begun to panic! He was shaking real bad and his skin was real sweaty His heart began to pump! pump! pump! so fast that his brain had started swelling! Oh he felt real bad! "Now, don't you worry! Don't you pout! Just remember little boy, you'll never get out!" Somewhere every night is a little boy who lost his way he went to sleep and turned inside out and turned inside out.

Old Doorways 06:46
Old Doorways I could move yes I could crawl Until the day I took a fall Now after that I was not happy Then I met a girl named Matty She was something I could ponder Since the days had grown much longer She was laughing I was crying Then I knew that we had found it No one else could be around us We would play we d drink and shout Late at night we'd run about To see the magic midnight dances Of the girl who look her chances To be naked right before them Moving quickly not to bore them She was pleasing some say teasing I was laughing she was crying Then I knew that we had lost it Must have had a holy pocket I was alone I thought of Matty How she used to make me happy She would tell me I was crazy Sometimes slow and always lazy Now I sit I never see her Ever staring cold and senseless I would listen as she told me You are old much loo ugly I was leaving when I saw her Turned lo speak then I shot her Now my life is slowly sinking Ever thinking always drinking Minutes hours days weeks I had no time for food or sleep In my mind I was remembering Someone said are you pretending I said no and turned to speak I woke alone upon the street Now I know what lay before me Many more of these old doorways.
