Prelude & Promise
Robert Porembski & Kenneth Higgins
Can you tell me where the children have gone?
Where the magic is of poetry and song?
When did flowers die, fail to reach the sky?
The beauty that has faded right before our very eyes.
Once there was a dream
Like you’ve never seen
Harmonic sounds were all around and
Love would reign supreme.
Seems we lost the way
Forgot how to pray
Just wandered lost at such great cost
Like sheep all gone astray
Children of the world it’s time for us to all unite
And live our dreams, fantastic schemes,
With marshmallow delight.
There is a plan for everyman
A plan to make us smile
Make time for play in everyday
‘Cause play is so worthwhile

School Bells
Robert Porembski & Kenneth Higgins
VERSE:
School bells will be ringin’ soon
Got to get back to be professor’s fool.
Leaves are falling and the weather’s getting’ cold,
Nothing really happens we just grow old.
But we’ll still keep in touch,
Though we won’t see each other much.
Writin’ our letters in our secret code!
CHORUS:
I’m just lookin’ forward to the summer months again.
Where all we do is play and love and dance with all our friends.
And we don’t have to worry about whether we pass or fail.
Because the only thing we’re concerned about, is whether it’s coke or ale.
VERSE:
Goin’ to the beach was really fun,
Hopin’ our song becomes number one.
And oh, those summer nights of love,
Sittin’ in my car with the moon above.
But all good things must end
‘Til summer comes again.
Winter this year is gonna be a little extra COLD!
CHORUS
VERSE:
But all good things must end
‘Til summer comes again.
Winter this year is gonna be a little extra COLD!
CHORUS
VAMP:
Ring, ring, ring, I hear the school bells ring (school bells ring)
Ring, ring, ring, I hear the school bells ring (school bells ring)

Out of Site, Out of Mind
Robert Porembski
VERSE:
A brown haired, blue eyed girl
Came into my life the other day.
Met her at a friends house, not too far away
I’d like to know her better, if I could.
And I know that I would love her
‘Cause love’s not hard to find.
CHORUS:
Well she may be out of site
But she’s not out of my mind.
BRIDGE
I’ve never met someone who was quite like her,
And I would love to love her and if that should occur well…
VERSE:
We’d have the most perfect love that you could ever find.
CHORUS:
Oh, she may be out of site
But she’s not out of my mind.

Wait and See
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Well it’s a long, long way
From New York to LA
But I’m comin’ if I can.
So in the meantime, keep in mind, that I’m your only man.
VERSE 2:
And if the goin’ gets rough
Until you’ve finally had enough,
Well, you know that you can call on me.
We’ll be together, yes we will.
Baby, wait and see.
Wait and see!
BRIDGE:
And all I’m asking you is to wait
Patiently, though we’re both far apart.
If you should ever quit on me,
You’d really break my heart!
VERSE 3:
So now remember what I say
And think about me everyday
‘Cause without you girl, I just can’t be.
We’re gonna make it, yes we will,
Baby, wait and see.
Wait and see! ……VAMP and END

Come Along, Let’s Wander
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
River is deep, the road is wide.
What else can you expect from life?
Standing still won’t make things change.
Go your way, though it may seem strange.
Make thinks better for you,
And when you do,
New turns to old and the old turns to new.
Why don’t you?...
CHORUS:
Come along, let’s wander
Up above and yonder.
We could sit and ponder
If we like to in the sun and as we
Lark about together,
We need not worry whether or not
We’ll have time to do the things
We might like to do,
‘Cause we’ll be free
We’ll be free.
VERSE 2:
Come with me and we’ll learn new things,
Fly together on gilded wings.
You’ll maybe laugh, you’ll maybe cry,
Want the reason? Come find out why…
It’s so easy to love,
No need to hate.
No longer feel like you have to wait.
When you can… CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Free that’s like the weather
One that’s where together life
Can be found! CHORUS

Teddy Bear
Robert Porembski & Kenneth Higgins
VERSE:
Teddy Bear upon the shelf
Ah, look how long you’ve stayed
Time has passed you by my friend
‘Til this your lucky day
Whenever I’d go past the shop
You always smiled at me
Pearl button eyes and a fuzzy nose
You walked by a golden key
BRIDGE:
You’re finally going to a home
I know you’ll like it there
And everything will be alright
“Cause they’ve got love to share
And you will be as happy as a Teddy Bear can be
The only thing I ask is that you
Please remember me!
VERSE:
Teddy Bear upon the shelf
Ah, look how long you’ve stayed
Time has passed you by my friend
‘Til this your lucky day
SOLO
REPEAT BRIDGE AND VERSE to END…

Somewhere In My Mind
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
CHORUS:
Somewhere in my mind
There’s a place where I can go.
A mystery place of Ferris wheels
Where magic carpets grow.
Peace and love and harmony
Are the things that I find there.
Wish my somewhere place was everywhere
For everyone to share.
VERSE 1:
It isn’t nice when things are bad.
You can’t feel good when you are sad.
It’s really hard to get by
In a world that makes you cry.
VERSE 2:
Whenever sadness comes my way,
I close my eyes and I fly away
To my somewhere place,
Where everything’s all right. CHORUS
VERSE 3:
I often think I’ll lose my mind
When I see love get left behind.
I wonder how can we last
When we don’t learn from the past?
VERSE 4:
If we could all work hand in hand
We’d make this world our somewhere land.
And we could have forever somewhere love.
CHORUS:
Somewhere in my mind
There’s a place where I can go.
A mystery place of Ferris wheels
Where magic carpets grow.
Peace and love and harmony
Are the things that I find there.
Wish my somewhere place was everywhere
For everyone to share.
Somewhere love for everyone.
A love that we can share.

Trinidad
Music & lyrics Robert Porembski
Lyrics Kenneth Higgins
VERSE 1:
Sometimes I sit and catch myself a driftin’,
To dreams of wind swept sands a shiftin’.
With beaches that are kissed by stars,
Where I can sit and play guitar.
It’s like a constant moving poem,
That forms the backdrop of a home.
Some restless spirit deep inside my heart,
Tells me, it’s time to depart – way-o-way…
CHORUS:
I gotta get me down to Trinidad.
From what I’ve heard, (you know) it’s not half bad.
When steel drums play, you simply can’t feel sad,
Down in Trinidad.
VERSE 2:
I see myself in this island dream
On the pure white sands of the Caribbean.
A tropical smile, just doesn’t seem so strange,
Amidst the beauty and the wonder of the mountain range.
The breath of a warm Parian breeze,
With miles and miles of endless seas.
Some restless spirit deep inside my heart
Tells me that it’s time to depart – way-o way…
BRIDGE:
Trinidad, Tobago and the Port of Spain,
All the emotion hits me like a hurricane.
My tongue stretches out for that drop of rain
And like sweet rum, it goes to my brain
VERSE 3:
Old man Ato sings calypso blues,
While hummingbirds deliver the Tyrico news.
Arimas carnivale shines along the sea,
The children laugh as they sneak in for free.
A distant drum plays a liet motif,
That stirs a mermaid on the Bucco Reef.
Some restless spirit deep inside my heart
Tells me that it’s time to depart – way-o way…
LAST CHORUS:
I gotta get me down to Trinidad.
And when I finally get there I know I’ll be glad
The sweetest chocolate that you’ve ever had
Down in Trinidad

Before You Go, Say You Love Me
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
Before you go,
Say you love me
And hold me to my promise
That I will love you so.
VERSE 2:
And when you leave,
I’ll remember
The things we’d done together
And when I’m feelin’ low –
BRIDGE:
All I have to do is think of you
And the sun comes shinin’ through.
The memories of
Being here with you.
VERSE 3:
Before you go, well I
Just want you to know
My heart will be with you
Where ever you may roam.
BRIDGE 2:
Little distances seem far away
When you love someone this way.
But you’ll come back one day
And you will stay!
VERSE 4:
So, before you, well I
Just want you to know
My heart will be with you
Wherever you may roam
How much you’ll mean to me
Where ever you may roam.

Maritime Tragedy
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
In a bleak and lonely lighthouse,
Skipper Thompson thinks of ships.
Of the many that have passed him by
On life’s curving ellipse.
VERSE 2:
Feeds his seagulls bits of herring,
While Ma Thompson fixes tea.
What will happen when they take his job,
When that light will flash electrically?
BRIDGE:
What will come of him?
Once that ship sails in?
It’s the ebb tide of his life.
After eighty years, he has no more tears,
He’s as dry as his ocean.
VERSE 3:
Now the island is deserted,
No more seagulls stop to play.
It’s as lonely as a place can be
Now that Skipper’s gone away –
Gone away.

What Can I Do?
Music & lyrics Robert Porembski
Lyrics Kenneth Higgins
CHORUS:
What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to show I care?
What can I do to make you see how much, how much I love you?
What can I do to show I’m there?
VERSE 1:
I write you letters in the sunshine
But to you I know that they don’t mean a thing.
You’re out there lookin’ for some rich man Romeo.
And so this poor man’s heart is forced to sing… CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I only hope and pray that there will come a day
We’ll be together, yes sir ee
I simply can’t conceive, that you believe that we are
Just not meant to be!
CHORUS:
What can I do to make you love me?
What can I do to show I care?
What can I do to make you see how much I love you?
What can I do to show I’m there?

Ramapo Valley Rapid Transit
Robert Porembski and Kenneth Higgins
VERSE 1:
Well pack your bags and follow me down to the station
And hop aboard for the ride of your life.
And you will see the “wonders” of the valley,
Where the trees, rocks and flowers and mountains all come alive.
CHORUS:
Ramapo Valley Rapid Transit,
There’s so much to see.
Ramapo Valley Rapid Transit,
Come and take a ride with me!
VERSE 2:
Well it’s not big and fancy and not too good lookin’.
And what it’s made of, we can’t really tell.
A home cooked meal and a batch of Sunday papers
And all those God fearin’ people gonna treat you well. CHORUS
VERSE 3:
Well once you’re there we know you’ll love “The Valley”.
And all those wondrous sights and sounds and smells..
‘Cause there ain’t too many places like “The Valley”
Come on, come in, relax, why don’t you set a spell?

Today I give my love to you, nobody else but you
And tomorrow brings us happiness, like we never knew

For you are bound in love to me

As I am bound to you.

Now I know how it feels to have the world
In the palm of your hand, nobody can
Tell me that I need anymore

For you are bound in love to me,
As I am bound to you.

Winding Roads
Music and lyrics by Robert Porembski
VERSE 1:
When I was young, I used to look to the road.
I looked for greener pastures and I
Searched the skies for stars that glowed.
I wasn’t satisfied, when I was home I sat and cried, was those
Winding roads, that I kept dreamin’ of.
VERSE 2:
When they called to me, I didn’t think twice.
I liked the finer things in life,
I thought those pleasures were quite nice.
I lived and loved and died
A thousand deaths from right inside, yet I
Had to ride that path of winding roads.
BRIDGE:
Mountain streams,
All my dreams,
Make me reminisce
Of the one I miss
And what there is left to be found.
VERSE 3:
A decade might have passed, or possibly more
And though I’m not much different I feel
Like I’ve never felt before.
And sometimes I still get the urge,
I wanna leave, get out and splurge, it’s those
Winding roads, that I keep dreamin’ of. Repeat BRIDGE and VERSE 3 and END
