SWIMAWAY
(Lyrics: David Lefkowitz. Music: Solomon Linda’s “Mbube,” The Weavers’s “Wimoweh,” and The Tokens’s “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”)
Indonesia, in Indonesia the water sweeps tonight
Southern Thailand is now bye-bye land
The water sweeps tonight
Swimaway swimaway swimaway swimaway
Swimaway swimaway swimaway swimaway
In Malaysia and Southeast Asia
They cry and weep all night
Terra firma no more in Burma
The water sweeps tonight
Grab a rock, grab a bush
Scale a wall, save your tush
Grab your wife, grab your kid Ride a whale, ride a squid
Trees
Climb `em please or you will swim away
If you sneeze, leave your keys
`cause you will swim away
First you bloat, then you sink
Then you float, then you stink
First you bloat, then you sink
Then you float, then you stink
Sharks are noshing on bodies washing onto the sticky sand
They beg the West to help find the rest
But when did they lend us a hand?
Up the stairs, don’t delay
Say your prayers, wash away
Hear the screams, hear the moans
Say hello to Davy Jones
Squeeze a brick wall, please
Until it tumbles down
By degrees, bowel disease will get those who don’t drown
Hear the gunshots, the rebel gunshots
As mourners dig mass graves
(Everybody!)
Devastation means exploitation
That’s just how men behave
Politics, dirty tricks
Profiteers, bandoliers
Angry fists, terrorists
Blood and fire, mud and mire
Swimaway Swimaway
Gotta be a better way
Swimaway Swimaway
Gotta be a better way.
(mix trilling with gasping and gurgling, and then)

MY DOGGY’S CHRISTMAS GIFT
by David Lefkowitz
(spoken) So here it is, just weeks away from Christmas. You’ve shopped for your family, your friends, your special friends, and even bought a trinket for yourself. But oh my gracious, haven’t you forgotten someone? Someone close to you. Loyal, playful, full of love every day of the year. What, oh what will you offer your canine companion?
You can give your dog a toy that would make him leap with joy Or sneak your mutt a mutton cut of prime But when Christmas has come, something special must be done Sometimes tasteful, not expensive but sublime.
You can spend a pretty dollar on a doghouse or a collar You can pamper her or groom him till he glows But the thing I like to do – and I know that he will, too, Is to share the gift of love that overflows.
I’m gonna give my dog an enema for Christmas All dressed up in a Santa Claus disguise Each yuletide without fail, I lift my doggy’s tail And give his little poop chute a surprise.
I’m gonna fill his little anus up with bubbles And rinse his small intestines out with cream I’ll sing a little ode as Bowser’s bowels explode It makes the yuletide pass just like a dream.
I’m gonna pump my pooch with barium for Christmas. And spike it with a pint or two of gin I’ll grease him up with lube, and then insert the tube And stroke his furry muzzle as the tide rolls in.
I’m gonna squeeze the water deep into his anus No longer will he constipated be I’ll pump until he’s sore, and then I’ll squirt some more And maybe save a drop or two for me.
Now, some express dismay at this holiday display They say, “Dave, perhaps the doggy is in pain?” I say, “Yes, he starts in grief, but my goodness, the relief When his doggy doos go doodling down the drain.”
And so I give my dog an enema each Christmas And squeeze the bag of Fleet with all my might As gobs of Christmas cheer come flying out his rear I say, “Merry diarrhea, and to all, a good shite!”
And if you’re wondering what gift to get your spaniel Or how to make a wolfhound howl with glee Buy a nozzle and a bowl and k.y. for his hole And douche your pooch beneath the Christmas tree. I guarantee: you’ll have a merry, messy yuletide spree Yessirree, an excremental Christmas memory.
