Once my clothes where shabby
Tailors called me cabbie So I took a vow Said this bummo bee bo borammo Now I'm smooth and snappy Now my tailor's happy I'm the cat's meow My wordrobe is a wow Paris silk, Haris tweed There's only one thing I need Got my tweed press Got my best vest All I need now is the girl Got my striped tie Got my hopes high Got the time and the place And I got rhythm Now all I need is the girl to go with 'em If she'll just appear we'll take this big town for a whirl And if she'll say My darlin' I'm yours I'll through away My stiped tie and my best dress tweed All I really need is the girl I start easy you see now I'm more debonair da'da'da'da'da da'da'da'da'da'da And now I sell it here How can she resist And if she'll say My darlin' I'm yours I'll through away My striped tie and my best dress tweed All I really need Is the girl |

Pardon me miss, but I've never done this
With a real live girl What could be harmful in holding an armful Of real live girl? Pardon me if your affectionate squeeze Fogs up my goggles and buckles my knees I'm simply drowned in the sound And the sight and the scent And the feel of a real live girl Nothing can beat getting swept off your feet By a real live girl Dreams in your bunk don't compare with a hunk Of a real live girl. Girls were too girlish was once my belief What a reversal and what a relief! I'll take the flowering hat and the towering heel And the squeal of a real live girl. I've seen photographs and facsimiles That have set my heart off in a whirl But I'd overlook everyone in the book For a real live girl Take your Venetian or Roman or Grecian Ideal live girl. Go be a holdout for Helen of Troy. I am a healthy American boy, And I'd rather gape at the dear Little shape of the stern And the keel of a real live, Full-time vocational, all-operational girl |

It seems we stood here
And talked like this before We look at each other In the same old way But I can't remember Where or when The clothes you're wearing Are the clothes you wore The smile you're smiling You where smiling then I can't remember where or when Some things that happened for the first time Seem to be happening again And so it seems that we have met before And laughed before and loved before But who knows where or when Some things that happened for the first time Seem to be happening again And so it seems that we have met before And laughed before and loved before But who knows where or when |

On the day I was born
Set me father said he I've got an elegant legacy waiting for me It's a rhyme for your lips It's a song for your heart To sing it whenever the world falls apart Look, look , look to the rainbow Follow it over the hills and stream Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow the fellow who follows our dream It was a sumptuous gift To beguile to a child Or the lore of that song kept her feet running wild For you never grow old And you never stand still With whisper will singing beyond the next hill Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow it over the hills and stream Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow the fellow who follows a dream Strike one me heart and I roam the world free To the east with a lark To the west with the sea And I searched all the Earth And I scanned all the sky But I found it at last In my own true love's eyes Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow it over the hills and stream Look, look, look to the rainbow Follow the fellow who follows the dream Follow the fellow Follow the fellow Follow the fellow Who follows the dream |

Dancing in the dark
Till the tune ends We're dancing in the dark And it soon ends We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here Time hurries by - we're here and gone Looking for the light Of a new love to brighten up the night I have you, love And we can face the music together Dancing in the dark What though, love is old What though, song is old Through them we can be young Hear this heart of mine Make yours part of mine Dear one, tell me that we're one We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here Time hurries by - we're here and gone We're looking for the light Of a new love to brighten up the night I have you, love And we can face the music together Dancing in the dark Dancing in the dark Dancing in the dark |

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places That this heart of mine embraces All day through In that small cafe The park across the way The children's carousel The chestnut tree The wishing well And I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon, oh but I'll be seeing you In every lovely summer's day In everything that's light and gay I'll always think of you that way I'll find you in the morning sun And when the night is new I'll be looking at the moon But I'll be seeing you |

There's a kid inside
And I have him with me always There's a kid inside Walking down old high school hallways Where's a kid inside At a desk, at a dance, in the halls, in the showers There's a kid inside to this very day And he makes a try for that high pop fly That I fumbled one September And he makes a fuss over some A+ That I shouldn't still remember And he goes along Getting hurt, getting mad, fighting fights that are over And unless I'm strong All my senses are carried away I can feel my hand, my trembling hand On Michelle's angora sweater I can hear my band, that awful band Only now it sounds much better I can see the kid, the kid I used to be On the stage, on the field, on the lunch-line I can feel him tugging at me Every time I think I don't care, I blink And he's there, he's there again Fighting ancient wrongs Humming old hit songs in my head Singing come along, come along Come along for the ride To a time and place I could not forget if I tried And I never know, when the breeze'll blow With a rush of old sensation Why the kid should wake And my heart should ache Everytime I smell carnations Something rings the bell Anything at all All it takes is a slam of a locker Or the switch from summer or fall A change of season seems barely reason But there he goes, he's there again Fighting ancient wrongs Humming old hit songs in my head Singing come along, come along Come along for the ride To a time and place I could not forget if I tried There he goes again Hummin' his songs He's there again There's a kid inside Hummin' his songs He's there again There's a kid inside |

Never met a man I didn't like
High fallutin' chap or bowery bum Yes, I've come a long way Down the pike Never met a man I didn't like Never shook a hand I didn't like Royal Prince of Wales or working Joe Though I know life's one long rocky hike Never met a man I didn't like In all of my wonderin' I've bumped into all kinds of people Fancy cinema stars, false evangelist Politicians, morgutitions And I have reached the conclusion While hiking the pike Though I try and I try Never once met a guy that I didn't like I said I roam along a Napa Valley Shubert Alley, Ru de la Paix Oklahoma, Kalamazoo, oh oh oh And I have reached the conclusion While hiking the pike Yes I'll say when I'm done No I never met one that I didn't like Met the worst and met the best Somebody put me into the test Almost made me change my mind Yet somehow I always find If you don't expect too much There's a certain human touch Homosapiens have got other animals have not Try the shoes on that are his Feel what makes him what he is What's it like inside his skin Living in the skin he's in Just like me a lump of sod There what for the grace of God That is a philosphy of this part-time Cherokee Present into king or Pat and Mike Folks can last but I can give up hope Spun my rope along way down the pike Never met a man I didn't like High tone gent, bowery bum Prince of Wales, working Joe Pat and Mike Cherokee, philosphy I never met a man I didn't like |

God on high
Here my prayer In my need You have always been there He is young He's afraid Let him rest Heaven blessed Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home He's like the son I might have known If God had granted me a son The summers die one by one How soon they fly on and on Before I'm old before I'm gone Bring him peace Bring him joy He is young He is only a boy You can take you can give Let him be let him live If I die, let me die Let him live Bring him home Bring him home Bring him home |

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn And the days of our years Will rise on that morn' If we only have love To embrace without fears We will kiss with our eyes We will sleep without tears If we only have love With our arms open wide Then the young and the old Will stand at our side If we only have love Love that's falling like rain Then the parched desert Earth Will grow green again If we only have love For the hymn that we shout For the song that we sing Then we'll have a way out If we only have love We can reach those in pain We can heal all our wounds We can use our own names If we only have love We can melt all the guns And then give the new world To our daughters and sons If we only have love Then Jersusalem stands And then death has no shadow There are no foreign lands If we only have love We will never bow down We'll be tall as the pines Neither heroes nor clowns If we only have love Then we'll only be men And we'll drink from the grail To be born once again Then with nothing at all But the middle we are We'll have conquered all time All space, the sun and the stars |
