LYRICS: ALL NUDE ALL NITE verse 1 Talk about the reasons I’m attracted to the girl The way she makes me feel and, There’s that little curl Bouncin’ to the left Shake it to the right Got the total package Got it sewn up tight chorus ALL NUDE ALL NITE She’s a fantasy dancer ALL NUDE ALL NITE Makin’ monetary transfers ALL NUDE ALL NITE Ain’t lookin’ for no answers ALL NUDE ALL NITE bridge She floats in like Madame Butterfly Stings your heart & burns your eye Wearin’ pearls & high heel boots She’s a fashion statement in her birthday suit Slippin’ down that dance pole Drives the place insane Wraps herself around it Like a sweet little candy cane Dance baby dance, all night tonight verse 2 No matter what the season She lets it all unfurl All the cats are talkin’ ‘Bout the girl with the curl Up and down the parkway She shakes it for a fee Teasin’ poppa at the PH Settin’ dollar bills free repeat chorus bridge When you come to see her dance You can buy a tip-by-tip romance And if you think it’s all passé Just wait until she comes your way Scratchin’ for the money To keep her by your side That girl’s got you comin’ And you’re goin’ for a ride Dance baby dance, all night tonight Dance baby dance, all night tonight ___________________________

LYRICS: THE RAIN IN MY HEAD The rain in my head Clouding everything I do Hangin’ by a thread Can’t believe we’re really through Still feeling the pain When I should be over you But I’m at it again My ego’s turning black and blue The rain in my head Started after your good-bye It’s over you said Never gave a reason why I reach out at night Between the sheets that once held you You’re nowhere in site What am I supposed to do? Nothin’ I say, seems to stop or delay, all the pain that your leavin’ has caused Now I believe, you were out to deceive, your smile concealing your claws Your motivation, for our termination defies all the logical laws I’m bleeding in vain - left in the rain And I’m tired baby, so tired Don’t know what crazy things I might do The colors I see are only red and blue The rain in my head Turned into a hurricane It fills me with dread Am I the only one to remain? My bankroll is dry I’ve become a workday absentee And I’m taking a dive Clouds are closing over me Taxes and faxes, with fingerprint matches are pressing from every side Financial concern, and the third degree burn that you gave me are hurting my pride I have to admit, that my game is adrift and I feel like I’m ‘bout to collide I’m all turned around – no up or down I’m tired baby, so tired Don’t know what crazy things I might do The colors I see are only red and blue - And the rain baby - The rain in my head - The rain in my head _________________________________

LYRICS: THE NEW, JERSEY BOUNCE Put your toes in the fire, and see if it burns Stretch your arms to the sky, and do a slow turn You got a smokin’ little number, up in Ft. Lee But you’re down on the boardwalk, now how old is she? Chorus You’re doin’ the new, Jersey Bounce You’re doin’ the new, Jersey Bounce Baby that same old new, Jersey Bounce You’re drivin,’ Jersey bouncin’ - all night long Now the highway of temptation, is full of jealousy & doubt Says the airwave preacher, fadin’ in and out He heard from the heavens, and isn’t good news You’ve used up all your credits, now you gotta pay your dues Chorus Tell the man, about your evil ways (sinner) Confess your deeds, and it’s all ok (sinner) You promise not, to do it again (sinner) But it’s just a question of where and when (sinner) Out about and about, you got no doubts, passion can’t be slowed She’s unaware, you got no cares, got no heavy load Born again, and then again, salvation’s round the bend Make some time, turn on a dime, someone shout “Amen!” Six lanes of road, turnpike to heaven Miles slip away Goodbye Cape May, Hello Secaucus Get down pray. Parkway hoppin’ ain’t no stoppin’ Look out Pennsauken You know the way Chorus Still seein’ that chick in Brick? That little shiver in Tom’s River? Is Sherry still in Cherry Hill? Getting’ down in Bordentown? _________________________________

Squeeze Play 03:07
LYRICS: SQUEEZE PLAY Fallen in love ‘bout two-hundred times You’d think I’d know better, it’s almost a crime But hello and goodbye, don’t imagine I’m yours If I can’t breathe, I’ll be breakin’ down doors You’re so irresistible, feel your charms I loose control when I’m in your arms You make it so easy, to get caught in a squeeze play You make it so easy, I’m caught in a squeeze play Now I’m holdin’ a place for you deep in my heart Hopin’ for love, waitin’ for it to start I’m telling you now and I know it’s a sin But I steal away when love closes in How long it lasts is just a matter of time Love hits the ground runnin’ but don’t cotton to flyin’ You make it so easy, to get caught in a squeeze play You make it so easy, I’m caught in a squeeze play ____________________________________

LYRICS: I'M THE SPY WHO LOVES YOU Quiet street A perfect cover Yellow house No flower out of place I’ll mow my yard (neighborly) Get the kids up, hurry to school Watching you, from a distance your lifestyle, your tv -- you think: What you see is real ! In the Motherland we see you! I’m the spy, (Who loves you) I am the spy who loves you You spy too We both do The spy and you Blow my cover Then you’ll see, The nature of my work Is most unsavory Agent 10, dash 462 Code name… Dr. Bleu In your midst for cocktails n’ canasta Laugh at your jokes, and look right past ya Go through your papers, read the lost and found Things you say will be written down Behind the screen, hides a face But when you look, I’m gone without a trace On the last day of the year We’ll take stock of what is near and dear I’m not the man you think I am The last remains, of a cold war shadow land Radio tonight Shortwave delight Code name Bleu, Dr. Bleu Beaming out to you Secrets coming through Call Motherland, Motherland Calling Motherland! When I’m gone They’ll be no fond adieus No more lies No more rendezvous You won’t know, it’ll all seem, A bit blurred, like tv -- you think: What you see is real ! In the Motherland we see you! ___________________________

Some folks got things all figured out Land of plenty, so devout Want for nothing, have no doubts One way in and one way out Tell me that the world is pancake flat If there’s a profit to be made from that Reward the righteous, is what it’s all about One way in and one way out There’s a clear and present danger near A form of justice that abides in fear Wake up one day, who got all the clout? One way in and one way out One way in and one way out (repeat) Hand me down my walking cane Stand beside me in the rain Move from darkness when in doubt One way in and one way out Have your fun now brother while you can Your days are numbered, turning back to sand It bears repeating, won’t you jump and shout One way in and one way out One way in and one way out (repeat) _________________________________

about

This first batch of “goodies” was a lot of fun to work up thanks to help from some amazing musicians and my studio collaborator, Michael McGregor.

Michael is a gifted keyboard player and does some particularly tasty work on 'The New, Jersey Bounce'. That track also features the cool voice of Windy Karigianes and some awesome solos from bassist Keith Jones and alto sax player Reinhold Schwarzwald.

Veteran LA singer Les Lake helped me out on vocals on 'All Nude All Nite' – a song that also features the lead guitar work of New Orleans’ Stephen Landon. 'One Way In One Way Out' also features some wild guitar licks from funky front-man Aaron Steinberg, aka Capt. Danger.

Hope you enjoy these “goodies!”

INSPIRATION FOR THE “GOODIE GARDEN”
If anyone from where I grew up in Montesano, WA remembers a little coffee shop downtown called The Goodie Garden, then you know where I got the inspiration for my music site. When I was about 3 years old, I spent many mornings there with my mom and her lady friends as they visited, drank coffee, and introduced me to the irresistible pleasures of maple bars and glazed donuts. Sweet!
