about

The first song, the one that inspired it all. Composed at the Berkeley Marina, sitting on a bench and watching the ocean waves crash against nearby rocks. San Francisco, that pointy building, the Bay Area fog, the frisbee players and kite-flyers behind us. 60s icons on our minds. We wanted a song to bring to camp, this is what happened. (For those of you not familiar, Wavy Gravy is the co-founder and co-director of Camp Winnarainbow, the place that brought us together. He's also a Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor.) We held onto this one for nearly two months before performing it during the Session D teacher talent night. The live version, heard on the CD, is that night's show.

lyrics

Wavy Gravy
Seva Savie
Potatoes and Gravy... and a chicken dinner
Microwav ... set it on 8 seconds
Wavy Gravy
He knows Einstein Gravy...
E equals mc Gravy (squared)
Breakfast in bed for 400,000 (people)...
and we're serving gravy
Wavy Gravy... he knows Bob Dylan
Hey Mister,... you've got colored teeth
Woovy Groovy ... woovy groovy
David Bowie, UB40
Wavy Gravy, B.B. King is crazy
Wavy Gravy, man your hair is wavy
Wavy Gravy, ice cream flavy
Woovy Groovy... he sure likes them movies
Wavy Grav
Wavy Gray
