The Perfect Example.
.
If a space man asked me
What's a woman like
I'd say park your space ship
This could take all night,
I'd crack open a bottle
And throw the cap away
Honey I'd focus on you
With every word I say.
.
Cause you're the perfect example
Silky hair, soft smooth skin
Eyes that hypnotise and mesmerize
Curves to get lost in,
Educating a space man
Would be easy to do
Honey you're the perfect example
No woman beats you.
.
Well if he shook both of his heads
And didn't understand
I'd take him to the beach
And draw in the sand,
I'd sketch him a picture
Of your naked body
His four eyes would pop out
And he'd wish he was me.
.
Cause you're the perfect example
Luscious lips, warm and sweet
A joy to hold with a heart of gold
Nimble on your feet,
Educating my space friend
Would be easy to do
Honey you're the perfect example
No woman beats you.
.
bridge
If he said he'd heard about pretty creatures
In magazines and videos
Honey I'd scratch my chin and tell him
They're all fakes and weirdos.
.
Yes you're the perfect example
Tender touch, pure and kind
Natural style with a magical smile
Easy on my mind,
His green pals would turn blue
When he spread the news
Honey you're the perfect example
No woman beats you.
Yes honey you're the perfect example
No woman beats you.

For Doing What's Right.
.
The Rascals beat the Dodgers to top the league
The first trophy they'd won in a while
Me and Jake we headed downtown
Determined to celebrate in style,
Like brave commandos on a mission
We planned to drink the town dry
We never knew before the night was through
One of us would die.
.
Well we rolled and tumbled from bar to bar
Singing and dancing in every street
Riding on a wave of jubilation
In the sticky summertime heat.
People laughed but we didn't care
We were busy living the dream
Until a girl who was aptly named Pearl
Arrived on the scene.
.
She looked stunning in every dimension
Her long wavy hair as black as tar
I swiftly abandoned the mission
The moment she entered the bar,
Couldn't control my imagination
Saw her naked body next to mine
With no alarm I would give my right arm
To turn back time.
.
It wasn't just me who had a vivid mind
Rivalry reared it's big ugly head
I got in a fight with a skinny kid
Didn't know he was packing lead,
He threw his best punch but I didn't flinch
Just clenched my fist and shoved him
I knew inside that with one good right
I'd break his scrawny chin.
.
I pinned him to the bar and raised my fist
Jake dived in and pushed us apart
A shot rang out and Jake fell down
With the bullet deep in his heart,
The kid ran off at breakneck speed
And Pearl was nowhere in sight
I knelt and cried as my best friend died
For doing what's right.
.
The blade of guilt
Is sharper than any knife
And it will cut me
For the rest of my life.
.

Smooth Talkin Romeo.
.
I heard there's been shenanigans goin on
You were downtown when I was gone
Who's the stranger with the devilish grin
He's got iron muscles and a chisel chin.
.
chorus
Baby tell me, I wanna know
Who's the smooth talkin romeo.
.
It's as clear as a digital photograph
He bought you drinks and he made you laugh
You danced with him to a country band
And left at midnight holding his hand.
.
Baby tell me,  I wanna know
Who's the smooth talkin romeo.
.
For two whole weeks I've been out west
And you must've been lonely I guess
But baby I've been workin and stayin true
Just savin my money to spend on you.
.
bridge
I wont go round and start a fight
Wont bust his nose or get uptight
I just wanna tell him he can take my place
Then I'll be right back to pack my suitcase.
.
chorus
Baby tell me, I wanna know
Who's the smooth talkin romeo.
Who's the smooth talkin romeo.
.
Yes I heard there's been shenanigins goin on.

Share My Heart With You.

When you're lost in a world that doesn't care
And every road is leading nowhere
I will run my fingers through your hair
And share my heart with you.
.
When the sun surrenders to the silver moon
And every star sings a lonesome tune
I will hold you like a rose in bloom
And share my heart with you.
.
I loved you from the start
It's no coincidence
You filled my empty heart
With love and confidence
.
I would freeze to keep you safe and warm
Run naked through the wildest storm
I would adopt any shape or form
To share my heart with you.
.
Tomorrow can be just passage in time
Another hill or mountain to climb
But every day is sweet and sublime
When I share my heart with you.

I Want Him Back.

.

Hey mister policeman I'm here to report a theft

My baby's gone and here's the note she left,

I found it in the kitchen near the frying pan

It says she's heading south with another man.

.

chorus

She's broken my heart

But I don't care about that

She stole my dog

And I want him back.

.

He's a small mongrel terrier called Deadlock

He's brown and black and his tail is docked

I bought him from a friend when he was a pup

For seven years he's been my faithful mutt.

.

chorus.

.

Here's a recent picture of his cute furry face

I want the FBI and CIA on the case

I dug up this bone that he stashed away

It should be easy to get his DNA.

.

chorus

bridge

I don't blame her for checking out on me

She was probably,  at her wits end

I like going walkies at midnight

But she had no right, to steal my best friend.

.

chorus/last two lines repeated.

Guitar For Sale.

.

I bought a guitar the other day

Thought I'll teach myself to play

And seranade my baby,

I was practicin last night

She got all uptight

Said my chops were drivin her crazy.

.

chorus

Guitar for sale

Almost new

Got a hard case

And a cool strap too,

She'd rather listen

To a dyin whale

Grab a bargain

Guitar for sale.

.

I had visions of strummin

And watchin her sucummin

Under a silver moon,

I saw myself on one knee

With a rose in my teeth

But I didn't even get it in tune.

.

chorus

.

bridge

I'm sure I would've impressed her

By the middle of July

She'dve been wide eyed and gooey

With a two chord lullaby,

But she never gave me the chance

To hone my guitar skills

I  gotta live with the fact

That I'll never be a Stephen Stills.

.

chorus

Inspiration.

.

Did you hear what Leonardo did

While Mona Lisa was posin

He switched the heatin off

So she'd get frozin,

Phoned his buddy Ludwig

Said heh come see this

When Lu saw them goosebumps

He said wow I'm gonna write the fifth.

.

chorus

Inspiration

Can't live without it

It's the best medicine

No doubt about it,

A doctor can't cure

A dull imagination

Everybody needs

Inspiration.

.

Well Columbus was born in Italy

Back in

He was gonna be an opera singer

But he bit a hole in his tongue.

He met a gal in Spain

And they got chattin

When she touched his telescope

He went oo think I'll discover Manhattan.

.

chorus.

.

Well Isaac Newton wasn't alone

Underneath that apple tree

He was havin a picnic

With Elsie from Tennessee,

He tried to kiss her

But she headed to town

That's when Isaac discovered

What goes up has to come back down.

.

chorus

Anything For My Baby.
.
Well my baby wants a boob job
And a silky smooth complexion
So I'm takin out a bank loan
And selling my Elvis collection,
I saw the surgeons brochure
It's packed with gorgeous babes
She wants to look like Liz from Texas
On the twenty second page.
.
chorus
Anythin for my baby
I'll do anythin,
She doesn't have to ask twice
There's nothing I wont sacrifice
And I dont say maybe,
I'll do anythin
Anything for my baby.
.
It's gonna cost seven gees
The bank are lending me five
If I cant sell my king stuff
I'll pawn my four wheel drive,
She's hired a private astrologer
For advice and guidance
To pay his bills I deliver pizzas
Tuesday nights and weekends.
.
chorus
bridge
Baby went under the knife last week
She's finding it tough to speak
Her skin is stapled tight,
Below her pretty shoulders
She's got two lovely boulders
But one looks like it put up a fight,
She mumbled somethin about Jupiter
And an opportunity she's gotta take
I'm payin her trip to Hollywood
By cleaning windshields on my lunchbreak.

chorus

Well if a space man asked me
