I'd say from your appearance You could use a little self-control! I think I've heard them sing the song, but I didn't buy that particular CD, We Don't Talk about That! |

On the one hand, Mudcat is a fabulous resource. On the other hand, the song is copyrighted, and it seems as if the best thing to do would be to buy the CD. (?) Rita F |

06 Oct 05 - 06:43 PM (#1577538) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hard Work and Perseverance - Berrymans From: Jim Dixon On the other hand, the Berrymans have already made a lot of lyrics available on their web site. I believe all the lyrics are available for their two most recent albums--and one of those albums is a 2-CD "greatest hits" compilation. I'd be willing to bet the only reason they haven't posted lyrics to all their songs is that (1) it's a lot of work and (2) they figure fewer people would be interested in their more obscure songs. And maybe even (3) posting all their lyrics would look too much like egotism and they're rather modest people. But of course, in case of doubt, it wouldn't hurt to ask. |

They say that nobody on the West Coast would understand them. Being a Wisconsin Boy, I'd like to hear something from home. Anybody know anything of their Wisconsin songs? -Joe Offer- |

A couple yellow pencils tumbled off a pencil truck. One careened across the berm and ker-plopped in the muck. Subsequently rescued by a hobo and his troop, He was used to alternately scratch and stir the soup. The other pencil bounced into the royal limousine, And plunked into the slot that was the cleavage of the queen. His years were spent in splendor gazing out across the moat. One day he spied his tattered friend and penciled him a note: CHORUS 3. A couple grapes were lounging separated from the bunch. A grackle grabbed 'em both but then she sneezed and dropped her lunch. One fell down the chimney of a winery below And plopped into the mash that was to be a fine Bordeaux. The other grape had landed on a raisin-drying rack, Destined for a Danish in a bar in Fond du Lac. Through a fluke they ended up upon the same buffet. The raisin said, "How did you get so fancy, s'il vous plait?" CHORUS [The first half of each verse has the same melody as the second half.] |

Peter with the lyrics) manage to produced these intricate works on the the most unlikely topics. Thanks, Lou and Peter. |
