Creation Smiles

Lyrics: Tim Bluhm
Music: Tim Bluhm

Sung by Alex Koford with Phil Lesh and the Terrapin Family Band in 2014.

Lost the toss, now you're the boss
Leaner than a Fresno bulldog
Grizzly bear fights with a mule
Who knows who will come out the winner

Quitting time comes once a year
Especially when you do good around here
Kiss the croc and punch the ground
Creation smiles from here to here

I heard about the bust, that was a kick too nuts
You weren't doing nothing but trying to make a few bucks
If that's all you had, you better go get some more
Was your ear to the ground, or was your face on the floor

Summer time comes once a year
Especially when you screw up around here
Flick the knife and poke the pie
Creation smiles from here to here

He's the king of the camp, he's the bare-hand champ
He gives his fist in the whoop-ass, he gives your forehead a stamp
Kiss the ring, you walk the wing
If you gotta go, you better hold your thing

The footlights shine, and your apple stinks
You got to learn how to dance if you break a string

Closing time comes once a year
Especially when it thins out around here
Crickets cry and end their beer
Creation smiles from from here to here
Creation smiles from from here to here
Creation smiles from from here to here
Creation smiles
