Serious World
©2001 P. Rogers
Tomorrow morning I might get myself together
Tomorrow night I might be sleeping with the fish
Either way, what's done is done
I can't change a thing
Hope it's the last time that I hear the fat lady sing
Out of my league
I guess I see
It's over now
Out of my mind
back on the grind
Well, nevermind.........
But where do you go for kicks...in a Serious world?
What do you do for laughs.....in a Serious World?
I try to be a sensible guy, but I'm coming off a beautiful high
and I feel like a clown going down in a Serious World.
Wasn't I the genius screaming less is never, never more?
Isn't that my easy chair being carried out the door?
Never thought I'd see my blessings turned into a curse
Always thought I'd always be the Master of my Universe.
Out of the blue
Way overdue
I'm crashing down
Up with the birds
Back in the herd
I'm holding ground.
But where do you go for kicks...In a Serious world?
What do you do for laughs.....in a Serious World?
I try to be a sensible guy, but I'm coming off a beautiful high
and I feel like a clown going down in a Serious World.

Mr. Slagle's Revenge
© 2001 P. Rogers
Mr. Slagle was a teacher, he was my shop teacher
and I always did my best to make his life a living hell
Always late for the bell
I was just a class clown and I never paid attention
Everytime I turned around I was headed for detention
Oh Yeah..Mr. Know It All
Now I'm crawling under houses with a pouch on my hips
I've got blisters on my fingers and a curse on my lips
Everytime I hit my head I hear him laughing
It's Mr. Slagle's Revenge!
Mr. Slagle's... Revenge!
Mr. Slagle (I'm so sorry)
Oh Yeah.
He wore coke bottle glasses and he wasn't very tall
and I used to imitate him when he walked down the hall
HA HA! (Ha Ha) Oh yeah, anything for a laugh
He tried to show me how to hammer
He tried to show me how to saw
But I only planned to use my hands for counting money
Very Funny.
Now my hands are shaking and I'm hanging by a thread
My body's aching and I'm feeling half dead
When I close my eyes at night I see him laughing
It's Mr. Slagle's Revenge!
Mr. Slagle's.. Revenge!
Mr. Slagle (I'm so sorry)
Oh Yeah
It feels like I'm living under your curse
The years go by and it just gets worse
Won't you please let me go, Won't you please set me free
I know you're haunting me
It's Mr. Slagle's Revenge!
Mr. Slagle's... Revenge!
Mr. Slagle (I'm so sorry)
It's Mr. Slagle's Revenge!
Mr. Slagle's... Revenge!
Mr. Slagle (I'm so sorry)

Enter The Douse!
©2000 P. Rogers
She blows in through an open door
Like an evil mist off a brackish moor
Drives a stake in the conversation
Speaks her mind without cessation
A cloud of darkness above her head
Forms a halo of fear and dread
Enter The Douse!
Enter The Douse!
Like water on a dancing flame
She falls on you like acid rain
Songs and laughter disappear
Her wretched voice is all you hear
Conjured from some coven's kettle
Like claws upon a sheet of metal
Enter The Douse!
Enter The Douse!
The douse is in the house
The douse is in the house
Clouding up a sunny room
‘ere she goes, so goes the gloom
Now mirth and joy evaporate
Your happy face disintegrates
Clenched and coiled, like a raptor
It's your laughter that's she's after
Enter The Douse!
Enter The Douse!
The douse is in the house
The douse is in the house

Meaning of Life Polka
© 2000 P. Rogers
I woke up with a notion to let the world go by
Went out for a doughnut and some joe
Stared into my cup, like a fella in a rut
And thought about the good times long ago
So I sat there for a while
with a powdered sugar smile
and wondered if the waitress was a dancer
With a Nam yeah ring keah keo (sp?)
and a couple of HoHoHo's
We set off down the road to find the answer.
What is the Meaning of Life?
Did you ever stop to ponder that question in your head?
What is the Meaning of Life?
It's just gettin' up and doing stuff and going back to bed.
We came upon a garden path
with roses all abloom
and a little bench with old folks congregatin'
They seemed to me most wise so I asked them for advice
They said "Life is mostly hurryin' up and waiting".
So we ran out to the streets
With wings upon our feet
and wondered if we'd ever stand a chance here
With a Nam yeah ring keah keo (sp?)
and a couple more HoHoHo's
What is the Meaning of Life?
Did you ever stop to ponder that question in your head?
What is the Meaning of Life?
It's just gettin' up and doing stuff and going back to bed.
Stopped in at a bar
for a burger and a beer
Overheard a funny conversation
A comet in the sky would soon be passing by
So we hurried off to make a reservation
But the price was much too dear
So we're stuck down here
Any other wish I'd surely grant her
She said "Would it be alright
If stayed with you tonight?"
So we ran off down the road to find the answer
What is the Meaning of Life?
Did you ever look out yonder and scratch upon your head?
What is the Meaning of Life?
It's just gettin' up and doing stuff and going back to bed.
