"Make My Day"

"Make My Day"


I've never known a girl lovelier than you
If I did I would be lying and that I Wouldn't do
Come on have fun make my day tonight

Nothing really matters when you are in love
It's the only institution I'm not weary of
Don't be lonely make my day tonight

I know it, isn't easy to find romance
Know it can indeed, seem like you've no chance
When the land beneath you feels like no man's
Don't give up just persevere
Nothing in this world is ever certain
When your only love goes for a burton
Don't be too despondent just think positively

I've never known a girl lovelier than you
If I did I would be lying and that I wouldn't do
Come on have fun make my day
Don't be lonely make my day
I'm sure that you'll make my day tonight

I know it isn't easy to find romance
Know it can indeed seem like you're no chance
When the land beneath you feels like no mans
Don't give up just preserve
Nothing in this world is ever certain
When you're only love goes for a burton
Don't be too despondent there's more fish in the sea

I've never known a girl lovelier than you
If I did I would be lying and that I wouldn't do
Come on have fun make my day
Don't be lonely make my day
I'm sure that you'll make my day tonight

"Matrimony"

"Matrimony"


I've no wish to hurry you luv
But have you seen the time
It's quarter to ten and we're supposed to be there
At nine
I don't think the registrar
Will be very pleased
When we show up an hour late
Like two frozen peas
Both now facing for the first time
Presently and past
Something that begins with M
And ends in alas
More than not complete disaster
Even form the start
What could it be...
It's Matrimony
I know how you've dreamt about
Being walked down the aisle
But think of the money we'll save
And you'll see it's worthwhile
It won't please our mums and dads
But they don't even know,
Besides if they did what's the betting
They wouldn't even go
You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony
I'm truly grateful for the little things in life
That have made me so glad
Every other hour that I spend with you
Is not in the least bit sad
Quite the opposite in fact
And if you don't believe me
Here's the proof
Ask me if I and I'll say "Aye, I do"

You and me are all that matters
Disregard the rest
Trust your soon to be old man
He knows what is best
Very shortly now there's going to be
An answer from you
Then one from me
That's matrimony
Marriage-the joining together of the two people
For better or for worse Till death them do part
Ole!

"Me"

"Me"


(Randy Newman Karl Marks the spot where Tom Waits before the war)
Oh why do people look at me
As though I were a freak
Oh can't they see that what they're looking at is quite unique
In fact I'd go as far as saying I'm something of a gem
Whose qualities do not expire they simply overwhelm
If I believe the half of what most analysts now claim
Then photos of me must be put into a Zimmer frame
You can't make music at your age
It simply isn't done
Well balls to those who take that View
Especially if they're young
Me I believe a child that misbehaves
And answers back
Would benefit for what it did
By being given a smack
(Why do people, why do people, why do people)
I'm happy being middle-aged
Where confidence is full
When growing up my sister's doll
Was all that I could pull
Your eyes are blue
Your eyes are green
What difference does it make?
As long as you've no more than two
And only one's a fake
(Why do people)
I've never felt the urge to burn the candle at both ends
The logic of it does indeed make very little sense
Imagine trying to place it somewhere
After it's been lit
With flames above it and below
There's nowhere it would fit
Let alone a candlestick
Let alone a candlestick

"Me (Reprise)"

"Me (Reprise)"


You'd never think to look at
You'd never think to look at
That building there is where there
Used to be trees

You'd never think it,would you?
You'd never think it,would you?
That building there is where there
Used to be trees

That building there is where there
That building there is where there
That building there is where there
Used to be fields

You'd never think to look at
You'd never think to look at
That building there is where there
Used to be trees
Used to be trees

"Miss My Love Today"

"Miss My Love Today"


Miss my love today
As I miss the stars that shine above
Telling me one day my love
Will come to me again

Miss my love I'd say
Is the only thing that I can do
I just can't live with someone new
Reminding me of her

She said before she left
That she would return to me
Although it may take quite a
While I know
That she'll come back
And once again the time
To fall in love will still be mine
Till then I'll wait in morbid company

Miss my love I do
Just as one would miss both day
And night
Waiting here alone is not right
But what else can I do?

"Mr. And Mrs. Regard"

"Mr. And Mrs. Regard"


Congratulations everyone and two and three and four
You've really made my day for me
So here's what I've in store
An ounce of tea that will if we
Stir well turn into glue,
Should Mr. and Mrs. Regards
Send theirs with love to you.

Now Jonathan's a king you see
But then to some he's not
For in between his two front teeth
Is something I forgot
To tell you bout thirteen is out
As both boys disagree,
With Mr. and Mrs. Regards
Who send their best to me

I've been impatient far too long
So here's my plan
It begins with G and ends with my
Your room looks grand

Still that's alright
I'll not stay bright
In fact I'm likely to
Send Mr. and Mrs. Regards
My best with love from you.

"Mr. Moody's Garden"

"Mr. Moody's Garden"


Every day's a holiday in Mr. Moody's Garden
Where little girls say pardon and how do
You do my name is Nosey
And this is me sister really (really)
Good she is at saying to you too

Now just across the lawn is Pat
Sitting on his favorite hat
Waiting for the barber to arrive
And if he doesn't come today
Pat will shout (hip-hip-hooray)
Ain't it grand to be alive

When every day's a holiday in Mr. Moody's Garden
Where little girls say pardon and how do
You do my name is Nosey
And this is me sister really (really)
Good she is at saying to you too

Now lying on the garden fence
Is a man (at great expense)
History tells us will outgrow his youth
But only until such a time
He finds out why he's been lying
And then of course he'll tell the truth

Cos every day's a holiday in Mr. Moody's Garden
Where little girls say pardon and how do - ya do

Now down among the partridge trees
Lives a man who loves his knees
So much so he's framed them in a jar
And if by chance one should escape
And to put on must in it's place
With half a pound of shredded tar

Cos every day's a holiday in Mr.Moody's Garden
Where little girls say pardon
And Bill and Ben found stardom
While playing John Wesley Harden
Who looked just like Billy Cardon's
Answer to choo-choo

"My Advice To You"

"My Advice To You"


Why do you hurt her
When she's in love with you
Please don't desert her
Is all I ask of you
You know it's wrong
You knew along
Do what I say and you can't go wrong
My-advice to you Is stay
Baby my advice to you is stay

Wait till tomorrow
And see what lies is store
If I've played my cards right
It'll be like it was before
When she loved you and you the same
I know she'll be glad to have you back again
My advice to you is stay
Baby my advice to you is stay

Can't help but thinking
That you're gonna see the light
And she'll be the one girl
To stand by you when things ain't right
So listen to me and keep your head up high
I promise you this
I'm telling you it's no lie
My advice to you Is stay
Baby my advice to you is stay

"My Father"

"My Father"


I shudder to think what my father would think
If he came home and found me in bed
With more then just one
But several of some
Lovely big strawberries

He'll probably shout
Give me a hell of a clout
Or perhaps a good kick up the rear
But one thing's for sure
I'll have to endure
A great deal of pain so to speak

I know it's not right
But for a laugh every night
I knock on people's doors
And shout things like up yours

I'll never know why
But for some reason I
Never did well at school
All I did was break rules and tell lies

His birthday's next week
So I though as a treat
I would buy him his favourite book
It's not one of those poetic prose
Just full frontal nudity

"My Front Door Is"

"My Front Door Is"


I'm doing something I don't understand
What I am doing, although I have planned
out everything yesterday morning
I saw you walk by my front door is blue
How about you

Coming around to see me in the spring
Mattress on my bed, there's one sheet missing
Since last July, I don't know why
I let you walk right pass.
My front door is green, have you seen

Anybody with a name
Should know how to spell
it unless he is insane
And I'm very well

Thank-you I do know how to knot my tie
Is covered completely with letters I
Owe to you I promise to pay you back should you
Pass my front door ready at last
