Benji, would love to play guitar,
He don’t have a penny in his jar
Maybe, he’d move to Montreal
Become – A – Superstar…
He’s got a, patch on his left eye,
From sleeping on the bench, in the parks at night
Surprisingly, he’s made it all this far
He won’t stop, without a fight
He’s howling, at the moon
He don’t care who is listening,
He’s howling, at the moon,
Maybe, somebody might answer him
Brown paper bag,
Filled with what he owns
He’s never been the type to have a home,
Keeps it close, a notepad in his jacket
Songs hidden, nobody believes in
Shadow on the wall, of every street
He’s always had to beg for something to eat
It’s nothing new to him, the people are judging
It’s clear, they cannot see
He’s howling, at the moon
He don’t care who is listening,
He’s howling, at the moon,
Maybe, somebody might answer him
“Oooh- Ohhh- Ouhhh-Ouhhh” X2
Benji – You don’t know what’s coming
Imagine – Better just keep dreaming
Benji – You don’t know what’s coming
Imagine- Better just keep dreaming !!! ( HEY!)
He’s howling, at the moon
He don’t care who is listening,
He’s howling! –
“Ouhh- Ouhh - Ouuuuhhh – He’s howling!
Ouuu-ouhhh – Ouuuuhhh- He’s howling!
He’s howling at the moon,
Maybe somebody might answer him
Benji, would love to play guitar
He don’t have a penny in his jar
Maybe, he’d move to Montreal
Become – A – Supertar…

Grab a paddle, bring the Kayak
Feel like going down to the river
Think I’ve got a few friends I could call
If you have a few you’d like to call
Forget the sunscreen let’s go bathing in the raw
No such thing as SPF-45
It’s marketing for your eyes
Ouh Hey! to the summertime
Kids are playing all through the night
Wheels turning, the music is turned up way to high
In the summertime
Ouh! Hey!
Watermelon, M&M’s – That’s all we packed inside our lunch
All my friends they sure like to talk
It’s a perfect day for a picnic in the park
Sure could use just a little more free time
Won’t find it, watching the morning news,
It’s only there to fool you
Ouh Hey! to the summertime
Kids are playing all through the night
Wheels spinning, the music is turned up way to high
In the summertime
Ouh Hey!
“”Forget the words written on the wall
Telling you, you’re too small
I see glitter, falling from the sky
Helium balloons, passing by
In the summertime””
(Chorus) X2

Friend Song

I’m bored at home, sitting alone
Figure, I’d try to write you a song
I’m sure you’ve heard, most of these lines –
I’ll try not to copy, too many rhythms
“Doo-Doo-do-do-do-do
Doo-Doo-Dooo-do-do”
I know these three chords, I can play them pretty well
You’ve got the beat to play the spoons
Will write a couple hits and make it real big
Tour around, get paid for our gigs.
“Doo-Doo-do-do-do-do
Doo-Doo-Dooo-do-do”
I’ll pick you up, a quarter-after-eight,
Pack up my car, will head on straight
To the nearest station, to the nearest bar
Order me a gin, we’re not to far
“Doo-Doo-do-do-do-do
Doo-Doo-Dooo-do-do”
I like to dream, while I’m asleep
I also do, when I’m awake
Thinking of you, it's just like a dance
We’re lucky enough, don't need a good chance
“Doo-Doo-do-do-do-do
Doo-Doo-Dooo-do-do”
Will drive down to the shore, of the nearest coast
Gamble two rings from the market folks,
“GET OUT OF BED!” – I can hear my mother yell
I’ve talked to soon, guess time will tell
Boy, you must be tired of hearing me sing,
Of such idealistic and foolish things
Life is a mystery, not to wonder
Or you’ll wind up stuck, with your head in the gutter
“Doo-Doo-do-do-do-do
Doo-Doo-Dooo-do-do”
“Doo-Doo-do-do-do-do
Doo-Doo-Dooo-do-do”
See, I’m bored at home, sitting alone
Figure, I’d write you a song
I’m sure you’ve heard, most of these lines –
I tried not to copy, too many rhythms

Rain Song

Got a book, and a pen
Write things down as I see them
See a bird, in the sky
Watch the clouds, passing by
Got a feeling, in my knees
A storm is coming through town
Hear the wind, through the leaves
I know, it won’t be long
The rain will trickle down
The rain will come on down
The rain will come on down
Wash away, all of me
Give it all, Give it all
To you
See a spider, in its web,
Drawing a masterpiece
What’s to come, is unknown
Just hoping for something to eat
He looks to the stars, wishes upon,
Curiosity
There’s more to what he sees,
He knows it won’t be long
The rain will trickle down
The rain will come on down
The rain will come on down
Wash away, all of this
Give it all, Give it all
To you
Stoke the fire, you keep inside
The flames do burn low
Feed it more, give it less
See how it will go
You take from me, I take from you
A cycle that will not flow
I know it won’t be long
The rain will trickle down
The rain will come on down
The rain will come on down
Wash away, all of this
Give it all, Give it all
To you
Give it all, Give it all
To you
