"SLURF SONG"
MICHAEL HURLEY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZA7OT3Ib5I

 Oh, a little wishbone; I'll make a wish for a potato
Oh, a little wishbone; I'll make a wish for a potato
I'll make a wish!
For a potato!

Pickin' out the fishbones in my perch from Lake Champlain
Pickin' out the fishbones in my perch from Lake Champlain
Woah, those perch!
Woah, those bones!

Cookin' up tortillas; so much fun when you gotta bowl of beans
Cookin' up tortillas; so much fun when you gotta bowl of beans
So much fun!
Boil those beans!

When we make spaghetti everybody gathers 'round and we eat it by the pound
When we make spaghetti everybody gathers 'round and we eat it by the pound
They all gather 'round!
They eat it by the pound!

We fill up our guts, then we turn it into shit, then we get rid of it
We fill up our guts, then we turn it into shit, then we get rid of it
Turn it into shit!
We get rid of it!

 Oh, I see the dishes over there; they fill me with despair
Oh, I see the dishes over there; they fill me with despair
Dishes over there!
They fill me with despair!
 

 "IN THE GARDEN"

 Birds sing songs that
wake the dreamers

from their sorrowful soirée

  crying bye bye sweet fried chicken
and the platter
glides away

In the moonlight, in the moonlight
we don't hear but
water running
down the stream of
all the people
there is no one
ever coming

I lay on my side
I lay on my side
you was laying right beside me
and the stars
they was coming
and blinking
tenderly

Little lightning bugs, 

time and time again
dot and dashing all around us
and a shooting
star come flashing
never making
not a bit of fuss

Sometime we woke and saw
that the moon was gone
from the left side to the right side
and the columns of mist was rising
looked like friends of mine
who have died

In the moonlight, in the moonlight
We don't hear but
Water running
down the stream of
all the people
there is no one
ever coming

 My little woman causes me a whole lot of trouble sometimes
She worries me so bad
I don't know what to do
I take a walk
Figure the rolling of my feet would come to ease my mind
I'll just go away
And I won't know
Where I'm going

And I won't know where
That I am going to
Cause she bugger me
She bugger me
Oh man, she'd bugger you

I'm with you in the morning, baby
'till the break of day
I know you won't take my heart
Tryin' to make me go away
Seems like everybody
Has got a little hard luck, sometime
And I know one thing for sure, baby
I've been having mine

 We had one of them old fleabag apartments
You know the kind I mean
You walk up on the fifth floor there
Sometimes on a sunny day from the roof
You can see them flying kites in Washington Square
I go up on the roof and I watch her hanging up the clothes and I'd say to her:
"Wash the clothes, Sweedeedee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way you wash the clothes
Your cooking must be fine"

I'm with you in the morning, baby
'till the break of day
Well, I know you don't want my heart
Tryin' to make me go away
Seems like everybody
Got a little hard luck sometime
And I know one thing for sure
I've been having mine

I remember that old scumbag coffee shop we used to hang out at
The manager there he'd let us stay without paying a cover
And I was always asking her sometime
We gotta leave the city
And I'd say to her:
"You wash them clothes, Sweedeedee
And hang 'em on the line
And I can see by the way
You wash the clothes
Your cooking must be fine"

 "LIGHT GREEN FELLOW"
MICHAEL HURLEY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9jbiKNVX9I

 I'm going to your house, gonna knock on the door
I'm going to your house, gonna knock on the door
Then you'll see your light green fellow once more

I'm a light green
I'm a light green fellow
Light green, I'm a light green fellow
There ain't nobody know
Your light green fellow

Looking all around, looking for the telephone
Looking all around, looking for the telephone
Thinking of calling you 'cause I know you're alone

Your sheets are green and your light is yellow
Your sheets are green and your light is yellow
Nobody knows your light green fellow

I'm a light green
I'm a light green fellow
Light green, I'm a light green fellow
Ain't nobody know
Your light green fellow

 Looking in the window, but it's so dark I don't see you
Looking in the window, but it's so dark I don't see you
Why don't you light a candle?
Your curtains are drawn, but I'd see through

Looking in the window, but it's so dark I don't see you
Looking in the window, but it's so dark I don't see you
Why don't you light a candle?
Curtains are drawn, but I'd see through

 "THE WEREWOLF"

MICHAEL HURLEY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZ5xNUNGm-c

 

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes a-stepping along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone

You can hear his long holler from away across the moor
That's the holler of a werewolf when he's feeling poor

He goes out in the evening when
The bats are on the wing
And he's killed some young maiden before the birds sing

For the werewolf, for the werewolf
Have sympathy
Because the werewolf he is someone
Just like you and me

Once I saw him in the moonlight
When the bats were a-flying
All alone I saw the werewolf and
The werewolf was crying

Crying, "Nobody, nobody, nobody knows
How much I love the maiden as I tear off her clothes"
Crying, "Nobody, nobody knows of my pain
When I see it has risen that full moon again"

When I see that moon moving
Through the clouds in the sky
I get a crazy feeling and I wonder why

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes traveling along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone

For the werewolf have pity, not fear, and not hate
Because the werewolf might be someone
That you've known of late

Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes traveling along
He don't even crush the leaves
Where he's been gone
