10 YEARS
10 YEARS
It took me so long
To find a woman like you
I never dreamed
We could ever be through
In the 10 short years
We spent together
No one else could've
Loved me better

10 Years used to
Seem like forever
Now it seems like
A short span of time
10 Years flew
Like the blink of an eye
Now I'm remembering
You used to be mine

Something sure went wrong
Nothing like it oughta be
Time's only relevant
To observers like me
It's just an illusion
I've come to see
A construct
Of my psychology

10 Years used to
Seem like forever
Now it seems like
A short span of time
10 Years flew
Like the blink of an eye
Now I'm remembering
You used to be mine

Lyrics
1950
1950
We never shoulda
Gotten involved
In Korea
Or Vietnam
Shoulda taken
Care of business
Stayed outta wars
That don't concern us

Let's go back to 1950
Build some Fords and Chevrolets
Let's pick up where we left off
Things were better back in the day
Let's go back to 1950
Before computers, before TV
Before drugs, before gays
Things were better for you and me

We never shoulda
Gone to the moon
There's nothing there
Nothing but ruin
Let's stay home
Forget Mars
Have babies
Mow the yard

Let's go back to 1950
Build some Fords and Chevrolets
Let's pick up where we left off
Things were better back in the day
Let's go back to 1950
Before computers, before TV
Before drugs, before gays
Things were better for you and me

America first!
The only way
Let's get together
It's not too late

Let's go back to 1950
Build some Fords and Chevrolets
Let's pick up where we left off
Things were better back in the day
Let's go back to 1950
Before computers, before TV
Before drugs, before gays
Things were better for you and me

Lyrics
1979
1979
I had a house and a car
The money was rolling in
The New York Yankees
Had won The World Series again
My self-confidence
Was higher than it ever had been

I had a job with the State
They taught me how to print
Old Jimmy Carter
Was trying to be the President
Come Friday night
The action was heaven sent

1979, 1979
Everything was fine in 1979
1979, 1979
I was the disco king in 1979

She was out on the floor
I knew it wouldn't take me long
I wore a polyester shirt
She had her bell bottoms on
I was John Travolta
She was Olivia Newton-John

1979, 1979
The world was mine in 1979
1979, 1979
She was my rock & roll queen in 1979

We rode back to the house
I talked her into spending the night
We did it in the living room
And the kitchen twice
I don't remember her name
My God! She sure was nice!

1979, 1979
Everything was fine in 1979
1979, 1979
I was the disco king in 1979
She was my rock & roll queen in 1979

Lyrics
1979
The ultimate party year. The New York Yankees won The World Series in 1977 and in 1978. Jimmy Carter was President, 1977-81. Disco music was at its peak. Polyester shirts and bell bottom pants were fashion. John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John starred in the movie, Grease.

1999
1999
I don't know what happened
The whole world caved in
I'm thinking 9/11
Original sin
I'm looking back
To when everything was fine
She was mine in
1999

1999
I had a smile on my face
I couldn't see the changes
The shame and disgrace
We're victims now
Of the sands of time
We can't go back to
1999

It was all Bill Clinton
Shania Twain
We were in the 7th heaven
Feeling no pain
I'm looking back
To when Mark McGwire was king
Love was mine in
1999

1999
I had a smile on my face
I couldn't see the changes
The shame and disgrace
We're victims now
Of the sands of time
We can't go back to
1999

solo - 1/2 chorus

We're victims now
Of the sands of time
We can't go back to

2000
2000
Seems like 2000
Should be in the future
Seems like there's something
Wrong with this picture
Cos the year 2000
Is now in the past
How time flies
It goes by fast

I voted for Gore
Way back in 2000
But Bush rose up
To become the man
Got us bogged down
In the Middle East
This has been
A lousy century

Gore's an idiot
With his global warming
Pointed the way
To muslim obama

Seems like 2000
Should be in the future
Seems like there's something
Wrong with this picture
Now it's up
To President Trump
To bring America back
Out of this slump

2017
We got Little Big Town
In the month of May
They'll be at the Ryman
I shouldn't have to pay
We got Wonder Woman
In the month of June
With Gal Gadot
As the Amazon

2017
Still another year
Trump's in the White House
Have no fear
Everything's better
You know what I mean
We're on a roll
2017

The Nebraska Star Party
In the month of July
I'll see the Badlands
I guess I will fly
Got the solar eclipse
In the month of August
A new moon will
Eclipse the sun

It's okay
To be alive
2017
Finally arrived

2017
Just another year
Trump's in the White House
Have no fear
Everything's better
You know what I mean
We're on a roll

20th CENTURY MAN
20th CENTURY MAN
He still wears a watch
Watches black & white movies
He uses words like swell
Uses words like groovy
He still listens to ABBA
He still listens to Bing
Listens to Patsy Cline
Elvis is still king

He's a 20th Century Man
Living in the 21st century
Outta step, outta touch
He can't hide his misery
He's a 20th Century Man
Living in the 21st century
Outta step, outta reach
Living for his family
You can laugh at him
But he don't care
He likes the old style
Let people stare

He don't have a smart phone
He likes vintage cars
55 Cadillacs
He don't care about Mars
He's a 20th Century Man
Living in the 21st century
Outta step, outta touch
He can't hide his misery
He's a 20th Century Man
Living in the 21st century
Outta step, outta reach
Living for his family

20 YEARS
20 YEARS
Seems like yesterday
I was a kid
Not responsible
For what I did
Seems like yesterday
I was in school
The class clown
Playing the fool

20 Years ain't what
They used to be
20 years are like
The blink of an eye
20 Years ain't what
They used to be
It's kinda scary
The way time flies

My grandfather said
Life was short
The years slip away
They can't be bought
Crazy at the time
Now I understand
Grandfather's gone
And I'm a man

20 Years ain't what
They used to be
20 years are like
The blink of an eye
20 Years ain't what
They used to be
It's kinda scary
The way time flies

The future's coming
Getting shorter
The faucets running
Faster and faster

20 Years ain't what
They used to be
20 years are like
The blink of an eye
20 Years ain't what
They used to be
It's kinda scary
The way time flies

23 YEARS KARAOKE
23 YEARS KARAOKE
Thought I'd do it just a year
Move on to something else
Pitch my own tunes
Songs I wrote myself
I've sung Elvis and Beatles
Til I'm blue in the face
What did they do for me?
Gotta find my own space

23 Years Karaoke
Hard to believe
Started in 97
When I was 51
Maybe I'll keep on
Long as it's fun
Another 23 years
I'll be done

Been singing Luke Bryan
He was born yesterday
Just a whippersnapper
But that's okay
Been singing LBT
Pontoon and Girl Crush
Will I quit karaoke?
I'm in no rush

I sang at Buckwild Saloon
Another place called the Beaver
If karaoke was a woman
You know I'd never leave her

23 Years Karaoke
Hard to believe
Started in 97
When I was 51
Maybe I'll keep on
Long as it's fun
Another 23 years
I'll be done

25 AND PERFECT
25 AND PERFECT
She turned 25
And she's perfect
A classic beauty
Without blemish
No freckles
Cellulite
No tattoo
Just right

25 and perfect
Female in her prime
Woman for the ages
A goddess divine
Got no weakness
Got no defect
Everything's in place
25 and perfect

She's got that face
She's got that body
She's ready for me
One hot toddy
Sexy long legs
Hair down her back
So voluptuous
She's stacked

25 and perfect
Female in her prime
Woman for the ages
A goddess divine
Got no weakness
Got no defect
Everything's in place
25 and perfect

I'd better move
Do it fast
Cos perfection
Doesn't last

25 and perfect
Female in her prime
Woman for the ages
A goddess divine
Got no weakness
Got no defect
Everything's in place
25 and perfect

25 ON THE INSIDE
25 ON THE INSIDE
I came off the stage
After singing Luke Bryan
You can crash my party
Anytime
A gal was digging it
She couldn't believe it
Wanted to know how old I am
I said I'm

45 on the outside
25 On The Inside
Making my mark before it's too late
Scoping the crowd for a young date
I don't mind telling my age
Still young enough to feel some rage
45 on the outside
25 On The Inside

She came home with me
And she stayed the whole night
That gal crashed my party
That's alright
We didn't get much sleep
But had a whole lot of fun
She called me a gentleman when
We were done

45 on the outside
25 On The Inside
Making my mark before it's too late
Scoping the crowd for a young date
I don't mind telling my age
Still young enough to feel some rage
45 on the outside
25 On The Inside

The next morning
After I fed her
I took her back
Where I found her

45 on the outside
25 On The Inside
Making my mark before it's too late
Scoping the crowd for a young date
I don't mind telling my age
Still young enough to feel some rage
45 on the outside
25 On The Inside

27 Wives, 56 Children
My! What a stud!
Talkin bout Brigham
Old Brigham Young
He brought his women
From Illinois
To Salt Lake
Made some noise

27 Wives, 56 Children
My! What a stud!
Number one Mormon
Preaching bout God
He kept his women
In the Beehive
All that sex
Kept him alive

This is the place
Old Brigham said
Let's dig ditches
Irriqate the land

27 Wives, 56 Children
My! What a stud!
Talkin bout Brigham
Old Brigham Young
I made my way
To Temple Square
Spent some time
In Utah there

30 LOOKS GOOD ON YOU
30 LOOKS GOOD ON YOU
We got together
You were 21
You and I had
So much fun
The years went by
Oh how they flew
My oh my
30 Looks Good On You

We've got the babies
And a mortgaged home
We've got money
We've made some
We both matured
As our love grew
My oh my
30 Looks Good On You

Another birthday
Easy to handle
Come on, girl
Blow out the candles

We got together
You were 21
You and I had
So much fun
The years went by
Oh how they flew

3 NIGHTS IN HONG KONG
3 NIGHTS IN HONG KONG
Hong Kong, you're the one
I like you more than
Komodo dragons
Or 20 foot pythons
A little island
Off the China coast
Chinese Manhattan
You're the most

3 Nights In Hong Kong
I'm a world traveler
I finally made it
To this Asian town
3 Nights In Hong Kong
It's a world-class city
Come on, Hong Kong
Show me around

Hong Kong, you're my fave
I like you more than
Bali, Jakarta
Or Krakatoa
I dig your harbor
Victoria Peak
Big Buddha
Leaves me weak

3 Nights In Hong Kong
I'm a world traveler
I finally made it
To this Asian town
3 Nights In Hong Kong
It's a world-class city
Come on, Hong Kong
Show me around

It's Hong Kong
King Kong
King Creole
Hong Kong
So Long
Come On
Let's go

3 Nights In Hong Kong
I'm a world traveler
I finally made it
To this Asian town
3 Nights In Hong Kong
It's a world-class city
Come on, Hong Kong

I know that island
Like my own backyard
Chinese women
Have the hots for me
I don't even have to
Speak Chinese

3 Nights In Hong Kong
Make me a world traveler
I love the night life
I'm not a fence straddler
Chinese beauties
Coming on to me
I met a hottie
On Victoria Peak

Her name is Suzie
No, not Suzie Wong
She's not from Wan Chai
We're coming on strong

3 Nights In Hong Kong
Make a humble man hard
I know that island
Like my own backyard
Sexy Suzie
She's at my hotel
We rode the Ferry
She's under my spell

I turned 40
Yesterday
The front end
Of middle age
I still look
At young women
Fantasize about
Being with em

It's just a number
So I was told
Nowhere near
Being old
I'm still moving
Going forward
It's no big deal
Being 40

My girl friend
She's 25
She lets me know
I'm still alive
She gets along
With my son
I'll be married
Before too long

It's just a number
So I was told
Nowhere near
Being old
I'm still moving
Going forward
It's no big deal
Being 40

We're in love
She wants a kid
And I enjoy
Being a dad

It's just a number
So I was told
Nowhere near
Being old
I'm still moving
Going forward
It's no big deal
Being 40

Coda:
It's okay
Cos I found
Love's better the
Second time around

4TH OF JULY
4TH OF JULY
Here it is
4th of July
We still celebrate
I wonder why
We've been free
From the British
250 years
Independent

4th Of July
What's it mean?
In the land
Of M.L. King
4th Of July
What's that sound?
Turn the Statue
of Liberty around

Those fireworks
Waste of money
Also dangerous
It ain't funny
What we need
Is independence
From blacks and muslims
Third world hispanics

4th Of July
What's it mean?
In the land
Of M.L. King
4th Of July
What's that sound?

5 PRESIDENTS
5 PRESIDENTS
They called Clinton
The comeback kid
But womanizing
Was all he did
Eight years
Chasing skirt
Ruined his presidency
With the dirt

Both the Bushes
Led us astray
9/11
What a day!
Father and son
Asleep on the job
Those Muslims
Running wild

Barack Hussein
What a choice!
Real big mouth
Horrible voice
Half-breed Muslim
Way behind
White America
In decline

Then came Trump
We're gonna win
Make America
Great again
Drive out aliens
Make our stand
We can do it
The Donald can

70S GIRLS
70S GIRLS
70s Girls were something to see
We saw them there on our TVs
Catherine Bach as Daisy Duke
Loved to watch her sexy strut
Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman
Gave wet dreams to every man
Lynda's cleavage drove me wild
She kicked ass in 70s style

I can't forget Susan Anton
A five-foot-eleven Amazon
She had blonde hair, big blue eyes
That Golden Girl blew my mind
Charlie's Angels on the tube
Jacklyn Smith sure was cute
Farrah Fawcett had that hair
She was our 70s poster girl

Show stoppers
Jaw droppers
Show stoppers
Eye poppers

70S Girls were something to see
We saw them there on our TVs
You may recall Valerie Perrine
Man, those legs were so divine
Teri Garr and the ABBA girls
Agnetha and Frida rocked my world
So did Olivia Newton-John
Jenny Agutter in Logan's Run

7TH NIGHT OF THE 7TH MOON
7TH NIGHT OF THE 7TH MOON
Vega is a damsel
Weaving on her loom
In an Asian star myth
She's so in love
Altair is a shepherd
In love with this maid
They shirked their duties
And for that they paid

7th Night Of The 7th Moon
That's when magpies gather
To form a fluttering bridge
So lovers can be together
Just one night each year
It never comes too soon
The weaver and shepherd meet
7th Night Of The 7th Moon

The celestial ruler put them
On two sides of the river
Known as the Milky Way
But not apart forever
Cos every July seven
They let their love run free
When they're allowed to cross
Share their ecstasy

7th Night Of The 7th Moon
That's when magpies gather
To form a fluttering bridge
So lovers can be together
Just one night each year
It never comes too soon
The weaver and shepherd meet
7th Night Of The 7th Moon

I am the bravest

Look in my face
If it's trouble you seek
I love the ladies

I am Achilles

I am Achilles
A killing machine
I am a warrior
Onery and mean
I killed Hector
The Trojan prince
He killed my cousin
He paid the price

I'm not immortal
I can be killed
If there's an arrow
Shot through my heel
I serve the gods
But serve no man
I've no respect
For Agamemnon

I am Achilles
A killing machine
I am a warrior
Onery and mean
I killed Hector
The Trojan prince
He killed my cousin
He paid the price

Somebody said the world's a stage

Act Your Age, Man!

Give you a reason to stay
Come here, I'll plant my seed

Act Your Age, Man!

ADAM AND EVE
ADAM AND EVE
Greatest tragedy in history
Adam and Eve in the garden
Fated to wander the planet
Hoping for God's pardon
Did they go to heaven?
Did they get a reprieve?
Did they know Jesus?
Adam And Eve

Greatest con game of all
Satan and Eve and the tree
Apples are sometimes rotten
Forbidden fruit can be
What a heavy burden
To know good from evil
To know right and wrong
Adam And Eve

They went into business
Selling fig leaves
It beats being naked
In a cool breeze

Greatest travesty ever
Incest among their kids
Having sex with siblings
You know they did
Did they go to heaven?
Did they get a reprieve?
Did they know Jesus?
Adam And Eve

ADAM HAD IT MADE
ADAM HAD IT MADE
Adam Had It Made
In the Garden of Eden
He didn't have to work
Just laid in the sun
He swam in the stream
And talked to God
Had sweet dreams
When day was done

Adam Had It Made
It was just him and Eve
No mother-in-law
To complicate life
Their sex was good
It was divine
Eve, she made
A perfect wife

Then a serpent appeared
With a silver tongue
It changed everything
Screwed things up

Adam Had it Made
In the Garden of Eden
He didn't have to die
He didn't know death
Now he's doomed
To till the earth
And Eve is burdened
With childbirth
