Subject: Lyr Add: SILLY SONG + ENJOY ENJOY...(Patrick Sky)
These from the back of the album jacket "Reality is Bad Enough", Verve Forecast FTS-3052. Just played it for the first time in about 15 years- forgot what a great album it was.

SILLY SONG
Patrick Sky

Silly words of poetry, photographs in rhyme
Dancing words that seem to be
but measurements in time
Words that have a simple sound,
meanings of their own
Hidden phrases sing to you
with difference of tone.

CH
And though you do not understand
The things I say and do
Reality is bad enough
Why should I tll the truth?

McCarthy Square, I'll meet you there
if you don't meet me first
And we'll sit beneath the shady trees
and curse and curse and curse
Its up to Forty-Second Street to see the freaks and lights
Or else, my dear, I'll meet you here
and show you all the sights

CH

=================

ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY
Patrick Sky

I'm sittin' here, I think about.
And wonder if we can work it out
And do the goodies by yourself
Or does my image follow you
And interfere with things you do
Make you think you're someone else?
Relax your mind and you will fund
Your troubles will be left behind
Baby, don't you blow your cool

Chorus:
'Cause I'm just a short-time lover
They call me the wayward boy
Got forty-nine women on my shelf
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

Now ladies if you need some help
And presently you haven't dealt
With present problems that you have
Have you tried a remedy
Called Patrick's perspicacity?
We'll show you what it means to live
Try it once and you will find
Your troubles will be left behind
Baby, don't you blow your cool

Chorus:
