SpinTunes 2020 Winter Warm-up 2020 #2 'Say My Name'

Post by BoffoYux »

Brian Gray - Svengoolie

It seems like every year there’s, some kind of new frontier to boldly go through.
And every day you hear of, something you should have fear of. Let us show you.
But there are moments between the latest, greatest machine. I think you know what I mean: the times of

Something to hold to <<Learning how to ride a bike, baseball when they’re not on strike>>
Something to count on <<Melodies to harmonize, chasing after fireflies>>
And me and you, a garden view, and a million songs to write, and Svengoolie on Saturday night

When times are not as rosy, we still can watch Lugosi sagely skirt the sun
Under a grainy moon, a little Chaney Jr. never hurt no one
Between a bubbling vat and beaked skeleton rat, there stands the Man in the Hat to bring you

Something to hold to <<Footie in a moccasin, stories where the good guys win>>
Something to count on <<Hiking in the chaparral, scientific rationale>>
And me and you, a barbecue, and a million songs to write, and Svengoolie on Saturday night

And I realize the real world’s still out there, and oftentimes unkind
But let this unofficial chicken thrower help you find

Something to hold to <<Beatles singing “Yesterday”, sunset over Hudson Bay>>
Something to count on <<Wrapping up inside a hug, cocoa in a Simpsons mug>>
And me and you, the songs we knew, and a million more to write, and Svengoolie on Saturday night

Something to hold to <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>>
Something to count on <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>>
And me and you, the morning dew, and a million songs to write, and Svengoolie on Saturday night

Something to hold to <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>>
Something to count on <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>>
Something to hold to <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>>
Something to count on <<Lalalalalala, lalalalalalala>>

All The Robots - Mrs

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
Rudolf, Kris Kringle and Frosty the Snowman
Plus there’s this woman whose name you don’t know, man

It’s Mrs.
Mrs. Claus
Mrs.
She’s just Mrs. because
She don’t have a first name like Nicholas
Or it’s not apparent like “Kris” is
So we have to call her the Mrs.
Though she’s the first lady of Christmas
Mrs. Claus

I’m trying to feel the true spirit of Christmas
Merrily caroling, can’t stay oblivious
Obvious now to me how messed up this is
I know the livestock, but don’t know the Mrs?

It’s Mrs.
Mrs. Claus
Mrs.
She’s just Mrs. because
She don’t have a first name like Nicholas
Or it’s not apparent like “Kris” is
So we have to call her the Mrs.
Though she’s the first lady of Christmas
Mrs. Claus

Have you noticed the silence on her end?
Does anyone else think it’s weird?
Is she his Canadian girlfriend?
Is Mrs. Claus just Santa’s beard?

Do you ever wonder if Mrs. Claus wishes
To be half as famous as her man St. Nick is
Or is she content with his whiskery kisses
Does she know how sweet being anonymous is?

I’m feeling stupid while she’s standing blameless
Endlessly patient, eternally nameless
Isn’t it funny how fickle her fame is
Everyone knows her but thinks that her name is just

Mrs.
Mrs. Claus
Mrs.
She’s just Mrs. because
She don’t have a first name like Nicholas
Or it’s not apparent like “Kris” is
So we have to call her the Mrs.
Though she’s the first lady of Christmas
Mrs. Claus

Dr. Lindyke - Lahra (Shadow)

Wake up every morning in a strangers bed
Brush the cobwebs from your eyes
Wonder who we'll be today
It's unknown but no surprise

Ann she ran a marathon
Monday has a child
Tuesday calls for doctor's help
Wednesday wears a smile

Clad in chains of innocence
It's the memory which survives
Mother tries to keep in touch
With this menagerie of lives

Broken – Lahra
You're a growing mystery
A falling star
In a whirlwind of insanity
Broken – Lahra
A tree of different leaves
Many hearts
A stranger to reality

Thursday bought a wedding dress
Friday buys a gun
Saturday saw no hope
But Hope sees Sunday come

Beth had plans to buy some land
But caution's Carrie's way
Daphne logs her diary
While Shelly's secrets fade

[repeat chorus]
