Lyrics
If Ants Could Talk!!!
Written by: Mark Brine
Chorus:
IF ANTS COULD TALK
This is what they’d say
Look out, look out, look out!!!
They’d run around screamin’
At the top of their lungs
Look out, look out, look out!!!Last night I dreamt I was interviewin’
This ant on a TV talk show
It was so sad to watch him tell this awful sad story
Of an incident not long ago
It seems he had fathered over 3000 children
Had a wife and an anthill home too
Then he showed me a picture from an ant newspaper clippin’
Of them all stuck on the bottom of a shoeNow I know this all might seem very petty
But it ain’t so ridiculous ya know
Just think if there was giants
‘N they were squishin’ us all up
Why you’d be scared every place thatcha go
You’d be waitin’ any minute to hear (squishing sound)
It’s all over as flat as a pancake ‘n you’d be stepped on
No, then you’d be grateful for me
‘N for whatever made me sing the words to this didactic ('di-did-I-cit' -intentionally mispronounced!) song

There's a Goose in Mrs. Alexander's Kitchen
Written by: MARK BRINE
Chorus:
THERE’S A GOOSE IN MRS. ALEXANDER’S KITCHEN
There’s a goose as big as any goose can be
And it’s fluddering ‘round and knockin’ down the dishes (trimmings)
And Mrs. A is in the utmost misery
Yeow (airplane sound)There goes the window shades
Ka-boom … there goes the chair
Mrs. A has got her broom out ‘n she’s chasin’ it here ‘n there
Ca-runch … there goes the china
Ching-a-ling … the silverware
What a mess that goose is makin’ everywhereWatch out for that big glass bowl!!!
Forget it she can’t hear
Mrs. A is on her knees now ‘n she’s pullin’ out her hair
Ca-rash … right through the cupboard glass
‘N all the plants hung with such care
It looks just like a pillow fight, there’s pieces everywhere 'cause

The Tale of the Troll 'n Me
Written by: MARK BRINE
Of my many travels, there’s one I ain’t surpassed
While crossin’ a deserted bridge I never quite got passedHearing sounds beneath me, I glanced down through a hole
And to my amazement there slept an ugly trollNow people speak of fables mytholic fantasies
But I can’t help believing in everything I seeSo fighting my adrenaline, I chanced to wake his sleep
In hopes that he’d be friendly a worthwhile soul to meetAnd upon awakening I noticed very clear
Rolling off onto his beard a single saddenin’ tearIt seems that he’d been taken, no one had ever dared
Others they just ran on by, they couldn’t control their fearAnd as we sat there talking, the hours just slipped on by
All the while I kept thinking how glad I was I’d triedCause all so many times in life, in fear we run away
and leave behind what we’d ‘ve gained If only we had stayed

Fred, The Yodelin' Pig
Written by: Mark Brine
Fred is the yodeling pig
He yodels everywhere he goes
You can hear him when he’s in his pen
Hear him time ‘n time againFred.. the yodeling pigFred left the barnyard one day
He felt he had to get away
He traveled to the city
All dirtied up ‘n gritty
And he yodeled every step of the way‘Cause Fred is the yodeling pig
He yodels everywhere he goes
You can hear him in the city
All dirtied up ‘n gritty
Fred the yodeling pigWhile Fred was in the city that day
He met a big producer from LA
He said, "Fred, I’ll make you a star
You’ll be famous near ‘n far
And you can yodel for your livin’ each day" soFred is the yodeling pig
He yodels everywhere he goes
You can hear him on the silver screen
Or drivin’ in his limousine
Fred the yodelin' pig

Don't Ever Pinch a Seagull
Written by: MARK BRINE
We went to the beach one sunny day
Down by the ocean in a beautiful bay
There was big brite umbrellas all colors f’sure
All across the sand-rite down to the shore
'N everywhere ya looked there was these big birds
Lookin’ for food ‘n there wasn’t no denyin’
I learned a hard lesson that I’ll pass on to you
‘N I hope you’ll just listen ‘cause believe me, it’s trueDON’T EVER PINCH A SEAGULL
They’ll scream bloody murder so loud
The whole beach’ll stop what they’re doin’
You’ll have every eye on ya in the crowd
Like as if you just murdered somebody
Oh, what a deathly lull
No, take my word ‘n just trust me • Don’t ever pinch a seagull!What an awful terrible experience that was
I still can remember that day
Before all’a that I was havin’ such a swell time
How quickly it slipped away
So I hope you’ll believe what I’ve told ya
‘N whenever you go to the beach
If ya wanna have fun ‘n enjoy all the sun
Well, doncha ever be tempted to reach - no

Antiques (What's an Antique?)
Written by: MARK BRINE
Chorus:
Antiques, tell me what’s an antique
That word has got me so confused
Has it got you wonderin’ too
(I see it almost everywhere)
And I get so all confused
Antiques, tell me what’s an antiqueWhenever Mom ‘n Dad take a ride
‘N travel thru the countryside
I always read the signs along the way
But every time I see that one
Antiques, well it leaves me dumb
‘Cause I just can’t fig’re what it’s ‘spose t’ sayWhen I chance t’ see ‘n ice cream sign
There ain’t no question in my mind what it means
‘N a big ole smile comes shinin’ thru
Or the restaurant signs, gas station signs
Yeah, I know just what is down the line
But, antiques … what in the heck’s an antique?

Leapin' Sam Patch
Written by: MARK BRINE
It was known up 'n down
In every little town
That was settled along the new canals
Sam Patch was renown
The young man from Rhode Island
Who would jump from any height
The crowds would gasp in horror
As they’d watch him in his flightChorus:
LEAPIN’ SAM PATCH
The young man oh so brash
Sailin’ through the air he’d come
Like a lightnin’ boltin’ flash
Leapin’ Sam Patch a legend far ‘n near
But, oh the price of glory
Is a price so ever dearGenesee Falls 1829 Rochester
New Yorkers gathered
Waitin’ there in lines
‘N down he soared the crowd it roared
But when the curtain call came ‘round
Leapin’ Sam Patch
He was no where to be found

Reg'lar Huck Finn
Written by: MARK BRINE
Just A REG’LAR HUCK FINN that’s all I ever been
Glidin’ thru life on a raft within
Unconcerned about the games folks play
Stuff like that only spoils m’ dayNo easin’ down a river that’s where I’m at
Turnin’ off the world ‘n confusion
That everybody’s trapped ‘n so wrapped-up in
But not me, I’m free ‘n just a reg’lar Huck FinnChorus:
In the scheme’a things the truth don’t ring
I listen now ‘n then t’ the songs they sing
‘N I close my ears ‘n my heart within
‘N take off aging yeah just a reg’lar Huck FinnJusta reg’lar Huck Finn that’s what I am
Artfully dodgin’ time ‘n time again
What’s ‘spose t’ be real ‘n what’s really real
All I know is what I feelYeah, like that turtle ‘n the hare
The story’s the same
People in a hurry try’n win that game
But the river keeps on rollin’ ‘n no one takin’ it in
But, I sure am, yeah a reg’lar Huck Finn

Smile (As You Go By)
Written by: MARK BRINE
If you can’t stop in your busy life
Then smile as you go by
What with all this world’s confusion
It’s a task to even try‘Cause you know, and I do too
It’s the best thing we can doYes, if you can’t stop in your busy day
Hey, smile ‘n give a wave
To somebody on the side lines
‘N include them in that way‘Cause you know, and I do too
It’s the best thing we can do
Spread goodwill ‘n it will
Eventually come back t’ you‘Cause to hold back is to squander
The greatest gift we all can bid
Yes, the inner love ‘n kindness
That’s returned, when’er we giveIf you can’t stop in your busy life
Then smile as you go by
What with all this world’s confusion
You’ll be an exception if you

The 'God Will Be Up' Lullaby
Written by: MARK BRINE
Lullaby – Good Night
Leave your worries with God
He'll be up all night anyway
Watching over his flock
Like the Good Shepherd does
'Til morning brings the light of dayLullaby its true
He holds me and you
In his warm loving arms like sheep
And protects us from the world
So now every boy and girl
Close your eyes and go to sleepChorus:
GOD WILL BE UP all night anyway
With his angels to watch you
'Til the break of day (in every way)
So don’t fear my little dear
'Cause God will be up all night anywayLullaby - sweet dreams
Leave your cares with Him
He'll be up to turn on the light
And protect you in this world
Every little boy and girl
Till this time again tomorrow night …
and then …
