MIDWESTERN SERIOUS Life happened and it took me away But there's always something left that stays Like the rubies in my eyes But it could have been black or white The sound of tears falling on bells Mix with such a serious youth MIDWESTERN SERIOUS SO SERIOUS BABY DON'T BE SO SERIOUS When you get home and the lights are on So you can somehow see When your mind is sprung just like a Ding Dang Dong So you can somehow see MIDWESTERN SERIOUS SO SERIOUS BABY DON'T BE SO SERIOUS BELIEVE DON'T THINK And it's suggestive and vague BELIEVE DON'T THINK And it's proper and tame The sound of tears falling on bells Mix with such a serious youth MIDWESTERN SERIOUS SO SERIOUS BABY DON'T BE SO SERIOUS BELIEVE DON'T THINK And it's suggestive and vague BELIEVE DON'T THINK And it's proper and tame The sound of tears falling on bells Mix with such a serious youth MIDWESTERN SERIOUS SO SERIOUS BABY

HEARTS FLYING HIGH (Anna, Carl, please come in. It's so good to see you) (It's that Anna Wong girl, you know the one who's mother ran that house over on Bonham Road?) Hearts were flying high when you walked in today I couldn't wait I couldn't wait I'm gonna lick you like a stamp on a letter going to Taiwan You're barely Asian but you're Asian Hearts were flying high when you walked in today I couldn't wait I couldn't wait I emanate I could get it on I've got a real big bottle of small blue blue moons I'm gonna walk all under them with you Hearts were flying high when you walked in today I couldn't wait I couldn't wait I'm gonna lick you like a stamp on a letter going to Taiwan You're barely Asian but you're Asian enough

CATS AND RAIN Cats don't like rain I saw one running up the neighbor's driveway today And the night is his palatial estate King of no lives or maybe no age The car pulls away and quickly loses its spots The cat dries off and watches the car Knows a good thing wants to keep going on Knows a good thing wants to keep going on Cats don't like rain I saw one running up the neighbor's driveway today And the night is his palatial estate King of no lives or maybe no age The car pulls away and quickly loses its spots The cat dries off and watches the car Knows a good thing wants to keep going on Knows a good thing wants to keep going on The car pulls away and quickly loses its spots The cat dries off and watches the car Knows a good thing wants to keep going on Knows a good thing wants to keep going on Cats don't like rain I saw one running up the neighbor's driveway today And the night is his palatial estate King of no lives or maybe no age The car pulls away and quickly loses its spots The cat dries off and watches the car Knows a good thing wants to keep going on Knows a good thing wants to keep going on

about

Since my 1995 Shave Librarian Release, 'Done Dog Brown', I've wanted to do this project. Initially it was called 'Spirit of '76', but later it morphed into 'SailorSam'.

The inspiration is from the summer of 1976, America's Bicentennial year.
