"Brand New House"

"Brand New House"


I wanna brand new house with an old brown jug
And an old spinnin' wheel on an old hook rug
For my brand new house and my brand new bride
With lotsa lovin' locked inside

I'm gonna bolt all the windows and lock up the door
I'm gonna love ya, baby, like never before
In my brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin' locked inside

I wanna grandfather clock and an easy chair
With a mother Hubbard cupboard that'll never be bare
My brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin' locked inside

I'm gonna draw all the curtains and pull all the drapes
To make sure none of our lovin' escapes
From a brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin' locked inside

And when the landlord comes to call
There won't be no one here at all
And when I hear the ringin' of the phone
I'll pick it up and say, 'We ain't home'

Don't wanna fancy car, don't need no furs
Just wanna a pair of towels marked his and hers
For my brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin' locked inside

I don't know where I'm goin', don't know where I've been
I don't wanna a house with the world creepin' in
To my brand new house with my brand new bride
And lotsa lovin' locked inside

Lotsa lovin' locked inside so much lovin' child
Lotsa lovin' locked inside
One more time
Lotsa lovin' locked inside

"Bullfrog"

"Bullfrog"


I was sittin' by the bank on a hollow stump
When I thought I heard me a bullfrog jump
Turned around and sure enough there he sat
He said excuse me, buddy, but I've been readin' your news
And I'm sorry to say that I'm a little confused
You bein' human, well you'd know where it's at.

He said I read where this old world's gonna fold
And all on account of a think called gold
And that's somethin' hard for us frogs to understand
Now you're lookin' at me like I'm kinda funny
But where I live we don't have no money
So we want to be hip to the happ'nin's here on land.

Now I thought I was stoned so I started walkin'
I mean whoever heard of a bullfrog talkin'
But then I realized I hadn't been grazin' in no grain
So I figured I'd tell him just what I thought
'bout how gold was sold and how gold was bought
And he'd understand our world when I explained.

I said it all started a long time ago
When the people first learned to reap and sow
They got all the things they needed right out of the earth
Like how many leaves and how many trees
Would it take to cover up the anatomies
And that's how you figured how much a suit of clothes was worth.

Well then man he learned how to milk a cow
And how to till the soil with a stone blade plow
And he kept so busy he never had time to do you harm
Then he'd take his produce and all that milk
And go into town and trade them for silk
So his woman she'd look sharp down at the farm.

Well the bullfrog let out a belly croak
Like I'd told him some kind of a joke
And he said I think you're jivin' me my man
(what me?)
I said I know it sounds kinda mystifyin'
But the truth of the matter is I ain't lyin'
I mean I ain't talkin' no bullfrog, you understand?

He said now don't get upset I'm not agin' you
You just go ahead, go ahead and continue
And I'll be quiet and try to understand
He said I know about trees and leaves and plants
And milk and silk and the farmer's romance
But what's this thing the call supply and demand?

I said well I grow cotton and you grow corn
And you find your dungarees are all worn
And me well I got to have somethin' to eat
You see? So I make you some brand new threads
And now you bake me some fresh corn bread
Pretty soon we'll have shops across the street.

Well this didn't work, or so we've been told
And at that time they didn't know about gold
So they all agreed they'd measure their goods in salt
Well that idea had an early endin'
'cause they were eatin' more than they were spendin'
And besides, whoever heard of keepin' salt in a vault.

Well folks said gold was the thing to use
To pay for stuff like from ships to shoes
But it weighed too much and it looked too good to spend
So round about sixteen hundred and ninety
Somebody started usin' foldin' money
And that's the tale, my friend, from end to end.

Well I thought it was a damn good explanation
I mean a real attempt at communication
And I only had me schoolin' up until the time I was ten
But the bullfrog right before he hopped away
Well I could have sworn I heard him say
Your world is still in the tadpole stage, my friend.

"Bullmoose"

"Bullmoose"


Did you hear the story 'bout old Bullmoose?
He played piano, really tore it loose.
Whenever his heart was filled with gloom
He'd beat out a song in the old lunchroom.
All the guys and gals would gather 'round
Just to hear that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin'...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!

Bullmoose playin' on a Friday night
Two bad boys got up to fight.
One old man yelled, "Hey, keep quiet!"
The next thing you know they started a riot.
While everybody was-a jumpin' around
All you could hear was that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin'...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose, a-turn 'em loose!

Bullmoose goin' to a party one day
Everybody asked him, "Won't you sit down and play?"
When all of a sudden the room began to shake
"Whoops!" he cried, "It's a real earthquake."
While the people were fallin' into holes in the ground
All you could hear was that Bullmoose sound.
Sayin'...
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose!
Go Bullmoose, come on Bullmoose!
Let me hear it like it is, Bullmo...

"Call Me Irresponsible"

"Call Me Irresponsible"


Call me irresponsible
Call me unreliable
Throw in undependable too

Do my foolish alibies
Bother you
Well I'm not too clever
I just adore you

Call me unpredictable
Tell me I'm inpractical
Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue

Call me irresponsible
Yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true
That I'm irresponsibly mad for you

Go on and call me unpredictable
Tell me that I'm impractical
Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue

You go ahead call irresponsible
I admit I'm unreliable
But it is undeniably true

That I'm irresponsibly mad for you

"Can't Get Used To Losing You"

"Can't Get Used To Losing You"


Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say, "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough loving you

Called up some girl I used to know
After I heard her say, "Hello"
Couldn't think of anything to say
Since you're gone it happens every day

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough loving you

I'll find somebody, wait and see
Who am I kiddin', only me
'Cause no one else could take your place
Guess that I am just a helpless case

Can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough loving you
I can't get used to losin' you no matter what I try to do
Gonna live my whole life thorough loving you

"Caravan"

"Caravan"


Night and stars above
That shine so bright
The mystery of their fading light
That shines upon our caravan

Sleep upon my shoulder
As we creep
Across the sand so I may keep
This memory of our caravan

This is so exciting
You, you're so inviting
Resting in my arms
As I thrill to the magic charms

Of you beside me here
Beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan

This is so exciting
You, you're so, so, so inviting
Resting here in my arms
As I thrill, thrill to the magic charms

Of you beside me here
Beneath the blue
My dream of love is coming true
Within our desert caravan

"Change"

"Change"


Whatever you've done it's all over
Wherever you've been is so strange
Yesterday's long gone forever
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.

Music that used to seem hollow
Now seems to fit in your range
Today is the now and the never
Damned if what you're feelin' isn't change.

It's fun to wander along a yesterday road
trying so hard to retain
All of the wondrous and beautiful times that
never can happen again.

So get yourself up off your past, friend
There's so much to rearrange
Tomorrow sits right next to never
Damned if what your feelin' isn't change.

"Charade"

"Charade"


When we played our charade
We were like children posing
Playing at games, acting out names
Guessing the parts we played

Oh what a hit we made
We came on next to closing
Best on the bill, lovers until
Love left the masquerade

Fate seemed to pull the strings
I turned and you were gone
While from the darkened wings
The music box played on

Sad little serenade
Song of my heart's composing
I hear it still, I always will
Best on the bill
Charade

"Clementine"

"Clementine"


In a cavern down by a canyon
Excavatin' for a mine
There lived a miner from North Carolina
And his daughter, chubby Clementine

Now every mornin', just about dawnin'
A'when the sun begins to shine
You know she would rouse up, wake all a dem cows up
And walk 'em down to her Daddy's mine

A'took the foot bridge, way 'cross the water
Though she weighed two-ninety nine
The old bridge trembled and disassembled
(Oops!) dumped her into the foamy brine

Hey, crackle like thunder, (ho, ho) she went under
(ho, ho) blowin bubbles (bubble sound) down the line
Hey, I'm no swimm'a but were she slimm'a
I might'a saved that Clementine

(Ho) broke the record, way under water
I thought that she was doin' fine
I wasn't nervous ya until the service
That they held for Clementine

Hey you sailor (ho, ho) way out in your whaler
With a harpoon, your trusty line
If she shows now, yo, there she blows now
It just may be chunky Clementine

(One more time)
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' , oh my darlin' sweet Clementine
You may be gone

But!
You're not forgotten
Fare thee well
So long, Clementine
(Bubble sound) Bye!

"Daydream"

"Daydream"


What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mown lawn

I've been having a sweet dream
I been dreaming since I woke up today
It's starring me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way

And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad

And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom made for a daydreaming boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreaming 'bout my bundle of joy
