It's a down-right rotten, Low down dirty shame Lord it's a down right rotten low down dirty shame The way that you treated me Lord I know I'm not to blame
Jelly jelly jelly Jelly stays on my mind Jelly jelly jelly Jelly stays on my mind Jelly roll killed my pappy, And drove my mama stone blind.

I gets the bonus points and all your points, too! [guffaw-e]
Well it must be jelly 'cause jam don't shake like that! Well, it must be jelly 'cause jam don't shake like that! Well keep swingin' that jelly 'Cause I'm sure a swingin' cat!
I'm like a one-eyed cat, peepin' in a sea-food store, I'm like a one-eyed cat, peepin' in a sea-food store; I can look at you, till you don't love me no more.
I believe you been doin' me wrong and now I know, I believe you been doin' me wrong and now I know; The more I work, the faster my money goes.
I think SilkMuse just beat us, Connie, so we'll have to start over ...that's a pretty nifty combo, there SM (jellicle cats)!
Nashville Cats The Lovin' Spoonful - peak Billboard position # 8 in 1967 - Words and Music by John B. Sebastian
CHORUS Nashville Cats, play clean as country water Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies Nashville Cats, get work before they're two
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville And they can pick more notes than the number of ants On a Tennessee anthill Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar cases in Nashville And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play Twice as better than I will
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a Musical proverbial knee-high When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes And they blasted me sky-high And the record man said every one is a Yellow Sun Record from Nashville And up North there ain't nobody buys them And I said, "But I will"
And it was CHORUS
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n' twenty one Mothers from Nashville All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight If one of the kids will Because it's custom made for any mother's son To be a guitar picker in Nashville And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about The music and the mothers from Nashville
High and dry in the long hot day Lost and lonely in every way Got the flats all around me sky up above I need a little water of love
I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain I believe I have taken enough I need a little water of love
Water of love deep in the ground No water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It'll carry that water of love to me
There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high Waiting for me to die If I don't get some water soon I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon
Once I had a woman I could call my own Once I had a woman now my woman is gone Once there was a river now there's a stone You know it's evil when you're living alone
Left a good job in the city, Working for The Man every night and day, And I never lost one minute of sleeping, Worrying 'bout the way things might have been.
Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning, Rolling, rolling, rolling on the river.
Dere's an ol' man called de Mississippi; Dat's de ol' man dat I'd like to be! What does he care if de world's got troubles? What does he care if de land ain't free? Ol' Man River, Dat Ol' Man River He mus' know sumpin' But don't say nuthin', He jes' keeps rollin', He keeps on rollin' along. He don't plant taters, He don't plant cotton, An' dem dat plants 'em Is soon forgotten, But Ol' Man River, He jes' keeps rollin' along You an' me, we sweat an' strain, Body all achin' an' racked wid pain - Tote dat barge! Lif' dat bale! Git a little drunk, An' you land in jail... Ah gits weary An' sick of tryin'; Ah'm tired of livin' An skeered of dyin', But Ol' Man River, He jes' keeps rollin' along
Couldn't you use a song that actually had some English in it WO'N?
She reminds me of the breath of summer sun That breaks the cool daylight when morning has begun Shine on sunshine; paint my life of grey Shine on sunshine; warm my life always. Better yet by far the best I ever saw; The rain that breaks your heart Won't bend our love for sure So shine on sunshine, spread your light my way; Shine on sunshine, weave your spell always. Oh I get weary but she only has to smile And all my fear is soon forgotten for a while.
starry, starry night paint your palette blue and grey. look out on a summer's day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. shadows on the hills sketch the trees and the daffodils catch the breeze and the winter chills in colors on the snowy linen land
Are the stars out tonight I don't know if it's cloudy or bright I only have eyes for you The moon may be high but I can't see a thing in the sky I only have eyes for you.
I do know if I'm in a garden Or on a crowdedavenue you are here so am I Maybe millions of people go by - But they all disappear from view Because I only have eyes for you.

And now the purple dusk of twilight time Steals across the meadows of my heart High up in the sky the little moon starts to ....b ...m ..i .l c Always reminding me that we're apart You wandered down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now the stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone by
Sometimes I wonder why I spend a lonely night dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie, and I am once again with you When our love was new and each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago, now my consolation is in the stardust of a song.
Beside a garden wall, when starsare bright, you are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale Of paradise where roses grew Though I dream in vain, in my heart it will remain My stardust melody, The memory of love's refrain

Oh yeah, Stardust, the song voted by the Songwriters Of America as the most perfect song written in the 20th century, oh yeah, that Stardust...
Heavenly shades of night are falling, It's twilight time. Out of the mist your voice is calling, It's twilight time, When purple colored curtains Mark the end of the day. I hear you my dear at twilight time. Deepening shadows gather splendor As day is done. Fingers of night will soon surrender The setting sun. I count the moments, darling, Till you're here with me, Together at last at twilight time.
Here, in the after-glow of day, We keep our __ beneath the blue. ___________ \___ rendez-vous Here, in the sweet and same old way, I f ll in love again as I did then.
a
Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me Like days of old. Lighting the spark of love that fills me With dreams untold. Each day I pray for evening just To be with you, Together at last at twilight time...... Together at last at twilight time.
That's just too cool, Milo! I'd give you an extra .25 [read: a generous 1/4th of a point] in addition to the normal portion of originality points just for that maneuver!
I hear you calling and you don't have to call so loud I see you falling and you don't have to walk so proud You can run all night but we can take you where You can shout out in anger You can laugh like a fool You can cry like an angel
I am Rosemary's granddaughter The spitting image of my father And when the day is done my momma's still my biggest fan Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy But I've got friends that love me And they know just where I stand It's all a part of me And that's who I am
I walk 47 miles of barbed wire, I use a cobra-snake for a necktie, I got a brand new house on the roadside, Made from rattlesnake hide, I got a brand new chimney made on top, Made out of a human skull, Now come on take a walk with me, Arlene, And tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love?
I gota tombstone hand and a graveyard mind, I'm just 22 and I don't mind dying.
Who do you love? Who do you love?
I rode around the town, use a rattlesnake whip, Take it easy Arlene, don't give me no lip,
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Night was dark, but the sky was blue, Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew, Heard a bUMp, and somebody ScreeeameD, You should have heard just what I seen.
Who do you love? Who do you love?
Arlene took me by my hand, And she said ooowee Bo, you know I understand.
Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love?
Who do you love Who do you love Girl I know that you are torn between what was and what could be I wanna know, gotta know, wanna know, gotta know Who do you love Who do you love Oh yeah
