Artist picture
Tom Paxton meets Jefferson Airplane. Extremely prolific singer songwriter with a wide range of styles from bizarre novelty tunes and surrealistic poetic songs t
With more than 300 songs and counting and for more than 30 years, I have written in a variety of acoustic styles from novelty tunes to love songs to historical ballads to poetic surrealistic songs to retro-acoustic pop. From bizarre to traditional from funny to poignant, whatever style the song is in, the melodies are usually memorable and the lyrics unpredictable. This site will eventually contain rough often first take demos of my entire song catalogue. Many of the earliest songs when I first started writing will of course be shaky. So expect the songs to get better as time goes on. Feel free to come back and browse often as I will constantly be adding songs, one by one in chronological order, starting in 1974. If you are looking for some unusual songs to cover from a little known but unique artist, you have come to the right place. Just e-mail me. If you find a song here that intrigues you, but you don't like a line or two, or you think it needs a bridge, drop me an e-mail and maybe you can earn writer's credit if it gets that song to be recorded or performed.... otherwise just enjoy. You can become a Rob Lincoln fan at no cost to you. I promise that if you keep coming back there will be some real surprises along the way. While mostly acoustic, some original material will veer into folk rock and even 60's pop, but the garage rock and loudest material will also be found in full band arrangement at soundclick.com/abrasiveflowers Eventually some of these 300+ tunes may be rerecorded and make it on to CD, including a novelty CD that would be suitable for Dr. Demento or an historical ballad CD or a political song CD--but until then, this is the only site you can hear most of these songs. (A few of my songs CAN be found on songramp.com/RobLincoln and myspace.com/lessickandlincoln)

Story behind the song
Loosely based on my friend Diane's Aunt Claude, this song was performed a few times in a manic and silly fashion. This version is rocked out a bit. Mp3 Club listeners gave this a 4.5 out of 5.0....Comments included: "Great Song" "This one is lots of fun" "A little Your Auntie Griselda perhaps?"
Lyrics
Your Aunt Maude's tough Nothing can phase her She drinks whiskey She uses scotch as chaser She's got a boy in every Port Richmond tavern On weekends she goes spelunking in caverns That lady's red hot She don't know the meaning of stop That lady drinks a lot Ten kamikazis, a tequila sunrise without the sunrise Your Aunt Maude (4x) Your Aunt Maude does a hundred push-ups before She's out the door at a quarter to four Your Aunt Maude does her crossword puzzlers On her way to her corporate headquarters That lady's red hot She don't know the meaning of stop That lady talks a lot French, German, Yiddish, Swahili, gibberish and Southern Paughippsiyish Your Aunt Maude (4x) Your Aunt Maude says you're a real fuddy duddy You got the backbone of pink silly putty Your Aunt maude sits back chomping on her ceegar As her chauffer drives her away in her new car That lady's red hot She don't know the meaning of stop That lady looks a lot A lot like you and your sister Sue And your pet kangaroo from Kalamazoo Your Aunt Maude (4x) She's got your nose She's got your eyes She's got your mouth She's got your smile She's got your eyebrows She's got your nosebrows She's got your earbrows Your Aunt Maude
