Original songs from the mid to late 1970's. My first adventures in songwriting and performing. Good times
It exists therefore it am. They came from inner space and left no turn unstoned. The journey began and nothing was ever the same again (or during). Are you ready to cruise with the Spaceship Vicar?

Lyrics
Odiustemboetmann (Steamboat Man) Adrian J Pratt 1973 The Steamboat Man You all know, Lives up the river, Where the steamboats go. Hes the ring-a-ding-ing, Of a River King, Hes a crazy cat, Whos doing his own thing. The Steamboat Man Gets his fun, By shoveling on coal, Till the day is done. Hes an alligator turbulator, Sort of crazy fellow. Hes a mover and a shaker, Without a trace of yellow. The Steamboat Man Nice kind of fellow The Steamboat Man He aint got no streak of mellow, The Steamboat Man (Instrumental) The Steamboat Man Had a friend took ill. Took him up the river, Just as fast as he could go. He was shovelin on coal, Till he was hangin to his soul. He was doing most anything, To make that steamboat roll. The Steamboat Man Nice kind of fellow The Steamboat Man He aint got no streak of mellow, The Steamboat Man
