The smile on the face of Daring Dewey is that
of Tony Whitfield, Dave's pal since the early 70's
at The
Jeffrey Foundation.
Tony has cerebral palsy and some learning difficulties,
but that hasn't stopped him. His spirit is unsinkable!
He believes life is an adventure -- that
he can discover what he's good at and develop it
to his benefit and the benefit of the rest of us.
What a concept!

Let that smile on Daring Dewey's face, on Tony
Whitfield's face, be a permanent reminder that the
time for whining is over, and the time for living
has just begun. |

IT’S NOT OKAY
words and music by Michael Monagan and Dave Kinnoin
©2009 Sossity Music (BMI) and Song Wizard Music (ASCAP)
verse one:
I saved a little money.
I kept it in a secret drawer.
You saw where I hid it.
My money isn’t there anymore.
So, I asked you where my money all went.
You said you took it and it’s already spent.
You said you “needed something—
What’s the big deal?”
It really hurts me when you steal.
chorus:
It’s not okay—I don’t like it.
It’s not okay—not a single bit.
It’s not okay—I’m not kiddin’.
Ya gotta quit when I say “It’s not okay!”
verse two:
You knew I was winning.
You had an angry look on your face.
You said I was cheating.
We both knew that was just not the case.
You stopped playin’,
And you messed up the game.
You started usin’ every kind of bad name.
I realized you weren’t just foolin’ around.
That’s when you pushed me to the ground.
(repeat chorus)

bridge:
I don’t mean to cause trouble.
Hey, I’m cool ‘most the time.
But when somethin’ just ain’t right,
I gotta draw the line.
verse three:
I have some good ideas.
I have a lotta feelings, too.
I need you to listen
So I can get my message to you.
You start talkin’ every time I begin.
I just can’t seem to get a single word in.
It’s getting clear that you don’t care what I say.
We can’t communicate this way.
(repeat chorus)

Can you hear me now?
Hey, can you hear me now?
No, it’s not okay! |
