"Status Quo"

"Status Quo"



Are you ready to hear your lesson for the day?
-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Are you ready to learn what History has to say?
-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!
Then take your books and follow me to 1776 AD
And as the History page is turned we will see what we can learn
-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!

In 1776 Tom Paine was writing books with a might and main
The Tory said "now man alive"
Stop giving out with this here liberty jive
-Stop giving out with this here liberty jive

Don't sing of people's rights that way
They might believe in what you say
So stop your song it's not polite
Pipe down before you start a fight

-You don't say, Teacher, is that right?

Aha, but Tom Paine looked ahead
And to those Tories Thomas said no, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying Whoa
And sitting on your status quo

-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!

To Washington at Valley Forge
A wise guy whispered slow down, George
Why start up trouble for the king
This freedom racket is a corny thing

-This freedom racket is a corny thing

Your troops are ickys they can't move
You'll never get them in the groove
So if you're wise, you'll just lay low
and play with the guys that have the dough

-You don't say Teacher, is that so?

Aha, but George just looked ahead
And to that Tory Georgie said...No...no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status quo

-Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher!

Now Paul Revere saw a bellfry light
and that boy rode to town one night
Sang to the farmers near and far
Here come the British beating eight to the bar

One slippery tory said now Paul
You're manners aren't nice at all
Turn back, don't be an old hep cat
The right people don't sing like that

-ButPaul Revere turn him down flat
Aha, that's right, he rode ahead
and to that Tory Paul just said, no, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status quo

Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher! Yes, Teacher
So, students now you're hep, don't stop!
Keep stepping to that freedom hop
Although the tory's beef and blow
To keep you sitting on your status quo

-To keep you sitting on your status quo

When they say let's stand still a bit
Give up some rights, no harm in it
Remember those are just the tricks
That did not work in 76

-Now ain't that right, the same old tricks?

Though Torys talk: don't be misled
And do what all those others said

No, no, no, no
When you got to go, you got to go
You can't stand still on freedom's track
If you don't go forward, you go back
You can't giddyup by saying whoa
And sitting on your status ...
Sitting on, yes, sittin' on your, status...

quo!

Oh!

"Stay Away"

"Stay Away"




Stay away leave me alone
Stay away from my door
'Cause you'll hurt me again like you hurt me before
Don't want no excuses
I don't want no more lies
I don't like crying
So I keep it inside
Do me a favor, for God's sake,
Please, stay away, stay away!
Stay away out of my dreams
Stay away from my nights
You're there in the darkness
So I need no other lights
I don't want no whisky
'Cause it brings back the pain
Makes me call you at midnight
And beg you to come back again
Do me a favor, for God's sake,
Please, stay away, stay away!
'Cause time is just too short
To waste it on regrets
They say it heals a broken heart
That's waiting to forget
Oh, stay away, leave me alone!
Stay away from my door,
'Cause you'll hurt me again
Like you hurt me before
But if you should need me
Don't think it's all right
Don't think you can call me up
In the middle of some lonely night
'Cause if I see you
I' m afraid I might say
Don't stay away
So, stay away!

"Stoney End"

"Stoney End"



I was born from love
And my poor mother worked the mines
I was raised on the Good Book Jesus
Till I read between the lines
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again
I can still remember him
With love light in his eyes
But the light flickered out and parted
As the sun began to rise
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
(Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
Mama, cradle me again...)
Never mind the forecast
'Cause the sky has lost control
'Cause the fury and the broken thunders
Come to match my raging soul
Now I don't believe
I want to see the morning
Going down the stoney end
I never wanted to go
Down the stoney end
Mama let me start all over
Cradle me, mama, cradle me again
Going down the stoney end...

"Stout-Hearted Men"

"Stout-Hearted Men"



You have dreams, if you act
They will come true
To turn your dreams to a fact,
It' s up to you!
If you have the soul and the spirit
Never fear it, you'll see it through
Hearts can inspire other hearts, with their fire
For the strong obey
When a strong man shows them the way
Give me some men
Who are stout-hearted men
Who will fight for the right they adore
Start me with ten,
Who are stout-hearted men
And I'll soon give you ten thousand more

Shoulder to shoulder
And bolder and bolder
They grow as they go to the fore!

Then there's nothing in the world
Can halt or mar a plan
When stout-hearted men
Can stick together man to man
When stout-hearted men
Can stick together man to man...

"Stranger In A Strange Land"

"Stranger In A Strange Land"



You may be someone else's sweetheart
Fighting someone else's war
And if you suffer for the millions
Then it's what you're fighting for

Someone believe in only light of day
Someone strong enough to show the way
Someone everyone believes in
Someone who will stand by you

And I will be your heart and mind
My love is on the line
I know is how I'm gonna stay
For a stranger in a strange land
Far away
And love will make your spirit shine
I feel your hand in mine
I write a letter every single day
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away

May we share the most tomorrows
I will hear you when you cry
Should we let it come between us
Never knowing how we live or die
I will walk you though the pouring rain
I will help you learn to live and love again
Give 'em hell before you go to heaven
By send you home again

And I will be your heart and mind
My love is on the line
I know it's how I'm gonna stay
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away

And somewhere in the lonely night
Your flame is burning bright
I know it's how I'm gonna stay
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away

And just to see your spirit shine
To feel your hand in mine
I write a letter every single day
To a stranger in a strange land
Far away
Ooh...

Far away
Oh...Far away...
Ooh...

"Summer Me, Winter Me"

"Summer Me, Winter Me"



Summer me, winter me
And with your kisses morning me, evening me
And as the world sleeps far away, star away
Forever me with love
Wonder me, wander me
Then by a fire pleasure me, peaceful me
And in the silence quietly, whisper me
Forever me with love, forever me with love
And every day I'll gentle you, tender you
And oh, the way I'll velvet you, clover you
I'll wrap you up and ribbon you, rainbow you
And shower you with shine
Suddenly, magically
We found each other there we are, here we are
I plan to let you happy me, summer me, winter me
Always be mine
'Cause suddenly, magically
We found each other there we are, here we are
I plan to let you happy me, summer me, winter me
Always be mine

"Superman"

"Superman"



Baby I can fly like a bird
When you touch me with your eyes
Flying through the sky
I've never felt the same
But I am not a bird and I am not a plane
I'm superman
When you love me it's easy
I can do almost anything
Watch me turn around, one wing up and one wing down
I never thought I could fall in love for good
I'm superman
When you love me it's easy
My sweet life has just begun
I'm in love this time
And I know I have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There's nothing I can do
When I'm with you
I'm superman
Cause I'm with you
It's easy
My sweet life has just begun
I'm in love this time
And I know I have it
Fell into my life so I grabbed it
There's nothing I can do
Cause I'm with you
I'm superman

"Supper Time"

"Supper Time"



Supper time
I should set the table
'Cause it's supper time
Somehow I'm not able
'Cause that man of mine
Ain't coming home no more
Oh, supper time
Kids will soon be yelling
For this supper time
While I keep from telling
That that man of mine
Ain't coming home no more
While I keep explaining
When they ask me where he's gone
While I keep from crying
When I bring the supper on
How can I remind them
To pray at their humble board
How can I be thankful
When they start to thank the Lord,
Oh, Lord!
Supper time,
I should set the table
'Cause it's supper time
Somehow I'm not able
'Cause that man of mine
Ain't coming home no more
Ain't coming home no more...

"Sweet Zoo"

"Sweet Zoo"



I dreamed last night that I was a tiger in the jungle
But I was a big bad tiger, for a lion killed me
And then I was an elephant, a great big elephant
There wasn't anything I couldn't do
Till they caught and they brought me to a zoo
So I dreamed I was an alligator
-Crocodile?
-No, alligator!
With a great big mouth
And four very funny little legs
Which are no good for dancing
So, then I was a dancing bear
And I was doing my dancing where the bears dance
But I was sneezing,
'Cause I was a dancing polar bear
And it was freezing
Then I dreamed I was a giraffe
I looked so ridiculous I wanted to laugh
But giraffes can't talk,
So how can they laugh?
Then I woke up
And I was not a tiger,
Or and elephant,
I was not an alligator.
-Crocodile?
-No, alligator!
I was not a dancing bear or a tall giraffe
I was only me...And that's the way I'll be!
Oh, that's the way I'll be
I enjoy being an oyster!

"Taking A Chance On Love"

"Taking A Chance On Love"



Here I go again
I hear those trumpets blow again
All aglow again
Taking a chance on love
Here I come again
I'm gonna make things hum again
Acting dumb again
Taking a chance on love
I walk around with a horseshoe
In clover I lie
And brother rabbit of course you
Better kiss your feet good-bye
On that ball again
I'm riding for a fall again
I'm gonna give my all again
Taking a chance on love
