"Mandolin Man And His Secret"

"Mandolin Man And His Secret"



He came into town with his mandolin
Calling all the people and they came to him
He said, "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said, "I wanna hear all that's nice"

They laughed at him with his mandolin
They left him there with his funny grin
He said, "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said, "I wanna hear all that's nice"

The children of the town then came to him
Magically called with his mandolin
He said, "D'you wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said, "D'you wanna hear all that's nice"

They smiled at him with his mandolin
Their eyes like his were sparkling
He said, "I wanna hear all that's pretty"
He said, "I wanna hear all that's nice"
They said, "D'you wanna hear all that's pretty?"
They said, "D'you wanna hear all that's nice?"

"Maria Magenta"



Maria Magenta
Scarlet O'Hara
Henna ma honey
You are the one
Ma silver moon lady
She like a choir boy
Hair all a-cloudy
And flying and real

A halo of sky gold
A moon on the water
A scuddy go cloud go
Aroundy the sky bowl
Henna ma honey
You are the one

My copper go-go-girl
She like a show girl
Delightful Dolores
You are the one
My Anna Belinda
Rain on the window
Maggie yer reggae
You move me along

A halo of sky gold
The moon on the water
A scuddy go cloud go
Aroundy the sky bowl
Henna ma honey
You are the one

A halo of sky gold
Moon on the water
A scuddy go cloud go
Aroundy the sky bowl
Henna ma honey
You are the one

"Marjorie Margerine"

"Marjorie Margerine"



She sits at the window polishing horse brasses
An old man is snoring near wearing wire glasses
That makes her laugh but rain makes her sigh
Rain makes her cry and sex makes her shy.

Marjorie Margerine longs to be a queen
Marjorie Margerine longs to make a scene
She's at that age, Marjorie Margerine.

She can't get to sleep at night thinking of Thomas
She will try to see him today, make him promise
That makes her glad, she grin when she glad
She loves to be bad, ignoring her dad.

Majorie Margerine longs to be a queen, also
Majorie Margerine longs to make a scene
She's at that age, Marjorie Margerine.

She makes do with Teddy and the pillow-fellow
If mum could see how they perform, she would turn yellow
That makes her smile, she'll be grown in a while
Strutting around in style, drivin' all the fellas wild.

Marjorie Margerine longs to be a queen
Marjorie Margerine longs to make a scene
She's at that age, Marjorie Margerine.

She squints in the sunny yard, peeling oranges
She squints in the sunny yard, peeling oranges

"Maya's Dance"

"Maya's Dance"



See my own reflection in the water
If I concentrate, the image still
I look kind of real just like I oughta
Be just a splash and Maya's secrets spill
Can't stop this illusion that I-DO
Giving myself burdens Mighty Grim
Let me dig and twig there's nothing TO-DO
Everything in order, evolving
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
Must be this illusion that makes ME-FEEL
All this pain and pleasure is my own
I-identify with duality
Whe I am the ONE to lead me home
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
But here I am again associating
Choosing one or the other again
While the tiny dewdrop on the blossom
Reflects my tiny image once again
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true
Must be some good things to say about MAN
But one of them ain't that he's Aware
Alice had it right when she stepped over
Into Mirror land, the Truth is there
All appearances can be deceiving in Maya's Dance
Feeling alter views, out of shape and out of true

"Moon Rok"

"Moon Rok"



Loosen up a little like a vinyl man
Do the ticky tocky like an automaton
Flash a little glitter from your freaky eye
Sock it like a rocket in a purple sky.

Moon Rok man, do the Moon Rok man
Do the Moon Rok man with your Moon Rok gal.

Do the wormy wiggle wiggle 'round and 'round
Palpitate and levitate, leave the ground
Lose a little juice from your Venus mound
Thrust a little lust, a little count me down.

Do the Moon Rok man, do the Moon Rok gal
Do the Moon Rok man with your Moon Rok gal.

(Count down) 10
(Count down) 9
(Count down) 8
(Count down) 7
(Count down) 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1.

Moon Rok man, do the Moon Rok gal
Do the Moon Rok man with your Moon Rok gal.

Spin-a-like-a-gyroscope upon a string
Move-a-like-a horoscope a planet ring
Do the probe, feel the strobe and slowly bend
Phaze-her-with a lazer and amaze your friends.

Moon Rok man, do the Moon Rok gal
Do the Moon Rok man with your Moon Rok gal.

Do the Moon Rok man with your Moon Rok gal
Do the Moon Rok man with your Moon Rok gal
Do the Moon Rok man (with your Moon Rok gal)
Do the Moon Rok man (with your Moon Rok gal)
Do the Moon Rok man (with your Moon Rok gal)
Do the Moon Rok man (with your Moon Rok gal)

"Mr. Wind"

"Mr. Wind"



Where are you going, oh wind of the morning?
Your slippers are showing and you're still yawning
(To waken the wee ones, to tickle their lashes)
(Breakfast of milkbuns, toy spoons and splashes).

Good morning, Mr. Wind
Good morning, Mr. Wind
Where are you going?
(Where are we going?)

Where are you going so tinily singing?
Where are you blowing the kiss you are making
(To ponds to make ripplings, to blow out the matches)
(Lift up the gull wings when the plough scratches?)

Good morning, Mr. Wind
Good morning, Mr. Wind
Where are you going?
(Where are we going?)

Oh pa du bo bo ...

Good morning, Mr. Wind
Good morning, Mr. Wind

"Museum"

"Museum"



I drink sweet wine for breakfast, I slept about an hour or so
Smiled a little in the silence deciding on where to go.
"Meet me under the whale in the Natural History Museum,"
I think that's what she said, a little bit sad about having to leave them.
Yawning in the sun, like a child I run.
But don't do it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that.
No, don't it if you don't want to, I wouldn't do a thing like that.
How little do you speak of beauty, isn't it a shame, what ho
Maybe you should go get a power ring, you'd make all your troubles go.
There she stood in drag, just-a lookin' cool in astrakhan.
She's lookin' just a little wiped out, she said I looked like Peter Pan.
Yawning in the sun, oh baby, like a child I run.
But don't do it if you don't want to,
I wouldn't do a thing like that.
Oh no, no, don't do it if you don't want to,
I wouldn't do a thing like that.
Don't do it.

"My Love Is True (Love Song)"

"My Love Is True (Love Song)"



My heart is like a flower for my love
That blooms as I hold her tenderly
But it's rooted deep in fear, just as heavy as a tear
That whisper low, her lover is not for me.

My love is true, for her it is true
And I pray that her love is mine.

My love is like the first star of the night
That brightened up the world's first darkness
Like love stories very old, a million times been told
Her eyes are worth more than bright diamonds.

My love is true, for her it is true
And I pray that her love is mine.

My love is true, for her it is true
And I pray that her love is mine.

Alone at night in my dark lonesome room
I lie awake a-sadly dreaming
Although you're not very near, still I can hear
Your soft and tender heart a-beating.

My love is true, for her it is true
And I pray that her love is mine.

My love is true, for her it is true
And I pray that her love is mine.
