Turn off the musicTake down the signs
Pack up the boxes Put away the wine No toast for the future No reward for the find If looks could kill This mirror would do Only 'cause I don't have you Later on good wishes Later on good try I'm afraid won't do It's not justified You go from the privy And you end up deprived On top of the world But still there's no view Only 'cause I don't have you Not built on a wisp or whim Twist an arm, break a leg Tear me limb from limb If there's a point you've made it If there's a fare I've paid it Don't bother with ovations Leave off the fanfare Let the candles melt down Till the smoke's all that's there Leave the veil in place A tear, la mer I could say it was nothing Now that there's nothing new Only 'cause I don't have you |

A little bit of me and a whole lot of you
Add a dash of starlight and a dozen roses, too Then let it rise for a hundred years or two And that's the recipe for making love It doesn't need sugar 'cause it's already sweet It doesn't need an oven 'cause it's got a lot of heat Just add a dash of kisses to make it all complete And that's the recipe for making love And if you've made it right you'll know it It's not like anything you've made before And if you've made it wrong you'll know it 'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf NO, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself And that's the recipe for making love It's not like anything you've made before And if you've made it wrong you'll know it 'Cause it won't keep you coming back for more I didn't get it from my grandma's book upon the shelf I didn't get it from a magical and culinary elf NO, a little birdie told me you can't make it by yourself And that's the recipe for making love |

That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air, There were angels dining at the Ritz and A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square. I may be right, I may be wrong, But I’m perfectly willing to swear That when you turn’d and smiled at me A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square. The moon that lingered over London town, Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown. How could he know we two were so in love. The whole darn world seemed upside down, The streets of town were paved with stars. It was such a romantic affair, And as we kiss’d and said “goodnight? A nightingale sang on Berk’ley Square The moon that lingered over London town, Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown. How could he know we two were so in love. The whole darn world seemed upside down, The streets of town were paved with stars. It was such a romantic affair, And as we kiss’d and said “goodnight?

The man in the moon is smiling 'cause he's in love The man in the moon is smiling 'cause he's in love with the girl in the world She's there in the evening She never comes late All day she spins around But never makes him wait The girl in the world is smiling 'cause she's in love The girl in the world is smiling 'cause she's in love with the man in the moon When two heavenly bodies glow All the stars agree A planet might be born Maybe even a galaxy And in the morning They don't say good-bye But with a kiss They blend into the sky Oh, they're smiling 'cause they're in love The man in the moon is smiling 'cause he's in love with the girl in the world The man in the moon is smiling 'cause he's in love with the girl in the world Heavenly! |

White clouds float by Like high cotton Blank as an empty page Blue is a color buried Not forgotten Sweet as mother's milk And clear as the wind Wrap the dead in a pleat of silk Blue is the color to be buried in When you left Leaving nothing behind There's no one to blame No criminal, no crime You can report a missing person But not a stolen heart And I'm missing a person To whom stealing was an art The painting's complete The brush strokes dry I hear a band playing A bent note or two I guess someone died And just wants to be Buried in blue When you left Leaving nothing behind There's no one to blame No criminal, no crime You can report a missing person But not a stolen heart And I'm missing a person To whom stealing was an art The painting's complete The brush strokes dry I hear a band playing A bent note or two I guess someone died And just wants to be Buried in blue |

With some old friends Not much has changed Since the last time I saw them There's a chicken in uniform Wooden leg and a matchstick arm Saying: "left my wing back on the farm ...Tried the buffet..." Tiny took a turn on steel guitar After he got a fresh feel for the bar Lines drawn of jelly-fish caviar ...Saying: "wanna jamm???" I don't like throwing Parties like that But I love going They said no guests So I thought of you Hey mama, it's on A disconcerted youth with a gun Wants to shoot-up some fun Saying: "I'm failing science and math But I'm head of the class in murder one" Balance sheets unpresarioed ballets And advertised for run-a-ways That only dance on holidays ...When crutches cut in... Willa was disenchanted Tossed her garter and demanded "Nothing can be recanted ...If it was nothing to begin with..." A magician did card tricks For a bunch of well-heeled hicks And held up a red six ...One said: "that's a black seven..." I don't like throwing Parties like that But I love going They said no guests So I thought of you Hey mama, it's on A disconcerted youth with a gun That semi-precious son He needs to learn if you take a life You ain't got none Cracked pelicans rode magnolias Sent advice to rebel soldiers That all ended with: "I told ya's ...So then why do you ask???..." You can tell it's getting late When Cal calls himself Kate And peons hire potentates ...Saying: "when you finish Trim the hedges..." I'm making a hurried get-a-way Down Santa Monica, out of L.A. If you like it so much stay ...There's a theme park in the mix... I don't like throwing Parties like that But I love going They said no guests So I thought of you Hey mama, it's on |

It's the heaven right here on earth All the beautiful queens, Look out! Way down yonder in New Orleans |

Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lassy My father gave me nose a tweak And told me I was sassy But then one day I learned a word That saved me aching nose The biggest word I ever heard And this is how it goes: Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Even though the sound of it Is something quite atrocious If you say it loud enough You'll always sound precocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! So when the cat has got your tongue There's no need for dismay Just summon up this word And then you've got a lot to say But better use it carefully Or it can change your life One night I said it to me guy And now I am his wife! She's supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! No matter how you use this word Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! Expialic |

Maybe far away, or maybe real near by.He may be pouring her coffee,She may be Straightning his tie.Maybe in a house all hidden by a hill,She's sittin' playin' Piano,He's sittin' payin' a bill.Betcha they're young.Betcha they're smart,Bet they collect things like ashtrays and art.Betcha there good.Why shouldn't they be?Their one mistake was giving up me.So maybe now it's time,And maybe when I wake,They'll be there calling me baby,Maybe.

Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you'll see into your imagination. We'll begin with a spin traveling in the world of my creation. What we'll see will defy explanation. If you want to view paradise Simply look around and view it. Anything you want to do it. You can even eat the dishes Who can take a sunrise Sprinkle it with dew Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two The Candy Man The Candy Man can The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good Who can take a rainbow Wrap it in a sigh Soak it in the sun and make strawberry-lemon pie The Candy Man The Candy Man can The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good The Candy man makes everything he bakes Satisfying and delicious Talk about your childhood wishes You can even eat the dishes Yes... The Candy man makes everything he bakes Satisfying and delicious Talk about your childhood wishes Wanna change the world? There's nothing to it. There is no life I know to compare with pure imagination. Living there you'll be free if you truly wish to be. And the world tastes good 'cause the Candy Man thinks it should... |

I never thought my life could be anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me Cause I've got a golden ticket I've got a golden twinkle in my eye I never had a chance to shine never a happy song to sing, But suddenly half the world is mine what an amazing thing Cause I've got a golden ticket. I've got a golden sun up in the sky. I never thought I'd see the day when I would face the world and say, "Good morning. Look at the sun." I never thought that I would be slap in the lap of luxury Cause I have said it couldn't be done But it can be done. I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy, But nevertheless it's there that I'm shortly about to be Cause I've got a golden ticket I've got a golden chance to make my way And with the golden ticket it's a golden day. I want a feast I want a bean feast Cream buns and doughnuts and fruitcake with no nuts so good you could go nuts. Give to me now! I want a ball I want a party Pink macaroons and a million balloons and performing baboons and Give it to me now. I want the world, I want the whole world. I want to lock it all up in my pocket It's my bar of chocolate Give it to me now! I want a party with roomfuls of laughter Ten thousand ton of ice cream And if I don't get the things I am after I'm going to scream! I want the works, I want the whole works! Presents and prizes and sweets and surprises in all shapes and sizes, And now! Don't care how I want it now! |

I've made me a fortune (That fortune made ten) Been headlined And profiled Again and again But something was missing (I never quite knew) That something was someone - But who?My speeches are greeted With thunderous acclaim At two universities Bearing my name Yes, something was missing Each timeI got through That something was someone - But who?Who could that someone be? How could she make it known? Who would need me for me? Need me for me alone? he world was my oyster - But where was the pearl? Who dreamed I could find it Yes something was missing - But dreams can come true That something Is no one But youWho would need me for me ? Need me for me alone The world was my oyster But where was the pearl ? Who'd dream I would find it In one little girl ? Yes, something was missing But dreams do come true That something is no one.....but you. |

There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far Behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then oh, why can't I If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow Why, oh, why can't I |

Let me love tonight Pardon me from soulless searching Spare me for another with a see-through heart A heart as empty as my hands to be full Let me love tonight Come good fortune Let me feel her skin Don't deny for which I've hungered Let me taste her mouth only slightly parted With lips as full as mine have been denied Let me love tonight Come good fortune Let me say goodbye With no remorse Thoughtless, callous As lovely as she was she'll remain obscured By the morning sun But fortune come 'fore the day is done Let me love tonight |

When was I supposed to make my entrance
How was I to know I had a chance Now here's a guy who really thought he had it all My heart was holding up the wall so I could dance The last of my romances has concluded Wars I've lost and loved have thus been fair The battle scars I've gained have all alluded To a decorated soldier of despair Baby I just had to see you Your face, your smile Baby I just had to see you Just for a while I ran from love to love and lied with laughter Not knowing that at some point I'd collide With someone who would be my ever after And happily would stay here by my side Baby I just had to see you Your face, your smile Baby I just had to see you Just for a while |

If we borrow words
They'll have to be returned Keeping them would surely be remiss The stars have acquiesced By giving us this night Let's just kiss Intellect and thought Are good enough for some Why waste time with all there is to miss In our quiet space We'll babysit the moon Let's just kiss Nothing to erase As the hour slows Nothing to be judged or tried untrue Handed us a case What a case to close It could take all night before we do We won't have to try Somehow we'll just know A thousand years before us led to this When we're finally through We'll usher in the sun Let's just kiss |

Next to the highway -- a noisy place
Will anyone ever want me Tiny place next to the highway Could anyone ever want me I don't have a car My job pays poor So much love in my heart Looks as if I may have lost my allure But I've got much love in my heart My appetite for love's voracious Will anyone entertain me It's no wonder my bed seems spacious Could anyone entertain me Is it possible For two of us To have much love in our hearts How it would be Fortuitous To find that much love in a heart The heat of winter's chill on my face Burning that's deep in my chest It's cold and familiar in second place Knowing I've done my best The certain cause for my ambition To dress an unyielding sadness Flirting with an absent addition To simmer away my madness The curb that I climb Is much too steep To carry that heavy a heart I'll stay where I stand And just try to keep Love in that heavy a heart Away from the highway -- a quiet place Will I ever find my true love Majestic and far from the highway Could I have had my last love I ride in a plane My job pays high Still so much love in my heart At least I'll be sure of my place in the sky With all this love in my heart |

Just one more" This time I ain't feelin so fine Whatcha say we get to downin Don't throw me just forget about the line I wish I could be drownin Sweet water... I ain't seen her in a while I don't know if I can face her I know she can always make me smile If I can't outrun my chaser I used to be a boozehound Buzzin round midtown Gettin loaded Tryin to get a number Feelin mighty good "Is this guy bothering you?" "No, no, I was just..." All my life there ain't never been a drought That's probably been my downfall Even though, you know, I might be passed out I won't drop the high ball I know where the river flows And the lives that it devours Ain't it great I can touch my nose But I can't smell the flowers I used to be a boozehound Stumblin uptown Gettin higher Fallin off the barstool Rememberin where I left the floor "Say buddy, you need some help" "No, I'm cool..." Come and get me you can be my Boogeyman You can catch me on the rebound You may not fly like the Candyman can But it's safer on the ground Just one more trip to the fun house They'll smother me with foam See, my brother, that's the one house That I can call my home |

I wish you could have lived my life
No way to know The fun I had I ride in limousines But it means nothing I roll down the tinted glass To see outside I like to see how much I pass On my roller coaster ride It's hard to remember Seems I was never young I wish you could have been right there My future was the end of time And all the girls I needed Never knew me I've fallen deep inside my well Without a pail And if you come to rescue me I'll tell my fairy tale It's hard to remember Seems I was never young What curtains fall On childhood stages That never rise To show the crowd Things I drag Throughout the ages Never seem To speak out loud I wish that you were here right now I guess I passed my chance away A pallid grey is mostly what I see now I live my life And never stop to Close the doors And all time I never thought Of living yours It's hard to remember Seems I was never young |

Mama told me not to try to be nobody
I listened to her Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody Looka here Savin money's hard when you can't save your soul I'll get through it Tryin to dig myself out of this mighty hole Listen to what I say Got my mind on the matter Sure as I tell ya Now you know that's right I look down at my hands and I see labor burns It's a part of livin Keepin my feet on the ground while the world turns It's all on me Got my mind on the matter Sure as I tell ya Now you know that's right |

Take me... Take me
To the city beneath the sea The river will wrap around me And the music will let me be You can find me on the neutral ground On the corner of Fleur-de-lis Please... somebody won't you take me To the city beneath the sea Take me... Take me Where the night outshines the day You can hear the tap of soda caps And smell the toufe You can fais do do with Jacamo Or fi na ne 'till three Please... somebody won't you take me To the city beneath the sea How... How long Can I stay away How... How long Can I stay away Take me... Take me To the Meters and the Mardi Gras They betcha where you got your shoes And they eat their oysters raw Pork Chops dances all night long But he won't dance for free Please... somebody won't you take me To the city beneath the sea |

How soon I will delight
How straight and good Scorched by vibrant core I'll sprinkle scrapings Upon the lapping blue No sooner than I return Will my fruit turn the stink into sweet The blue into yellow and green Time home will quicken And time spent be saved The dust from my duty Will remain in my satchel I think... forever Now I'll return to save my race |

And now the purple dusk of twilight time
Steals across the meadow of my heart High up in the sky the little stars climb Always reminding me that we're apartYou wandered down the lane and far away Leaving me a song that will not die Love is now a stardust of yesterday The music of the years gone bySometimes I wonder why I spend The lonely nights dreaming of a song The melody haunts my reverie And I am once again with youWhen our love was new And each kiss an inspiration But that was long ago And now my consolation Is in the stardust of a songBeside the garden wall When stars are bright You are in my arms The nightingale tells his fairy tale Of paradise where roses grewThough I dream in vain In my heart it will remain My stardust melody The memory of love's refrain |

I have often walked down this street before
But the pavement always stayed beneath my feet before All at once am I several stories high Knowing I'm on the street where you liveAre there lilac trees in the heart of town? Can you hear a lark in any other part of town? Does enchantment pour out of every door? No, it's just on the street where you liveAnd oh, the towering feeling just to know Somehow you are near The overpowering feeling that any second You may suddenly appearPeople stop and stare, they don't bother me For there's nowhere else on earth that I would rather be Let the time go by, I don't care if I can be here On the street where you live |

Oh, step aside, y'all ornery tenderfeet Cause I'm about to sing my song I'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande But my legs ain't bowed, and my cheeks ain't tan Well I'm a cowboy who never saw a cow Never roped a steer 'cause I don't know how And I sure ain't fixin' to startin now Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande And I learned to ride before I learned to stand Well I'm a ridin fool who is up to date I know every trail in the Lone Star State 'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8 Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayLook out, I'm gonna show y'all how to ride now Here we goI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande And I come to town just to hear the band I know all the songs that the cowboys know 'Bout the big corral where the dogies go 'Cause I learned them all on the radio Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayNow my story's almost done, so listen up! You ain't got much longer nowI'm an old cowhand from the Rio Grande Where the west is wild round the borderland Where the buffalo roam around the zoo And the indian make you a rug or two And the old Bar-X is the Bar-be-cue Oh, yippee-i-o-ki-ay, yippee-i-o-ki-ayI'm just an old cowhand... |

South American stories tell of a girl who's quite a dream
The beauty of her race Though you'll doubt all the stories and think the tales are just a bit extreme Wait till you see her faceOoh, Tangerine, she is all they claim With her eyes of night and lips as bright as flame Tangerine, when she dances by Senoritas stare and caballeros sighAnd I've seen toasts to Tangerine Raised in every bar across the Argentine Yes, she's got them all on the run But her heart belongs to just one Her heart belongs to Tangerine |

Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble
He rambled all around, in and out of town Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble He rambled till the butcher cut him downHe rambled through the city He rambled through the street Little ol lady pass him said "Look at the market meat!"Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble He rambled all around, in and out of town Didn't he ramble, didn't he ramble He rambled till the butcher cut him down |

Lazybones, sleeping in the sun
How you 'spect to get your day's work done? Never get your day's work done Sleeping in the new day's sunLazybones, sleepin in the shade How you 'spect to get your cornmeal made? You'll never get your cornmeal made Just sleepin in the evenin shadeWhen 'taters need spraying I bet you keep praying The bugs fall off the vine And when you go fishin, I bet you keep wishin The fish won't grab your lineLazybones, loafing through the day How you 'spect to get a dime that way? Never make a dime that way Never heard a word I say |

I look at them shuffle and the shuffle come down Ramblin' and scramblin' and a-headin' for town Hoppin' and boppin' and a-buzzin' around Happily awaitin' at the station I look at that train number 709 Hoppin' and boppin' and arrivin' on time Who do you think is about to arrive The band they call the Dixieland FiveThey're gonna play that muskrat ramble tune Like the way you never heard it played Get ready for the big parade All together now - one and two Join that happy crowd Tellin' me that ramblin' scramblin' muskrat song Come on, ramble along Yeah |
