"Underneath The Harlem Moon"

"Underneath The Harlem Moon"



Creole ladies walk along with rhythm in their thighs
Rhythm in their hips and in their lips and in their eyes,
Where do highbrows find the kind of love that satisfies?
Underneath the Harlem moon

There's no fields of cotton; picking cotton is taboo.
They don't live in cabins like the old folks used to do.
Their cabin is a penthouse up on Lennox Avenue,
Underneath the Harlem moon

They just live for dancing,
They're never blue or forlorn,
It ain't no sin to laugh and grin;
That's why darkies were born.

They shout, "Hallelujah!" every time they're feeling low.
Every sheik is dressed up like a Georgia gigolo.
You may call it madness but they call it hi-de-ho,
Underneath the Harlem moon

"We're Gonna Get Married"

"We're Gonna Get Married"



Into a life of pain came something beautiful
Someone who loved me much as I love her
There have been trials and tribulations, and not just a few
But we made it through
And now the time's at hand

We're gonna get married
And have everything
Birdies sing
The bells will ring
Bells of every denomination ringing

We're gonna get married
Take her hand in mine
We'll be lookin' fine
In the sweet sunshine

I hear the people are talkin'
All over town
As we go walking by
Yes, they do

But I don't mind their talkin'
It's all right
'Cause I got my baby to rock me and hold me tight

We're gonna get married
We're gonna get married
We're gonna get married
Wait and see

What a grand occasion it's gonna be
All those who love us will be there
One great big happy family, yes

We're gonna get married
We're gonna get married
We're gonna get married
You and me

We're gonna get married
We're gonna get married
We're gonna get married
Wait and see

"When Love Is In The Air (Demo)"

"When Love Is In The Air (Demo)"


[Night March 17th, Sunday, in South Bend]
[Cupid shoots Faust and the Peasants notice]

[Chorus of South Bend peasants:] When love is in the air
It may strike swiftly
Like a bolt out of the blue
One never knows whom it might fall on
Maybe me, maybe you
Maybe me, maybe you ...

[Faust:] I love you
Those words sound strange in my ear
I've never said them before to anyone
I love you
Now I know I'll always love you
That must sound crazy to you
But girl, I love you
If you knew how lonely I have been
How cold and how lonely my life has been
I need the warm touch
Of someone who loves me like I love you
I love you and I don't know your name

[Margaret (speaking):] It's Margaret.

[Faust:] Margaret, do you love me?

[Margaret:] No

[Faust:] What was that?

[Margaret:] No

[Faust:] What was that you just said?

[Margaret:] No, I don't love you
I don't know you
I don't love you

[Faust:] You little bitch
You whore
The first person I ever love and they don't love me?
Unbelievable!

Forgive me, I didn't know what I was saying

[South Bend Chorus:] Forgive him

[Chorus from above:] Forgive him

[Margaret:] I forgive you

[South Bend Chorus:] When love is in the air
It may strike swiftly
Like a bolt out of the blue
One never knows whom it might fall on
Maybe me, maybe me maybe you, maybe you
Maybe you

"Wilderness"

"Wilderness"



You hear a voice come calling in the wilderness
That the blind can see and that the poor possess
Hear the voice come calling in the wilderness
That the blind can see and that the poor possess
Yeah, now

See the fire burn and hear the wind attest
That the weak are strong and the weary rest
See the fire burn, hear the wind attest
That the weak are strong, the weary rest
Yeah

Hear the voice come calling in the wilderness
The blind can see and that the poor possess
Yeah the voice come calling in the wilderness
That the blind can see and that the poor possess

Oh yeah, now

See the fire burn and hear the wind attest
That the weak are strong and the weary rest
The voice come calling in the wilderness
That the blind can see and that the poor possess
A voice come calling in the wilderness
That the blind can see and that the poor possess

"William Brown"

"William Brown"



William Brown, a tobacco man
Left North Carolina when he sold his land
He took a train to Omaha
Stayed there with some friends he had

And he didn't mind the dust
And he didn't mind the wind
And he didn't mind the cold
And he didn't miss home

And he liked the people
And he liked the town
So he built himself a house beside the river
And he sent for his children
And he sent for his cars
And he bought a little business that would
Run itself

And he didn't mind the dust
And he didn't mind the wind
And he didn't mind the cold
And he didn't miss home

"Yellow Man"

"Yellow Man"



Very far away in a foreign land
Live the yellow woman and the yellow man
He's been around for many-a-year
They say they were there before we were here

Eatin' rice all day
While the children play
You see he believes
In the family
Just like you and me

Oh, yellow man, oh, yellow man
We understand, you know we understand

He keeps his money tight in his hand
With his yellow woman he's a yellow man

Got to have a yellow woman
When you're a yellow man

"You Can Leave Your Hat On"

"You Can Leave Your Hat On"



Baby, take off your coat...(real slow)
Baby, take off your shoes...(here, I'll take your shoes)
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the lights
Now come back here and stand on this chair...that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air...shake 'em
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live

Suspicious minds are talking
Trying to tear us apart
They say that my love is wrong
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
I know what love is

"You Can't Fool The Fat Man"

"You Can't Fool The Fat Man"



Sittin' with the fat man
Tryin' to get a loan
Talkin' about the horses
And the women that we've known

Spittin' on the sidewalk
Squintin' into the sun
Greetin' all the people
Smilin' at everyone

I said "Hey, listen, Fat Man
I just can't get a break
Must I pay my whole life long
For just one mistake?

"My brother's in the armed forces
My sister is in jail,
Won't you give me fifty dollars
So I can pay her bail?"

He said "You Can't Fool The Fat Man
No, you can't fool me
You're just a two-bit grifter
And that's all you'll ever be"

"You Can't Fool The Fat Man
No, you can't fool me
You're just a two-bit grifter
And that's all you'll ever be"

"You've Got A Friend In Me"

"You've Got A Friend In Me"



You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles from your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy you've got a friend in me
Yeah you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You got troubles and I got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together, we can see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be a little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them
Will ever love you the way I do
It's me and you boy

And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
