"Pizza Angel"

Intro: Got the munchies on that fateful night. So I phoned in a pizza for delivery. But I had a feeling that something wasn't right cause I waited for hours.... no pizza.

Verse 1 I set he table with a paper plat. How would I know that it'd be late? I've waited so long, where could it be. Had a thirty minute guarantee.

Chorus: Pizza Angel pleases come to me. Tomato sauce and cheese so gooey. Pizza Angel I'm on my knees. You're my number one pie from Sicily.

Verse 2: Did it get lost? Did they just forget? should I have ordered on the internet? Ready for dinner Now I'm not so sure. I think my soda's room temperature.

Chorus; Pizza Angel please come to me.(come to me) Tomato sauce and cheese so gooey. Pizza Angel I'm on my knees (on my knees) And don't forget to add my favorite
anchovies.

Bridge: I was concerned for my delivery. Eight little slices of heaven for me. Can't stop thinking it will make me smile. When I taste me first Chicago style. Goin'
crazy while I pase the floor. And then my heart skips when I heard the door.

Talking: I opened the door in expectations but it was the saddest sight I ever saw. I could still smell the sweet aroma of deep dish goodness. But the box was empty. "Uh your house number was broken so I couldn't find you. I was getting kind of hungry so i uh ate your pizza. Sorry about that. You don't need to tip me or anything."

Chorus: Pizza Angel please come to me (come to me) Tomato sauce and cheese so gooey. Pizza Angel I'm on my knees (on my knees) You'll live forever in my memory. Pizza Angel please come to me (come to me) Tomato sauce and cheese so gooey. Pizza Angel I'm on my knees (on my knees) I will miss you for eternity.

"Voyage"

I am a sailor
you're my first mate
we signed on together
we coupled our fate
Hauled up our anchor
determined not to fail
for the heart's treasure
together we set sail.

With no maps to guide us
we steered our own course
we rode out the storms
when the winds were gale force
sat out the doldrums
in patience and hope
working together
we learned how to cope

Chorus
Life is an ocean
love is a boat
in troubled waters
keeps us afloat
when we started this voyage
there was just me and you
now gathered round us
we have our own crew

Together we're in this relationship
we built it with care
and to last the whole trip
Our true destination's
not marked on any chart
we're navigating
for shores of the heart

"The Gated Community"


Narrator: And now it's time for Silly Songs with Larry, the part of the show where Larry comes out and sings a Silly Song.


Some off-screen singer: There once was a boy
Who lived in a house
And the house sat under a tree
By the tree ran a fence that stretched far and wide
Round the gated community

Larry: Can I have my ball?
Can you get my ball?
I kicked it into the tree
And my ball bounced up
And my ball dropped in
To the Gated Community

Community folk: Oh! The Gated Community
Is where we like to be
Everything's so lovely
Oh, our hearts are filled with glee
And when you come to visit
You can stand outside and see
What a lovely bunch we are
In our gated unity!

Larry: Um...
Can I have my ball?
Can you get my ball?
I kicked it into the tree
And my ball bounced up
And my ball dropped in
To the Gated Community

Community folk: Oh! The Gated Community
Is where we like to be
Our clothes are never dirty
And the lawns are always green
And when you come to visit
You can stand outside and see
What a tidy bunch we are
In our gated unity!
The Gated Community
We think you will agree
Is pleasantly devoid
Of unsightly stray debris

Garbage man: Free, free of debris!

Community folk: The Gated Community
Is where we'll always be
Our smiles are white
Cause we're inside
In comfy custody
And when you come to visit
You can stand outside and see...

Community fellow (to garbage man): Come on, you stand outside...

Community folks: What a smiling bunch we are
In our gated unity!

Larry: Can I have my ball?
Can you get my ball?

Community folks: Oh, the Gated Community
Is where we like to be

Larry: I kicked it into the tree

Community folks: Our lives are made perfect
By a hefty entrance fee

Larry: And my ball bounced up
And my ball dropped in

Community folk: And when you come to visit
You can stand outside and see

Larry: To the gated commu--

Community folk: What a lovely bunch we are

Larry: To the gated commu--

Community folk: What a happy bunch we are

Folks and Larry: To the Gated Community!

Narrator: This has been Silly Songs with Larry.

Community fellow: Oh, look! A ball!

"I Will Sing of My Redeemer,"

Phil­ip P. Bliss


I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His wondrous love to me;
On the cruel cross He suffered,
From the curse to set me free.

Refrain

Sing, oh sing, of my Redeemer,
With His blood, He purchased me.
On the cross, He sealed my pardon,
Paid the debt, and made me free.

I will tell the wondrous story,
How my lost estate to save,
In His boundless love and mercy,
He the ransom freely gave.

Refrain

I will praise my dear Redeemer,
His triumphant power I’ll tell,
How the victory He giveth
Over sin, and death, and hell.

Refrain

I will sing of my Redeemer,
And His heav’nly love to me;
He from death to life hath brought me,
Son of God with Him to be.

Refrain

Isaiah 40

Comfort for God's People
1 Comfort, comfort my people,
says your God.

2 Speak tenderly to Jerusalem,
and proclaim to her
that her hard service has been completed,
that her sin has been paid for,
that she has received from the LORD's hand
double for all her sins.

3 A voice of one calling:
"In the desert prepare
the way for the LORD [a] ;
make straight in the wilderness
a highway for our God. [b]

4 Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.

5 And the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
and all mankind together will see it.
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

6 A voice says, "Cry out."
And I said, "What shall I cry?"
"All men are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field.

7 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
because the breath of the LORD blows on them.
Surely the people are grass.

8 The grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of our God stands forever."

9 You who bring good tidings to Zion,
go up on a high mountain.
You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, [c]
lift up your voice with a shout,
lift it up, do not be afraid;
say to the towns of Judah,
"Here is your God!"

10 See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power,
and his arm rules for him.
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.

11 He tends his flock like a shepherd:
He gathers the lambs in his arms
and carries them close to his heart;
he gently leads those that have young.

12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand,
or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens?
Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket,
or weighed the mountains on the scales
and the hills in a balance?

13 Who has understood the mind [d] of the LORD,
or instructed him as his counselor?

14 Whom did the LORD consult to enlighten him,
and who taught him the right way?
Who was it that taught him knowledge
or showed him the path of understanding?

15 Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket;
they are regarded as dust on the scales;
he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust.

16 Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires,
nor its animals enough for burnt offerings.

17 Before him all the nations are as nothing;
they are regarded by him as worthless
and less than nothing.

18 To whom, then, will you compare God?
What image will you compare him to?

19 As for an idol, a craftsman casts it,
and a goldsmith overlays it with gold
and fashions silver chains for it.

20 A man too poor to present such an offering
selects wood that will not rot.
He looks for a skilled craftsman
to set up an idol that will not topple.

21 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?

22 He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

23 He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.

24 No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

25 "To whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?" says the Holy One.

26 Lift your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one,
and calls them each by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.

27 Why do you say, O Jacob,
and complain, O Israel,
"My way is hidden from the LORD;
my cause is disregarded by my God"?

28 Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The LORD is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.

29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

History Behind "Danny Boy"

Danny Boy is the story of a father who has 4 boys. The eldest 3 have all gone
off to war and been killed. Now the youngest, Danny all of 16 years old is old enough to go to war himself (the pipes, the pipes of war are calling him). His father knows the odds and realizes that Danny too will probably be a casualty. In the event Danny lives however, the father knows he’s so old and broken hearted at the prospects of losing all his sons that he will die of a broken heart. This is his farewell song to his youngest son.
