SOME MUSIC
Pick another number from the hat
Pick another one, pick, pick, pick
’Til you get the one that opens up the box
Drink the shiny water from the cup
And keep it down, keep it down
It’s the only thing that’s nice
Climb on up the stairs to the top
And carry on, carry on
’Til you reach the very top
Now stop, think, listen!
The best things in life are three
Write a pretty letter to a girl
Write it down, write it well
You won’t be happy ’til it’s done
Send it to her soon, send it to her now
If you are not quick
It may be too late
If at first you don’t succeed
Try, try, and try again
Again, again
Again
Stop, think, listen!
The best things in life are three
Build a wooden castle in the sand
Watch it fall, watch it crash
(then build another one)
Stand up big and tall
Be a rock, be a man
Be a baby while you can can can can can can can
Finger in your ear
Mutely dumb, mutely dumb today
Press the Mother’s nose, press it in
All the way
Now stop, think…
Listen
Now STOP, THINK, LISTEN!
Now STOP, THINK, LISTEN!
But, no really. Just stop and listen for a bit. That's what you came for after all, amiright? You can hear everything we've got right here on the Ambulant Player® to the left. Free as can be. You could also buy our record-that-never-was, New Wave Babies. But, why would you wanna go and do that for?
What you will hear here is EVERYTHING Some Ambulants ever recorded. It also happens to be nearly everything we wrote during that 13 months or so of vibrant times we played together back when. There's a whole 17 tracks here, in fact. Not bad. We always wanted to do more, of course, but... time and money... yeah. You know how that sad tune goes.
