In America [VERSE] Turn on your radio I want to hear some rock-n-roll Made in America The guitar that I play I would really like to say that it’s Made in America All the clothes that I wear down to my underwear are Made in America Now baseball, football, basketball, even bowling their all Made in America [CHORUS] In America we’re doing things better in America. We think a little bigger in America We live the American way In America there is always room to dream in America We really make a scene in America I say, God bless America [VERSE] The movies that I see in theaters and on the TV are Made on America I want to tell you that it’s great to be in the states; do you know why? Cause I was made in America. What about you?

Romaine A parody of Cocaine © music Gary Louris © lyrics Bud Elkin 2013 When you want a good salad, you’ve got to have lettuce, Romaine Tomato and cheese and onions please, with Romaine {YOU CANT HIDE, YOU CANT HIDE, the Romaine} You can cut it up, or fluff it up, Romaine Some like it chopped, some like it lopped, Romaine {YOU CANT HIDE, YOU CANT HIDE, the Romaine} You can have your Purslane, but I’ll stick with Romaine, Romaine Ranch or Italian, even with scallions, Romaine {YOU CANT HIDE, YOU CANT HIDE, the Romaine} If you’re looking for fat, we can give you all that, Romaine As long as you see, you’ll get nothing from me, but Romaine {YOU CANT HIDE, YOU CANT HIDE, the Romaine}

LOOKIN FOR LOVE 03:55

Looking for love Bud Elkin © 2013 She walks across the room in her high heel boots. She has an attitude to match her prance. Deep Vee top with her hair hanging down. She’s out there and ready to dance. {bridge} She looks around for a chance to meet The one who will whisk her off her feet [CHORUS] She’s looking for love [among too many faces] Looking for love She’s looking for love [having too many chases] Looking for love He walks up to her with his best James Dean, And works his only method of charm. His first one liner took her by surprise. As he grabbed her waist and took her arm. {bridge} She set the hook while they danced away Breaking every heart as they watched her play [CHORUS] She’s looking for love [among too many faces] Looking for love [VERSE] They danced all night with the music up loud Never thinking twice about the crowd Everyone was watching as they danced away Breaking every heart as they watched her play [CHORUS] She’s looking for love [among too many faces] Looking for love She’s looking for love [having too many chases] Looking for love

WHY CAN'T SHE LOVE ME 03:52

Why can’t she love me like before? ©Bud Elkin 2015 [CHORUS] Why can’t she love me like she did before? Love is hard and life is too short… you say. Why can’t she love me like she did before? Because I never wanted it to end this way. [VERSE] you think that life runs a certain way. Looking back I see it’s not that way. I can say, that we, had it all,….. but clearly not in her eyes But clearly not in her eyes There were times I thought that you would stay. And keep the love and not run away. I once thought, that we would last,….. but clearly not in your eyes But clearly not in your eyes [BRIDGE] How could blindness fill my eyes, and take my sight away Was I so foolish to love her so, in my innocent way? [CHORUS] Why can’t she love me like she did before? Love is hard and life is way too short Why can’t she love me like she did before? I never wanted it to end this way. [VERSE] Should I take a chance with love again? Love can blind any man. I can say, that we, had it all,….. but clearly not in her eyes But clearly not in her eyes Someone else may come along. And keep the love we have and not run away. I can say, it will happen to me,….. And I can see it through my eyes And I can see it through my eyes [CHORUS] Why can’t she love me like she did before? Love is hard and life is too short… you say. Why can’t she love me like she did before? Because I never wanted it to end this way. [CHORUS] Why can’t she love me like she did before? Love is hard and life is too short… you say. Why can’t she love me like she did before? Because I never wanted it to end this way. [VERSE lead] [BRIDGE] How could blindness fill my eyes, and take my sight away Was I so foolish to love her so, in my innocent way? [CHORUS OUT] Why can’t she love me like she did before? Love is hard and life is too short… you say. Why can’t she love me like she did before? Because I never wanted it to end this way.

COCAINE 03:47

Cocaine ©copyright 1982 Face in the mirror, looking back through the lines. Trying to convince me; you can stop any time. Your pockets are empty as you look for a friend. Got to score some confidence, to start over again. It’s a wild world. It will drive you insane. But it’s my world; live and die- Cocaine. Living on the top, and going for it all. Walking on the edge; it’s so easy to fall. Open your eyes and take a look-look around. Can’t you see reality is bringing you down? It’s a wild world. It will drive you insane. But it’s my world; live and die- Cocaine. Chest is a pounding with Cocaine running through your veins. You’re just a heartbeat away from losing this game. Nothing seems familiar as you look-look for a clue. He’s taken your friends- now he’s looking for you! It’s a wild world. It will drive you insane. But it’s my world; live and die---------. Driving too fast, friends that don’t last; It’s just the same old song. Put some more in your head, and forget what they said. You can’t prove them right, if you don’t live that long. Cocaine- Cocaine- Cocaine- Cocaine- Cocaine- Cocaine-

Take me the way I am ©copyright bud elkin 2015 [CHORUS] Take me the way i am, and lets rock all night Take me the way I am, and let’s get it right [VERSE] The days are over when I try to change, time is moving with the sun these days. Reciprocation would be nice of you, but it seems you are immune to the things I do. Compromise will keep our love alive. Are you willing, to take and make it thrive? Cause loving you, is all I want to do. { I want, want to do} [CHORUS] Take me the way i am, and lets rock all night Take me the way I am, and let’s get it right [VERSE] You can have about anything you want, as long as I can have you with me. I have nothing but adoration for you. But changing is something I’m not good at. Compromise will keep our love alive. Are you willing, to give me another chance? Cause loving you, is all I want to do. { I want, want to do} [CHORUS] Take me the way I am, and let's rock all night Take me the way I am, and let's get it right [VERSE] The days are over when I try to change, time is moving with the sun these days. Reciprocation would be nice of you, but it seems you are immune to the things I do. Compromise will keep our love alive. Are you willing to help make it thrive? Cause loving you, is all I want to do.{ I want, want to do} [CHORUS out] Take me the way i am, and lets rock all night Take me the way I am, and let’s get it right [BRIDGE H out with lead]

Satisfy You ©copyright bud elkin 2015 [INTRO] [VERSE] I tell you that you’re pretty, and open your door. always compliment you, you come back for more. All I want to do is satisfy you I buy you everything you could want and more. You never seem to mind your new decor. All I want to do is satisfy you [VERSE] I know you're gettin anxious for something new. Think of a dance where I give you the queue. All I want to do is satisfy you I want to satisfy you You’re a shooting star in the moonlit sky. Everybody watches as you jump and fly. All I want to do is satisfy you I want to satisfy you All I want to do is satisfy you I want to satisfy you
