My Dog Fuji 04:02
My Dog Fuji Wants To Ride The Bus...For Kids “This is a song about my dog Fuji, Now Fuji is a little dog with a big heart and the one thing he wants to do more than anything else in the world is ride a bus! And I’m Gonna Sing it For you” My dog Fuji wants to ride the bus Because he wants to be with us But that driver said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus. We tried to sneak him on one day But at the last minute he saw him and said he couldn’t stay But he said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus. Now Fuji knew a secret about him You see that driver and his son couldn’t swim But he said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus. One day Fuji was sitting down by the lake And there was the driver and his son eating cake But he said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus. Pretty soon that driver got tired and took a nap That’s when his boy went out on a rubber raft But he said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus. Suddenly that raft it sprung a leak And before long that boy was in water deep But he said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus. Then that boy he gave a big “Yelp” It woke up his father who turned around and said, “Help!” But he said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus So Fuji flew into action and grabbed a life vest And he jumped into the water and did his very best But he said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus Well Fuji took that vest to the boy And he kicked to shore to his father’s joy But he said, “No! He can’t go!” and ride the bus So the driver looked at Fuji said, “Thank you!” It seems I’ve made a mistake and misjudged you He said, “Yes! [stop for 2 measures] He can go!” and ride the bus Solo Well there’s a moral to this song you see things are better when Fuji comes along But He said, “Yes! He can go!” and ride the bus My dog Fuji wants to ride the bus Because he wants to be with us He said, “Yes! He can go!” and ride the bus He said, “Yes! He can go!” and ride the bus He said, “Yes! He can go!” and ride the bus “Come on Fuji, Let’s Go” Fuji Barks Bus starts engine and drives off

Pop 03:50
POP Christy Sings: The Rainbow, the rainbow, the rainbow [X3] Somewhere over the rainbow That’s where I left my life Somewhere over the rainbow I’m not gonna get there tonight I’m given up on searching for the truth It’s such a waste of time So I’ll just pop cause I can’t wait I’m certain that I’ll be fine…Oh my Lydon’s Verse: Yeah, maybe you should take a moment, maintain focus, Realize life ain’t always painted golden, Hopeless as it seems droppin “E” is no solution Hard to find clarity with the mind polluted. Illusions of ecstasy, not quite what it’s meant to be, Who knows what chemicals are thrown up in the recipe? Tempting of me to take a pill for a quick fix, Nothing worthwhile in life is learned in and instant. Christy Sings: Somewhere over the rainbow That’s where I left my life Somewhere over the rainbow I’m not gonna get there tonight I Popped more times than... I can count Lost my rhyme and... filled with doubt So I’ll just stop and ...figure it out I’m certain that I’ll be fine...Oh my Lydon’s Verse: Yeah, to live and learn is to make mistakes, But to build on those lessons is to gain strength. Life is a grey space, It can’t always be pleasant. It’s where you choose the face to head on and address it. Depression can linger from the Thizzle-Molly, Brain patterns slows, still inflicts your body. Rollin down that road that the flagrant type, Substances E is laced with can take your life. Your body is a temple, you know something sacred This is no replacement, the concept is basic. Make your statement through action, Yo that’s what’s crackin. Bring positives to the forefront of fashion Passion for this world uninhibited and true, It’s discovered deep down, livin within you. So when those dark days arrive with competence and purpose, You’ll find that sunshine of that much I’m certain. Alright, that’s it right there

The Apple of My Eye Verse 1: We met one day in San Jose, so long ago She gave me the sweetest smile Right_then_I_knew she’s the one for me, And we sealed our love in style Chorus A: All the times that we’ve had together Seems just a moment in our lives But the time at hand my love is when you are by my side Verse 2: She said to me, “Here’s our baby to hold and play, just keep her by your heart.” I said, “Now darling don’t you fret, she’ll be my most important part.” Chorus A: Verse 3: We played and lived and danced all night And time went by you see Then our baby gave us a tiny boy He’s been our youthful key. Chorus A: Verse [Instrumental Piano Solo] Chorus A: All the times that we’ve had together Seems just a moment in our lives But the time, at hand, my love is when you are by my side Verse 4: She came_to_me, and said, “I think I’m getting old.” And then she began to cry I said, “now Darling don’t you fret.” You’re still the apple of my eye Chorus B: All the times that we’ve had together Seems just a moment in our lives But the one thing I’ll miss the most Is that you were by my side Verse 5: She held my hand and said, “I’m sorry but I have to go,” and then she closed her eyes.... I miss that girl from my home town Did I tell you she was the apple of my eye Final Chorus: All the times that we’ve had together Seems just a moment in our lives But the one thing I need to say is that I Love you Goodbye my love Sleep tight my love

about

Music has been Larry's passion since he started playing at 15 but not his profession. Three years ago his friend sent him his mastered CD. He was amazed by how incredible it sounded, and the musicians that backed him. Cutting an album of his most recent songs has been the only thing on his bucket list. So he started saving money, finding musicians for hire, and notated his tunes. In June, 2019 he headed to “Rue Henry” recording Studio to fulfill his dream come true. Now after 7+ months, 36 musicians, and great engineering and mastering feats, He and his band, LJ's All-Star Revue, are ready to present his 12 songs plus one instrumental version bonus track

Music is the language of our soul.
