Nancy: I've been where the eagle flies Rode his wings 'cross autumn skies Kissed the sun, touched the moon But he left me much too soon His lady bird...he left his lady bird
Lee: Lady bird come on down I'm here waiting on the ground Lady bird I'll treat you good Ah, lady bird I wish you would You lady bird...pretty lady bird
Nancy: Lightning flashed across the sky The night he taught me how to fly The sun came up and then I found Too soon he let his lady down His lady bird...I'm his lady bird
Lee: Lady bird come on down I'm here waiting on the ground Lady bird I'll treat you good Aw, lady bird I wish you would You lady bird...pretty lady bird
Nancy: Winter lives in my heart In the times that we're apart Summer sings a song or two When he says 'I love you true' My lady bird...yeah, I'm his lady bird
Lee: Lady bird come on down I'm here waiting on the ground Lady bird I'll treat you good Aw, lady bird I wish you would You lady bird...pretty lady bird
He's never caught one spy untold He's never even caught a cold Got his degree from Disney Land But he's the last of the secret agents And he's my man
He's an underwhelming kind of sleuth He thinks James Bond is some kind of suit He's farther back than also ran But he's the last of the secret agents And he's my man
He'd come in third in a two-horse race I've never had to slap his face (What a shame) But people try to understand He's the last of the secret agents And he's my man
He's the last of the secret agents And he's my man He's the last of the secret agents And he's my man
Every night I sit here by my window (window) Staring at the lonely avenue (avenue) Watching lovers holdin' hands And laughin' (ha ha ha) Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do (Thinkin' 'bout things) Like a walk in the park (things) Like a kiss in the dark (things) Like a sailboat ride (ya ya) What about the night we cried Things like a lover's vow Things that we don't do now Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to) And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to (but you got me now) When I'm not thinkin' of just how much I love you ('bout I love you, too) I'm thinkin' the things we used to do (Used to do, thinkin' 'bout things) Like a walk in the park (things) Like a kiss in the dark (things) Like a sailboat ride (ya ya) What about the night we cried Things like a lover's vow Things that we don't do now Thinkin' about the things we used to do
I still can hear the juke box softly Playin' (playin') And the face I see each day belongs to you (Belongs to you) But there's not a single sound And there's nobody else around But that's just me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do (We used to do, thinkin' 'bout things) Like a walk in the park (things) Like a kiss in the dark (things) Like a sailboat ride (ya ya) What about the night that we cried Things like a lover's vow Things that we don't do now Thinkin' about the things we used to do And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to You got me thinkin' 'bout The things we used to do (I hope so) Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do
I know I stand in line, until you think you have the time To spend an evening with me And if we go someplace to dance, I know that there´s a chance You want be leaving with me
And afterwards we drop into a quiet little place And have a drink or two And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like: "I love you"
I can see it in your eyes, that you despise the same old lies You heard the night before And though it´s just a line to you, for me it´s true It never seemed so right before
I practice every day to find some clever lines to say To make the meaning come through But then I think I´ll wait until the evening gets late And I´m alone with you
The time is right, your perfume fills my head, the stars get red And oh the night´s so blue And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid Like:" I love you" (" I love you, I love you,....")
I know you're leavin' babe, Goodbye, so long. I hope someday somebody Listens to your song. Those bright lights never ever Spell your name it's true. Maybe a change of scene Will be the best for you.
So long babe, so long babe, So long babe, so long babe So long babe
I know you're leavin' babe, Goodbye, so long. Pick up the pieces And go back where you belong. You gave them all you had And what did they give you? Well they gave you nothin' babe So give 'em nothin' too.
So long babe, so long babe, so long babe So long babe, so long babe, so long babe, So long babe.
I know you're leavin' babe, Goodbye and so long. You never made it babe, I wonder what went wrong. They never understood your songs, Here's what you do Just walk away and leave 'em, And let 'em come to you.
So long babe, so long babe, Yeah so long babe, so long babe So long babe, so long babe, So long babe So long babe, Ah so long babe So long babe Mmm So long babe

IT AIN'T ME, BABE Go 'way from my window, Leave at your own chosen speed. I'm not the one you want, babe, I'm not the one you need. You say you're lookin' for someone Never weak but always strong, To protect you an' defend you Whether you are right or wrong, Someone to open each and every door, But it ain't me, babe, No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
Go lightly from the ledge, babe, Go lightly on the ground. I'm not the one you want, babe, I will only let you down. You say you're lookin' for someone Who will promise never to part, Someone to close his eyes for you, Someone to close his heart, Someone who will die for you an' more, But it ain't me, babe, No, no, no, it ain't me, babe, It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.
I got some troubles but they wont last I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass And pretty soon all my troubles will pass 'Cause I'm in shu shu shu, Shu shu shu, Shu shu shu shu shu shu Sugar Town.
I never had a dog that liked me some I never had a friend or wanted one So I just lay back and laugh at the sun 'Cause I'm in shu shu shu, Shu shu shu, shu shu shu shu shu shu Sugar Town.
Yesterday it rained in Tennessee I heard it also rained in Talahassee But not a drop fell on little old me 'Cause I was in shu shu shu, Shu shu shu, shu shu shu shu shu shu Sugar Town.
If I had a million dollars or ten I'd give it to your world and then You'd go away and let me spend My life in shu shu shu, Shu shu shu, shu shu shu shu shu shu Sugar Town.
