bus (hagenbuch)

climb aboard
your friends are here
we can go almost anywhere
on the bus

here we go
we move along
soon we'll be singing this very song
on the bus

everywhere we end up
is where we'll be
it's not the destination
but the journey
on the bus

jay hagenbuch - lead vocals, acoustic guitar, keyboard
chris harris - drums


gussy (dana and jay hagenbuch)

gussy bear is cute
he wears a chicken suit
he likes to go to school
he isn't very smart
but he has a great big heart
and he does all the things that gussy's do

gussy likes to sit
and gussy likes to stay
and gussy likes to go in the yard every day
but gussy's favorite thing
is when the doorbell rings
and gussy boy can go and play

oh gussy, gussy, gussy
why did you get so fussy
why do you bark at everyone you meet
and gussy's favorite thing
is sometimes just barking
and gussy boy can bark at me

don gato (traditional mexican song, english words by margaret marks)

oh senor don gato was a cat Am G Am
on a high red roof don gato sat Am G Am
he went there to read a letter, E7
meow, meow, meow Am
where the reading light was better, Dm G
meow, meow, meow Am
'twas a love note for don gato E7 Dm Am

i adore you wrote the lady cat Am G Am
who was fluffy, white and nice and fat Am G Am
there was not a sweeter kitty, E7
meow, meow, meow Am
in the country or the city, Dm G
meow, meow, meow Am
and she said she'd wed don gato E7 Dm Am

oh, don gato jumped so happily Am G Am
he fell off the roof and broke his knee Am G Am
broke his ribs and all his whiskers, E7
meow, meow, meow Am
and his little solar plexus, Dm G
meow, meow, meow Am
ay caramba cried don gato E7 Dm Am

then the doctors all came on the run Am G Am
just to see if something could be done Am G Am
and they held a consultation, E7
meow, meow, meow Am
about how to save their patient, Dm G
meow, meow, meow Am
how to save senor don gato E7 Dm Am

but in spite of everything they tried Am G Am
poor senor don gato up and died Am G Am
and it wasn't very merry, E7
meow, meow, meow Am
going to the cemetery, Dm G
meow, meow, meow Am
for the ending of don gato E7 Dm Am

when the funeral passed the market square Am G Am
such a smell of fish was in the air Am G Am
though his burial was slated, E7
meow, meow, meow Am
he became reanimated, Dm G
meow, meow, meow Am
he came back to life, don gato E7 Dm Am

little bee (hagenbuch)

we rode our bike to the playground
it seemed like the place to be around
but someone followed me
it was just a bee

little bee would you use your wings
fly away and forget that sting
little bee would you do that for me
little bee hear the song I sing
fly away and forget that sting
little bee would you do that for me

I didn’t know what to do
I tried to give that bee a shoo
But still he did linger
As he landed on my finger

little bee would you use your wings
fly away and forget that sting
little bee would you do that for me
little bee hear the song I sing
fly away and forget that sting
little bee would you do that for me

And then I couldn’t say a thing
I could only feel the sting
How I wish he would listen to me

little bee would you use your wings
fly away and forget that sting
little bee would you do that for me
little bee hear the song I sing
fly away and forget that sting
little bee would you do that for me

too young (hagenbuch)

time whizzes by oh so fast
and nothing seems to last
but at least you know we had a blast
as we look on back to the past
thankful for all these laughs
and photographs

but i'm too young to remember

so i can't get any, cuz these sheep F C

in, such defeat, all these sheep can't be beat, in despair C F
now, hear them snore, on the floor, such a roar, everywhere C F

i wish that i could fall fast asleep G F
that's the whole point of counting sheep G F

that's where I want to be Am G/Am F
but there's one too many G
so i can't get any, cuz these sheep F C

but there's one too many G
so i can't get any, cuz these sheep F C
