There's no escaping this song. Somebody is looking for me Its somebody I would rather not see Hes looking for me coz I owe him money I dont have it, and its not funny Im being chased by an angry dude Thats a fellow that I want to elude Hes looking for me because he wants to get paid Im using every trick I know that meeting to evade This fellow is pretty annoyed Thats why this fellow Im trying to avoid If our meeting I cannot avert Im afraid that someone will get hurt (maybe me!) Im hiding in the attic over my garage Because this fellow I am trying to dodge I get my allowance in just one day Then I can pay him back and I'll no longer have to say Somebody is looking for me Its somebody I would rather not see Hes looking for me coz I owe him money I dont have it, and its not funny

A song about a bunch of things you'd rather not be. -- If you sulk all the time As though sad thoughts you are mullin Youre sullen If you look unhealthy If your skins a sickly yellow Youre sallow If youre cruel and insensitive And act with malice Youre callous If youre a young and naive And inexperienced fellow Youre callow

A song about where to draw the line. -- Everything in Moderation Everything in moderation Just as Aristotle said Too much of a good thing Makes a good thing bad instead Sweet is good but too sweet is annoying Someone whos just too sweet is cloying A compliment every now and then can be romantic But pay too many compliments and youre sycophantic If you listen more than talk theres a lot you can learn But if you hardly ever talk, youre taciturn Call me names if you want but no stones, no sticks If I use too many words, you can call me prolix Everything in moderation Just as Aristotle said Too much of a good thing Makes a good thing bad instead

We hope you never get tired of this podcast! -- I'm Tired I'm tired! Once I had energy But I lost it I'm exhausted If I were near my bed I'd just fall in I'm all in My head Is sagging I'm flagging My shoulders slump And my eyes are bleary I'm weary I'd like to kiss you But my lips won't pucker out I'm too tuckered out I'm too tired To even eat a pierogi I'm logy (And I love pierogies!) I'm tired!

This song will teach you some synonyms for honest. Honest it will! -- Honest I Do I love you Honest I do When I tell you that you are my dear Don't you know that I am so sincere You can rely upon my veracity For honesty I have an endless capacity My declaration of love is guileless I don't even know what a lie is I'd never cheat on you, I wouldn't philander When I say I love you only I say it with candor I love you Honest I do

If your heart is soaring, your head is probably spinning. -- Confused First I think that she loves me Then her love I think I'm losing Love is so confusing She said that she hated me And then we cuddled Am I confused? Yes, I'm befuddled She wrote "I love you, you idiot" In her latest text Am I confused? Yes, I'm perplexed She says she loves ice cream But she hates custard Am I confused? Yes, I'm flustered She says "No you shouldn't" Then she says, "Yes, you must" Am I confused? Yes, I'm nonplussed Because first I think that she loves me Then her love I think I'm losing Love is so confusing

We hope you think this song's divine! -- Dios is Spanish for God Dios is Spanish for God Dios is Spanish for God Dios is Spanish for God The one who created the oceans And the lands from sea to sea Call Him God or Allah or Brahman By any name He is the deity When a Spaniard says Vaya con Dios Hes hoping God will watch over you When a Frenchman wants to say Ill see you in heaven Thats when he says adieu You know, it isnt easy to be made a god Its hard to be deified Its even harder to kill a god That's a thing that we call deicide Dios is Spanish for God Dios is Spanish for God Dios is Spanish for God Dios is Spanish for God

The next decade ought to be better than the Aughts. -- 2010 is on its way Its onset I am sensing 2009 is past and gone 2010's commencing The New Year starts just when it will Its arrival you can't hasten It starts at midnight, January First That is when the New Year is nascent A friend sent me a New Year's card That made me the card's recipient The card read, "Hope you have A happy year that is now incipient" (just starting!) 2010 has just begun The future, you just can't know it The year is only starting right now The year is still inchoate Do you know what Auld Lang Syne means? Not that many people know Auld Lang Syne is a Scottish phrase It means "a long, long time ago."

For those who always wondered what a manger is, and everyone else. -- Baby Jesus was born far away from home In the stable of a stranger He slept in the box that the animals ate from A box that's called a manger We call that box a manger An angel flew to some nearby shepherds With a message he was sent To announce the arrival of the son of the Lord That what we call the Advent His arrival's called the Advent The shepherds were happy as they could be They were filled with elation They went to the stable to praise the child That's called the adoration It's called the adoration Christians believe on that day God's word was made flesh Some build models of that holy scene The model's called a creche A nativity or a creche

Our Hannukah gift to you. Better than a new sweater, even! -- Yiddish once was spoken by European Jews Here are some Yiddish words that English speakers use A waiter who spills soup on someone's lap is a schlemiel A schlemazel is the guy who gets the worse end of that deal With a lap full of hot soup it's no wonder that he squeals Oy vey! I'm such an unlucky guy! A fellow in a sauna most certainly is shvitzing If he's chatting with somebody you can say they are kibitzing Occasionally the rocks with water they are shpritzing Otherwise the air would get too dry A person who complains so much that it could make you retch Is a kvetch! A thing that isn't even worth as much as one flyspeck Is drek! These are Yiddish words that English speakers use

If you're a Thanksgiving turkey, it's almost time to get stuffed! -- I'm gonna pig out! I'm gonna pig out! It's Thanksgiving and I can't wait to pig out! On this food I'm going to glut Soon I'll have a bulging gut I'll open my belt to make more room So more food I can consume This cranberry sauce is not too sour A large bowl I will devour I'm gonna pig out! I'm gonna pig out! I'm gonna pig out! Too much food I just did eat Now my belly is replete I have had more than enough And my stomach's overstuffed I wish I had shown restraint I'm afraid I'm going to faint I wish I hadn't pigged out!

He's a fan of both Thomas More and Todd Rundgren! -- He's dreaming of a better world For a perfect society he is hopin' is dreams are truly utopian Some would say that he is idiotic That his dreams are impossible And he is quixotic He'll concede that he is not realistic That his dreams are perhaps idealistic But even if they're unattainable in this place or era That doesn't mean the dream he dreams Is merely a chimera He points out that a dream cannot come true Unless you have a dream to pursue And that the world might be a better place If everyone else had his own dream too

Wishing you a very morbid Halloween! -- The rich man built a big stone building Where folks could come to see him After he was dead and gone It's called a mausoleum I started down a dark church stairway And on one step I tripped I landed in a place that was full of tombs A room that's called a crypt In my hands are the ashes of the cremated king Where do you think I should carry 'em? Let's put those ashes in a fancy urn And take 'em to the columbarium If all you leave behind is bones That doesn't have to be scary You can put them in a hallowed place That's called an ossuary If you want to spend eternity in a fancy grave There's no need to be a sulker Just save your money your whole life through And buy your own sepulcher No, you don't have to wind up in the cramped cold ground When your time has drawn to a close The world is full of fancy places Where you can decompose

Subway: it isn't just a sandwich shop. -- Sub means beneath or below Mare means the sea That's what mare means Ships that go beneath the water Are called submarines In the city of New York All the night and all the day Trains run beneath the ground That's called the subway A bully knocks you down Man, that bully is rude You lie still beneath his boot You have been subdued The water level rises With the coming of high tide After that it lowers The water does subside Just below the Arctic Circle You'll find the subarctic region If you go there, please dress warmly Because it usually is freezing Sub means beneath or below
