  • Calm Cool and Collected

    ©1985 Byron Walls
    When heavy decisions come up I don’t have to think twice
    I’m so together Ann Landers writes me for advice
    When world leaders get in a mess
    I’m the expert they always request
    For me nothin’s hard and on my business card it says
    Calm cool and collected
    In a car or a plane at home on the street on the job
    Whatever the question, hey, I’ve got the answer, no prob
    No matter how bumpy the ride
    I can take every chuck hole in stride
    What can I say I was born that way
    Calm cool and collected
    Verbal abuse leaves me mostly just mildly amused
    Tell me to jump in the lake I just smile and refuse
    I know how to pull out a plane when it pitches and rolls
    When he’s in a tight spot Chuck Yeager hands me the controls
    He knows when he’s in a jam
    To call on the better man
    Nothin’s too tough if you’ve got the right stuff and you’re
    Calm cool and collected
    The first lady says no one’s as charming as me
    If I weren’t so modest I guess I’d be forced to agree
    With ten seconds left in a game that one basket will win
    The crowd has no doubt as to which one the coach will put in
    I dribble pivot and set
    My impossible shot clears the net
    The crowd goes berserk when I go to work so
    Calm cool and collected
    When Clapton needs needs some cool bars
    He asks me to bring my guitar
