I live in a big house
With the most well kept yard of my block
And I sit at home lookin' out the window
Wishin' those kids would stop
Then in flies a ball
It's come flying off some punk's baseball bat
And rolls into my yard
Yeah it really knocked my begonias flat.
I said, "Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Don't hang around just move along
From my lawn baby"
My Bermuda shorts are stylin'
With my black laced shoes, white socks, it's not a fashion crime.
A golf cap on my head, polo shirt
Well, I guess I'm lookin' fine.
It's three p.m., there's too much noise
Won't you damn kids ever let me take a nap?
'Cause you want to play
Do you have to make me take all this crap?
I said, "Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Don't hang around just move along
From my lawn baby"
I was sick and tired, fed up with this
And decided to take a drive downtown
To get the early bird meal special
With all my buddies, not a kid around
I drove myself home
I was so tired and I started to dream
In the mornin' the bicycle tires had furrowed my yard
I just had to scream
I said, "Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Don't hang around just move along
From my lawn"
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Hey, you, get off of my lawn
Don't hang around baby just move along
From my lawn"
Jeff and Maya have an identity crisis. Their music is sometimes uproariously funny parody (like their spot-on "Bohemian
Rhapsody" parody "Midichlorian Rhapsody", or hauntingly beautiful, like "Road to Jerusalem" or "Manhattan Sleeps". One way or another, their music will create strong emotions. Jeff and Maya have been creating music together since 1979, and plan to continue for some time to come....more
Great song writing and performances. Vixy's voice is powerful and sweet at the same time. Tony is a great guitarist and arranger. The songs are poetic and charming. Jeff and Maya Bohnhoff

A silky, smooth, sultry voice weaving lyrical imagery upon a canvas of exquisite tonal contours. Immensely pleasurable. The bouncy cheer of " Little Bird" is a delightful contrast to the dusky jazz groove of this truly beautiful album. Much gratitude for you S J ! roddylloyd
