I was born in Panama, the Republic of Panama, on July 16, 1948 in Panama City, in an area called San Felipe.

Panama
Jump back, whats that sound ?
Here she comes, full blast and top down.
Hot shoe, burnin down the avenue.
Model citizen zero discipline
Dont you know shes coming home with me?
Youl lose her in the turn.
Ill get her!
Panama, panama
Panama, panama
Aint nothin like it, her shiny machine.
Got the feel for the wheel, keep the moving parts clean.
Hot shoe, burnin down the avenue,
Got an on-ramp comin through my bedroom.
Dont you know shes coming home with me?
Youll lose her in the turn.
Ill get her!
Yeah, were runnin a little bit hot tonight.
I can barely see the road from the heat comin off of it.
Ah, you reach down, between my legs,
Ease the seat back.
Shes blinding, Im flying,
Right behind the rear-view mirror now.
Got the feeling, power steering,
Pistons popping, aint no stopping now!

Blue and You
It was Panama
And blue butterflies
Significant as Blue Velvet
Blue as the sea's surrounding it
Blue as your eye's
With glimmer's of surprise
Dancing with your smile
Near to Panama's quarter mile
You could have won me over
I was vunerable
And open
Empty arms
Just waiting
Your charms
Mixed signals
Sent
Too much time
Spent
Wondering?
Flirtation or imagination?
I'll never know
But Blue Butterflies do exist
In Panama's
Color tipped show

Panama Freighter
Night close in on a shanty town.
Panama freighter wearing rusty brown.
She sails tomorrow and shes homeward bound.
Head up on a lumpy sea.
Im not the only lonely planet rider
In this one horse town, Im thinking.
And I wont over-rate or patronize you.
I know were as different as chalk and cheese;
As black hole winters and salad days
And I wouldnt like your mother much anyway.
But its not her Im taking home with me.
Dont intend to dress you in silver threads
Like some trophy in sublime seclusion.
Wont try to educate or civilize you.
Night close in on a shanty town.
Panama freighter wearing rusty brown.
She sails tomorrow and shes homeward bound
And youre bound to come home with me.
On the panama freighter with me.

Cool Frog
Cool Frog rock,
Gripping long stalk.
Comes from Costa Rica
Borders with Nicaragua
and also Panama.
Not Brazil, that's Rio,
Born from an embryo
So everything that ever happened, we knew about in Panama.

Panama
I am from Panama and i am full of words,
So come and let me show you my concubines;
Then, you can explore my sweet love.
With two legs and two eyes,
With two hands and two ears,
And like the two pillars of love!
For, i am looking for a place to stay with this sweet muse.
They ate, drank and slept together! !
So, stay the night and enjoy yourself with my love;
And like 'Dr. Flash Hour' at the rush hour of the day!
But if only if i could hold your breasts and kiss you,
Then i will know your mind on this love.
If only if i could kiss your lips and love,
And like the sweet muse of love being reflected in the mirror! !
For i need ylou and i want your naked body beside me,
And like my concubines in the land of my muse.
Yes, come to Panama to enjoy my muse with the red roses of love,
For, i am loooking for a place to stay with this sweet muse of mine;
And, you are all that i need.

Live Those Songs
Saw him sittin on a sidewalk in fresno
Braided hair and a tye-dyed t-shirt on
Talkin to himself about vietnam
About the tour he did and the deal he got
He said this world aint the same if you ask me.
If I could be somewhere else, Id tell you where Id be
Id be rollin on a river with credence
Stealin kisses from peggy sue
Id be knee-deep in sand on a panama beach
In the spring of 72
Id be wastin away on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll in
He said what I wouldnt give just to live those songs again.
Saw him workin the counter at walgreens
With a new haircut and a bachelors degree
Talkin to himself about his raw deal
Cussin uncle sam and the gi bill
He said this world aint the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, Id tell you where Id be
Id be rollin on a river with credence
Stealin kisses from peggy sue
Id be knee-deep in sand on a panama beach
In the spring of 72
Id be wastin away on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll in
He said what I wouldnt give just to live those songs again.
He said this world aint the same if you ask me
If I could be somewhere else, Id tell you where Id be
Id be rollin on a river with credence
Stealin kisses from peggy sue
Id be knee-deep in sand on a panama beach
In the spring of 72
Id be wastin away on the dock of the bay
Watchin the tide roll in
He said what I wouldnt give just to live those songs again.

And $18 million in three Japanese banks, completely false. That I have two factories in Panama, also completely false. This is part of the counter campaign of some people.

Black Diamond Bay
Up on the withe varenda
She wears a nektie
and a panama het
Her passport shows a face
>>From another time and place
she looks nothin' like that
And all the remnats of her
recent past are scatterd in the wild wind
she walks across the marblefloor
where a voice from the gambling room is
cllin' her to come on in
she smiles
and walks the other way
as the last ship sails and the moon fades away
>from the black diamond bay
As the mornin' light break open
the greek comes down and he asks for
a robe and a pen that will write

Autograph
(kinky friedman & panama red)
Aint you the golden boy
Of the silver screen,
Your mothers pride and joy,
The promoters dream.
No time for autographs
Or sailin boats or trains.
No time for dreams to last,
You gotta catch that plane.
One magic midnight show,
She taught you how it feels,
Once, oh so long ago,
When rock & roll was real.
Turn on your radio,
The words you hear are mine.
Shoulda told you long ago,
But I never had the time.

Pan Am Highway Blues
I've gotten good at missin' her
I practice all the time
While I drive the Pan Am highway thru
With that cactus friend of mine
It's gettin' hard to see the white line rollin' by
I can't forget her memory deep inside
I dropped a bundle down in Panama
But the loss didn't do me no good
Spendin' cash and talkin' trash
Don't do it like it should
I realized I just couldn't buy her smile
I'll keep tryin' on that Pan Am mile by mile
If she'd meet me in San Salvador
I'd buy her a drink or two
We'd talk about our used to be
And ride on to Peru
The time to get it right is here and now
If she won't I'll move on anyhow

Trouble
A ship comes in from africa
Carrying forbidden cargo
Gonna bring somebody lots a trouble
Theres a family out in ohio
Gonna step on it and make it grow
Gonna fool some people at the double
Let it all go round
And it all comes down
A captain down in florida
Knows a man back in chicago
Every deal you know hes makin money
Rico comes from texas way
With a senorita from el paso
Glad hes found the land of milk and honey
Let it all go round
And it all comes down
g man down in panama
Cuts a trail to barcelona
Dip-lo-matic bag will be no hassle
Sails into the big t.o.
Thru the pipeline to alaska
Shes the one in town with something special
Maybe you maybe me maybe them
Look at you look at me look at them
Cut it out
You dont need it anyway
Sees its face in tennessee
Knows a place in casablanca
Detroit city never was a stranger
On the streets of amsterdam
London town and all around us
Everywhere we look we see the danger
Let it all go round
And it all comes down

Bra (Lingerie)
The bra is the
Most exotic body-wear
Too small and of only a handful
Much less than an hand-kerchief
Unladed weight of a very few ounces
Cross-stitched, padded, & deceitful
And has dangerous narrow pass
Just as the Panama canal
Connecting the sweating oceans
Suspended hairline-laces
Of an accurate physical balance
With delicate twin pans
To manage the mass weight
Of differing sizes
And a tolerance mechanism
That gets adjusted itself
For unseen expansions
Of any offensive actions
Tiny in shape and normally hidden
Like a land-mine,
But an explosive device
Forcing an hermit
From out of his recluse

Makin' It Natural
I'm gonna throw my grass out the window
Crumple up my papers too
Give away my speed, Cause all I'm gonna need
Is just a little bit of love from you
And we'll be makin' it natural
And ain't it just about time
That stuff I was so keen on
I no longer have to lean on
Cause your love's enough to keep me high
Now if any you heads want some Panama red
All you gotta do is to reach out your hand
I'll trade my stash for just about enough cash
To buy a simple golden wedding band
And we'll be makin' it natural
But don't you ask me how
It's been the cause of all my sorrow
But I think I'll start tomorrow
'Cause I sure could use a hit right now
But I'll throw it out the window, some day
Give away my cocaine
Bust my spikes and flush a million mikes
Of acid right down the drain
And we'll be makin' it natural, makin' it natural...

Monuments
Monuments
They have gone now not a trace left but hazy memories.
Leaves are getting yellow there is no denying fall is here.
I’m the sole survivor standing on a plateau of nothingness
where dust of wasted years, blows in the wind. But it was
the wasted years that brought you here, a voice whispers.
I shall not now climb the Eiffel tower from the outside in
honour of the army of welders; whom are all but forgotten.
The name Eiffel lives on, but the man himself lost his crown
when trying to construct the Panama Canal. This long hall
I must walk so many doors on each side, I will not enter any
of them to see what’s inside, my curiosity is gone I need not
know. My object is to reach the end of the corridor where
I see shadows, perhaps the great man Eiffel is there, if not
I hope they are, the welders of the monument made of Iron.

Sonnet On Famous And Familiar Sonnets And Experiences
(With much help from Robert Good, William Shakespeare,
John Milton, and little Catherine Schwartz)
Shall I compare her to a summer play?
She is too clever, too devious, too subtle, too dark:
Her lies are rare, but then she paves the way
Beyond the summer's sway, within the jejune park
Where all souls' aspiration to true nobility
Obliges Statues in the Frieze of Death
And when this pantomime and Panama of Panorama Fails,
"I'll never speak to you agayne" -- or waste her panting breath.
When I but think of how her years are spent
Deadening that one talent which -- for woman is --
Death or paralysis, denied: nature's intent
That each girl be a mother -- whether or not she is
Or has become a lawful wife or bride
-- 0 Alma Magna Mater, deathless the living death of pride.
