Dow's: "A Way of Life Cycle"

            A Way of Life Cycle starts with a person's individualism. In every
            way the individual is unique. The way I think is not exactly the way
            you think. The way I do is not exactly the way you do. Our unique
            abilities, when put together, naturally create something new...this
            is called creativity. First you compose all the facts and all the
            feelings into an expression. The problem is to make that expression
            constructive, not destructive. To accomplish this you screen the
            expression for honesty, the give-and-take of humility and the
            vitality of enthusiasm. Thus, expressions are developed. Evaluation
            and appreciation of these new expressions discourages the
            destructive and encourages the constructive. The results are even
            finer standards of new expressions. Thus we continue to travel
            around the Way of Life Cycle -- forever improving, forever growing.

I'm a Dave Frishberg Fan

My Attorney Bernie

 Words and Music: Dave Frishberg

I'm impressed, with my attorney Bernie
I'm impressed, with his influential friends
He's got very big connections
and I follow his directions
Bernie knows his way around
and so I always do what Bernie recommends.

I am blessed, with my attorney Bernie
I'm impressed, with the way he runs the store
He's got Dodger season boxes
and an office full of foxes
It's amazing all the different things
your average guy might need a lawyer for.

chorus:

Bernie tells me what to do
Bernie always lays it on the line
Bernie says we sue, we sue
Bernie says we sign.. we sign

I'm in touch, with my attorney Bernie
In a clutch, he can speed right to the scene
and if I'm locked up in the jail
with just one phone call for my bail
he said to call his club collect
or deal directly with his answering machine

When I dine, with my attorney Bernie
He buys wine, from the rare imported rack
That's cause Bernie is a purist
not your polyester tourist
Bernie waves the glass around awhile
then takes a sip and always sends it back

(chorus)

I admire, my attorney Bernie
I admire, any guy who knows his stuff
Sure we blew a couple ventures
with a counterfeit debenture
But you win a few, you lose a few
and like Bernie says you keep on hanging tough

Thanks to you, my attorney Bernie
Thanks to you, I'm considered well to do
Sure I made out like a bandit
Just exactly like you planned it
But like Murray my accountant
told me yesterday, I owe it all to you.

(chorus)

On the dotted line!
