"Look At Mary"

"Look At Mary"



Look at Mary comin' down the highway
Look at her runnin', are you goin' my way
Mary are you tryin' to find
A place to go, some peace of mind
Look at her run
Runnin', comin' undone

She's trying to get her mind together, she'd be glad to
But she couldn't tell you from me, If she had to
Mary are you tryin' to find
A place to go, some peace of mind
Look at her run
Runnin', comin' undone

Mary takes you by the hand
She can tell that you understand, yeah

There she is she's no where near together
'Cause the place she'd like to be is gone forever
Mary are you tryin' to find
A place to go, some peace of mind
Look at her run
Runnin', comin' undone

Look at Mary comin' down the highway
Look at her runnin', are you goin' my way
Mary are you tryin' to find
A place to go, some peace of mind
Look at her run
Runnin', comin' undone

Mary take me by the hand
I can tell that you understand, yeah
Mmm, yeah, mmm

Aw, get it Mary

"Louisiana Man"

"Louisiana Man"



At first mom and papa called their little boy Ned
They raised him on the banks of a riverbed
A houseboat tied to a big tall tree
A home for my mama and my papa and me
The clock strikes three papa jumps to his feet
Already mama's cooking papa somethin' to eat
At half past papa he's a ready to go
He jumps in his beero headed down the bayou

He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana river
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He's settin' his traps, catchin' anything he can
Gotta make a livin', he's a Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin', he's a Lousiana man

Muskrat hides hangin' by the dozen
Even got a little baby muskrat cousin
Got 'em out dryin' in the hot, hot sun
Tomorrow Papa's gonna turn 'em into mon

They call mama Rita and my daddy Jack
My little baby brother on the floor, that's Mac
Red and Len are the family twins
Big brother Ed's on the bayou fishin'

On the river floats papa's great big boat
That's how me and papa go into town
It takes every bit of a night and day
To even reach the place where the people stay

I can hardly wait tomorrow comes around
That's the day my Poppa takes the furs to town
papa promised me that I could go
He even catch a cowboy show
I saw the cowboys and Indians for the first time then
I told my Papa: Got to go again
Papa said: Son, we got lines to run
We'll come back again 'cause there's work to be done

He's got fishin' lines strung across the Louisiana river
Gotta catch a big fish for us to eat
He'settin' his traps, catchin' anything he can
Gotta make a livin', he's a Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin', he's a Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin', he's a Lousiana man
Gotta make a livin', he's a Lousiana man

Your love and kisses, aha-ha
Your love and kisses, aha-ha
Fulfill all of my wishes
That's all I gotta have to make my dreams come true

You took me by the hand and made me feel just like a man
And little chills ran up and down my spine
You made me love you through an' through
And when you kiss me like you do
It leaves me feelin' awful fine

You know I'll always try to be anything you ask of me
And this is all I want from you

"Love Is The Sweetest Thing"

"Love Is The Sweetest Thing"



Love is the sweetest thing
What else on earth could ever bring
Such happiness to everything
As love's old story

Love is the strangest thing
No song of birds upon the wing
Shall in our hearts so sweetly sing
That love's old story

Whatever heart may desire
Whatever fate may send
This is the song that never will tire
This is the song without end

Love is the greatest thing
The oldest, yet the latest thing
I only hope that fate may bring
Love's story to you

Whatever heart may desire
Whatever fate may send

Love is the sweetest thing
Love is the greatest thing
Love is the greatest thing
This is the song that never will tire
This is the song without end

Love is the greatest thing
The oldest, yet the latest thing
I only hope that fate may bring
Love's story to you

"Love Is Where You Find It"

"Love Is Where You Find It"



Love is where you find it
On the city streets, wherever people meet, anywhere you go
When you find it you will know, woh, woh

Love is where you find it
In a dim cafe, a secret hideaway, it can come to you
And it's just a step away, woh, woh

And you know when you find it
Your heart will tell you that it's so, woh
And you know when you find it
That you'll never let her go

Walkin' in the rain, love can find you
Life won't be the same, when it finds you
And when it's had it's start
You'll never want to be apart

Love is where you find it
Maybe not today, but love will find a way, if you want it to
Love will come to you, woh, woh

And you know when you find it
Your heart will tell you that it's so, woh
And you know when you find it
That you'll never let her go

Love is where you find it
Maybe not today, but love will find a way, if you want it to
Love will come to you, woh, woh

"Love Minus Zero / No Limit"

"Love Minus Zero / No Limit"



My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals of violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her

In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall
Some speak of the future
My love she speaks softly
She knows there's no success like failure
And that failure's no success at all

The bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Bankers, nieces, seek perfection
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring
The wind howls like a hammer
The night blows cold and rainy
My love, she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing

My love speaks like silence
Without ideals of violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her

"Love Story"

"Love Story"



I like your brother, I like your mother
And I like you, and you like me too
You get a preacher, I'll get a ring
We'll hire a band with an accordian, a violin
And a tenor who can sing

You and me, you and me baby, you and me
You and me, you and me baby, you and me
You and me, you and me baby, you and me
You and me, you and me baby

We'll have a kid or maybe we'll rent one
He's got to be straight, we don't want a bent one
He'll drink his baby brew from a big brass cup
Someday he might be president, if thing's loosen up

You and me, you and me baby, you and me
You and me, you and me baby, you and me
You and me, you and me baby, you and me
You and me, you and me baby

I'll take a train into the city every mornin'
You may be plain, but I think you're pretty in the mornin'
Some nights we'll go out dancin'
If I am not to tired
Some nights we'll spend romancin'
Watchin' the late show by the fire

"Love Story (Reprise)"

"Love Story (Reprise)"



Our kids are grown, with kids of their own
They'll send us away to a little home in Florida
We'll play checkers all day till we pass away

"Lucky Star"

"Lucky Star"



Lucky star shine on me
Lucky star don't you see
I need your light shinin' bright
To win her love for me tonight

Lucky star in the sky
Don't let her love pass me by
No matter how near or far
Won't you be my lucky star

Oo, oo, oo, I'm wishin' on you
Oo, oo, oo, I promise I'll be true

Lucky star up above
Please help me win her love
Tell me what my chances are
Won't you be my lucky star

Oo, oo, oo, I'm wishin' on you
Oo, oo, oo, I promise I'll be true

Lucky star up above
Please help me win her love
Tell me what my chances are
Won't you be my lucky star
Won't you be my lucky star

"Mad Mad World"

"Mad Mad World"



Everybody's runnin' in a mad, mad world
But nobody's goin' nowhere
Everybody's gotta have more than the others
Gotta have more than their share

Ever since the devil tempted woman with an apple
We've all had a burden to bare
Now the world keeps turnin' and things are gettin' faster
Nobody's goin' nowhere

They say the grass is greener on the other side
When they cross over they find
Everybody's searchin' like you and me
Tryin' to find peace of mind

See that little boy fishin' on the river
If I could just be like him
I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him

See that little boy fishin' on the river
If I could just be like him
I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him
I'd close my eyes and let the mad world go by
If only I could be like him
