"As I Wander Lonely"

"As I Wander Lonely"



Clear air and sparkling city
Crisp cloud lines crystal pretty
Wind sweeps the streets and swirl by lovers
Strolling through their own world
Basking in each others glow
While I wander lonely
I hear the church bells ringing
Mixed choirs of Sunday singing
I wander down the sidewalk
Wondering wondering what will spring be
Whether spring will comfort me
While I wander lonely
Soon I'll find a change
Watching hours pass I walk away the day
Hiding from the room where my memory keeps
Replaying scenes
Of shattered dreams
Cars pass reflective windows
Night falls and still the wind blows
I turn to home and think tomorrow
That's the day I'll meet her
That's the day my love will turn
While I wander lonely.

"As Time Goes By"

"As Time Goes By"



You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply as time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings,
as time goes by
Moonlight and love songs never out of date

Hearts full of passion, jealousy, and hate
Woman needs man, and man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers as time goes by

"At My Front Door"

"At My Front Door"


Long ago, far away--
[Burp] Excuse me.

[Crowd noises]

Crazy little momma come a knockin'
Come a knockin' at my front door door door
Crazy little momma come a knockin'
Come a knockin' at my front door
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before

I woke up this mornin' with a feelin' of despair
Just lookin' for my baby but she wasn't there
Heard someone knockin' and much to my surprise
There stood my baby lookin' in my eyes
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before

Yeah, if you got a little momma and wanna keep her neat
Keep your little momma off my street
Same thing will happen like it did before
She come a knock knock knockin' at my door
Crazy little momma come a knock knock knockin'
Just like she did before

Just like she did before
Just like she did before

[Repeat 2nd verse]

"Bath"

"Bath"



I'm leaving here this morning but I don't know where I've been
I'm going home to take my bath but I'll be back again
Yeah, I'm leaving here this morning with a smile upon my face
I'm beginning to think there's hope for the human race

I'm leaving here this morning but I don't know where I've been
There's a lot of talk about the place but I'll be back again
Yeah, I'm leaving here this morning with my eyes upon wide
And I'm awfully glad you let me come inside
Do, I could do, I could do, I could do,
I could do, I could do, I could do, wa-ha

My eyes are getting heavy and my knees a little weak
My mouth so dry it hurts my throat when I begin to speak
Yeah, but I'm leaving here this morning with a smile upon my face
I'm beginning to think there's hope for the human race

Do, I could do, I could do, I could do,
I could do, I could do, I could do, wa-haaaa

"Black Sails"

"Black Sails"



Black sails in the moonlight
Black patch on your eye
You shiver your timbers, baby
And I'll shiver mine
A treasure map is hidden on your legs
Your veins are very close
Some day I'll wrap my big yardarms around your legs and sail away
I'll bury my heart on some island
And take you there someday to find it
I want you, I need you, I love you
No other man will ever reap your rays

You're so veiny
You prob'ly think this map belongs to you
And I'm so crazy, what can I do?
So raise the anchor up
Hoist the canvas
Sail me to my heart

"Blanket For A Sail"

"Blanket For A Sail"



Way out on the ocean
Far beyond the seven seas
There's a tiny little boat
Faith is keeping her afloat
And a tiny little skipper with his worn and tattered coat

You see the law of the ocean
Says that you shall never fail
Use your heart as a rudder
Faith as a compass
And a blanket for a sail

Sleep for the weary
And dreams for us all
Rest your head on a pillow
And I'll tell you a tale
Use your heart as a blanket
And a blanket for a sail

Row, row, row your boat gently through a dream

Way out on the ocean
Far beyond the seven seas
There's a tiny little boat
Faith is keeping her afloat
And a tiny little skipper with his worn and tattered coat

You see the law of the ocean
Says that you shall never fail
Use your heart as a rudder
Faith as a compass
And a blanket for a sail

"Caroline"

"Caroline"



Caroline, please be mine
You're my kind of girl
Caroline, please be mine
You're my kind of girl

And when in spring time
Daylight surrounds you
There's no one around you but me

Caroline, please be mine
You're my kind of girl

"Cheek To Cheek"

"Cheek To Cheek"


Rose-oh-ose-ah-rita
I laid on your beach
Dreaming and drinking Tequila
I came all the way from Marina Del Rey
On a plane yesterday
Through the gray L A air
[Chorus]
Cheek to cheek to cheek... Chiquita ita
Yo soy amoroso
What could be wrong with the hombre who sings solo?
Barama ree [spanish anyone?]
Giddily for ya [?]
[whistling]
Rosa-
Rita
Forget that border check please
You won't have to sneak
Two or three times a week
And your green card, la ma tarjeta verde, may never be strong
Because you've got my heart on permanent loan
Cheek to cheek to cheek... Chiquita ita do do dah
Yo soy amoroso
What could be wrong with the hombre who sings solo?
Barama ree [?]
Carady for yee [?]
Ayayayaya

"City Life"

"City Life"



Well, I'm down and I'm out
And I've had it to here with the city life
Gonna grab me a plane
That'll take me back home to my folks
Maybe real soon

Just as soon as I get a few dollars ahead
Well, then you'll see
Gonna show up in person
Instead of those letters I never write
How does that sound ma?

You tell Dad I got a deal
That's gonna make me a million tomorrow
Yeah and it's a cinch to come through
If I just hang around for a little while
Just temporarily

City life
Oh, city life
Oh, city life
City life, city life
