Song: I'm Just a Bulldog

Here's a song for my favorite bulldog.

I’m Just a Bulldog (Doug Smith)

C F C F

I’m just a bulldog the bestest breed

C G C

I’m all the dog you will ever need

C F C F

I’m just a bulldog, and that’s OK

C G C

Take me for walks, I’ll make your day

D7 G

Yes I will do, just as I pleases

D7 G

When I’m outside sniffin’ the breezes

I’m just a bulldog, strong and lean

Wash my face, keep my creases clean

You must be happy with what you’ve got

The way you kiss me, and wipe my butt

I may not have much of a tail

But look at those eyes — they’ll never fail

I’m just a bulldog, I’m truly cool

Pay attention — clean up my drool

Song: Jesus Ain't Afraid of Halloween

Jesus Ain’t Afraid of Halloween (Douglas Brent Smith)

C Em Am G

She looked at me sternly with what she had to say

C Em Am G

“We do not celebrate the devil’s holiday”

F G Em Am

Believe what you believe but I had to grin

F G Em Am D7 G

I don’t see trick or treat as some kind of sin

C Am F G

Pagans can be fun we all agree

F G C C/B Am

dressing up in costumes, why take it seriously?

Satan did his best to scare him once

C Em Am G

the devil just turned out to be a dunce

F G

because Jesus doesn’t scare

C C/B Am

his daddy’s everywhere

F G C

Jesus ain’t afraid of Halloween

Witches and goblins are all in jest

C Em Am G

It’s no theological test

F G Em Am

Everybody knows that it’s all pretend

F G F F/E F/D C

And Jesus has the Holy Ghost as his best friend

Song: Don't Give Up Your Day Job

Don’t Give Up Your Day Job (Douglas Brent Smith)

Chorus:

Don’t give up your day job

You could end up a poor slob

Life without a paycheck

Could make you a physical wreck

Don’t give up, don’t give up your day job

All my friends are artists, one way or another

Filled with talent filled with skills still yet undiscovered

When the routine looms they hunger for the road

Checking out, dropping off another heavy load

Before they jump into something absurd

They catch their breath, count to ten and say these six important words (chorus)

Chicago is the kind of place the race is always steady

the competition’s stiff and hits when you’re not ready

But people here never fear we work until we drop

and one way or another they will end up on the top

But even when we reach the sky and soar just like a bird

we’re sure to tell the story well of those six important words

(chorus)

(Bridge:)

A good job is hard to find

You must be out of your mind

To chase some crazy dreams way out of reach

(chorus)

boomerang babies (douglas brent smith)

everybody's got grown children still living at home
boomerang babies, who can't live on their own

they've got cable TV - absolutely free
all they need WIFI - no need to buy
food in the fridge - they're living like kids
boomerang babies, living at home

everybody's got grown children still living at home
boomerang babies who can't live on their own

the ground rules have been bended
ended or suspended
we did the best that we could do
and now we've got grandchildren, too!
grown children, and their children, living at home

to be fair, a place costs more these days
college loans are more than our mortgage to pay
opportunities at work don't get them any higher
because our generation won't retire
(what's a boomer to do? we can't afford to)

they've got cable TV - absolutely free
all they need WIFI - no need to buy
food in the fridge, they're living like kids
boomerang babies, living at home

i love those boomerang babies it's not your fault
you got caught in a troubled mess and you're so distraught
but if it's not too much trouble could you do one thing for me?
and set yourself free...
