It’s Not Easy Being a Kid Gary Rasberry It’s not easy being a kid Everybody telling you not to do what they did Everybody telling you not to do what they did It’s not easy being a kid My dad said when he was a kid he did some bad stuff Stole some gum lied to his mom and acted real tough Broke some rules stole some tools set fire to the shed Thought he’d be cool around the school got grounded instead Don’t do what HE did Don’t do what HE did Don’t get in all that trouble Don’t do what HE did My aunt said “I should be dead!” when she fell from that tree She climbed too high poked her eye got stung by a bee It was almost dark when she reached the park and started to climb She knew all along she was doing wrong but she didn’t mind Don’t do what SHE did Don’t do what SHE did Don’t get in all that trouble Don’t do what SHE did But how are we supposed to learn?! It’s only fair we get our turn To get into trouble of our own With our friends or all alone We want to get in trouble too—we really really really do To know what’s right but do what’s wrong And worry our parents all night long My mom told me she took the car when she was 15 She didn’t have her license if you know what I mean Quick as a mouse snuck out of house and drove to the store Didn’t get very far ‘cuz she smashed the car into the front door Don’t do what SHE did Don’t do what SHE did Don’t get in all that trouble Don’t do what SHE did My brother told me a story from his earlier days He was only 8 when he climbed the gate and wandered away Our parents thought he was sleeping all snug in his bed But he was watching TV at the neighbours instead Don’t do what HE did Don’t do what HE did Don’t get in all that trouble Don’t do what HE did It’s not easy being a kid Everybody telling you not to do what they did Everybody telling you not to do what they did It’s not easy being a kid Don’t do what WE did Don’t do what WE did Don’t get in all that trouble Don’t do what WE did Don’t do what WE did Don’t do what WE did Don’t get in all that trouble Don’t get in all the trouble Don’t do what WE did Don’t do what WE did Don’t do what WE—did!

Don’t Wait Until Tomorrow Gary Rasberry Dave Clark Don’t wait until tomorrow don’t wait until next week Don’t wait until the perfect time to take a little peek Don’t wait another moment, don’t wait another day Just wait until your Dad get’s home— That’s what your Mom might say Don’t wait until the rain stops before you start to play Don’t wait until you’re really sure that everything’s OK Don’t wait until tomorrow if you’re sure today Just wait until your Mom gets home— That’s what your Dad might say Why wait friends? When you could do it now! Why wait friends? Don’t need to show you how Why wait friends? When you could do it now!

It’s time to show some style Why wait friends? You’ve been doing it all the while Why wait friends? To show us your great smile? Shed a tear, laugh out loud and do it all in style If a cloud comes sailing by don’t worry your mind Don’t let it rain on your parade Let’s have a good time Let’s sing a song all day long let’s dance in the breeze Let’s run and laugh in the waving grass and beautiful trees …

The Very Next Day You may have heard the story of the Cat Came Back About a feral feline who lived out in a shack He seemed to live a quiet life, basking in the sun Little did he know that his life had just begun He had dreams of being on the stage, loving every gig Sure enough as time went by the Cat would make it big Then he became reclusive, very little would he say But Rumour had it he’d come back the very next day The very next day. The very next day. We heard it might happen the very next day. So they threw a great big party—you know what I mean Animals of every shape and size would make the scene Like a movie or a musical playing on Broadway There was meowing, barking, howling from pedigree to stray The Cat Came Back – the rumours were all true He slid out of the limo, grinning right on cue Glowing like a Persian Prince, whiskers to his toes He wore a white tuxedo, with a single red rose Suddenly a cloud of smoke…a brilliant flash of light The Cat simply disappeared, vanished in the night Maybe this is what he planned his whole life long His name is now a legend every time we sing the song The very next day. The very next day. We heard it might happen the very next day. X2 Fred was there at the beginning, of that you can be sure Now The song and the story forever will endure Every single one of us can make a dream come true The Cat will keep on coming back, coming back to you
