Look around  
Leaves are brown  
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter  
Hear the Salvation Army band  
Down by the riverside  
There’s bound to be a better ride  
Than what you’ve got planned  
Carry a cup in your hand

And the sky is gray (and the sky is gray)  
I’ve been for a walk (I’ve been for a walk)  
On a winter’s day (on a winter’s day)

We’ll melt your popsicle

So when you hear the bell go _‘ding-a-ling’_,  
That’s the Popsicle Man and he’s the goody king.  
Save Popsicle wrappers and before long,  
You’ll win a phonograph to play this record on.

Popsicle – _Jan and Dean_

You’ve got to remain to bein’ yourself…you cannot be  
Nobody else, it ain’t no use tryin’ bein’ no whirlwind  
An’ uh, jumpin’ here an’ an’ playin’ checkers with  
Your own life, that ain’t gonna work, baby…  
Now repeat these words behind me:  
“I am what I am”…now that`s all you are…

Yam and I yam what I  
Yam and that’s all that I yam  
'cause I yam what I yam  
And I gots a lot of muskle  
And I only gots one eye  
And I never hurts nobodys and  
I’ll never tell a lie  
Tops to me bottoms and me bottoms to me top  
And that’s the way it is 'till  
The day that I drop what am I?  
I yam what I yam!

There’s a chance that you might

I know a girl who thinks of ghosts  
She’ll make you breakfast, she’ll make you toast  
But she don’t use butter, and she don’t use cheese  
She don’t use jelly, or any of these  
She uses Vasoline
