Rain may fall, snow hit the ground.
Sun’ll shine if the clouds don’t come to town.
These things I am fairly certain of
One thing fits me like a glove.
(Chorus)
I’m crazy about my baby,
I’m committed to her love.
Flowers bloom, when it’s spring
Robins show up, start to sing.
Peace comes on the wings of a Dove
One thing fits me like a glove
(Chorus)
Stars are out, moon shining down
Everybody loves a clown
Love makes the world go around
Your love keeps my feet on the ground.
(Chorus)

As I walk along this old dirt road,
I must be doing something right I’m getting old.
But you know, I don’t really mind
I got one more day in time.
Sometimes things is right, sometimes they’re wrong
Some of your days are short some are long.
Way things turn out could be bad or good,
You may holler out, “That didn’t work the way that it should”
Whatcha Gonna Do, Whatcha gonna do.
All you can do is what you can.
Dig the dirt and play in the sand.
Fly through the air, walk upon the land.
Take your turn walk like a man.
Keep your eyes wide open, your hands upon the wheel,
Life’s a card game and it’s your deal.
Some folks like to scream and fight,
I know everything’s gonna be all right…..
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
Never know when the end is in sight,
Could be the middle of the day or a cold dark night.
You may get to finish what you start to do,
Eat your lunch or tie your shoe.
Go for water find your well run dry,
Time to stop walking and learn to fly…
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do

What can I say about today?
It’s not much different than yesterday.
The sun came up, when the moon left town.
Probably stick around till it goes down.
Like the stones in a path
The water in a brook
Our days follow each other
Like the pages in a story book
(Chorus)
Let’s celebrate the anniversary
Of a brand new day.
I don’t want to wait till tomorrow
It’s way too far away
A year from now, seems an eternity
Eternity is fine, if you spend it with me.
You know how time slips up on you
The way it slides out on the sly
Everyday you pass through
Is just a cloud in the sky, it’s true
(Chorus)
Time is like a train, rollin’ down the track
The days you once had, never do come back.
So cherish every moment as it passes your way
Like the smile of a child, lost in his play.
(Chorus)

I might be out watching the sunrise,
Or sitting on a cliff and watching the birds fly.
But, sometimes I’m so happy I just sing.
I might be home sitting with my lady,
Or out taking a walk where it’s nice and shady.
But, sometimes I’m so happy I just sing.
(CHORUS)
I just sing anything that comes to mind.
Something that I hope will rhyme.
Sometimes I’m so happy I just sing.
Said I might be home sitting and thinking,
Or out with old friends hooting and a drinking.
But sometimes I’m so happy I just sing.
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
I just sing. I just sing. Sometimes I’m so happy I just sing.
Repeat 1st verse and scat and chorus and bridge

Got up this morning, put on clothes again
Went to the kitchen, had coffee and then
Telephone rang, bank’s on the line
Said you owe us money, bring it in by nine.
(Chorus)
One thing’s for certain, you know it’s true,
Ain't no doubt about it,…………Charlie hates the blues.
Went to the car, saw the broken glass
Tried to start it, had no gas
The radio’s broken, won’t make a sound
Got out saw four flat tires, clear to the ground.
(Chorus)
Back in the house woman’s putting me down
Says she’s tired of me actin’ like a clown
If I don’t straighten up, quit messin’ around
I’ll be sorry, cause she gonna leave this town.
(Chorus)
Down to the bus, the bus was late
Got to my job, they had locked the gate
Sign said he that lost done hesitate
I said ---- Man-----ain’t that great?
(Chorus)

Sittin’ in the house on a rainy day
Everything and nothin’ goin my way
I don’t have nothing else to say
Sitting in the house on a rainy day.
Stuck in they house on a rainy day
Nothing to do but sit and play
Guess I’ll just pick away the day
Stuck in the house on a rainy day
(Chorus)
Oh rain don’t go away
I don’t wanna do nothing today
Rain, rain go ahead and stay
Just let time tick away.
I been savin’ it up for a rainy day
Oh yea, been sockin’ it away
Bring it out and give it away
Cause I been savin’ it up for this rainy day
(Chorus)
Sitting and groovin’ on a rainy day
Stereo’s on Jim’s playin’ Dream Away
Reminds me of the good old days
Sitting and groovin’ on a rainy day
(Chorus)

Life is real, it's not a game,
Not always easy ad it's never the same.
I go around in circles.
Up and down and all around,
In the sky and on the ground.
I go around in circles.
First it’s light, then it’s dark
Walk down the street end up in the park
I go round in ..........circles
Things is my way and then they're not.
I could be cool and then become hot.
I’m going around in circles.
Circles from above, circles from below.
Just where I'm going I don't really know.
But, I'm goin around in circles.
A circle's got no beginning, got no end
You don't know where you're going, know where you been
You're goin' round in circles
You may get turned, or maybe tossed.
Goin in circles you don't get lost.
But you're goin round in circles.
Life is real, it's not a game,
Not always easy and it's never the same.
I go around in circles.

I took a walk the other day,
Fresh fallin’ snow I made my way.
The air was crisp, cold and clean
The clouds muted the sun and its beam.
As I walked a thought came to my head
My feet could have something to be said.
A large patch in the virgin snow,
My anonymous message for all to know.
(Chorus)
It’s a peace sign in the snow,
Peace sign in the snow.
I walked it once and I walked it again
Thinking ‘bout the world we live in
Leaving my message quiet and clear
Peace on earth, at least right here.
(Chorus)
I’ll go out again today
Re-step with my feet that way.
Re-say what I said yesterday
Peace on earth
Right here today.
(Chorus)
Cheshire moon up in the blue.
I look at you, and I wonder who.
Oh whom are you smiling at tonight?
Cheshire moon way out there.
I look at you and I got to stare.
Oh, whom are you smiling at tonight?
(CHORUS)
Don’t you know there’s trouble in the land.
Things are getting our of hand.
It’s hard to find enough food to eat.
Get new soles for the shoes on your feet.
Cheshire Moon in the sky.
I look at you and I wonder why.
Oh why, are you smiling so bright tonight?
Oh, Cheshire Moon a way out there.
I look up at you, and I wonder where.
Oh, where is my sweet baby at tonight?
(CHORUS)
