ROCK LOVER (Bergey) I’m down to the ground It’s two below Try to make a sound But I’m much too low I’m flying high I’m far above her Don’t want to die I’m a rock lover Chorus: I’m a rock lover well don’t you know I’m a rock lover I love it so I’m a rock lover I’m not over the hill I’m a rock lover I really love it still I’m high in the sky It’s two above I think I might die If I don’t get love I’m flying low I want to hover Don’t want to go I’m a rock lover (Chorus) Love rock. love roll, Love rock. love roll. Love rock ‘n’ roll Love rock ‘n’ roll I’m down to the ground It’s two below Try to make a sound But I’m much too low I’m flying high I’m far above her Don’t want to die I’m a rock lover I’m a rock lover well don’t you know I’m a rock lover I love it so I’m a rock lover I’m not over the hill I’m a rock lover against your will

I’M GONNA COME BACK (Bergey) You’ll never be my goodbye girl I’m not going around the world I’m only going to the coast And I’m gonna make it big I’m leaving for a little while Not long enough to miss your smile I’ll only be away for a bit Yes I’m gonna make it big Chorus: I’m gonna come back when I miss you So much I can barely speak I’m gonna come back when I miss you So bad it may be a week You’ll never be my goodbye girl I’m not going around the world I’m only going to the coast And I’m gonna make it big I’ll never be your goodbye boy This trip shouldn’t contain much joy I’ve got to get my start from someplace Yes, I’m gonna make it big Chorus You’ll never be my goodbye girl I’m not going around the world I’m only going to the coast And I’m gonna make it big Never be the one left behind There’s a future in what I find I’ll be sending for you and the boy Yeh, we’re gonna make it big Chorus x 2

Pink Tinkle 02:28
PINK TINKLE (Bergey) Pink, pink tinkle She could lead a parade Pink, pink tinkle Sell the most lemonade Pink, pink tinkle Hear her from miles away Pink, pink tinkle She could command a raid She doesn’t have an inside voice She doesn’t give us a choice And if her name sounds ironic It’s because she’s supersonic Pink, pink tinkle Screamed her way to the top Pink, pink tinkle Speaks bull in a china shop Pink, pink tinkle No shrinking violet Pink, pink tinkle Won’t be named diplomat She always stands out in a crowd She doesn’t even know she’s loud And if her name sounds ironic It’s because she’s supersonic But late at night She gets quiet Whispers softly I want to try it And in the dark She makes no sound She holds my hand As we go to town Pink, pink tinkle She could lead a parade Pink, pink tinkle Sell the most lemonade (x2)

Indian Train 02:54
INDIAN TRAIN (Bergey) I could jet in from Jacksonville Rent a car and park it in Phoenix Oklahoma City’s awfully nice But man I’ve already seen it I can hover over Hollywood And climb the mountains in Santa Fe San Francisco's awfully high But that's no place to stay Chorus: I’m gonna hop on my Indian Train Leave my worries behind I’m gonna stay on my Indian Train See my sweet little Lulu at the end of the line Denver might be a mile high Remind me to pack a can of air Las Vegas is awfully bright But man I've already lost there Chorus I had an Indian summer Out on an Indian lake I was with an Indian giver It was give and take I could jet in from Jacksonville Rent a car and park it in Phoenix Oklahoma City’s awfully nice But man I’ve already seen it I can hover over Hollywood And climb the mountains in Santa Fe San Francisco's awfully high But that's no place to stay Chorus

THIRD WORLD GIRL (Bergey) Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy Kiss the young boys make them cry Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy Passage to the west -- nice try I wish I could go to her But I'd have to catch a plane Buy two tickets at the counter I'd have to try to explain Chorus: She's my Third World Girl And I love her because of that She's my Third World Girl But there's got to be more than that I want to take her to my home But I have to ask her dad Give him something to get him by Before we head for the pad I want to show her to my friends But I don't want to compete How can you win a love for life In the jungles of defeat? (Chorus) Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy Kiss the young boys make them cry Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy Passage to the west -- nice try

It’s A Lonely World (Bergey) You screen all your friends Yea - you won’t let them in Your life is like a sieve It’s coming back at you again You live by yourself Yea - how do you live alone? You sit there just hopin’ And waiting for a call on the phone It’s a lonely world It’s a lonely world It’s a lonely world You have no lovers Yea - nothing to speak of One thing you should look for A woman with a special kind of love You lost your family Yeh – they no longer care And when it’s all over You can count on them not being there It’s a lonely world It’s a lonely world It’s a lonely world You screen all your friends Yea - you won’t let them in Your life is like a sieve It’s coming back at you again You live by yourself Yea - how do you live alone? You sit there just hopin’ And waiting for a call on the phone It’s a lonely world It’s a lonely world It’s a lonely world

SOMETHING PRETTY IN EVERY GIRL (Bergey) Chorus: I find something pretty in every girl With no one exception in this world Short ones, tall ones, with or without a curl I find something pretty in every girl And I know when I’m on the go All I see are girls pretty And my gal says you cut that out But I can’t as I rave and rant (Chorus) My eyes strain when I’m off the plane All I see are girls pretty At the mall I look at them all Won’t get caught – wear the shades I bought I’m a sparkling example on how to trample Over a young girls heart I’m not too proud of the fact, I can’t take it back I must be true from the start Never bored when I’m at the store All I see are girls pretty At the beach they are all in reach I won’t touch but this is too much Chorus

about

Finally! I chew my own gum!
Sometimes I think I was born with bubblegum music on the brain! It was during the Classic Bubblegum Music period of the late 60's and early 70's that, as a young teen, I started to write songs inspired by the yummy, yummy, yummy, chewy, chewy, sugar, sugar singles I was hearing on AM radio. It makes sense that many years later, I should devote a whole album to my first musical crush, right? Right?

The songs on Bubblegum High are retro and futuristic, sweet and sour and bad for your teeth! And . . . four out of five Andy's agree!

Andrew Bergey Denver, Colorado

After fronting the Oklahoma alt-rockers Rank Amateurs, Andrew Bergey moved to Colorado and started releasing solo albums in 2011. His clever, quirky, and surreal songs have forged “standard” rock albums, a bubblegum album, a children’s album, a premature anthology, and a cover album of his own songs! Why not? Andrew’s albums are always unexpected, experimental, and ear-wormingly entertaining! ... more
