There's a man who always stood right by me
Tall and proud and good when times were bad
To much heart, is the only fault that I see
This song's not for you folks
It's for my dad
Always a partner, a playmate and a teacher
Ready with a joke when times were sad
And in my teens, sometimes he was a preacher
This song's not for you folks
It's for my dad
He always was a rock when I needed one
He gave me good advice when I needed some
I want you to know that when It's said and done
He's one of the best friends I ever had... I ever had
This song's not for you folks
It's for my dad
He always was a rock when I needed one
He gave me good advice when I needed some
I want you to know that when It's said and done
He's one of the best friends I ever had... oh, I ever had
This song's not for you folks
It's for my dad
Of course I like you folks
Here I am
All alone and crying
Bluer than
I've ever been
In my heart
It feels like I'm dying
Thinking what might have been
If he'd love me
Like I loved him
He was the only one
My heart my soul I gave
He'll be the only one
Whose love I'll always crave
He is the one love
I'll always dream of
Oh, what might have been
If he'd love me
Like I loved him
He is the one love
I'll always dream of
Oh, what might have been
If he'd love me
Like I loved him
Oh, what might have been
If he'd love me
Lonliness is nothin' new
I've lived with it my whole life through
So look out gloom
I'm makin' room for happy happy
Through with walkin' sadness street
I'm dancin' on these smilin' feet
Oh, blues be gone
I'm turnin' on with happy happy
And should he need me
Well I'll be right there,
I don't care, anywhere
And should he want me
I'll say this is it, the lamp is lit
Here we go, here we go
Up to where our mind are free
And ev'ryday's philosophy
Says life is wild be like a child
Called happy happy
At the end of the rainbow
You'll find a pot of gold
At the end of a story
You'll find it's all been told
But our love has a treasure
Our hearts can always spend
And it has a story without any end
At the end of a river
The water stops it's flow
At the end of a highway
There's no place you can go
But just tell me you love me
And you are only mine
And our love will go on
Till the end of time
"You've got your world, & I've got mine, and it's a shame ...
2 grownup worlds that will never be the same ...
Why can't we be like Storybook Children?
Running through the rain, hand in hand, across the meadow ...
Why can't we be like Storybook Children?
In a wonderland, where nothing's planned, for tomorrow.
You've got his ring, you've got his heart, you've got his baby ...
and it's too late for us to turn and start again! ...
Why can't we be ...?
Vagabond shoes, why did you roam?
Why did you take me far from home?
Far from the mountians, the rivers, and streams,
just chasing a dream
Vagabond shoes, you've gone a stray
Happiness lies the other way
so, turn around, turn around
away from the blues.......
Take me home again, home again, home again vagabond shoes
Some people run
Some people crawl
Some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward
Some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in white
Some wrapped in fearful black
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
Where did you go?
Some people never get
And some never give
Some people never die
But some never live
Some folks they treat me mean
Some treat me kind
But most folks just go their way
Don't pay me no mind
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
Where did you go?
Sometimes I'm satisfied
Sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold
Sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh
But at sunrise I cry
At midnight I'm in between
And wondering why
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
Where did you go?

SUNDOWN SUNDOWN
There's no one in this world for me
There's never gonna be
There's no one in this world needs me
There's never gonna be
Yet sometimes in my dreams i hear...
Sundown
I miss you, sundown
I need you, sundown
Come on, come on, come on, come on, back to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on, back to me
I need you, sundown
I need you, sundown
There's no hands ever reached for me
There's never gonna be
There's no one meant for lonely me
There's never gonna be
Yet sometimes in my dreams i hear...
Sundown
I miss you, sundown
I want you, sundown
Come on, come on, come on, come on, back to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on, back to me
I love you, sundown
I love you, sundown
(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
(LEE):
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine
(LEE):
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine
(LEE):
When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine
(NANCY):
Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine
I know I stand in line until you think
You have the time to spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two......
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
Something stupid like I love you
I can see it in your eyes that you despise
The same old lines you heard the night before......
And though it's just a line to you for me it's true......
And never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines
To say to make the meaning come true......
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head......
The stars get red and oh the night's so blue......
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
Something stupid like I love you
I know you're leavin' babe,
Goodbye, so long.
I hope someday somebody
Listens to your song.
Those bright lights never ever
Spell your name it's true.
Maybe a change of scene
Will be the best for you.
So long babe, so long babe,
So long babe, so long babe
So long babe
I know you're leavin' babe,
Goodbye, so long.
Pick up the pieces
And go back where you belong.
You gave them all you had
And what did they give you?
Well they gave you nothin' babe
So give 'em nothin' too.
So long babe, so long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe, so long babe,
So long babe.
I know you're leavin' babe,
Goodbye and so long.
You never made it babe,
I wonder what went wrong.
They never understood your songs,
Here's what you do
Just walk away and leave 'em,
And let 'em come to you.
So long babe, so long babe,
Yeah so long babe, so long babe
So long babe, so long babe,
So long babe
So long babe,
Ah so long babe
So long babe
Mmm So long babe
The Shadow Of Your Smile
(Paul Francis Webster/Johnny Alfred Mandel)
The shadow of your smile
When you are gone
Will color all my dreams
That lights the dawn
Look into my eyes oh my love and you will see
All the lovely things that you are to me
Our wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
And all the joys that love can bring
That's when I will be remembering
The shadow of your smile
A wistful little star
Was far too high
A teardrop kissed your lips girl
And so did I
Now when I remember spring
All the joys that your love can bring
I would be remembering
The shadow of your smile
Now when I remember spring
And all the lovely joys your love can bring
I would be remembering
The shadow of your smile
SHADES
(Lee Hazlewood)
'66 Criterion Music
These shades can hide the teardrops crying
But not the way I feel inside
These shades can only do their part oh yeah
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
These shades can hide my red red eyes
But not the hurt left by your lies
These shades can only do their part oh yeah
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
Dark shades I'll keep on wearin' as long as I'm still caryin'
For you and I still love you so oh why did you go now
These shades can hide my eyes away
But not the pain I feel each day
These shades can only do their part oh yeah
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
But these shades can't hide a broken heart
These shades can't hide a broken heart
See the little children laugh and sing (laugh and sing)
Fantasy is such a common thing (common thing)
Love is why the flowers grow
Of all the red and blue
I wish they never had to know
Love can hurt them too
See the little children laugh and sing (laugh and sing)
See the little children running by (running by)
Happiness is dancing in each pie (in each pie)
And love is just a mountain tall
Where angels learn to sing
How could they know that angels fall
Before they grow their wings?
See the children running by (running by)...
See the little children on their way (on their way)
Give them kisses, candy and today (And today)
Tomorrow will be soon enough to know what we speak of
Tomorrow will be soon enough to know the hurt of love
See the children on their way...
Well I'd rather see you dead, little boy
Than to see you with another girl
You better keep your head, little boy
Or you won't last in my world
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end, little boy
Well you know that I'm a wicked chick
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can't spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line
So you better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end.
Hmm.
Let this be a sermon
I mean everything I've said
Baby, I'm determined
Cause I'd rather see you dead
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, baby boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end
You hear me?
Well I'd rather see you dead, little boy
Than to see you with another girl
You better keep your head, little boy
Or you won't last in my world
You better run for your life if you can, little boy
Hide your head in the sand, little boy
Catch you with another girl
That's the end, little boy
Walking down some cobbled street
The sound of water near my feet
I found her
A hundred thousand flashes hit my mind
Soon my arms were all around her
We lay and let our heart take wings
and fly across the Seine
Love came for us from the sky
pretending it was rain
Oooh, Paris summer
Standing on some cobbled street
The sound of water near my feet
You found me
I took the wedding ring off of my hand
Before he put his arms around me
I lived my lie and dreamed his dreams
And lay beside the Seine
When I left the tears I cried he though were just the rain
Oooh, Paris summer
Walking down some cobbled street
The sound of water near my feet
I found her
I took the wedding ring off of my hand
Before i put my arms around me
We lay in and let our heart take wings
And fly across the Seine
When she left the tears she cried he thought were just the rain
Oooh, Paris summer
They say the neon lights are bright on Broadway
They say there's always magic in the air
But when you're walkin' down that street
And you ain't had enough to eat
That glitter rubs right off and you're nowhere
They say the boys are something else on Broadway
Yeah, but looking at them just gives me the blues
'Cause how you gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime
And one thin dime won't even shine your shoes
They say that I won't last too long on Broadway
I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home, they all say
But they're wrong, I know they are
'Cause I can play this here guitar
And I won't quit 'till I'm a star on Broadway
I'm gonna make it yet
I'll be a big, big star now
I'll have my name in lights
Everybody's gonna know me, yeah, all over town
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Gazin' at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm goin' through
They can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Then just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
'Cause I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how I love you
Nancy: I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah
Lee: We didn't find it there so we moved on
Nancy: I followed you to Alabam', things looked good in Birmingham
Lee: We didn't find it there so we moved on
BOTH: I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
Nancy: I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
Lee: We didn't find it there so we moved on
Lee: To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
Nancy: We couldn't find it there so we moved on
Lee: And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
Nancy: (SPOKEN) But this time, only two of us move on. And now now we have
each other. And a little memory to cling to.
Lee: And still you won't let me go on alone.
BOTH: I know you're tired of following
My elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
For they're only fleeting things
My elusive dreams
Mama Goes Where Papa Goes
Or Papa don't go out tonight
Mama goes 'cause Mama knows
He can't be trusted out of her sight
Mama's got a feelin' that she must be near
Just to help her Papa keep his conscience clear
So Mama Goes Where Papa Goes
Or Papa don't go out tonight!
No, Papa don't go out tonight!
Here's your bedroom slippers and your fav'rite pipe
Here's your yellow bathrobe with the purple stripe
Here's your armchair and the paper that you read
And here's the lovin' mama
Who's got everything you need
I've had plenty, Daddy, and you ain't the worst
But your Mama here believes in safety first
And any married woman will admit I'm right
A husband in the home is worth a dozen out of sight!
Mama's got a feelin' that she must be near
Just to help her Papa keep his conscience clear
So, Mama Goes Where Papa Goes
Or Papa don't go out tonight,
No, Papa don't go out tonight!
I've told you that I'm Lightning's girl
But you keep hanging 'round
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to put you down
(spoken) About six feet!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down...yeah
Better stop your grooving 'round
Another rooster's hen
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to do you in
(spoken) In about two minutes!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Here comes Lightning down the street
While you just stand there talking
If I were you I'd start to move
And tell my story walking
(spoken) About a hundred miles an hour!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"
Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.
Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.
Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
I've been where the eagle flies
Rode his wings 'cross autumn skies
Kissed the sun, touched the moon
But he left me much too soon.
His lady bird...He left his lady bird
Lady bird come on down
I'm here waiting on the ground
Lady bird I'll treat you good
Aw, lady bird I wish you would.
You lady bird...pretty lady bird
Lightning flashed across the sky
The night he taught me how to fly
The sun came up and then I found
Too soon he let his lady down.
His lady bird...I'm his lady bird
Lady bird come on down
I'm here waiting on the ground
Lady bird I'll treat you good
Aw, lady bird I wish you would.
You lady bird...pretty lady bird
Winter lives in my heart
In the times we're apart
Summer sings a song or two
When he says "I love you true".
My lady bird...yeah, I'm his lady bird
Lady bird come on down
I'm here waiting on the ground
Lady bird I'll treat you good
Aw, lady bird I wish you would.
You lady bird...Pretty lady bird (I,m your lady bird)
You're a lady bird (Yes, I'm a lady bird)
You're too much you little bird.
IT AIN'T ME, BABE
Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
you don't need analizin
it is not so surprisin
that i feel very strange but nice
your heart goes pitter patter
i know just what's the matter
because i've been there once or twice
put your head onb my shoulder
you need someone that's older
a rub down with a velvet glove...
there is nothin you can't take
to relieve that pleasant ache
In my room
we're at the end of the harm
I sit and stare at the wall
each day's just like the last
for I lived in the past
In my room
where every night is the same
I play a dangerous game
I keep pretending he's late
And I sit and I wait
All the day is the picture
we took when he made me his bride
All the day is the charm way
he held me whenever I cried
All the day by the window
the flowers he left...
...I won't die!
In my room
we're at the end of the harm
I sit at I stare at the wall
hating how lonely I've growned
all alone
I have tried to make you love me
I've done everything your way
And I'm crying for the words you'll never say
You think love is an illusion
That must end in sad conclusion
If that's what you feel that's just how it will be
And I can't grow peaches on a cherry tree
When I see the peaches blossom
I'll regret I said goodbye
I remember cherry kisses and I'll cry
But I can't go on pretending
That our love is never ending
For you can't be loved unless you want to be
And I can't grow peaches on a cherry tree
Someday I will find a new love
But for you there can be no love
For you can't be loved unless you want to be
And I can't grow peaches on a cherry tree
La La La La
La La La La
La La La La
People used to bill and coo
But that don't make it with you
Coz there's other things we do
In our time, baby
In our time, yeah
In our time, baby
In our time
Girls were once suffragettes
Now they're out takin' bets
Smokin' filter cigarettes
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time
Holdin' hands in the Louvre
Used to be such a groove
Now some take trips and never move
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time
Mickey Mouse ain't no kid
Since he read the Wizard of Id
He's trying to figure out what he did
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time
Housewives dig rock 'n' roll
If you're wrong you've got soul
If you're twenty then you're old
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
Our own sweet time
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time, yeah
HUTCHINSON JAIL
- written by Lee Hazlewood
- appears on NANCY SINATRA: NANCY IN LONDON (1966)
- b-side of single FRIDAY'S CHILD - Reprise 0491 (1966)
Lyrics
Cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Somebody help me please
I'm as helpless as I can be
And I don't know what my life is comin' to
Now they say that I shot a man
Well I never shot I ran
And that was my first mistake I'm telling you
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
I got a man in Wichita and a man in Saginaw
And they both ain't heard from me in some time
I hate to disappoint them both but some feller under oath
Said I did it and they believed his story not mine
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
There's snow all over the ground
And there ain't one robin around, that I'd trust to carry a message to a friend
I guess I'll just stay here till spring
I sure wish I knew what spring
They'd let me out so I can start again
Ah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail, yeah it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold, cold, it's cold in the Hutchinson Jail
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out
Got a good reason
For taking the easy way out, now
He was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long
To find out, and I found out
He's a big teaser
He took me half the way there
He's a big teaser
He took me half the way there, now
He was a day tripper
One way ticket, yeah
It took me so long
To find out, and I found out
I tried to please him
He only played one night stands
I tried to please him
He only played one night stands, now
He was a day tripper
Sunday driver, yeah
It took me so long
To find out, and I found out
Day tripper, yeah
Some timer
Day tripper, yeah
One nighter
Day tripper, yeah
And he is a day tripper, yeah
Day tripper, yeah
I been hearin' your concern about my happiness
But all that thought you've given me, is conscience I guess
If I were walkin' in your shoes, I wouldn't worry none
While you and your friends are worryin' 'bout me,
I'm havin' lots of fun
Chorus:
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do
Last night I dressed in tails, pretended I was on the town
As long as I can dream it's hard to slow this swinger down
So, please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine
You can always find me here and havin' quite a time
Chorus:
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do
It's good to see you, I must go, I know I look a fright
Anyway, my eyes are not accustomed to this light
And my shoes are not accustomed to this hard concrete
So, I must go back to my room and make my day complete
Chorus:
Countin' flowers on the wall, that don't bother me at all
Playin' solitaire 'til dawn, with a deck of fifty-one
Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo
Now don't tell me
I've nothin' to do
Don't tell me
I've nothin' to do
(Feelin' kinda Sunday, feelin' kinda Sunday, feelin' kinda Sunday)
(Feelin' kinda Sunday, feelin' kinda Sunday, feelin' kinda Sunday)
Hey Mr. Sunlight, gonna outshine your bright,
I'm talking out of my head, I'm so high on life.
Don't you know that it's gonna be a "thousand-and-one" day.
And I'm feelin' kinda Sunday, (feelin' kinda Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday.
Pardon my glow-on, but from the high I'm on,
I see myself in this world right where I belong,
There's nothing can hold me down , it's a "get-up-and-run" day.
And I'm feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday),
Feelin' kinda Sunday, (Sunday).
The bells I hear in me say I should be getting up soon,
Been travelling all morning long, but I'm still here in my room.
Got to give in to (in to) this feelin' I'm on to, (I'm on to)
I'm looking at love coloured windows, and liking the view,
It's just the beginning of a happy go funday,
And I'm feelin' kinda Sunday (feelin' kinda Sunday),
Feelin' kinda Sunday (feelin' kinda Sunday),
Feelin' kinda Sunday (feelin' kinda Sunday).
(La, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la,)
It's just the beginning of a happy go funday,
And I'm feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday)
Feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday)
Feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday)...
Hush, hush, little baby, don't you cry
Hush, hush, little baby, don't you cry
Daddy works in a rock and roll band
He's a Drummer Man
Plays all night in a crummy dive
down on Lincoln Street
Living in a rat trap, hassle and
a-hustle with the welfare plan
Lord, it's tough when you're living with a dream
Of a Drummer Man
Hush, hush, little baby, don't you cry
Don't you know, little baby, bye and bye
Daddy's really going to make it big like Ringo done
Be a Hollywood cat and live up
in the canyon where the sun shines
If we can just hold on till
we find that once in a lifetime plan
Oh, Lord, it hurts to be living with a dream
Of a Drummer Man
He's a Drummer Man-that's what he is
And I love him so
And I clean his jeans
And I dry his tears
When the breaks don't come, and it ain't no fun
He's my man and he's a real good drummer
It's a bummer when you've got to play
the nickel and the dime
Kind of job that don't pay enough to buy a can of beans
Chicken bone's clean
Hush, hush, little baby, don't you cry
Hush, hush, little baby, don't you cry
Daddy works in a rock and roll band
He's a Drummer Man
He beats out time, drinks a lot of bad
wine down on Lincoln Street
One day Daddy's going to be a star
But in the meantime-
Oh, Lord, it's tough to be living with a dream
Of a Drummer Man
Child it's tough but your Daddy is a dream
Of a Drummer Man
Well it's cryin' time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Now, they say that absent makes the heart grow founder
And that tears are only rain to make love grow
Well my love for you could never grow no stronger, no
If I'd live to be a hundred years old
Oh, it's cryin' time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Now you say you found someone that you love better
Well that's the way it happened every time before
And as sure as the sun comes out tomorrow
Cryin' time will start when you walk out the door
Oh, it's cryin' time again you're gonna leave me
I can see that far away look in your eyes
I can tell by the way you hold me darling
That it won't be long before it's cryin' time
Now it won't be long before it's cryin' time
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see but not for me
I sit and watch as tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
But all I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
Oh but where are you
I sit and watch as tears go by
I'm not gonna say everything is OK
Cause OK is not the way that I feel.
I'm not gonna be any fool's Christmas tree
Let 'em hang gifts on me that aren't real
I'm not gonna take second best
I've got no use for the rest.
World you better hear what I say
Cause for me true love could be
100 years away.
I'm not givin' in to a smile or a grin
On a face -huh- I might never see again.
I'm not gonna fly in some big phony sky
On a ride that I know just can't win.
And I'm not gonna take second best
No I've got no use for the rest.
So world you better hear what I say
Cause for me true love could be
100 years away.
And if it is, I'll wait
All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in l.a.
If I was in l.a.
California dreamin'
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
Got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
Preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
Knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
All the leaves are brown
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
I could leave today
California dreamin'
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
California dreaming'
On such a winter's day
California dreaming'
We got married in a fever

Ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson I'm gonna mess around (yeah)
Yeah I'm goin' to Jackson

All them women gonna make me teach 'em

Ya turn-a loose-a my coat
'Cause I'm goin' to Jackson
Goodbye that's all she wrote
They'll laugh at you in Jackson (I doubt it)
And I'll be dancin' on a pony keg
They'll lead you 'round that town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Yeah yeah yeah go to Jackson you big-talkin' man
And I'll be waitin' there in Jackson behind my Japan fan
We got married in a fever hotter

We been talkin' 'bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went ou-ou-out
Go to Jackson and that's a natural fact
We're goin' to Jackson ain't never comin' back
We got married in a fever hotter
Than a pepper sprout
We been talkin' 'bout Jackson
Ich war fünf und er war sechs
Wir spielten mit Steckenpferden
Er trug Schwarz und ich trug Weiß
Er gewann immer den Kampf
Bang Bang
Er hat mich nieder geschossen
Bang Bang
Ich fiel auf den Boden
Bang Bang
Dieses schreckliche Geräusch
Bang Bang
Mein Schatz hat mich nieder geschossen
Die Jahre vergingen und es veränderte sich alles
Und als ich erwachsen war und er mein
Lachte er immer und sagte:
"Kannst du dich noch erinnern wie wir gespielt haben?"
Bang Bang
Ich hab dich nieder geschossen
Bang Bang
Du fielst auf den Boden
Bang Bang
Dieses schreckliche Geräusch
Bang Bang
Ich hab dich immer nieder geschossen
Die Musik spielte und die ganzen Leute haben gesungen
Nur für mich haben die Kirchenglocken geläutet
Jetzt ist er gegangen ich weiß aber nicht warum
Manchmal weine ich noch immer
Er hat nicht einmal "Leb wohl" gesagt
Er hat sich nicht mal die Zeit genommen zu lügen
Bang Bang
Er hat mich nieder geschossen
Bang Bang
Ich fiel auf den Boden
Bang Bang
Dieses schreckliche Geräusch
Bang Bang
Mein Schatz hat mich nieder geschossen
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight
Bang bang
He shot me down
Bang bang
I hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
My baby shot me down
Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up by called him mine
He would always laugh and say
Remember when we used to play
Bang bang
I shot you down
Bang bang
You hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
I used to shoot you down
Music played and all people sang
Just for me the church bells rang
Now he's gone I don't know why
Until these days sometimes I cry
He didn't even say good bye
He didn't take the time to lie
Bang bang
He shot me down
Bang bang
I hit the ground
Bang bang
That awful sound
Bang bang
My baby shot me down
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?
We could float among the stars together you and I
For we can fly, yeah, we can fly
Up, up and away in my beautiful
My beautiful balloon
The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky
For we can fly, wee, we can fly
Up, up and away in my beautiful
My beautiful balloon
Suspended under the twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
People lean beside us
Love is waiting there in my beautiful balloon
Away up in the air in my beautiful balloon
If you hold my hand we'll chase a dream
Across the sky
For we can fly, we can fly
(Come on let's fly)
Up, up and away in my beautiful
My beautiful balloon
In my pretty balloon
Two shots of happy
One shot of sad
You think he’s no good
Well he knew he was bad
Took him to a place
Now he can’t get back
Two shots of happy
One shot of sad
We walked together down a dead end street
Mixing the bitter with the sweet
Don’t try to figure out what we might’ve had
Just two shots of happy
One shot of sad
He was a singer
Some say a sinner
Rolling the dice
Not always a winner
You said he was lucky
But hell, he made his own
Not part of the crowd
Not feeling alone
Under pressure
But not bent out of shape
Surrounded, he always found an escape
It drove him to drink
But hey, that’s not all bad
Two shots of happy
One shot of sad
Yes he was greedy all of his life
Greedy with his children, his lovers, his wife
Greedy for the good things, as well as the bad
Two shots of happy
One shot of sad
Well maybe it was talk
Saloon singing
The chairs are all stacked
And the swingers stopped swinging
You said he hurt you
You put the finger on yourself
And after you did it
You ran crying for his help
Two shots of happy
One shot of sad
He’s not complaining
Baby he’s glad
You call it compromise
Well, what’s that?
Two shots of happy
One shot of sad
Two shots of happy
Saturday in the park
I think it was the 4th of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the 4th of July
People dancing, people laughing
A man selling ice-cream singing Italian songs
[Foreign Content]
Can you dig it? Yes I can
And I've been waiting such a long time for Saturday
Another day in the park
I think it was the 4th of July
Another day in the park
I think it was the 4th of July
People talking, really smiling
A man playing guitar and singing for us all
Will you help him change the world
Can you dig it? Yes I can
And I've been waiting such a long time for today
Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day
A bronze man still can tell stories his own way
Listen children all is not lost, all is not lost, oh no, no
Funny days in the park
Every day's the 4th of July
Funny days in the park
Every day's the 4th of July
People reaching, people touching
A real celebration waiting for us all
If we want it, really want it
Can you dig it? Yes I can
I look at you and suddenly
Something in your eyes I see
Soon begins bewitching me
It's that old devil moon
That you stole from the sky
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
You and your glance make this romance
Too hot to handle
Stars in the night blazing their light
Can't hold the candle to your razzle-dazzle
You got me flyin' high and wide
On a magic carpet ride
Full of butterflies inside
Wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
I wanna cry, wanna croon
Wanna laugh like a loon
It's that old devil moon in your eyes
Just when I think I'm free as a dove
Old devil moon deep in your eyes
Blinds me with love, blinds me with love
Blinds me with love
Old devil moon deep in your eyes
Tell you babe. im not the lovin' kind
so you'd better get it right off of your mind
I'll give you money, I don't care
I'll take you with me, anywhere
oh, tell you babe, I'm not the lovin' kind
tell you babe I'm not the lovin' kind
get you somebody else,
and you'll do just fine
cast your tears into the sea
don't waste your tears on me
I tell you babe, I'm not the lovin' kind
I tell you baby I'm not the lovin' kind
so you'd better move on down the line
I told you do
I've never lie
loves a train I never ride
oh tell you babe, I'm not the lovin' kind
I told you so, I've never lied
loves a train I'll never ride
You've got your world and I've got mine and it's a shame
Two grownup worlds that will never be the same
Why can't we be like storybook children?
Running through the rain, hand in hand, across the meadow
Why can't we be like storybook children?
In a wonderland where nothing is planned for tomorrow
You've got his ring, you've got his heart, you've got his baby
And it's too late for us to turn and start again
Why can't we be like storybook children?
Running through the rain, hand in hand, across the meadow
Why can't we be like storybook children?
In a wonderland where nothing is planned for tomorrow
How happy we could be
If only we were storybook children, storybook children
My baby cried,all night long
My baby cried all night long
He saw me dancing with a boy named Joe
A hug and then a kiss and with the lights down low
And my baby cried all night long
My baby cried all night long
My baby cried all night long
He saw me messin with a boy named Lu
And baby can't do what Lu can do
And my baby cried all night long
Last night I cried all night long
Last night I cried all night long
I saw my baby out on the town
Doing all the things I've done
And made brought me down
And then I cried all night long
Yeah,last night I cried all night long.
(spoken)And tomorrow this story is that you shouldn't become a messing,when you shouldn't be messin.
Were you end up crying,all night long?
When you find out you don't love her
When all the glitter rubs off of her
I'll be waiting just a smile away
I can see you need some cheering
Call on me, I'm volunteering
All you gotta do is pick up the phone
Tell me you're alone and baby I'll come running
I'll be your good time, girl
I'll be your sunshine, girl
I'll turn your nighttime into day
I'll be your good time, girl
I'll be your sunshine, girl
I'll wash your troubles all away
When you need someone to laugh with
Someone to share things half and half with
I can make the nighttime fly away
You don't have to say you love me
Just let me know you're thinking of me
All you gotta do is pick up the phone
Tell me you're alone and baby I'll come running
I'll be your good time, girl
I'll be your sunshine, girl
I'll turn your nighttime into day
I'll be your good time, girl
I'll be your sunshine, girl
I followed you to Texas, I followed you to Utah
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I followed you to Alabam', things looked good in Birmingham
We didn't find it there so we moved on
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
I had your child in Memphis, you heard of work in Nashville
We didn't find it there so we moved on
To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska
We didn't find it there so we moved on
And now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine
But this time, only two of us move on
And now now we have each other and a little memory to cling to
And still you won't let me go on alone
I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes
For they're only fleeting things, my elusive dreams
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Oh you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all
You got me workin' boss man
A workin' round the clock
I need me a drink of water
But you just won't let me stop
Big boss man, oh, can't you hear me when I call?
You know that you ain't so big
You're just tall, that's all
I got to get myself a boss man
And he's gonna treat me right
He'll work me hard, real hard in the day time
But I sure rest easy and nice
Big boss man, can't you hear? Can't you hear me when I call?
Let me tell you, that you ain't, you ain't so big
You're just tall, that's all
Big boss man
Big boss man
Big boss man
Wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' each night of his charms
That won't get you into his arms
So if you're looking to find love you can share
All you gotta do is hold him
And kiss him and love him
And show him that you care
Show him that you care just for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him
Girl, you would get him wishin' and a hopin'
Thinkin' and a prayin'
Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kisses will start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinkin' of havin' true lovin'
All you've gotta do is hold him and kiss him
And squeeze him and love him
Do it and after you do you will be his
Show him that you care, care for him
Do the things he likes to do
Wear your hair just for him
Girl, you would get him thinkin' and a prayin'
Wishin' and a hopin'
Just wishin' and hopin' and thinkin' and prayin'
Plannin' and dreamin' his kisses will start
That won't get you into his heart
So if you're thinkin' of havin' true lovin'
All you've gotta do is hold him and kiss him
And squeeze him and love him, yeah
Do it and after you do you will be his
Gone is the romance, that was so divine
It's broken and can not be mended
You must go your way, and I must go mine
But now that our love dreams have ended
What will I do?
When you are far away
And I am blue
What'll I do?
What'll I do?
When I am wondrin' who
Who's kissing you
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my little troubles to?
When I'm alone
Alone with only dreams of you
That can't come true
What'll I do?
When I'm all alone
Alone with only dreams of you
Dreams that will never come true
There's a little bird that somebody sent
Down to the earth to live on the wind
Going on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sent
He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue
So thin and graceful the sun shines through
This little bird who lives on the wind
This little bird that somebody sent
He flies so high up in the sky
Way out of reach of human eye
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Every night I sit here by my window (window)
Staring at the lonely avenue (avenue)
Watching lovers holdin' hands
And laughin' (ha ha ha)
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
(Thinkin' 'bout things)
Like a walk in the park (things)
Like a kiss in the dark (things)
Like a sailboat ride (ya ya)
What about the night we cried
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to)
And heartaches are the friends
I'm talkin' to (but you got me now)
When I'm not thinkin' of just how much
I love you ('bout I love you, too)
I'm thinkin' the things we used to do
(Used to do, thinkin' 'bout things)
Like a walk in the park (things)
Like a kiss in the dark (things)
Like a sailboat ride (ya ya)
What about the night we cried
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' about the things we used to do
I still can hear the juke box softly
Playin' (playin')
And the face I see each day belongs to you
(Belongs to you)
But there's not a single sound
And there's nobody else around
But that's just me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
(We used to do, thinkin' 'bout things)
Like a walk in the park (things)
Like a kiss in the dark (things)
Like a sailboat ride (ya ya)
What about the night that we cried
Things like a lover's vow
Things that we don't do now
Thinkin' about the things we used to do
And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to
You got me thinkin' 'bout
The things we used to do (I hope so)
You keep saying you got something for me
Something you call love but confess
You've been a'messin' where you shouldn't 've been a'messin'
And now someone else is getting all your best
Well, these boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
You keep lyin' when you oughta be truthin'
You keep losing when you oughta not bet
You keep samin' when you oughta be a'changin'
What's right is right but you ain't been right yet
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
LEADBREAK
You keep playing where you shouldn't be playing
And you keep thinking that you'll never get burnt (HAH)
Well, I've just found me a brand new box of matches (YEAH)
And what he knows you ain't had time to learn
These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
SPOKEN
Are you ready, boots?
He's never caught one spy untold
He's never even caught a cold
Got his degree from Disney Land
But he's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man
He's an underwhelming kind of sleuth
He thinks James Bond is some kind of suit
He's farther back than also ran
But he's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man
He'd come in third in a two-horse race
I've never had to slap his face
(What a shame)
But people try to understand
He's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man
He's the last of the secret agents
And he's my man
He's the last of the secret agents
Now she just got here yesterday
Things are pretty hot here now they say
There's a great big change around
Now all the girls are jealous there's no doubt
And still those stupid fellows are raving about
This here new chick in town
And ever since she came
You can hear all the people playing
No gal made has got a shade
On sweet Georgia Brown, yeah
Two left feet but, oh, so neat
That's sweet Georgia Brown
Boys all sigh and want to die
For sweet Georgia Brown
I'm tellin' you why
And you know I don't lie, not much
It's been said she knocks 'em dead
When she lands in town
Since she came, it's a dog gone shame
How she cools 'em down
The fellas she can't get
They other fellas she ain't met, yet
Georgia claimed her, Georgia named her
Sweet, sweet Georgia Brown
All those tips the porter slips
To sweet, sweet Georgia Brown
She buys clothes at fashion shows
With just one dollar down, yeah
Oh, boy, tip your hats
Ohh, boy, she's the cash
Who's that mister? It ain't a sister
That's sweet Georgia Brown
I love it, I love it, pretty hear this one
Georgia's gonna play the tambourine now
Man, I wanna tell you people
I'm sure glad I wasn't around that town
When Georgia Brown was around that town
Sweet, sweet Georgia
I got some troubles but they won't last
I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass
And pretty soon all my troubles will pass
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
I never had a dog that liked me some
Never had a friend or wanted one
So I just lay back and laugh at the sun
'cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little old me
'cause I was in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
If I had a million dollars or ten
I'd give to ya, world, and then
You'd go away and let me spend
My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo Sugar Town
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they'd gather 'round and started talkin'
And that's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the backyard we'd go walkin'
And then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was a son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
He was a son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, yes, he was
Oh, yes, he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I'd try
When he started sweet talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is all right
He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
He was a son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
He was a son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, oh, he was
Oh, yes, he was
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time
Tellin' me that he's all mine
Learnin' from each other's knowing
Lookin' to see how much we been growin'
And the only boy who could ever reach me
He was a son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
He was a son of a preacher man
Yes, he was, yeah, he was
Oh, yes, he was
He was a sweet talking son of a preacher man
Sweet talking son of a preacher man

How are things in California
Oh, your letter didn't say
Now that you're in California, are you gonna stay
When you left for California
How I begged you please think twice
But you thought that California would be paradise
But it isn't the place, it isn't the weather
What matters the most is being together
You may have the sun, the sand and the sea
But why must you be so far from me
I'll come out to California, if you care the way I do
Wait for me in California
I packed everything I own and I put it in a knapsack
I'm leaving Birmingham, yes, I am, and I ain't lookin' back
I bought me a guitar and I wrote a song
I played it for the DJ on the telephone
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes, I am
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Alright
Riding on a Greyhound bus 'cross the Tennessee borderline
Eating from a Po' Boy sandwich, taking drinks from a quart of wine
I got to get off at the very last stop
My ticket's only good to Little Rock
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes, I am
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
I got mixed up with a big city woman in Little Rock
I had to spend a week one time in the county jail
I had to take a two-day job to get my guitar out of hock
That's the way it goes when you got no dough to make bail
I ran out of transportation funds, I had to hitchhike
I caught me a ride with a tattooed dude on a motorbike
People gonna know when I'm in town
Heads are gonna turn when they hear my sound
Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes, I am
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Ow, uh
You know that I'm tired of going down
I believe I'm gonna leave this town
I'm leaving Birmingham, yes, I am
Yes, I am, yes, I am
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye, bye Birmingham
Bye, bye Birmingham
Bye, bye Birmingham
Bye, bye Birmingham
Bye, bye Birmingham
Do you know the way to San Jose?
I've been away so long
I may go wrong and lose my way
Do you know the way to San Jose
I'm going back to find some piece of mind San Jose -a
L. A. is a great big freeway
Put a hundred down a by a car
In a week - or maybe two - they'll make you a star
Weeks turn into years and quickly pass
And all the stars there never were a parkin' cars and pumpin' gas
I've got lots of friends in San Jose
Wo oh oh oh
Can't wait to get back to San Jose
Wo oh oh oh
Did you ever?
Not so much, that you could notice
Well could you estimate how many?
8 or 9
Will you do it anymore?
As soon as you walk out the door
Well I just wondered, did you ever?
All the time
Could I fix you one small?
No thanks I just had one
Then how about a nice big...?
That would be just fine
Is there any special way?
Oh no, whatever you say
Well I just wondered, have you ever?
All the time
Does he look like...?
No he's taller and more handsome
Yeah but is he old?
Oh no he's young and he's in his prime
Does your father know I'll bet?
Uh huh.. I haven't told him yet
I just wondered, do you ever?
All the time
But just for old times sake
No,that would be much harder
Then how about...?
Well are you sure that you don't mind
Hey I know just the thing for us
No I'm afraid I'll miss my bus
Well I just wondered, have you ever?
All the time
I just wondered,did you ever
I had all the dreams of riding carousels,
Now it's up on life I wanna climb.
I've tried all the schemes
But marriage bells never ring on time.
I long for love and music everywhere
And boys of love and music take me there.
I'm more than just a dedicated fan,
I love them allâ?¦ the boys in the band.
Maybe I prefer to lead a different life
It's been so long I just don't know
I loved a boy onceâ?¦ God it seems so long ago.
I long for love and music everywhere
And boys of love and music take me there.
They're the only ones who understand
I love them allâ?¦ the boys in the band.
I loved a boy onceâ?¦ God it seems so long ago.
I long for love and music everywhere
And boys of love and music take me there
And when I give ovations I don't stand
And those weird China blues
Never go away
Sad, mad blues
For all the while they seem to say
Oh, Limehouse kid
Oh, oh, Limehouse kid
Goin' the way
That the rest of them did
Poor broken blossom
And nobody's child
Haunting and taunting
You're just kind of wild
Oh, Limehouse blues
I've the real Limehouse blues
Can't seem to shake off
Those real China blues
Rings on your fingers
And tears for your crown
That is the story
Of old Chinatown
Rings on your fingers
And tears for your crown
That is the story
We are home, we are where we shall be forever.
Trust in me, for you know I won't run away.
From today, this is all that I need and all that I need to say.
Home should be where the heart is, I'm certain as I can be.
Look what you've done
You've really come under the gun
Haven't I told you before
You're more than my number one son
Go and fight and do what's right
According to momma's rule
Don't you love the way I love
Everything you have to do
If you're born to be free
You're born to be with me
So gather your vicious friends
And come and service me
I don't care
Let them live in fear
Of my little bundle of pride and joy
What the world deserves
A bundle of nerves
Come to me my little momma's boy
Look what you've done
You've really come under the gun
Haven't I told you before
You're more than my number one son
I don't care
Let them live in fear
Of my little bundle of pride and joy
What the world deserves
A bundle of nerves
Old man, young man
Preacher saying amen
Taking up collection
Playing on a bass drum
How come the city it never sleeps at night
Red cars, blue cars
Payment overdue cars
Cops with indigestion
Billionaires and some bums
How come the city it never sleeps at night
How come the city it never sleeps at night
Short girls, tall girls
Happy that they're all girls
Walking with some nice man
Holding hands and then some
How come the city it never sleeps at night
Good guys, bad guys
Millionaires and show guys
Losers with their hands out
Patients begging breadcrumb
How come the city it never sleeps at night
The city it never sleeps at night
Long night, short night
Big hellos and goodbyes
Dreams of conversation
Not a single ho-hum
How come the city it never sleeps at night
Old man, young man
Preacher saying amen
Taking up collection
Playing on a bass drum
How come the city it never sleeps at night
Lonely again
No arms around me
You told me that others before you
Were foolish to cause me to cry
And just when I learned to adore you
You kissed one more dream goodbye
And left me lonely again
Just like you found me
Lonely again
No arms around me
Just when I'm sure
That my heart is secure
That my teardrops are dried
With the warm blow inside
And this love of mine
Till the end of the line
That's always the time
That I'm lonely again
You told me you wanted me only
And that this time and this love would last
Well, you told me I'd never be lonely
And now, you belong to the past
And I'm still lonely again
Just like you found me
Lonely again
Nobodys arms around me
Just when I'm sure
That my heart is secure
And my teardrops are dried
With the warm blow inside
And this love of mine
Till the end of the line
That's always the time
You only live twice
Or so it seems
One life for yourself
And one for your dreams
You drift through the years
And life seems tame
Till one dream appears
And love is its name
And love is a stranger
Who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger
Or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you
So pay the price
Make one dream come true
You only live twice
And love is a stranger
Who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger
Or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you
So pay the price
Make one dream come true
There's a little bird that somebody sends
Down to the earth to live on the wind.
Born on the wind and he sleeps on the wind
This little bird that somebody sends.
He's light and fragile and feathered sky blue,
So thin and graceful the sun shines through.
This little bird who lives on the wind,
This little bird that somebody sends.
He flies so high up in the sky
Out of reach of human eye.
And the only time that he touches the ground
Is when that little bird
Is when that little bird
Standin in the crowds
Lost out in the street
Loving the chaos
With my heart down at my feet
Taking every step like it's my (very) last
Looking round the corners
Searching through the glass
For a glimpse of you
Eyes of shining blue
All these memories of you come to haunt me
They come to haunt me
Taste the stinging rain
Falling on my tongue
Hanging on your words
Cherish every one
Can't bring you back no matter what I say
Driving in my car just to drive away
Hear the tires spin
Round and round again
All these memories still come to haunt me
They come to haunt me
The city sleepin' cross the river
I'm up alone burning down the spark
Well I wonder where you are tonight
And how far are you drifted out there, out there in the dark
Wind at my window
Rattling my doors
Pounding on my heart
Like it's never done before
Still I wonder if it could be these memories
No matter how I try (they) never let me be
Always find a way
Calling out your name
All these memories of you stay and haunt me
Mmh come to haunt me
Mmh they still haunt me
You can stay all night if you want to
You can hang out with all of his friends
You can go and meet his mother and father
Better make sure that's where it ends
'Cause, baby there's just one thing that you've gotta know
Let him read your palm and guess your sign
Let him take you home and treat you fine
But, baby
Don't let him waste your time
Don't let him waste your time
'Cause the years flash by in an instant
And you wonder what he's waiting for
Then some skinny bitch walks by in some hot pants
And he's running out the door
So remember that one thing you've gotta know
Let him read your palm and guess your sign
Let him take you home and treat you so fine
But, baby
Don't let him waste your time
Don't let him waste your time
You ain't getting no younger
And you've got nothing to show
So tell him that it's now or never
And then
Go, go, go, go, go
He can have his space
He can take his time
He can kiss you where the sun don't shine
Oh, baby
Don't let him waste your time
Keeping my eyes on the road, I see you
Keeping my hands on the wheel, I hold you
99 miles from L.A.
I kiss you, I miss you, please be there
Passing a white sandy beach, we're sailing
Turning the radio on, we're dancing
99 miles from L.A.
I want you, I need you, please be there
The windshield is covered with rain, I'm crying
Pressing my foot on the gas, I'm flying
Counting the telephone poles, I phone you
Reading the signs on the road, I write you
99 miles from L.A.
We're laughing and we're loving, please be there
The windshield is covered with rain and I'm crying
Pressing my foot on the gas, I'm flying
Keeping my eyes on the road, I see you
Keeping my hands on the wheel, I can hold you
99 miles from L.A.
Hooray for Hollywood
That screwy, ballyhooed Hollywood
Where any office boy or young mechanic
Can be a panic, with just a good looking pan
And any barmaid can be a star maid
If she dances with or without a fan
Hooray for Hollywood
Where you're terrific, if you're even good
Where anyone at all from TV's Lassie
To Monroe's chassis, is equally understood
Go out and try your luck, you might be Donald Duck
Hooray for Hollywood
Hooray for Hollywood
That phony, super coney Hollywood
They come from Chillicothes and Padukahs
With their bazookas to get their names up in lights
All armed with photos from local rotos
With their hair in ribbons and legs in tights
Hooray for Hollywood
You may be homely in your neighborhood
But if you think that you can an actor
See Mr. Factor, he'd make a monkey look good
Within a half an hour, you'll look like Tyrone Power
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Oh you ain't so big, you're just tall, that's all
You got me workin' boss man
A workin' round the clock
I need me a drink of water
But you just won't let me stop
Big boss man, oh, can't you hear me when I call?
You know that you ain't so big
You're just tall, that's all
I got to get myself a boss man
And he's gonna treat me right
He'll work me hard, real hard in the day time
But I sure rest easy and nice
Big boss man, can't you hear? Can't you hear me when I call?
Let me tell you, that you ain't, you ain't so big
You're just tall, that's all
Big boss man
Big boss man
Big boss man
There's a place in the sun for anyone
Who has the will to
Chase one and I think I found mine
Yes I do believe I have found mine.
So, close your eyes
And think of someone you physically admire
And let me kiss you, oh.
Let me kiss you, oh.
I zigzagged all over America
And I cannot find
A safety haven
Say, would you let me cry on your shoulder
I've heard that you'd try anything twice
Close your eyes
And think of someone you physically admire
And let me kiss you, oh.
Let me kiss you, oh.
But then you open your eyes
And you see someone that you physically despise
But my heart is open
My heart is open
Outside there's children laughing
The radio plays my favorite song
The sun is shining
I am peace broke out in the world
And no one says a cruel word
And peace is the sweetest sound
I've ever heard
And baby's coming back to me
Oh baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming home
He was just sleeping somewhere
And now he has come to hold my hand
And we go walking
And the years have all fallen away
And I remember you like yesterday
And the summer's here
So say goodbye to rain
And baby's coming back to me
Oh baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
My baby's coming home
I feel like I am surely dreaming, ahahaha
How can things oh so quickly change?
Yeah, it's strange but
Oh baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Oh, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming home
Oh, baby's coming back to me
Yeah, baby's coming back to me
Oh, baby's coming back to me
Come here baby, hold me close
You've been gone so long
I've been waiting, endless nights
Days go on and on
Honey, I miss you
And I've been so lonely
I know that I promised, I wouldn't
But I've been crying, oh
I've been crying, oh
Baby, please don't go
I've been working so hard
Since we said goodbye
Now you're with me, now you're here
To kiss away these tears from my eyes
Baby, I need you
Walking beside me
I know that I promised, I wouldn't
But I've been crying, oh
I've been crying, oh
Baby, please don't go, no
Honey, I miss you
And I've been so lonely
I know I promised, I wouldn't
But I've been crying, oh
I've been crying
Some people run
Some people crawl
Some people don't even move at all
Some roads lead forward
Some roads lead back
Some roads are bathed in white
Some wrapped in fearful black
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
Where did you go?
Some people never get
And some never give
Some people never die
But some never live
Some folks they treat me mean
Some treat me kind
But most folks just go their way
Don't pay me no mind
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
Where did you go?
Sometimes I'm satisfied
Sometimes I'm not
Sometimes my face is cold
Sometimes it's hot
At sunset I laugh
But at sunrise I cry
At midnight I'm in between
And wondering why
Time, oh time
Where did you go?
Time, oh good good time
People used to bill and coo
But that don't make it with you
Coz there's other things we do
In our time, baby
In our time, yeah
In our time, baby
In our time
Girls were once suffragettes
Now they're out takin' bets
Smokin' filter cigarettes
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time
Holdin' hands in the Louvre
Used to be such a groove
Now some take trips and never move
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time
Mickey Mouse ain't no kid
Since he read the Wizard of Id
He's trying to figure out what he did
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time
Housewives dig rock 'n' roll
If you're wrong you've got soul
If you're twenty then you're old
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
Our own sweet time
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time
In our time, baby
In our time, yeah
In old Savannah
I said Savannah
The weather there is nice and warm
The climate's of a Southern brand
But here's what I don't understand
They got a gal there
A pretty gal there
Who's colder than an arctic storm
Got a heart just like a stone
Even ice men leave her alone.
They call her
Hard-hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Leather is tough, but Hannah's heart is tougher
She's a gal who loves to see men suffer
To tease them and thrill them
To torture and kill them
Is her delight, they say
I saw her at the seashore with a great big pan
There was Hannah, pouring water on a drowning man
She's hard-hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, GA
They call her hard-hearted Hannah,
The Vamp of Savannah
The meanest gal in town
Talk of your cold, refrigerating mamas;
Brother, she's the polar bear's pajamas
To tease them and thrill them
To torture and kill them
Is her delight, they say
An evening spent with Hannah sitting on your knees
Is like traveling through Alaska in your BVD's
She's hard-hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, GA
Can you imagine a woman as cold as Hannah?
She's got the right name, the Vamp of Savannah
Anytime a woman can take a great big pan
Start pouring water on a drowning man
She's hard-hearted Hannah
The Vamp of Savannah, GA
I gotta get out of this town
I gotta go some place
I gotta get out of this town
And forget your face
There ain't nothin' I want
From nobody like you
I got some places I itch
I got some scratchin' to do
I gotta get out of this town
I gotta get out of this town
(Gotta get out of this town)
I gotta get me a man
(Gotta get her a man)
I gotta get out of this town
(Gotta get out of this town)
You're more than I can stand
(You're more than she can stand)
I gotta get out of this town
I gotta go somewhere
I gotta get out of this town
I hope it's over there
I'm gonna plant a love tree
I'm gonna pick me some
I want some peaches and cream
I'm tired of nothin' but plums
I gotta get out of this town
I gotta get out of this town
(Gotta get out of this town)
I gotta find me a man
(Gotta find her a man)
I gotta get out of this town
(Gotta get out of this town)
You're more than I can stand
(You're more than she can stand)
I gotta get out of this town
(Gotta get out of this town)
Let me out of this town
(Gotta get out of this town)
I want out of this town
(Gotta get out of this town)
I gotta get out of this town
(Gotta get out of this town)
Gotta get out of this town
The cars leave their trails of hot & cold light inside my head
Like burned-in long exposure pictures
The wheels spin slowly backwards
Strobing in the amber light
And the rain comes down and washes my brain
But it don't get clean
This town has turned me into what I have become
This town dresses me up like a stranger
This town performs in the window like the ultimate gift
This town takes us down
I feel like I'm losing you to this town
We were saving our money for half of our lives
We were saving our dreams
And we came to this place to make the chances real in the big city
But I've been counting the days I've been watching you change
And I can feel it dying
The noise outside takes you in it's arms like a lamb to a lion
And down there somewhere among the noise
The magazine dolls and the big money boys
Move silently on their easy heels
They move silently on their greasy wheels
This town has turned me into what I have become
This town dresses you up like a stranger
This town hangs around in the doorway and tells me I'm late
This town takes us down, takes us down
I feel like I'm losing you to this town
Mothers lock your daughters in

For once in my life I've got someone who needs me, someone I've needed so long
For once unafraid I can go where life leads me, and somehow I know I'll be strong
For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew someone warm like you
Could make my dreams come true
For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me, not like it's hurt me before
For once I've got someone I know won't desert me, and I'm not alone anymore
For once I can say: "This is mine you can't take it"
As long as I've got love I know I can make it
Last night I went trippin' out with someone new
Headin' straight to where I knew you'd be
So c'mon baby tell me what it did to you
When you saw that stranger kissin' me
You ain't gonna treat me
Like no alley cat
And if I broke your heart last night
Sorry 'bout that
You keep tellin' me that you don't care no more
Like you're the only joker in the deck
Well I'd just like to know what you were shakin' for
When he put his arms around my neck
And you ain't gonna treat me
Like no alley cat
And if I broke your heart last night
Gee, I'm sorry 'bout that
And you tell me my motor just ain't runnin' right
He tells me I'm pretty well equipped
So baby tell me why your face kept turnin' white
Every time I sent him on a trip
I'm tired of bein' treated, yeah
Like your alley cat
So if I broke your heart last night
You know how sorry I am about that
spoken:
When it's over, it's really over
I'm afraid second times just can't be
When it's over, it's really over
And it's over between you and me
We've tried it again, oh, why do we pretend?
Let's give up and just throw that old towel in
Now we both know love's gone
So why do we hang on
Let's quit while we still can be friends
When it's over, it's really over
I'm afraid second times just cannot be
When it's over, it's really over
I never will forget, Jeanette Macdonald
Just to think of her, it gives my heart a pang
I never will forget, how that brave Jeanette
Just stood there in the ruins and sang, and sang
San Francisco, open your golden gate
You'll let nobody wait outside your door
San Francisco, here is your wanderin' one
Sayin' I'll wander no more
Other places only make me love you best
Tell me you're the one in all the golden west
San Francisco, I'm coming home again
Never to roam again
San Francisco, right when I arrive
I really come alive
And you will laugh to see me
Perpendicular, hanging on a cable car
San Francisco, let me beat my feet
Up and down Market street
I'm gonna climb Nob hill, just to watch it get dark
From the top of the mark
There's Brooklyn bridge, London bridge
And the bridge of San Louis Rey
But the only bridge, that's a real gone bridge
Is the bridge across the bay to
San Francisco, I'm coming home again
Never to roam again, by God
San Francisco, I don't mean frisco
I've told you that I'm Lightning's girl
But you keep hanging 'round
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to put you down
(spoken) About six feet!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down... yeah
Better stop your grooving 'round
Another rooster's hen
If Lightning ever catches you
He's got to do you in
(spoken) In about two minutes!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Here comes Lightning down the street
While you just stand there talking
If I were you I'd start to move
And tell my story walking
(spoken) About a hundred miles an hour!
Stay away from Lightning's girl
And this part of town
Stay away from Lightning's girl
Or he'll put you down
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Stay away from Lightning's g-i-r-l
Nights are long since you went away.
I think about you all through the day.
My buddy, my buddy.
Nobody quite so true.
I miss your voice, the touch of your hand.
I long to know that you understand.
My buddy, my buddy.
Your buddy misses you.
I miss your voice, the touch of your hand.
I long to know that you understand.
My buddy, my buddy.
(Chorus)
Strawberries, cherries and an angel's kissing spring.
My Summerwine is really made from all these things...
I walked in town on silver spurs that jingle too,
a song that I had only singed to just a few.
She saw my silver spurs and said 'let's pass some time
and I will give to you
summerwine
Oh!, summerwine
(Chorus)
take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
and I wil give to you
summerwine
Oh, oh!, summerwine
My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar lie
and then she gave to me
more summerwine
More summerwine
(Chorus)
take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
and I will give to you
summerwine
Mm, mm, summerwine
When I woke up the sun was shinning in my eyes,
my silver spurs were gone, my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs, a dollar and a dime
and left me craving for
more summerwine
more summerwine
(Chorus)
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
and I will give to you
my summerwine
(Feelin' kinda Sunday, feelin' kinda Sunday, feelin' kinda Sunday)
(Feelin' kinda Sunday, feelin' kinda Sunday, feelin' kinda Sunday)
Hey Mr. Sunlight, gonna outshine your bright,
I'm talking out of my head, I'm so high on life.
Don't you know that it's gonna be a "thousand-and-one" day.
And I'm feelin' kinda Sunday, (feelin' kinda Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday.
Pardon my glow-on, but from the high I'm on,
I see myself in this world right where I belong,
There's nothing can hold me down , it's a "get-up-and-run" day.
And I'm feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday),
Feelin' kinda Sunday, (Sunday).
The bells I hear in me say I should be getting up soon,
Been travelling all morning long, but I'm still here in my room.
Got to give in to (in to) this feelin' I'm on to, (I'm on to)
I'm looking at love coloured windows, and liking the view,
It's just the beginning of a happy go funday,
And I'm feelin' kinda Sunday (feelin' kinda Sunday),
Feelin' kinda Sunday (feelin' kinda Sunday),
Feelin' kinda Sunday (feelin' kinda Sunday).
(La, la la la la, la la la la, la la la la la la la,)
It's just the beginning of a happy go funday,
And I'm feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday)
Feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday), feelin' kinda Sunday (Sunday)
Don't talk to strangers on the bus
You know that could be dangerous
Don't walk on stick or stones
Don't answer ringing phones
You know I got to worry
Til you bring your groovy self on home to me
Don't take up with no alley cats
They really don't know where it's at
Don't fall or trip on things
Stay away from happenings
You know I got to worry
Til you bring your groovy self on home to me
Be careful walking down the street
You never know what you might meet
Don't change a thing or two
I'm hung up child on you
You know I got to worry
Til you bring your groovy self on home to me
Lee:
Young woman share your fire with me
My heart is cold, my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land
A wandering man, call me sand
Nancy:
Oh sir my fire is very small
It will not warm thy heart at all
But thee may take me by the hand
Hold me and I'll call thee sand
Lee:
Young woman share your fire with me
My heart is cold, my soul is free
I am a stranger in your land
A wandering man, call me sand
Nancy:
At night when stars light up the sky
Oh sir I dream my fire is high
Oh taste these lips sir if you can
Wandering man, I call thee sand
Nancy:
Oh sir my fire is burning high
If it should stop sir I would die
A shooting star has crossed my land
Wandering man
Lee:
She whispered sand
Nancy:
(Whispers) Sand
Lee:
Young woman shared her fire with me
Now warms herself with memory
I was a stranger in her land
A wandering man, she called me sand
Nancy:
He was a stranger in my land
A wandering man
Lee:
You never close your eyes, anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it, but baby, baby I know it
You've lost that lovin' feelin, whoa that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin now it's gone, gone, gone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Now there's no welcome look, in your eyes when I reach, for you
And you're starting to criticize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying, cause baby, something beautiful's dying
You've lost that lovin' feelin, whoa that lovin' feelin'
You've lost that lovin' feelin now it's gone, gone, gone
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby, baby, I'd get down on my knees for you
If you would only, love me like you used to do, yeah
We had a love, a love, a love you don't find everyday
So don't, don't, don't, don't let it slip away
Baby, baby, baby, baby, I beg you please, please, please, please
I need your love, need your love, I need your love, need your love
So bring it on back, bring it on back, bring it on back, bring it on back
Bring back, that lovin' feelin', whoa, that lovin' feelin'
Bring back that lovin' feelin', cause it's gone, gone, gone
And I can't go on, whoa, whoa, whoa
Bring back, that lovin' feelin', whoa, that lovin' feelin'
You're not a dream, you're not an angel
You're a man
I'm not a queen, I'm a woman
Take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives
That we'd planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Yes, we're different, worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played at the start
Like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me, love me, just love me now
This love of mine, had no beginning
And it has no end
I was an oak but now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
You're not a dream, you're not an angel
You're a man
I'm not a queen, I'm a woman
Just take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives
That we'd planned
And here we'll stay
Until it's time for you to go
Ive seen the Golden Gate at San Francisco Bay
Ive seen the Empire State and walked down old Broadway
Ive seen those Northern Lights in some Alaskan town
Since I saw you with her I move, I Move Around.
Ive seen a movie star at Hollywood and Vine
Ive seen the Zanzibar and heard the Big Ben chime
Ive seen the Eiffel and Ive been in new Cape Town
Since I saw you with her I move, yeah, I Move Around.

Ive seen a matador in Barcelona cry
Ive seen old Singapore, the bridge on River Kwai
Ive seen the Mardi Gras and been in one-horse towns
Since I saw you with her I move, Baby I Move Around
I keep movin around
It's such a pretty world today, look at the sunshine
(Look at the sunshine)
And every day's the same since I met you
It's such a pretty world today, knowing that you're mine
(Knowing that you're mine)
And happiness is being close to you
And though the rain may fall our skies will all be blue
If I look close enough the sun will come shining through
It's such a pretty world today look at the sunshine
(Look at the sunshine)
Today and every day since I met you
It's such a pretty world today, look at the sunshine
(Look at the sunshine)
And every day's the same since I met you

(Knowing that you're mine)
And happiness is being close to you
And though the rain may fall my skies will all be blue
If I look close enough the sun will come shining through
It's such a pretty world today, look at the sunshine
(Look at the sunshine)
I remember when we were children playing in the fields, I loved you truely even then and you know I always will. Climbin' over creek banks down by the cotton gin. Chasin' papa's billy goat tearin' my petticoat you cried when I got a whippin'. You cried when my puppy died just because I cried.
And I've heard you laugh when in my heart I knew you wanted to cry and when the truth it might have hurt me I've heard you tell a lie and that is why I love you like I do.
God knows I love you. God knows I do
Now I carry sweet and gentle your first baby child. I live within the bright anticipation of your smile. Even in the bad times it seems like you never gave in. Standin' behind me and fightin' for me blindly and cryin' when I get a whippin'. You cried when my puppy died just because I cried. And I've heard you laugh when in my heart I knew you wanted to cry. And when the truth might have hurt me I; ve heard you tell a lie and that is why I love you like I do
Listen, big boy,
Now that you got me made,
Goodness, but I'm afraid,
Somethin's gonna happen to you!
Listen, big boy,
You gotta be hooked, and how,
I would die if I should lose you now!
Button up your overcoat,
When the wind is free,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Eat an apple every day,
Get to bed by three,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Be careful crossing streets, ooh-ooh,
Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh,
Lay off meat, ooh-ooh,
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!
Wear your flannel underwear,
When you climb a tree,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Button up your overcoat,
When the wind is free,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
When you sass a traffic cop,
Use diplomacy;
Just take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Beware of frozen funds, ooh-ooh,
Stocks and bonds, ooh-ooh,
Dockside thugs, ooh-ooh,
You'll get a pain and ruin your bankroll!
Keep the spoon out of your cup,
When you're drinking tea,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Don't sit on hornet's tails, ooh-ooh!
Or on nails, ooh-ooh!
Or third rails, ooh-ooh!
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!
Keep away from bootleg hooch
When you're on a spree,
Oh, take good care of yourself,
Well, East coast girls are hip
I really dig those styles they wear
And the Southern girls with the way they talk
They knock me out when I'm down there
The Midwest farmer's daughters
They all make you feel alright
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
The West coast has the sunshine
And the girls all get so tanned
I dig a French bikini on Hawaii island
I'm lost by a palm tree in the sand
I been all around this great big world
And I've seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California girls
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I wish they all could be California
I know I stand in line until you think
You have the time to spend an evening with me
And if we go someplace to dance
I know that there's a chance you won't be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place
And have a drink or two
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
Something stupid like I love you
I can see it in your eyes that you despise
The same old lines you heard the night before
And though it's just a line to you for me it's true
And never seemed so right before
I practice everyday to find some clever lines
To say to make the meaning come true
But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late
And I'm alone with you
The time is right your perfume fills my head
The stars get red and on the nights so blue
And then I go and spoil it all by saying
Amor estoy solo agui en la playa
Es el sol quien que me acompana
Y me quema, y me quema, y me quemana
Cuando calienta el sol aqui en la playa
Siento tu cuerpo vibrar cerca de mi
Es tu palpitar, es tu cara, es tu pelo
Son tus besos, me estremezco (Oh oh oh)
Cuando calienta el sol
Cuando calienta el sol aqui en la playa
Siento tu cuerpo vibrar cerca de mi
Es tu palpitar, tu recuerdo, mi locura
Mi delirio, me estremezco (Oh oh oh)
Cuando calienta el sol
Honey dear, want you near,
Just turn out the lights and then come over here!
Nestle close, up to my side,
My heart's afire, with love's desire
In my arms, rest complete,
I never thought that life could ever be so sweet
'Til I met you, some time ago,
But now you know,
I love you so!
Oh, you beautiful doll!
You great, big, beautiful doll!
Let me put my arms about you,
I could never live without you.
Oh, you beautiful doll!
You great, big, beautiful doll!
If you ever leave me how my heart would ache,
I want to hug you but I fear you'd break
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,
Oh, You Beautiful Doll!
Precious prize, close your eyes,
Now we're goin' to visit lover's paradise,
Press your lips,
Again to mine,
For love is king of ev'rything
Squeeze me dear, I don't care!
Hug me just as if you were a grizzly bear
This is how I'll go through life,
No care or strife, when you're my wife...
Oh, you beautiful doll!
You great, big, beautiful doll!
Let me put my arms about you,
I could never live without you.
Oh, you beautiful doll!
You great, big, beautiful doll!
If you ever leave me how my heart would ache,
I want to hug you but I fear you'd break
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh,
If for each bit of gladness
Someone must taste the sadness
I'll bare the sorrow
Let it be me
No matter what the price is
I'll make the sacrifices
Through each tomorrow
Let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always
Let it be me
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me
Si tu me condamne
Je t'aime, mon amour
Au court des flambers
Je n'ai peur rien
Je t'appartien
If you're feeling sad and lonely
There's a service I can render
Tell the one who loves you only
I can be so warm and tender
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around
When it seems your friends desert you
There's somebody thinking of you
I'm the one who'll never hurt you
Maybe that's because I love you
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around
Now don't forget me
'Cause if you let me
I will always stay by you
You gotta trust me
That's how it must be
There's so much that I can do
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
Tell me and I'll be around
If you call I'll be right with you
You and I should be together
Take this love I long to give you
I'll be at your side forever
Call me, don't be afraid, you can call me
Maybe it's late, but just call me
There's no one in this world for me
There's never gonna be
There's no one in this world needs me
There's never gonna be
Yet sometimes in my dreams I hear
Sundown, I miss you sundown
Sundown, I need you sundown
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
I need you sundown, I need you sundown
There's no hands ever reached for me
There's never gonna be
There's no one meant for lonely me
There's never gonna be
Yet sometimes in my dreams I hear
Sundown, I miss you sundown
Sundown, I want you sundown
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
Come on, come on, come on, come on back to me
I love you sundown
I love you sundown
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
You only live twice or so it seems
One life for yourself and one for your dreams
You drift through the years and life seems tame
Till one dream appears and love is it's name
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price
Make one dream come true, you only live twice
And love is a stranger who'll beckon you on
Don't think of the danger or the stranger is gone
This dream is for you, so pay the price
