Harry Nilsson [보컬,피아노,오르간,프로듀서,어쿠스틱 기타,코러스]

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know

It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

Because one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever know
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

One is the loneliest number, much, much worse than two
One is the number divided by two
One
One is the loneliest number

Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true
la ti doo doo

If only I could have a puppy
I'd call myself so very lucky
just to have some company
to share a cup of tea with me

I'd take my puppy everywhere
la la la I wouldn't care
we would stay away from crowds
and signs that said 'no dogs allowed'

wee
I'd know he never bite me
no no ni no no no
wee
I'd know he never bite me
doh hoo

If only I could have a friend
he stick with me until the
and walk along beside the sea
and share a bit of moon with me
I'd take my friend most every where
la la la I wouldn't care
we would stay away from crowds
and signs that said no friends allowed

wee
we'd be so happy to be
yabba da zoo da zee
wee
we'd be so happy to be
loving together

Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true
doo ve vah voo

Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true
yes yes yes ooh

Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true
wish would come true
your wish will come true
your wish will come true

Dreams are nothing more than wishes
and a wish is just a dream you wish to come true

Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Close your eyes

Remember is a place from long ago
Remember filled with everything you know
Remember when you're sad and feelin' down
Remember turn around

Remember life is just a memory
Remember close your eyes and you can see
Remember think of all that life can be
Remember--

Dream love is only in a dream
Remember--
Remember life is never as it seems
Dream--

Dream love is only in a dream
Remember--
Remember life is never as it seems
Dream--

Long ago, far away
Life was clear
Close your eyes--

Somewhere over the rainbow
way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby.
somewhere over the rainbow
skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to
dream really do come true.


Someday I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far behind me,
where troubles melt like lemon drops,
away, above the chimney tops
that's where you'll find me.


Somewhere over the rainbow
bluebirds fly,
Birds fly over the rainbow,
why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
beyond the rainbow ,why oh
why can't I?

Pomus-Shuman

You can dance every dance with the guy
Who gave you the eye
Let him hold you tight.

You can smile every smile for the man
Who held your hand
'Neath the pale moonlight.

But don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darling, save the last dance for me.

Yes I know that the music's fine
Like sparkling wine
Go on and have your fun.

Laugh and sing, but while we're apart
Don't give your heart
To anyone.

And don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darling, save the last dance for me.

Baby don't you know I love you so ?
Can't you feel it when we touch ?
Baby don't you know I'll never let you go ?
I need you oh so much.

You can dance, go on carry on
Till the night is gone
And it's time to go.

And if he asks if you're all alone
And can he take you home
You must tell him no.

Cause don't forget who's taking you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
Oh darling, save the last dance for me
So darling, save the last dance for me.

Botkin-Nilsson

Something true to show you what I am to you
Something real to cause your heart to rush with love
And cause your mouth to rush to mine and make your eyes
Ignore what isn't real

But all my life I've failed to take advantage of my time
And time is moving faster than the eye can see
If we could only tell each other every other day
There'd never be a reason to be leaving

Chorus

Just something to hold on to when we are both afraid
Something to believe in when we think we've got it made
Some things never change, the doubt that lingers in your mind
Sometimes when you're down and out you leave the truth behind

Chorus +
Just something real to show that I still feel.

Nilsson

Night comes in and I go out to find myself a runabout but will she miss me ?
All I ever think about is all the doubt I felt each time she kissed me, oh
How can lovers hide behind the deepest part of pride is still a mystery
Closer than the deepest broken heartache, onger than the pain it takes to burn
Every time I see myself, I look and wonder if I'll ever learn, yeah, learn, yeah, learn, yeah.

Times goes by, the hours fly, the days and nights just pass me by but does she miss me ?
Damn the foolish pride I held inside which made her lie, which made her lie each time she kissed me
Somehow sadly, slowly, something slipped and slid between the truth we promised but will she miss me ?
Yeah, I know it was not the first time nor the last time, I know it's just another one of those times
But everything I say means nothing, I will be with her wherever she goes.

Night comes in and I go out to find myself a runabout but will she miss me ?
All I ever think about is all the doubt I felt each time she kissed me
How can lovers hide inside the deepest part of pride is still a mystery
Closer than the deepest broken heartache, longer than the pain it takes to burn wonder if I'll ever learn
Night and day they pass me by, I wonder why, I wonder why.

Jones-Kahn

Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don?t I try - to forget

It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "i have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn?t fall - ?til we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you

Some others I?ve seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn?t do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love
you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Rainger-Robin

Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse and nothing in my purse
And chuckles when the preacher said : ‘For better or for worse’
How lovely it was.

Thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons, ................................
How ............................................. burning toast and prunes
How lovely it was!

We said goodbye with a highball
Then I got as high as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss
Hooray for us.

So thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore, darling, how are you ?
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
.............. glad I met you, cheerio and to ............ you so much.

No I can't forget this evening, Or your face as you were leaving. But I guess that's just the way the story goes. You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows. Yes it shows No I can't forget tomorrow, When I think of all my sorrow, When I had you there but then I let you go. And now it's only fair that I should let you know What you should know I can't live if living is without you I can't live, I can't give any more Can't live if living is without you I can't give, I can't give any more No, I can't forget this evening Or your face as you were leaving But I guess that's just the way the story goes You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows Yes, it shows Can't live if living is without you I can't live, I can't give anymore I can't live if living is without you Can't live, I can't give anymore (Living is without you)

Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your windowpane
Or struggled with a bit of rain
Or danced about the weathervane
Or sat along a moving train
And wondered where the train has been

Or on a fence with bits of crap
Around its bottom
Blown there by a windbeam
Who searches for the moonbeam
Who was last seen

Looking at the tracks
Of the careless windbeam
Or moving to the clacks
Of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides
Of the weathervane
And the bits of rain
And the windowpane
And the eyes of those
Who think they saw what happened...

Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your windowpane
Or struggled with a bit of rain
Or danced about the weathervane
Or sat along a moving train
And wonder where the train has been?

Looking at the tracks
Of the careless windbeam
Or moving to the clacks
Of the tireless freight train
And lighting up the sides
Of the weathervane
And the bits of rain
And the windowpane
And the eyes of those
Who think they saw what happened...?

Lennon-McCartney

Born a poor young country boy, Mother Nature's Son
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.

Sit beside a mountain stream, see her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.

Oooo …

Find me in my field of grass, Mother Nature's Son
Swaying daisies, sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

Oooo …

Mmm …

Newman

The milk truck hauls the sun up, the paper hits the door
The subway shakes my floor and I think about you
Time to face the dawning gray of another lonely day
It's so hard living without you.

It's so hard, it's so hard
It's so hard living without you.

Everyone's got something, they're trying to get some more
They got something to get up for but I ain't about to
Nothin's gonna happen, nothin's gonna change
It's so hard living without you.

It's so hard, it's so hard
It's so hard living without you.

It's so hard, it's so hard
So hard.

Harrison

That is all I want to say
Our love could save the day
That is all I'm waiting for
To try to love you more.

And that is all I want to do
To get right next to you
That is all I'm living for
Your love and nothing more
And that is all.

Times I find it hard to say
With useless words getting in my way
Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before.

That is all I want from you
A smile when I feel blue
That is all I'm waiting for
Your love and nothing more
And that is all.

Silence often says much more
Than trying to say what's been said before.

But that is all I want to do
To give my love to you
That is all I'm living for
Please let me love you more
And that is all.

Nilsson

Lean on me, lean on me
You're the wind and I'm the sea
Oh, lean on me, lean on me
Love's the boat out on the ocean
You're the wind that fills the sail.

Oh, lean on me, trust in me
You're the wind which moves the branches
Lean on me, lean on me
You're the earth and love's the tree
Oh, lean on me.

Love's an island, love's an ocean
Lean on me
Love's an island of emotion
Lean on me.

Oh, lean on me, lean on me
I will be there when you need me
Lean on me, lean on me
Love's the boat and you're the wind that fills the sail.

Oooh ...

It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day
It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day

Ride with me, glide with me
Stay by my side with me through the night
Ride on the wings of the angels of love
Who are on our side

It's the perfect way
To end a perfect day
It's the perfect way
To say I love you

Carroll-Payne / McCoy

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the stars fall from the sky-y-y-y-y
Yours (yours) until the rivers all run dry
In other words, until I di-i-ie

Nothin' in the world can drive me away
Every day you'll hear me say

Till the rivers all run dry
Baby, I'm yours

Till the poets run out of rhyme

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes

Remember is a place from long ago
Remember filled with everything you know
Remember when you're sad and feelin' down
Remember turn around

Remember life is just a memory
Remember close your eyes and you can see
Remember think of all that life can be
Remember

Dream, love is only in a dream, remember
Remember life is never as it seems. Dream

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes

Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down

When the real thing goes wrong
And you can't get it on
And your love she has gone
And you got to carry on
And you shoot out the light
Ain't coming home for the night
You know you got to, got to, got to pay the price

Somebody please, please help me
You know I'm drowning in the sea of hatred

Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Going down on love
Going down on love
Going down, going down, going down

Something precious and rare
Disappears in thin air
And it seems so unfair
Nothing doin' nowhere
Well you burn all your boats
And you sow your wild oats
Well you know, you know, you know the price is right!

Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees
Got to get down, down on my knees

Whatever gets you through the night 'salright, 'salright
It's your money or life 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a sword to cut through flowers oh no, oh no
Whatever gets you through your life 'salright, 'salright

Don't need a watch to waste your time oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me

Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen

Whatever gets you to the light 'salright, 'salright
Out the blue or out of sight 'salright, 'salright
Don't need a gun to blow your mind oh no, oh no

Hold me darlin' come on listen to me
I won't do you no harm
Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me
Come on listen, listen

Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
It's better than a mudslide mamma when the dry spell come, yeah
Oh oh oh old dirt road

Ain't no difference on the old dirt road
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
Trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind, yeah yeah yeah

Breezing thru the deadwood on a hot summer day
I saw a human being lazybonin' out in the hay
I said uh, hey Mr. Human can ya rainmaker too?
He said I guess it's O.K. ya know the only thing we need is water
Cool, clear water, water

Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
Better than a mudslide mamma when the morning comes, yeah
Oh oh oh oh old dirt road

Keep on keeping on
Keep on keeping on
So long, so long
Bye bye

Don't wanna be a drag, everybody gotta bag
I know you know, 'bout the emperor's clothes

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

Well it's Saturday night and I just gotta rip it up
Sunday morning I just gotta give it up
Come Monday momma and I just gotta run away
You know it's such a drag to face another day

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

You know the more it change, the more it stays the same
You gotta hang on in, you gotta cut the string

You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know what you got, until you lose it
You don't know, you don't know what you got, until you lose it
Oh baby, baby, baby gimme one more chance

Bless you wherever you are
Windswept child on a shooting star
Restless Spirits depart
Still we're deep in each other's hearts

Some people say it's over
Now that we spread our wings
But we know better darling
The hollow ring is only last year's echo

Bless you whoever you are
Holding her now
Be warm and kind hearted
And remember though love is strange
Now and forever our love will remain

I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
I'm scared, so scared
I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared
As the years roll away
And the price that I paid
And the straws slips away

You don't have to suffer
It is what it is
No bell book or candle
Can get you out of this, oh no!

I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
I'm scarred, uh huh
I'm scarred, I'm scarred, I'm scarred
Every day of my life
I just manage to survive
I just wanna stay alive

You don't have to worry
In heaven or hell
Just dance to the music
You do it so well, well, well!

Hatred and jealousy, gonna be the death of me
I guess I knew it right from the start
Sing out about love and peace
Don't wanna see the red raw meat
The green eyed goddamn straight from your heart

I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired
Of being so alone
No place to call my own
Like a rollin' stone

Sweet as the smell of success
Her body's warm and wet
She gets me through this god awful lonliness
A natural high butterfly Oh I,
I need, need, need her

Just like a willow tree
A breath of spring you see
And oh boy you don't know what she do to me
She makes me sweat and forget who I am
I need, need, need, need her

Well I was wondering how long this could go on, on and on
Well I thought I could never be surprised
But could it be that I bit my own tongue
Oh yeah, it's so hard to swallow when you're wrong

A bird of paradise
The sunrise in her eyes
God only knows such a sweet surprise
I was blind she blew my mind think that I
I love, love, love, love, love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her

Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love
Sweet sweet, sweet sweet love

(This is a story about your friend and mine
Who is it, who is it, who is it?)

There you stand with your L.A. tan
And your New York walk and your New York talk
You're mother left you when you were small
But you're gonna wish you wasn't born at all

Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass

Your phone don't ring no one answers your call
How does it feel to be off the wall

Well your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads your lies
But you can't pull strings if your hands are tied
Well your teeth are clean but your mind is capped
You leave your smell like an alley cat

Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass

Beef Jerky, beef jerky, beef jerky

Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine.

Well, i've been across to the other side,
I've shown you ev'rything, i got nothing to hide.
But still you ask me, do i love you?
What it is? What it is?
All i can show you is it's all show biz,
All i can tell you is it's all show biz.

Nobody loves you when you're down and out,
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine.
Ev'rybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime,
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine.

Been across the water now so many times,
I've seen the one-eyed witchdoctor leading the blind.
But still you ask me, do i love you?
What you say? What you say?
Ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away,
Ev'ry time i put my finger on it, it slips away.
What you say? What you say? What you say?

Well, i get up in the morning
And i'm looking in the mirror to see, oo-wee!

Then i'm lying in the darkness
And i know i can't get to sleep, oo-wee!

Nobody loves you when you're old and grey,
Nobody needs you when you're upside down.
Ev'rybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday,
Ev'rybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground

Well, I'm sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huh
I'm sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huh
It may sound funny
But I don't believe she's comin', no, no

Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make worry, no
Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make worry, uh huh huh
You know that I love you
Yes, I love you, uh huh

Well, I'm sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huh
I'm sitting in the la la
Waiting for the ya ya, uh huh huh
It may sound funny
But I don't believe she's comin', no, no

Boogie down one time

Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make worry, no, no
Hey, baby, hurry
Don't make worry, no, no
You know that I love you
Always thinking of you, yeah, yeah

Hey hey hey rock

So long ago
Was it in a dream, was it just a dream?
I know, yes I know
Seemed so very real, it seemed so real to me

Took a walk down the street
Thru the heat whispered trees
I thought I could hear (hear, hear, hear)
Somebody call out my name as it started to rain

Two spirits dancing so strange

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Dream, dream away
Magic in the air, was magic in the air?
I believe, yes I believe
More I cannot say, what more can I say?

On a river of sound
Thru the mirror go round, round
I thought I could feel (feel, feel, feel)
Music touching my soul, something warm, sudden cold
The spirit dance was unfolding

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé
Ah! böwakawa poussé, poussé

It was take 54,
When she walked through the door
With the red light on it
I knew in a minute
If I wanted to get in it
Then I'd have to get on it--

I sang my balls off for you baby
I worked my fingers to the bone
I closed my eyes to get the high note
But when I woke up I was alone--
Baby, baby come back
I need you to make a good track--
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

Well I saw her today
Back in studio A
We were just gettin' started--
I sang for a minute,
She couldn't get in it,
I felt broken hearted--

I sang my balls off for you baby
I almost broke the microphone
I even sang the song that you wrote
But when I woke up I was alone--
Oh! Baby, baby, come back--
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

High note--
But when I woke up I was alone

Baby, baby come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
B-b-b-baby come back

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes

Remember is a place from long ago
Remember filled with everything you know
Remember when you're sad and feelin' down
Remember turn around

Remember life is just a memory
Remember close your eyes and you can see
Remember think of all that life can be
Remember

Dream, love is only in a dream, remember
Remember life is never as it seems. Dream

Long ago, far away
Life was clear, close your eyes

The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said come here,
I'm gonna make you my joy boy
Well, things went good and things went bad
Now everytime I think of Joy
It makes me sad
It makes me... sad
The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said Roy!
I'm gonna make you my joy boy
Well, she took me for a ride
Sort of a joy ride
Now everytime I thik of Joy
I get all weird inside
Oh, Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Now--if you haven't got an answer
Then you haven't got a question
And if you never had a question
Then you'd never have a problem
But if you never had a problem
Well, everyone would be happy
But if everyone was happy
There'd never be a love song
Joy was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said, Come here,
I wanna make you feel all clammy inside
Things went good good and things went bad
Things went good... things went bad
Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad
Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Oh, Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Joy, I know you're out there
I want you to turn on your radio and listen to my song

I don't know where I'm goin'
Now that I am gone
I hope the wind that's blowin'
Helps me carry on
Turn on your radio, baby
Listen to my song
Turn on your night light baby
Baby I'm gone
I don't know how it happened
Now that I am gone
I hope I never hear it baby
Just in case I'm wrong
Turn on your record player
Listen to my song
Turn on your night light baby
Baby I'm gone
I don't know where life's goin'
But soon it will be gone
I hope the wind that's blowin'
Helps me carry on
Turn on your radio baby
Baby, listen to my song
And turn on your night light baby
Baby I'm gone

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so fuck you

All I want to do is have a good time now I'm blue
You won't boogaloo
Run down to Tramps, have a dance or two, ooohhh
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart but fuck you

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart, boo-hoo

You stepped on my ass
You're breakin' my glasses too
You won't drive my car, might be a star
I've had enough of you
I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame so fuck you

You can't have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooohhh
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart so fuck you

You gotta have your way
There's nothing left to say
There's nothing left to do, ooooowww
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearing it apart but I love you

Bang, bang, shoot em' up, destiny
Bang, bang, shoot em' up to the moon
Bang, bang, shoot em' up one, two, three
(One, two, three, four!)

I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

Hey Mother Earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But 'round and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me

I wanted to make a good run
I wanted to go to the moon
I knew that it had to be fun
I told 'em to send me real soon
I wanted to be a spaceman
I wanted to be it so bad
But now that I am a spaceman
I'd rather be back on the pad

Hey Mother Earth
Won't 'cha bring me back down
Safely to the sea
'round and around and around and around
Is just a lot of lunacy
(Yeah!)
'round and around and around and around and around
(So bring me back down)
'round and around and around and around and around
Safe on the ground

Hey Mother Earth
Better bring me back down
Safely to the sea
But around and around and around and around
Is all she ever say to me, yeah

You know I wanted to be a spaceman
That's what I wanted to be
But now that I am a spaceman
Nobody cares about me

Say, hey, you Mother Earth
You better bring me back down
I've taken just as much as I can
But around and around and around and around
Is the problem of a spaceman

Long ago, far away--
[Burp.] Excuse me.

[Crowd noises.]

Crazy little momma come a knockin'
Come a knockin' at my front door door door
Crazy little momma come a knockin'
Come a knockin' at my front door
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before

I woke up this mornin' with a feelin' of despair
Just lookin' for my baby but she wasn't there
Heard someone knockin' and much to my surprise
There stood my baby lookin' in my eyes
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before

Yeah, if you got a little momma and wanna keep her neat
Keep your little momma off my street
Same thing will happen like it did before
She come a knock knock knockin' at my door
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before

Just like she did before
Just like she did before

(Repeat 2nd verse)

The lamp that lights the way
Is a light from yesterday.
The drum which leads the way
Is a sound from yesterday.

The road is filled with shadows
Of a million, living leaves.
Darkness all around us
And not a friend in sight.

We sang a song together
To help us through the night.
The song was sung with spirit
But soft, and like a choir.

And as the others sang along,
Our voices lifted higher.
We sang until we reached the bridge
We crossed, then saw the wire.

But by the time we stopped the song,
The enemy had opened fire.

Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more
Ain't gonna sing that song no more.
Just don't pay to sing no more
Especially when you're in a war. A war.

Now, this time through,
We want everybody to listen to the punchline
All right. All right. All right! All right!

The song was sung with spirit
But soft and like a choir.
But by the time we stopped the song,
The enemy had opened fire.

Now, we ain't gonna sing that song no more.
Ain't gonna sing that song no more.
Just don't pay to sing no more.
Especially when you're in a war.

I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I said dead than wet my bed
Oh, I'd rather be gone--Than carry on
I'd rather go away--Than feel this way
Oh, I'd rather be there--Where you haven't got a care
And you're better off dead--Though it doesn't seem fair
Oh, I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
(Laidies)
I'd rather keep my health--and dress myself
But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf
(Men)
I'll tie my tie 'till the day I die
But if I have to be fed then I'd rather be dead
And when he takes my hand on the very last day
I will understand because it's better that way
Oh! It's nice to be alive--When the dream comes true
You'll be better off dead--It could happen to you
Oh! I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead--I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
(Alright! Give yourselves a big hand!)
(Clapping.)

Hey, baby, do you come here often ?
What's your sign ?

Hey, I saw you dancing with some friends of mine
Come on, you know, they told me
If I walked up slowly and I gave you the eye
(You might like it)
(They said you never made it with a Gemini).

And you know they never lie
Because they're friends of mine
You know, you know, you know they'd rather die
And that's why.

Hey baby, do you come here often ?
Would you like a little wine ?
(Hey, baby, I'd like to talk to you about your moon sign).

Good good good golly
I got a hole in my pocket 'cause you look so fine
Hey hey hey, don't let me down in front of these friends of mine.

(Because they're standing in the door)
They're expecting me to score
You got a pair of forty-fours and what's more more more.

Baby, I love you
Run away, baby, I need you
Hey, baby, I love you
Run away, baby, I need you.

It was take 54,
When she walked through the door
With the red light on it
I knew in a minute
If I wanted to get in it
Then I'd have to get on it--

I sang my balls off for you baby
I worked my fingers to the bone
I closed my eyes to get the high note
But when I woke up I was alone--
Baby, baby come back
I need you to make a good track--
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

Well I saw her today
Back in studio A
We were just gettin' started--
I sang for a minute,
She couldn't get in it,
I felt broken hearted--

I sang my balls off for you baby
I almost broke the microphone
I even sang the song that you wrote
But when I woke up I was alone--
Oh! Baby, baby, come back--
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
Baby, baby come back

High note--
But when I woke up I was alone

Baby, baby come back
I need you to make a good track
Baby, baby come back
B-b-b-baby come back

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me
Can't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
Wah, wah, wah
I won't let you leave my love behind

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying
Only the echoes of my mind

People stopping, staring
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Wah, wah wah-wah wah
Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah
Wahhh

I'm going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Banking off of the northeast winds
Sailing on a summer breeze
And skipping over the ocean like a stone

Everybody's talking at me

Only the echoes of my mind
I won't let you leave my love behind
No, I won't let you leave
Wah, wah, wah
I won't let you leave my love behind

Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime

Lazy Moon come out soon
Make my poor heart beat warmer
Light the way bright as day
For my sweet little charmer
She’s to meet me in the lane tonight
If the sky is bright and clear
Oh moon don’t keep me waiting here tonight
Watching and awaiting
Heart a palpitatin’
Longing for my lady love so dear
Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon
Why don’t you show your face above the hill
Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon
You can make me happy if you will
When my lady sees your light a peepin’
then I know her promise she’ll be keepin’
tell me whats the matter, are you sleepin’
Lazy Moon

Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don?t I try - to forget

It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "i have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn?t fall - ?til we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you

Some others I?ve seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn?t do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love
you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Berlin

Ev'rything went wrong
And the whole day long
I'd feel so blue
For the longest while
I forgot to smile
Then I met you
Now that my blue days have passed
Now that I've found you at last

I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always

When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand
I will understand
Always, always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always

Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year
But always


[2]
Dreams will all come true
Growing old with you
And time will fly
Caring each day more
Than the day before
Till spring rolls by
Then when the springtme has gone
Then will my love linger on

McCarthy-Monaco

You made me love you
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes
Sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, dear
You made me feel so bad

You made me sigh for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do

Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

You made me sigh for
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do

Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

Fine

Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock,
to a lullaby in ragtime.
Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock,
play a lullaby in ragtime.
You can tell the sandman is on his way,
by the way,
that they play,
As still, as the trill, of a thrush, in a twilight high.

So you can hear the:-
Rhythm of the ripples on the side of the boat,

as you sail away to dreamland.
High above the moon you hear a silvery note,
as the sandman takes your hand.
So rock-a-by my baby,
don't you cry my baby,
sleepy-time is nigh.
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby,
So rock-a-by my baby,

don't you cry my baby,
sleepy-time is nigh.
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby,

Adams-Hough-Howard-Orlob

You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
And each has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune,
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Does it ever occur to you later my boy, that she's prob'ly doing the same?

If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue,
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear,
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.

I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how,
I wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now.

Jenkins

As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasure
And so I happily concede

This is all I ask
This is all I need

Beautiful girl, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunset, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Grownups seldom understand

Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true
Before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than spring

Hammerstein-Kern

We couldn't make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you ? Couldn't I ? Couldn't we ?

Make believe our lips are blended
In a fountain kiss ...............
..... make believe I love you
For to tell the true, I do.

Agar-Schwartz-Wever

Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through if only you trust in me.

Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me and I'll be strong
We can get along, as long as you trust in me.

While there's a moon on high
While there are birds to fly
While there is you and I
I can be sure I love you.

Stand beside me all the while
Face the future with a smile
Trust in me and I'll be worthy of you.

Arlen-Harburg-Rose

Say it’s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

It's a honky-tonk parade
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Rainger-Robin

Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse and nothing in my purse
And chuckles when the preacher said : ‘For better or for worse’
How lovely it was.

Thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons, ................................
How ............................................. burning toast and prunes
How lovely it was!

We said goodbye with a highball
Then I got as high as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss
Hooray for us.

So thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore, darling, how are you ?
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
.............. glad I met you, cheerio and to ............ you so much.

Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Someday I'll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the cloouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Bird fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can't I
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh why can't I?

Lazy Moon come out soon
Make my poor heart beat warmer
Light the way bright as day
For my sweet little charmer
She’s to meet me in the lane tonight
If the sky is bright and clear
Oh moon don’t keep me waiting here tonight
Watching and awaiting
Heart a palpitatin’
Longing for my lady love so dear
Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon
Why don’t you show your face above the hill
Lazy Moon, Lazy Moon
You can make me happy if you will
When my lady sees your light a peepin’
then I know her promise she’ll be keepin’
tell me whats the matter, are you sleepin’
Lazy Moon

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everybody's been knowin', to a weddin' they're goin'
An' for weeks they've been sewin' every Susie and Sal' . . .

They're congregatin' ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
For me an' my gal ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
The Parson's waitin' ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
For me and my gal ( ding, dong, ding, dong, )
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,
Or three or four, or more,
In Loveland, for me an' my gal . . .

See the relatives there, lookin' over the pair,
They can tell at a glance, it's a loving romance,
It's a wonderful sight, as the families unite,
See it makes the boy proud, as he says to the crowd . . .

The bells are ringin', for me an' my gal,
The birds are singin' for me an' my gal,
Everyone's been knowin' ( all our friends and our relations! )
To a weddin' they're goin' ( will be at the railroad station! )
An' for weeks they've been sewin' ( or, they'll send congratulations! )
Every Susie and Sal' ( . . . for me an' my gal! )

They're congregatin' for me an' my gal,
The Parson's waitin' for me and my gal,
An' someday I'm gonna build a little home for two,

In Loveland! ( Loveland! )

Why do I do, just as you say
Why must I just, give you your way
Why do I sigh, why don?t I try - to forget

It must have been, that something lovers call fate
Kept me saying: "i have to wait"
I saw them all, just couldn?t fall - ?til we met

It had to be you, it had to be you
I wandered around, and finally found - the somebody who
Could make me be true, and could make me be blue
And even be glad, just to be sad - thinking of you

Some others I?ve seen, might never be mean
Might never be cross, or try to be boss
But they wouldn?t do
For nobody else, gave me a thrill - with all your faults, I love
you still
It had to be you, wonderful you
It had to be you

Berlin

Ev'rything went wrong
And the whole day long
I'd feel so blue
For the longest while
I forgot to smile
Then I met you
Now that my blue days have passed
Now that I've found you at last

I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always

When the things you've planned
Need a helping hand
I will understand
Always, always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll be there, always

Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year
But always


[2]
Dreams will all come true
Growing old with you
And time will fly
Caring each day more
Than the day before
Till spring rolls by
Then when the springtme has gone
Then will my love linger on

McCarthy-Monaco

You made me love you
I didn't want to do it
I didn't want to do it
You made me want you
And all the time you knew it
I guess you always knew it

You made me happy sometimes
Sometimes you made me glad
But there were times, dear
You made me feel so bad

You made me sigh for
I didn't wanna tell you
I didn't want to tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do

Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

You made me sigh for
I didn't want to tell you
I didn't wanna tell you
I want some lovin', that's true
Yes I do, indeed I do, you know I do

Give me, give me, give me what I cry for
You know ya got the brand o' kisses that I'd die for
You know you made me love you

Fine

Won't you play the music so the cradle can rock,
to a lullaby in ragtime.
Sleepy hands are creeping to the end of the clock,
play a lullaby in ragtime.
You can tell the sandman is on his way,
by the way,
that they play,
As still, as the trill, of a thrush, in a twilight high.

So you can hear the:-
Rhythm of the ripples on the side of the boat,

as you sail away to dreamland.
High above the moon you hear a silvery note,
as the sandman takes your hand.
So rock-a-by my baby,
don't you cry my baby,
sleepy-time is nigh.
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby,
So rock-a-by my baby,

don't you cry my baby,
sleepy-time is nigh.
Won't you rock me to a ragtime lullaby,

Jenkins

As I approach the prime of my life
I find I have the time of my life
Learning to enjoy at my leisure
All the simple pleasure
And so I happily concede

This is all I ask
This is all I need

Beautiful girl, walk a little slower when you walk by me
Lingering sunset, stay a little longer with the lonely sea
Children everywhere, when you shoot at bad men, shoot at me
Take me to that strange enchanted land
Grownups seldom understand

Wandering rainbows, leave a bit of color for my heart to own
Stars in the sky, make my wish come true
Before the night has flown
And let the music play as long as there's a song to sing
Then I will stay younger than spring

Adams-Hough-Howard-Orlob

You have loved lots of girls in the sweet long-ago
And each has meant heaven to you
You have vowed your affection to each one in turn
And have sworn to them all you'd be true
You have kissed 'neath the moon while the world seemed in tune,
Then you've left her to hunt a new game.
Does it ever occur to you later my boy, that she's prob'ly doing the same?

If you want to feel wretched and lonely and blue,
Just imagine the girl you love best
In the arms of some fellow who's stealing a kiss
From the lips that you once fondly pressed
But the world moves apace and the loves of today
Flit away with a smile and a tear,
So you can never tell who's kissing her now
Or just whom you'll be kissing next year.

I wonder who's kissing her now, I wonder who's teaching her how,
I wonder who's looking into her eyes, breathing sighs, telling lies.
I wonder who's buying the wine for lips that I used to call mine.
I wonder if she ever tells him of me, I wonder who's kissing her now.

I'm always chasing rainbows
Watching clouds drifting by
My schemes are just like all my dreams
Ending in the sky.

Some fellas look and find the sunshine
I always look and find the rain
Some fellas make a winning sometime
I never even make a gain, believe me.

I'm always chasing rainbows
Waiting to find a little bluebird in vain.

Hammerstein-Kern

We couldn't make believe I love you
Only make believe that you love me
Others find peace of mind in pretending
Couldn't you ? Couldn't I ? Couldn't we ?

Make believe our lips are blended
In a fountain kiss ...............
..... make believe I love you
For to tell the true, I do.

Agar-Schwartz-Wever

Trust in me in all you do
Have the faith I have in you
Love will see us through if only you trust in me.

Come to me when things go wrong
Cling to me and I'll be strong
We can get along, as long as you trust in me.

While there's a moon on high
While there are birds to fly
While there is you and I
I can be sure I love you.

Stand beside me all the while
Face the future with a smile
Trust in me and I'll be worthy of you.

Arlen-Harburg-Rose

Say it’s only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

It's a honky-tonk parade
It's a melody played in a penny arcade.

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me.

Thanks for the memory
Of sentimental verse and nothing in my purse
And chuckles when the preacher said : ‘For better or for worse’
How lovely it was.

Thanks for the memory
Of rainy afternoons, ................................
How ............................................. burning toast and prunes
How lovely it was!

We said goodbye with a highball
Then I got as high as a steeple
But we were intelligent people
No tears, no fuss
Hooray for us.

So thanks for the memory
Of sunburns at the shore, darling, how are you ?
You might have been a headache but you never were a bore
.............. glad I met you, cheerio and to ............ you so much.
