If a sandwich was a pillow then the bread would be the pillow case If a sandwich was a letter then the bread would be the walls of the "H" If a sandwich was a planet then the crust would be the crust If a sandwich was a friendship then the bread would be the trust If a sandwich was two sandwiches then you would have too much to eat.

There's a knot in the lace of my shoe And I'm not exactly sure what to do To undo what I've done It's a really tricky one There's a knot in the lace of my shoe There's a knot in the lace of my shoe And I'm not exactly sure what to do To undo what I've done It's a really tricky one There's a knot in the lace of my shoe How did I ever get into this mess? Don't want to ask for help. I tied it a little too tight I guess. I can't believe All the trouble I got All because I tied a double knot Now I have one foot that's cold and one that's not It's hot. There's a knot in the lace of my shoe And I'm not exactly sure what to do To undo what I've done It's a really tricky one There's a knot in the lace of my shoe Can you undo what I've done? It's a really tricky one There's a knot in the lace of my shoe

Well the rain has to fall 'cause we need all the water But why's it have to fall in the middle of the day? I prefer rain at night when it falls like it oughta So I can hear it on the roof as I try to drift asleep And the roof gets wet the house gets wet the trees get wet the grass gets wet the flowers gets wet the skunk gets wet the driveway gets wet the window gets wet Drops in a puddle create circles inside circles And drops on the pavement look like little crowns When it rains on our street, there are streams by the sidewalks Our own personal rivers that rush into town And the town gets wet The streets get wet The buildings get wet The people get wet The umbrellas get wet Tips of shoes get wet The cars get wet The trucks get wet The dogs get wet The cats get wet The birds get wet The fish get wet The policeman gets wet The mailbox gets wet The bikes get wet The hats get wet The kids get wet The signs get wet The schools get wet The library gets wet The stones get wet The mountains get wet The beaches get wet The bridges get wet The grave stones get wet The squirrels get wet The stores get wet

I’m walking through the village in my Beatles T-Shirt My Beatles T-Shirt, my Beatles T-Shirt I’m walking through the village in my Beatles T-Shirt I’ve made a big mistake. I’m getting crazy looks from a farmer and a horse A farmer and a horse, a farmer and a horse I’m getting crazy looks from a farmer and a horse I’ve made a big mistake. Everybody knows when you’re traveling in time You have to wear the proper clothes Everybody knows when you’re traveling in time You have to wear the perfect clothes I’m running to the castle with my sneakers on My sneakers on, my sneakers on I’m running to the castle with my sneakers on I’ve made a big mistake Standing on the drawbridge there’s a group of knights A gang of knights, big angry knights Standing on the drawbridge there’s a group of knights I’ve made a big mistake Chorus They take me to kneel before the king Kneel before the king, kneel before the king They make me kneel before the king Cause I made this big mistake The king asks me if I’m a traveling fool A traveling fool, a traveling fool The king asks me if I’m a traveling fool “Why yes,” I say, “I am.” Chorus The king asks me to perform a trick A magic trick, an amusing trick The king commands me to perform a trick To prove I’m a traveling fool So I push the button on my time travel belt My time travel belt, my time travel belt So I push the button on my time travel belt And disappear in a puff of smoke.

Hot and stuffy Hot and stuffy This room is so Hot and stuffy Throw open the window Throw it open wide Let’s let all of the fresh air inside Cold and Breezy Cold and Breezy This room is so Cold and Breezy Oh, close the window Close the window tight Let’s keep all of the fresh air outside. Hot and stuffy Hot and stuffy This room is so Hot and stuffy Let’s crack the window Just a little bit Let’s let some of that fresh air inside Nice and comfy Nice and comfy This room is so Nice and comfy

I am so glad I found my hat. I am so glad I found my hat. Now I can go out in the snow And I won't be so terribly cold. I am so smitten, I found my mitten. I am so smitten, I found my mitten. Now I can go out in the snow And I won't be so awfully cold. Oh how I love, I found my glove. Oh how I love, I found my glove. Now I can go out in the snow And I won't be so dreadfully cold. I don't want to gloat, but I found my coat. I don't want to gloat, but I found my coat. Now I can go out in the snow And I won't be so horribly cold. I'd like to hoot, I found my boot. I'd like to hoot, I found my boot. Now I can go out in the snow And I won't be so uncomfortably cold.

All I want to do Is show you my routine That I made up for climbing this snowbank All I want to do Is show you my routine That I made up for climbing this snowbank It’s getting dark It’s getting late It’s getting cold But I’m not cold at all. All I want to do Is show you my routine That I made up for climbing this snowbank It’s getting dark It’s getting late It’s getting cold But I’m not cold at all. First you jump over there If you’re lucky you can fly through the air Then you land in that pile If you were here I’m sure you’d smile at me You’d smile. All I want to do Is show you my routine That I made up for climbing this snowbank It’s getting dark It’s getting late It’s getting cold But I’m not cold at all.

Night is a blanket, softer than anything Everyone's sleeping Even the cacti are dreaming It's just me and the crickets Night is a blanket but I'm not ready for sleeping Night is a blanket, warmer than anything Everyone's sleeping Even the snowmen are dreaming It's just me and the nightlight Night is a blanket but I'm not ready for sleeping Night is a blanket but I'm not ready for sleeping

about

Turkey Andersen thinks everything deserves a song. The super and sublime. That's why he's tackled the big and small issues here in his debut EP. Trapped inside of your shoe because of a knot? There's a song for that. Bemoaning rain on a day off? There's a song for that. Wore the wrong clothes while time travelling? Song.

The whole family will enjoy singing along and bouncing around to this sparkling collection of quick, perky, clever, comical and touching tunes. Andersen's friendly voice leads us through lyrics designed to spark imaginations, crack smiles, and allow the mind to wander.

Fans of pop/rock like the Beatles, They Might Be Giants, Jonathan Richman, and similar will eat up Turkey Andersen's debut EP.
