Standing tough under stars and stripes
We can tell This dream's in sight You've got to admit it At this point in time that it's clear The future looks bright On that train all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from NewYork to Paris Well by seventy-six we'll be A.O.K. What a beautiful world this will be What a glorious time to be free Get your ticket to that wheel in space While there's time The fix is in You'll be a witness to that game of chance in the sky You know we've go to win Here at home we'll play in the city Powered by the sun Perfect weather for a streamlined world There'll be spandex jackets one for everyone What a beautiful world this'll be What a glorious time to be free On that train all graphite and glitter Undersea by rail Ninety minutes from NewYork to Paris (More leisure for artists everywhere) A just machine to make big decisions Programmed by fellows with compassion and vision We'll be clean when their work is done We'll be eternally free yes and eternally young What a beautiful world this'll be What a glorious time to be free..... |

Uptown
It's murder out in the street Uptown It's murder out in the street That's where I found my mandarin plum That's where you'd be if you found one Where the nights are bright And joy is complete Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street Since May There's trouble most every night Where once we danced our sweet routine It reeks of wine and kerosene Where the nights are bright And joy is complete Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street There's a special place for lovers One we understand There where neon bends in daylight sky In that sunny room she soothes me Cools me with her fan We're drifting A thousand years roll by Lou Chang Her brother he's burning with rage Lou Chang Her brother he's burning with rage I'd like to know what's on his mind He says hey buddy you're not my kind Where the nights are bright And joy is complete Keep my squeeze on Green Flower Street |

She don't love me, but I love her just the same Ruby Baby how I want you Like a ghost I'm gonna haunt you Ruby Baby when will you be mine Each time I see you baby my heart cries I'm gonna steal you away from all those guys From the sunny day I met you Made a bet that I would get you Ruby Baby when will you be mine I got a girl and Ruby is her name I'd give the world just to set her heart aflame Got some lovin' money too Gonna give it all to you Ruby Baby when will you be mine |

Some say that we're reckless
They say we're much too young Tell us to stop before we've begun We've got to hold out till graduation Try to hang on Maxine While the world is sleeping We meet at Lincoln Mall Talk about life the meaning of it all Try to make sense of the suburban sprawl Try to hang on Maxine Mexico City is like another world Nice this year they say You'll be my senorita In jeans and pearls But first let's get off this highway We'll move up to Manhattan And fill the place with friends Drive to the coast and drive right back again One day we'll wake up, make love but 'til then Try to hang on Maxine |

Yes we're gonna have a wingding
A summer smoker underground It's just a dugout that my dad built In case the reds decide to push the button down We've got provisions and lots of beer The key word is survival on the new frontier Introduce me to that big blonde She's got a touch of Tuesday Weld She's wearing Ambush and a French twist She's got us wild and she can tell She loves to limbo, that much is clear She's got the right dynamics for the new frontier Well I can't wait 'til I move to the city 'Til I finally make up my mind To learn design and study overseas Have you got a steady boyfriend Cause honey I've been watching you I hear you're mad about Brubeck I like your eyes, I like him too He's an artist, a pioneer We've got to have some music on the new frontier Well I can't wait 'til I move to the city 'Til I finally make up my mind To learn design and study overseas Let's pretend that it's the real thing And stay together all night long And when I really get to know you We'll open up the doors and climb into the dawn Confess your passion your secret fear Prepare to meet the challenge of the new frontier |

I'm Lester the Nightfly
Hello Baton Rouge Won't you turn your radio down Respect the seven second delay we use So you say there's a race Of men in the trees You're for tough legislation Thanks for calling I wait all night for calls like these An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line 'til the sun comes through the skylight I've got plenty of java And Chesterfield Kings But I feel like crying I wish I had a heart like ice Heart like ice If you want your honey To look super swell You must spring for that little blue jar Patton's Kiss And Tell Kiss And Tell An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line 'til the sun comes through the skylight You'd never believe it But once there was a time When love was in my life I sometimes wonder What happened to that flame The answer's still the same It was you, it was you Tonight you're still on my mind An independent station WJAZ With jazz and conversation From the foot of Mt. Belzoni Sweet music Tonight the night is mine Late line 'til the sun comes through the skylight |

The surf was easy on the day I came to stay
On this quiet island in the bay I remember a line of women all in white The laughter and the steel bands at night Now the Americans are gone exept for two The embassy's been hard to reach There's been talk and lately a bit of action after dark Behind the big casino on the beach The rules are changed It's not the same It's all new players in a whole new ball game Last night I dreamed of an old lover dressed in gray I've had this fever now since yesterday Wake up darling they're knocking the Colonel's standing in the sun With his stupid face the glasses and the gun I know what happens I read the book I believe I just got the goodbye look Won't you pour me a Cuban breeze Gretchen I know a fellow with a motor launch for hire A skinny man with two-tone shoes Cause tonight they're arranging a small reception just for me Behind the big casino by the sea I know what happens I read the book I believe I just got the goodbye look |

A shadow crossed the blue Miami sky
As we hit the causeway by the big hotels We fought, now I can't remember why After all the words were said and tears were gone We vowed we'd never say goodbye When we kissed, we could hear the sound of thunder As we watched the regulars rush the big hotels We kissed again as the showers swept the Florida shore You opened your umbrella But we walked between the raindrops back to your door We walked between the raindrops back to your door Oh, Miami In my dreams, I can hear the sound of thunder I can see the causeway by the big hotels That happy day, we'll find each other on that Florida shore You'll open your umbrella And we'll walk between the raindrops back to your door We'll walk between the raindrops Between the raindrops Walk between the raindrops back to your door |
