"Street Life"

"Street Life"


I play the street life
Because there's no place I can go
Street life
And it's the only life I know
Street life
And there's a thoundand parts to play
Street life
Until you play your life away
You let the people see
Just who you want to be
And every night you shine just like a super star
That's how the life is played
A ten cent Masquerade
You dress, and walk, and talk you're who you think you are
Street life
You can run away from time
Street life
For a nickel and a dime
Street life
But you better not get old
Street life
Or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale
A grown-up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way beneath the silver moon

"Summer In The City"
(originally by The Lovin' Spoonful)



Hot town summer in the city
Back of my kneck gettin' dirty and gritty
I been down isn't it a pity
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around people lookin' half dead
Walkin' down the sidewalk out of their match head
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find the girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be allright
And baby don't you know that you forget it
The day can be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
Cool town evening in the city
Dressed so fine and look so pretty
Cool cat lookin' for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till i reason like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the roof top
But night is a different world
Go out and find the girl
Come on come on let's dance all the night
Despite the heat it will be all right
And baby don't you know that you forget it
The day can be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
But at night it's a different world
Go out and find the girl
Come on and dance all night
Despite the heat it will be allright
And baby don't you know that you forget it
The day can be like the night
In the summer in the city
In the summer in the city
Summer in the city
Hot town summer in the city then again a cool town
Evening in the city
Than the back of my kneck gettin' dirty and gritty
Livin' in the city
In the summer town day
A cool town
A cool girl
Have fun
Evening in the city

"Sundown"

"Sundown"


Long about sundown, I've gotta be on my way
Sad long about sundown, I've gotta be on my way
Goin' back to my woman and this time I'm gonna stay
Yes, I've been gone for a long time
Wonder if I'm welcome home
Wonder if I'm welcome home
Been gone for a long time
So many things can happen
When a man leaves his baby all alone
Yes, it took a long time, baby
When I knock on the door
To realise what a fool I've been
Well, I said it took a long, long time, baby
To realise what a fool I've been
I wonder will she let me in

"Sure Had A Wonderful Time Last Night"

"Sure Had A Wonderful Time Last Night"


I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me I did
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Really blew my lid
Went to a party, I recollect that much
But after four or five, you know I lost my touch
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me I did
I had a whale of good time last night
Really got myself some kicks
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Took me right back to the sticks
Between that hillbilly band and old Uncle Zeke
And that new atomic beverage that they called "Sneaky Pete"
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me I did
Sure had a wonderful time last night
Don't know how I got to bed
Sure had a wonderful time last night
Come here, feel this lump on my head
They say I got kinda noisy
And started to shout
Four big bouncers grabbed me
But I threw them out
I sure had a wonderful time last night
Least wise they tell me I did
Sure had a wonderful time last night
Really had myself some fun
Sure had a wonderful time last night
Didn't get home until about half past one
You know I'd like to take you with me the next time I go
But where the heck was it?
Sure would like to know
But I sure had a wonderful time last night

"Sweet Little Angel"

"Sweet Little Angel"


I've got a sweet little angel
I love the way she spread her wings
Yes got a sweet little angel
I love the way she spread her wings
Yes, when she spreads her wings around me
I get joy, and everything

You know I asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a $20 bill
Oh yes, I asked my baby for a nickel
And she gave me a $20 bill
Whoah, you know I ask her to buy a little drink of liquor
And she gave me a whiskey still

Oh, if my baby should quit me
I believe I would die
Oh if my baby should quit me
Lord I do believe I would die
Yes if you don't love me little angel
Please tell me the reason why
