She's crazy like a fool
What about daddy cool?
I'm crazy like a fool
What about daddy cool?

Billy Taylor : July 24 1921 – December 28 2010
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all the chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud, say 'em clear
For the whole round world to hear

Agathe von Trapp : 12 March 1913 – 28 December 2010
The hills are alive with the sound of music
With songs they have sung for a thousand years
The hills fill my heart with the sound of music
My heart wants to sing every song it hears

So, baby, I'm old enough for you

Don Van Vliet : januari 15 1941 - december 17 2010
The morning was distemper grey,
Of the thousandth and tenth day of the human totem pole.
The man at the bottom was smiling.
He had just finished his breakfast smiling.
It hadn't rained or manured for over two hours.
The man at the top was starving.
The pole was a horrible looking thing
With all of those eyes and ears
And waving hands for balance.
There was no way to get a copter in close
So everybody was starving together.
The man at the top had long ago given up
But didn't have nerve enough to climb down.At night the pole would talk to itself and the chatter wasn't too good.
Obviously the pole didn't like itself, it wanted to walk!
It was the summer and it was hot
And balance wouldn't permit skinning to undergarments.
It was an integrated pole, it was taking on an reddish brown cast.
Exercise on the pole was isometric,
Kind of a flex and then balance
Then the highest would roll together,
The ears wiggle, hands balance.
There was a gurgling and googling heard
A tenth of the way up the pole.
Approaching was a small child
With Statue of Liberty doll.

Het gras waarop wij lagen
Heeft zich allang opgericht
Het gras, het gras
Buigt onder de vlagen
Het gras waaronder je ligt

Typical girls stand by their man
Typical girls are really swell
Typical girls learn how to act shocked
Typical girls don't rebel
Who invented the typical girl?

General Johnson : May 23 1943 – October 13 2010
I’m packing up my cares and weary mind
I’m on my way to a better place
I’m leaving hate and prejudice behind
I’m on my way to a better place
Where love is free, to hell with hate

Solomon Burke : March 21 1940 – October 10 2010
When you're waiting for a voice to come
In the night and there is no one
Ah don't you feel like crying?
(Cry to me!)
Don't you feel like crying?
(Cry to me!)
Ah don't you feel like a-ca-ca-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra
(Cry to me!)
Cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying?

Norman Wisdom : 4 February 1915 – 4 October 2010
I’m not good-looking, I’m not too smart
I may be foolish but I’ve got a heart
I love the flowers, I love the sun
But when I try to love the girls
They laugh at me and run

And why did the birds change their song this year
Wish you were here

Up on the moon
We'll all be there soon
Watching the earth down below
We'll journey to mars
And visit the stars
Finding our breakfast on Pluto

So stay just one more day
Loneliness isn't far away
Just leave me tomorrow-o-o
You've hurt me enough today
George David Weiss : April 9 1921 – August 23 2010
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you

Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Sunset trumpeting the end of day
Storm clouds wrap the summer up in gray
But in the springtime of the year
We began a love that will remain evergreen
Through the seasons of the year

Christopher Dedrick : December 9 1947 - August 6 2010
See my kite, it's fun
See my kite, it's green and white
All that's between us is a little yellow string
But we like each other more than anything
And we'd like to be a zillion miles away from everyone
Cause Mom and Dad and Uncle Bill don't realise
Kites are fun, kites are fun, kites are fun
Kites are fun
Catfish Collins : 1944 – August 6 2010
Ha da da dee da hada hada da da

Replacing a woman with a love machine
Synthetic Substitution
Has taken over this land

For Belle and the boy Sebastian
Everyone thought it was a shame

Went too far again
Crashed his car in the rain

Fred Carter : December 31 1933 – July 17 2010
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down
Or cut him 'til he cried out in his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving."
But the fighter still remains

Hank Cochran : August 2 1935 – July 15 2010
You want me to act like we've never kissed
You want me to forget, pretend we've never met
And I've tried and I've tried, but I haven't yet
You walk by and I fall to pieces
