You Can Sing in Your Underwear

about

Trigger Warning: This song has like zero low-end and details my 9-11 experience. The "drums" were played on a brown paper bagfull of junk mail with brushes.

I did give a concert in my underwear as part of my 9-11 experience.

lyrics

Down Baby Down!
(In the Valley)

Well I went down in the valley
I was down in the canyon
It's a big ol' coulee
(Don't ya know it's a big ol' coulee)
It's a big ol dam
(Don't ya know it's a big ol' coulee)

And I come out with a bum knee
(Just the moon and the stars above me)
I got down with a waitress
I didn't see no planes in the sky
(Just the moon and the stars above me)

And I sang a song for the people there
And they said: "Honestly, we don't care
You can sing in your underwear!"

Well I went down in the valley
(Well I went down)
When everything went wrong
When the world turned upside-down
And it's up to the Gretchen question to save us now

Love your fellow man,
Love your fellow man,
Love your fellow girl even more
Just show her all the love in the world

Me and Tellus Mater

Well I was down in the valley
(Well I got baptized down by the riverside)
And I was down on my knees
And I was down on my knees
And I stayed down on my knees

And it's up to the Gretchen Question
And it's up to the Gretchen Question
And it's up to the Gretchen Question
To save us now

Where were you?
In the valley
