What the World Could Use a Lot More Of
I'm walking along.
I'm digging a tune
When this girl steps in my way.
She's taking a poll
And wanting to know
What this sir might have to say.
So who do you like--
The crook or the thief?
Who will win on Election Day?
Well I never vote--
I think it's for girls,
But there's one thing I'd like to say.
I can't think for everyone.
I can't speak for everyone.
I can't do for everyone.
But what the world could use a lot more of
Is a whole lotta love.
What happened to peace?
What happened to love?
It's all that religion getting in the way.
It might sound funny
And hippie but love
Has got to be the word of the day.
I can't think for everyone.
I can't speak for everyone.
I can't do for everyone.
But what the world could use a lot more of
Is a whole lotta love.
Well there’s this girl and
She’s driving me out of my mind.
She’s a brainiac but that’s
The kind of girl I dig anyway.
And she knows what she’s doing to me
And she knows biochemistry.
Polly Urethane.
I’m brushing up on everything
I’ve ever learned from A to Z.
Every single night you’ll
Find me in a book on Library Lane.
And she knows what she’s doing to me
And she knows relativity.
Polly Urethane.
All the guys are gawking
When she’s walking so scholarly.
I wonder if she’s smart enough
To know she’s got a funny name.

The day you left I swore there was a god
Ooh I swore that I had just won the lottery.
Though we were sinking I started thinking
How good it felt to be free.
But that was only for a minute--
I had this dream and you were in it.
And then I cried for a minute or two
Cause I was dreaming ‘bout the things we’d do.
The day you left I swore there was a god.
Ooh I swore that I was six foot three.
Ooh girl I mean it--I mean I mean it:
You were like nothing to me.
I heard your band on a podcast,
Saw your name in the show notes.
Then I skyped you for a minute or two
Cause I was thinking ‘bout the things we’d do.
The day you left I swore there was a god
Ooh I swore that I had just won the lottery.
Ooh girl I mean it--I mean I mean it:
You were like nothing to me.
But that was only for a minute--
I had this dream and you were in it.
And then I sighed for a minute or two
Cause I was thinking ‘bout the things we’d do
And I was thinking maybe you were too
Thinking 'bout the things we'd do.

Here’s a wish for you
With an I love you:
Happy Anniversary!
When I hold you dear,
I’m happy we are here.
Happy Anniversary!
On that summer wedding day
When one was made of two,
I knew I would always say
I do.
It’s our anniversary--
A celebration’s due!
I’m counting all the countless ways that
I love you.
Another year gone by
I’m such a lucky guy--
Happy Anniversary!
I will always love you,
Love you good and true.
And I love anniversaries with you.
I love you.
