when i was a lad, I was a little bit shy,
sonething came along & caught my eye,
when i heard the jazz band strike up,
thats when i had my mid made up.
Now i’m getting older, & everythings in full swing,
now i’m getting bolder,
Man, gotta do that thing

I used to walk alone with the rest
now of got something on my own
now you, gotta a little something new,
broke away somehow
Thats why i’m swingin it
I got my own thing now

children put away yr toys,
or yr. little childrens games
let the jazz band make some noise
step up ladies & watch out boys
mirror on the wall, whos the hot band in the hall
let everybody sing
get on out there & do yr. thing

(put a lid on it)
What's the you say?
(Put a lid on it)
Oh man no way!
(Put a lid down on it and everything will be allright)
Don't hand me that
I’m alright Jack
(Put a lid on it before somebody starts a fight)
Every time I turn it loose
You cats come down and cook my goose.
When I start I just can't stop.
(But if you keep this up you're gonna blow yer top)
Too late this time
I got to get what's mine
Well grab your drink and clear a space
I think it's time to torch this place
Now the girl's in overdrive
(But some of your pals want to stay alive)
Put a lid on it
Save it for another night

You come to me at twighlight
The soft summer breeze, the sand, the waving hair
But how am I to know?
This feeling has no name.
Each morning I dream of twighlight
and wait for your glow
down from where the moonflowers grow.
Far beneath the sea
awaits a home for me.

I've been searching all over for someone
I can tell my troubles to.
Searching all the wide world over
Is It you?
Are you the kind of man that marries
then gets his mind on something new?
You've got to let me know
I'm all alone
Is it you, baby?
I confide in you
Seem to understand my point of view
I moan and sign
and you can't understand why.
I've been searching all over for trouble
I could get myself into.

there's a man going around in this town
selling lies.
He's the bad businessman
and the mess he sells is bad
and the mess he leaves is sad.
He's a clown
that's going to get bounced around He's a player
but every time he deals a round
it's a bad hand
What a bad man.
Beware of what he sells.
It's shooting you straight to hell.
"Tain't no bottom in that wishing well.
Bad businessman.

Mama never told you
how you were s'posed to treat a girl.
Papa never told you, now you're all alone
out in the world.
Sirens are screaming
inside the winding-sheets are pale.br> Devils are dreaming of a Blue Angel.
Now I lay me down to sleep
But troubled dreams are all I find.
Pray the lord my sould to keep.
Pray so I won't lose my mind.
Streetlights come streaming
On wings tonight I'll soon set sail
Devils are dreaming of the Blue Angel.
Your momma's going to take it hard
You always were your momma's boy
You're lying in the graveyard
Now you're not your momma's joy.
Silence is screaming
I'll bat an eye and cast my spell
Devils are dreaming of a Blue Angel.

She:
Anywhere old Prince Nez goes
that's where I go too.
He clears up a stormy sky
whenever he's by my side
Everything's nearer
Everything's clearer
Everything's so divine
I don't care what momma says,
Prince Nez I'm going to make you mine!

He:
Anywhere old Prince Nez goes
that's where she goes too.
Always so debonair
Flirting with such a flair
Everything's hazy
Everything's crazy
Everything's up in the air.
My girl says she loves Prince Nez
but I really don't care.

People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet
This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
And baked into cakes which are passed around
In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement , job skill and brain
And all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side.
Now the D and A and the M and the N and the A
and the T and the I-O-N
Loose your face
Loose your name
And get fitted for a suit of flames.

All the time
I'm finding ways to make things Fall in line
I know
How tricky things can be.
But I really do believe that
You are mine
And all the stars are there
Before us
Listen here
Some things are meant to be
Try to take it slow
Try to loose control
But I'll tell you what the trick is
What you get is what you had
To give away
When I learned I found my eyes
Were opened
Long ago, I had a dream
That quickly faded
Goes to show
How tricky dreams can be
But wouldn't you agree that
Those who know
Will whisper when they see us
Walking, "There's a love that's always meant to be."
