Fred Astaire
Romance me...dance me
til I dont care
You havent lived until youve danced on air
Whisper nothings if you dare
Wont you please, be my fred astaire
(jam):
Everybody up...everybody up
Everybody up on the dance floor now
Everybody up...everybody up
Everybody up on the dance floor now
I know they call you mr. lonely heart
But youre the leading man to play the part
You dont have to be a millionaire
All you have to do is be my fred astaire
(chorus):
Get up now...get up now
Get up now...be my fred astaire (x2)
(jam):
When you move its like a melody
Serenading...the very heart of me
Ill be your ginger rogers on the floor
Swirl me. twirl me til I just cant
Take no more
(chorus):
Boy if you could only read my mind
Youve been in my dreams a thousand time
(jam):
(chorus jam):
Everybody up

Everybody up
(get up now)
Everybody up
(be my fred astaire).

Fred Astaire is my hero. I love him because he was willing to kill himself to make his art look effortless. And because he proved it's possible to be an artist and a good person.

Fred The Clown
Orange, blue, red, white and brown
The favorite colors of Fred the Clown
A happy and jolly clown he is
But some people he likes to tease
Everyone hates to be with Fred the Clown
But Fred never showed the people a frown
He never felt bad for what he did
The hatred inside the people had hid
The people thought of what to do with Fred the Clown
They decided to talk to the mayor of town
He laughed at what the people said
He laughed until his face gone red
The mayor didn't believe the people
For Fred the Clown gives him a tickle
They always the mayor smiled that way
Ever since Fred came each day
He already knew what Fred was doing
So he decided to call Fred for a meeting
The mayor told him what the people had said
And so left poor little Fred
The people decided to give Fred a chance
So Fred the Clown gave them a dance
The dance was so funny that they laughed all day
Fred the Clown will forever stay

United States Election
To vote the man into the oval’s chair
Wisdom’s choice would be a copy of Fred Astaire,
Not as silly as one might think,
Every step he carefully planned for a rightful link,
Executed perfection and in the right direction,
Put that in politics and you have a utopia election.
For a start can Hillary dance?
To the tune of the American nation,
Or has Barack with a beat a better chance
To bring on home the winning bacon.
The beat of a different drum
Heralds the winds of change,
Bring on a worry less mortgage for our homes
An’ a few more dollars to pay them loan’s.
Then in the medical stakes where at no. Thirty-seven,
Meaning lots of poorly people go early to heaven
Alleluias bring on the right steps!

Bernie the Con Man
Bernie the Con Man swears
he's on the straight and narrow
but he scoots when he walks,
whispers when he talks,
and people still believe him.
Maybe you can tell me if
he's always been this way.
He tries to tell the truth
but honesty evades him.
He's always on the move
like the silverfish I saw
darting in the shower,
dodging every stomp,
another Fred Astaire.
