about

I first wrote this song when I was 18 years old. Robert and I updated up a tad, added a section or two . . .

lyrics

The Corner
lyrics by Jack Foster III, music by Jack Foster III and Robert Berry
©2008 Muse-Wrapped Publishing

It’s right around the corner
loquacious mime
quotes nursery rhyme
like Little Jackie Horner
insert thumb
pull out a plumb
It’s right around the corner
piece of pie
in the sky
don’t wonder why
I think that we’re still movin’
don’t think just keep on groovin’
‘cause Jumpin’ Jack
still lives in a fantasy land
(not far away he)
plays in a Rock ‘n Roll band
(plays lead guitar)
smiles and cries no time to wait
I’m late I’m late I’m . . . .
I’m late I’m late I’m . . . .
(he’s late he’s late . . . .)
(he’s late he’s late . . . .)
So davida vo davida lolicka solicka
So davida vo davida
vich vich vich vich vich vich
So dance away the hours
like Fred Astaire
no need to care
And give your girl some fl owers
daffodils
and happy pills
and dance away the hours
boogie down
lucky clown
why look around
So ride around the ferris wheel
prepare your wares and make a deal
you’re back where you begin
This time it’s gonna be brand new
a shining polished saphire, blue
and losers sometimes win
say it again, yeah
and again, yeah
When you get old
you can look back so fondly
at the elegant parties
and the mad drunken sprees
the echoes of laughter
will remain in your ears
as you smile
through the tears
So dance away the hours
like Fred Astaire
no need to care
And give your girl some fl owers
daffodils
and happy pills
so dance away the hours
boogie down
lucky clown
why look around
I think that we’re still movin’
don’t think just keep on groovin’
‘cause Jumpin’ Jack
still lives in a fantasy land
(not far away)
plays in a Rock ‘n Roll band
(plays lead guitar)
smiles and cries no time to wait
I’m late I’m late I’m . . . .
I’m late I’m late I’m . . . .
(he’s late he’s late . . . .)
(he’s late he’s late . . . .)
So davida vo davida lolicka solicka
So davida vo davida
vich vich vich vich vich vich
Ask for a lolicka
so davida cataratarich
eh ah si oh eh ah si oh
So ride on down to Shangrila
eternal life (comme ci, comme ça)
is yours with no disgrace
On you marks, get set and go
with open heart, resilient soul
join the human race
just need some faith, yeah
faith, yeah
