about

Thanksgiving came and went without so much as a burp, if by burp you mean song (and I do). This song was intended to be a song for that holiday, but well you know me and so it’s moved along and become probably just what it wanted to be all along: not that at all.

lyrics

Tom Hanks is a movie star
Cadillac is a fancy car
The Pavilion was my favorite bar
But it’s gone gone gone

Tom Hanks in a rocket ship
Section 25 From the Hip
Can’t kiss if you got no lip
It’s just gone gone gone

It’s gone, all these things have gone
But I’m happy for the other things
That keep coming along

Bosom Buddies and a face like mine
Slice of pizza and a jug of wine
Skinny-dippin’ back in ’89
It’s just gone gone gone

It’s gone, all these things have gone
But I’m happy for the other things
That keep coming along

Is Tom Hanks giving you a hard time?
Is Tom Hanks giving you a hard time?
Is Tom Hanks giving you a hard time?
Just let it go, let it go…

Ol’ da Vinci never had a clue
That I may be more than quarter Jew
Or about the things you like to chew
He’s just gone gone gone

Is Tom Hanks giving you a hard time?
Is Tom Hanks giving you a hard time?
Is Tom Hanks giving you a hard time?
Just let it go, let it go…

Tom Hanks on a fated trip
Jungle dancing in a sexy slip
Give me one of those I’d like a sip
And we’re gone gone gone

about

The Marble Tea Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey

Drawing mandalas and watching Captain Kangaroo...that's pretty much what it's like in here. I enjoy writing songs about my cats and cartoon insects, but I'm also fond of feeling up the tentacles that lead to the oneness of existence. That's the Marble Tea experience.

Recommended for fans of Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, Jazz Butcher, Magnetic Fields, etc.
