MONSTER MASH
I was working in the lab late one night

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight

For my monster from his slab began to rise

And suddenly to my surprise


He did the mash he did the monster mash he did the mash it was a graveyard smash

He did the mash it caught on in a flash he did the mash he did the monster mash


Mash good easy Igor you impetuous young boy uh uh uh uh
From my laboratory in the castle east

To the master bedroom where the vampires feast

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes

To catch a jolt from my electrodes


They did the mash they did the monster mash they did the mash it was a graveyard smash

They did the mash it caught on in a flash they did the mash they did the monster mash


The zombies were having fun

The party had just begun

The guests included Wolfman,

Dracula and his son


The scene was rocking; all were digging the sounds

Igor on chains backed by his baying hounds

The coffin-bangers were about to arrive

With their vocal group “The Crypt Kicker Five”


They did the mash they did the monster mash they did the mash it was a graveyard smash

They did the mash it caught on in a flash they did the mash they did the monster mash


Out from his coffin Drac’s voice did ring

Seems he was troubled by just one thing

He opened the lid and he shook his fist

And said “Whatever happened to my Transylvanian twist ?”


He did the mash he did the monster mash he did the mash it was a graveyard smash

He did the mash it caught on in a flash he did the mash he did the monster mash


Now everything’s cool, Drac’s a part of the band

And my monster mash is the hit of the land

For you, the living this mash is meant too

When you get to my door tell them Boris sent you


And do the mash you did the monster mash do the mash it was a graveyard smash

Do the mash it caught on in a flash do the mash you did the monster mash

MOON SHADOW
Oh, I'm being followed by a moon shadow,

Moon shadow, moon shadow.

Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow,

Moon shadow, moon shadow.


And if I ever lose my hands,

Lose my plough, lose my land,

Oh, if I ever lose my hands,

Way oh way oh oh oh oh

I won't have to work no more.
And if I ever lose my eyes,

If my colours all run dry,

Yes, if I ever lose my eyes,

Way oh way oh oh oh oh

I won't have to cry no more.
Oh, I'm being followed by a moon shadow,

Moon shadow, moon shadow.

Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow,

Moon shadow, moon shadow.


And if I ever lose my legs,

I won't moan, and I won't beg.

Oh, if I ever lose my legs,

Way oh way oh oh oh oh

I won't have to walk no more.
And if I ever lose my mouth,

All my teeth, north and south,

Yes, if I ever lose my mouth,

Way oh way oh oh oh oh

I won't have to talk ...
Did it take long to find me ?

I asked the faithful light.

Did it take long to find me,

And are you gonna stay tonight ?


Oh, I'm being followed by a moon shadow,

Moon shadow, moon shadow.

Leaping and hopping on a moon shadow,

Moon shadow, moon shadow.


MORRIS MAN’S LAMENT
As I walked by the brewery one morning so fair

To view the still vats and to sniff the malt air

I spied an old morris man singing this song

Oh bury me here ‘cause me gallup has gone


Wrap me up in me bells and me baldricks

No more in the pubs I’ll be seen

Just tell me old side mates I’ve taken a slide mates

And I’ll see you someday when your bells have turned green


Now “Bells have turned green” is a pub I’ve heard tell

Where morris men go when they don’t go to hell

Where the beer is so pretty and the girls are all free

They take you to heaven and don’t ask a fee


Wrap me up in me bells and me baldricks

No more in the pubs I’ll be seen

Just tell me old side mates I’ve taken a slide mates

And I’ll see you someday when your bells have turned green


Where it always rains when you dance “Shepherd’s hey”

And you don’t need a squire to show you the way

And the bagman is there buying drinks by the score

And everyone say’s good let’s have twenty more


Wrap me up in me bells and me baldricks

No more in the pubs I’ll be seen

Just tell me old side mates I’ve taken a slide mates

And I’ll see you someday when your bells have turned green


My time has been good boys I’ve had a fair part

And from your kind company I sadly do part

These words slowly dropped from his lips and his jaw

As he sank down contented in booze on the floor


Wrap me up in me bells and me baldricks

No more in the pubs I’ll be seen

Just tell me old side mates I’ve taken a slide mates

And I’ll see you someday when your bells have turned green


A MOTHER’S LAMENT
A muvver was washing ‘er baby one night

The youngest of ten and a delicate mite

The muvver was poor and the baby was thin

It was nought but an skelington covered with skin


The muvver turned round , picked the soap off the rack

She was only a moment but when she looked back

‘Er baby had gorn and in anguish she cried

“Oh where has my baby gorn ?” the angels replied ...


Oh your baby has gorn down the plug ‘ole

Your baby ‘as gorn down the plug

The poor little thing was so skinny and thin

It should ‘ave been washed in a jug (in a jug)

Oh your baby is perfectly ‘appy

It won’t need a barf no more

It’s a muckin’ abaht wiv the angels above

Not lorst but gone before


MOVING ON
I'm gonna leave this place tomorrow

I'm gonna leave this town behind

I'll be gone before the morning

I'll be outta sight and outta mind

That's why I'm moving on I'm moving on

I've been hanging round too long

It's time I was moving on
Well I'm tired of the same old faces

And I'm sick of the same old things

I'm getting bored with the same old places

Everybody starts to look the same

That's why I'm moving on I'm moving on

I've been hanging round too long

It's time I was moving on

I was trying to settle down here

But my feet just a won't stay still

And I felt that the grass is greener

On the other side of the hill

That's why I'm moving on I'm moving on

I've been hanging round too long

It's time I was moving on


I'm gonna leave this town tomorrow

I'm gonna leave this place behind

You can bet your bottom dollar

All my troubles will be far behind

That's why I'm moving on I'm moving on

I've been hanging round too long

It's time I was moving on
I've been hanging round too long

It's time I was moving on

I've been hanging round too long

It's time I was moving on



MR. TAMBOURINE MAN
Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.

Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.


Though I know that evening's empire has returned into sand,

Vanished from my hand, left me blindly here to stand,

But still not sleeping.

My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet.

I have no one to meet, and the ancient, empty street's

Too dead for dreaming.


Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.

Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.


Take me for a trip upon your magic whirling ship.

My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,

My toes too numb to step,

Wait only for my boot heels to be wandering.

I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade

Onto my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way.

I promise to go under it.
Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.

Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.


Though you might hear laughing spinning swinging madly across the sun,

It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escaping on the run,

But for the sky, there are no fences facing.

And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme

To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind.

I wouldn't play it any mind,

It's just a shadow you're seeing that he's chasing.
Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.

Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.


Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind.

Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,

The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,

Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free.

Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,

With all memory and fate, driven deep beneath the waves.

Let me forget about today until tomorrow.


Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me I'm not sleepy and there ain't no place I'm going to.

Hey Mr. Tambourine man play a song for me in the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.


MRS FANSHAW
When Mrs. Fanshaw fantasised, things often got romanticised,

There was for those who liked a rock cake, no bolder cook, by grave mistake,

She put cement dust in the spice, and Fanshaw said “It's very nice”,

And ground his teeth and coughed and sighed, and very soon thereafter , died.


Now though England's a pagan land, some citizens still make a stand,

While Fanshaw's faith was lapsed RC, his wife was Christmas C of E,

Yet down the years she had forgot ,what an arse he was,

And what funerary pomps were meet, and which were poison for her sweet.


A representative of Rome was summoned quickly to the home,

To explain the Catholic rites, and wrongs, and ways, and mays, and mights,

Father Ignatius (29), not only godly, but divine,

Within minutes of the time he met her she found love at first sight in a buretta.


Unchecked by ultra monstrance guilt, her love ran wild and at full tilt,

From that day forth she planned, full spate, to swallow up this celibate

The very night her spouse chose to knock off in, she danced with glee upon his coffin,

And by his box was not a dirge she sang, but praises for the clergy.


With an ardour mostly found in latins, Mrs F. turned up at Mass, and matins,

And from the second row of pews, tried to communicate her views.

Rattling her rosary in her best clothes and hosiery,

With sad unconsummated sighs, Mrs.F. unfrocked him with her eyes.


Her fantasies began to grow, that she could die she loved him so,

What a man so strong and chaste, what a chest, oh what a waste,

If he could only leave his pedestal and clasp her close, or even better still,

Inflamed with lust and satyriasis, chase her naked round the diocese.


But Mrs. Fanshaw’s guile and gaiety, ‘though it might have laid the laity,

Sometimes coy, sometimes salacious, never did ignite Ignatius.

Her passions always animated, blew up one Sunday when he stated,

“Today I have this news to dish up, I'm leaving to become a bishop”


Mrs. Fanshaw blenched, Mrs. Fanshaw paled, Mrs. Fanshaw cried, Mrs. Fanshaw wailed,

My love won’t die, my love won’t cease, how can you leave the diocese?

She didn’t even get a kick from thinking of his bishopric,

A fallacy she said, that’s it, and threw a most unpleasant fit.


They saw her raise her head and shake it, no truth had ever seemed so naked

Since Adam's first defoliation, no Budda, or other holy Asian

Could calm the rage that boiled up in her breast now she was foiled,

And voicing vulgar unromanticals, she kicked him soundly in the canticles.


The congregation rose in wrath, to avenge this insult to the cloth,

Not lacking for a precedent, to burn her at the stake they went.

Hymn books and Psalters soon caught fire, they threw her screaming on the pyre,

And she remained though quickly slaked, for ever afterwards half baked.



MRS. ROBINSON
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know,

Wow wow wow

God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson

Heaven holds a place for those who pray

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey


We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files

We'd like to help you learn to help yourself

Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes

Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home


And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know,

Wow wow wow

God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson

Heaven holds a place for those who pray

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey


Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes

Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes

It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair

Most of all you've got to hide from the kids


Coo, coo, coo-ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson

Jesus loves you more than you will know,

Wow wow wow

God bless you, please, Mrs. Robinson

Heaven holds a place for those who pray

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey


Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon

Going to the candidates' debate

Laugh about it, shout about it when you've got to choose

Every way you look at it, you lose


Where have you gone, Joe Di Maggio

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you,

Woo woo woo

What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson

"Jolting Joe" has left and gone away

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey


MY LIFE
Got a call from an old friend we used to be real close

Said he couldn't go on the American way

Closed his shop sold his house bought a ticket to the west coast

Now he gives them a stand up routine in L A


I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm all right

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore this is my life

Go ahead with your own life leave me alone


I never said you had to offer me a second chance

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

Don't get me wrong I still belong

You can speak your mind but not on my time


They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place

Then they tell you you can't sleep with somebody else

Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space

Either way it's OK you wake up with yourself


I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm all right

I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home

I don't care what you say anymore this is my life

Go ahead with your own life leave me alone


I never said you had to offer me a second chance

I never said I was a victim of circumstance

Don't get me wrong I still belong

You can speak your mind but not on my time


I don't care anymore what you say anymore this is my life

Go ahead with your own life leave me alone

MY TOWN
When I awake I think of you

Only my heartbreak makes me feel like a fool

You led me on just to bring me down and I felt so low

So if the stars are out tonight I’ll get up and go


On my way I walked through town

Stopped at your house but you weren't around

The lights were on to ward off thieves but you stayed out all night

It's you who stole my heart when you hadn't any right


It's my town but I've got to leave it

And head south to where the climate is kind

And if the time comes when I'm feeling better

I'll be back with the birds in the spring


Paid my fare and took the train

I'd soon forget but now I feel the pain

Though I tried to think of better days lying in my berth

I pondered revenge for what it was worth


It's my town but I've got to leave it

And head south to where the climate is kind

And if the time comes when I'm feeling better

I'll be back with the birds in the spring


I NEED YOUR LOVE SO BAD
I need someone’s hand to lead me through the night

I need someone’s arms to hold squeeze and squeeze me tight

Now when the night begins I’ve had enough

BecauseI need your love so bad


I need some lips to feel next to mine

I need someone to stand up and tell me when I’m lying

But when the lights are low and it’s time to go

That’s when I need your love so bad


So why don’t you give it up and bring it home to me

Or write it on a piece of paper baby so it can be read to me

Tell me that you love me and stop driving me mad

Because I, I need your love so bad


I need your soft voice to talk to me at night

I don’t want you to worry baby I know we can make everything all right

Listen to my plea baby bring it to me

Because I need your love so bad


NEVER GOING BACK AGAIN
She broke down and left me again

Made me see where I'd been

Been down one time been down two times

Never going back again


You don't know what it means to win

Come down and see me again

Been down one time been down two times

Never going back again



NEW KID IN TOWN
There’s talk on the street, it sounds so familiar

Great expectations, everybody’s watchin’ you

People you meet they all seem to know you

Even your old friends treat you like you’re something new


Johnny come lately, the new kid in town

Everybody loves you, so don’t let them down


You look in her eyes, they music begins to play

Hopeless romantics here we go again

But after a while you’re looking the other way

It’s those restless hearts that never mend


Johnny come lately, the new kid in town

Will she still love you, when you’re not around


There’s so many things you should have told her

But night after night you’re willing to hold her,

Just hold her tears on your shoulder
There’s talk on the street, it’s there to remind you

Doesn’t really matter which side you’re on

You’re walking away and they’re talking behind you

They will never forget you ‘till somebody new comes along


Where’ve you been lately, there’s a new kid in town

Everybody loves him don’t they?

And he’s holding her and you’re still around oh my my

There’s a new kid in town

Just another new kid in town

Everybody’s talking ‘bout the new kid in town, oo hoo

Everybody walking like the new kid in town
There’s a new kid in town, I don’t want to hear it

There’s a new kid in town, I don’t want to hear it

There’s a new kid in town

There’s a new kid in town

There’s a new kid in town everybody’s talking

There’s a new kid in town everybody’s walking

There’s a new kid in town

There’s a new kid in town


THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OLD DIXIE DOWN
Virgil Caine is my name

And I served on the Danville train

‘Till Stoneman’s cavalry came

And tore up the tracks again

In the winter of '65

We were hungry, just barely alive

By May the tenth Richmond had fell

It’s a time I remember oh so well


The night they drove old Dixie down

And all the bells were ringing

The night they drove old Dixie down

And all the people were singing

They went na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Back with my wife in Tennessee

When one day she said to me

Virgil quick come see

There goes the Robert E. Lee

Now, I don't mind them chopping wood

And I don't care if their money's no good

Just take what you need and leave the rest

But they should never have taken the very best


The night they drove old Dixie down

And all the bells were ringing

The night they drove old Dixie down

And all the people were singing

They went na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Like my father before me

I'm a working man

And like my brother before me

I took the rebel stand

Well, he was just eighteen, proud and brave

But a Yankee laid him in his grave

I swear by the mud below my feet

You can't raise a Caine back up when he’s in defeat


The night they drove old Dixie down

And all the bells were ringing

The night they drove old Dixie down

And all the people were singing

They went na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN
Nights in white satin never reaching the end

Letters I've written never meaning to send

Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before

Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore

'Cause I love you, yes, I love you

Oh, how I love you


Gazing at people, some hand in hand

Just what I'm going through, they can't understand

Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend

Just what you want to be, you'll be in the end

And I love you, yes, I love you

Oh, how I love you


Nights in white satin never reaching the end

Letters I've written never meaning to send

Beauty I'd always missed with these eyes before

Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore

'Cause I love you, yes, I love you

Oh, how I love you


NO MATTER WHAT
No matter what you are

I will always be with you

Doesn’t matter what you do girl

Ooh girl with you


No matter what you do

I will always be around

Won’t you tell me what you’ve found girl

Ooh girl won’t you


Knock down the old grey wall

Be a part of it all

Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do

If you would give me all

I would give it to you
Nothing would be,

Nothing would be,

Nothing would be
No matter where you go

There will always be a place

Can’t you see it in my face girl

Ooh girl won’t you

Ooh girl won’t you

NO MILK TODAY
No milk today, my love is gone away

The bottle stands forlorne, a symbol of the dawn

No milk today, it seems a common sight

But people passing by, don't know the reason why


How could they know just what that message means

The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams

How could they know a palace there had been

Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen


No milk today, it wasn't always so

The company was gay we turned night into day


But all that's left is a place dark and lonely

A terraced house in the main street back of town

Becomes a shrine when I think of you only

Just two up two down


No milk today, my love is gone away

The bottle stands forlorne, a symbol of the dawn

No milk today, it seems a common sight

But people passing by, don't know the reason why


As music played the faster we did dance

We felt both in at once the start of our romance


How could they know just what that message means

The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams

How could they know a palace there had been

Behind the door, where my love reigned as queen


No milk today, my love is gone away

The bottle stands forlorne, a symbol of the dawn

No milk today, it seems a common sight

But people passing by, don't know the reason why


But all that's left is a place dark and lonely

A terraced house in the main street back of town

Becomes a shrine when I think of you only

Just two up two down


NO MORE LONELY NIGHTS
I can wait another day until I call you

You’ve only got my heart on a string

And everything a flutter
But another lonely night might take forever

We’ve only got each other to blame

It’s all the same to love

‘Cause I know what I feel to be right


No more lonely nights

No more lonely nights

You’re my guiding light

Day or night I’m always there


No more lonely nights (never be another)

No more lonely nights

You’re my guiding light

Day or night I’m always there


And I won’t go away until you tell me so

No, I’ll never go away

Yes, I know what I feel to be right
No more lonely nights (never be another)

No more lonely nights

You’re my guiding light

Day or night I’m always there


And I won’t go away until you tell me so

No, I’ll never go away

No more lonely nights, no no
NO WOMAN, NO CRY
No woman, no cry no woman, no cry

No woman, no cry no woman, no cry


Say, I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Observing the hypocrites

As they would mingle with the good people we meet


Good friends we have, good friends we've lost

Along the way

In this bright future you can forget your past

So dry your tears I say, and


No woman, no cry no woman, no cry

Eh, little darling, don't shed no tears no woman, no cry


Say, I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire light

As it was love would burning through the night


Then we would cook corn-meal porridge

Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

So I've got to push on through


But while I'm gone

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right

Everything's gonna be all right
No woman, no cry no woman, no cry

No woman, no cry no woman, no cry


Say, I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

And then Georgie would make the fire light

As it was love would burning through the night


Then we would cook corn-meal porridge

Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

So I've got to push on through


No woman, no cry no woman, no cry

No woman, no cry no woman, no cry

No woman, no cry no woman, no cry

No woman, no cry no woman, no cry



NOTHING
It’s been seven hours and fifteen days

Since you took your love away

I go out every night and sleep all day

Since you took your love away

Since you’ve been gone I can do whatever I want

I can see whomever I choose

I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant

But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues

‘Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you
It’s been so lonely without you here

Like a bird without a song

Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling

Tell me baby where did I go wrong

I could put my arms around every girl I see

But they’d only remind me of you

I went to the doctor, guess what she told me, guess what she told me

She said boy you’d better try to have fun no matter what you do

But she’s a fool

‘Cause nothing compare, nothing compare to you


All the flowers that you planted for me in the back yard

All died when you went away

I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard

But I’m willing to give it another try

‘Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you

‘Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you

‘Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you
NOW THAT THE MAGIC HAS GONE
In my life I’ve seen sorrow, heartache and pain

I’ve burned in the sunshine, been drowned in the pouring rain

Had too many lovers and not too much love

I’ve been tried and convicted of things I’m not guilty of

I was locked in a prison, ‘till you came and set me free

So how can you say you’re no good for me


Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away, nothing left to say

Anyway, now that the magic has gone

There’s no sense in holding on, baby now

Now that the magic has gone
You know love can be tender, love can be cruel

It can smile like an angel while it treats you just like a fool

It captures and haunts you until you give in

And it stacks the dice against you in a game you never can win


Just when I was thinking lady luck was you and me

You tell me it’s over, it’s time for breaking free


Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away, nothing left to say

Anyway, now that the magic has gone

There’s no sense in holding on, baby now

Now that the magic has gone
I won’t try to hold you down

I might as well let go

But my heart keeps asking how to
There’s no prize for the loser, only the winner takes the purse

Some say love’s a blessing, but for me it’s just a curse


Now that the magic has gone

You just wanna walk away, nothing left to say

Anyway, now that the magic has gone

There’s no sense in holding on, baby now

Now that the magic has gone
NUTTING GIRL
Come all you jovial fellows and listen to my song

It is a little ditty and it won’t contain you long

It’s of a fair young maiden was living down in Kent

Arose one Summer’s morning and she a nutting went


To me right fol rol to me rol tol tol

Sing wack for the doo ral day

And what few nuts this poor girl had

She threw them all away


It’s of this brisk young ploughboy was ploughing of his land

He called unto his horses and bid them gently stand

As he sat down upon his plough all for a song to sing

His voice was so melodious it made the valleys ring


To me right fol rol to me rol tol tol

Sing wack for the doo ral day

And what few nuts this poor girl had

She threw them all away


It’s of this fair young damsel was nutting in the woods

His voice was so melodious it charmed her where she stood

She could no longer stay

And what few nuts she had poor girl she threw them all away


To me right fol rol to me rol tol tol

Sing wack for the doo ral day

And what few nuts this poor girl had

She threw them all away


She came up to young Johnny as he sat on his plough

She said young man I really feel I cannot tell you how

So he took her to some shady broom and there he laid her down

She said young man I really feel the world go round and round (/up and down)


To me right fol rol to me rol tol tol

Sing wack for the doo ral day

And what few nuts this poor girl had

She threw them all away


So come all you local maidens this warning by me take

If you should a nutting go don’t stay out too late

For if you should stay too late to hear the ploughboy sing

You might have a young farmer to nurse up in the Spring


To me right fol rol to me rol tol tol

Sing wack for the doo ral day

And what few nuts this poor girl had

She threw them all away



OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA
Desmond has a barrow in the market place

OH BOY
All my love, all my kissing

You don't know what you've been missing


Oh boy, when you're with me, oh boy

The world would see that you were meant for me-e-e-e


All my life, I've been a-waiting

Tonight there'll be no hesitating


Oh boy, when you're with me, oh boy

The world would see that you were meant for me-e-e-e


Stars appear and shadows are a-falling

I can hear my heart a-calling

If you're not the lover making everything right

I'm gonna be your baby tonight


All my life, I've been a-waiting

Tonight there'll be no hesitating


Stars appear and shadows are a-falling

I can hear my heart a-calling

A little bit of loving makes everything all right

I'm gonna be your baby tonight


All my love, all my kissing

THE OLD DUN COW
Some pals and me in a public house, were playing dominoes one night

When all of a sudden in the pot man rushed, with his face all chalky white

What’s up said Brown, have you seen your Aunt, have you seen your Aunt Maria

My Aunt Marie be blowed said he, the bleeding pub’s on fire


And there was Brown upside down, mopping up the whisky on the floor

Booze booze the firemen cried, as they came knocking at the door

Don’t let them in ‘till it’s all mopped up, someone shouted McIntyre

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk, when the Old Dun Cow caught fire


Oh fine said Brown what a bit of luck, come along with me he said

Down in the cellar if the fire’s not there, we’ll have a rare old spree

So we all went down with good old Brown, and the beer could not be missed

We hadn’t been there ten minutes or more, before we were quite pissed


And there was Brown upside down, mopping up the whisky on the floor

Booze booze the firemen cried, as they came knocking at the door

Don’t let them in ‘till it’s all mopped up, someone shouted McIntyre

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk, when the Old Dun Cow caught fire


Old Johnson rushed to the port wine tub, and gave it a few hard knocks

Then he took off his pantaloons, likewise his shoes and socks

Hold on said Snooks if you want to wash your feet, there’s a drop of old ale right there

Don’t put your trotters in the port wine tub, when we’ve got some old stale beer


And there was Brown upside down, mopping up the whisky on the floor

Booze booze the firemen cried, as they came knocking at the door

Don’t let them in ‘till it’s all mopped up, someone shouted McIntyre

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk, when the Old Dun Cow caught fire


Just then there was a terrible crash, and half the bloody roof gave way

We got soaked with the firemen’s hose, but still we were quite gay

Well we got some sacks and some old tin tacks, and bunged ourselves inside

And we kept on drinking good old scotch ‘till we were bleary eyed


And there was Brown upside down, mopping up the whisky on the floor

Booze booze the firemen cried, as they came knocking at the door

Don’t let them in ‘till it’s all mopped up, someone shouted McIntyre

And we all got blue blind paralytic drunk, when the Old Dun Cow caught fire


THE OLDEST SWINGER
When you tap up a bird in the folk club bar

Drive her home in your comfy car

Find you went to school with her ma and pa

You’re the oldest swinger in town


When you avoid a mirror by the light of the day

Think it looks distinguished when your hair turns grey

Zip up your Wranglers and your belly’s in the way

You’re the oldest swinger in town


There he goes with his wire wheels

Easy Rider specs and his nine inch heels

He never shows how old he feels

Cause he’s the oldest swinger in town


When you blow-wave your hair twice a week

The girls don’t understand a word you speak

You walk in the disco and they offer you their seat

You’re the oldest swinger in town


When you prefer beer to Bacardi and coke

Suffer next morning from the fags you smoke

When you’d have another dance but you’re scared of a stroke

You’re the oldest swinger in town


There he goes with his wire wheels

Easy Rider specs and his nine inch heels

He never shows how old he feels

Cause he’s the oldest swinger in town


When sex becomes a monthly chore

When you wonder how you every managed on the floor

When sometimes you even forget what it’s for

You’re the oldest swinger in town


And when you’re down to the last of your slim-jim ties

When the president of the Bill Haley Fan Club dies

When you’ve got suitcases instead of bags under your eyes

You’re the oldest swinger in town


ON THE BORDER
The fishing boats go out across the evening water

Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border

The winds wipe up the waves so loud

The ghost moon sails amongst the clouds

And turns the rifles into silver on the border
On my wall the colours of the maps are running

From Africa the winds they talk of changes coming

The torches flare up in the night

The hand that sets the farms alight

Has spread the word to those who’re waiting on the border
In the village where I grew up nothing seems the same

Still you never see the change from day to day

No one sees the customs slip away
Late at night the rain was knocking on my window

I moved across the darkened room and in the lamp glow

I thought I saw down in the street

The spirit of the century

Telling us that we’re standing on the border
On the island where I grew up nothing seems the same

It’s just the patterns that remain an empty shell

But there’s a strangeness in the air

You feel it too well


The fishing boats go out across the evening water

Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border

The winds wipe up the waves so loud

The ghost moon sails amongst the clouds

And turns the rifles into silver on the border
On the border on the border on the border

ONE MORE CHANCE
Calling all olive branches and laid off doves

There's work to do before we say goodbye

And the tears which welled beneath his sombre shroud

And hurt with the pain of somebody who knows

He can never be like the sort of a rose

Whose beauty remains even though the bloom goes

Oh one more chance
Naked tree of winter seems to stand so proud

Lord you know more mortal than we know

And who can see him turning to the face of love

And hear him pleading with her don’t let it die

And I see her leaning on my shoulder to cry

Oh one more chance


And is it too late to change the way we're bound to go

Is it too late for surely one of us must know



ONE MORE NIGHT
I've been trying oh so long to let you know

Let you know know how I feel

So if I stumble and if I fall just hold me back

So I can beat you see


Please just give me one more night

Give me that one more night

Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever

Please just give me one more night

Give me that one more night

Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever


I've been sitting here so long just wasting time

Just staring at the phone

And I was wondering should I call you then I thought

Well maybe you're not alone


Please just give me one more night

Give me that one more night

Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever

Please just give me one more night

Give me that one more night

Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever


Just give me one more night

Give me that one more night

Oh one more night cause I can't wait for ever

Please just give me one more night

Give me that one more night

Oh one more night cause I can't wait forever


Like a river to the sea I will always be with you

And if you sail away I will follow you


To give me one more night

Just give me that one more night

One more night cause I can't wait forever
I don't think there'll ever be a time you'll ever feel the same

And I know it's only words

But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here

And maybe we both can love


I'll give you just one more night

Give me that one more night

Just one more night cause I can't wait for ever

Just give me one more night

Give me that one more night

Just one more night cause I can't wait forever



ONE OF THESE NIGHTS
One of these nights one of these crazy old nights

We’re gonna find out pretty mama what turns on your lights

The full moon is calling the fever is high

And the wicked wind whispers and moans

You’ve got your demons you’ve got desires

Well I’ve got a few of my own


Ooh someone to be kind to

In between the dark and the light

Ooh coming right behind you

Swear I’m gonna find you one of these nights


One of these dreams one of these lost and lonely dreams now

We’re gonna find one girl one that really screams

I’ve been searching for the daughter of the devil himself

I’ve been searching for an angel in white

I’ve been waiting for a woman who’s a little of both

And I can feel her but she’s nowhere in sight


Ooh loneliness will blind you

In between the wrong and the right

Ooh coming right behind you

Swear I’m gonna find you one of these nights


One of these nights

In between the dark and the light

Coming right behind you

Swear I’m gonna find you

Get you baby one of these nights

One of these nights


One of these nights

One of these nights

One of these nights

One of these nights


One of these nights

One of these nights

One of these nights

One of these nights


ONLY LOVE
Some say a heart is just like a wheel

When you bend it you can’t mend it

And my love for you is like a sinking ship

And my heart is on that ship out in mid-ocean


They say that death is a tragedy

It comes once and then it’s over

But my only wish is for that deep dark abyss

‘Cause what’s the use of living with no true lover


When harm is done no love can be won

I know it happens frequently

What I can’t understand and please God hold my hand

Is why it should happen to me


And it’s only love and it’s only love

That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out

That can wreck a human being and turn him inside out
ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG
Come out Virginia don’t let me wait

You Catholic girls start much too late

But sooner or later it comes down to fate

I might as well be the one

Well they showed you a statue and told you to pray

They built you a temple and locked you away

But they never told you the price that you’d pay

For things that you might have done


For only the good die young that’s what I said

Only the good die young, only the good die young


You might have heard that I run with a dangerous crowd

We ain’t too pretty, we ain’t too proud

We might be laughing a bit too loud

But that never hurt no one

So come on Virginia show me a sign

Send up a signal, I’ll throw you the line

The stained glass curtain you’re hiding behind

Never lets in the sun


Only the good die young I tell you

Only the good die young I tell you


You got a nice white dress and a party at your confirmation

You got a brand new soul and a cross of gold

But Virginia they didn’t give you quite enough information

You didn’t count on me when you were counting on your rosary

And they say there’s a heaven for those who will wait

Some say it’s better but I say it ain’t

I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints

The sinners are much more fun


You know that only the good die young, I tell yer

You know that only the good die young, I tell yer

You said your mother told you all that I could give you

Was a reputation

Oh she never cared for me

But does she ever say a prayer for me


Ooh woh woh

Come out, come out, come out Virginia don’t let me wait

You Catholic girls start too late

But sooner or later it comes down to fate

I might as well be the one
You know that only the good die young tell you baby

You know that only the good die young only the good die young

Only the good die young, only the good die young

OUT BEHIND THE BARN
You say the world’s in trouble

You say you don’t feel clean

You don’t have an answer but baby don’t ask me

I don’t give a darn in hell, out behind the barn


Oh out behind the barn, I’m chewing on a piece of hay

I’m up to my knees in cow shit, I’m shovelling my blues away


You say I was your leader, you say I turned you on

You’re starting to suspect now, it was all a con

I don’t give a darn in hell, out behind the barn
Oh out behind the barn, I’m chewing on a piece of hay

I’m up my knees in cow shit, I’m shovelling my blues away


You say I owe you something, you ask me for my plan

Just who were you expecting, Jesus Zimmerman

I don’t give a darn in hell, out behind the barn
Oh out behind the barn, I’m chewing on a piece of hay

I’m up to my knees in cow shit, I’m shovelling my blues away


OUT MY BACK DOOR
Just got home from Illinois locked the back door oh boy

Got to set down take a rest on the porch

Imagination set's in fairly soon I'm singing

Toot toot toot looking out my back door


There's a giant doing cartwheels statue wearing high heels

Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn

Dinosaur with troll there listening to Buck Owens

Toot toot toot looking out my back door

Tamarinds and elephants are playing in the band

Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon dood ju ju

A wondrous apparition provided by magician

Toot toot toot looking out my back door


Tamarinds and elephants are playing in the band

Won't you take a ride on the flying spoon dood ju ju

Bother me tomorrow today I found no sorrows

Toot toot toot looking out my back door


All our troubles Illinois locked the front door oh boy

Look at all the happy creatures dancing on the lawn

Bother me tomorrow today I found no sorrows

Toot toot toot looking out my back door


OVER AND OVER
Over and over and over

I gotta baby baby baby till my tongue spirals out of my head

When there’s no one looking over my shoulder

I like to write rock and roll but it doesn’t always hang together

So what do I know or any one know about love
You ask me how I feel I said my heart is not for real

Why don’t you listen to it sometimes

I’ve wandered round the moors on many misguided tours

Poor Emily and Charlotte pour their hearts out

What did they know what could they know about love

What do they know or any one know about love


Over and over and over

Baby baby baby till my tongue spirals out of my head


Over and over and over

Baby baby baby what made you think I need it maybe

I’m going up here, rolling up over

I have to write rock and roll just to keep body and soul together

For what do I know or anyone know about love
You ask me how I feel I said my heart is not for real

Why don’t you listen to it sometimes

I’ve wandered round the moors on many misguided tours

Poor Emily and Charlotte pour their hearts out

What did they know what could they know about love

What do they know or any one know about love


Over and over and over

Baby baby baby till my tongue spirals out of my head

Over and over and over

Baby baby baby what made you think I need it maybe

Over and over and over

Baby baby baby till my tongue spirals out of my head

Over and over and over

Baby baby baby what made you think I need it maybe


Over and over and over

Baby baby baby till my tongue spirals out of my head

Over and over and over

Baby baby baby what made you think I need it maybe

Over and over and over

Baby baby baby till my tongue spirals out of my head

Over and over and over

Baby baby baby what made you think I need it maybe


OVER THE MOUNTAIN
Well it happened to be on a cold Winter’s night

That I first took a notion to marry

I lifted my rod and my hat in my hand

And I seemed for to be in a hurry

I jaunted along to her cabin I came

My heart it rejoiced when I viewed this fair dame

I lifted the latch and I bid her good day

Saying I’m going over the mountain


Now what foolish notions come into your head

But I’m glad for to see you so merry

It’s twelve of the clock and the old folks’ in bed

Speak low or me mummy will hear me

Well if this be jesting then jesting is true

I’ve courted a year and I think that will do

This night I’ve a notion to marry with you

If you’ll venture with me o’er the mountain


Oh no my fond charmer I’ll stay as I am

For I think it be fitter and better

I lifted my rod and my hat in my hand

Saying I’ll soon put an end to this chatter

Stop stop my bold laddie while I get my shoes

My heart it rejoiced when I heard the glad news

She ran to the door saying I’ll hope you’ll excuse

But I’d love to go over the mountain


So now you’re in earnest she said with a smile

Let providence be my director

I’ve love in my bosom I ne’er will deny

Though the sentence it seemed to affect her

I’m using no magic no potions or spells

I’ve a true honest heart and I love you right well

And if you’ll agree and my parents don’t tell

We’ll go pick our way o’er the mountain


Well the moon and the stars ‘luminated the sky

And the morning star brightly shining

When me and my darling set out our long journey

Till we came to the Alter of Hymen

‘Tween fiddling and dancing we spent the whole day

The fear of marriage it soon fades away

And often I turn to my darling and say

Do you rue going over the mountain


Oh no my fond charmer now why should I rue

When I took the advice of my laddie

And now that I’m over the mountain with you

I’ll regard not the scorn of my daddy

Let this be a lesson to all pretty maids

Slip out with your lad when the old folks’ in bed

And don’t be afraid your fair charmer to wed

Don’t you rue going over the mountain



PARADISE
La la la la, la la la la

La la la la, la la la

La la la la la, la la la la la
If Paradise is half as nice

As Heaven that you take me to

Who needs Paradise

I’d rather have you


They say Paradise is up in the stars

But I needn’t sigh because it’s so far

‘Cause I know it’s worth a Heaven on Earth

For me where you are


The look from your eyes the touch from your hand

And I seem to fly to some other land

When you are around my heart always pounds

Just like a brass band


If Paradise is half as nice

As Heaven that you take me to

Who needs Paradise

I’d rather have you


La la la la, la la la la

La la la la, la la la

La la la la la, la la la la la
If Paradise is half as nice

As Heaven that you take me to

Who needs Paradise

I’d rather have you

Oh yes I’d rather have you
La la la la, la la la la

La la la la, la la la

La la la la la, la la la la la
They say Paradise is up in the stars

But I needn’t sigh because it’s so far

‘Cause I know it’s worth a Heaven on Earth

For me where you are


The look from your eyes the touch from your hand

And I seem to fly to some other land

When you are around my heart always pounds

Just like a brass band
