Ricky Rochelle - Yeti in the Snow High on a hill lives the king of all creatures He foams at the mouth and has grizzly features He sharpens his teeth on the bones he’s collected From people who've hiked until they got dissected The cave that he’s chosen is frigid and frozen No, you don't wanna know The yeti in the snow Yeti in the snow Evenings at dusk from the slopes to the valley The monster attacks and the town keeps a tally of bodies he's twisted They doubt he existed No, you don't wanna know The yeti in the snow Yeti in the snow The yeti in the snow Yeti in the snow Up on the mountain in icy Tibet The most savage beast hunts without regret Don’t climb up the peak 'cause if you get lost He’ll tear off your head to feast in the frost The yeti in the snow (hey, hey!) Yeti in the snow (hey, hey!) The yeti in the snow (hey, hey!) Yeti in the snow (hey, hey!) Hooah!

Ricky Rochelle - Speedy Jackrabbit When I lived in the forest, couldn't see it for the trees Till I ran right into one and it knocked me to my knees My eyes suddenly widened and my head was filled with light Then came down a colorful balloon, it was an awesome sight I hopped into the basket, revved the burner up with ease And as I lifted off the ground, I felt a lighter breeze I watched my problems fade away into the atmosphere I saw them shrink before my eyes and finally disappear I'm a speedy jackrabbit on a hot air balloon Flying high so I won't be coming down soon Enjoying the view while I'm singing this tune I'm a speedy jackrabbit on a hot air balloon A rabbit's work is never done, there's no time to unwind Always rushing everywhere but was still a hare behind I'm floating above Bunnyland where they all look like ants While they're stuck in their rabbit holes, I get a second chance I'm a speedy jackrabbit on a hot air balloon Flying high so I won't be coming down soon Enjoying the view while I'm singing this tune I'm a speedy jackrabbit on a hot air balloon A wonderful revelation hit me on my fling I'm finally in the moment and appreciating things I think of you while mesmerized by the white glow of the moon Are you a speedy jackrabbit? Come hop in my balloon!! I'm a speedy jackrabbit on a hot air balloon Flying high so I won't be coming down soon Enjoying the view while I'm singing this tune I'm a speedy jackrabbit on a hot air balloon (Flying high...) I'm a speedy jackrabbit on a hot air balloon Flying high so I won't be coming down soon Enjoying the view while I'm singing this tune I'm a speedy jackrabbit on a hot air balloon.

Ricky Rochelle - Exceptionally Loved You smile each time you say my name to your friends on the phone You say that I'm your favorite guy that you've ever known I wonder how I ever made you feel the way you do But one thousand kisses prove they'll still be more from you I've never felt like this before The way you show me makes me sure I'll always be exceptionally loved And now I know that it's all true I’m happiest when I’m with you I'll always be exceptionally loved You pick out all the perfect shows as we binge watch Hulu And in the car you sing with me to blink-182 You cheered me on a hundred times through all my crazy schemes You're the reason why I reached beyond my wildest dreams I've never felt like this before The way you show me makes me sure I'll always be exceptionally loved And now I know that it's all true I’m happiest when I’m with you I'll always be exceptionally loved I realize every day you make me lucky as can be I promise to give you the highs that you've given to me I've never felt like this before The way you show me makes me sure I'll always be exceptionally loved And now I know that it's all true I’m happiest when I’m with you I'll always be exceptionally loved La, la, la, loved, la la la loved La, la, la, loved, la la la loved.

Ricky Rochelle - Brighter Trail Here in the woods, there’s a way ‘round the lake It was made just for us and the footprints we’ll make On brush covered ground that the roots call their home We climb over the rocks with excitement we roam Inspired thoughts come with songs of the birds And the small buzzing insects who speak without words Ahead of us, butterflies share their first dance They show us that it’s worth it to take a new chance We blaze a brighter trail on a path our own Wandering together towards the great unknown On a search for peace in discovery We blaze a brighter trail for you and me Look to the clouds as they travel with grace Floating over the earth, guiding us in this place In limitless skies where there’s no fear of heights Will we soar above all when our dreams are in flight? We blaze a brighter trail on a path our own Wandering together towards the great unknown On a search for peace in discovery We blaze a brighter trail for you and me And when we lose our way In darkness, the trees will sway But keep sight of the light of day We blaze a brighter trail on a path our own Wandering together towards the great unknown On a search for peace in discovery We blaze a brighter trail for you and me.

I'm a Jerk 02:11
Ricky Rochelle - I’m a Jerk I’m on a tear and bein’ dumb Makin’ jokes of everyone Without a sign of slowin’ down I can hear what they say But I drink the night away Feels like my feet don’t touch the ground Cause I’m a jerk, I’m a jerk And it doesn’t work I’m a real bad guy and I’m wastin' my time Now I need to make a change To save myself from my own ways Cause I’m a jerk My pride and vanity Feed the insanity Can’t fit my ego through the door I'm strugglin' everywhere My friends don’t even care I guess I’ll go and make some more Cause I’m a jerk, I’m a jerk And it doesn’t work I’m a real bad guy and I’m wastin' my time Now I need to make a change To save myself from my own ways Cause I’m a jerk If this were my last day It would mean everything I'll win by fixin' me Until then I will sing... I’m a jerk, I’m a jerk And it doesn’t work I’m a real bad guy and I’m wastin' my time Now I need to make a change Cause I’m a jerk, I’m a jerk And it doesn’t work I’m a real bad guy and I’m wastin' my time Now I need to make a change To save myself from my own ways Cause I’m a jerk!!

Ricky Rochelle - The Best Damn Feeling Lying around with you Inside my bedroom Another typical Saturday night But in the moment when Your smile goes to my head Sensation strikes and I get mesmerized You hit like a rush of love When sparks light up your eyes It makes me high I get the best damn feeling When you squeeze my hand I’m in wonderland I get the best damn feeling We go for coffee and We make the perfect blend Tasting the sweetness in that kiss on your lips Tonight I look to see You resting your head on me That’s when I feel the hair stand on my skin You hit like a rush of love When sparks light up your eyes It makes me high I get the best damn feeling When you squeeze my hand I’m in wonderland I get the best damn feeling Is there more that's in this moment? Cause you say you're in it too It’s when we both share this feeling That we can see what’s coming true... When sparks light up your eyes It makes me high I get the best damn feeling When you squeeze my hand I’m in wonderland I get the best damn feeling Sparks light up your eyes It makes me high I get the best damn feeling When you squeeze my hand I’m in wonderland I get the best damn feeling Yeah!!

Ricky Rochelle - Don’t Put the Chimp in Charge Have you heard the primate escaped the zoo? Can’t let him make a monkey outta you The police sketched out his hairy face He broke into NASA to go to space The chimpanzee’s missin’ He’s out on a mission And wants to fly the ship to Mars Don’t put the chimp in charge! I don’t wanna be around When the rocket hits the ground I don’t wanna hear a sound Don’t put the chimp in charge He’s a dummy, he’s a dope He’s a monkey on a rope If you want there to be hope Don’t put the chimp in charge Now he’s screeching orders from the cockpit He’s demanding a cold banana split He isn’t smart but he’s got a peel Just keep him far away from the wheel The chimpanzee’s wishin’ He’ll make television I wanna see him behind bars Don’t put the chimp in charge! I don’t wanna be around When the rocket hits the ground I don’t wanna hear a sound Don’t put the chimp in charge He’s a dummy, he’s a dope He’s a monkey on a rope If you want there to be hope Don’t put the chimp in charge The police busted in the door with bats and cuffs That’s when that monkey had had enough He escaped the launch pad, got a job and went to work He became the boss and a bigger jerk Don't put the chimp in charge! I don’t wanna be around When the rocket hits the ground I don’t wanna hear a sound Don’t put the chimp in charge He’s a dummy, he’s a dope He’s a monkey on a rope If you want there to be hope Don’t put the chimp in charge I don’t wanna be around When the rocket hits the ground I don’t wanna hear a sound Don’t put the chimp in charge He’s a dummy, he’s a dope He’s a monkey on a rope If you want there to be hope Don’t put the chimp in charge.

Love Is Mad 03:28
Ricky Rochelle - Love is Mad We laugh for hours on the phone - and I love it The clock hands spin when we're lost in our own time zone It's been months and months since we've been sighted by our friends You've got me feelin' crazy but I don't want it to end Love is mad, love is mad, love is mad But it’s the best madness I’ve ever had 'Cause I love, love, love, L-O-V-E you! It's insane how you read my mind - but I love it Your psychic powers see what I think all the time I'm feelin' euphoric in this dreamy altered state When I'm walkin' down the street I levitate Love is mad, love is mad, love is mad But it’s the best madness I’ve ever had 'Cause I love, love, love, L-O-V-E you! I thought I knew 'bout love before 'Til I walked through your funhouse door My sanity is one thing I'm not missing Outside my window, elephants are kissing No fantasy's too weird or feeling too great When I wake up with you, my heart inflates Love is mad, love is mad But it’s the best madness I’ve ever had 'Cause I love, love, love... Love is mad, love is mad, love is mad But it’s the best madness I’ve ever had 'Cause I love, love, love, L-O-V-E you! Love is mad, love is mad Love is mad, love is mad Love is mad, love is mad Love is mad, love is mad.

Ricky Rochelle - You Are My Heart On Saturday we hiked the woods because it felt like Spring We walked along a sunny trail with you leading the way I reached inside my pocket and you laughed, “What did you bring?” I took a moment for a deep breath then I knew exactly what to say Your eyes filled up with happiness When my knee hit the sand I couldn't stop smiling While reaching for your hand I couldn't be me without you My pulse wouldn't beat without you You are my heart, you are my heart You know I'm truly devoted And when you said “Yes!” I floated You are my heart, you are my heart I pledged a life of friendship, lots of love and loyalty I watched you cry those tears of joy and we felt so good There were no paparazzi but we felt like royalty I can't believe that it felt better than I ever could have dreamed it would I couldn't be me without you My pulse wouldn't beat without you You are my heart, you are my heart You know I'm truly devoted And when you said “Yes!” I floated You are my heart, you are my heart You’re my smile when I wake up The last kiss before we sleep You’re the rhyme, you're the reason That I could ever take this leap I couldn't be me without you My pulse wouldn't beat without you You are my heart, you are my heart You know I'm truly devoted And when you said “Yes!” I floated You are my heart, you are my heart You are my heart, you are my heart.
