POPSICLES AND TELESCOPES

I turned on the radio   It was 3 AM  (3 AM 3 AM)

There was a voice talking about telescopes (Telescopes)

Seemed a bit unusual    So I listened a bit (Listened a bit)                                              

He talked about magnification (Magnification)

Zooming in on galaxies  (Galaxies)

He talked about interstellar garbage (Garbage)

And a few other things (And a few other things)

Well I thought about it and I felt I had to name this experience

  (Name it  Name it  Name it)

But I couldn’t think of much of anything  (Name it Name it  Name it)

But I came up with this    Popsicle music beat (Popsicle music beat)

 

 

I Don’t Wanna Be Popular

I don’t wanna be popular   Gimme a drink at the local bar

Take a swig on the mason jar   Stay away from sticky tar

I was being so patient   But it took way too long

Never rat on your friends    Always keep your mouth shut

 

I’M RIDING ON A SUBWAY TRAIN

Subway train subway train I’m riding on a subway train

There’s quite a few scary people on my car

Makes me fear for my safety

And I think that the end doors are locked

That’s not good

Subway train subway train I’m riding on a subway train

 

SO WHAT

So what so what    So what I listen to opera

So what I watch Baywatch

So what so what so what so what so what

Well I miss roller derby roller derby

So what so what

I come from the Bronx

So what so what so what so what

Well I don’t like butter   So what so what

I don’t like salt   So what

I like to walk in the rain   So what

I like loud music   So what so what so what so what        

Here we go here we go here we go

I don’t kill insects   So what

With an exception or two

So what so what so what so what

So what I listen to opera so what so what

DIRTY STREET FIGHT (SHE WUZ KINDA TOUGH)

Let me tell ya about a Dirty Street Fight

Dirty, dirty, dirty street fight

I seen my share, right on my block

As I was growing up    Growing up

Dirty street fight   Dirty, dirty street fight

I had one myself    It was a girl   She was not dainty

Tough, she was kinda tough, tough, tough, she was kinda tough

I had a chain   A chain, a chain, so what

That’s called, that’s called good defense

I had a chain   It was kinda just play

I made her cry, cry like a baby

Cry like a baby   Cryin’ like a baby

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it

 

 

Money Money god

Ahh Ohh   Ahh Ohh   Slow down   Slow down

How much money do you need

Well iI’s never enough if you know what I mean

Money money    money money god

We’re looking through a dirty window

Is it high or is it low    It’s not clear   Oh my dear

It’s not clear   Oh my dear

Money money    money money god

Choices, voices, decisions, divisions. provisions, visions

 

Articulate

Here I am   It’s another day   Here I am   Into the fray

It’s a different world   From when I was young

It’s a different world   With a sharp tongue

History is a mystery   To those who have no clue

History is a mystery   But not to me and you

Articulate   Is it open for debate   Articulate   Or keep it at hate

Here I am   It’s another day
