“waiting for my cappuccino”
written by Dan Reeder
I've been waiting
For my cappuccino
Since 1969
And I'm beginning to suspect
The waitress forgot me
That guy over there
Has only been here for a yea
And he just got dinner
For his whole family
If i were Jesus
"I command this
Dump to wither
Board its doors and windows
Forever."
“you’ll never surf again”
written by Dan Reeder
I went to the doctor
The doctor said "Sit down, I got some bad news"
Said "Put your pants back on, tie up those shoes"
When I braced myself for the worst
I knew this could mean the end
He said "You'll never, ever, ever, surf again"
Never surf again
Said "I tell you as your doctor, and as your friend"
Take a few days off and let this sink in"
But I knew from the first that a dream had come to an end
You'll never, ever, ever, surf again
Never surf again
My dream on Rincon, Bonzaii, Pipeline, and Waimea Bay
From one second to the next, just faded away
But then, nothing you can do when the doctor say
"You'll never, ever, ever, surf again"
Never surf again
“i drink beer”
written by Dan Reeder
a man who'd wish you'd be careful
met the man who just didn't care
they went to the house
of the man or a mouse
and met the mailman there
a man with a plan
a man on a mission
a man who could do no wrong
they all stood around in the kitchen
and sang the following song
i drink beer to improve my mind
end the the war
help mankind
through these dark and trying times
hey batter batter batter hey batter hey
swing batter swing
hey, swing away
swing for the fence
live for today
put your life in Jesus hands
shut your eyes just as tight as you came
and swing like a man like a man like a man
i drink beer to boost retail sales
save those dolphins
save those whales
i drink beer for the revolution
hey batter batter batter hey batter hey
swing batter swing hey, swing away
swing for the fence
live for today
put your life in Jesus hands
shut your eyes just as tight as you came
and swing like a man like a man like a man
cuz
we are men
men we shall we remain
we shall remain
until we go home
we are men
men we shall we remain
we shall remain
until we go home
“bach is dead and gone”
written by Dan Reeder
He don't go to parties
And he's never home
He don't answer emails
And he don't come to the phone
It seemed like I saw him
He's just a pile of bones
Bach is dead and gone
Left to the body
Straight right to the chin
He went down in the third round
And just never got up again
It was a sad day in a bad way
For a great career again
Bach is dead and gone
While he was still livin'
He was one fast gun
I said let's write some more tets
He was already done
But you can't mourn him forever
Forever's just no fun
Bach is dead and gone
He don't go to parties
And he's never home
He don't answer emails
He don't come to the phone
It seemed like if you saw him
He's just a pile of bones
Bach is dead and gone
“you should have wrote a book”
written by Dan Reeder
Three shots rang out from a flat from neighboring building
As i dove and roll i was thinking about pulling my .45
A galvanized steel gun that you can't buckle wth out reading
Milky water probably saved my life
I emptied a clip into the direction of my would be assassins
Left a fist size divet in the sand stone facade
I saw the chick run and another one i didn't recognize
I knew they wouldn't miss again i better run
If I want to get out of this town alive
Damn, you should have wrote a book
I abandoned the Corvette on the bad side of Bombay
I knew in a half hour the car would be stripped to go
Well damn thing never ran like it was supposed to anyways
And they've been tracking me since I left Saigon
And a recorded message came on the two way
It said the fat man was gonna jump
But it didn't say when
The checked out on the outskirts of town
You know the bad guys always
And the good guys always win
Damn, you should have wrote a book

I can't go home and I can't stay here
So shoot me to the moon
Shoot me to the moon
“99 friends of mine”
written by Dan Reeder
99 friends of mine
All wearing the blackest clothes they could find
On a warm and sunny afternoon
And if you dont party the black mask
And a anothers on the wall
All wonder which friend
Would be the next to fall
99 friends of mine
All wearing the blackest clothes they could find
On a warm and sunny afternoon
99 friends of mine
All wearing the blackest clothes they could find
On a warm and sunny afternoon
Standing around a hole in perfect cloth
And all along home forever come
99 friends of mine
All wearing the blackest clothes they could find
On a warm and sunny afternoon
“beautiful”
written by Dan Reeder
Peggy's on the phone with her feet up on the wall
Connie's with a friend at a shopping mall
Claus needs to told again not to play ball in the living room
And how to little girls know to sit that way
And what do you do at the mall all day
And I know you can't go out play ball today because of the snow
And I am not you and you are not me
But i can look at you and know you see what I see
And sometimes you're just beautiful, just beautiful
Sometimes you are beautiful to me
Jehovah's Witness tag team came by today
I started preaching and they just got up and went away
I can't find a friend today anywhere but here at home
And I am not you and you are not me
But i can look at you and know you see what I see
And sometimes you're just beautiful, just beautiful
Sometimes you are beautiful to me
Peggy's on the phone with her feet up on the wall
Connie's with a friend at a shopping mall
Claus is being told again not to play ball in the living room
And how to little girls know to sit that way
And what do you do at the mall all day
And I know you can't go out play ball today because of the snow
And I am not you and you are not me
But I can look at you and know you see what I see
And sometimes you're just beautiful, just beautiful
Sometimes you are beautiful to me
“cowboy song”
written by Dan Reeder
When a cowboy says women he means two different kinds
There's the real kind and then there's the kind in his mind, and
The real kind is a mystery that he can't understand
But the mind kind he knows like the palm of his hand
Oh the mind kind he knows like the palm of his hand
So up get along doggy
Little doggy get along
The nights are the prairie are lonely and long
And he'll camp down in the canyon
The moon lights the land
And he'll meet that old lady that he understands
Oh he'll meet that old lady that he understands
So Buck get your fiddle and play me that song
About the two kinds of women and the nights that are long, and
Camp down in the canyon, ladies so fine
And the one about how cowboys jack off all the time
Oh the one about how cowboys jack off all the time
And it's up get along doggy
Little doggy get along
The nights on the prairie are lonely and long
And old Buck loves to play
'Cause buck knows it's true
You know deep in his heart he's the damn cowboy too
I guess deep in our hearts we're all damn cowboys too
So up get along doggy
Little doggy get along
The nights are the prairie are lonely and long
And we'll camp down in the canyon
The moon lights the land
And meet there the ladies that we understand
Oh we'll meet there the ladies that we understand

Oh, pussy-titty, pussy-titty

Well I know it wasn't me and it couldn’t been you
Cause all the jokes you know I know too
Hoo-hoo
Oh, pussy-titty, pussy-titty
And boom-titty-boom
Who drew all the pictures on the wall in the men's room?
Well I know it wasn't you, and it mighta been me
How could you draw what you never seen?
Hoo-hoo
Oh, pussy-titty, pussy-titty
And boom-titty-boom
Who put the crack in the soap on the sink in the men’s room?
Well a man is a man, is a man, is a man
If ya pee on your fingers, gotta wash your hands
Hoo-hoo
Oh, pussy-titty, pussy-titty
And boom-titty-boom
Who cast their vote on the wall in the men’s room?
Well I hope to God the word never gets around
That a vote on a men’s room wall don’t count

“pussy heaven”
written by Dan Reeder
Oh the shoes that i wear cost nine cents an hour
Which ain't norwegian union scale but hell you know I'm there
They retire at 20 with a house on a fjord
And when they're out of money they just go and get some more
And if you think it through you'll find as I found
They're just ain't enough pussy heaven to go around
And if all the Chinese hit the brakes at one time
The whole goddamn planet would stop on a dime
And one side would burn up and the other side would freeze
So if you feel the need to pity someone you can pity me
And if you think it through you'll find as I found
They're just ain't enough pussy heaven to go around
And the moral of this story is perfectly clear
While one guy walks, the other sits on daddy's lap and steers
One cup is made of silver and the other's made of clay
The rich don't ever seem to know they're rich anyway
And if you think it through you'll find as I found
They're just ain't enough pussy heaven to go around
And if we all bred ponies and sailed boats across the sea
Imagine for a minute what a mess that would be
Cause who would drive the garabage trucks and who would sing the blues
And how could guys like me afford to buy a pair of shoes?
And if you think it through you'll find as I found
They're just ain't enough pussy heaven to go around
“I don’t really want to talk to you”
written by Dan Reeder
I don't feel comfortable in your comfortable car
And I don't feel quiet in this quiet bar
And I don't really want to talk to you
But my business requires that I do
My tiny squeak on these hardwood floors
And these shoes never used to squeak before
And I don't really want to talk to you
But my business requires that I do
I don't feel comfortable in your comfortable car
And I don't feel quiet in this quiet bar
And I don't really want to talk to you
But my business requires that I do

All my money

Tell it to the landlord

It goes to God
“just leave me alone today”
written by Dan Reeder
I don't want to be on no TV show
If you know what I mean
Just leave me alone today
I don't want to be on no radio
If you know what I mean
Now just leave me alone today
I don't want to see my picture in the paper
If you know what I mean
Just leave me alone today
Just leave me alone today
“a whiter shade of pale”
written by Gary Brooker, Keith Reid, Matthew Fisher
We skipped a light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kind of seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
She said there is no reason
And the truth is plain to see
That I wandered through my playing cards
And would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins
Who were leaving for the coast
And although my eyes were open
They might just as well have been closed
And so it was later, As the miller told his tale
That her face at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
