I hosted a sweet show at Slocan Lake Arts Centre on Nov 19th 2022. The guest songsmiths, Gemma Luna, Sam Harrison and Christa Rebman were awesome!!! This is one of my newest tunes Slippery Nickel and what a treat it was to have everyone sing along!
I wrote this based on my pal Stringer sayin' "It's a slippery nickel" and it spoke to me. It seems these days nothing makes sense, lots of fishy headlines! There is no idealogy that fits me, no matter the choice it's a slippery nickel. Head or tails it's a slippery nickel.
Slippery Nickel
Back at it at it again
once I’m moving Ya can’t stop this train
Destination groovy times
Get your ticket I got mine
I paid the piper in the biggest way
Petrified piranhas on a rainy day
Feasting on us all like a Big Buffett
Pop filter on the mic censor what I say
Cover it all up with a pink toupee a pink toupee
Back at it at it again
now we’re cruisin’ Ya on A cosmic plane
Time to rock the casbah
and bust some rhymes
Mark it on calendar a couple times
Roger Miller rhymed purple with maple syurple
It ain’t worth shit if it’s missing the pickle
Sit around a fire jamming in a circle
Silver and gold hammer or sickle
Heads or tails it’s a slippery nickel it’s a slippery nickel……………..
Back at it at it again
now we’re grooving’ We’re gonna win this game
Clowns hate mimes
Footloose’ is a crime I
f ya got corona bring lemons or limes
The best things in life they say are free
But ya gotta pay the bands so there’s a fee
Nowhere to park in the big city
Head to the hills too big to climb Hit ya like a punch its a fishy headline
Heads or Tails It's a slippery nickel..........................
