"It's A Jungle Out There"

"It's A Jungle Out There"



One day Tarzan said to Jane while they were walking through the garden
'One thing I must explain before we go much farther'
'I know you'd like a bright new dress with a bright new yellow linin'
'But every time you want one darlin', I got to fight a lion'.

And it's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
There ain't no way around it
At least I've never found it
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there.

Way back in the city, where the city people smile
Whenever they need a new pair of shoes, they don't kill no crocodile
And when the nighttime falls around them, they stay in their hotels
But out here, darlin', when the night time comes, there's nothin' to do but yell.

'Cause it's a jungle out there
You better say a prayer
Even if they eat you
And eventually they will
It's a jungle out there, ooh, you know.

One day Tarzan said to Jane : 'I want to talk to you about the boy'
'He's been actin' very strange lately, he thinks a tool's a toy'
'Why only yesterday while I was out there fixin' up the vine'
'He said: 'Dad, I'm gonna take a swing' - but he grabbed a hold of my vine, ow.

It's a jungle out there
Hey, you better beware
There ain't no way around it
At least I've never found it
It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there.

Now the moral of this story is if you end up out there too
Think of all them snakes you might have snaken up on you
But on the other hand, my darlin', you don't have to care
'Cause no matter how far, no matter how long, no matter how cold or fair
High or low, up or down, it's still a jungle out there.

It's a jungle out there
It's a jungle out there
There ain't no way around it
At least I've never found it
'Cause it's a jungle out there.

"It's Been So Long"

"It's Been So Long"



It’s been so long
It’s been so long
It’s been so long since I kissed you
Oh Lord knows how I missed you
Gee you’re looking gee, but you’re looking so fine
It’s been so long since I held ya
Oh yeah I’ve been… just to tell ya
Gee you’re looking gee, but you’re looking so fine
La, la, la, la, la….
It’s been so long
It’s been so long
It’s been so long since I kissed you
Oh Lord knows how I missed you
Gee you’re looking gee, but you’re looking fine
It’s been so long since I held ya
Oh yeah I’ve been… just to tell ya
Gee you’re looking gee, but you’re looking fine
La, la, la, la, la….
It’s been so long
It’s been so long

"It's Only A Paper Moon"

"It's Only A Paper Moon"



Say, it's only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sky
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Yes, it's only a canvas sky
Hanging over a muslin tree
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

Without your love
It's a honky-tonk parade
Without your love
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

It's a honky-tonk parade
It's a melody played in a penny arcade

It's a Barnum and Bailey world
Just as phony as it can be
But it wouldn't be make-believe
If you believed in me

"It's So Easy"

"It's So Easy"


What could you do if I had you?
What would I want to do without you?
What good is being without you?
Why should I run around after you?
You're so good,
You're so good,
You're so good,
You're so easy
How do you feel when you see me
What do you see when you see through me?
It's so good to be inside you
Can't stop myself from messing with you
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so easy
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so easy

What do you see when you see me
Do you see you when you see through me?
What do you feel when your near me
Is that the truth can you hear me
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so easy
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so easy

"Jesus Christ You're Tall"

"Jesus Christ You're Tall"



Jesus I said Jesus I said Jesus Christ you're tall
I bet nobody I bet nobody I bet nobody wanted to dance with you at all
I said Jesus, I said Jesus there hardly ain't no room here for you at all
I said Jesus. I said Jesus I said Jesus Christ you're tall

Well we could dribble our way down a courtship
Get married for a little while
I would shoot a little love inside your basket mama and in a little while we'd have a child
He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy

But he'll get taller as the time goes by
He'd be a little boy, he'd be a little boy
But pretty soon he'll hear the other boys cry
Because they're saying to him

Jesus they'd say Jesus they'd say Jesus Christ you're tall
I bet some day at least some day I hope he finds a basketball
So maybe a big scout from a big town team will come and sign him to the meadow larks
And then someday. Someday he'll play as good as van dyke parks

He'll be famous he'll get married, he'll be happy,
He'll be happy with the girl next door
They'll have a little boy, they'll have a little boy but at birth he'll measure six foot four
Each generation as the time goes by

Will grow and grow until they reach the sky
And finally someday I said someday they'll bump into God
And he'll say "hi"

And then he'll say Jesus, Jesus look at 'em, Jesus Christ they're tall Jesus. Just look at 'em. Jesus

Hey' you guys want to play a little basketball
There will be a big court up in heaven
Softer than the softest cloud

They can play all day, they can play all night they can play as long as they can play

It'll be a half court game until the other boys show it'll be a full court game and then, when it's over we'll hear a high score.
It'll be over, then the end amen hey' Jesus, oh Jesus. Sweet Jesus Christ you're tall no nobody. No no nobody

You guys wanna play a little basketball

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon Jesus
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon Lord
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon do a hook shot baby
C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon shoot that ball
C'mon Jesus let's get together

I loved you a long time ago
Way up in heaven, up in heaven, that's the hell of it baby all night long

"Joy"

"Joy"



The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said come here,
I'm gonna make you my joy boy
Well, things went good and things went bad
Now everytime I think of Joy
It makes me sad
It makes me... sad
The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said Roy!
I'm gonna make you my joy boy
Well, she took me for a ride
Sort of a joy ride
Now everytime I think of Joy
I get all weird inside
Oh, Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Now--if you haven't got an answer
Then you haven't got a question
And if you never had a question
Then you'd never have a problem
But if you never had a problem
Well, everyone would be happy
But if everyone was happy
There'd never be a love song
Joy was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
The other day I met a girl named Joy
She said, Come here,
I wanna make you feel all clammy inside
Things went good good and things went bad
Things went good... things went bad
Good, bad, good, bad, good, bad
Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Oh, Joy to the world
Was a beautiful girl
But to me Joy meant only sorrow
Joy, I know you're out there
I want you to turn on your radio and listen to my song

"Jump Into The Fire"

"Jump Into The Fire"


You can climb a mountain
You can swim the sea
You can jump into the fire
But you'll never be free

You can shake me up
Or I can break you down
Whoa-o-o-o-, whoa-o-o-o-

We can make each other happy [4X]
[Repeat entire 3 times more]
You can jump into the fire [4X]

"Just One Look / Baby I'm Yours"


Just one look that's all it took, yeah
Just one look that's all it took, yeah

Just one look
And I felt so I, I, I'm in love with you, oh, oh
I found out how good it feels to have your love, oh oh
Say you will, will be mine forever and always, oh oh
Just one look and I knew that you were my only one, oh, oh

I thought I was dreamin' but I was wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, but I'm gonna keep on schemin'
'Till I can make you, make you my own

So you see I really care without you I'm nothing, oh, oh
Just one look and I know I'll get you some day, oh, oh

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the stars fall from the sky-y-y-y-y
Yours (yours) until the rivers all run dry
In other words, until I di-i-ie

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until the sun no longer shi-i-i-i-ines
Yours (yours) until the poets run out of rhyme
In other words, until the end of time

I'm gonna stay right here by your side
Do my best to keep you satisfied
Nothin' in the world can drive me away
Every day you'll hear me say

Baby, I'm yours (baby, I'm yours)
And I'll be yours (yours) until two and two is three-ee-ee-ee-ee
Yours (yours) until the mountain crumbles to the sea
In other words, until eternity

Baby, I'm yours
Till the stars fall from the sky
Baby, I'm yours
Till the rivers all run dry
Baby, I'm yours
[FADE]
Till the poets run out of rhyme

"Kojak Columbo"

"Kojak Columbo"



Well, it's a little late for Christmas but have one anyway
And while I'm on the subject, baby, have a happy birthday
How's your father? How's your mom?
Don't it make you itch a little when you know they've got the bomb?
Boy, it's been weird out here lately but I guess that's OK too
'Cause television is here to save us and tell us what to do.

Kojak, Kojak, Kojak,Columbo
Sell me an old one, sell me some gumbo
Tell me a new one, at least once a night
Show me an old one but don't turn out your love light.

You've got nineteen inches, baby, and that's a real good size
I could lie there on the floor and just look at you all night long
I could just twist your knobs right off and fool around with you
I don't need no TV guide to tell me what to do.

Kojak, Kojak, Kojak,Columbo
Sell me an old one, sell me some gumbo
Tell me a new one, at least once a night
Tell me an old one but save out your love light.

Ah, and when I get too old, too old to rock and roll
I'll sit in my unrockin' chair, babe, and use my remote control.

Kojak, Kojak, Kojak, Columbo
Sell me an old one, sell me some gumbo
Tell me a new one, at least once a night
Show me an old one but don't turn out your love light.

You've got nineteen inches, baby, that's a real good size
I'd like to poke my eyes inside you, baby, and just look around
I love your cute little rabbit ears, I love your cable and your box
And when I turn out the light at night, baby, I hope that light never stops
Your love light, Kojak.

"Laughin' Man"

"Laughin' Man"



They call him the laughin' man with the laughin' plan
He's got a laughin' place and a laughin' face.

If trouble tries to trouble in
And tries to snake its rattle in
The laughin' man begins to grin and trouble runs away.

And when the devil tries to creep
Into his dreams and tries to sleep
The laughin' man a dream away, a slack, a slack a day.

But the laughin' man uses his laughin' plan
He's got a laughin' place and a laughin' face.

So the laughin' man uses his laughin' plan
He just grins and smiles the laughin' man's way
Then he makes the devil curse and run away.

So when you're feelin' down or feelin' blue
Just think of what the laughin' man might do
Just draw yourself a nice and cosy bath
Then look in the mirror and laugh, laugh, laugh.

He is the laughin' man with the laughin' plan
He's got a laughin' place and a laughin' face.
