Feelin' Fine (Tavern Theme Music)

It's been a long hard day for me, but the timing is right,
We've come a long hard way but we're doin' just fine,
I see the sun is goin' down,
Soon people will be comin' round,
But with fish to fry on the fire inside,
I'll be feelin' fine,

I never thought the road I'm on would ever lead me here,
I look under my feet and it's paved with fish heads and beer,
There never seems to be time enough,
Sometimes it seems a bit too much,
But I just add a little song and before too long,
I'm feelin' fine,

I've watched the days and the years go rolling on by,
I've had plenty of things come around that made me laugh and made me cry,
In the face of all of those things,
I found strength and love in this ring,
And the one through the years who has always been standing,
By my side, she's been by my side, and I'm feelin' fine,

Each day brings me a little more of bright sunshine,
Each night I have a place where I relax and unwind,
I finally oiled that squeaky door hinge,
So step on out and come on in,
There's laughter to be found with friends all around,
You'll be feelin' fine, feelin' fine, I'm feelin' fine,

Storyteller's Song
I'm just a Storyteller, I go from town to town,
I've heard all sorts of things, oh yes, I've been around,
I've heard all sorts of tales, some are sad and some are true,
Everyone has a story to tell, no matter what they think,
Everyone has a story to tell, even if it stinks,

So if you want to hear a story, then sit back and listen close,
But before I tell a story, tell me what interests you the most,
I'm ready and I'm able, all you have to do is ask,
Do you want me to talk about heroic deeds of old,
Or to tell of far away lands where things are bought and sold,

We'd all like a story, something with pizzazz,
A new kind of story, something we've never had,
A funny kind of story, one that's sad and one that's true,
Can you put all that in a story, is what we ask of you,

Well perhaps a tale of cities floating high up in the clouds,
Where people all have wings, or maybe dark tales from underground,
There's all sorts of legends that just might interest you,
How about a dissertation on a theory about stars,
Or maybe an exciting tale about invading aliens from mars,

A story of a dragon, or creatures from the sea,
Maybe one about mermaids, well, what'll it be,
I don't have all night, so please make up your mind,
The dawn will soon be here and I'll need to get away,
If the IRS finds me here, there's taxes they'll make me pay,

Can you tell us a story, that will make us smile,
That will ease all our aches, if only for awhile,
Can you help us to forget, the pains from our day,
Can you tell us a story, to make the bad things go away,

Well I've got a story that happened not too long ago,
It may sound somewhat familiar, maybe, I don't know,
It's one I've never told before, but it comes from the heart,
It's got many of the things you want, and this is how it starts,

I Can Dream About Tomorrow
They say I'm flippant, they say I'm rude,
They talk behind my back, but I'm no fool,
What they don't understand is I want more,
She wants what everybody has, just not the poor,

I want silk curtains, that blow in the breeze,
I want time to waste as much as I please,
Like a princess in stories of old,
I'll have a knight in shining armor to hold,

I'll have rings of silver, not wood or tin,
I'll have satin dresses soft against my skin,

Servants will hasten to my beck and call,
I deserve more than I have, I want it all,

I can dream about tomorrow,
I can wish for my dreams to come true,
Why should I rein in my dreams,

For those everyday things,
That will wind up just making me blue,

What you need, is a really good spanking,
That will bring tears to your eyes and redden your behind,
Can you not see all the things you have around you,

We're surprised you've managed to survive all this time,

Young lady, it's nice to dream,
But what you ask is too much to believe,
Tomorrow will be here in good time,
Today is more than enough for anyone, so keep this in mind,

You can dream about tomorrow,
But don't let it get in the way,
Tomorrows dreams just might come true,
But only if you start working on them today,

It's ok, to dream of tomorrow,
After all, who knows what it will bring,
Maybe we'll all be rich and win the lottery,

I don't know, who's to know, who can say,

I know my dreams, about tomorrow,
Will all come true for me someday,
And I'll have all those things, like a bird on the wing,
I'll take flight and soar far, far away,

If you don't mind! I'll dream as I please,
Keep your opinions to yourself and leave me be,
Someday you'll be sorry when I'm gone,
Who will you have then, to pick on,

Fairy Godmother Rap
I'm his fairy godmother and I'm here to say,
I'm gonna solve all his problems, gonna make them go away,
I'm here with my crew, we're rollin' into town,
Gonna spread a little magic, gonna make you dance around,

She's looked into your future, She knows just what to do,
Because yours looks black, you don't gotta be blue,

I may look a little tattered, I can't get off the ground,
But with help from my boys, I'll help you get it down,

I'm not a famous fairy, I don't get the best gigs,
I got no movie deals like Glinda, got no concert dvd's,

She tried out for a company selling spicy chicken wings,
I couldn't even get a job doing infomercial things,

She could be so much better, she could shine like the sun,
I'm the cream of the crop, I could be number one,
She just needs a bit o' tape, she just needs a coat of paint,
Instead I get the nut jobs, because I'm 3rd rate, they call me 3rd rate,

She's the one who follows you,
She's the one who's always 'round,
She sees that secret part of you,
That you thought could never be found,

With just a wish your dreams come true,
All those hopes inside of you,
Like a seed hidden underground,
Will soon burst forth to be found,

I got no need for crystal balls,
Watch what you dream, for she sees it all,
She sees all with her inner eye,

With a wave of her hand, you'll realize,

That your dreams can come true,
Because their already a part of you,

With a nudge from her you'll be on your way,
Your tomorrow will be a brand new day,

So you see little boy, I'm at your beck and call,
Just keep it rated PG, so I don't take the fall,

There ain't nothing like me, I could do it in the dark,
Just don't take up my time, 'cause my limo's, double parked, yeah, i'm double parked,

Even though she's only grade 3,
That's more than enough for you and me,

I put the writing on the bathroom wall,
For all to read, for all to call,

So when you go to sleep tonight,
Don't wait up or she won't alight,

You better be fast asleep,
So into your dreams, I can creep,

She can creep, she's creepy,

She's FG3, you can see what we mean,
She thinks she got the moves, but we got to come clean,

I'm never on time, without us she'd fall,
But I pay real good, and she drives us to the mall,

I'll never be the best, It's a bad thing to say,
But I'm full of goodwill, and that's where she spends her pay,
I'm only 3rd rate, we know you know it's true,
We'll carry her around, as long as she's good to you,

What Am I To Do
I walk the streets at night, thinking about you,
Like a ghost hiding in the shadows,
There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide,
I missed my chance for a happy tomorrow,
I can only hope you'll be happy this way,
All of my dreams, have been dashed away,
Won't somebody please, please tell me what am I to do,

I can't think at all, I'm being pulled in so many ways,
Which way do I turn, my minds in a haze,
At war within myself, my mind and my heart,
I long for my dreams, but will love play a part,
Should I settle for what, is right in front of me,
Or take a chance, for what could be,
Won't somebody please, please tell me what am I to do,

I've longed for your embrace it seems for all my life,
I've dreamed of someone to hold someone to be my wife,
You deserve more, than what I have to give,
But without you in my life, how am I supposed to live,
I don't know where to go, I don't know what to say,
My sky looks dark, my future looks gray,
Won't somebody please, please tell me what am I to do,

I've learned so many things, I've changed my points of view,
I've come to realize, that I love you,
And now your gone, I never said goodbye,
No matter what it takes, for your sake I'll try,
I'll wait and hope, I'll pray you'll come to me,
How could I not have known, how could I not have seen,
Won't somebody please, please tell me what am I to do,

Will I ever be, as happy as I was,
Will I ever see your smile filled with your love,
Can there ever come a time when her love will shine my way,
Can I have that dream that I dream today,
Should I ignore the calling of my heart,
No matter where I go, will we always be apart,
Won't somebody please, please tell me what am I to do,

Fish
We eat fish in the morning, we eat fish all day long,
We eat cold fish for lunch, and we bring it back home,
We have fish heads for supper, with baked beans and some bread,
So if you want anything better, your in the wrong place my friend,
But we got fish, a whole lotta fish,

Perhaps you'd like to have a salad, with some dressing on top,
Well there's some green stuff in the garden out back, it's a short walk,
Maybe you'd prefer a juicy steak and some wine from a decanter,
Some soft romantic lighting, not in this place no sir,
But we got fish,
truckloads of fish,

Oh shut up, stop it, all of you hush, that's just not what they wish,
They're here to celebrate a special occasion, and to eat my home cooked fish,
Anyway you want it, this I guarantee,
You'll never taste a better fish of any species or pedigree,
It's grade "A" fish, 'cause I cook the fish,

All of you stop! But why does it have to be fish?

Because we love our fish, (we love those fish)
That's what we do, (that's what we do)
If you cook them up just right,
Then they'll be good for you,

'cause we love fish, and you can too,
Ya gotta have fish, to keep away the flu,

Matter To Me
Sometimes I wonder if it's really all worthwhile,
Working all day and night, for a penny and a smile,
To wake up in the morning, and to see a smiling face,
To fall asleep at night dreaming of your embrace,
Am I wrong to want any more, from life than that,
Is there more to growing up
then getting old and fat,

What if life were a story, that you could, with just a wish,
Spend your days without serving ale
or cleaning smelly fish,
But how can I live without my family,
I'm sure that I would miss those things that mean so much to me,
There should be so much more, to life, than that,
I have all that I need
and she's hardly ever sad,

There are times that are hard, and some times that are bad,
I don't always get what I want, and it makes me ever so mad,
But then I look into a mirror, and I see her smile at me,
The girl becomes a woman, with responsibilities,
Maybe it's time I grow up, but not too fast,
And cherish all of those things that I know will last,

It's the little things that really matter to me,
Like hope and faith and trust and love,
That's all I really need,
Forget about the way I look, in someone else's eyes,
This revelation, or epiphany, Is quite a surprise,
Maybe I'm finally growing up, and my eyes have opened wide,
I'm starting to see what I missed before, I just never took the time,

Why did I ever want more than I already have,
To sit by a cozy fire, and listen to them laugh,

Yes upon occasion, they overdo their reverie,
But all in all their is no other life I want for me,
I guess I must be growing up, for I just realized,
There is no better place than here, where I can live my life,

There's only one thing left now, for you to do,
To go to the one who's holding your heart and tell him, I love you,
You'll love him,
you'll kiss him, and you'll hold him tight,
And he'll do the same for me each and every night,
Through the days and the years, I'll do all I can,
With him by your side,
you won't really mind,
Growing old and getting fat,

Maybe those little things, seem to matter to you,
As for the rest of us, h
ey, we've got more important things to do,
Like telling bad jokes, and cheating at cards, and drinking lots of ale,
So why don't you get over here and give us some free refills,
You dance around and go on and on,
about that, about this,
When you really should be cooking supper,
And cleaning those stupid fish, yeah fish,

Maybe those silly things really matter to you,
But we think that we know better, and we've got nothing else to prove,
We have good friends to laugh with, ones we count upon,
To make the long days shorter way before the sun goes down,
So go back to your stupid games, to your food and to your drink,
She needs some time to be alone, I need some time, to think,

It's the little things that really matter to me, It's such a little thing, that really matters to me,

In Me
My ocean is changing, I can feel the tide,
For my girl, who's crying inside,
How can I make,
her understand,
That she's all, that I am,
Deep in my heart, I want her to stay,
But I know, love will lead her away,
From me, from me,

When she smiled, she brushed away the clouds,
I kept her safe, from all the bad things around,
I saw the sun,
In her eyes,
I dried the tears, when she cried,
Holding her close, when she falls,
And feeling the pain,
of it all,
In me, in me,

Throughout the days, and the years,
Watching the time, as it grew near,
Waiting for silence,
to descend all around,
Will laughter again,
again be found,
Holding on tight, to her heart,
Waiting for one, to pull her apart,
From me, from me,

I thought I knew, more than her heart,
I guess I'm nothin' more, than an old fart,

But there were those times, I thought she would fall,
But with our love, she came through it all,
And someday soon, with little feet around,
Laughter once again, will be found,
In me, in me,

Why Not Me
I can't believe the things they say, I just don't understand,
Why they hate me so much, I'm just the son of a kindly ruling man,
What have I done to rate that abuse, why are they so cruel,
It's not my fault they don't see the way I do,

It's not that you don't have a soft spot in your heart,
For all the things they go through,

They'll wake up one morning, and they'll quickly realize,
That I'll be running this town, oh won't they be sur-prised,
I've got some changes to make around here, I've got some things in mind,
Not like my father, he's way too soft, he's been way too kind,

You'll let the people know, they can see you anytime,
With all their sorrows and their woes,

It's not that you don't care, It's not that you don't see,
I care just enough to see that everything will belong to me,
Soon there will come a time,
when you hold all that power and money,
I'll rule the land, the people, my days will be bright and sunny,

Your humble and your wise, you'll be so sweet and very kind,
The people all will love you,
oh yes they will,

As for that silly little girl, who does she think she is,
I'll only use her for a day then I'll cancel the marriage,

You should keep her for at least two days, then after you've had your way,
I'll send her back home, where she can grow old and grey,

There's so many more important things, to take up all your time, but you can have it all,

And why shouldn't I,
Why not me, why not me,

Found In You
Lady love me true, be mine don't make me blue,
Come with me, don't go away,
Live forever more,
within my arms,
Let me love you with all of your charms,

How I want you so, and darlin' I'll let you know,
That I'll love you more, with each passing day,
What I'll do for you,
forever he'll be true,
Girl, he'll never let you down,

'cause I've found in you, someone I can love,
An angel sent to me, from heaven up above,
And I've prayed for oh so long,
To be with you, I can't go wrong,

And lady, to only you, Will I be true,

Late at night, when we're all alone,
In front of the fireplace, with the flames burning down low,
As I hold you near,
we'll both make it clear,
That we'll never ever let each other go,

Lookin' in your eyes, it comes as no surprise,
The way I love you, it's the only thing I can do,
It's the way I'll always feel,
to us our love is real,
It grows stronger, even when we're both apart,

'cause I've found in you, someone I can love,
An angel sent to me, from heaven up above,
And I've prayed for oh so long,
To be with you, I can't go wrong,

And baby, to only you, will I be true,

'cause I've found in you, someone I can love,
An angel sent to me, from heaven up above,
And I've prayed for oh so long,
To be with you, I can't go wrong,
And baby, to only you, and baby, to only you,
And baby to only you, will I be true,
