When Jesus was a
Kid
When You Ask Me
First
It's Only a Wee Wee is
about sex role conditioning. Whats the first
question we ask when a babys born? "Is it a
boy or a girl?" It starts right away. Adults make
much more of a big deal about sex than kids do, so
this is songs really to get adults thinking
about our gender stereotypes. Its obvious
that the range of human sexual behavior, identity
and orientation is not limited by our genitalia.
It's Only a Wee Wee, So What's the Big
Deal?
As soon as youre born grown-ups check
where you pee
And then they decide just how youre gonna
be
Girls pink and quiet, boys noisy and blue
Seems like a dumb way to choose what youll
do...
Chorus
Its only a wee-wee, so whats the big
deal?
Its only a wee-wee, so whats all the
fuss?
Its only a wee-wee, and everyones got
one
Theres better things to discuss!!
Now girls must use make-up, girls names and
girls clothes
And boys must use sneakers, but not panty hose
The grown-ups will teach you the rules to their
dance,
And if you get confused, theyll say
Look in your pants!
Chorus
If I live to be nine, I wont
understand
Why grown-ups are totly obsessed with their
glands
If I touch myself, . . Dont you do
that! Im told,
And they treat me like I might explode!
Chorus
Grown-ups watch closely each move that we
make
Boys must not cry, and girls must make mcake
Its all very formal, and I think it
smells
Lets all be abnormal and act like
ourselves!!
Chorus
(Adult verse & chorus)
She walked to the market past brave
cavaliers
She tried to avoid them, they whistled and
jeered
She gave them the finger, they gave her more
noise
She stopped and she sang to those bright little
boys, . .
Its only a wee-wee, so whats the big
deal?
Its only a wee-wee, so why do you watch?
Its only a wee-wee, and everyones got
one
Theres more to life than your crotch!!

When Jesus was a
Kid
It's Christmas time again and the mall is really
weird
Everyone gets stressed out Christmas shopping every
year
I have to stop and wonder, looking at my Christmas
list
When Jesus was a kid, would He be doing this?
I know He was a baby, but did He ever cry?
Did Jesus wet His diapers or were they always
dry?
Did He use a bottle before He used a cup?
Did Jesus throw things on the floor for Mary to
pick up?
Did Mary ever spank him? Does the Bible say?
Did Jesus scream and holler when things didn't go
His way?
I know He was a baby, but I wonder what He did
When He was about, my age, ... when Jesus was a
kid?
Did He have birthday parties? I like to think He
might
But then I have to wonder, well, like, who did He
invite?
Were there other kids in bathrobes who played tag
the way we do?
Was He bummed out when His birthday gifts said
Merry Christmas too!?
Did Jesus put on sunscreen, or did He wear a
floppy hat?
Living in a desert, you can sunburn, (snap!), just
like that!
And He prob'ly hated eating camel milk with mushy
peas
Or can Saviors just get out of eating gross things
when They please?
N'He prob'ly hoped His Dad would let Him have a
B-B gun
I mean His father Joseph, you know, not the other
One
It's not like it's a war toy, Jesus wouldn't hurt a
flea
And He'd never point at anyone, He'd be as safe as
me!
And if His mother found it, she wouldn't make a
scene
She'd NEVER hide it in the attic, no, she was NOT
that mean
He wanted Peace On Earth and Good Will to kids
I mean He was a kid Himself, so I'm sure He really
did
We fight wars and we spill oil, we mess up the
sand
I bet a kid like Jesus prob'ly wouldn't
understand
He'd see us Christmas shoppers trying hard to close
our eyes
To the homeless people sleeping near expensive
stuff we buy
I might be wrong, but I'm a kid too, so I might
be right
If we asked that kid Jesus, Is all this stuff all
right?
Can we buy Christmas spirit if we spend lots of
dough?
Well I think that kid Jesus, would just say No!
Christmas isn't about shopping, it's about the
way we care
It's thinking What would that kid Jesus do if He
was here?
So if some kid you know, messes up some thing they
did,
Remember, Jesus was a human too, when He was a
kid.
Acting like a kid at Christmas, should not be a
sin
Remember when we do it, we're only acting just like
Him
So this Christmas, let's just BE NICE to each
other, don't you see?
When Jesus was a kid, He was a lot like you and
me!
When Jesus was a kid, He needed love like you and
me!

Hi! Peter Alsop here.
I work with kids and families all year long, and
every Christmas season, I find myself wondering
"What kind of a kid was Jesus?" I mean, after he
got himself out of the manger?
Well here's what I came up with! We shot this in
1992 with my daughter Willow It's called When
Jesus was a Kid. It's won some awards and has
been used in churches, temples & Sunday school
classes. It addresses homelessness and gives us
food for thought about caring for each other on
this planet.
Good Time is a story
about a pick up in a bar. Its played out
every night in thousands of cities around our
country. Shes married, and even though he
scores, he still feels empty. Sex makes
us feel better, even if it's only a temporary fix.
The chase and game of seduction can become a way of
life. We fantasize and are constantly "on the make"
in search of someone who can give us the relief we
want. Pornography and the secret meetings that end
up in bed make us feel alive and validated. If we
can get someone else to "go all the way" with us,
then we must be okay. As with other addictive
behaviors, eventually we need larger more powerful
doses.
Good Time
I see that you're alone
Y'look like someone I once knew
I'm just a little drunk, but do you mind?
I hope I haven't blown
My chances here with you
What I'm about to say sounds like a line
Well, I've made it this far
I came out to have a good time,
And here you are,
I came out to have a good time
And would you like to share a glass of wine?
Cause I'm alone in here
And I came out to have a good time.
This elevator goes so slow
When you look at me that way
I'll ride up and see you to your door
First you tell me "No"
Then your husband's gone, you say,
Sure, you slip into something else, I can't think
anymore
Chorus (And even though the evening's
going fine)
I'm sorry if I hurt you
God, you kiss like silk and velvet
I'm dizzy and so light that I could fly
You're really good, you know
But I guess I'd better go
I don't know why it is, sometimes I cry
Chorus (And even though your body's holding
mine,)
I came out, ... to have a good time.

When You Ask Me First
chronicles a mans difficulty with
relinquishing control in the bedroom. Being on the
receiving end of someone elses passion can be
a humbling and upsetting experience, but if someone
wants to make love with us, we must be desireable,
right? This songs good for discussing
expectations, control, and individual
preferences.
When You Ask Me First
I love to do it Baby
But you only make it worse
I just don't get excited
When you go and ask me first
So don't touch me where I'm ticklish
And don't sit on my lap
And don't ask me politely Baby
It makes me feel trapped
Cause when you chase me, Darlin'
It really turns me off
I've tried so hard to tell you,
But I guess I'm getting soft,
So please, just sit and smile
With helpless soulful eyes
Admiring me while
I run my finger up your thighs
Then I kiss you,
And I breathe heavy in your ear
Then you should whisper "Take me! Take me!"
And could you make it sound sincere?
Chorus
When I start to change positions
Like the pictures in the book
And use a couple mirrors
So I can see how neat we look
You start to change positions too,
In ways I've never seen!
And you kiss with your eyes open!
And you laugh, and yell, and scream!
You used to be more normal
You liked it face-to-face
But now you're going crazy
And you like it anyplace!
You said I could be on top,
You said you understood,
But all last night you wouldn't stop!
You busted it for good!
Chorus
I love to do it Baby
When everything is right
But I think I feel my headache
Coming on again tonight.

Lists is about falling
in love and becoming compulsive and obsessive about
another person. "Falling in love" is an altered
state of mind, not unlike being drugged. It may be
helpful to ask ourselves if we are "growing in
love" with someone, which implies all of the
difficult parts of building a relationship that has
emotional safety, as well as caring and sexual
intimacy. Compulsive list-making can bring a loving
relationship to its knees. When we feel we
MUST follow a list and complete everything, we may
have lost sight of why the list was made in the
first place.
Lists
I had a list of things to do
But now my only list is you
And my list keeps getting longer
I hope we never make through
I want to laugh with you out loud
I want to meet you in a crowd
I want to buy you leather clothes
I want to hold you by your toes
I want to travel cross the country
Together on a Northern train
I want to sing with you in harmony
And run through pouring rain!
Do you feel me too? Are the shivers coming
through?
I want to make you room to grow
I want to share the stuff we know
I want to touch you when you're still
I want to roll you down a hill
I want to lather up your shoulders
Shampoo fingers through your hair
I want to gather up your worries
And throw them in the air!
Chorus: Do you fell me too? Are the
shivers coming through?
Do you feel me too? Am I coming through?
I want to hold you when you're sad
I want to show you Paris, France
I want to listen to your stomach
While you're teaching me to dance
I want to wade into your eyes
And I want to taste your tongue
I want to listen to you whisper
I want to kiss you when you come.
Chorus

Man Oh Man I Can
is a silly song, but its great for bringing
up issues about objectification of women,
communication difficultiies, fear of closeness,
blaming, masturbation, jealousy and parental
criticism. Having a plastic or wooden significant
other certainly makes it clear whos in charge
of the relationship, doesnt it! Finding a
partner who doesnt mind if were always
in control, and keeping our focus on sex and love
and romance helps us avoid feeling lonely, but it
doesnt solve our problems. We find ourselves
stuck in a relationship where were merely
existing, not really living.
Man Oh Man I Can
As a window dresser at Macy's
My future held nothing in store
Until that day in the warehouse
When I spotted you there on the floor
I knew when I saw you that you were the one
But you needed some parts for your arm
So I gave you a hand, but your blouse came
undone
I still feel shivers from all of your slivers
Though you're rough with me Baby, that's part of
your charm!
Chorus: Man, oh man, I love you, man, oh
man, I can
Anyway I can
Love you all day
It's not right the way I love, man, oh man, I
can
Our love is 'knot holy'
'Wooden' you say?
I know that you're bald, but I don't care at
all
Cause I know how self-conscious you are
And you always have a smile for me when I call
I love kissing your lips, though they're missing
some chips
From banging around in the trunk of my car!
That blond hair on my collar, you know, that you
found?
Well, she's just a dummy I knew long ago
Now you're mad! I can tell, cause you won't make a
sound
Must I tap little rhythms on you with my
thumb??
Mom always said you'd make a good drum!
Your eternal beauty will never run down
I won't let you warp or decay
When you're old, if you get board, you can lumber
around
In my yard where the woodpeckers stay
They'll build nests in your head and keep termites
away!
Chorus

I Hope You Understand
Dear is about breaking off an affair with a
laptop. Some of us use work to avoid painful
feelings. We medicate by working compulsively and
accomplishing things, even though we may be dying
inside from loneliness. We feel that "if we can
just get enough control of the world around us, we
can make everything work out just right." Obsessive
romance and "falling in love" are powerful
medicators, and we can actually have an
affair with our work to avoid facing
some of the painful realities of our relationships
at home.
I Hope You Understand Dear
For years Ive been watchin folks on
the T.V.
Sometimes it seemed they were more real than me
Then I met you computer, you wanted my touch
Ygave me the control that I
needed so much!
I hope you understand Dear, youll forgive
me, I know
Yfollow every command Dear, but
Im going back home!
There was something attractive bout your
organized mind
I turned you on and our lives intertwined
I spent so much time sittin, just gazing at
you
That my wife, she suspected and my kids, they did
too!
Well we didnt try thide it, we
started scrollin around
Wed go out on datas and
youd never go down
So I knew you meant business, that you werent
the cheap kind
But I need some body, Darlin, not just some
mind!!
My wife and kids miss me, n heck, you
never smile,
So Im goin back dear, tstart a
new file!
Now the thrill is all gone, so its not worth
the risk,
And its tough to play games with an old
floppy disk!
I hope you understand Dear, youll forgive
me, I know
I need someone with hands Dear, so Im going
back home!
But back home in the bedroom, my life was a
wreck!
My wife was in bed, with mega-bytes on
her neck!
Warm boots in the hall,
Wordstars in her eyes,
A User-friendly computer lyin
there on her thighs!
(I couldnt cursor for that, so I
said,)
I hope you understand Dear, and youll
forgive me, I know!
Cause this terminal illness has been
wrecking our home!!!
I hope you understand Dear, cause I love you so
much!
So lets write some new programs,
thatll keep us in touch!
I hope you understand Dear, and youll
forgive me, I know!
Youre just right for this man Dear, so
Im comin back home!

The humor of Hopelessly
Heterosexual, comes out of the heterosexual
man's homophobia clashing with his sexual
curiosity, not from any ridicule or negativity. Gay
men and lesbians in our culture face incredible
rejection, because our society is so "hopelessly
heterosexual". This songs good for discussons
on heterosexism and homophobia, to friendship, male
bonding and the origins of our sexuality. There are
things about ourselves that we dont choose;
things we discover as we go on living. Our sexual
orientation is one of them. Why would a twelve year
old boy choose to be gay, when he knows hell
be shunned by his straight friends? The marvelous
process of exploring and discovering our sexuality
is severely squashed by the traditional sex role
expectations in our culture.
Hopelessly Heterosexual
Im hopelessly, heterosexual
I guess Im kinda slow
Mom and Dad were all I had
Thats the only way I know, so
Im hopelessly, heterosexual
Im stuck with being straight
So man-to-man Ill ask you
Not to ask me for a date!
When Im with you Im happy
When youre with me youre gay
I love you like a brother
But not the other way!
Now Im not scared to try it
But its not my cup of tea
I never even thought of it
Til you brought it up to me
And now that I consider it
Id rather stay repressed
Cause I dont feel excited at
The thought of you undressed!
Im hopelessly heterosexual
You know Im not a tease
Im a product of society
So dont be angry, please!
Im hopelessly heterosexual
And I hate to be a bore
But Id rather watch the Super Bowl
Than sit here and explore!
Im flattered that you asked me
But thats the way things have to be
Cupids kinda stupid
He hit you and he missed me!
But since were on the subject
And you know where I stand
What exactly do you do?
I guess, use your hand?
I mean, do you, how does,
What if, where will? From behind!!
Oh well, I just, you know,
It was, (gulp!) NEVERMIND!!
Im hopelessly, heterosexual
And I dont mean to offend
So dont hold it against me
And Ill be your best friend
No, dont hold it against me
And please be my best friend!!

Buddies is about
having close friends to talk to, as a major part of
our safety net during difficult times. Its
essential to have a family of choice to
support us. This is a song for buddies we love,
regardless of their gender. If youre bothered
by the reference to alcohol in the line,
You're a mug of cold beer!", change it to,
"God, I wish you were here!". Some of us medicate
with alcohol, while others preoccupy ourselves with
relationship difficulties.
Buddies
As my lifeline runs through my fingers
And it snags on knots time to time
Just talkin to you, helps them slip
through
A buddy like yous hard to find.
Buddies like you never need to be told
What buddies like me need to say
Life has a flare when youre standing
there
And its hollow when youre away.
Remember that night I was ready to die?
We shared your last Cuban cigar
I laid down in the highway, but no one drove
by,
So you went to borrow a car!
I helped you etch all them lines in your
face
And you helped me grow these grey hairs
If I make you sore, hell! Whatre friends
for?!
Were buddies cause I know you care!
I like you better than corn-on-the-cob
More than the air that I breathe
Youre a mug of cold beer,
Youre a laugh, youre a tear,
Buddy, youre a god-damned relief!!
Buddies like you never need to be told
What buddies like me need to say
Life has a flare, when youre standing
there
And its hollow and empty, when youre
away

Don't Put Your Hand in My
Pants, Just 'cause We're in Love is a favorite
song of teens. Its about setting boundaries
and speaking up for ourselves. This too is a good
song for singing in a group. Im hoping
someday to see a high school football band do It
for the half-time show.
Don't Put Your Hand in My Pants, Just 'cause
We're in Love
Dont put your hand in my pants
Just cause were in love
Dont put your hand in my pants
I just wanna be hugged
Please hold my hand when we kiss
Im so tired of tugging your wrist
Dont put your hand in my pants
Just cause we're in love
The night is full of stars
My heart is full of love
But romance starts to fade
When you grab and grope and tug!
Like Boy Scouts on parade,
Like the Army Marching Band
Your fingers think theyre crusaders
Heading for the Holy Land!
Dont put your hand in my pants
Just cause were in love
Dont put your hand in my pants
I just wanna be hugged
As you gaze deeply into my eyes
Your fingers keep creeping up on my thighs!
No, dont put your hand in my pants
Just cause we're in love!
I just want to snuggle
You just want to play
Your one hand's on my zipper
And your other hand is, HEY!!
I say No! but you dont stop
You feel IN LOVE! you say?
Well I feel that youre not listening
So feel your own, okay!!? and,
Dont put your hand in my pants
Just cause were in love
If youve got icy fingers
Buy yourself a glove!
When I asked, if yknew how I felt
I meant in my heart, not under my belt!
No, dont put your hand in my pants
Just cause we're in love!
Birds are singing, bells are ringing
It must be Spring, youre after my thing!
No! Dont put your hand in my pants
Just cause were in love!!

Let the Woman in you
Come Through addresses the fact that many men
feel a need to appear tough or "macho" to avoid
teasing or ridicule. We know that if a boy cries or
shows any gentleness, he risks being called a
"sissy". Why should acting like someone's sister be
taken as the worst kind of insult? Male fear and
negativity about women in our culture doesnt
make much sense. Our bodies make both estrogen and
androgen, and gentle, nurturing behaviors are
exhibited by both genders, especially when
theyre encouraged.
Let the Woman in you Come
Through
You're holding in cause you're a man who never
cries
I'm not as tough as you, my friend,
But since you ask for my advice,
Let the woman in you come through
She's trying to let you know she's there
She colors everything you do
And the man in you gets scared.
You like to dance, I've seen you dance
When you thought no one was there
I've heard sorrow take your voice
While you laugh like you don't care
It's hard to hide your gentle side
It's a lonely way to be
Take it from a friend who knows,
An old, old friend like me.
Chorus
You'll fight to prove that you're a man
You'll fight to prove you're right
You work hard and play hard
And you stay up late at night
Working hard's a way to hide
From the dumb things some folks say
But holding tenderness inside
Is only throwing it away.
Chorus / Break
So you tell me that I'm crazy
And I know you don't like kids
Especially little sissies
Yeah, . . I know you never did,
But I've seen you with the tough ones
The ones the others all condemn
And you know that they're the frightened ones
And you know cause you're like them.
Chorus
Let the woman in you come through
Be a different kind of brave
She'll show you love's the difference
Between a free man and a slave.

Baby Needs a Parent is a
song for single parents. Single parenting can be
overwhelming and lonely at times, but it can also
be less complicated when you dont have to
deal with the other parent. Some single parents buy
things for their children to compensate for the
loss of the other parent, but kids dont need
more stuff, they need a well-adjusted adult in
their life who loves them and can model a full
range of healthy emotions.
Some single parent homes have produced some very
well-balanced children, including homes with gay
and lesbian parents. Children who grow up in such a
home do not automatically become homosexual
themselves, because as these special parents point
out, "Gee, we grew up with heterosexual parents;
that didn't influence our sexual orientation.
Baby Needs a Parent
Baby dont need no silver spoon
Dont need no rub-a-dub-dub
Its apparent that a baby needs a parent
who
Can give that baby some love!
Now every babys got one Mama
And every babys got one Pop
These days some babies live with one or the
other
Cause the parents get all split-up!
Now if a babys only got one person
To guide that baby along
Well you might think thats a one-sided
baby
But maybe you might be wrong
Though everybody says that a baby girl
Needs to learn a womans gentle touch
And a boy needs a man to raise him, and
To show him how to be tough, . .
You know a baby can grow-up gentle
When a gentle Daddy takes good care
And a baby can grow up stron and brave
When a strong, brave Mama is there!
Now every babys gotta have at least one
person
Who can be both gentle and strong
Well if the Mama and the Daddy can both do that
Then that babys never gonna go wrong!

I Wish
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish my life would change
I wish the world was better
I wish people weren't so strange
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish with all my heart
I wish someone would do something
To make the changes start!
I wish there were no wars
I wish the World had peace
I wish guys were not so violent
And there was no disease!
I wish we all had jobs
And I had curly hair
I wish someone could make
Un-caring people care!
I wish I'd loose some weight
I wish I didn't smoke
I wish I had a date
I wish I wasn't broke
I wish that global warming
Would cool off and go away
I REALLY wish the Green Party
Would win some day!
I wish folks liked to share more
And there was no more greed
I wish that all the poor folks
Could get all the things they need!
I wish animals were safe
They'd never go extinct
I wish all food was organic
And our water, clean to drink!
I wish God would hear my prayers
Up in Heaven where He dwells
But somewhere I heard God helps those
Who work to help themselves
So when I wish someone would save us
I take out my mirror
And I see who needs to take some action
It couldn't be much clearer!

Is apathy over? I hope so!! I just had a talk
with a friend who didn't vote. She said "It never
changes anything!" Maybe she's right, but I sure
feel a change.
I don't want to miss out on this marvelous
"dance of life" we're doing here on planet Earth. I
don't want to sit on the sidelines, while everyone
else is out on the dance floor! I figure, "Why not
jump in with both feet! Dance with some passion,
even if I'm not sure of the steps!?" When it looks
like there's absolutely no hope at all, that's the
best time to leap up and show off your best moves!
Then, if you go down, you go down dancing!
When we dance in the face of a seemingly
hopeless situation, the "unseen Spirit" of life
hops on the Soul train and dances with us! Alive
people and cultures with Life-affirming
spirituality know this! We just have to "prime the
dance-pump" with our delight at being alive, and
the universe dances with us!

about how to use our art to open closed minds.
San Diego, CA - with the folks at the
Zapatista Corn Festival, where they support the
indigenous Mother corn of the people, and speak out
about genetically modified seed that pollinates the
native corn, makes sterile hybrid seeds that cannot
be used for replanting the following year. This
forces farmers to use genetically modified seeds
from American companies. It's a vicious marketing
plan, and it puts us all at risk. We need a wide
range of genetic diversity in our food sources, so
species can survive rusts, viruses and other
threats that might wipe out all of them when there
are only a few marketable types. Check out Richard
Manning's wonderful book, Against The Grain: How
Agriculture Has Hijacked Civilization, North

Phil Rasori, who presented his beautiful slides of
the people in Chagoria, a small village in Kenya,
and discussed his Village Hopecore's use of
microcredit loans to empower women there with HIV.
