When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school It's a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my Kodachrome away If you took all the girls I knew When I was single And brought them all together for one night I know they'd never match my sweet imagination Everything looks worse in black and white Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my Kodachrome away |

What can I do
What can I do Much of what you say is true I know you see through me But there's no tenderness Beneath your honesty Right and wrong Right and wrong Never helped us get along You say you care for me But there's no tenderness Beneath your honesty You and me were such good friends What's your hurry? You and me could make amends I'm not worried I'm not worried Honesty Honesty It's such a waste of energy No you don't have to lie to me Just give me some tenderness Beneath your honesty You don't have to lie to me Just give me some tenderness |

Come on take me to the mardi Gras
Where the people sing and play Where the dancing is elite And there's music in the street Both night and day Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras In the city of my dreams You can legalize your lows You can wear your summer clothes In the New Orleans And i will lay my burden down Rest my head upon that shore And when i wear that starry crown I won't be wanting and more Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras Let the music wash your soul You can mingle in the street You can jingle to the beat of jelly roll |

You've got the cool water
When the fever runs high You've got the look of love light In your eyes And I was in crazy motion 'Til you calmed me down It took a little time But you calmed me down [Chorus] When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it I'm the first to admit it But the last one to know When something goes right Well it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me It's such an unusual sight I can't get used to something so right Something so right They've got a wall in China It's a thousand miles long To keep out the foreigners They made it strong I've got a wall around me You can't even see It took a little time To get to me [Chorus] Some people never say the words I love you It's not their style To be so bold Some people never say those words I love you But like a child they're longing To be told [Chorus] |

There's been some hard feelings here
About some words that were said There's been some hard feelings here And what is more There's been a bloody purple nose And some bloody purple clothes That were messing up the lobby floor It's just apartment house rules So all you 'partment fools Remember: one man s ceiling is another man's floor Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor There's been some strange goin's on And some folks have come and gone And the elevator man don't work no more I heard a racket in the hall And I thought I heard a fall But I never opened up my door It's just apartment house sense It's like apartment rents Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor Remember: one man's ceiling is another man's floor And there's an alley in the back of my building Where some people congregate in shame I was walking with my dog And the night was black with smog When I thought I heard somebody Call my name |

AMERICAN TUNE
(words by Paul Simon music by JS Bach) Many's the time I've been mistaken, and many times confused And I've often felt forsaken, and certainly misused. But it's all right, it's all right, I'm just weary to my bones Still, you don't expect to be bright and Bon Vivant So far away from home, so far away from home. I don't know a soul who's not been battered Don't have a friend who feels at ease Don't know a dream that's not been shattered Or driven to its knees. But it's all right, all right, We've lived so well so long Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on, I wonder what went wrong, I can't help it I wonder what went wrong. And I dreamed I was flying. I dreamed my soul rose unexpectedly, and looking back down on me, smiled reassuringly, and I dreamed I was dying. And far above, my eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty, drifting away to sea And I dreamed I was flying. We come on a ship we call the Mayflower, We come on a ship that sailed the moon We come at the age's most uncertain hour And sing the American tune But it's all right, its all right You can't be forever blessed Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day And I'm trying to get some rest, That's all, I'm trying to get some rest. filename[ AMERTUNE SS ===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY=== |

Was a sunny day
Not a cloud was in the sky Not a negative word was heard >From the people passing by Was a sunny day All the birdies in the trees And the radio's singing song All the favorite melodies He was a navy man Stationed in Newport News She was a high school queen With nothing left to lose CHORUS Her name was Lorelei She was his only girl She called him speedoo But his Chistian name Was Mr. Earl CHORUS |

You got to learn how to fall
Before you learn to fly And mama, mama it ain't no lie Before you learn to fly Learn how to fall You got to drift in the breeze Before you set your sails It's an occupation where the wind prevails Before you set your sails Drift in the breeze Oh and it's the same old story Ever since the world began Everybody got the runs for glory Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan You got to learn how to fall Before you learn to fly The tank towns they tell no lie Before you learn to fly Learn how to fall |

Little sleepy boy
Do you know what time it is? Well the hour of your bedtime's Long been past And though I know you're fighting it I can tell when you rub your eyes You're fading fast Fading fast Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet Roll across the skies And leave a spray of diamonds In its wake I long to see St. Judy's Comet Sparkle in your eyes When you awake Little boy Won't you lay your body down Little boy Won't you close your weary eyes Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies Well I sang it once Then I sang it twice I'm going to sing it three times more I'm going to stay 'til your resistance Is overcome 'Cause if I can't sing my boy to sleep Well it makes your famous daddy Look so dumb Won't you run come see St. Judy's Comet Roll across the skies And leave a spray of diamonds In its wake I long to see St. Judy's Comet Sparkle in your eyes When you awake Little boy, little boy Won't you lay your body down Little boy, little boy Won't you close your weary eyes Ain't nothing flashing but the fireflies Oo little sleepy boy Do you know what time it is Well the hour of your bedtime's Long been past Though I know you're fighting it I can tell when you rub your eyes That you're fading fast |

When I was a little boy, (when I was just a boy) And the devil would call my name (when I was just a boy) I'd say "now who do, Who do you think you're fooling? " (when I was just a boy) I'm a consecrated boy (when I was just a boy) I'm a singer in a sunday choir Oh , my mama loves, she loves me She get down on her knees and hug me Like she loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And loves me She love me, love me, love me, love me When I was grown to be a man (grown to be a man) And the devil would call my name (grown to be a man) I'd say "now who do, Who do you think you're fooling? " (grown to be a man) I'm a consummated man (grown to be a man) I can snatch a little purity My mama loves me, she loves me She get down on her knees and hug me Like she loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And loves me She love me, love me, love me, love me And if I was president (was the president) The minute congress call my name (was the president) I'd say "who do, Who do you think you're fooling? (who do you think you're fooling) I've got the presidential seal (was the president) I'm up on the presidential podium My mama loves me She loves me She get down on her knees and hug me Like she loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And loves me Fade out: She love me, love me, love me, love me (loves me like a rock) |
