IGNORE THIS SONG
John Soeder
© 2010
Who am I
To offer you advice
And who am I
To tell you how to live your life
Yeah I could say
You should seize the day
But I’m sure you know that
Anyway
So I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you
Ignore this song
What do I know
About the vagaries of love
And what do I know
About the stars above
This is not
The time or place
To enlighten
The human race
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you
Ignore this song
The secret of life
Is not mine to share
But I have a hunch
It doesn’t rhyme
Who am I
To offer you advice
And who am I
To tell you how to live your life
You know the drill
When the going gets tough
Do unto others
And all that stuff
But I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you
Ignore this song
Please
I beg you, I beg you, I beg you, I beg you
Ignore this song

SINGING AVE MARIA
John Soeder
© 2010
I’ve roamed this world from east to west
Another Saturday night in my Sunday best
I love the onomatopoeia
Singing Ave Maria
Singing Ave Maria
Wise men have come here from afar
Led by the light of a neon star
Someone outside a pizzeria
Is singing Ave Maria
Singing Ave Maria
Come on you cherubim
Sing out you seraphim
Let’s hear a hymn about Maria
Swing low sweet chariot
You ain’t heard nothing yet
Salve Regina
Come on you cherubim
Sing out you seraphim
Let’s hear the one about Maria
Swing low sweet chariot
You ain’t heard nothing yet
Salve Regina
At Christmastime a cold wind blows
A mother holds her baby close
Silent night fever
Angels on high
Angels on high
Angels on high
Singing Ave Maria

I’M A BALLOON
John Soeder
© 2010
I’m a balloon
Let me go
I can’t stay here anymore
Wave goodbye
As I float into the sky
I’m a balloon
Let me go
Ain’t no life for me down here
I’d best be on my way up there
If I stay
I’ll only fade away
I’m a balloon
Let me go
Oooh
Nobody knows my name
But they’re glad I came
This world is not my home
This world is not my home
Oooh
Nobody knows my name
But they’re glad I came
This world is not my home
This world is not my home
I can see for miles up here
All the problems disappear
It’s a beautiful view
Everything looks brand new
And I see you
Oooh
Nobody knows my name
But they’re glad I came
This world is not my home
This world is not my home
Oooh
Nobody knows my name
But they’re glad I came
This world is not my home
This world is not my home
I’m a balloon
I’m a balloon
I’m a balloon
Let me go
I can’t stay here anymore
Wave goodbye
As I float into the sky
Hold me in your heart
And let me go
Oooh
Nobody knows my name
But they’re glad I came
This world is not my home
This world is not my home
Oooh
Nobody knows my name
But they’re glad I came
This world is not my home
This world is not my home

TELL ’EM I SAID HELLO
John Soeder
© 2010
I knew a boy
Looked kinda like me
He laughed a lot
He was carefree
Now it’s been too long
Where did he go
If you see him
Tell him I said hello
I knew a girl
Looked just like you
There was nothing in the world
She could not do
It’s been awhile now
Where did she go
If you see her
Tell her I said hello
All together on the count of three
We gotta solve a mystery
What became of you and me
What became of you and me
One more time on the count of three
We gotta solve a mystery
Things ain’t what they used to be
Whatever happened to you and me
I knew this boy
I knew this girl
They made each other laugh
Not a care in the world
Kinda like us
A long time ago
If you see ’em
Tell ’em I said hello
Yeah if you see ’em
Tell ’em I said hello

WHO’S GONNA BUY YOUR PRETTY THINGS
John Soeder
© 2010
I got lots of money
I got lots of time
Before you walk out you better think twice
If you leave me
Who’s gonna buy your pretty things
I got lots of money
I got lots of time
Before you walk out you better think twice
If you leave me
Who’s gonna buy your pretty things
You keep telling me
You’re gonna make it on your own
But where you gonna get your sugar sugar
If your sugar daddy’s gone
I know why
The caged bird sings
I’ll getcha diamonds
I’ll getcha pearls
Make you the envy of all the other girls
If you leave me
Who’s gonna buy your pretty things
Believe me honey
I know exactly how you feel
Money can’t buy you happiness
But I’m sure we can make a deal
I know why
The caged bird sings
Yes I do
I got plenty of money
I got plenty of time
Before you walk out you better think twice
Before you walk out you better think twice
What about the diamonds
What about the pearls
What about the other girls
What about the other girls
If you leave me
Who’s gonna buy your pretty things
You keep telling me
You’re gonna make it on your own
But where you gonna get your sugar sugar
If your sugar daddy’s gone gone gone
We all know why
The caged bird sings
Don’t leave me
Who’s gonna buy your pretty things
