"Clap Yo' Hands"

"Clap Yo' Hands"

[POTTER:]
Come on, you children, gather around -
Gather around, you children.
And we will lose that evil spirit
Called the voodoo.
Nothin' but trouble, if he has found,

If he has found you, children -
But you can chase the hoodoo
With the dance that you do.
Let me lead the way.
Jubilee today!
He'll never hound you;
Stamp on the ground, you children!
Come on!

[Refrain]

Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Halleluyah! Halleluyah!
Ev'rybody come along and join the Jubilee!
Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Don t you lose time! Don't you lose time!
Come along-it's shake yo' shoes time
Now for you and me!
On the sands of time
You are only a pebble;
Remember, trouble must be treated
Just like a rebel;
Send him to the Debble!
Clap-a yo' hand! Slap-a yo' thigh!
Halleluyah! Halleluyah!
Everybody come along and join the Jubilee!

"Come Rain Or Come Shine"

"Come Rain Or Come Shine"

I'm gonna love you, like nobody's loved you
Come rain or come shine
High as a mountain, deep as a river
Come rain or come shine
I guess when you met me
It was just one of those things
But don't you ever bet me
'Cause I'm gonna be true if you let me
You're gonna love me, like nobody's loved me
Come rain or come shine
We'll be happy together, unhappy together
Now won't that be just fine
The days may be cloudy or sunny
We're in or out of the money
But I'm with you always
I'm with you rain or shine

"Comes Love"

"Comes Love"

Comes a rainstorm, put your rubbers on your feet
Comes a snowstorm, you can get a little heat
Comes love, nothing can be done.

Comes a fire, then you know just what to do
Blow a tire, you can buy another shoe
Comes love, nothing can be done

Don't try hiding, cause there isn't any use
You'll start sliding, when your heart turns on the juice

Comes a headache, you can lose it in a day
Comes a toothache, see your dentist right away
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes a heatwave, you can hurry to the shore
Comes a summons, you can hide behind the door
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes the measles, you can quarantine a room
Comes a mousey, you can chase it with a broom
Comes love, nothing can be done

That's all, brother, if you ever been in love
That's all, brother, you know what I'm speaking of

Comes a nightmare, you can always stay awake
Comes depression, you may get another break
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes love, nothing can be done
Comes love, nothing can be done

Comes love,
Comes love,
Comes love,
Comes love,
[fade]

"Cow Cow Boogie"

"Cow Cow Boogie"

Out on the plains down near Santa Fe
I met a cowboy ridin' the range one day
And as he jogged along I heard him singin'
A most peculiar cowboy song
It was a ditty, he learned in the city
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

Now get along, get hip little DOGIES
Get along, better be on your way
Get along, get hip little DOGIES
AND He trucked 'em on down that old fairway
Singin' his Cow Cow Boogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

[Chorus]

Singin' his cowboy songs
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a HARLEM touch
He was raised on LOCO WEED
He's what you call a swing half breed
Singin' his Cow Cow Booogie in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah

[Chorus]

Singin' his cowboy songs
He's just too much
He's got a knocked out western accent with a HARLEM
touch
THAT CAT was raised on LOCO WEED
JACK, He's what you call a swing half breed
Singin' his Cow Cow BOOGIE in the strangest way
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah
Comma ti yi yi yeah
Comma ti yippity yi yeah
GIT, GIT, GIT ALONG LITTLE DOGIES, YOU BETTER BE ON YOUR WAY

"Cry Me A River"

"Cry Me A River"

Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you

You drove me, nearly drove me, out of my head
While you never shed a tear?
Remember, I remember, all that you said?
You told me love was too plebian
Told me you were through with me and

Now you say you love me
and just to prove you do
Come on and cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you
I cried a river...over you...

"Dancing On The Ceiling"

"Dancing On The Ceiling"

The world is lyrical
Because a miracle
Has brought my lover to me
Though she's some other place, her face I see
At night I creep in bed
And never sleep in bed
But look above in the air
And to my greatest joy, my love is there
She dances overhead
On the ceiling near my bed
In my sight
All through the night

I try to hide in vain
Underneath my counterpane
But there's my love
Up there above
I whisper, "go away, my lover
It's not fair"
But I'm so grateful to discover
That she's still there
I love my ceiling more
Since it is a dancing floor
Just for my love

"Day Dream"

"Day Dream"

Daydream, why do you haunt me so
Deep in a rosy glow
The face of my love you show

Daydream, I walk along on air
Building a castle there
For me and my love to share

Don't know the time, lordy
I'm in a daze
Sun in the sky, while I moon around, feeling, hazy

Daydream, don't break my reverie
Until I find that he,
Is daydreaming just like me

Daydreams, why do you haunt me so
While I'm in this rosy glow
Bring back my love
Bring back my love
Bring back my love
To me

"Day In - Day Out"

"Day In - Day Out"

Day in - day out

That same old voodoo follows me about
That same old pounding in my heart, whenever I think of you
And baby I think of you

Day in and day out
Day out - day in

I needn't tell you how my days begin
When I awake I get up with a tingle
One possibility in view
That possibility of maybe seeing you
Come rain - come shine
I meet you and to me the day is fine
Then I kiss your lips, and the pounding becomes
An oceans roar, a thousand drums
Can't you see it's love, can there be any doubt
When there it is, day in - day out

"Dedicated To You"

"Dedicated To You"

If I should write a book for you
That brought me fame and fortune too
That book would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you

And if I should paint a picture too
That showed the loveliness of you
My art would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you

To you because your love is
The beacon that lights up my way
To you because with you I know
One lifetime could be just one heavenly place

If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wondrous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you

To you because your love is
A beacon that lights up my way
To you because with you I know
One lifetime could be just one heavenly place

If I should find a twinkling star
One half so wondrous as you are
That star would be like my heart and me
Dedicated to you
