COME ON


WHAT’S THE USE OF BEING STUCK STUCK STUCK?
WHY NOT GO OUT AND TRY YOUR LUCK LUCK LUCK
YOU WON’T GET RUN DOWN LIKE A TRUCK TRUCK TRUCK
COME ON COME ON COME ON

LITTLE BIRDIE LEARNS TO SING SING SING
THEN THE BIRDIE LEARNS TO FLAP HIS WINGS
PRETTY SOON HE CAN DO ANYTHING
COME ON COME ON COME ON

YOU’VE GOT TO TRY A LITTLE HARDER
YOU’VE GOT TO MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
BEG BORROW STEAL OR BUY OR BARTER
DO ANYTHING YOU GOTTA DO

DON’T BELIEVE ‘EM WHEN THEY SHOOT YOU DOWN
YOU’RE THE BEST THERE IS FOR MILES AROUND
PRETTY SOON YOU’RE GONNA OWN THIS TOWN
COME ON COME ON COME ON

YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S GONNA TOP THE CHARTS
YOU’RE THE ONE WHO’S GONNA BREAK SOME HEARTS
THE ONLY THING YOU GOTTA DO IS START
COME ON COME ON COME ON

YOU’VE GOT THE STUFF TO BE A WINNER
SO DON’T JUST LAY RIGHT DOWN AND DIE
I’D SAY A QUITTER IS A SINNER
JUST FLAP YOUR WINGS AND LEARN TO FLY

DON’T JUST LAY THERE IN A RUT RUT RUT
NOW’S THE TIME FOR YOU TO KICK SOME BUTT
THIS AIN’T NO SITUATION YOU CAN’T CUT
COME ON COME ON COME ON

NOW’S THE TIME TO GET YOUR COLLAR STARCHED
NOW’S THE TIME FOR YOU TO FORWARD MARCH
THE ONLY THING YOU GOTTA DO IS START
COME ON COME ON COME ON

Paul McMahon Woodstock, New York

From a musical family he explored folk, jug, blues and rock quitting music at 20 for art, returning as a punk rocker at 27. Then a long oddysey, solo and band in search of the real real deal; the songs becoming a diary of psychological and spiritual experience; shamanism and ordination as an Interfaith minister.
January 2020 tour of DC Ba Ph & Bk was his first at 69 organized by Goodflavor45 ... more
