lyrics

A football game at the beach on Sunday
A pick up match with a couple of brothers
Old guitars and a bottle of boonsfarm
Like Cary grant and like Louis Armstrong
Juicing seven day fasts cappucinnos
Marlboro reds and a shot of ameretto
In my morning cup of coffee served to me by my baby
In her silk pajamas tres belle she’s so pretty
2 quarts a day I’m the soda pop king
I know I shouldn’t but its just my thing
Mountain dew Dr pepper sometimes coca cola
Old Beatles records on my mother’s victrola
Duke Ellington count Basie the bird
Cab Calloway’s the thing you ever heard of him
Like Archie Shepp, sun ra, and Robert Johnson
Like all the chicks that be checking out my Johnson
Word to the mu-u-tha

Life
We can change the world
Can be
Start your protesting
So nice
The ascensions already started
You’ll see
Lets stop the suffering
Tres cool, tres cool, tres cool….

Like Rick the animal Mazzi on the [beat] drum
Sister moon and sister sunshine singing on
Me I’m the man behind the microphone
Jorge is making love to that bass-he’s a smooth one
Mojo bags with herbs and gem stones
Mushroom tripping grateful dead smoking kryps here’s a tip never drop too much if you think your head will flip
All the pop rock stars I pay homage for my growing
Like peter Gabriel sting and David Bowie
RemTVU2PBStpfunkare and zz
Top that is
b-bop, hip hop,
supporting charities you trust and trying to stop
the powers that be from their monopoly
going corporate’s cool
if you can keep it in reality

Life
We can change the world
Can be
Start your protesting
So nice
The ascensions already started
You’ll see
Lets stop the suffering
Tres cool, tres cool, tres cool….

Laptops MTV and my cellular
Deep bass ale swimming holes my day runner–Tres cool
Hiking, biking, horseback riding
Cliff diving mountain climbing, tres cool
All that jazz and apocalypse now
Like woody Allen and going down on my baby, tres cool
Deniro, Pacino, eraser head and Oldman
Like an honest cop if you can find one, tres cool
Prince richard gere in breathless George bem umbertto Tozzi, tres cool
Lou reed Queen and Bob Marley
Scarface glassworks and IMAX movies
Oliver stone [star wars] and Ghandi
Mint chocolate chip ice cream and drinking slurpees
Coppolla, Wenders and Martin Scorcese
Jim Morrison Cypress Hill and the Beasties
Sinatra was the COB, and MJ thinks he’s the KOP.

You can marry his daughter or try to shake your pelvis, but there’s only one king my friend and that was Elvis
