I wrote and recorded this silly song for my daughter after watching her crunch a whole bunch of nuts in our driveway. It was kinda catchy. Kenzie is still singing it. That says Hit Kids Song to me if I’ve ever heard one. Lyrics I love crunching nuts. I love to hear them pop. I […]

Sleepytime, Beddy-Bye Time (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, Dec 10, 2009 I love lullabies. One of these days I’d love to have an album of music for sleeping, but until then I decided to write a lullaby for my sweetheart. It’s sle-e-epytime, beddy-bye time Lay your head down to sleep Close your sweet eyes, dream of soft kisses Walking along […]
No Songs Left to Sing (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, March 13, 2009 There are no songs still left to sing There’s no music still left to score All the melodies have left the moon beams Ever since you left my door I heard that little quip that you made Caused me a little bit of pain and woe While fireworks sparked […]

Reflexology (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, around 1992 I was listening to a lot of “Weird Al” Yankovic when I wrote this song. You will note there is nothing about reflexology in the song. That’s because after writing the lyrics on a sheet of paper, I was watching TV and saw a feature on reflexology. It sounded interesting […]
When We French Under the Sun (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, April 11, 1997 One of my more silly songs. This one was born out of the idea of a man rejected through each of the body’s senses. When we French under the sun, You can bite off my tongue (x2) If you think I’ll forget the taste of you. But when you […]
The Ballad Of The Sea (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn and Andrew McKee, 2002 This is one of the first songs Andrew and I wrote together with the Brobdingnagian Bards. I don’t remember how the melody goes. We didn’t spend much time playing it. I walked alone in foggy dew Just me and my memories A voice out seaward beckons thru A […]
Pleasant Peasant Pheasant Plucking Song (Lyrics)
by Marc Gunn, June 16, 2003 A few days ago I got a reminder email. A woman had emailed me “a year and a day ago” about how she heard a fun song called “The Pheasant Plucking Song”. She thought it’d be cool for us to have a “Pleasant Peasant Pheasant Plucking Song”. Okay, I […]
