Take a Load off Kinsey

By Steve Siegel & Liza Crosse

He pulled into West Marin, red afro on his head
Lookin' for a place to have: garlic, bees and a bed
To join the mainstream, or hike the trails instead
He just grinned and shook his head, "Do 'em both!" he said

CHORUS:

Take a load off Kinsey
Time to set him free
Take a load off Kinsey
And… put it on Rodoni

​Packed up his tent, thought he'd hitch a ride
When he saw Gary Giacomini pull over by the side
He said, "Hey Gary, c'mon let's check out Bo"
He said, "No, I gotta go and I'm handin' you the show"

CHORUS

Workin' at the Civic Center, there's a lot there you can't say
High profile politics, then paddlin' Tomales Bay
Strategizin' with every word, to get the good fight won
CLAM, 1st Five, C-H-A, always with a bit of fun

CHORUS

Has a knack for details, dragged into the oyster wars
Ponds and creeks and salmon, quite a few battle scars
Flipped the switch at KWMR, literacy for all
Preservin' all that MALT land, West Marin has no mall

CHORUS

Known for the May Meander; walked, kayaked and biked
He got to know all District 4 campin' out every night
Knows every trail so well, which rock was out of place
Bellydanced and strip-teased, anything to fundraise

CHORUS

As if the county weren't enough, he got caught up in the fog 
Led that Coastal Commission, subject of a nasty blog
Messin' with the septic regs, the fumes they were so strong
He said, that's okay folks, I'll be home before too long

CHORUS

Catch the stage coach, to get him over the hill
That thing sure goes slow, but at least the road is smooth
To get back to the Valley, Jean 'n family by his side
Spendin' time with Elwin is gonna be mighty fine

CHORUS

Verses: C Em F C
Chorus: C G F – / C G F – / C G F – / C – – – / C Em F C F –
