“CRAPHAPPIEST DAY” (G. Pickus) Stiff neck, dog ate the cat Burnt toast, tire flat Left my coat on the bus Sunglasses gone in a cloud a dust And I think I left the iron on And my pit bull on the neighbor’s lawn BUT YOU CAN TRUST ME, THIS MUST BE THE CRAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE BUT IF YOU KISS ME IT COULD STILL BE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE THE CRAPHAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE Paper cut my thumb My Ice-T CD melted in the sun Shot a hole-in-fourteen Lost my wallet on the green Heard the ex won the lottery And my shrink won the lottery You seem so unimpressed, I guess I should get… Dressed down for my interview Recruiter said, “Dude, get a clue” While my red bull spilled on my laptop When does this nonsense stop CHORUS The craphappiest day of my life Yes it is ©PICK-US MUSIC (BMI)

“ELEPHANT NOW” (Gary Pickus) Here’s a gritty little ditty to the people who are runnin’ the zoo Preventin’ elephants from the hanky panky thing they wanna’ do Stun them with electrode shocks if they rumble close together Can’t let the humans see the sex offenders WISH YOU WERE THINKIN’ LIKE AN ELEPHANT NOW INSTEAD OF MESSIN’ WITH NATURE IT WOULD SETTLE YOUR MALEVOLENCE DOWN YOU’D BECOME A BETTER CREATURE MUST SAY I SEE LOTSA SENSE IN IT IT WOULD DO SOME GOOD IF YOU WERE THINKIN’ LIKE AN ELEPHANT NOW YOU’D UNDERSTAND THAT YOU SHOULDN’T FOOL AROUND WITH THEIR FOOLIN’ AROUND Here’s to the ferocious poachers hunting big game Aren’t you brave to obliterate the docile and tame Your taxidermy bears tribute on that we would agree ‘Not to your strength it’s to your idiocy yeah WISH YOU WERE ACTIN’ LIKE AN ELEPHANT NOW INSTEAD OF MESSIN’ WITH NATURE IT WOULD SETTLE YOUR IRRELEVANCE DOWN AND YOU’D BECOME A BETTER CREATURE MUST SAY I SEE LOTSA SENSE IN IT IT WOULD DO SOME GOOD IF YOU WERE ACTIN’ LIKE AN ELEPHANT NOW Who are the beasts and who are the burdens? Oh Who has the guts to leave well enough alone Wish you were thinkin’ like an elephant Wish you were thinkin’ like an elephant now SOLO REPEAT BRIDGE Not much of a lion-hearted soul when you tamper with creation Where should we put you on the list of ignoramus nation Go justify your brainless theater I’d say you’re something of a bottom feeder WISH YOU WERE LOOKIN’ LIKE AN ELEPHANT NOW HAVE MORE REGARD FOR THE KINGDOM IT WOULD SETTLE YOUR ARROGANCE DOWN YOU’D BECOME A BETTER CREATURE MUST SAY I SEE LOTSA SENSE IN IT IT WOULD DO SOME GOOD IF YOU WERE LOOKIN’ LIKE AN ELEPHANT NOW STOP MESSIN’ AROUND WITH THEIR MESSIN’ AROUND WISH YOU WERE FLATTENED BY AN ELEPHANT NOW

“WHEN EARTH’S LAST PICTURE IS PAINTED” Poem by Rudyard Kipling Music by Gary Pickus When Earth’s last picture is painted And the tubes are twisted and dried When the oldest colors have faded And the youngest critic has died We shall rest and faith we shall need it Lie down for an eon or two Till the Master of all workmen Shall put us to work anew And those that were good shall be happy They’ll sit in a golden chair They’ll splash at a ten league canvas With brushes of comet’s hair They’ll find real saints to draw from Magdalene Peter and Paul They’ll work for an age at a sitting And never be tired at all And only the Master shall praise us And only the Master shall blame And no one will work for the money No one will work for the fame But each for the joy of the working And each, in his separate star Will draw the thing as he sees it For the G-d of things as they are
