“The Thinking Man's Party Band...one of the best violinists I've ever seen."
Victor Bonderoff - The Vancouver Sun

     

Never Drown a Cat


Trust no man, not even your brother
With hair one colour and beard another
Sing while eating, sing in bed
And Death will come and you’ll be dead
No man named George has ever hung
But day by day he’ll step in dung 

 

When little girls wink, you’ll look like that
Knock wood, bite tongue and never drown a cat

 

Hat on bed and hat on table
lovers fight and rock the cradle
Scratch your nose and you’re in danger
you’ll kiss fools and marry strangers
But if your cat is chimney black
lovers, lovers you’ll not lack 

 

CHORUS

 

If a robin you should kill
your right hand will lose all skill
A thousand deaths may pass you by
And all but one by Evil Eye
oh But with spittle on the ground
Evil, evil won’t stay ‘round

 

CHORUS


When You’re Dead
Uncle Bunkle found the rake but good with his head
While retracing all the steps he took to fool death
And Aunty Scrimpy slipped on ice under the Pinto
We drove off and flattened out her mouth full of gold

 

So drink of  blood while you can and drink it hard
Do your life a favor, imitate art
You’ll get plenty of sleep when you’re dead

 

Granny Grumpy dug a money hole deep to save
She fell in and found the hiding place made a better grave
And cousin Spusm washed his hands 49 times a day
Then mowed down by a garbage truck he met with true decay

 

CHORUS

 

Pins and peepholes that’s the stuff of edge and looking down
Death and taxes, at the bottom, now is where it’s found
Stop and smell the, stinky toes of life for full effect
Either way you, end up lying down stiff and erect

 

CHORUS
