There's flies in the kitchen
I can hear 'em there buzzin
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today.

How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say?

Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery.
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this livin
Is just a hard way to go.

(John Prine)

There's barking in the kitchen, yelling in the hall,

Ringing of the doorbell, pounding on the wall,

Kids out of sight and kids in the way,

No time to cook on this hectic day,

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon....

Get a bucket of chicken

Finger lickin' good,

Have a barrel of fun

Good-bye ho-hum,

Say hello to your family,

C'mon, everyone,

Get some Kentucky Fried Chicken,

Have a barrel of fun     (Barry Manilow)

Now she wants...a butter an egg man
From way out in the west
She wants somebody...who's workin' all day
So she's got money...when she wants to play

Now pretty clothes...they'll never be mine
But what she told me the other day
I hope she don't change her mind
Now she wants...a butter an egg man
A great big butter and egg man
From way down south

 

[Satchmo classic, but took me awhile to find the writer: Percy Venable]

you call E. E. Lawson and what does he send?
he sends eggs, chicks, chicks and hens,
cocks and hides and butter-fat skins

E. E. Lawson, he's a hell of a man
E. E. Lawson for a one-night stand
E. E. Lawson
he got him a plan

"chicken train

runnin' all day

chicken train

runnin' all day

chicken train

runnin' all day

I can't get on

I can't get off

chicken train take your chickens away



laser beam

in my dream

laser beam

in my dream

laser beam

in my dream

I can't get on

I can't get off

laser beam's like a sawed off dream


chicken train

runnin' all day

chicken train

runnin' all day

chicken train

runnin' all day

I can't get on

I can't get off

chicken train take your chickens away"

I don't feel like a train anymore
I feel like the track
And if you want to change your luck
Put a penny on my back
Now my feet go everywhere
They're tying up the land
There was sorrow in my switches
Now the rust is in my hands
I don't feel like a train anymore
I don't feel like a train anymore

"I was born in the Southland
Twenty-some odd years ago
Ran away for the first time honey
When I was four years old

I'm a freeborn man
My home is on my back
I know every inch of highway,
Every foot of back road
Every mile of railroad track"    (The Outlaws)

I can keep my cool at poker
But I'm a fool when love's at stake
Because I can't conceal emotion
What I'm feeling's always written on my face
There's a gypsy down on Bleecker Street
I went in to see her as a kind of joke
And she lit a candle for my love luck
And eighteen bucks went up in smoke

Sharon I left my man
At a North Dakota junction
And I came out to the "Big Apple" here
To face the dream's malfunction
Love's a repetitious danger
You'd think I'd be accustomed to
Well I do accept the changes
At least better than I used to do

A woman I knew just drowned herself
The well was deep and muddy
She was just shaking off futility
Or punishing somebody
My friends were calling up all day yesterday
All emotions and abstractions
It seems we all live so close to that line
and so far from satisfaction

Dora says "Have children"
Mama and Betsy say "Find yourself a charity
Help the needy and the crippled or put some time into Ecology"
Well there's a wide wide world of noble causes
And lovely landscapes to discover
But all I really want right now 
Is find another lover

When we were kids in Maidstone, Sharon
I went to every wedding in that little town
To see the tears and the kisses
And the pretty lady in the white lace wedding gown
And walking home on the railroad tracks
Or swinging on the playground swing
Love stimulated my illusions
More than anything - "Song for Sharon" (Joni Mitchell)

It's very clear, our love is here to stay. Not for a year, but forever and a day...

"She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she walks by, the men folks get engrossed,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she winks an eye, the bread slice turn to toast,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she got a lot, of what they call the most,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
The girl can't help it, she was born to please,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
And if she's got, a figure made to squeeze,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
Won't you kindly be aware, the girl can't help it,
The girl can't help it  "
