BALTIMORE

It's so nice to live here
I'm glad this is my home
I've got a homestead on Baltimore Street
it's someplace to call my own

it's all kinds of people
familiar places smiling faces
I'm proud to say I'm a Baltimorian
but the 'Birds' are the best
the best of Baltimore

we like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind

we like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
to enjoy the brotherhood of Baltimore

the sun sets across the bay
I'm glad I spend my day
in a working American city
with all the people who make it that way
it's time to jump in a taxi
for Thirty-third street
knowing I'll be watching those 'Birds' go,
watching Weaver's show

we like it here in Baltimore
there's so much love in Baltimore
working hand in hand
to make this place a better land in Baltimore
love is what you'll find so stop and take the time
I've got Oriole baseball on my mind
on my mind in Baltimore

BLUE SKIES

yeah...
those blue skies are ahead
blue skies in my head

All the town clocks
and marching soldiers socks
I say let's go let's go let's go
to this magic wonder show

and I'm walking and
crawling and

so tired i'm insane
so tour-on and sing

Blue skies are in my head
Said blue skies are up ahead...

Beach wood
says he'd like you-in-the-street
Said like you-in-the-street
in the lullabies

Just when she thinks it's
like-you-in-the-street
Said like-you-in-the-street
in the lullabies

You can go just where she's going

Blue skies are in my head
said blue skies are up ahead...

GARY’S GIRL

I'm gonna be Gary's girl
Six in the morning my hands are roamin' cause I'm
Gary's girl
There's a little bit of heaven on ninety-two seven
When you're Gary's girl
The boy knows how to turn me on
My friends all call me Gary's girl
He's just just just just so happening

You bet your life he is
You bet your life he is
You bet your life
He's a peel - not a banana
He's a peel - not a banana na na

I think I'm'a Gary's girl
We're all alone with this microphone
So I'm Gary's girl
He's coming around cause I'm going down
["That's stretching it Gary!" - Tori comments in between lines]
To Gary's world
[laughs]
The boy knows how to turn me on
My friends all call me Gary's girl cause
He's just so so so happening

You bet your life he is
You bet your life he is
Oh honey you bet your life
He's a peel - not a banana
Still a peel - not a banana

But he is just what he is
and he is and he is and he is.

THE HAPPY WORKER

Coughing from the smoke of a black roof chimney
Marching to the beat of a hot roof over me
Hey, ho, here we go, we're off to work again
Bells are ringing, we are singing,
Joyous in our industry

I love my job
he loves his job
pull that lever
start the engine
pump the water
build the pressure
push the piston
press the button

pump the water
build the pressure
push the piston
press the button

It's the perfect job

Happy workers
Happy workers
Happy workers

MERMAN

Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you're in Peppermint Land

He's a merman
He doesn't need your voice
He's a merman

Go to bed, dream instead
And you will find him
He's a merman eternally
Doesn't need something you're not willing to give
He's a merman
Doesn't need your voice to cross his lands of ice

Go to bed, the priests are dead
Now no one can call you bad
Go to bed, the priests are dead
Finally you found him - lala la
Who could ever say you're not simply wonderful?
Who could ever harm you?

Sleep now
You're my little girl

Go to bed, the priests are dead
And go singin' low again
Go to bed, past the apple orchard
And you'll feel nice
Two can play, I said, two can play

RUBIES AND GOLD

rubies and gold
star of my moonlight
warmer then roses in spring
the kingdoms were sold
to hold their beauty, well
i'd sell my life anyway
just to say i held their heart in my arms
there's strength in my soul
rubies and gold
are you to me
you're a jewel upon my chest
warming my heart with your kisses,
a peaceful way to rest
fulfilling my life long wishes
and silently you're watching me
stroking my cheek with your hand
your eyes are deep yet filled with tears
i've never seen so much love in a man
rubies and gold
star of my moonlight
warmer than roses in spring
the kingdoms were sold
to hold their beauty, well
i'd sell my life anyway
just to say i held their heart in my arms
there's strength in my soul
Rubies and Gold
you are to me

SIREN

and you know you're
gonna lie to you
in your own way

know know too well
know the chill
know she breaks
my Siren

NEVER was one
for a
prissy girl
coquette
Call in For
an ambulance
Reach high
doesn't
mean SHE'S
holy
just means
She's got a Cellular
handy
almost
Brave
almost
pregnant
almost in love "VANILLA"

and you know you're
gonna lie to you
in your own way

and you don't need the light
to guide you though this
