I once worked for a retail company in the computer industry. One of my fellow buyers took a job at another company, then returned six months later as a salesman for that company. This is a song of how he might have felt returning to the city…

This is my ode to stereotypes and racism. The theme is very much "don't judge a book by its' cover". I'll post the lyrics as soon as I find the page I wrote it on. Enjoy. ER

This is from the classic warning tale when greed overcomes reason. (c)2012 T.A.Beckett Well you did it again. Ruined such a good thing. We had it all in hand. Might live like a king. You just could not wait, Could not follow the plan. And we…

The inspiration for this is The Emperor's New Clothes. (c) 2012 T.A. Beckett I just found the perfect tailors for me. Don't I look good? Don't I look fine? They found the perfect fabric for me. Don't I look good? Don't I look fine? A kind should…

This one is loosely based on the Frog and the Princess. What if the Frog was really a man but with a less than perfect face? If beauty is only skin deep, why is ugly to the bone? Can't someone less attractive be beautiful inside? Enjoy. ER

One day I happened along a photo of the painting "Boy Blue" (I think Renoir did it) and the words to this song came into my head. I can't find the lyric page right now, but I'll add it later. This is about a man who has been manipulated by his…

What if Sleeping Beauty was visited by a couple of fortune hunters? And what if those fortune hunters got into an argument? Colin Garvey did a super job with this song, and I raise a glass to him. Many thanks to you, my friend. (c)2012 T.A…

If you can't guess where I got this one, well . . . (c) 2012 T.A.Beckett Do you know me? No credit card have I. You might not know my name But look me in the eye. Do you know me? The Stones didn't sing about me. Lucifer is not my name. No…

What if the three little pigs played a baseball game against the big bad wolf and his friends? (c)2012 T.A.Beckett The Pigville nine were losing That sunny afternoon. If they didn't mount a rally The game would be oversoon. Willie the…

What if Bo Peep were a bit of a b*tch? If I knew her when she was like that, I might write a song like this. (c) 2012 T.A.Beckett Hey, Bo. Where did they all go? Hey Bo. What do you know? Maybe I could help you In your quest. Maybe I could…

I fell in love with Miss Muffet. This may not be my best vocal effort, but it's all I can do with it. I'd be happy to let someone else try it. Any volunteers from the studio audience? (c) 2012 T.A. Beckett Let me help you. Let me calm…

Guess where this story came from? (c) 2012 T.A.Beckett I really don't like your grandmother. Those teeth, that nose And that nasty disposition. Keeps givin' me that hungry eye And that awkward proposition. "Come closer, much closer…

This was written at a time when things weren't going so well for me. This will be my last upload until after the RPM Challenge. The jeans are worn but they're clean. The shirt is frayed at the elbows. The shoes are dull, lost their sheen…
