To the tables down at Mory's. To the place where Louie dwells. To the dear old Temple bar we love so well. Sing the Whiffenpoofs assembled with their glasses raised on high.
Dream beside me in the midnight glow, the lamp Is low. Dream and watch the shadows came and go, the lamp Is low. While you linger in my arms, my lips will sigh "I love you so".
Through the twilight, I can hear the humming of a melancholy coon (mm-mm). For the memories that still linger, I thank you mister Moon. And, although I've never smiled.
There once was a very famous man. On his famous horse he'd ride through the land. The people used to see him everywhere. When he died, they put a statue in the square.
Hi there, nice to be with you, glad you could stick around.. Like to introduce `Legs' Larry Smith, drums. And Sam Spoons, rhythm pole. And Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell, bass guitar.
There was a time when I thought of no other and we sang our own love's refrain. Our hearts beat as one and we had our fun but time changes everything.
Tomorrow morning I'll be rising. And I keep waiting for the sun to shine. Goodbye yesterday, I need to find a better way. Tomorrow morning should be fine.
I started out so starry-eyed. Full of hope and wonder. And I wore flowers in my hair. Not aware I'd been defiled. . (Every time I see you) I know it's going down.
Up in the mornin' out on the job, work like the devil for my pay. But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do. But roll around heaven all day. Fuss with my woman toil for my kids.
"I'm the Sheik of Araby,. Your love belongs to me.. At night when you're asleep. Into your tent I'll creep.. The stars that shine above,. Will light our way to love..
Testing. One, two, three, four, five. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, oops. Up and down, I think. . (On repeat, give me a count). The stuff that they know.
I was born in a bunk. Mama died and my daddy got drunk. Left me here to die or grow. In the middle of Tobacco Road.. . Grew up in a dusty shack. All I had was a-hanging on my back.
I used to wake up in the morning, curse the light. Curse the day, that I wandered far away, to this wicked life.. Chorus: But now I'm growin strong, and green on the vine. Livin in the light of your smile. Watchin the days slowly driftin by through the eyes of a child..
Surprise, you got a head full of lies. I'd rather die, than be living like you. I'm a teenage disease, born bred and desire. I was sold the sun, left out in the night.
It's been that way since the git go. It's been that way since the git go. It's been that way since the git go. Lord it's always been that way. . Woman shined the apple, and the man had to take a bite.
Wella, oh yeah. Wella, oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. . Do you know that this little girl of mine. I want you people to know. This little girl of mine. I take her everywhere I go.
Last night I was dreaming, dreamed about the H-bomb. Well, the bomb went off and I was caught. I was the only man on the ground. There was a-thirteen women and only one man in town.
There's a line that is drawn through the ages. On that line stands an old rugged cross. On that cross, a battle is raging. To gain a man's soul or it's loss.
I dreamed I went to heaven. You were there with me. We walked along the streets of gold. Beside the crystal sea. We heard the angels singing. Then someone called your name.
Its not the pale moon that excites me. That thrills and delights me, oh no. Its just the nearness of you. . It isn't your sweet conversation. That brings this sensation, oh no.
