Simple Little Tune Bat Bennett Good Morning Gypsy! It’s plain to see it’s going to be another lovely day That’s what I say And everything around is bursting with sound From the sky to the ground- no, they can’t calm it down Whoa, they can’t cool down There’s a simple little tune that keeps running through my mind And the more I think about it, the more I find I am Love Now love is everywhere- it’s filling the air So take your share, baby & I’ll meet you there Yeah, you know I’ll take you there I’ve been told by Mr Sun to spread the love to everyone Good morning Gypsy! You’re here with me- oh can’t you see it’s got to be my day? That’s what I say You’re here with me, oh can’t you see You and me, we are love

I Guess 03:53
I Guess Bat Bennett I knew a seabird who didn’t know me He passed me by each morning casually He can be what he wants to be I guess he just wants to be free I met a rhino in a coconut tree I said hello, and he shook hands with me Now he can be where he wants to be I guess he likes it in a tree The bears all went out singing, the giraffes were at the dock When they asked me out, I said I must be home by ten o’clock So they went on with their sailing And I wandered home in shock But I wasn’t tired the least bit So I walked around the block A speed boat driven by monkeys Pulled a kangaroo on water-skis Now he can ski, if he wants to ski I guess it makes him happy I asked the zoo man where the lions might be Taking a course in world geography The wallaby, naturally, takes advanced philosophy The tiger’s writing novels and the llama’s playing chess The penguin is at the opera looking fine in proper dress I’m seeing, but I’m wondering if I’m feeling any stress ‘Cause no else is noticing It’s all in my head I guess

Ne Maum* 05:35
Ne Maum Bat Bennett/Ron Crowder Flying Flying beyond the second hand I passed into the future On my way to foreign lands Tomorrow came to me today I sent this morning packing On its way to yesterday Each moment sinks into the sea And finds itself forgotten on the way Baby keep me in your heart Reach across the ocean to me Hold me in the dark Awakened; the dream is never true An unrelenting Seoul detains me Long away from you I cast my thoughts into the sky And send them home Like pigeons in the blue Ne maum tongshin kyote Ttao pekisimnida Ne chongshin kyoturo Tongshin I paumnida Kwan kwong machiko Tora kamnida My heart will beat for you Will beat my heart Breathing Breathing the foggy Asian air; it fills my lungs Believing it’s been so long since I have seen the sun Ne maum tongshin kyote Ttao pekisimnida Ne chongshin kyoturo Tongshin I paumnida Kwan kwong machiko Tora kamnida My heart will beat for you Will beat my heart My Heart Though years have passed along the way I hear what King Sejong might say These words are carved into the hearts of all. . . Ne maum tongshin kyote Ttao pekisimnida Ne chongshin kyoturo Tongshin I paumnida Kwan kwong machiko Tora kamnida My heart will beat for you Will beat my heart And if I get too far away to feel your loving touch My heart will beat for you Will beat my heart My heart will beat for you Will beat my heart My heart

Boogie Woogie Bat Bennett Friday night and I’ve lost my soul I’m sitting just a-listening to the rock and the roll I’ve got to split- I get no kick From the worn out guitar riffs that someone stole ‘Cause I never ever get to Boogie Woogie I never feel the music like it should be Listen to the noise of Glen & the Boys blowing that jive I never shuffle anywhere near Buffalo Can’t you see it gets me in a ruffle It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got no swing Give me Boogie Woogie Noogie yeah I’ve got a certain somebody I love Often I need to remind Dancing together, fingers clasped in satin gloves Is never far from my mind Listen to me baby and I’ll make it all clear If we don’t beat this dive I won’t be able to hear I want something exciting or I’ll just disappear Gimme Boogie Woogie Noogie yeah Come quitting time I’m ready to roam I’m getting kinda tired by I don’t want to go home And I get a shot of that wonderful beat It’s like I got a pair of rockets strapped to my feet

Long Way Home Bat Bennett I was on a C-130 from Korea to Japan And was told the crew had come to repatriate a man I really wasn’t sure what that meant, so I just settled in On the jump seat of the cargo hold in a flying can of tin The plane was cramped and the air was cold, and I had my headset on Listening to the crewmen as we flew into the dawn Talkin ‘bout this soldier they’d been sent out to retrieve And how he’d been through more than anyone in his right mind could believe -And how it’s a long way home I was sitting with my feet propped on a little box there on the floor Hearing tales about this ‘ol Boy in that ugly Asian War And I tried to picture what it’d be like coming home after so long How everything’d be different, and that life had moved along He’d been missing; gone for thirty years when they sent to bring him back My feet were squirming on that box when they told of the attack And how he probably was captured; there’s just no way to know But we never leave our soldiers- no matter how long ago -It’s such a long way home They told me all about him as we neared the Rising Sun So I grew to know this hero, and all the things he’d done Well, I couldn’t help but ask ‘em when we’d meet this giant of a man And the Crewmen said “Son, you already have.” We’d like to introduce you to Captain Davidson And they pointed at the little box my two big feet were resting on As my throat choked and my eyes welled up, they said ‘Aw, he don’t mind” Old Davy’d just be glad we didn’t leave him behind -Cause it’s a long way home It’s such a long way home It’s long, long way home

When Why How 03:55
How can she wake up and smile at me from the bed And look so doggone pretty from her toes up to her head And how can she make me feel so good it must be heaven Tell me how When did she discover that love what was what she is And when did she decide that it was me who’d raise her kids And when did I become the one who deserved any of this Tell me when My little revolutionary outshines all the Queens And doesn’t say that it’s ok if that’s not what she means She’ll always tell it like it is, but never spills the beans Oh my Why does she hold me like it’s the moment of my birth And turn around and love me like I was the last man on the earth Why do I fail to understand she’s more than I am worth Tell me why Solo I must have accidentally done something extremely right somehow To earn that woman’s love who wants to be with me right now And though I know I’ll never learn the when and why and how She’s around- she’s still around Tell me when, Tell me why Tell me how

Slow Burn* 05:58
Slow Burn Bat Bennett/Ron Crowder Well I was all set to leave you when you broke me up Sifting all of my reasons through a paper cup ‘Cause I can’t help but feel like I’m not good enough oh no But I can’t stand to love you and I’m gonna crack I’ma leave in the morning, but I’m comin’ back I’ma love you baby, I got nowhere else to go I’ll be coming home You & I light the fire, holding on we conspire Keep it warm, fan the flame, I’ll be home Keep it at a Slow Burn- All that I require Slow Burn- Come to the fire Babe believe me, I just want to let you know We can hold this thing together- have a chance to let it grow The beginning doesn’t seem so long ago When we burned away the winter waiting for the afterglow You know I came here for lovin’- you won’t give me none We’re either shouting or silent, I don’t know which one You know the whole situation makes me want to run- ohoh I’ll be coming home Please believe me; I just have to tell you so We can find this love together- buried deep within the snow The beginning wasn’t oh so long ago When we burned away the winter waiting for the afterglow And while we’re shaking off the winter chill We can close our eyes and dream until We know there’s bound to be a summer day And when that day arrives we’ll hide within the flame Babe believe me, I don’t want to let you go We can hold this thing together- have a chance to make it grow The beginning wasn’t oh so long ago When we burned away the winter waiting for the afterglow Please believe me, I just have to tell you so We can find this love together buried deep within the snow The beginning didn’t seem so long ago We can burn away waiting for the afterglow

Last Stand in Texas Bat Bennett Time has come, fight or die- I don’t really care A lifetime of taking the easy roads never got me there So this is it, the big showdown and it’s time to draw And we’ll see if I’m still made of steel Not a scared broke down outlaw I got one last chance down Texas that’s where I gotta go I may boom or bust, or bite the dust There’s only one way I’ll ever know I’ll put it right in this one last fight, then throw down my guns One last stand in Texas—then I’m done On the highways and the back roads-I’ve run everyplace I could And hid out in New Mexico, but didn’t do no good All I got was overlooked, and mad under my skin So I’m looking for a Badge of Gold, not a rusty star of Tin You know I wasn’t born here But this is surely where I’ll die Bury me under a rolling thunder And lightning Texas Sky (In my Pancho) Last Stand in Texas Bye Bye- So long Going Home
