TIME TO WAKE UP
(Bergey)
Chorus:
Time to wake up little girl
Time to greet the brand-new day
Time to wake up little girl
Because bed is no place to stay
There’s so many things you want to do
So many things you haven’t tried
I know you’re looking forward to school
I can’t always be by your side
Through a world of candy canes
Snow catching on window panes
To balance teeter-totter
The wonder of a daughter
Skipping away down learning lanes
Time to wake up little girl
Time to put on your new dress
Time to wake up little girl
For mommy we must look our best
There’s so many things you want to do
So many things you haven’t tried
I know you’re looking forward to school
Until then let me be your guide
Through a maze of make-believe
Winding down school steps I weave
I’m not sure I can let you go
I want to know what you know
Tell me when it’s time to leave

SWEETEST GIRL
(Bergey)
What if the world doesn’t want to be the world today?
And the sky doesn’t want to drop down to say hey
Maybe the trees don’t want to reach out towards the sun
Rivers and streams find very little reason to run
Chorus:
But don’t tell me there’ll be a day
When little girls refuse to be sweet
My little girl she has a way
She’s the sweetest girl you’ll ever meet
What if a mountain refused to stand up straight?
And a sun that didn’t mind being a little late
An ocean that would rather curl up and take a nap
And a dream only big enough to fit in your lap
Chorus

WISE OWL
(Bergey)
If you’ve got problems at home
Call me on the phone
I’ll be right on the way
Without a delay
I will
If you’ve got thoughts in your head
You wish you were dead
Don’t hesitate to call
Be right on the ball
I will
Ask this Wise Owl
I’ll fly to the ground
I’ll turn around
Ask this Wise Owl
If you’ve got questions in mind
You know all the time
Well I’ve got news for you
It’s that we all do
I know
If you’ve got something to say
Can’t wait another day
I’m always here to talk
Or just take a walk
Let’s go

PURPLE PANTS
(Bergey)
Here comes Miss Purple Pants
Getting ready for the dance
Here comes Miss Blue Eyes
Looking up into the sky
And what do you think she sees
Green worm grass and lollipop trees
Soft inviting hills to stand
Rolling over to Dizzy Land
Here comes Mister White Shirt
Getting ready for his work
Before he starts his car
He looks at his shining star
And what do you think he sees
A calling out pile of leaves
A few more minutes can’t hurt
And he can always change his shirt
Here comes Miss Purple Pants
She is ready for the dance
Before she has to go
She trips over a rainbow
And what do you think she sees
Pretty ticos on her sleeves
And with every dance she tries
She is with her favorite guy

INFINITY PLUS ONE
(Bergey)
When I was
Just a kid
I stretched the truth
A million
Times I lied
About my youth
Once steadies
Now strangers
We never strayed
Remember
A stupid
Game that we played?
Chorus:
I'd say I would love you
Every day there's sun
You'd say "Infinity"
I'd say "Infinity plus one"
My mom said
I should not
Exaggerate
My dad said
All good things
Come if you wait
And then you
Showed me that
You are the one
No more games
Won’t keep track
We both have won

MELVIN THE BEAR
(Bergey)
It's Melvin the bear
He doesn't much care
Front and center in your bed
He's furry and fluffy
So cute and puffy
Always dancing in your head
In one of two poses
Eyes never closes
Looking out for stray pillows
It's Melvin the bear
He doesn't much care
Front and center in your bed
He’s stuffed with soft cotton
All others forgotten
Prizes won when dad played
And when he’s so reclined
Always so inclined
Reflecting on his day

MR. RAINBOW
(Bergey)
Mr. Rainbow
Why don’t you show your colors?
You’re hangin’ out with others
Your faded twin
Mrs. Downpour
You’ve got some leaves to gather
Spillin’ out if they’d rather
Can’t keep them in
You’ve got a wonderview
You’ve got a wonderview
That’s the wonder of you
Daddy Dewdrop
You do more before daybreak
Bare-footin’ on grass to wake
Your sunny friend
Mother Sprinkle
Your afternoon surprises
Clouds forming in small sizes
A perfect end
You’ve got a wonderview
You’ve got a wonderview
That’s the wonder of you
Mr. Rainbow
You’re surfing on a sunbeam
Pointing to something unseen
A golden day

I LOVE YOU THE BIGGEST
(Bergey)
I love you the biggest
I love you with all my heart
I love you the biggest
Daddy take me to the park
Gonna make you a deal
Depending how we feel
We’ll take you to the park
As long as it’s not dark
Daylight we must steal
I love you the biggest
I love you more everyday
I love you the biggest
Mommy take me out to play
The slide is much too fast
Faster than in the past
All I can do is try
Keep on watching the sky
Let’s make this day last
I love you the biggest
I love going to the park
I love you the biggest
And let’s bring our buddy Spark

LET’S DANCE NOW
(Bergey)
Chorus:
Come on baby let’s dance now
Come on baby let’s dance now
Come on baby let’s dance now
Come on baby let’s dance dance dance
Dance dance dance
Twist and boogie
All around
Shake with yourself
‘til you hit the ground
You rock and roll
All the night
You twist and shout
‘til it’s finally day light
Chorus
Shimmy and shake
What you got
All that you’ve tried
That’s a lot
Bend and break it
Hip and hop
Please get tired
Don’t you stop
Chorus

YOU’VE GOT TO BE YOU
(Bergey)
Your parents want you to be a doctor
But you don’t want to be
You want to be an actor
They tell you what that’s worth
They put you through the whole college routine
For what seems twenty years
You find that you don’t like it
But now it’s way too late
Chorus:
Be what you want to be
Do what you want to do
It’s hard for you to see
That you’ve got to be you
Now you find yourself in your own practice
Watch TV when you can
Want to act in the movies
Run away from it all
Your parents want to see you as a nurse
But you don’t want to be
You want to be an actress
They tell you what that’s worth
Chorus:
Be what you want to be
Do what you want to do
It’s hard for you to see
That you’ve got to be you
Now you find yourself with a doctor who
Watches TV all day
Both want to be movie stars
Runaway together

LIFE WILL GO ON
(Bergey)
You’re making a D in history
You’re making an F, yeh, right and left
Don’t be a fool
There’s a reason for school
You’re telling a lie, no reason why
To your best friend, it’s not the end
Don’t be afraid
You’re just lucky she stayed
Chorus:
And life – will go on
And life – will go on
Didn’t bring your lunch, I have a hunch
They’ll let you slide, forget your pride
Just be funny
There’s no matter in money
You’re late for the bus, no need to cuss
They’ll save you a seat, next to the heat
So stay behind
There’s no matter in time
Chorus:
And life – will go on
And life – will go on

FREDRIKA IS LOOSE AGAIN
(Bergey)
Fredrika is loose again
Fredrika is loose again
Thought they had her locked up for good
Fredrika is loose again
She’s climbing her cage in the zoo
Because there’s nothing much to do
Never let her miss a meal
Got her swinging on a wheel
Someone left the gate unlatched
With her sharp eyes she is unmatched
Soon she finds public transport
To her this is not a sport
Fredrika is loose again
Fredrika is loose again
Thought they had her locked up for good
Fredrika is loose again
Can’t read the language on the sign
Got more than bananas on her mind
Makes her way to the countryside
So many places for her to hide
This time they may never find her
She’s very clever that’s for sure
Easily outsmarted them all
She answered mother nature’s call
Fredrika is loose again
Fredrika is loose again
Thought they had her locked up for good
Fredrika is loose again
And, by the way . . .
Where’s Wallace?

SHE’S SWEET
(Bergey)
Because she’s sweet that is why
I call her my sweet little pumpkin pie
Because she’s sweet that is how
I call her my sweet little chocolate cow
Because she’s sweet that is what
I call her my sweet little pink donut
Because she’s sweet that is when
I call her my sweet little gum garden
Because she’s sweet that is where
I call her my sweet little Polly Pear
Because she’s sweet that is who
I call her my sweet little Skip-To-My-Lou

GREEN METAL TURTLE
(Bergey)
The green metal turtle
Is gripping the sand
Not close to the ocean
But not on firm land
The green metal turtle
Much cooler at night
It can offer some shade
It will never bite
The green metal turtle
Hiding from the sun
Kicking off our flip-flops
Watch us really run
The green metal turtle
Kids climbing under
Some of us are pirates
With pail we plunder
The green metal turtle
Must apply lotion
The fish are not biting
Don’t fear the ocean
The green metal turtle
Good place for hiding
Next summer we’ll forget
We’re surfboard riding

PRETTY LITTLE EYES
(Bergey)
Time to close your pretty little eyes
No good reason to put up a fight
And I’ve already kissed you good night
Time to close your pretty little eyes
Time to close your pretty little eyes
That was a good book I must admit
And I like how you read most of it
Time to close your pretty little eyes
Well before dawn
I saw your light on
You’re worried about your visit
Packed your own bag
I know it’s a drag
But we really shouldn’t miss it
Time to close your pretty little eyes
Let your blankets cover your disguise
Bed before midnight that would be wise
Time to close your pretty little eyes
Every trip we make
Know how long it takes
A long and winding road ahead
The stories you tell
They rest with me well
Remember everything you said
Time to close your pretty little eyes
If there’s pain, I’ll try it on for size
In this life you are daddy’s prize
Time to close your pretty little eyes

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
