Whaduyoucare, Baby?
Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté
Copyright © 2016 Rich La Bonté (BMI).

Oooh, baby, baby. You done me wrong.
Misunderstanding. Up against the mall.
I think you know what happens when you
Blow them away.
Whatduyoucare, baby?
Tactile explosions. All along the road.
Not the slightest notion.
So watch out for the ocean.
Don't look around, the sharks are everywhere.
But whatduyoucare, baby?
Certain executions seem to, get your goat.
Maybe you'd better, learn how to float.
I think you know what happens when ya
Crash and burn.
But whatduyoucare, baby? You never learn.
You never learn. You never want to know.
You never ask no questions.
You're like invisible mole.
Hiding from a blizzard, melted long ago.
But whatduyoucare, baby?
Hidden disapointment plays a, final card.
All the stuff in all the world
Won't help you in the Yard.
I think that you expected this, some final
Hip revenge. But whatduyoucare, baby?
You never learn. You never want to know.
You never ask no questions.
You're like invisible mole.
Hiding from a blizzard, melted long ago.
But whatduyoucare, baby?

Yer So Smart U Figger It Out
Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté
Copyright © 2016 Rich La Bonté (BMI).
All Rights Reserved.
I saw her plainly in the distance
An apparition on the shore
I took another look
And broke into a grin
Something was but isn't
As the tide rolls in.
Madam Frankenstein
Hopes for future bribes.
Reparations paid
To the native tribes.
It was a time of free admission
Rumors and incense in the air
I took another bite
And felt a little pain
As it all dissolved around us
In the toxic rain.
And the Colonel said:
Pass the mustard, please.
And the clown rolled on
Through the fallen trees.
Another day
In the neighborhood.
I'd give you mine
If I only could.

Move Right In
Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté
Copyright © 2016 Rich La Bonté (BMI).
All Rights Reserved.
I was crawlin' home from work after a hard day
And I got this call from Kim Fowley, he said
Got this bass player in town
Needs a place to stay
That OK with you, man?
You in?
I got room for her, babe.
She can move right in.
Plenty of beer in the kitchenette.
Don't care where she's been.
So she shows up at my door
Girl at least six foot four with a bass guitar
And she thought it was a motel
And I said didn't Kim tell you who I was?
And she said no and I said
That's OK.
I got room for you, babe.
You can move right in.
Plenty of beer in the kitchenette.

Take Me Away She Said
Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté
Copyright © 2016 Rich La Bonté (BMI).
All Rights Reserved.
Met a girl at the Laundromat
Want to see the world
[CHORUS]
Take me away
She said:
Take me away.
I said I'd like to help you, babe
But I'm gettin' kinda' old for that stuff
Break Verse So what doyuh do when you meet a girl like that
And she's only twenty-two?
You gotta turn away and make some excuse
Or it'll all come back on you.
Older you get the more it seem
Life ain't fair that way.
So sow your wild oats while you can
Before you reach that day.
Met a girl at the grocery store
Got a real nice smile [CHORUS]
I said I'd really like to but I'm
In another aisle.
Met a girl at the penny arcade
Want to make a change [CHORUS]
Said I would oblige you, ma'am, but I
Oughta' act my age.
Take me away
I said:
Take me away.

Everything is All Right
Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté
Copyright © 2016 Rich La Bonté (BMI).
All Rights Reserved.
Everything is all right.
Everything is all right.
Everything is all right.
That's what they keep tellin' us
That everything is all right.
Don't worry, there. Everything is fine.
Everything is great. Well, maybe not.
Hello, America. It's election time again.
And I see you're parading out all your finest.
All those guys who can't get jobs doing
anything else and basically they go
into politics and stand around talking
about things that nobody cares about.
This year we have a great selection of idiots
who could be president of the United States
before you look around. And we don't really
have any power over those things so we just
sort of say everything is all right. [CHORUS]

Short But Sweet
Music and Lyrics by Rich La Bonté
Copyright © 2016 Rich La Bonté (BMI).
All Rights Reserved.
The shortest time
Sometime's the longest of the day.
The quickest path
Is often not the fastest way.
Some things you see tomorrow
Are not here at all today.
Life is short
And life is getting sweeter
So they say.
Tomorrow
We'll make it right
The Future
Is in our hands.
Onward and upward
And inside and out
You've got a new McMansion
All picked out.
Life is short
And life is getting sweeter
So they say
And life is getting sweeter every day.
