"California"

"California"

I'm goin' home to California
And I'll be there in about a week
And I've been gone too long to worry
Can't you see I'm in a hurry
California, here I come

I've got some people in California
I hope they'll be there when I get home
But I've been gone too long to worry
Can't you see I'm in a hurry
California, here I come

Gonna live in a canyon made of gold
And there the sunshine shines everyday I'm told
And I've been gone too long to worry
Can't you see I'm in a hurry
California, here I come

I'm goin' home to California
And I'll be there in about a week
And I've been gone too long to worry
Can't you see I'm in a hurry
California, here I come

"Call It What You Want"

"Call It What You Want"

Play it hard, make it soft, make it sound kinda sleazy
Put it in, take it off, no one said it was easy
Number one, I don't know, better get her direction
Here it comes, there it goes, didn't pass his inspection

Be yourself, take a chance, we know you can do it
Have a weird rubber pants, number ten with a bullet
Good words, wrong song, don't try to seduce her
Sounds great, hold on, think you need a producer
No way that punk rock can set you free
Put your mind at ease

Call it what you want, it's alright
It's rock 'n roll to me
Call it what you want, it's alright
It's rock 'n roll to me
It's rock 'n roll to me

Real bad, pay your dues, save the tuition
Take a chance, bye bye, shouldn't make a decision
My friends they arrive, rent a house on the ocean
Go to lunch, outta sight, we were talkin' promotion
No way that punk rock can set you free
Put your mind at ease

Call it what you want, it's alright
It's rock 'n roll to me
Call it what you want, it's alright
It's rock 'n roll to me
It's rock 'n roll to me

"Carl Of The Jungle"

"Carl Of The Jungle"

A man went to Africa to meet with the primitive
The man was very brave and not afraid
Didn't come there to enslave anyone

And it scared him, and though it sacred him
His intuition told him he'd better go
Back to Vienna
(Go back, go back)
(Go back, go back)

Now the man was eager to find out all about the primitive mind
He was very sensitive, was very patient
Realized that he was looking into a mirror at himself

And it scared him, and though it sacred him
His intuition told him he'd better go
Back to Vienna
(Go back, go back)
(Go back, go back)

Now he asked the native wise men, what do your dreams tell you now
They said "Since the white man came we're no longer able to dream
The white man knows it all"

And that scared him, and though it sacred him
He began havin' dreams himself that told him he'd better go
Back to Vienna
(Go back, go back)
(Go back, go back)
Now he thought about the primitive mind and he read about the ancient times
But when he slipped back a few thousand years and his heart locked up
He realized it was powerful stuff

And it scared him, you know it sacred him
His intuition told him he'd better go
Back to Vienna
(Go back, go back)
(Go back, go back)
Back to the white man
(Go back, go back)
(Go back, go back)
Back to Vienna
(Go back, go back)
(Go back, go back)
Up North
(Go back, go back)
(Go back, go back)

"Change Your Mind"

"Change Your Mind"

Gotta get back into your heart again
Change your mind, change your mind
The look you give me when you play your part to win
Change your mind, change your mind

'Cause losing you is easy but life's not long enough
To give you what I got now would hardly be enough, yeah
Change your mind, change your mind

'Cause losing you is easy but life's not long enough
To give you what I got now would hardly be enough, yeah
Change your mind, change your mind

"Chump Change Romeo"

Hello chump change Romeo
Watch this small town Cassanova work his show

Romeo you know, he still works out okay, yeah
He puts on the trousers, oh so tight
Then he goes out searchin' for women in the night

Hello chump change Romeo
Watch this small town Cassanova work his show

Romeo you know, he's got to have a lot, yeah
And he knows just when and where and what to touch
And he knows that you never can touch to much

Hello chump change Romeo
Watch this small town Cassanova work his show
And he's just a gigolo
Just a chump change Romeo

But he never stays in a slump
And his mind's on fire
And it's burnin' up with desire

He's just a chump, change Romeo
He's just a chump, change Romeo
He's just a chump, change Romeo

"Cindy"

"Cindy"

I wish I was a apple hangin' in a tree
And everytime my sweetheart passed
She'd take a bite off me
She told me that she loved me
She called me sugar plum
She threw her arms around me
I thought my time had come
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
I'll marry you sometime
I wish I had a needle
As fine as I could sew
I'd sew her in my pocket
And down the road I go
Cindy hugged and kissed me
She wrung her hands and cried
Swore I was the prettiest thing
That ever lived or died
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
Get along home, Cindy-Cindy
I'll marry you sometime

"Congratulations"

"Congratulations"

Congratulations, for breaking my heart
Congratulations, now aren't you smart
You've won the only love I know
So let me shake your hand
Congratulations from a mighty lonely man

I hope you love her as much as I
Please don't mistreat her, don't make her cry
The day you came into her life, that's when our love died
Congratulations and I hope you're satisfied

I want you to know that I still love her so much
Just mention her name and my heart still gets a thrill
I want you to know that I still long for her touch
And what's more buddy I guess I always will

Congratulations, for breaking my heart
We had a true love, but much to short
Just how you took her love from me I'll never understand

"Conversation"

"Conversation"

Conversation, gettin' so hard to make
I try to communicate, but i can't get through
We are strangers, but I remember when
You used to be my friend and my lover too

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
I just wonder how we ever got this way

Conversation, that's what it's all about
Why can't we talk it out, say what's on our minds
Situations keep gettin' in the way
So much we need to say, but we're running out of time

And I don't really know how it happened
I have tried but I don't understand
How we ever let it get so out of hand

Just like a dream you can't remember
Even though you always wish you could
When it's gone, it's gone forever
When it's gone, it's gone for good

Conversation, things that we've done and said
Keep running through my head like a sad echo
Desperation is gettin' the best of me
Can't seem to make you see that I can't let go

And I don't really know how it happened
And I don't really know what to say
But I can't bring myself to throw it all away
