This tune was recorded Live at Seabold Community Hall, a little converted church on the island in the Puget Sound where I live. Every month, on the second Saturday, a bunch of us musicians and music lovers gather for an Open Mic, and on this night I recruited some pals to preach a little sermon on the Greatest advance in Western Civilization. Kelly Thompson on kazoo and backing vocals, Jeffrey Moose on percussion. Fred and Tom deserve credit for my twisted sense of humor.

lyrics
Well every night, you’re in my dreams
Every night, peaches and cream
Well every night, you take the cake
With your lead pipe and your 2-inch wide duck tape
First there was fire, and then the wheel
Then rocket ships to outer space
But if you flee from gravity
You’d better take, your 2-inch wide duck tape
Crocodiles in the pond
AMAZON AMAZON
Jagged teeth and mouths agape
Have no fear, you have duck tape, duck tape
He’s a big exec, with a big paycheck
But if he come down here, he better watch his step
They say the water’s cold, out in that lake
Wearing just your birthday suit, and duck tape
Preachers, pimps and heads of state
WATERGATE WATERGATE
Plug those pesky inside leaks
Just a pinch between the cheeks, duck tape
She’s a real nice girl, you take her home
A little conversation, you’re all alone
She has to go, it’s getting late
‘Til you show her your collection of duck tape
How avant garde, what does it say to you?
Sort of like Salvador Dali meets Doctor Seuss
Your inner child is a work of art
But your packaging is my favorite part
Hannibal across the alps
BRUSSEL SPROUTS
BRUSSEL SPROUTS
Pachyderms procrastinate
motivate with duck tape, duck tape
The ozone layer, is getting low
Population, out of control
Both boys and girls, it’s equally effective
That 2-inch wide, low budget contraceptive
London Bridges falling down
BARCALOUNGE, BARCALOUNGE
What made Britain rule the waves?
Buddy that wasn’t masking tape
Grew up in L.A., next door to Rodney King. Foster kid, on welfare, muttsville. Heard John Prine at the Roxy when I was 16,
changed my life. Stumbled into KROQ in the 1980s, got my 15 mins of fame. Moved to the Northwest, found community, then lost them when compassion became their justification for fascism. I'm over humans. These songs feel like phantom limbs. Cats are my gurus now....more
