| REELIN’ IN THE YEARS
You’re everlasting summer and you see it fading fast So you grab a piece of something that you think is gonna last Well you wouldn’t even know a diamond if you held it in your hand The things you think are precious I can’t understand Are you reelin’ in the years Stowin’ away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine Are you reelin’ in the years Stowin’ away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine You’ve been telling me you’re a genius since you were seventeen In all the time I’ve known you I still don’t know what you mean The weekend in the college didn’t work out like you planned The things that pass for knowledge I can’t understand Are you reelin’ in the years Stowin’ away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine Are you reelin’ in the years Stowin’ away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine I’ve spent a lot of money and I’ve spent a lot of time The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind After all the things we’ve done and seen you find another man The things you think are useless I can’t understand Are you reelin’ in the years Stowin’ away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine Are you reelin’ in the years Stowin’ away the time Are you gathering up the tears Have you had enough of mine REELING AND ROCKING Some times I will then again I think I won’t Some times I will then again I think I won’t Some times I will then again I think I won’t Some times I do then again I think I don’t I looked at my watch it was a little past one That’s when we rolled up and had some fun We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was a little past two She said she don't but I know she do We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was a little past three That's when she started coming on strong with me We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was a little past four We did it in the kitchen we did it in the hall We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was a little past five Man I was feeling more dead than alive We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was a little past six Gonna keep going till I get my kicks We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was seven thirty She turned round and called me something dirty You know what you know why I'm not gonna tell you why I looked at my watch it was a little past eight That's when I got to them pearly gates oh yeah We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was a little past nine Man we were going like a steam train line We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was a little past ten She turned round and said do it again We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn I looked at my watch it was a little past eleven That’s when rolled up and took off to heaven We were rolling reeling and a rocking rolling Reeling and a rocking rolling till the break of dawn REFLECTIONS OF MY LIFE The changing of sunlight to moonlight Reflections of my life, oh how they fill my eyes The greetings of people in trouble Reflections of my life, oh how they fill my eyes All my sorrow, sad tomorrow Take me back to my own home All my crying, feel like dying, dying Take me back to my own home I’m changing, arranging, I’m changing I’m changing everything, ah everything around me The world is a mad place, a bad place, a terrible place to live Oh but I don’t want to die All my sorrow, sad tomorrow Take me back to my own home All my crying, feel like dying dying Take me back to my own home All my sorrow, sad tomorrow Take me back to my own home All my crying, feel like dying dying Take me back to my own home RIGHT DOWN THE LINE You know how much I need your love You’ve got that hold over me As long as I’ve got your love You know that I’ll never leave When I wanted you to share my life I had no doubt in my mind And it’s been you woman right down the line
Only you can see Changes that I’ve been through Have left their mark on me You’ve been as constant as the Northern star The brightest star that shines And it’s been you woman right down the line
Everything I could never say before Yeah this is my way of telling you That every day I’ll be loving you so much more ‘Cause you believed in me Through my darkest night There’s something better inside of me You’ve brought me into the light I threw away all those crazy dream I put them all behind And it’s been you woman right down the line
If I’m losing ground I won’t turn to someone else They’d only let me down When I wanted you to share my life I had no doubt in my mind And it’s been you woman right down the line
Everything I could never say before Yeah this is my way of telling you That every day I’ll be loving you so much more RIGHT SAID FRED Right said Fred both of us together One each end and steady as we go Tried to lift it couldn’t even shift it We was getting nowhere and so we ‘Ad a cup of tea and
Need more space to shift the so and so ‘Ad bad twinges takin’ off the ‘inges We was getting nowhere and so we ‘Ad a cup of tea and
To take off all the ‘andles and the things what ‘eld the candles But it did no good well I never thought it would
This ‘ere wall is gonna ‘ave to go Took the wall down even with it all down We was getting nowhere and so we ‘Ad a cup of tea and
I’ve got a sort of feeling if we removed the ceiling With a rope or two we could drop the blighter through
With ‘is crowbar gave a mighty blow Was ‘e in trouble ‘alf a ton of rubble landed on the top of ‘is dough So Charley and me ‘ad another cup of tea and then we went ‘ome You know I said to Charley, the trouble with Fred is ‘e’s too ‘asty And you never get nowhere when you’re too ‘asty ! RISING FOR THE MOON Well I’ve travelled o’er the land And ride the rolling sky For that’s the way it is, that is my fortune There are many years to please Many people’s love to try And every day’s begun rising for the moon Rising for the moon, the sun has set and it is dark But the sound of the enchanted tune is bright as any spark The chorus of the dusk regales the evening lark With the sinking of the sun rising of the moon There’s a heart in every place A tear for each farewell For that’s the way it is, that is my fortune I’ll lure you as the dust That the wayward gypsies sell And every day’s begun rising for the moon Rising for the moon, the sun has set and it is dark But the sound of the enchanted tune is bright as any spark The chorus of the dusk regales the evening lark With the sinking of the sun rising of the moon ROBERT THE GAY RABBIT Now people think it’s dandy if a rabbit’s always randy They expect him to be at it night and day He can do it on the Metro as long as he’s a hetro But things are quite different if he’s gay This happened to a rabbit whose name happened to be Robert He was born it seems on the wrong side of the tracks And relative to rabbits he had far from normal habits Instead of jeans he fancied Petes and Jacks Why can’t Robert my rabbit be gay? Why must he make love in the old fashioned way? They say that there is sexual freedom today So why can’t Robert my rabbit be gay? Now woman made him limp so he thought he’d be a pimp And that way would make his life complete But instead of being zealous he found he was rather jealous Of what the girls were getting on the beat Caught loitering with intent the judge pronounced him bent And threatened the full wrath of rabbit law But Robert’s lawyer squealed “That law has been repealed Now he’s just the same as any other whore” Now Robert was a honey when he played the Easter bunny And I don’t mean he looked just like a bag He could play that female vamp with a natural kind a camp That made him look like Rupert Bear in drag The plight of minor groups made him write to Marjorie Proops And of course she lent a sympathetic ear She said “My impression is of infantile repression” Which simple means you’re raging bloody queer The cruel called him fag when my rabbit slipped his bag But now at least he’s happy with a man For those that know of such Robert was more queen than butch Now he’s found a Flemish giant who’s a ram ROCK AND ROLL It's been a long time since I rock and roll woman It's been a long time since I did the stroll Oh let me get it back let me get it back let me get it back Baby where I come from Been a long time Been a long time Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time Yes it has Been a long time since the book of love I can't count the tears of a life with no love Carry me back carry me back carry me back Baby where I come from Been a long time Been a long time Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time Yes it has Seems so long since I walked in the moon light Making vows that just can’t work out right Cryin’ open your arms open your arms open your arms Baby let my love come running in Been a long time Been a long time Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time Yes it has Been a long time Been a long time Been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time Yes it has ROCK AND ROLL MUSIC Just let me hear some of that rock and rolling music Any old way you use it It's got a back beat you can't lose it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you gonna dance with me If you gonna dance with me
The folks dancing had a jamboree Drinking offer from a wooden cup The folks dancing got all shook up They started playing that rock and rolling music Any old way you use it It's got a back beat you can't lose it Any old way you choose it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you gonna dance with me If you gonna dance with me
To hear the tenor man play the sax I must admit they had a rocking band They were going like a hurricane They started blowing that rock and rolling music Any old way you use it It's got a back beat you can't lose it Any old way you choose it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you gonna dance with me If you gonna dance with me
Except for when they play it too darn fast And change the beauty of the melody Until it sounds just like a symphony I just go for that rock and rolling music Any old way you use it It's got a back beat you can't lose it Any old way you choose it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you gonna dance with me If you gonna dance with me
And it's too early for the conga And while they usually take the rumba Keep on rocking that piana Well let me hear some of that rock and rolling music Any old way you use it It's got a back beat you can't lose it Any old way you choose it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you gonna dance with me If you gonna dance with me

Laying everybody low with a love song that he’s made Finds a convenient street light, steps out of the shade Saying something like “You and me babe, how about it ?” Juliet says “Hey it’s Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack” He’s underneath the window, she’s singing “Hey la my boyfriend’s back Shouldn’t come round here singing up to people like that Anyway what you gonna do about it ?” Juliet, the dice was loaded from the start And I fell when you exploded in my heart And I forget, I forget the movie song When you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong, Juliet Come up on different streets, they’re both the streets of shame Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same And I dreamed your dream for you, but now your dream is real How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals When you can fall for chains of silver, you can fall for chains of gold You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin Now you say Romeo yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him Juliet, when we made love you used to cry Said I love you like the stars above, I’ll love you ‘till I die There’s a place for us, you know the movie song When’re you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong I can’t do the talk like they do on TV And I can’t the do a love song like the way it’s meant to be I can’t do everything, but I’ll do anything for you Can’t do anything except be in love with you All I do is miss you, and the way we used to be All I do is keep the beat and bad company All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme Juliet, do the stars with you any time Juliet ROSE GARDEN I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine there’s got to be a little rain sometime When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go oh oh oh oh I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could promise you things like big diamond rings But you don’t find roses growing on stalks of clover So you’d better think it over
I would give you the world on a silver platter But what would it matter
Love shouldn’t be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can
Along with the sunshine there’s got to be a little rain sometime When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go oh oh oh oh I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon But if that’s what it takes to hold you I’d just as soon let you go but there’s one thing I want you to know
And there won’t always be someone there to pull you out And you know what I’m talking about But what would it matter So smile for a while and let’s be jolly Love shouldn’t be so melancholy Come along and share the good times while we can
Along with the sunshine there’s got to be a little rain sometime When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go oh oh oh oh I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden ROSIE Rosie oh Rosie I’d like to paint your face up in the sky Sometimes when I’m busy relaxing I look up and catch your eye Your eyes when they’re widening bring thunder and lightning And sunset strokes the colour to your skin Your eyes are so blue I just think of a blue sky And bumble bees a buzzing on the wind Rosie oh Rosie it’s raining when you look the other way
Or highlight golden shadows in your hair I’d paint in your mind’s eye a very good blue sky And Summer birds swimming through the air Rosie oh Rosie I’d paint your face for all the world to see
