Well in 1941 a happy father had a son
And by 1944 the father walked right out the door And in '45 the mom and son were still alive But who could tell in '46 if the two were to survive Well the years were passing quickly But not fast enough for him So he closed his eyes through '55 And he opened them up again When he looked around he saw a clown And the clown seemed very gay And he set that night to join that circus clown and run away {Scat solo} Well he followed every railroad track And every highway sign And he had a girl in each new town And the towns he left behind And the open road Was the only road he knew But the color of his dreams Were slowly turning into blue Then he met a girl the kind of girl He'd wanted all his life She was soft and kind and good to him So he took her for his wife And they got a house not far from town And in a little while The girl had seen the doctor And she came home with a smile Now in 1961 a happy father had a son And by 1964 the father walked right out the door And in '65 the mom and son were still around But what will happen to the boy When the circus comes to town? {Scat solo} |

Everybody's talking at me
I don't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind People stopping, staring I can't see their faces Only the shadows of their eyes I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off of the northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Wah, wah wah-wah wah Wah-wah wah-wah, wah wah-wah Wahhh I'm going where the sun keeps shining Through the pouring rain Going where the weather suits my clothes Banking off of the northeast winds Sailing on a summer breeze And skipping over the ocean like a stone Everybody's talking at me Can't hear a word they're saying Only the echoes of my mind I won't let you leave my love behind No, I won't let you leave Wah, wah, wah I won't let you leave my love behind |

My Good Old Desk- by Harry Nilsson
Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah My old desk doesn't arabesque, in the morning when I first arrive. It's a pleasure to see it's waiting there for me to keep my hopes alive. Such a comfort to know it's got no place to go, it's always there. It's the one thing I've got, a huge success, my Good Old Desk. My old desk never needs a rest, and I've never once heard it cry. I've never seen it tease, it's always there to please me from nine to five. Such a comfort to know, it's dependable and slow, but it's always there. It's the one friend I've got, a giant of all times, my Good Old Desk. Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah My old desk isn't picturesque, but it's happy as a desk can be. We never say a word, but it's perfectly alright with me. For when my heart's on the floor, I just open the drawer of my favorite guest. And what do I see? But a picture of me working at my Good Old Desk. Oowah Oowah ah ah ah-ah Oowah Oowah ah |

Dreams are nothing more than wishes And a wish's just a dream you wish to come true If only I could have a puppy I'd call myself so very lucky Just ot have some company To share a cup of tea with me I'd take my puppy everywhere La la la la I wouldn't care Then we'll stay away from crowds With sites that say no dogs allowed Oh we... I know he'd never bite me We... I know he'd never bite me If only I could have a friend Who sticks with me until the ned And walk along beside the sea To share a bit of moon with me I'd take my friend most everywhere La la la la I wouldn't care And we'll stay away from crowds With sites that say no friends allowed Oh we...we'd be so happy to be... We...we'd be so happy to be together But dreams are nothing more than wishes And a wish's just a dream you wish to come true Dreams are nothing more than wishes (Your wish will come true) And a wish's just a dream (Your wish will come true) Your wish to come true (Your wish will come true) |

Newman
The milk truck hauls the sun up, the paper hits the door The subway shakes my floor and I think about you Time to face the dawning gray of another lonely day It's so hard living without you. It's so hard, it's so hard It's so hard living without you. Everyone's got something, they're trying to get some more They got something to get up for but I ain't about to Nothin's gonna happen, nothin's gonna change It's so hard living without you. It's so hard, it's so hard It's so hard living without you. It's so hard, it's so hard So hard. |

Have you ever watched a moonbeam As it slid across your windowpane Or struggled with a bit of rain Or danced about the weathervane Or sat along a moving train And wondered where the train has been Or on a fence with bits of crap Around its bottom Blown there by a windbeam Who searches for the moonbeam Who was last seen Looking at the tracks Of the careless windbeam Or moving to the clacks Of the tireless freight train And lighting up the sides Of the weathervane And the bits of rain And the windowpane And the eyes of those Who think they saw what happened... Have you ever watched a moonbeam As it slid across your windowpane Or struggled with a bit of rain Or danced about the weathervane Or sat along a moving train And wonder where the train has been?

In the winter time, keep your feet warm
But keep your clothes on and don’t forget me Keep your memories But keep your powder dry, too In the summer, by the poolside While the fireflies are all around you I'll miss you when I’m lonely I’ll miss the alimony, too Don’t forget me, don’t forget me Make it easy only just for a little while You know I think about you Let me know you think about me, too And when we’re older and full of cancer It doesn’t matter now, come on get happy ‘Cause nothing lasts forever But I will always love you Don’t forget me, please don’t forget me Make it easy only just for a little while You know I think about you Let me know you think about me, too |
