From the original thread: The song lyrics thread has made me think that you guys might enjoy a game I've been playing on another board. Link the Lyrics is played with a series of excerpts from song lyric(s); the object is to post lyrics which duplicate a word or phrase included in the immediately preceding post.
So - if I posted the lyrics from You're Having My Baby [bushasuru emoticon], someone could follow with the lyrics from Baby, Baby, Don't Get Hooked on Me [bushasuru-again e]. In posting lyrics, please ~
~ confine the lyrics to four lines or less, unless the song is out of copyright ~ boldface the linking word or phrase ~ identify the title of the song, and ~ identify the composer or first performer of the song
OK. Here we go. *********************************
Last post on thread 5:
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
"Who Do You Love?" ~~The Backstreet Boys

I walked 47 miles on barbed-wire, Got a cobra-snake for a necktie. I built a house by the roadside, Made of rattlesnake hide. Got a brand new chimney up on top, Made out of human skulls. Come on baby take a walk with me, And tell me who do you love?
Variations by Bo Diddley, Fabulous Thuderbirds, and the Doors... as well as others...

Chain of Fools Performed by Aretha Franklin--did she write it?

CHAIN GANG
(Hooh! aah! hooh!) I hear somethin' sayin'
(hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Well, don't you know) That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin' (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!) (hooh! aah!)
(Well, don't you know) That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they work so hard Till the sun is goin' down Working on the highways and byways And wearing, wearing a frown You hear them moanin' their lives away Then you hear somebody sa-ay
That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
Can't ya hear them singin' Mm, I'm goin' home one of these days I'm goin' home see my woman Whom I love so dear But meanwhile I got to work right he-ere
(Well, don't you know) That's the sound of the men working on the chain ga-a-ang That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang
All day long they're singin', mm My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my work is so hard Give me water, I'm thirsty
FADE My work is so hard

Burns: Some men hunt for sport, Others hunt for food, The only thing I'm hunting for, Is an outfit that looks good...
See my vest, see my vest, Made from real gorilla chest, Feel this sweater, there's no better, Than authentic Irish setter.
See this hat, 'twas my cat, My evening wear - vampire bat, These white slippers are albino African endangered rhino.
Grizzly bear underwear, Turtles' necks, I've got my share, Beret of poodle, on my noodle It shall rest,
Try my red robin suit, It comes one breast or two, See my vest, see my vest, See my vest.
Like my loafers? Former gophers - It was that or skin my chauffeurs, But a greyhound fur tuxedo Would be best,
So let's prepare these dogs, Kill two for matching clogs, See my vest, see my vest, Oh please, won't you see my vest.

I found a picture of you. Oh, what hijacked my world at night. To a place in the past, We've been cast out of. Oh, now we're back in the fight. We're back on the train yeah, Oh, back on the chain gang.
Circumstance beyond our control, Oh, the phone, the TV and the News of the World. Got in my house like a pigeon from hell. Oh, threw sand in our eyes descending like flies. Oh, put as back on the train yeah, Oh, Back on the chain gang...

[Well, this is really a cheat...]
Unchained Melody
Oh, my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time . . . Time goes by so slowly and time can do so much. Are you still mine? I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me. Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea To the open arms of the sea Lonely rivers sigh, "Wait for me, wait for me" "I'll be comin' home, wait for me!" Oh, my love, my darling, I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time . . . Time goes by so slowly an' time can do so much. Are you still mine? I need your love, I need your love, God speed your love to me Words and Music by Alex North and Hy Zaret

I was walking down the High Street When I heard footsteps behind me And there was a little old man (Hello) In scarlet and grey, shuffling away (laughter) Well he trotted back to my house And he sat beside the telly (Oaah..) With his tiny hands on his tummy Chuckling away, laughing all day (laughter)
Oh, I ought to report you to the Gnome office (Gnome Office) Yes (Hahahahaha)
CHORUS Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me" Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me" Said the laughing Gnome
Well I gave him roasted toadstools and a glass of dandelion wine (Burp, pardon) Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne Carried his bag and gave him a fag (Haven't you got a light boy?) "Here, where do you come from?" (Gnome-man's land, hahihihi) "Oh, really?"
In the morning when I woke up He was sitting on the edge of my bed With his brother whose name was Fred He'd bought him along to sing me a song
Right, let's hear it Here, what's that clicking noise? (That's Fred, he's a "metrognome", haha)
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me" Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
(Own up, I'm a gnome, ain't I right, haha) "Haven't you got an 'ome to go to?" (No, we're gnomads) "Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school? you look like a rolling gnome." (No, not at the London School of Ecognomics)
Now they're staying up the chimney And we're living on caviar and honey (hooray!) Cause they're earning me lots of money Writing comedy prose for radio shows It's the-er (what?) It's the Gnome service of course
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me" Ha ha ha, oh, dear me
(Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me" Ha ha ha, hee hee hee "I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me")
David Bowie

I'll see your Poison and raise you a Hanson...
You have so many relationships in this life Only one or two will last You're going through all this pain and strife Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast And they're gone so fast So hold on the ones who really care In the end they'll be the only ones there When you get old and start losing your hair Can you tell me who will still care Can you tell me who will still care
Mmm bop, ba duba dop Ba du bop, ba duba dop Ba du bop, ba duba dop Ba du
Mmm bop, ba duba dop Ba du bop, Ba du dop Ba du bop, Ba du dop Ba du
In an mmm bop, they're gone Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose You can plant any one of those Keep planting to find out which one grows It's a secret no one knows It's a secret no one knows
Repeat chorus until nauseated.
Mmm-Bop, by Hanson

There are locks on the doors And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside There's a gate and a fence And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside Who stole your heart left you with a space That no one and nothing can fill Who stole your heart who took it away Knowing that without it you can't live Who took away the part so essential to the whole Left you a hollow body Skin and bone What robber what thief who stole your heart and the key
Who stole your heart The smile from your face The innocence the light from your eyes Who stole your heart or did you give it away And if so then when and why Who took away the part so essential to the whole Left you a hollow body Skin and bone What robber what thief Who stole your heart and the key
Now all sentiment is gone Now you have no trust in no one
Who stole your heart Did you know but forget the method and moment in time Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand A strong elixir or a potion that you drank Who hurt your heart Bruised it in a place That no one and nothing can heal
You've gone to wizards, princes and magic men You've gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent But still all sentiment is gone But still you have no trust in no one
If you can tear down the walls Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay And don't forget that you defend an empty space And remember the tinman Found he had what he thought he lacked Remember the tinman Go find your hear and take it back
Who stole your heart Maybe no one can say One day you will find it I pray
Remember The Tinman - Tracy Chapman

Unchain my heart, Baby set me free Unchain my heart, cause you don't care about me Why must I live in misery When it's plain to see that you don't care about me So unchain my heart Baby, set me free.
I'm under your spell, like a man in a trance And you know darn well, that I don't have a chance So unchain my heart, Baby set me free.

The Witch-Queen of New Orleans
by Redbone
The Witch-Queen of New Orleans Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans
I'm gonna tell you a story strange as it now seems Of zombie voodoo gris gris and the witch-queen of New Orleans She lived in a world of magic possessed by the devil's queue From a shack near the swamp lands made of mud by brick Marie stirred her witches brew
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans
Dime or a nickel, anyone could buy voodoo of any kind She had potions and lotions, herbs and tanna leaves Guaranteed to blow your mind Early one mornin' into mucky swamp dew Vanished Marie with hate in her eyes Tho' she'll never return all the Cajuns knew A witch-queen never dies
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau - she'll put a spell on you Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau She's the witch-queen, ah, of New Orleans, of New Orleans
Marie, Marie La 'Voodoo' Veau ....

She walks everyday through the streets of New Orleans She's innocent and young from a family of means I have stood many times outside her window at night To struggle with my instinct in the pale moon light How could I be this way when I pray to God above I must love what I destroy and destroy the thing I love Oh you'll never see my shade or hear the sound of my feet While there's a moon over Bourbon Street

Re: Hanson -> heh heh heh! I went looking for a song from Barney that might have included "Bop", but I had to settle for the boys. Would you have rather I continued my search for the big purple dinosaur? Maybe this will restore me to your graces: Ah, you know that nothing lasts forever And it's all been done before Ah, but you ain't got the time to go to Cold Spring Harbor No more Everybody Loves You Now, Billy Joel

I will always love you (Whitney Houston)
If I should stay I would only be in your way So I'll go, but I know I'll think of you every step of the way And I will always love you I will always love you... Bitter sweet memories That is all I'm taking with me So goodbye, please don't cry We both know I'm not what you need And I will always love you I will always love you I hope life treats you kind And I hope you have all you dreamed of And I wish you joy and happiness But above all this I wish you love
And I will always love you I will always love you

Imagination
Imagination is funny It makes a cloudy day sunny It makes a bee think of honey Just like I think of you Imagination is crazy Your whole perspective gets hazy It starts you asking a daisy what to do What to do Have you ever felt a gentle touch And then a kiss, then and then You find it's only your imagination again Oh well Imagination is silly You go around willy-nilly For example I go around wanting you Yet I can't imagine that you want me too

There's all kinds of music Everywhere you go Some folks like it fast Some folks like it slow Some folks like it hot Some folks like it blue Some folks like it old Some folks like it new
Now I'm not knocking country And I'm not rappin' rap Big Band swing just ain't my thing Alternative ain't my snap
The only thing that turns me on Is when I hear a soulful song
Soul with a capitol "S" Soul with a capitol "S" Sweet soul music that's the best Soul with a capitol "S"
Music makes you happy Or it can make you sad It can turn the worst day To the best you've ever had For entertainment value If I had to choose You and me might disagree 'Cause I like Rhythm and Blues
Now I'm not dissin' disco Not sayin' punk is bunk I can't settle for heavy metal 'Cause I've gotta have that funk
Soul with a capitol "S" Soul with a capitol "S" Sweet soul music that's the best Soul with a capitol "S"
Soul With a Capitol "S" - Tower of Power This is the greatest song to shovel snow by!

There are places I'll remember, all my life though some have changed. Some forever not for better, some have gone and some remain. All these places have their moments, with lovers and friends I still can recall. Some are dead and some are living, in my life I've loved them all.
But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one compares with you, and these memories lose their meaning, when I think of love as something new. Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them, in my life I love you more.
Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them, in my life I love you more.
In my life I love you more.

“Speak to me gently before we begin,” she pleads, but they laugh and pull her down; And after they’ve used her, briefly and roughly, they leave her to face the dawn alone. When they have gone she moves on her side, thinks of the men that with her have laid – And none of them gave her a kind word of loving, and after they’d done, not one of them stayed.
Once she was wary, chose but a few to roll in her arms at the end of the day, But the flowers of love begins now to wither, and many may pluck at the petals so gay Alone in the night she muses awhile, and thinks of the days and how they will pass ~ She cries for the lonely years that are waiting, ‘til death takes her hand and waits her reply.
Down in the barroom she moves among men who watch her and touch her whenever they can; And she notices hands, and mouths as they drink, and over their tankards the eyes of each man…
Speak to me gently before we begin
She Moves Among Men (The Barmaid’s Song) (Caddick) sung by June Tabor

Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one
John Lennon
I feel that I should say "Mornington Crescent" now (British radio joke) - I can't believe that we have gone all this time without Imagine! If we haven't then let me know and I'll have to find something else.

ONE
Singular sensation Ev'ry little step she takes. One thrilling combination Ev'ry move that she makes. One smile and suddenly nobody else will do. You know you'll never be lonely with you know who.
One moment in her presence And you can forget the rest. For the girl is second best to none, son. Ooh! Sigh! Give her your attention. Do I Really have to mention She's the one?
A Chorus Line Kirkwood, Bennett, Dante, Hamlish & Kleban

Heart Of My Heart", I love that melody "Heart Of My Heart" brings back a memory
When we were kids on the corner of the street We were rough 'n ready guys But oh, how we could harmonize
"Heart Of My Heart" meant friends were dearer then Too bad we had to part I know a tear would glisten If once more I could listen To that gang that sang "Heart Of My Heart"
C'mon now, all you Awaders and every other kind of waders out there, everybody sing! a-one a-two a-three...
"Heart Of My Heart", I love that melody...
I can't hear you: "HEART OF MY HEART BRING BACK A MEMORY...
Now that's much, much, better: WHEN WE WERE KIDS...

My theme song : A PIRATE LOOKS AT FORTY by Jimmy Buffet Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call I've wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall You've seen it all, you've seen it all Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen Most of 'em dreams, most of 'em dreams Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late If the cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder I'm an over-forty victim of fate Arriving too late, arriving too late I've done a bit of smugglin', I've run my share of grass You see, I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast Never meant to last, never meant to last Oh I have been drunk now for over two weeks I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks But I got to stop wishin', got to go fishin' Down to rock bottom again Just a few friends, just a few friends (instrumental) I go for younger women, lived with several awhile Though I ran 'em away, they'd come back one day Still could manage to smile Just takes a while, just takes a while Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around Feels like I've drowned, but I won't wear a frown Coda: Feels like I've drowned, gonna head uptown © 1972 by Jimmy Buffet

here's another pirate song:
At age 19 I was kidnapped by Turkish pirates - Mediterranean thugs After some torture they considered me their mascot - a Cypriotic good luck I had the taste of death and many other things I had to pay the piper with my wedding ring I would never see my family again.
By 25 I was respected as an equal - my art was a knife On countless raids I was the first one up the lanyard Yeah, I was seeking a fight There is no time to pray, there's no time to beg And then it's off with an arm or it's off with a leg And if I spare your life, it's because the tide is leavin'.
By 31 I was the captain of a galleon - I was Poseidon's new son The coast of ??? was my favourite target - Ah, it was ever such fun We had no wooden legs or steel hooks We had no black eyepatches or a starving cook We were just killers with the cold eyes of a sailor.
"The Hook", by Stephen Malkmus note potential cross-thread to Aging Songs (19, 25, 31)

Performed by: Pinocchio (Dickie Jones) Music: Leigh Harline Lyrics: Ned Washington
[Pinocchio:] I've got no strings To hold me down To make me fret, or make me frown I had strings But now I'm free There are no strings on me
Hi-ho the me-ri-o That's the only way to go I want the world to know Nothing ever worries me
* One sheet music version prints the bridge as this stanza:*
Hi-ho the me-ri-o I'm as happy as can be I want the world to know Nothing ever worries me
I've got no strings So I have fun I'm not tied up to anyone They've got strings But you can see There are no strings on me
[Dutch puppet:] You have no strings Your arms is free To love me by the Zuider Zee Ya, ya, ya If you would woo I'd bust my strings for you
[French puppet:] You've got no strings Comme ci comme ca Your savoire-faire is ooh la la! I've got strings But entre nous I'd cut my strings for you!
[Russian puppet:]
Down where the Volga flows There's a Russian rendezvous Where me and Ivan go But I'd rather go with you, hey!

A small Jean Genie snuck off to the city Strung out on lasers and slash back blazers Ate all your razors while pulling the waiters Talking bout Monroe and walking on Snow White New York's a go-go and everything tastes right Poor little Greenie
CHORUS The Jean Genie lives on his back The Jean Genie loves chimney stacks He's outrageous, he screams and he bawls Jean Genie let yourself go!

Wake up you sleepy head Put on some clothes, shake up your bed Put another log on the fire for me I've made some breakfast and coffee Look out my window and what do I see A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me All the nightmares came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
What are we coming to No room for me, no fun for you I think about a world to come Where the books were found by the Golden ones Written in pain, written in awe By a puzzled man who questioned What we were here for All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh You Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Oh You Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior
Look at your children See their faces in golden rays Don't kid yourself they belong to you They're the start of a coming race The earth is a bitch We've finished our news Homo Sapiens have outgrown their use All the strangers came today And it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh You Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Oh You Pretty Things Don't you know you're driving your Mamas and Papas insane Let me make it plain You gotta make way for the Homo Superior

Wake up , Little Suzie, wake up; wake up, little Suzie, wake up; We've both been sound asleep - Wake up little Suzie and weep - the movie's over, it's four o'clock, and we're in trouble deep -- Wake up Little Suzie; We gotta go home.

SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES The Drifters (writers Mann, Weil; 1964)
Well Saturday night at 8 o'clock I know where I'm gonna go I'm gonna pick my baby up And take her to the picture show
Everybody in the neighbourhood Is dressing up to be there too And we're gonna have a ball Just like we always do
Chorus: Saturday night at the movies Who cares what picture you see When you're hugging with your baby in last row in the balcony
Well there's technicolor and cinemascope A cast out of Hollywood And the popcorn from the candy stand Makes it all seem twice as good
There's always lots of pretty girls With figures they don't try to hide But they never can compare To the girl sittin' by my side

Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of the Week)
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week 'Cause that's the night that my sweetie and I Used to dance cheek to cheek I don't mind Sunday night at all 'Cause that's the night friends come to call And Monday to Friday go fast And another week is past
But Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek Until I hear you at the door Until you're in my arms once more Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
mmmm... Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week I sing the song that I sang for the memories I usually seek Until I hear you at the door Until you're in my arms once more Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
Until I hear you at the door Until you're in my arms once more Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week

Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)
Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin Available on the album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
It's getting late have you seen my mates Ma tell me when the boys get here It's seven o'clock and I want to rock Want to get a belly full of beer
My old man's drunker than a barrel full of monkeys And my old lady she don't care My sister looks cute in her braces and boots A handful of grease in her hair
Don't give us none of your aggravation We had it with your discipline Saturday night's alright for fighting Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train Gonna set this dance alight `Cause Saturday night's the night I like Saturday night's alright alright alright
Well they're packed pretty tight in here tonight I'm looking for a dolly who'll see me right I may use a little muscle to get what I need I may sink a little drink and shout out "She's with me!"
A couple of the sound that I really like Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike I'm a juvenile product of the working class Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass

It's Saturday night, all the kids are going down Put on your bright suit, Billy, head for the right side of town It's only eight o'clock but you're already bored You don't know what it is, but there's gotta be more You better find a way out Hey! kick down the door It's a rat-trap, and you've been caught!

There are three new movies op'ning tonight, A baseball game, a championship fight, A big band concert under the stars, And a rodeo, Midget racing cars, For some gals and gents the above events hold their own vicarious charms, But I'd rather go to a place I know, Where I can hold you in my arms!
Chorus:
Hey there cutes, put on your dancin' boots and come dance with me, Come dance with me, what an evening for some terpsichore. Pretty face, I know a swingin' place, so come dance with me, Romance with me on a crowded floor.
And while the rhythm swings, what lovely things I'll be sayin', For what is dancing but making love set to music, playin'.
When the band begin to leave the stand and folks start to roam, As we wing home, cheek to cheek we'll be, Come on, come on, come on, come on and dance with me
[Repeat, but instead substitute the following words line 1: dancin/Basie, line 5: lovely/cuckoo, line 8: wing/waltz and the first 3 "come on"'s in the last line are repeated.]
Sinatra: Come Dance with Me

Shall We Dance? Lyrics: Ira Gershwin Music: George Gershwin
Drop that long face Come on have your fling Why keep nursing the blues? If you want this old world on a string Put on your dancing shoes Stop wasting time Put on your dancing shoes Watch your spirits climb
Shall we dance Or keep on mopin'? Shall we dance And walk on air? Shall we give in to despair? Or shall we dance with never a care? Life is short We're growing older Don't you be an also-ran You'd better dance, little lady Dance, little man Dance whenever you can.

This is nice, isn't it? I mean - the music. This is nice, isn't it? I mean - the band. Don't you think we make natural partners? I mean, like food and drink, or supply and demand.
We're so right, aren't we? I mean - for dancing. Hold me tight, cling to me! I mean - my hand. I feel fine, I'm aglow with the Sunday shine Could I be falling in - I mean to say, well anyway... Isn't it grand?
Isn't It? - Stephen Sondheim

Drink to me only with thine eyes And I will pledge with mine. Or leave a kiss within the cup And I'll not ask for wine. The thirst that from the soul doth rise Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove's nectar sip, I would not change for thine.
I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much hon'ring thee As giving it a hope that there It could not withered be; But thou thereon did'st only breathe, And sent'st it back to me, Since when it grows and smells, I swear Not of itself, but thee.
Ben Johnson's poem "To Cecilia" set to music by ? disputed, interesting provenance.

well, if it old songs..
Believe me if all those Endearing young charms Which I gaze on so fondly today Were to change by tomorrow And fleet in my arms, Like fairy gifts fading away Though would'st still be adored As this moment thou art Let thy loveliness fade as it will And around the dear ruin Each wish of my heart Would entwine itself Verdantly still.
It is not while beauty And youth are thine own And thy cheeks Unprofaned by a tear That the ferver and faith Of a soul can be known To which time will but Make thee more dear No the heart that has truly loved Never forgets But as truly loves On to the close As the sunflower turns On her god when he sets The same look which She'd turned when he rose.

Never knew I could feel like this Like I've never seen the sky before I want to vanish inside your kiss Every day I love more and more Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing Telling me to give you everything Seasons may change, winter to spring But I love you until the end of time
Come what may Come what may I will love you Until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste It all revolves around you And there's no mountain too high No river too wide Sing out this song I'll be there by your side Storm clouds may gather And stars may collide But I love you until the end of time
Oh, come what may, come what may I will love you, I will love you Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Don't interrupt the sorrow Darn right He says "We walked on the moon You be polite." Don't let up the sorrow Death and birth and death and birth He says "Bring that bottle kindly And I'll pad your purse- I've got a head full of quandary And a mighty, mighty, thirst."
Don't Interrupt the Sorrow - Joni Mitchell

GIVE ME THAT WINE by Jon Hendricks
Well my wife got tired of me running around So she tried to keep me at home You know she bust my nose and hid my clothes But I continued to roam Until she finally hit my weakspot, threatened to throw my bottle out From the basement to the rooftop everybody could hear me shout
Gimme that wine Gimme that wine Gimme that wine You know I can't cut lose without my juice
Well one day when I was walking home to bed A bandit jumped from the shadows, put a blackjack aside my head That cat took my watch, my ring, my money and I did'nt make a sound But when he reached in for my bottle Jim you could hear for blocks around
Gimme that wine Gimme that wine Gimme that wine Beat my head out of shape but leave my grape
Well one day when I was laying down awful napping When I woke up everything was burning With a snap, and a crackle and a pop You know the fireman chopped up my TV set and tore my apartment apart But when he raised his axe on my bottle Jim I screamed with all my heart
Gimme that wine Gimme that wine Gimme that wine Let me take one toast before I roast
Well one day when I was crossing the avenue A big car knocked me down When I was laying out down in the traffic The crowd came from blocks around You know the policeman were searchin' my pockets Before they took me to the funeral parlour When he reached in for my bottle Jim I jumped straight up and commenced to holler
Gimme that wine Gimme that wine Gimme that wine You know I can't get well without Muscatell
You know you can take all them Hollywood glamour girls Rita Haywood, Bridgette Bardot, Lana Turner Put them on a wall, put a gigantic book beside them And tell me to take my choice Well there be no doubt about the one I chose the minute I raise my voice
Gimme that wine Gimme that wine Gimme that wine Well them chicks look fine but I love my wine
Now some folks like money, some like to dance and dine But I be happy if you give me that wine Can I have that bottle baby Muscatell or half and half

We're a couple of swells We stop at the best hotels But we prefer the country far away from the city smells
We're a couple of sports The pride of the tennis courts In June, July and August we look cute when we're dressed in shorts
The Vanderbilts have asked us up for tea We don't know how to get there, no sirree No sirree... We would ride up the avenue but we haven't got the price We would skate up the avenue but there isn't any ice We would ride on a bicycle but we haven't got a bike So we'll walk up the avenue Yes we'll walk up the avenue and to walk up the avenue's what we like
Wall Street bankers are we With plenty of currency We'd open up the safe but we forgot where we put the key
We're the favourite lads Of girls in the picture ads We'd like to tell who we kissed last night but we can't be cads
The Vanderbilts are waiting at the club But how are we to get there, that's the rub That's the rub... We would sail up the avenue but we haven't got a yacht We would ride up the avenue but the horse we had was shot We would go on a trolleycar but we haven't got the fare So we'll walk up the avenue Yes we'll walk up the avenue And we'll walk up the avenue till we're there
[bridge]
We would swim up the avenue but we haven't any lake So we'll walk up the avenue Yes we'll walk up the avenue Yes a walk up the avenue's what we'll take!

I met a pretty girl she was standing by a tub Man she pulled me down in it and she begin to rub It's mighty crazy, you know it's crazy Just to keep on rubbing at that same ole thing.
I met a pretty girl all sharped out in blue She saw me rubbin' so she started rubbin' too It's mighty crazy, It's mighty crazy Just to keep on rubbin' at that same ole thing.
Mama got the rub board, sister got the tub They're going round doing the rub-de-rub It's mighty crazy, it's Mighty crazy Just to keep on rubbin' at that same ole thing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two old maids, they was layin' in a bed One turned over and this is what she said Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' that thing
Yeah mama killed a chicken, thought it was a duck Put him on the table with his feet turned up Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' that thing
There was two old maids, layin' in the sand Each one wonderin' if the other was a man Ain't it crazy, ain't it crazy Ain't it crazy one day, to keep on rubbin' at that thing

Crazy ... I'm crazy for feelin' so lonely I'm crazy ... crazy for feelin' so blue I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted, And then someday, you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry ... why do I let myself worry? Wonderin' ... what in the world did I do? Oh, crazy ... for thinkin' that my love could hold you I'm crazy for tryin', and crazy for cryin' And I'm crazy for lovin' you
Crazy ... for thinkin' that my love could hold you I'm crazy for tryin', and crazy for cryin' And I'm crazy for lovin' you

The one time I saw my daddy dance Watched him moving like a man in a trance He brought it back from the war in France Down on Copperline

In this world, if you read the papers, Lord, You know everybody’s fighting on with each other. You got no one you can count on, baby, Not even your own brother. So if someone comes along, He’s gonna give you some love and affection I’d say get it while you can, yeah! Honey, get it while you can, Hey, hey, get it while you can, Don’t you turn your back on love, no, no!
Don’t you know when you’re loving anybody, baby, You’re taking a gamble on a little sorrow, But then who cares, baby, ‘Cause we may not be here tomorrow, no. And if anybody should come along, He gonna give you any love and affection, I’d say get it while you can, yeah! Hey, hey, get it while you can, Hey, hey, get it while you can. Don’t you turn your back on love, No no no, no no no no no.
Oh, get it while you can, Honey get it when you’re gonna wanna need it dear, yeah yeah, Hey hey, get it while you can, Don’t you turn your back on love, No no no, no no no no, get it while you can, I said hold on to somebody when you get a little lonely, dear, Hey hey, hold on to that man’s heart, Yeah, get it, want it, hold it, need it, Get it, want it, need it, hold it, Get it while you can, yeah, Honey get it while you can, baby, yeah,

I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time I'll give it right back to you one of these days I said, I didn't mean to take you up all your sweet time I'll give it right back to you one of these days And if I don't meet you no more in this world Then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one And don't be late, don't be late 'Cause I'm a voodoo child Lord knows I'm a voodoo child I'm a voodoo child

Do, do, do What you've done, done, done Before, Baby. Do, do, do What I do, do, do Adore, Baby. Let's try again, Sigh again, Fly again to heaven. Baby, see It's A B C- I love you and you love me. I know, know, know What a beau, beau, beau Should do, Baby; So, don't, don't, don't Say it won't, won't, won't Come true, Baby. My heart begins to hum- Dum de dum de dum-dum-dum, So do, do, do What you've done, done, done Before.
Do, Do, Do~~from Oh, Kay, by George and Ira Gershwin
