"Coconut"

"Coconut"



Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up

She put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor, woke him up
And said, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say, doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
I say, doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I say, doctor, to relieve this bellyache?

Now let me get this straight
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
You put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up
Put the lime in the coconut, you drank them both up

Put the lime in the coconut, you called your doctor, woke him up
And said, Doctor, ain't there nothing I can take
I said, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?
I said, Doctor, ain't there nothin' I can take
I said, Doctor, to relieve this bellyache?

You put the lime in the coconut, you drink 'em both together
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better
Put the lime in the coconut, drink 'em both up
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

Whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-whoo-whoo, whoo-ooh-ooh, whoo-ooh-ooh

If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
If you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do
Well, if you call me in the morning, I'll tell you what to do

"Cowboy"

"Cowboy"



Cold gray buildings where a hill should be
Steel and concrete, closin' in on me
City faces haunt the places, I rode alone
Cowboy, cowboy
Can't run, can't hide
It's too late to fight now, too tired to try.

Wind that once blew free now scatters dust to the sky
Cowboy, cowboy
Can't run, can't hide
It's too late to fight now, too tired to try.

"Cuddly Toy"

"Cuddly Toy"



You're not the only cuddly toy
that was ever enjoyed
by any boy

You're not the only choo choo train
that was left out in the rain
the day after Santa came

You're not the only charity light
that was left in the night
who gave up without a fight, yeah

You're not the only cuddly toy
that was ever enjoyed
by any boy

You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
the kind of company you keep
I never told you that I'd love no other
you must have dreamed it in your sleep, bop bop

You're not the only cuddly toy
that was ever enjoyed
by any boy

You're not the only choo choo train
that was left out in the rain
the day after Santa came

Laa, la, la, laa......

You're not the kind of girl to tell your mother
the kind of company you keep
I never told you that I'd love no other
you must have dreamed it in your sleep, zop zop

You're not the only cuddly toy
that was ever enjoyed
by any boy

You're not the only choo choo train
that was left out in the rain
the day after Santa came

Laa, la, la, laa.....

"Daddy's Song"

"Daddy's Song"



Years ago, I knew a boy
He was his daddy's biggest fan
We used to walk beside the sea
And he told me how life would be
When I grew up to be a man.

And how the mother did explain
Trying to take away the pain
But, he just couldn't understand
That his father was not a man
And it all was just a game.

The years have passed and so have I
Making it hard for me to cry
But if we wanna have a son
Let it all be said and done
Let the sadness pass him by...

"Daybreak"

"Daybreak"



Here comes the daylight
It's makin' me sad
Here comes the sunlight
Makin' me sad
Had a good time last night
Best I ever had
Here come the sunshine
That's makin' me sad
So sad, so sad, so sad, so sad

Here come the daybreak
It's bringin' me pain
It's causin' me heartache
I wish it would rain
Had a good time last night
Just me and my friends
But here come the daylight
And now it's the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Here come the daylight
It's bringin' me down
Causin' me heartache
It's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here come the daylight
It's bringin' me pain
It's causin' me heartache
I wish it would rain
Had a good time last night
Just me and my friends
But here come the daylight
And now it's the end
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no

Here come the daylight
It's bringin' me down
It's causin' me heartache
It's spinnin' my head around, yeah
Here come the daybreak
It's makin' me cough
It's causin' me sunburn
It's pissin' me off
Had a good time last night, yeah
In the moon's glimpse
Now all that'll save me
Is a total eclipse
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...

"Daylight Has Caught Me"

"Daylight Has Caught Me"



Daylight has caught me,
Can't go nowhere
If it wasn't for the daytime
There'd be nothing to fear
If it wasn't for the daylight
They say there wouldn't be no light at all
But if it wasn't for the night life,
I wouldn't be here at all
I wouldn't be here at all
Daylight has caught me
Can't run away
Daylight has caught me
Looks like another day
I'm waitin' for the moonshine,
Come moon shine on me
Looks like daylight has caught me,
Daylight has caught me
Well, I'm a friend of daylight
Daylight's no friends with me
Moonlight's an old friend of mine
Keeps me drinking
Keeps me up all the time
Keeps me down by the river side
Countin' stars, lookin' for some moonshine
Moonshine is all I need
Daylight comes sneakin' up on me
Moonlight is all I want
Daylight is all I can't stand
Daylight has caught me once again
Again, again, again, again
Looks like that daylight's
Caught up with me as fast as it could
Looks like that daylight
Won't let another day go by
Well if I had some darkness 'round me
I could really see
But as it happens,
Daylight has caught up on me
So I say
Damn damn the daylight
It's gone and caught me for another day
Damn damn the daylight
It does it every day
It does it anyway
It wants to
No matter how I fight it
Why, I could put out the candles
At night time
But god's gonna light 'em
In the morning
Daylight's found me once again
Daylight is chasin' me all over the world
I'd like to jump on some airplane
Just to get away from it all
Daylight is after me,
I don't like to see it smile
That's why I pray for night time
And darkness
Just for a while
If I could sleep in the mornin'
And I could play at night
If I could have the evening
I wouldn't need the daylight
Damn, damn the daylight
It's gone and caught me for
Another day
Damn damn the daylight
It does it every day
Let it rain on monday
I'd be happy as a king
But here comes the sun-king
Every morning

"Dayton, Ohio 1903"

"Dayton, Ohio 1903"



Sing a song of long ago when thing were green and movin' slow
And people stopped to say hello and they'd say hi to you
Would you like to come over for tea with the misses and me?
It's a real nice way to spend a day in Dayton, Ohio on a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903.

Sing a song of long ago when things could grow and days flowed quietly
The air was clean and you could see and folks were nice to you
Would you like to come over for tea with the misses and me?
It's a real nice way to spend a day in Dayton, Ohio on a lazy Sunday afternoon in 1903.

"Don't Forget Me"

"Don't Forget Me"



In the winter time, keep your feet warm
But keep your clothes on and don't forget me
Keep your memories
But keep your powder dry, too

In the summer, by the poolside
While the fireflies are all around you
I'll miss you when I'm lonely
I'll miss the alimony, too

Don't forget me, don't forget me
Make it easy only just for a little while
You know I think about you
Let me know you think about me, too

And when we're older and full of cancer
It doesn't matter now, come on get happy
'Cause nothing lasts forever
But I will always love you

Don't forget me, please don't forget me
Make it easy only just for a little while
You know I think about you
Let me know you think about me, too

"Don't Leave Me"

"Don't Leave Me"



The willow weeps
And having wept
Can weep no more
But still it cries for me
It cries in sympathy
It knows that you are gone
Don't leave me baby!

There was a time
When you were mine
An' not so long ago
I used to say
You'd never go away
You'd never leave me lonely
Don't leave me baby!

Think about the happy times
The groovy times
Don't tell me they are gone
I just can't carry on an'
And know that you're not here
You're not near
Anymore

Don't leave me baby
Things are gonna work out fine
Don't leave me baby
Think I'm goin' outta my mind
Don't leave me baby
Don't leave me behind!

(Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!
Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! )
(Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!
Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah! )

The willow weeps
And having wept
Can weep no more
But still it cries for me
It cries in sympathy
It knows that you are gone

It cries for me,
(Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!
Beep, beep, beep, beep, yeah!)
The willow weeps!

Well you gotta have soul to wash your sins away
You gotta have hope it's the price you gotta pay
You gotta give love or your love will walk away
And you gotta stay loose it's the only way to stay
