1. THE DIARY OF HORACE WIMP

Monday: Late again today, he'd be in trouble though
He'd say he was sorry, he'd have to hurry out to the bus.

Tuesday: Horace was so sad, he'd never had a girl that he
Could care for, and if he was late once more, he'd be out.

(Chorus)
Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
Well he just stood there mumblin and fumblin'.
Then a voice from above said-
"Horace wimp,this is your life,
Go out and find yourself a wife,
Make a stand and be a man,
And you will have a great life plan."

Wednesday: Horace met a girl, she was small and she
Was very pretty, he thought he was in love, he was afraid.

Thursday: Asks her for a date, the cafe dowm the street Tomorrow evening, his head was reeling,
When she said "Yes, O.K."

(Chorus)

Friday: Horace, this is it, he asks the girl if maybye they
Could marry, when she says "gladly," Horace cries.

Sunday: Everybody's at the church, when Horace
Rushes in and says "Now here comes my wife,
For the rest of my life," and she did.

(Chorus)


2. DOWN HOME TOWN

The world outside don't like us much,
'Cause they ain't got our classy touch,
But they ain't good enough to breathe,
This towns good air we make 'em leave.

(Chorus)
But it's no, no, no, you really can't do that,
No, no, no, down home town.

No monkey business in this town,
Well who do you think you're pushing round,
This towns respectable and clean,
Just look around you'll see what I mean.

(Chorus)

Down home town, down home town,

(Chorus)

We got the best town band around,
Just listen to their crazy sound.
When they get hot they gonna blow,
You see them winnin' every show.
Down home town, down home town...

(Chorus)

Look out
