Be The Friend
Be the friend who won't be swayed,
Be the friend they can't persuade,
Be the friend who just says no,
And tells the pushers where to go.
Be the friend who's standing firm,
The one to whom the others turn,
When they want to learn the way,
Of saying no to booze each day.
Be the friend who'll just refuse,
To ever drink a drop of booze.
Be the one who's walking tall,
Who will not compromise at all.
Be the one who's unafraid,
To sip on milk or lemonade,
Who doesn't care if they belong,
Whose will is iron, and twice as...

The Drink That Makes Your Muscles Shrink
There is no alcoholic drink,
That doesn't make your muscles shrink,
Who'd want a drink that makes you weak,
That's just no good for your physique,
And stops you living at your peak?
Who'd want a drink that leaves you limp,
And makes you flaccid as a shrimp?
I think I'll pour it down the sink,
There're many better things to drink.
That doesn't make your muscles shrink,

There're many better things to drink.

Give It To Me Straight
If you love me, tell me now it's real,
If you love me tell me how you feel,
Will you show me so I know it's true?
If you want me let me know the deal.
Why do you like to hesitate,
And make me wait to find my fate?
I'm a fella who likes it elementary,
Just give it to me straight.
If you love me make it clearer
Don't act shyly please be nearer,
Why keep me guessing just say yes,
Tell me now there's no one dearer.
If you love me come on over here,
Why not whisper in my ear?
Make it plainer, please...
If you love me tell me how you feel,

Our Love Will Go On and On, And On
When all the suns have come and gone,
And cease to shine their cosmic rays,
When all their fires have long expired,
And there won't be any more days,
Our love will still go on, and on,
And on, forever, endlessly.
You can depend, it will not end,
But will endure relentlessly.
For you and me infinity
Will merely be a second,
We will be friends beyond the time
That time itself is reckoned.
For you and me were meant to be,
And meant to be eternally.
And cease to shine their cosmic rays,
When all their fires have long expired,
And there won't be any more days,
Our love will still go on, and on,
And on, forever, endlessly.
You can depend, it will not end,
But will endure relentlessly.
For you and me infinity
Will merely be a second,
We will be friends beyond the time
That time itself is reckoned.
For you and me were meant to be,
And meant to be eternally.

Making A Killing
Hey Big Booze, don't run away,
How many did you kill today?
Perhaps ten thousand, maybe more,
Just like you did the day before?
Selling poison to the kids,
Telling lies and spreading fibs,
Killing people night and day,
Spreading misery every way,
Making every problem worse,
Putting people in a hearse,
Killing people in a crash,
Just so you can have more cash,
But in the end you're gonna lose.
We're gonna boycott all your booze,
So you can watch your profits shrink,
We just don't need your rotten drink.
How many did you kill today?

Putting people in a hearse,
Killing people in a crash,
Just so you can have more cash,
But in the end you're gonna lose.

So you can watch your profits shrink,
We just don't need your rotten drink.

Why I Love You
I do not love you for your face,
Though it is very pretty,
I do not love you for your brain,
Though you are rather witty.
I do not love you for your wealth,
Though you are rich and I am poor,
And as for all the things you do,
They're not the things I love you for.
My love for you is wholly due,
To all the ways that you are you.
Though it is very pretty,
I do not love you for your brain,
Though you are rather witty.
I do not love you for your wealth,
Though you are rich and I am poor,
And as for all the things you do,
They're not the things I love you for.
My love for you is wholly due,
To all the ways that you are you.

I Refuse To Choose To Use Booze
Almost since when I was born,
I've hated booze of any form.
I'm staying true to me, not booze,
I'm free to choose, and I refuse,
To use a drug as dumb as booze.
Who cares what other people think?
Our lives are worth too much to drink.
I will not do what I think's wrong,
Just to feel like I belong.
I've hated booze of any form.
I'm staying true to me, not booze,
I'm free to choose, and I refuse,
To use a drug as dumb as booze.
Who cares what other people think?
Our lives are worth too much to drink.
I will not do what I think's wrong,
Just to feel like I belong.

Hey Big Booze This Poem's For You
Hey Big Booze this poem's for you,
Just look at all the harm you do,
The old, the young, and children too,
Are underground because of you.
You kill so many people who,
Would otherwise be live and well,
I'm telling you to go to hell,
And take the rotten booze you sell.
You know damn well it's not okay,
To murder thousands every day.
We know you like to earn your fees,
By causing cancers and disease,
But you're not gonna get away,
We're really gonna make you pay.
There will be lawyers suing you,
They're gonna beat...
Just look at all the harm you do,

Empty Places At the Table
There was no warning on the label,
About the places at the table,
Forever empty because of booze,
There was no hint of lives we lose,
No word about those booze has killed,
Whose dreams will never be fulfilled.
Nothing to warn of its effects:
Like child abuse and birth defects,
The beaten wives, and birthdays missed,
The ruined lives, and lips not kissed.
Empty beds no longer slept in,
Shelves where unused things are kept in,
The many funerals to attend,
And sunny days without a friend.
The lies that alcoholics tell,
And...
About the places at the table,
Forever empty because of booze,
There was no hint of lives we lose,

And sunny days without a friend.

One Drink Too Many
Her life was going great,
She was a sporting star,
Her grades were all first-rate.
Then she got in her car,
When leaving from a bar.
She’d only had one drink,
Much stronger than she knew,
And didn’t stop to think,
What just one drink can do,
What sadness could ensue.
She took a turn too fast,
And slammed into a truck.
That night became her last,
It wasn’t just bad luck -
One drink brought her unstuck.
Bystanders did their best,
To get her heart to beat,
They pounded on her chest,
But met complete...

Love
Love is doing what you ought to,
Love can let you walk on water.
Love won’t leave you on your own,
‘Cause when you love you aren’t alone.
Love can make a load seem lighter,
Love can make your soul be whiter.
Love is the bread of life to eat,
To love is washing others’ feet.
Love is what makes the gardens grow,
Love is what makes the breezes blow,
To love is praying in some way,
And love is why we’ll be okay.
Love can let you walk on water.
Love won’t leave you on your own,
‘Cause when you love you aren’t alone.
Love can make a load seem lighter,
Love can make your soul be whiter.
Love is the bread of life to eat,
To love is washing others’ feet.
Love is what makes the gardens grow,
Love is what makes the breezes blow,
To love is praying in some way,
And love is why we’ll be okay.

Trials the Truth has Undergone
Many are the trials the truth has doubtless undergone,
In books so thick they're big enough to tumble over on.
If there really was a story maybe it would make us smile,
Just to cheer us as we wander in the tempest for a while.
Though it's childish play to find a flaw in nearly every line,
Perhaps within the wayward verse is some reason if not rhyme.
And there maybe even looms within the tangled tapestry,
One big prophetic parable no prophet could foresee.
Arrows pointing differently can still point in one direction,
Where very different points of view may...
