Quotes about pneumonia, page 5
The Widening Spell of the Leaves
--The Carpathian Frontier, October, 1968
--for my brother
Once, in a foreign country, I was suddenly ill.
I was driving south toward a large city famous
For so little it had a replica, in concrete,
In two-thirds scale, of the Arc de Triomphe stuck
In the midst of traffic, & obstructing it.
But the city was hours away, beyond the hills
Shaped like the bodies of sleeping women.
Often I had to slow down for herds of goats
Or cattle milling on those narrow roads, & for
The narrower, lost, stone streets of villages
I passed through. The pains in my stomach had grown
Gradually sharper & more frequent as the day
Wore on, & now a fever had set up house.
In the villages there wasn't much point in asking
Anyone for help. In those places, where tanks
Were bivouacked in shade on their way back
From some routine exercise along

Didja Ever
(words & music by wayne - edwards)
Didja ever
Didja ever get
Didja ever get one
Didja ever get one of them
Didja ever get one of them days, boy
Didja ever get one of them days
When nothin is right from mornin till night
Didja ever get one of them days
Didja ever get one of them days
Ya get up in the morning and turn the shower on
Youre gettin pneumonia, the hot water is gone
Freezin sneezin
You wanna dry your back, a well
Didja ever get one of them days
When theres no towel on the rack
Didja ever
Didja ever get
Didja ever get one
Didja ever get one of them

Baby It's Cold Outside - Duet With Nick Lachey
I really can't stay - Baby it's cold outside
I've got to go away - Baby it's cold outside
This evening has been - Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice - I'll hold your hands they're cold as ice
My mother will start to worry - Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor - Listin to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry - Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well, maybe just one drink more - Put some records on while I pour
The neighbors might think - Baby,it's bad out there
Say, what's in this drink _ No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how - Your eyes are like starlight now
To break the spell - I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir - Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried - What's the use in hurting my pride
I really can't stay - Baby don't hold out
Baby it's cold outside
I simply must go - Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no - Ooh baby, it's cold outside
Your welcome has been - I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm - Look out the window at that storm

I really cant stay
But baby, its cold outside
Ive got to go away
Ah, baby, its cold outside

Been hoping that youd drop in
So very nice
Ill hold your hands, theyre just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, whats your hurry

Listen to that fireplace roar

Oh beautiful, please dont hurry
Maybe just a half a drink more
Why dont you put some records on while I pour
The neighbours might think
Oh baby, its bad out there

It's Cold Out Here
I really can't stay

Medley: Rubber Bullets/silly Love Songs/life Is A Hinestrone
I went to a party at the local county jail
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
But the guys were indiscreet
They were brawling in the street
At the local dance at the local county jail
Well the band were playing
And the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
Sergeant baker got a call from the governor of the county jail
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
I love to hear those convicts squeal
Its a shame these slugs aint real
But we cant have dancin at the local county jail
Sergeant baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail
And for miles around
You could hear the sirens wail
Theres a rumor goin round death row
