You Can Sing in Your Underwear
My Nine Eleven Story
Dig if you will a picture:
Watch the video below to get the full story of how my 9/11 experience got condensed down into a song called “You Can Sing inYour Underwear.”
Listen to today’s song addition to the “Mixed Up Files” on Bandcamp in the player below:
I remain your humble servant,

Here are the lyrics:
Down Baby Down!
(In the Valley)
Well I went down in the valley
I was down in the canyon
It's a big ol' coulee
(Don't ya know it's a big ol' coulee)
It's a big ol dam
(Don't ya know it's a big ol' coulee)
And I come out with a bum knee
(Just the moon and the stars above me)
I got down with a waitress
I didn't see no planes in the sky
(Just the moon and the stars above me)
And I sang a song for the people there
And they said: "Honestly, we don't care
You can sing in your underwear!"
Well I went down in the valley
(Well I went down)
When everything went wrong
When the world turned upside-down
And it's up to the Gretchen question to save us now
Love your fellow man,
Love your fellow man,
Love your fellow girl even more
Just show her all the love in the world
Me and Tellus Mater
Well I was down in the valley
(Well I got baptized down by the riverside)
And I was down on my knees
And I was down on my knees
And I stayed down on my knees
And it's up to the Gretchen Question
And it's up to the Gretchen Question
And it's up to the Gretchen Question
To save us now
Where were you?
In the valley
