A Horse Named Bill

I had a horse, his name was Bill
And when he ran, he couldn't stand still
He ran away, one day and also, I ran with him

He ran so hard he couldn't stop
He ran into a barber's shop
He fell exhaustedized, with his teeth in the barber's left shoulder

Oh I went out into the woods last year
To hunt for beer and not for deer
I am, no I ain't, a great, sharp shootress

At shooting birds, I am a beaut
There is no bird I cannot shoot
In the eye, in the ear, in the finger

In Frisco Bay there lives a whale
And she eats porkchops by the bale
By the hatbox, by the pillbox, by the hogshead, by the schooner

Her name is Lena, she is a peach
But don't leave food within her reach
Or babies, or nursemaids, or chocolate ice cream sodas

She loves to laugh and when she smiles
You just see teeth for miles and miles
And tonsils, and spareribs, and things too fierce to mention

She knows no games so when she plays
She rolls her eyes for days and days
She vibrates, she yodels, and breaks the ten commandments

Oh what can you do in a case like that
Oh what can you do but stamp on your hat
Or on an eggshell, or a toothbrush, or anything that's helpless

 

[GenerationX]

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said, You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remembered throwing punches around
And preachin from my chair

Who are you
(who who who who)
I really wanna know
Tell me who are you
(who who who who)
Cuz I really wanna know

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the rolling pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
But with a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the tin pan
God there's got to be another way

Well who are you
(who who who who)
Oh, who are you
(who who who who)
C'mon, tell me who are you
Oh, who the **** are you

Oooh wah ooh wah ooh wah ...

Who are you
(who who who who)
Who are you
(who who who who)

I really wanna know
I really wanna know
C'mon tell me who are you
Oh I really wanna know

I know there`s a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
And still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this

Well,who are you
(who who who who)
C'mon tell me who are you
Who are you
Oh I really wanna know
Tell me tell me who are you
Come on, come on who
Ahh, who the **** are you
Who are you
Oh tell me who are you
I really wanna know
Oh I really wanna know
C'mon tell me who are you
you, you, ahhhh you

 

[speck76]

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say

That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
and miles and miles and miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

 

[Woody13]

Father and I went down to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding.

Chorus
Yankee doodle, keep it up
Yankee doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.

There was Captain Washington
Upon a slapping stallion
A-giving orders to his men
I guess there was a million.

Chorus

And then the feathers on his hat
They looked so' tarnal fin-a
I wanted pockily to get
To give to my Jemima.

Chorus

And then we saw a swamping gun
Large as a log of maple
Upon a deuced little cart
A load for father's cattle.

Chorus

And every time they shoot it off
It takes a horn of powder
It makes a noise like father's gun
Only a nation louder.

Chorus

I went as nigh to one myself
As' Siah's underpinning
And father went as nigh agin
I thought the deuce was in him.
We saw a little barrel, too
The heads were made of leather
They knocked upon it with little clubs
And called the folks together.

Chorus

And there they'd fife away like fun
And play on cornstalk fiddles
And some had ribbons red as blood
All bound around their middles.
The troopers, too, would gallop up
And fire right in our faces
It scared me almost to death
To see them run such races.

Chorus

Uncle Sam came there to change
Some pancakes and some onions
For' lasses cake to carry home
To give his wife and young ones.

Chorus

But I can't tell half I see
They kept up such a smother
So I took my hat off, made a bow
And scampered home to mother.

Chorus

Cousin Simon grew so bold
I thought he would have cocked it
It scared me so I streaked it off
And hung by father's pocket.

Chorus

And there I saw a pumpkin shell
As big as mother's basin
And every time they touched it off
They scampered like the nation.


Other Verses:

And there was Captain Washington,
With gentlefolks about him,
They say he's gown so 'tarnal proud
He will not ride without them.

Chorus

There came Gen'ral Washington
Upon a snow-white charger
He looked as big as all outdoors
And thought that he was larger.

Chorus

Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister
Hey Sister, Go Sister, Soul Sister, Go Sister

He met Marmalade down in Old New Orleans
Struttin' her stuff on the street
She said 'Hello,
Hey Joe, you wanna give it a go?' Mmm, Mmm.

Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha-choca-lata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

He sat in her boudoir while she freshened up
The boy drank all her magnolia-wine
On the black satin sheets oh I swear he started to freak

Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha-choca-lata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?

(Instrumental bridge)

Hey, Hey, Hey
Touching her skin feelin' silky smooth
The colour of cafe au lait
Made the savage beast inside
Roar until it cried, More, More, More

Now he's back home doing 9 to 5
Living his grey flannel life
But when he turns off to sleep
Old memories meet, More, More, More

Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da Da
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya here
Mocha-choco-lata Ya Ya
Creole Lady Marmalade

Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Voulez-vous couchez avec moi ce soir?
Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?
Mmm, Hmmm

Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Da Da
Itchi Gitchi Ya Ya Here
Mocha-choco-lata Ya Ya

[speck76]

I want to run, I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside
I want to reach out and touch the flame
Where the streets have no name
I want to feel sunlight on my face
See the dust cloud disappear without a trace
I want to take shelter from the poison rain

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We're still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do

The cities a flood and our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind, trampled in dust
I'll show you a place high on a desert plain

Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
We’re still building, then burning down love
Burning down love
And when I go there, I go there with you
It's all I can do
Our love turns to rust
We’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
Oh, see our love, see our love turn to rust
And we’re beaten and blown by the wind
Blown by the wind
When I got there, I go there with you
It’s all I can do

 

[stranger]

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things slide by so carelessly

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
Down the same streets that I did

Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it

Oh no, oh no no no
Oh no, oh no no no

 

[GenerationX]

You tell me that you`ve
Never been this way before
You tell me things I know
That I`ve heard somewhere

You`re standing in the places and
You`re staring down through faces
That bring to mind traces of a girl
A girl that I knew somewhere

I just can`t put my
Finger on what it is
That says to me, watch out
Don`t believe her

I can`t give any reasons, girl
My thoughts are bound
Down in a whirl
I just can`t think who in
The world was that girl
I know I met her somewhere

Someway, somehow
This same thing was done
Someone, somewhere
Did me this same wrong

Well, goodbye, dear, I just
Can`t take this chance again
My fingers are still burning
From the last time

And if your love was not a game
I only have myself to blame
That`s as may be, I can`t explain
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere

And if your love was not a game
I only have myself to blame
That`s as may be, I can`t explain
Just ask the girl that I knew somewhere

 

[stranger]

I'm living without you
I know all about you
I have run you down into the ground
Spread disease about you over town

I used to adore you
I couldn't control you
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
To keep myself around and close to you

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I couldn't care less

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know

I used to amuse you
I knew that i'd lose you

Now you're here and begging for a chance
But there's no way in hell i'd take you back

Do you have an opinion?
A mind of your own?
I thought you were special
I thought you should know
But I've run out of patience
I've run out of comments
I'm tired of the violence
I couldn't care less.

I'm looking for a new...
I'm looking for a new...
I'm looking for a new...
I'm looking for a new...

But we were the talk of the town
We were the talk of the town
We were the talk of the town
We were the talk of the town

I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special
I thought you were special...

"Wouldn't It Be Loverly"

~My Fair Lady~

It's rather dull in town,
I think I'll take me to Paree.
The missus wants to open up the castle in Capri.
Me doctor recommends a quiet summer by the sea.

Mmmm-mmm.
Mmmm-mmm.
Wouldn't it be loverly?
Where're y' bound for this year, Eliza: Biarritz?

All I want is a room somewhere;
Far away from the cold night air.
With one enormous chair;
Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Lots of choc'late for me to eat;
Lots of coal makin' lots of heat;
Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet,
Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still!
I would never budge 'til Spring crep over me winder sill.
Someone's head restin' on my knee;
Warm and tender as he can be,
Who takes good care of me;
Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Loverly, loverly, loverly, loverly.

All I want is a room somewhere;
Far away from the cold night air.
With one enormous chair;

Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Lots of choc'late for me to eat;
Lots of coal makin' lots of heat;
Warm face, warm 'ands, warm feet,
Oh wouldn't it be loverly?
Oh, so loverly sittin' abso-bloomin'-lutely still!
I would never budge 'till Spring crep over me winder sill.

Someone's head restin' on my knee;
Warm and tender as he can be,

Who takes good care of me;
Oh wouldn't it be loverly?

Loverly,
Loverly,
Loverly.

Oh wouldn't it be loverly?

Loverly,
Loverly,
Loverly.
Wouldn't it be loverly?

"Ascot Gavotte"

~My Fair Lady~

Ev'ry duke and earl and peer is here
Ev'ryone who should be here is here
What a smashing, positively dashing
Spectacle: the Ascot op'ning day
At the gate are all the horses
Waiting for the cue to fly away
What a gripping, absolutely ripping
Moment at the Ascot op'ning day
Pulses rushing
Faces flushing
Heartbeats speed up
I have never been so keyed up
Any second now
They'll begin to run
Hark! A bell is ringing
They are springing
Forward
Look! It has begun
What a frenzied moment that was
Didn't they maintain an exhausting pace
'Twas a thrilling, absolutely chilling
Running of the Ascot op'ning race

- Everything's Coming Up Roses Lyrics

Momma Rose
[Speaking] Finish? We're just beginning and there's no one to stop at this time!
I had a dream, a dream about you, baby.
It's gonna come true, baby.
They think that we're through, but baby,

You'll be swell! You'll be great!
Gonna have the whole world on the plate!
Starting here, starting now,
honey, everything's coming up roses!

Clear the decks! Clear the tracks!
You've got nothing to do but relax.
Blow a kiss. Take a bow.
Honey, everything's coming up roses!

Now's your inning. Stand the world on it's ear!
Set it spinning! That'll be just the beginning!
Curtain up! Light the lights!
You got nothing to hit but the heights!
You'll be swell. You'll be great.
I can tell. Just you wait.
That lucky star I talk about is due!
Honey, everything's coming up roses for me and for you!

You can do it, all you need is a hand.
We can do it, Mama is gonna see to it!
Curtain up! Light the lights!
We got nothing to hit but the heights!
I can tell, wait and see.
There's the bell! Follow me!
And nothing's gonna stop us 'til we're through!
Honey, everything's coming up roses and daffodils!
Everything's coming up sunshine and Santa Claus!
Everything's gonna be bright lights and lollipops!
Everything's coming up roses for me and for you!

:lookaroun
Haven't we met
You're some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I have a taste for danger
If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Heaven forbid
I take my chance on a beautiful stranger

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song
To know you is to love you

You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
To love you is to be part of you
I pay for you with tears
And swallow all my pride

Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger

If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Haven't you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger

I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I'd like to change your point-of-view
If I could just forget about you
To know you is to love you

You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song to you
To know you is to love you

You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows
I pay for you with tears
And swallow all my pride

Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger
Dah-dah-dah-de dah-de-dah-de dah dah dah-dah-dum
Beautiful stranger

 

[DDuckFan130]

What ever you want
Whatever you need
Anything you want done baby
I'll do it naturally
Cause I'm every woman
It's all in me
It's all in me

Chorus 1:
I'm every woman
It's all in me
Anything you want done baby
I do it naturally

Chorus 2:
I'm every woman
It's all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from A to Z

I can cast a spell
Of secrets you can tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
Anytime you feel danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, yeah, cause

Chorus 1

Oh, I can sense your needs
Like rain onto the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when it comes down to some good old fashioned love
I got it
I got it
I got it, got it, got it, baby, baby, baby

Chorus 1
Chorus 2

I ain't braggin'
Cause I'm the one
Just ask me
Ooh, and it shall be done
And don't bother
To compare
I got it

I'm every woman (repeat til fade)

I'm every woman (repeat til fade)

 

[DDuckFan130]

No, oh No.... Yeah, Yeah ... oh..
You look in my eyes and I get emotional inside
I know it’s crazy, but you still can touch my heart
And after all this time you think that I wouldn’t feel the same
But time melts to nothing and nothing has changed

I still believe
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again

I had a dream
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again

Each day of my life, I’m filled with all the joy I could find
You know that I,I am not the desperate type
If there’s one spark of hope left in my grasp I’ll hold it with both
hands
It’s worth the risk of burning to have a second chance

No, no, no, no, no, no, I need you, baby
I still believe that we can be together, no…
If we believe that true love never has to end
Then we must know that we will love again, Mmm..

I still believe
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again (Oh, baby, yeah)

I had a dream
You and me
Will find ourselves
In love again

I still believe (Ooh, baby, I do)
Someday you and me (Just give me one more try)
In love again

I had a dream (I miss your love)
Someday you and me
Will find ourselves
In love again

I still believe (Yeah, I still believe)
Someday you and me (Baby, yeah)

bali hai

original lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
original music by Richard Rodgers
South Pacific (1949)


most people live on a lonely island
lost in the middle of a foggy sea
most people long for another island
one where they know they would like to be

bali ha'i
may call you
any night
any day
in your heart
you'll hear it call you:
"come away,
come away."

bali ha'i
will whisper
on the wind
of the sea
"here am i,
your special island!
come to me,
come to me."

your own special hopes
your own special dreams
bloom on the hillside
and shine in the streams

if you try
you'll find me
where the sky
meets the sea
"here am i,
your special island!
come to me,
come to me!"

bali ha'i
bali ha'i
bali ha'i

"someday you'll see me
floating in the sunshine
my head sticking out
from a low-flying cloud
you'll hear me call you
singing through the sunshine
sweet and clear as can be
come to me
here am i
come to me!"

bali ha'i
will whisper
on the wind
of the sea
"here am i,
your special island!
come to me,
come to me."

bali ha'i
bali ha'i
bali ha'i

 

[GenerationX]

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going no where
Going no where
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles its a very very
Mad world
Mad world
Enlarge your world
Mad world

original lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
original music by Richard Rodgers
South Pacific (1949)

I love South Pacific!

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
And send him on his way

I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms
I'm gonna wave that man right outa my arms
And send him on his way

Don't try to patch it up, tear it up, tear it up
Wash him out, dry him out, push him out, fly him out
Cancel him, and let him go, Yea, sister

I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
I'm gonna wash that man right outa my hair
And send him on his way

If a man don't understand you,
If you fly on separate beams
Waste no time, make a change,
Ride that man right off your range

Drop him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams
Oho! If you laugh that different comics
If you root for different teams

Waste no time, weep no more,
Show him what the door is for
Drop him out of the road hall
And run him out of your dreams

You can't light a fire when the wood's all wet
You can't make a butterfly strong
You can't fix an egg when it ain't quite good
And you can't fix a man when he's wrong

You can't put back a petal
When it falls from a flower
Or sweeten up a fellow
When he starts turning sour

If his eyes have drawn and shifted
When you look for glance and glimpse
Waste no time, make a switch,
Drop him in the nearest ditch

Drop him out of the roll call
And drum him out of your dreams

I'm went and wash that man right outa my hair
I'm went and wash that man right outa my hair
I'm went and wash that man right outa my hair
And send him on his way

I'm went and wash that man right outa my hair
I'm went and wash that man right outa my hair
I'm went and wash that man right outa my hair
And send him on his way

 

[speck76]

Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldn’t 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 gatherin’ up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

You been tellin’ 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 at the college
Didn’t turn 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 gatherin’ up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made in 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 gatherin’ up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

 

[speck76]

Times are hard
You’re afraid to pay the fee
So you find yourself somebody
Who can do the job for free
When you need a bit of lovin’
Cause your man is out of town
That’s the time you get me runnin’
And you know I’ll be around

I’m a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don’t wanna do your dirty work
No more
I’m a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah

Light the candle
Put the lock upon the door
You have sent the maid home early
Like a thousand times before
Like the castle in it’s corner
In a medieval game
I foresee terrible trouble
And I stay here just the same


I’m a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
I don’t wanna do your dirty work
No more
I’m a fool to do your dirty work
Oh yeah
