THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME
I had a dream, oh now

Crazy dream, oh-hoh

Anything I wanted to know

Any place I needed to go

Hear my song, yeah

People don't you listen now, sing along, oh

You don't know what you're missing now

Any little song that you know

Everything that's small has to grow

It's all growing, push push, yeah
Na na na na

California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain

Honolulu starbright

The song remains the same, oooh, oooh, ohh-hoh
Here we go
Here we go
Are you gonna Are ya, are ya gonna go now Are ya gonna go now Oooh oooh

Sing out Hare Hare, ooh, dance the Hoochie Koo

City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding through

Sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee

Ah

THE RAIN SONG
It is the springtime of my loving

The second season I am to know-ooh-oh-ooh-oh

You are the sunlight in my growing

So little warmth I felt before

It isn't hard to feel me glowing

I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles

Flee from me Keepers of the Gloom

Speak to me only with your eyes

It is to you I give this tune

Ain't so hard to recognize, oh oh oh

These things are clear to all from time to time, ooooh
Oh hoh, oh hoh

Talk talk talk talk

Hey, I've felt the coldness of my winter

I've never thought it would ever go

I've cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us

But I know that I love you so, ohhhhh, whoa

But I know that I love you so, whoa

These are the seasons of emotion

And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us, upon us all a little rain must fall
Just a little rain, oh, oh
Ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah.

OVER THE HILLS AND FAR AWAY
Hey lady, you got the love I need

Maybe more than enough

Oh darlin' darlin', darlin'

Walk a while with me

Oh, you've got so much, so much, so much
Many have I loved

Many times been bitten

Many times I've gazed

Along the open road

Many times I've lied

Many times I've listened

Many times I've wondered

How much there is to know

Many dreams come true

And some have silver linings

I live for my dreams

And a pocketful of gold

Mellow is the man

Who knows what he's been missing

Many many men

Can't see the open road

Many is a word

That only leaves you guessing

Guessing 'bout a thing

You really ought to know, hoh ohh ohh ohh
You really ought to know, ohh

I really ought to know, ohhh, you know I should, you know

I should, you know I should know

THE CRUNGE
I wanna tell you ‘bout my good friend

He sure is a good friend and

I ain't gonna tell you where he comes from, but

If I tell you you wont come again, oh, hey

I ain't gonna tell you nothin', but I do, well, but I know, yeah

Now let me tell you about my girl

I open up a newspaper and what do I see, ahh, ah

Ah ah, see my girl, ah ah, looking at me

Ooh, and when she walks, she walks

And lemme tell ya

When she talks, she talks

And when she looks me in my eye

She's my baby, Lord, I wanna make her mine

Oh, tell me baby what you want me to do

And you want me to love you, love some other man, ooh

They ain't gonna call me Mister Pitiful, no

Aah, I don't need no respect from nobody, no no

Ooh yeah, no no, ah, ah

I ain't gonna tell you nothing I ain't gonna no more, no

She's my baby let me tell you that I love her so and

And, she's the woman I really wanna love

And let me tell you more, oooh oooh

She's my baby lemme tell ya she lives next door

She's the one a woman the one, a woman that I know

I ain't gon', I ain't gon'

I ain't gonna tell, I ain't gonna tell you one thing

That you really ought to know, but

She's my lover baby and I love her so and

She's the one that really makes me whirl and twirl

And she's the kind of lover that makes me fill the whole world and

She's the one who really makes me jump and shout, ohh

She's the kind of girl--I know what it's all about

Take it home, take it, take it, take it
Ah, excuse me

Ah will you excuse me I'm just trying to find the bridge

Has anybody seen the bridge

Please
Have you seen the bridge
I ain't seen the bridge
Where's that confounded bridge

DANCING DAYS
Dancing days are here again

As the summer evenings grow

I got my flower, I got my power

I got a woman who knows

I said it's all right

You know it's all right

I guess it's all in my heart

You'll be my only, my one and only

Is that the way it should start?

Crazy ways are evident

In the way you're wearing your clothes

Sippin' booze is precedent

As the evening starts to glow

You know it's all right

I said it's all right

You know it's all in my heart

You'll be my only, my one and only

Is that the way it should start?, dig

You told your mama I'd get you home

But you didn't say I got no car

I saw a lion, he was standing alone

With a tadpole in a jar

You know it's all right

I said it's all right

I guess it's all in my heart heart heart

You'll be my only, my one and only

Is that the way it should start?

So, dancing days are here again

As the summer evenings grow

You are my flower, you are my power

You are my woman who knows

I said it's all right

You know it's all right

I know it's all in my heart

You'll be my only yes, my one and only, yes

Is that the way it should start?

I know it is all

NO QUARTER
Close the door, put out the light
Know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true
They carry news that must get through
They choose the path where no one goes
They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter.

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through
To build a dream for me and you
They choose the path that no one goes
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter

They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
(Ah, the pain without quarter)
They ask no quarter
(Ooh, yeah, when I'm callin', callin', callin')
They give no quarter, ah
The dogs of doom are howlin' more
Give me quarter
I hear the dogs of doom a-howlin' more

THE OCEAN
We've done four already, but now we're steady,
and then they went: one, two, three, four.

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foot's outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late for the hellhound headin' forth.

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free and play for me and play a whole lot more, more
Singing about good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way.

I don't know.

La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahh
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lah
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lahh
La la la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lah.

Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains, but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.

Oh, yeah
Sure is fine
I blow my mind
When I feel so good now, a-yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, it's so good!
