I don’t care if it rains or freezes,
As long as I got my plastic Jesus
Sittin’ on the dashboard of my car.
Comes in colors pink and pleasant,
Glows in the dark cause He’s iridescent
Take Him with you when you travel far
Plastic Jesus – original (1962) version by The Goldcoast Singers
(‘Cool Hand Luke’ version, above) – Paul Newman

What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
You just call out my name
And you know, wherever I am
I’ll come runnin’
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend
Carole King/James Taylor
You’ve got a friend in me
You’ve got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you’re miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you’ve got a friend in me
Yeah, you’ve got a friend in me
Randy Newman – Friend In Me
If you’re ever in a jam, here I am.
If you’re ever in a mess, S.O.S.
If you’re so happy, you land in jail. I’m your bail.
It’s friendship, friendship, just a perfect blendship.
I had a friend named Bill Campbell he used to rob steal and gamble
And on the side he’d beg so he mopped up
I told him he shouldn’t do it and Campbell told me he knew it
So he started beggin’ with a bucket instead of a cup
He’s in the jailhouse now (he’s in the jailhouse now)
He’s in the jailhouse now (he’s in the jailhouse now)
Well Campbell fluffed his dove when he wore a tuxedo to the country club
He’s in the jailhouse now (he’s in the jailhouse now)
IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW Johnny Cash
They arrested me and put me in jail.
They called my pappy to throw my bail.
And he said son you’re gonna drive me to drinking
If you don’t quit driving that Hot Rod Lincoln
So, here we are in the Tijuana jail.
Ain’t got no friends to go our bail
So, here we’ll stay 'cause we can’t pay.
Just send our mail to the Tijuana jail
If you’re down in Acuna
And you ain’t up to being alone
Don’t spend all your money
On just any honey that’s grown
Go find the Mexican blackbird
And send all your troubles back home.
All through the winter you just hang around
Now your going back home
Blackbird, blackbird gotta be on your way
Where there’s sunshine galore
Pack up all my cares and woes
Here i go, singing low
Bye, bye, blackbird
Bluebird came to me tonight
Waiting patiently for light
She said I know that you will grieve
But my darlin’ I must leave
(“Bluebird is Dead,” Electric Light Orchestra)
Mr. Bluebird on my shoulder
It’s the truth, It’s actch’ll [sic]
Everything is satisfactch’ll [sic]
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day.
-“BB”-
Oh, my baby, she’s alright
Oh, my baby’s clean out of sight
Don’t you know that she’s?
She’s some kind of wonderful
She’s some kind of wonderful
Yes, she is, she is
She’s some kind of wonderful
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Grand Funk Railroad
Wunderbar, Wunderbar!
What a perfect night for love.
Here am I, there you are,
Why, it’s truly wunderbar!
May I make my fond excuses for the lateness of the hour,
but we accept your invitation, and we bring you Beltane’s flower.
For the May Day is the great day, sung along the old straight track.
And those who ancient lines did lay will heed the song that calls them back.
Pass the word and pass the lady, pass the plate to all who hunger.
Pass the wit of ancient wisdom, pass the cup of crimson wonder.
Cup of Wonder : Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull
I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it’s cold outside
I’ve got the month of May
I guess you’d say
What can make me feel this way
My girl, my girl, my girl
Talkin’ 'bout my girl
My girl
That’s life, that’s what people say,
You’re riding high in April – Shot down in May.
But I know I’m gonna change that tune,
When I’m back on top, back on top in June.
That’s Life – Ol’ Blue Eyes (Frank Sinatra)
-“BB”-
Oh, it’s a long long while
From May to December
But the days grow short
When you reach September
When the autumn weather
Turns leaves to flame
One hasn’t got time
For the waiting game
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends
See you in September
See you when the summer’s through
Here we are (bye, baby, goodbye)
Saying goodbye at the station (bye, baby, goodbye)
Summer vacation (bye, baby bye, baby)
Is taking you away (bye, baby, goodbye)
