Rabbit Shtu
The Story
Beyond the Pillars
On humble streets lined with wisdom’s glow
Ambitions high yet our shadows low
We played with fate too blind to see the cost of prides audacity
A world created oh so vast in our image we were cast
We dreamed of eternity
Pillars of Hercules guard my tale lost wonders of the world a sunken grail
In the end was it worth the cost I am the voice forever lost forever lost
We dreamed of eternity
With swollen hubris as our steely guide we met our equal at the oceans tide
A testament to what we’ve sown a great endeavour was overthrown
The knowledge vast our vision wide yet in our hearts the truth did hide
A silent sentry saw it all
Pillars of Hercules guard my tale lost wonders of the world a sunken grail
In the end was it worth the cost I am the voice forever lost forever lost
You saw us rise and fall
In ruins that lie beneath the dogged waves
Whispers from above bout the haughty brave
Their legacy a caution told in ancient depths where truth unfolds
An eerie echo marks our time as past and present do intertwine
Heed our humble plea
Pillars of Hercules guard my tale lost wonders of the world a sunken grail
In the end was it worth the cost I am the voice forever lost forever lost
Envious
Born a Transylvania lad the next door neighbour a Count named Vlad
Invited me over for a little bite but it was me on the menu that night
I awoke with vampire eyes underneath a blood moon a sky blood moon sky
When darkness falls I awake with a thirst that I must slake
Dinner bells about to chime bats in the belfry blood on the fangs
So don’t be out after dusk that’s when I’m over whelmed by the lust for life
Much to my chagrin never feel the sun again
Your are simply food but yet I still envy you
Hope and pray this will end it’s the same thing all over again
Immortality’s not my scene ain’t cracked up to what it seems to be
Eternity lasts so long all it does is go on oh yah
Much to my chagrin never feel the sun again
Your are simply food but yet I still envy you
Everything I ever loved has died and I’ve forgotten how to cry
Your living like there’s no tomorrow you feel pity you feel sorrow
I got powers you wouldn’t believe but I’d rather be you than me you than me
Much to my chagrin never feel the sun again
Your are simply food but yet I still envy you
Fly Away
Fly away little butterfly disappear into the big black sky
Navigate by celestial stars tricky business when it’s dull and dark
Lady Lindy’s luck ran out today doesn’t realize she’s gone astray
Fly away little butterfly fly away
Fly away little butterfly you fell off in the blink of an eye
American Queen young and brave did you meet your end in a watery grave
Or did you make it down to Mexico where all the Monarch’s like to go
Fly away little butterfly fly away
Was the navigator merely a fool did you run out fuel
So many rumours are any true gonna keep searching til we find you
Fly away little butterfly fly away
Reap What You Sow
Little Jimmy was a working man’s Son Father died they moved to Michigan
While his Motown friends are flying kites oh Little J readied for a fight
He had bigger plans gonna stick it to the man yah
Jimmy ought a know you reap what you sow
Teamsters applauded his bargaining ways ran the largest union in the US of A
The Mafia Boy’s always got their share took a little off the top they won’t care
But he drew too much attention to the Mafia’s dissension yah
Jimmy got greedy oh yes indeedy
Killed the golden goose put his neck in a noose
Jimmy ought a know you reap what you sow
The Kennedy’s had their eyes on him Jimmy got indicted thrown into the pen
When Tricky Dick became president got him out early for Teamster assent
Still wants to run the union the mob says nothing doing yah

Nessie
Long ago and far away found a home the place I would stay
Lived in peace perfect harmony yah
Then one day I was spotted doing laps I barely started
I went deep where it’s too dark to see yah
I’m so shy don’t like anybody looking at me
Please leave me alone I just wanna swim
And those Leprechauns they all wanna join in
But they can’t swim so I always have to rescue them
Though I’m graceful as an otter sometimes I feel like a fish out of water
Like Cinderella at the Masquerade ball yah
We all wear disguises to hide the ugly underneath it all
Please leave me alone I just wanna swim
And those Leprechauns they all wanna join in
But they can’t swim so I always have to rescue them
Please please
Didn’t mean to be mischievous your pretty tartans got up in a twist
All I ask is a little privacy yah
So chase a different rabbit and stop hassling me
Please leave me alone yah yah yah I just wanna swim
And those Leprechauns yah yah yah they all wanna join in
But they can’t swim so I always have to rescue them
But they can’t swim so I always have to rescue them
The Boogey Man
What cha got hiding under the bed a slide guitar gets you lots of street cred
The Bugle Boy blares in your ear it’s the sum of your greatest fears
Shadows on the wall the cats are in the hall
Sleep with eyes wide open do your best but your barely coping
Banging on the drums til the morning comes
Ooh shades of Satan yah God forsaken come on baby keep on shaking
You know who I am I’m the Boogey Man
Yah the Boogey Man’s coming to get cha
Who’s that coming down the chimney it’s a Roady with an amp big as can be
Bang that piano and make it scream if you dig the rhythm join in with me
Looking so cute blowing that skin flute
Sleep with eyes wide open do your best but your barely coping
Banging on the drums til the morning comes
Ooh shades of Satan yah God forsaken come on baby keep on shaking
You know who I am I’m the Boogey Man yah the Boojey Woojey Man
Banging on the drums til the morning comes
Ooh shades of Satan yah God forsaken come on baby keep on shaking
You know who I am I’m the Boogey Man yah the Boojey Woojey Man
The Boojey Woojey Man
Me Lucky Charms
I am the trickster with an impish grin full of spit and vinegar and a little sin
Drink the Guinness dance the Jig all night while I smoke my pipe and get real high
I’m the luck of the Irish a wee Leprechaun
You can have all me gold my but not me Lucky Charms
On St. Paddy’s Day I’m a rock star my face plastered on the wall of every bar
Legend can be bigger than truth but with folklore you don’t need much proof
I’m the luck of the Irish a wee Leprechaun
You can have all me gold my but not me Lucky me Lucky Charms
I had fame before they had Tik Tok picture on a the front of a cereal box
On the street I’m Sir Charms A-Lot all the lasses think I’m pretty hot
Am I an angel not so much or a little dirty such and such
D.B Cooper ain’t nobody’s fool he bested me took me to school
When he jumped he had me on his side got all the money and escaped alive
I’m the luck of the Irish a wee Leprechaun
You can have all me gold my but not me Lucky me Lucky Charms
I’m the luck of the Irish I’m the luck of the Irish
I’m the luck of the Irish I’m the luck of the Irish
I’m the luck of the Irish
Elixir
Gaze in the mirror what do you see an ageing face or a youthful teen
Is their a voice deep down below asking in wonder where did time go
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could hold on to living days that are long gone
Love and laugh without any fears those were days of our youthful years
The fountain of youth where does one begin it only creates a deceptive skin
If the truth be told it’s a game you can’t win
All the real beauty comes from within
Jack be nimble Jack be quick if you wanna jump over that candle stick
Cause you ain’t as young as you used to be this could end badly so easily
Dorian Grey with a youthful grin made a deal with the devil he can’t rescind
Now he’s become the epitome of men whose run away vanity meet their end
The fountain of youth where does one begin it only creates a deceptive skin
If the truth be told it’s a game you can’t win
All the real beauty comes from within
In a race against time one thing is clear it’s gaining speed year after year
Lotions for ageing hiding the grey better join the hair club or you won’t get laid
There is the desire to look your best some will go much further than the rest
Michael Jackson gives me the shivers he is even scarier than Joan Rivers
The fountain of youth where does one begin it only creates a deceptive skin
If the truth be told it’s a game you can’t win
All the real beauty comes from within
Siren's Call
Will you lure me into the rocks will your lullaby tie me in knots
Are you the Mother of discourse and pain will I be tempted like a moth to a flame
Oh Poseidon is angry I need protection from the sea
I need a mermaid to guide me back to my destiny
When you shoot that arrow how many innocents will fall
When you sing that sweet song how many sailor’s answer the call yah
So beautiful dangerous though if I heed your call I’ll be in the shoal
Venus de Milo without arms holds my attention with demonic charms
Oh I found your bottle read the message inside
It’s The North Star I follow to guide my ship in the night
When you shoot that arrow how many innocents will fall
When you sing that sweet song how many sailor’s answer the call yah
Sorceress with Mona Lisa’s smile steal your soul with her womanly wiles
An illusion she’s pretty in pink lead you to the reef and laugh as you sink
Oh how many will follow when she bats her eyes
Found a message in a bottle to guide my ship through the night
Bermuda Vixen
On a sunny fair winded day the mates and I some how went astray
Radio down yah that’s all she wrote sail dead reckoning the only hope
She has a rep for swallowing seamen hand over fist yah she’s a demon
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
How many men will she devour slowly takes them down by the hour
One by one they plunge into her depths disappear along with their shipwreck
Everybody knows she swallows seamen hand over fist yah she’s a demon
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
Hear the roar of a plane in the sky she’ll draw them down from way up high
Fly-boy’s always make her beam and smile cause they dare to go that extra mile
She has a rep for swallowing seamen but a pilot will do cause she’s a demon
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
She don’t care if your a saint or sinner she ain’t picky as to who goes in her
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
Bermuda vixen can’t be sated it’s a journey for the ill fated
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
She’s the devil in the deep blue sea
Long Live the King
I saw a fella mourning at a Memphis grave yard
Looking tired and weary like he’d been living hard
He put some flowers in a vase the tears were rolling down his face
I realized it was him at Lisa’s resting place
Then I saw a thousand Elvis’s walking down the street
All in fancy jump suits blue suede on their feet
Wouldn’t one have to think of all those thousand Kings
One must be the real thing
Long live the King long live the King
Don’t believe what you’ve read or what the lying papers said
I’m telling you the King ain’t dead long live the King
They told the press cardiac arrest he’s still alive living in disguise
Saw a man at the side of road with a squeegee in his hand
He looked some what like the shadow of a once great man
I put a dollar in his cup and as he looked up he said
‘Thank ya thank ya very mush’
They told the press cardiac arrest he’s still alive living in disguise
Saw a portly gentleman at a Memphis Home Depot
Looked like a King as he sat upon that porcelain throne
While he took his test ride let out the biggest sigh and said
‘Son, this ain’t no way to die’
Long live the King long live the King
Don’t believe what you’ve read or what the lying papers said
I’m telling you the King ain’t dead long live the King
Don’t believe what you’ve read or what the lying papers said
I’m telling you the King ain’t dead long live the King
(Elvis has left the building!)
Rabbit Shtu
Been on my own far too long feel like a poor boy in a country song
Dog ran way now he’s gone yah
So I brought my misery to the county fair I’d try anything to fight this despair
Roller coasters and candy floss seems the place to rid this albatross
Tired of feeling that woe is me stuck in this lonely place I shouldn’t be
Did the fates finally hear my plea the day we met at the calliope
Strolling down the busy midway watching as the kids play those games
Throwing all that money away yah
Fortune tellers it’s just silly talk I never believed in all that poppycock
Roller coasters and candy floss seems the place to rid this albatross
Tired of feeling that woe is me stuck in this lonely place I shouldn’t be
Did the fates finally hear my plea the day we met at the calliope
Tired of feeling that woe is me stuck in this lonely place I shouldn’t be
Did the fates finally hear my plea the day we met at the calliope
The day we met at the calliope
