You Can’t Stay Here
© 1986 Neal
GladstoneYou can pamper your condition
With exercise and good nutrition
You can tint that gray here
Work out twice a day here
But you know what they say dear:
You can’t stay here
You can rise to wealth and power
Reigning from your corporate tower
You can buy and sell here
Watch your profits swell here
But when they ring that bell dear:
You can’t stay here
When we were young
We always hung together
Where are you now
Positive that we would live forever
Now you’re not around
Since you’ve gone underground
You can tangle our emotion
You can bank on our devotion
You can lead the blind here
Feed us all a line here
But keep one thing in mind dear:
You can’t say here
I tried to find a valentine to send you
Where are you now
I really hope its meaning won’t offend you
Now you’re not around
Since you’ve gone underground
You can take the road to glory
Rolling Stone can write your story
You can be the one here
Who rides into the sun here
Hope you’re having fun dear
Cause you can’t stay here
Please take a number
Sing for your supper
You aint gettin younger
Sure gonna miss ya
Ya can’t take it with ya -
Work the Sausage

GladstoneI met you in a Polish meat store
I really like the way you dressed
I ordered 50 pounds of Bratwurst baby
And I was really quite impressed when you
CHORUS
Worked the sausage worked the sausage
And then I asked you out for breakfast
We laughed a had a couple of drinks
And then I ordered toast an coffee
But you just wanted smokey links I saw you
And then I asked you out for breakfast
We walked into a small cafe
You took me up to your apartment
You offered me a glass of wine
You made me a salami sandwich baby
And then you really blew my mind when you -
Wedding Wish
© 1996 Neal
GladstoneWe are gathered here together on this lovely summer day
To celebrate your union and send you on your way
As you tie your dreams together with a simple
band of gold
We wish you all the joy hearts can hold
Your lives have been a journey the stars have been your
guide
They’ve led you to the special one who’s standing
by your side
As you sail along together and your destines unfold
We wish you all the joy your hearts can hold
There surely will be trials along the way
No one will be spared their share of pain
But tho there may be hard times
We take delight in sunshine
Only when we’ve come to know the lonely sound of rain
And the one that you have chosen is generous and
kind
Knows the wisdom of forgiveness and the healing power
of time
May they comfort and protect you and give you shelter
from the cold
And bring you all the joy your heart can hold
SOLO
There surely will be trials along the way
No one will be spared their share of pain
But tho there may be hard times
We take delight in sunshine
Only when we’ve come to know the lonely sound of rain
And those of us who love you our prayers are with you
now
We offer you our blessings and bear witness to your vow
May your home be filled with harmony from the music in
your soul
And we wish you all the joy your hearts can hold
We wish you all the joy your hearts can hold -
To See You Again
© 1993 Neal Gladstone
I was walking down a crowded steeet on a summer aftemoon
When I heard somebody laughing the way you used to do
I tried to keep from staring and I pulled my eyes away
But I could feel you there beside me like it was yesterday
And it would be so good to see you again
To look into your eyes my beautiful friend
To hear the sound of your voice and feel the touch of your hand
It would be so good to see you again
In the early years we lived our dreams in restless poetry
The future shined with our design as far as we could see
We spent those days so carelessly but then I never knew
That time would come to take me so far away from you
Life goes on and the years roll by
What I would not give to see you one more time
When I look back upon my life and who I’ve come to be
I find that there’s a part of you in every part of me
I miss you in so many ways and yet when I recall
The echo of your laughter I miss you most of all -

If your ears are ringin and your eyesight’s poor

We’ll discuss the situation in total relaxation
I’ll give you an examination–prescribe some medication

The Party
© 1986 Neal
GladstoneWell I went to a party in Beverly Hills
All the people were cool, hip and groovy
There were beautiful women who longed to be loved
It was just like an X-rated movie
The music started to play
And everyone got up to dance
I was taking a thread off my pants
When I saw her
She was wearing more make up than Zsa Zsa Gabor
And her beauty left something desired
But to my amazement she started to dance
Like the ovens of hell had been fired
From the moment I met her
She just kept getting better
O how could I forget her
When I saw that she knew
All the latest dances
Well I went in the bathroom to check out my hair
And I squirted some musk on my ear lobe
And when I came out she was thrashing around
Like a cat that had jumped on a wood stove
Well we danced every dance past a quarted to three
Till my legs were like neoprene rubber
And I said to myself “Gee thank God
for my health.”
As I danced with my Amazon lover -
The One I Love
© 1975 Neal
GladstoneYou could walk along
The other side forever
You may never know
I’m dreaming of
You could disappear
Like ripples in the river
You could be the one I love
Like a drop of rain on a window pane
Like the sunset on a mountain
Like a whiporwill on a windowsill
Like a bubble in a fountain
You could be the one
To fill my nights with laughter
You could sparkle like
The stars above
You could be here now
And gone the moment after
You could be the one I love -
Toyota
Words by Neal Gladstone
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Toyota Toyota Toyota Toyota
All the cars on the road in a single word
Toyota Toyota Toyota Toyota
Toyota Toyota Toyota Toyota
Toyota, I just drove a car named Toyota
And now I understand how lovely a sedan can be
Toyota
I just bought a car called Toyota
And suddenly the road will never be as cold to me
Toyota
Drive it fast and the doves are cooing
Drive it slow and it’s almost like screwing
Toyota, I’ll never stop driving Toyota
The most beautiful sound I ever heard
Toyota -
Take It All
© 1981 Neal
GladstoneTake it all boys, take it all
Push her down boys watch her fall
Take her heart hear it break
And when you’ve taken everything there is to take
You’ll have nothing
Take her tears boys, take her breath
Take her soul boys plan her death
Take her oceans, take her lands
And when every piece of gold is in your hands
You’ll have nothing
You have brought her down with your disdain
While singing pretty songs about her amber waves of grain
She will not forgive you now
It doesn’t matter anyhow
Take it all boys take it all
Send an army build a wall
And when you’ve taken everything
Then everyone will know that you were king
Of nothing
nothing
