Just a little green
Like the color when the spring is born
There'll be crocuses to bring to school tomorrow
Just a little green
Like the nights when the Northern lights perform
There'll be icicles and birthday clothes
And sometimes there'll be sorrow
Little Green~Joni Mitchell

It’s not easy being green
It’s not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or
yellow or gold-
Or something much more colorful like that.
It’s not easy being green.
It seems you blend in with so many other
ordinary things.
And people tend to pass you over ‘cause you’re
not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water-
or stars in the sky.
But green’s the color of Spring.
And green can be cool and friendly-like.
And green can be big like an ocean, or important
like a mountain, or tall like a tree.
When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why?
Wonder, I am green and it’ll do fine,
it’s beautiful!
And I think it’s what I want to be.

not a contiguous word match, but...
I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I’ll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Though life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I’d be without you
If you should ever leave me
Well life would still go on believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me
God only knows what I’d be without you
God Only Knows (surprise!)

See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side
I wait for you
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait without you
With or without you
With or without you...

They sat together in the park
As the evening sky grew dark,
She looked at him and he felt a spark tingle to his bones.
'Twas then he felt alone and wished that he'd gone straight
And watched out for a simple twist of fate.

We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout,
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around,
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson,
Look out Jackson town.
Well, go on down to Jackson; go ahead and wreck your health.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself,
Yeah, go to Jackson; go comb your hair!
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson.
See if I care.
When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow. (Hah!)
All them women gonna make me, teach 'em what they don't know how,
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat.
'Cos I'm goin' to Jackson.
"Goodbye," that's all she wrote.
But they'll laugh at you in Jackson, and I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg.
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound,
With your tail tucked between your legs,
Yeah, go to Jackson, you big-talkin' man.
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan Fan.
I'm Goin' To Jackson

Take my word, the mockingbird
He will sing the saddest kind of song,
He knows things are wrong and he's right.
From natchez to mobile, from memphis to st. joe,
Wherever the four winds seem to blow,
I've been in some big towns and I've heard me some big talkin',
But there is one thing I know,
A woman's a two-face, she's a worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing the blues in the night.
~Ella Fitzgerald, Blues in the Night, Mercer/Arlen.

And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red.

Earache My Eye
My momma talkin' to me tryin' to tell me how to live
But I don't listen to her 'cause my head is like a sieve
My daddy, he disowned me 'cause I wear my sister's clothes
He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose
My basketball coach, he done kicked me off the team
For wearin' high-heel sneakers and actin' like a queen
The world's comin' to an end, I don't even care
As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair
And it don't bother me if people think I'm "funny"
'Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm makin' lots of money
money, money, money, money, money, money
Ahhh! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...
I'm so bloody rich! Ha ha ha ha
I own apartment buildings and shopping centers! Ha ha ha ha
And I only know three chords! Ha ha ha ha

When I come home one night
I was tired as a man can be
I saw a hat on the dresser
Where my hat suppose to be
I said "Wake up, Baby
Explain all this stuff to me,
Whose hat is that on the dresser
Where my hat, suppose to be?"
She said "you must be silly, you talk like funny,
Why don't you open up your eyes and see.
You know that hat, ain't nothing but a wash pan
That my mother-in-law sunt to me."
Well I've been all over the World
And the Gulf of Mexico
But I ain't never saw no wash pan
With no hatband around it befo'.
The next night when I come home
I was tired as a man can be
I saw a mule in my stable
Where my mule suppose to be
I said "Wake up, little girl
Explain all this stuff to me
Whose mule is that in my stable
Where my mule, suppose to be?"
She said " You must silly - Daddy you ain't talking right,
Why don't you open up your eyes and see?
You know that mule, ain't nothing but a milk cow
That my grandmother, sunt to me".
I've been all, over the World
And the Gulf of Mexico
But I ain't never saw no milk cow
With no saddle on its back befo'
Wake Up, Baby

I wonder if we could play this game like Antakshari, the hindi equivalent, when each succeeding song segment has to start with the last leter of the preceding song segment.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes, everybody knows
Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long stem rose, everybody knows
Leonard Cohen, "Everybody Knows"

Life is too short so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get shot.
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest.
Never start no static I just get it off my (chest).
Take a small example, a tip from me...
Take all of your money and give it up to charity.
Lovin’s what I got, it’s within my reach
It all comes back to you you’re going to get what you deserve.
Try and test that, you’re bound to get served.
Love’s what I got, don’t start a riot,
You feel it when the dance gets hot.
Lovin’, is what I got, I said remember that.
Lovin’, is what I got, I said remember that.
Why I don’t cry when my dog runs away.
What I Got~Sublime

...Re-mem-mem, re-mem-mem-mem-ber oop-shoop then
Then , remember then
That night we fell in love
Beneath the stars above
That was a lovely summer night
Remember then, then, then, then, then
Summer's over
Our love is over
To lose that love was such a sin
Remember, re-mem-mem, mem-mem-mem-mem-ber
Our love is in the past
patta-past
Oh, has it gone so fast
patta-past
Why couldn't our love last?
Can't last
Wop, wop, patta patta pop-pop, shoo-wop-dah bop bop, ooh
I'm broken-hearted now
Since we have parted now
My mind wanders now and then
Remember then, then, then, then, then

New York State of Mind
Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach or Hollywood.
I'm taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River line
I'm in a New York state of mind.

I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina coladas
I heard a dark voice beside me say
Would you like something harder
She said I've got it you want it
My harvest is the best
And if you try it you'll like it
And wallow in a Dreadlock Holiday
And I say
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her
Don't like Jamaica oh no
I love her oh yea
Don't you walk thru her words
You got to show some respect
Don't you walk thru her words
'Cause you ain't heard her out yet

Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
We would stay there ’till her sister rang the evening bell
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
Say you will come again tomorrow
Jamaica Say You Will~written by Jackson Browne, but I like the Tom Rush version better

Now they may take away your job
Take your fancy car
They may repossess your clothes, take that fine guitar
They may take everything you own
Well that's just for today
As long as you've got a song in your heart
Tomorrow's gonna be O.K.

Because Elvis gave 'em cars
You think I'm cheap
And you're hard done by
Look-you live here like a star
Rent free suite
Big blue pool that you sun by
Trips to tropic shores
Clothes from fancy stores
You want too much
You want too badly
You want everything for nothing

There was a problem the solution a problem again
The other side set on laissez faire
A crack in the image another form to amend
If a tree fell in the forest would anyone care?
And then it was over and done that's it
And then it was over and done that's it

man i'm losing sound and sight
of all those who can tell me wrong from right
when all things beautiful and bright
sink in the night
yet there's still something in my heart
that can find a way
to make a start
to turn up the signal
wipe out the noise
wipe out the noise
wipe out the noise
you know that's it
you know that's it
you know that's it...

You were my first thought
First thought in the morning
Just like the last time
You were mine that night
I just can't get away
From this holiday in my heart
When we are apart
I'll send a message to your heart

Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I’ll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take...

Affecting almost everything
The more I hear the orchestra
The more I have something to bring
And now I see you in a beautiful
And different light...

Lady
Lady, when you're with me I'm smiling
Give me all your love
Your hands build me up when I'm sinking
Touch me and my troubles all fade
Lady, from the moment I saw you
Standing all alone
You gave all the love that I needed
So shy, like a child who has grown
'Cause you're my lady of the morning
Love shines in your eyes
Sparkling, clear, and lovely
You're my lady

Sorry girls, you lose, etaoin is johnny-on-the-spot with the correct answer.
Doesn't surprize, that etaoin has got a head on his shoulders
like a glass of beer which is exactly what will be waiting on him free-on-board at Faunsdale Cajun Bar and grill,
open at 3:00 in the morning during deer season.
Congratulations, etaoin.

Happy to oblige, Kelly123
My great Uncle Kenny would argue with himself long and loud about who had more panache,
the upstart Ink Spots or the Brothers Mills. Across the alley from the Alamo Lived a pinto pony and a Navajo Who sang a sort of Indian "Hi-de-ho" To the people passin' by The pinto spent his time a-swishin' flies And the Navajo watched the lazy skies And very rarely did they ever rest their eyes On the people passin' by One day, they went a walkin' along the railroad track They were swishin' not a-lookin' Toot! Toot!, they never came back Oh, across the alley from the Alamo When the summer sun decides to settle low A fly sings an Indian "Hi-de-ho" To the people passing by. Across The Alley From The Alamo

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a Dental Floss tycoon

Movin' to Montana soon
Gonna be a mennil-toss flykune
I'm pluckin' the ol' Dennil Floss
That's growin' on the prairie
Pluckin' the floss!
I plucked all day an' all nite an' all Afternoon...
I'm ridin' a small tiny hoss
(His name is MIGHTY LITTLE)
He's a good hoss
Even though He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or

He's a bit dinky to strap a big saddle or

Any way I'm pluckin' the ol' Dennil Floss
Even if you think it is a little silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I don't care if you think it's silly, folks
I'm gonna find me a horse
Just about this big
An' ride him all along the border line
With a Pair of heavy-duty
Zircon-encrusted tweezers in my hand
Every other wrangler would say
I was mighty grand
By myself I wouldn't
Have no boss
But I'd be raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Raisin' my lonely Dental Floss
Well I might Ride along the border
With my tweezers gleamin'
In the moon-lighty night
And then I'd Get a cuppa cawfee
N' give my foot a push...
Just me 'n the pymgy pony
Over the Dennil Floss Bush
N' then I might just Jumb back on
An' ride Like a cowboy
Into the dawn to Montana

Say, Kelly123, will you kindly explain to the out-group what Frank Zappa meant in concocting the strange lyrics you posted above?
Thanks. There were bells on a hill But I never heard them ringing No I never heard them at all 'Til there was you There were birds in the sky But I never saw them winging No I never saw them at all 'Til there was you Then there was music And wonderful rosesThey tell me in sweet fragrant Meadows of dawn and dew There was love all around But I never heard it singing No I never heard it at all 'Til there was you ANITA BRYANT singing "Til There Was You"

...will you explain to the out-group what Frank Zappa meant in concocting... Yeah, that'll happen.  ******* Dig if u will the picture Of u and I engaged in a kiss The sweat of your body covers me Can u my darling Can u picture this? Dream if u can a courtyard An ocean of violets in bloom Animals strike curious poses They feel the heat The heat between me and u <refrain> How can u just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold) Maybe I'm just 2 demanding Maybe I'm just like my father 2 bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied) Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry Touch if u will my stomach Feel how it trembles inside You've got the butterflies all tied up Don't make me chase u Even doves have pride <refrain>, etc. When Doves Cry - The artist currently known as "Prince". (My apologies for the cut and pasting that retained the "u" for the word "you". I'm sure yule survive.)

Movin’ to the country,
Gonna eat a lot of peaches
Peaches come from a can,
They were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
If I had my little way,
I’d eat peaches every day
Sun-soakin’ bulges in the shade
Take a little naps where the roots all twist
Squished a rotten peach in my fist
And dreamed about you, woman,
I poked my finger down inside
Make a little room for it to hide
Nature’s candy in my hand or can or a pie
Millions of peaches, peaches for me
Millions of peaches, peaches for free
Look out!
Peaches, The Presidents of the United States

Just a town like any other a second brand new start
A third or fourth hand wife or lover no, you won't break her heart
Take some bacon go on and leave your watch chain
She won't count on nothing more
Wrap your hands around that small change
and tiptoe barefoot out the door
Yes, something's wrong that restless feeling's been preying on my mind
When things get bad I'm bound to pack my bags and just
Leave them all behind

I'm Alabamy bound
They'll be no heebie-jeebies hanging 'round
Just gave the meanest ticket man on earth
All I'm worth, to put my tootsies in an upper berth.
Just hear the choo-choo sound
I know that soon we're gonna cover ground
And then I'll holler so the world will know,
Here I go!
I'm Alabamy,
I'm Alabamy bound
(I'm gone.)
Alabamy Bound
______________Al Jolson
I'm Alabamy bound (I'm Alabamy bound)
I'm Alabamy bound (I'm Alabamy bound)
And if the train don't stop and turn around
I'm Alabamy bound (I'm Alabamy bound)
(Hair don't curl)
And your eyes ain't blue
'Cause if you don't want me, sweet Polly Ann
(Well, I don't want you)
I'm Alabamy bound
And if the train down stop and turn around
I'm Alabamy bound (I'm Alabamy bound)
Alabamy Bound

Said Red Molly to James "That's a fine motorbike A girl could feel special on any such like" Said James to Red Molly, "Well my hat's off to you It's a Vincent Black Lightning, 1952And I've seen you at the corners and cafes it seems Red hair and black leather, my favorite color scheme" And he pulled her on behind And down to Box Hill they did ride "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" Richard Thompson

(What, Consuelo? I thought Van Morrison died in England of a drug overdose about a year after he recorded "Light My Fire" )I was down at the New Amsterdam staring at this yellow-haired girl Mr. Jones strikes up a conversation with this black-haired flamenco dancer She dances while his father plays guitar She's suddenly beautiful We all want something beautiful I wish I was beautiful So come dance this silence down through the morning Cut Maria! Show me some of them Spanish dances Pass me a bottle, Mr. Jones Believe in me Help me believe in anything I want to be someone who believes Mr. Jones and me, tell each other fairy tales
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you. Ah, no, no, she's looking at me."
Smiling in the bright lights
Coming through in stereo
When everybody loves you, you can never be lonelyI will paint my picture Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful Grey is my favorite colorI felt so symbolic yesterday If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play Mr. Jones and me look into the future
Stare at the beautiful women
"She's looking at you.
Uh, I don't think so. She's looking at me."
Standing in the spotlight
I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonelyI want to be a lion Everybody wants to pass as cats We all want to be big big stars, but we got different reasons for that Believe in me, because I don't believe in anything, and I want to be someone, to believe, to believe... Mr. Jones and me stumbling through the barrio
Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
"She's perfect for you, Man, there's got to be somebody for me."
I want to be Bob Dylan
Mr. Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
When everybody loves you, son, that's just about as funky as you can beMr. Jones and me, staring at the video When I look at the television, I want to see me staring right back at me We all want to be big stars, but we don't know why and we don't know how But when everybody loves me, I'm going to be just about as happy as can be Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars.. Mr. Jones

Me and Mrs. Jones, we got a thing going on, We both know that it's wrong But it's much too strong to let it cool down now. We meet ev'ry day at the same cafe, Six-thirty I know she'll be there, Holding hands, making all kinds of plans While the jukebox plays our favorite song. Me and Mrs., Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Jones got a thing going on, Me and Mrs. Jones~Billy Paul I'm sure you meant Jim Morrison , Milo. Here's what Van Morrison's up to.

PIANO MAN
It's nine o' clock on a saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin.
He says, "Son can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes,
But it's sad and it's sweet
And I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
Sing us a song you're the piano man,
Sing us a song tonight.
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody.
And you've got us feelin' alright.

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter...

You turned me into an emotional prisoner
You hit me with words that cut to the bone
Then you kissed me and made me believe that
I needed you
And think I could never survive on my own
Never thought that I would break away
Now I see right through your power play
And I don't feel so helpless after all
Loving you was an endless fight
I was wrong and you were always right
But look what happened when I called
your bluff
When the truth comes out
you ain't so tough
You Ain't So Tough~Heart

It’s a matter of time 'til I
Fall in the middle of the town
There stands a tall brick wall
In the middle of a dream
Where time plays in between
The sound of lies rings funny
Against the truth

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town
You can't hide your lyin' eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you'd realize
There ain't no way to hide your lyin eyes

I guess it was when my old lady left me and she took off with a salesman guy
I started to see things so differently, cut your own slice out of the pie
Yeah I grew up and it came clear to me all the smart cops on the make
You get a silver badge not an old tin star when you're on the take
It's pimps and whores, punk gang wars, robberies and homicides
When you walk the beat with the creeps on the street, well there ain't no way to hide

Next time you see me, things won't be the same
Yes, next time you see me, things won't be the same
And if it hurts you my darlin', you only have yourself to blame
Like a true, true sayin', all that shines is not gold
Yes, like a true, true sayin', all that shine is not gold
And like the good book says, you've got to reap 'zactly what you sow.
Well, you lied. cheated.
Uh-oh for so long
Well, you lied, cheated.
Uh-oh for so long
You're the wrong woman, baby, another queen is on your throne.
Next Time You See Me

Nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
Got nowhere to run to, baby
Nowhere to hide
It's not love
I'm running from
It's the heartaches
That I know will come
'Cause I know
You're no good for me
But you`ve become
A part of me

Milo ~
All is well. No problem. Try this.
"And the line was drawn for another showdown
Like they'd always seen and done
And one mans night for a drunken old time
Left a scar on another one
Going out for a night on the town
Going out to the smoke and trees
Going out for a night on the town
Going out for a look and see
Said do what your daddy told you
Well I just went out and did that
Van and Willie went out one night."

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see,
that...
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
Then we'll all meet back at the local saloon
We'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
Beer For My Horses

Gunsmoke trail. Oh tell me of days gone by.
Tho' alone you still wind your way?
Are the ghostly horsemen riding,
As they speed eastern mail?
It's up to you see them through Gunsmoke trail.
The Gunsmoke has now faded from the blazing forty-fours!
The stage coach is rustin' on the hill.
The wagon wheels you used to feel, will sing their song no more!
The sound of the caravan is still! Gunsmoke trail.
No trav'ler to care where you go,
Sands of time are hidin' your way!
Bet if heaven ever let you
You could tell a rugged tale!
That's why I hate to see you fade.
Gunsmoke trail. Gunsmoke trail.
~The Theme from Gunsmoke

Shades of night are falling
As the wind be-gins to sigh
And the world's silhou-etted a-gainst the sky.
Blue Shadows on the Trail
Blue moon shinin' through the trees.
And a plain--tiff wail--- from the distance
Comes a driftin' on the evening breeze.
Move a-long, Blue Shadows, move a-long
Soon the dawn will come and you'll be on your way

The mama looked down and spit on the ground
Everytime my name gets mentioned
The papa said oy, if I get that boy
I'm gonna stick him in the house of detention
Well I'm on my way
I don't know where I'm going
I'm on my way
I'm taking my time
But I don't know where
Goodbye to Rosie the queen of Corona
See you, me and Julio
Down by the schoolyard
See you, me and Julio

Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the poorboys are playin’;
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile,
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.

Chuck wrote and recorded "What Am I Living For?" and "I Don't Want To Hang Up My Rock and Roll Shoes" in 1957 and then died before both songs rose to near the top of the charts. He also wrote this song but I can't remember all the words...yet. (spoken) You know girls, I know you get tired of that man of yours coming home in dirty clothes, and smelling like cheap stale beer, and I know that sometimes you'd like to throw him out and get somebody new, But let me tell you... (sung) If you think that nobody wants him
Just put him out in the streets and you will see
Some woman will have your man,
Before you can count, one, two, three.<<<CHUCK WILLIS>>>

You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage,
You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage,
You may be a business man or some high degree thief,
They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief
But you're gonna have to serve somebody , yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
Gotta Serve Somebody~ Bob Dylan

Well they call me the Doctor
In my neighborhood,
And the women they alls call me,
Doctor Feelgood.
Well you talk about women
I love 'em all
I love 'em big
And I love 'em tall
But if you don't weigh what I want, Baby
Don't come 'round at all.
Yeah you have to weigh
Three hundered pounds
Cause I am the Doctor
And I likes my women round
Well you talk about the women
In my neighborhood
And the women they talk about,
Doctor Feelgood
If you don't weigh what I want
Don't come 'round at all.
Dr. Feelgood

Bruder bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime,
His sister had anudder one she paid it for de lime.
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up.
She put de lime in de coconut, she drank 'em bot' up
She put de lime in de coconut, she call de doctor, woke 'im up,
Said "doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"
I said "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache,"
I said "Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take?"
I said "Doctor, to relieve this belly ache."

"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Gorney Harburg (1931)
They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?
Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?
Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!
Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Digging up the dead with a shovel and a pick
It's a job, it's a job
Bloody moon rising with a plague and a flood
Join the mob, join the mob
It's all over, it's all over
It's all over

I see a bad moon rising
I see troubles on the way
I see earthquakes and lightning
I see bad times today
Don’t go ’round tonight
Well, it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye everybody - I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, ooo - (anyway the wind blows)
I don't want to die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico...

Galileo
Galileo's head was on the block
The crime was looking up the truth
And as the bombshells of my daily fears explode
I try to trace them to my youth
And then you had to bring up reincarnation
Over a couple of beers the other night
And now I'm serving time for mistakes
Made by another in another lifetime
How long till my soul gets it right
Can any human being ever reach that kind of light
I call on the resting soul of Galileo
King of night vision
King of insight

Since the time I saw your face
I have wondered how to touch you
Bright light shining through the depths
Of my very core
And if you do decide to leave me
I will lose my even keel
But I'll still know I did feel real, felt so real, real

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the empty skies, my love,
To the dark and the empty skies.

I was blue, just as blue as I could be
Ev'ry day was a cloudy day for me
Then good luck came a-knocking at my door
Skies were gray but they're not gray anymore
Blue skies Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies Do I see
Bluebirds Singing a song
Nothing but bluebirds All day long
Never saw the sun shining so bright
Never saw things going so right
Noticing the days hurrying by
When you're in love, my how they fly
Blue days All of them gone
Nothing but blue skies From now on
I should care if the wind blows east or west
I should fret if the worst looks like the best
I should mind if they say it can't be true
I should smile, that's exactly what I do
Irving Berlin

Zip a dee doo-dah
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day.
Plenty of sunshine headed my way.
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay
Mister bluebird on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actual.
Everything is satisfactual.
Zip a dee doo-dah, zip a dee ay
Wonderful feelin'. Wonderful day.

Why this feeling
Why this glow
Why the thrill when you say, Hello
It's a strange and tender magic you do
Mister Wonderful, that's you

Strange Magic
You're sailing softly through the sun
in a broken stone age dawn.
You fly so high.
I get a strange magic,
oh, what a strange magic,
oh, it's a strange magic.
Got a strange magic,
got a strange magic.

"Come on home, girl" he said with a smile
"I cast my spell of love on you, a woman from a child!
But try to understand, try to understand, oh ... oh ...
Try try to understand
Try try try to understand
He's a magic man!" oh yeah
Oh, you've got the magic hands

They call me Mr. Pitiful Baby thats my name now They call me Mr. Pitiful Thats how I got my fame But people just don`t seem to understandHow someone can feel so blue They call me Mr pitiful cause I lost someone just like you. They call me Mr. Pitiful This everybody knows They call me Mr. Pitiful Most everyplace I go. But nobody seems to understand, How can a man sing such a sad song When he lost everything that he had. Everything that he owned. How can I explain to you? How somebody can be so blue How can I tell you about my past If all things won`t end. Mr Pitiful Thats my name now They call me Mr. Pitiful Thats how I got my fame But nobody seems to understand What makes a man feel so blue They call me Mr. Pitiful 'cause I m in love with you How can I explain to you Everything is going wrong I`ve lost everything I had I have to sing this song To get her back to me I m gonna sing this song to you And I want you And I want you And I want you Mr. Pitiful

Well I guess that, like Otis, I've lost everything I've owned (in a manner of speaking) so I guess I'll re-start this thread in a manner more esthetically pleasing to the refined sensibilities of we of this board.
No more, rap and rock and inane lyrics.
No more, earthy blues and folksy ditties,
Next trip out it will be show tunes and arias from operas.
Oh boy, white folks, this shall be fun.

Bring it Milo. I'm dusting off my scores and librettos. Oh wait....I don't have many, but it would be a challenge, none the less.
I grew up on some of that rock, blues and folk, and I've been to known like some inane lyrics, some of which come from arias and show tunes...... Shi-Poo-Pi! Shi-Poo-Pi Shi-Poo-Pi
