Track 1 - Hot Pepper Sauce
Verse 1:
Hot pepper sauce will fix about anything
How else do you explain, how the buffalo lost their wings
I like it hot, hot
Hot, hot
Yea, hot pepper sauce, that’s the way to go
Verse 2:
Hot peppers sauce is the cure for anything that’s bland
But never rub your eyes, if you get it on your hands
Cause it’ll burn you
It’ll burn you
Oh yea, hot pepper sauce, I just want some more
Bridge 1:
Jalapeno, that’s pretty good stuff
Red Tabasco, its more than good enough
Habanera, now were playing rough
Hot pepper sauce, that’s the way to go
Bridge 2:
Jalapeno, that’s pretty good stuff
Red Tabasco, its more than good enough
Habanera, now were playing rough
Hot pepper sauce, that’s the way to go

Verse 1:
Just a Minute
yea, that’s all I want from you
Just a minute of your time I’m sure
I’m sure will chase away my blues
Verse 2:
Just a minute, yea, to sit and watch you smile,
And to listen to your voice and touch your hands
Look into your eyes a little while

Life has become so complicated, and out of control
No matter how hard I try
When I lose faith, I just need, to stand by your side
And I believe again

Just a minute, yea, that’s all I want from you
Oh, just a minute to wash a-way my blues, yea
Oh, just a minute will do

There ain’t nobody do what I can do
There ain’t nobody do what I can do
Nobody in the dog gone world can do what I can do
Verse 2:
There ain’t nobody, see what I can see
There ain’t nobody, see what I can see
Nobody in the dog gone world can see what I can see
Bridge:
Ooo, you get up in the morning and sit up in bed
Moaning something about coffee, with your hands held to your head
To me you look just fine, but to you look like a wreck
Verse 3:
There ain’t nobody, see what I can see
There ain’t nobody, see what I can see
The way you look at yourself, ain’t the way that you look to me
Verse 4:
There ain’t nobody, been through what we been through
There ain’t nobody, been through what we been through
Nobody in the world can see you like I do.
Track 4 – Reach Out
Verse 1:
Don’t know if I believe in an-gels that come down from the sky
But I believe in an-gels, cause I’ve known some in my life
You can always tell an angel even though they don’t have wings
There’s a kindness in their smile, they don’t care much about worldly things
Chorus:
And they reach out, nobody stands alone
And they reach out, no one does it all on their own
Yea, they reach out, reach out
Verse 2:
The sick, the fallen, the hungry and the lame,
The powerless, the weak the tortured and insane.
If you want to meet an angel, go to where misfortune is
Cause angels know they always get back more than they can give.
Chorus:
And reach out, nobody stands alone
And they reach out, no one does it on their own
Yea, they reach out, reach out
Verse 3:
You can always spot an angel, you don’t have to be a spy
They may not have two wings but they do know how to fly
It’s not hard to be an angel you really don’t need to have wings
Just give yourself to someone in need, in return don’t ask a thing
Chorus:
You’ve got to reach out, nobody stands alone
You’ve got to reach out, cause no one can do it all on their own
You’ve got to reach out, reach out
Chorus End:
Come on and reach out, no one can do it all on their own
You’ve got to reach out, nobody really can stand alone
You’ve got to reach out
Reach out
TRACK 5 – IT’S A HURRICANE
VERSE 1:
It's like a freight train and we're caught up in it's lights
But it’s a hurricane that's got us in its sights
Time to pack up our belongings find a place to hunker down to-night

It’s a hurricane so big there ain’t no place to run
Doesn’t matter anyway, cause all the gasoline is gone
They even stopped selling alcohol, and all the churches have shut-down
Bridge 1:
Well I’m telling you honey I’ve seen the damage that these things can do
Yea, I went down to the beach and huffed and puffed until my face was blue
Couldn't blow out to sea it’s going to go just what it wants to

Yea, Its a hurricane, could make a category five
Yea, I ain’t a praying man, but if it’ll help I’ll give it a try
Still in the outer bands but the airport have are closed to all flights
Bridge 1:
Yea, they give these things such friendly names like Donna, you know that just ain’t right
Retire names just like football jerseys, if their damage is of sufficient size
Yea, there ain’t no beauty in these beasts, they growl and only have one eye
It’s a hurricane
Verse 4:
Yea, it’s a hurricane and its starting to bear down
Just like a freight train hauling damage into town
Don’t want meet it at the station, in fact I don’t want to be around
Ending:
Yea, it’s a hurricane
Yea, a hurricane
It’s a hurricane It’s a hurricane

Hit everything, I shoot don’t even have to aim
Right now, I don’t have too much to say
Sometimes I just need to feel this way
Verse 2:
I don’t need no doctor I’m gonna be just fine
I don’t need an CAT Scan, X-ray or MRI
Right now my mind is just a million miles away
Sometimes I just need to feel this way

Gotta learn to win, gotta learn to lose
And everything’s gonna change, nobody can break that rule
The sun don’t shine on every single day
And sometimes I’m just gonna feel this way

But I’ll be just fine when the rooster crows at dawn
I ain’t got nothing but some low-down misery
And sometimes it’s gonna get the best of me

All the coal mines have shut down, steel mills are laying off
Verse 2:
You know I’ll be strong, daddy taught me his ways
You know I’ll be strong, daddy taught me his ways
And I swear to you momma, I’m gonna be back someday
Bridge:
Oh lord please tell me; will I see them all again
Oh lord please tell me; I’ll see them all again
Don’t want to leave this old house, but I just can’t become a burden
Verse 3:
Open your eyes momma, please open your eyes for me
It’s been so many years momma, please open your eyes for me
I’m right here by your side, just want your eyes to see.
Track 9 – Area Code 212
Verse 1:
Gonna change my address, and start out new
Moving into area code 212
Manhatan, that has a nice ring
If I'd only gotten here sooner,
24 bucks could bought the whole thing
Verse 2:
New York
LES, yea, the Lower East Side
Sixth floor apartment with a view of the sky-line
Looking at the city, still amazed at my luck
When I Got a 120-dollar ticket, on the moving truck
Verse 3:
New York
Yea, New York it’s a walking city
Get free entertainment just by strolling around
Low on cash, I put a coffee on my card,
It came with cream, sugar and a twenty dollar minimum charge
Bridge:
Now I got a job, smack dab in the middle of time square
I sold my old car, for a couple years of subway fare
Start working each day at eight, I'm always staying late
Its true what they say, there’s more hours in a day
Verse 4:
In New York, I do feel a little proud
Livin in NY, City, this city she has style
London, Paris, Rome, they all are very fine
But, as for me I think I need to be on Eastern Time
Verse 5:
New York, New York,
Yea, open day or night
New York, New York so important that you got to say it twice
Central Park, Lombardis, and Mc Sorleys can always make me smile
I’m liking it in Manhatan, think I’ll stick around awhile
Track 10 – Somebody’s Calling
Verse 1:
Somebody’s calling, I wonder who
Somebody’s calling, and it might be you
I should have gotten that caller ID, sure sounds like your ring to me
Probably a salesman, seeking things I can’t use
Feel bad when I hangup, so I’ll buy one or two
I should have gotten that caller ID, sure sounds like your ring to me
Bridge 1:
Ring number two, don’t know if I should pickup
Could be a collection agency
Ring number three, and I’m still quite mixed up
Sure sounds like your ring to me
Verse 2:
Somebody’s calling, it’s ring thirteen
I’m such a sucker for a charity
I should have gotten that caller ID
Sure sounds like your ring to me
Bridge 2:
Who could be calling, to let it ring that long
Must be a collection agency
What if it’s you, I don’t want to miss that call
And it could be you ringing me
Verse 3:
Somebody’s calling, I wonder who
Somebody’s calling, and it might be you
Wish I had gotten that caller ID,
I’d better pickup, hello baby it’s me
(Hello sir, how are you today)

Chorus:

Another winter and my car is bro- ken
It seems to happen all the time
The snow is falling and my feet are frozen
But everything is fine in Boca Ra-ton
Chorus:
Boca Raton, Boca Raton
Boca Raton, Boca Raton

They all got pools in their backyards
There’s nothing cold there but the frozen Mochas
And I just got this postcard from Boca Raton
Chorus:
Boca Raton, Boca Raton

Where I think I can make, all of my dreams come true
