"Old Friends"

"Old Friends"


Old friends, pitching pennies in the park
Playing croquet 'til it's dark, old friends
Mmm old friends, swapping lies of lives and loves
Pitching popcorn to the doves, old friends

Old friends, looking up to watch a bird
Holding arms to climb a kerb, old friends
Old friends, lord when all my work is done
Bless my life and grant me one, old friend
At least one, old friend

Old friends, looking up to watch a bird
Holding arms to climb a kerb, old friends
Old friends, lord when all my work is done
Bless my life and grant me one, old friend
At least one, old friend

"Old Toy Trains"

"Old Toy Trains"


Old toy trains, little toy tracks,
Little boy toys, coming from a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don't you think it's time you where in bed?

Close your eyeeeeees, listen to the skyyyyyys,
All is calm, all is well,
Soon you'll hear Chris Cringle and the jingle bells
Bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks, little boy toys
Coming form a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don't you think it's time you where in bed?

Close your eyeeeeees, listen to the skyyyyyys,
All is calm, all is well,
Soon you'll hear Chris Cringle and the jingle bells
Bringing old toy trains, little toy tracks, little boy toys
Coming form a sack,
Carried by a man dressed in white and red,
Little boy don't you think it's time you where in bed?

"One Dyin' And A Buryin'"

"One Dyin' And A Buryin'"


Well, I think I finally found me a sure-fire way to forget
It's so simple, I'm surprised I hadn't done thought of it before yet
It's foolproof - well, it's foolhardy, maybe, but who knows
Anyway, here I am walking toward where the cold dark water flows
Cos all it takes is:

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some crying
Six carrying me
I wanna be free

Oh...I wanna be free
Free from all this heartache and regret
And free from pining for the love I can't forget
The love that once was warm and then just somehow turned to hate
Made my life a prison from which there's only one escape
And that's:

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some cryin'
Six carryin' me
I wanna be free

One dying and a buryin'
One dying and a buryin'
Some cryin'
Six carryin' me
I wanna be free

"Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line"

"Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line"


Everybody knows you've been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
I'm gonna hit you in the head
With a loaf of light bread
If you had any sense you'd quit

'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

I keep a workin' every day all you want to is play
I'm tired of stayin' out all night
I'm comin' unglued
From your funny little moods
Now Honey baby that ain't right

'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

You keep a packin' up my clothes nearly everybody knows

That you're still just a puttin' me on
But when I start a walkin'
Gonna hear you start a squawkin'
And beggin' me to come back home

'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

Everybody knows you've been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
I'm gonna hit you in the head
With a loaf of light bread
If you had any sense you'd quit

'Cause ever since you were a little bitty teeny girl
You said I was the only man in this whole world
Now you better do some thinkin' then you'll find
You got the only daddy that'll walk the line

"Oo-De-Lally"

"Oo-De-Lally"


Robin Hood and Little John, walking through the forest
Laughing back and forth at what the other one has to say
Reminiscing this and that and having such a good time
Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day
Never ever thinking there was danger in the water
They were drinking, they just guzzled it down
Never dreaming that a scheming sheriff and his posse
Was a-watching them and gathering around
Robin Hood and Little John, running through the forest
Jumping fences, dodging trees and trying to get away
Contemplating nothing but escape and finally making it
Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day
Oo-de-lally, oo-de-lally, golly, what a day

"Open Up Your Heart"

"Open Up Your Heart"


Open up your heart
Jiggle it a little, it'll open
Tickle it a little, it'll fly
Right on up to the sky

Don't live your life
Sittin' somewhere in a corner
Don't be a little Jack Horner
With nothing in life but a pie

Don't be afraid
To dig a little giggling ‘n laughter
After all what are we after
Don't let it all pass you by

Open up your heart
Jiggle it a little, it'll open
Tickle it a little' it'll fly
Right on up to the sky

Open up your heart
Jiggle it a little, it'll open
Tickle it a little' it'll fly
Right on up to the sky

Open up your heart
Jiggle it a little, it'll open
Tickle it a little' it'll fly
Right on up to the sky

"Opera Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings"

"Opera Ain't Over Till The Fat Lady Sings"


To the opera I don't go
'Cos I know that Faust is slow
I can't hum Riggoletto
But since you took off I think you ought to know

That I'll keep crawlin' long as birds have wings
And I'll keep callin' long as your phone rings
I'll keep stallin' till the pendulum swings
'Cos the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings

Mister William I can't tell
If your overture was swell
???????? wasn't well
But since we broke up I haven't gone to hell

So I'll keep pluckin' at your old heart strings
I'll keep truckin' long as Basie swings
I'm not duckin' what tomorrow brings
'Cos the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings

Carmen left her Spanish town
Pagliacchi hid his frown
Yes I guess I'm like that clown
Tho you stood me up you'll never get me down

So while your cheatin' havin' all your flings
I ain't grievin', none of these things
Ain't retreatin' I'm a guy with wings
'Cos the opera ain't over till the fat lady sings

The opera ain't over till the fat lady sings

"Our Hearts Will Play The Music"

"Our Hearts Will Play The Music"


I don't like to do things I don't like to do I like to do just what I please
And if that pleases you then we can make music
Yeah we can make music to make the rafters ring
Our hearts will play the music for the songs our lips will sing
I don't care to go places I don't care to go I like to go just where I please
If that pleases you...
I don't like to think things I don't like to think I like to think just what I please
If that pleases you...
Our hearts will play the music for the songs our lips will sing
Our hearts will play the music for the songs our lips will sing

"Our Little Love"

"Our Little Love"


Our little love no longer is our little love is gone
Our little love no longer lives I'm so blue so poor and so haunt
And so I guess my little heart is watchin' my call one of the breaks of the game
Broken in two feeling blue since our little love ain't the same
I gave to you a part of my heart but you threw your part away
Leavin' me forgotten just wonderin' what in the world makes my baby do me this way
Our little love no longer is...
Our little love no longer is...

"Our Love"

"Our Love"


It might have been up sometime
Might have been down sometime
But all in all our love
We could be proud of
Sometimes it was so damn good
Sometimes it was no damn good
But all in all our love
We could be proud of
Look at the children, bright sunny faces
Did you ever see two more beautiful lives in your life
It might have been right sometime
Might have been wrong sometime
But all in all our love
We could be proud of
Look at the children, bright sunny faces
Did you ever see two more beautiful lives in your life
It might have been right sometime
Might have been wrong sometime
But all in all our love
Baby, we could be proud of
