    RHYTHM AND BLUE JEANS Kathy Klein Verse 1 Deadlines dropping on my desk Inbox is full and the boss is uptight But I can't get nothin' done 'Cause I'm too busy thinkin' bout tonight Prechorus You think I swoon over all those stuffy execs Truth is I'm head over heels 'cause when the sun sets I'll be Chorus Flyin down the highway in your car Dancin on a dirt road under the stars Don't need those guys with a Pulitzer prize They don't hold me when I'm tryin' not to cry They might own everything with an ivy league family tree But baby they don't got nothin on your rhythm and blue jeans Verse 2 You slide across the dance floor Teasin' me with every crease Stonewashed, torn up, or cowboy cut You're never worn out to me Prechorus Chorus Bridge Green light Let's go No time to waste let's hit the road You're strumming your guitar And it's a humming in my heart I'm about to lose control as I'm...

    Sweet Memories Kathy Klein Verse 1 You make me bacon and eggs every morning Sometimes they burn Well we like to visit Paris in springtime With money we earn Prechorus We got a good thing goin' Won't throw throw throw it away There's nothin' that we need to show 'em The proof is between you and me and the way Chorus We make sweet memories And I keep 'em in my pocket along with the locket you gave to me We make sweet memories And we're gonna make some more just got to wait and see what they're gonna be Verse 2 We sang a karaoke duet A little off key People threw tomatoes til we got off the set We slipped and you kissed me Prechorus Chorus Bridge Some people think we're unstable 'Cause we get up and go on a whim But as long as we're willing and able What's the use in holding life in, 'cause Chorus

    Water your soul At night you go looking for a cricket to turn your luck around When life has become a speeding ticket you got when slowing down Oh, life is full of twists and turns So that we can feel the burns And that's how we learn, so you gotta Chorus: Water water water water water your soul 'Cause you know in the end it begins with a hope Always let serenity be the goal 'Cause as bad as it gets there's always a way to cope When a bus hits a puddle that splashes all over your coat Don't let the earth swallow you whole And water your soul Verse 2: You could feed your flowers every Monday but they dry and shrivel up Pull out all the weeds before the sunrise heck they're back before the dusk Problems never go away But nobody can take your place So gotta keep the faith, and Chorus: Water water water water water your soul 'Cause you know in the end it begins with a hope Always let serenity be the goal 'Cause as bad as it gets there's always a way to cope When a bus hits a puddle that splashes all over your coat Don't let the earth swallow you whole And water your soul Bridge: When the drought seems neverending And you're filled with despair Just remember rain is coming Just remember rain is coming Water your soul Chorus: Water water water water water your soul 'Cause you know in the end it begins with a hope Always let serenity be the goal 'Cause as bad as it gets there's always a way to cope When a bus hits a puddle that splashes all over your coat Don't let the earth swallow you whole And water your soul

    DAISY MAY Verse 1 Back in 1848 Daisy came from the edge of town Raised by the rocks on the river Soothed her pain, moving from train to train Looking for something better Like Jesse James She was a hard headed soul And a hard case to crack But when she got a taste of that gold She knew her place was there above the tracks Chorus: Daisy May She go with the go with the locomotive Daisy May She go where she go where she want to go and Robbin the railways That's how she spent her days While the town folk would sit and pray For Daisy May Verse 2: She had the sweetest face It was the greatest disguise No one suspected a pistol But she spun it out with bullets in her eyes And the passengers screamed along with the train whistle Chorus: Daisy May She go with the go with the locomotive Daisy May She go where she go where she want to go and Robbin the railways That's how she spent her days While everyone ran away From Daisy May Bridge: Well she thought she was invincible So when they cuffed her little hands She threw a big ole fit For messing with her plans But she could not be detained And while the sheriff looked away She grabbed his keys set herself free And made her big escape, 'cause Chorus: Daisy May She go with the go with the locomotive Daisy May She go where she go where she want to go and Robbin the railways That's how she spent her days And how they all learned her name Daisy May

    DISCO GIRL Verse 1 Friday night my guy blew me off Got a date with Tivo But the only thing I'll be turning on Are reruns of The Love Boat Prechorus So so so I break out my crystal ball And my tarot deck And I step step step into my time machine and take a deep breath Chorus And I'm back in 78 Hooking up with John Travolta Sharing a glass of cheap champagne I chase it down with a pepsi cola Twirling on the dance floor with a guy and his jheri curl And he smiles over at this boogie oogie disco girl, disco girl, disco girl, disco girl Verse 2: Electric slide and I glide over the beat Grooving to a cool synthesizer track This moment takes me higher O I'm never going back Prechorus But but but I start to get a little homesick And miss my family and friends But just just just as I'm leaving, my nostalgia wins Chorus And I stay in 78 Hook up again with John Travolta Share another glass of cheap champagne Chased down with a pepsi cola Twirling on the dance floor with a guy and his jheri curl And he smiles over at this boogie oogie disco girl, disco girl, disco girl, disco girl Bridge: As the nighttime ends I head back home And look into my mirror And see the disco ball hangin' crystal clear And I see Chorus: Me in 1978 Hookin up with John Travolta Sharing a glass of cheap champagne Chased down with pepsi cola Twirling on the dance floor with a guy and his jheri curl And he smiles over at this boogie oogie disco girl Copyright 2013 Kathy Klein

    Night Cream Verse 1: I got three kids and a full time job oh yeah No doubt about it, I truly am blessed Still some days I really struggle Like chasing rabid dogs through a jungle, with no GPS Can’t believe it’s only Tuesday evening I'll never put Carol Brady to shame Bills are piling up with the laundry Found my checkbook at the bottom of the diaper genie Along with my brain, 'cause Chorus: 'Bout two o'clock this morn The baby screamed her favorite song She was up and all ready to play Didn't care that it wasn't day These dark circles under my eyes Make me look like I'm 85 So get a latte with a lotta caffeine And while you're out could you grab a tub of night cream Verse 2: Two minutes this morning to pick out my clothes My big toe peeks out of the hole of my clashing socks Halloween sticker on my pants Cup of hot coffee in my hand And I trip over a juice box, 'cause Chorus: 'Bout two o'clock this morn The baby screamed her favorite song She was up and all ready to play Didn't care that it wasn't day These dark circles under my eyes Make me look like I'm 85 So get a latte with a lotta caffeine And while you're out could you grab a tub of night cream Could you grab a tub of night cream (X2) Chorus: 'Bout two o'clock this morn The baby screamed her favorite song She was up and all ready to play Didn't care that it wasn't day These dark circles under my eyes Make me look like I'm 85 So get a latte with a lotta caffeine And while you're out could you grab a tub of night cream Could you grab a tub of night cream

    NO MORE INCARNATIONS PLEASE VERSE 1 Oh I've been Cleopatra And I've fought the Japanese Been a nomad starved to death in 21 degrees And I've met Napoleon and sailed the seven seas So no more incarnations please Back in the middle ages, I tortured many fleas And as a peasant I learned how to make a soup with peas I've combed the desert with my camel and my coteries So no more incarnations please CHORUS When I was on the other side My spirit guides they told me how I could evolve my soul But now that I'm in life 4029 I'm kinda wondering how many more I've left to go Will this cycle ever end Or will I keep returning Since it's obvious that I'm not learning VERSE 2 Last life I sold used cars Jaguars and Ferraris I was trusted not to charge folks any extra fees So karma sent me packing outback with nothing but my keys So no more incarnations please CHORUS When I was on the other side My spirit guides they told me how I could evolve my soul But now that I'm in life 4029 I'm kinda wondering how many more I've left to go Will this cycle ever end Or will I keep returning Since it's obvious that I'm not learning VERSE 3 I know that I'm a soul Who oughtta change some priorities If enlightenment's ever meant to be more than a tease I better show some appreciation For each and every situation And return to this civilization one more time on my knees So one more incarnation Maybe two, maybe threes (ha!) Or many more, many more, oh heck, give me many more incarnations please!

    YOU'RE JUST NOT THAT INTO ME Verse 1: You may have seen me sitting right beside you looking naive And baby that's exactly what I'd like you to believe 'Cause I've been waiting for you hoping you'll make a move Bought a brand new pair of skinny blue jeans just so you'd be impressed But you didn't hardly notice me and now I'm so depressed But I'm still waiting for you watching your every move Knowing you'll some day open your eyes And see me the way that I see you tonight Chorus: Or am I just delusional Could it be that you don't find me irresistible (nah) I think we were meant to be But is my judgment failed by a break in reality Baby is my love too blind to see You're not that into me Verse 2: Saw you last night with a girl on your arm Guess she just couldn't resist your charm Like a bottle of wine looking for a glass to fill It might be wishful thinking but as long as we're drinking I know that somethin's bound to spill Chorus: Or am I just delusional Could it be that you don't find me irresistible (nah) I think we were meant to be But is my judgment failed by a break in reality Baby is my love too blind to see You're not that into me Bridge: Someday you'll come up to me And ask me for my hand Then we'll book the caterer, photographer, and band (right?) Chorus: Or am I just delusional Could it be that you don't find me irresistible (nah) I think we were meant to be But is my judgment failed by a break in reality Baby is my love too blind to see You're just not that you're just not that you're just not that....
