FOOL AROUND - ℗© 2023 Dave Birk
Come on let’s
Fool around, fool around like we used to
Run around, run around
Close down the bars
Then drink in our car
Spin under the shiny stars
Come on let’s
Fool around, fool around like we used to
Run around, run around
Close down the bars
Sneak into Miller Park
Kiss under the waterfall
You
You and your devilish grin
A double dare again
Always pushing the edges of getting caught
I
I think it over and then
Say “Yes!” to trouble again
Against better judgment and all I’ve been taught
Come on let’s
Fool around, fool around like we used to
Run around, run around
Close down the bars
Then drink in our car
Spin under the shiny stars
Come on let’s
Fool around, fool around like we used to
Run around, run around
Close down the bars
Sneak into Miller Park
Kiss under the waterfall
Now
Look at the trouble we’re in
There’s no turning back from this
Awkwardness of friends falling in love
We
Wide-eyed and silently frozen
Then comes your devilish grin
You pull me in, smashing my lips into yours
You got me hanging on for dear life and holding my breath
What crazy adventure are you dreamin’ up next
Break me outta my box, inhibitions shoved aside
Jump into my car and say, “Shut up and drive!”
Come on let’s
Fool around, fool around like we used to
Run around, run around
Close out the bars
Then drink in my car
Kiss under the shiny stars
Come on let’s
Fool around, fool around like we used to
Run around, run around
Close down the bars
Sneak into Miller Park
Kiss under the waterfall
Close down the bars
Sneak into Miller Park
Kiss under the waterfall
Come on let’s fool around, fool around

SUZI - ℗© 2023 Dave Birk
[uno, dos, quatro]
[5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 all engines running - lift off, we have a lift off]
Flipping through my high school yearbook
Those were the good, good times
I had forgotten the note you wrote me
Next to your photo on page thirty-nine
[the eagle has landed]
Now I’m feeling super-nostalgic
Remembering how I tried to make you mine
Bourbon’s giving me new courage
I’m looking up your number online
CHORUS
Oh, Suzi (oh, Suzi), I know what you’re thinking (I know what you’re thinking)
Oh yeah, I, I went to Harlem, you went to Lincoln, it’s true
Suzi (oh, Suzi) I doubt that you’re happy (I doubt that you’re happy)
If we went back, way back in time
Would you choose me, Suzi choose me
VERSE 2
Do you still flip your hair back
Right before you smile
I heard you married your college sweetheart
But that it only lasted a little while
Somedays I think about you
Maybe the timing’s right
Or is it just a broken dream
That will never, ever see the light
Oh, Suzi (oh, Suzi), I know what you’re thinking (I know what you’re thinking)
Oh yeah, I, I went to Harlem, you went to Lincoln, it’s true
Suzi (oh, Suzi) I doubt that you’re happy (I doubt that you’re happy)
If we went back, way back in time
If we went back, way back in time
Can we go back, way back in time
oooo oooo oooo oooo ooooo
Would you choose me, Suzi choose me

Dancing All Alone - ℗© 2023 Dave Birk
Ramones are rockin' on the stereo
It's midnight in this empty old house
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Look in through the window
You can see me jumping off the sofas and the chairs
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on
uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
I'm a special kind of crazy
Ever since she left me I-I-I don't really care
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing alone with the lights on, baby
Never see the sunrise
I collapse on the floor around 4am
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on
uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on
Dancing all alone with the lights on
Oh whoa, whoa ho
I wake up she's still gone
When midnight comes I'll dance it all again
Dancing all alone with the lights on, baby
Dancing all alone with the lights on
uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh uh
uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

MICHAEL JACKSON IS NOT DEAD - ℗© 2023 Dave Birk
Michael Jackson is not dead, he's merely sleeping
I wonder if he's having some nice dreams (yeah-e-yeah)
In the next room John Lennon's tea is gently steeping
I wonder what happens when the two finally meet
Have they been knockin’ on the walls
who-who-who-who really knows anyway
who-who-who-who really can say-ay-ay-ay
who-who-who-who really knows anyway
I saw Elvis in the flesh one certain Friday
At a payphone in a small suburban town (yeah-e-yeah)
I wonder who he was calling and if they hung up
Did they think it was some punk kid just foolin’ around
If they listened he’d be home by now
who-who-who-who really knows anyway
who-who-who-who really can say-ay-ay-ay
who-who-who-who really knows anyway
Maybe it's not true
Maybe it's all made up in my head
Maybe I'm just hoping for some miraculous discovery
Michael Jackson is not dead, he's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He's merely sleeping
He’s sleeping

I DON"T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU, BABY - ℗© 2023 Dave Birk
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
You say, you say you gotta go
I say, I say, no, no, no, no, no
I can’t imagine my – life without you around
It’s not that I am insecure
It’s just, well I, think we’ve got a lot
You know, in common, wouldn’t you agree?
You’re wearing my favorite red sweater
And I swear, girl, you’ve never looked better
You’re a fire starter
Playing with my heart
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
Airplanes streak out across the blue
I know one day soon that will be you
And then I’ll fade like a ghost right out of your mind
I’m a hamster up on a wheel
Squeaking along watching your star shine
Choking on the dust you’ve left be – hind
Even now you set me reeling
Tripping all over my words with my feelings
You’re a Queen in my eyes
I’m a joker in disguise
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
Remember that time at the movies
The manager asked us to leave
‘cause we could not stop laughing
when you spilled the popcorn
at the saddest part
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
I don’t want to live without you, Baby, Baby
(you say, you say you gotta go)

Head Cold

HEAD COLD - ℗© 2023 Dave Birk
I should be on that beach
Strollin’ along
Picking up shells
Humming a happy song
But I’m laid up with a head cold
Well, it coulda been worse
Like COVID-19
Or double-pneumonia
With a case of broken dreams
I’m just laid up with a head cold
I’m laid up with a head cold
What good is stealing away
To escape those frigid winter days
When I’m stuck inside anyway
Feeling sorry for myself
Feeling sorry for myself
I should be staying out late
At a tiki bar
Coconut rum
And Jimmy Buffett songs
But I’m laid up with a head cold
Yeah, I’m laid up with a head cold
What good is stealing away
To escape those frigid winter days
When I’m stuck inside anyway
Feeling sorry for myself
Feeling sorry for myself
I’m laid up with a head cold (snuggled up to a Kleenex box)
I’m laid up with a head cold (80 degrees and I’m wearing wool socks)
I’m laid up with a head cold
