Tu-re-lu-re-lu, Pata-patapan,  
We must play our music well  
To the savior sing Noel.  
Patapan, Patapan.

It’s a long way to Tipperary,  
It’s a long way to go.  
It’s a long way to Tipperary  
To the sweetest girl I know!  
Goodbye Piccadilly,Farewell Leicester Square,  
It’s a long long way to Tipperary,  
But my heart’s right there.

A fish-like thing appeared among the annelids one day;  
It hadn’t any parapods or setae to display.  
It hadn’t any eyes or jaws, or ventral nervous chord,  
But it had a lot of gill slits and it had a notochord.

It’s a long way from amphioxus  
It’s a long way to us…  
It’s a long way from amphioxus  
To the meanest human cuss.  
It’s good-bye, fins and gill slits,  
Hello, lungs and hair!  
It’s a long, long way from amphioxus,  
But we all came from there!

Flow it, show it  
Long as God can grow, my hair

I want long, straight, curly, fuzzy, snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty  
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shining, gleaming, streaming, flaxen, waxen  
Knotted, polka dotted, twisted, beaded, braided  
Powered, flowered and confettied  
Bangled, tangled, spangled and spahettied

Oh say, can you see my eyes if you can  
Then my hair’s too short  
Down with here, down to there  
Down till there, down to where it’s stuck by itself

I almost cut my hair, it was happened just the other day.  
It was gettin’ kinda long, I could’ve said it was in my way.  
But I didn’t and I wonder why, I feel like letting my freak flag fly,  
And I feel like I owe it to someone.

So let them say your hair’s too long  
'Cause I don’t care, with you I can’t go wrong

My boyfriend got a Beatle haircut  
Oh unhappy day!  
My boyfriend got a Beatle haircut  
Now I can’t chase the girls away  
Once he was mine all mine alone  
We’d talk all day on the telephone  
Now I can’t, his phone is busy  
All the girls keep asking “Where is he?”  
(Asking “Where is he?”)  
My boyfriend got a Beatle haircut  
So, to keep him true  
I got a Beatle haircut too

She took me out on the blackboard jungle  
Put me straight in a hurricane  
She hypnotized my eyes with her silver heeled ways  
If I could sing like Paul McCartney and get funky like Etta James  
I’d never change, I’d never change  
I’d never change silver heeled ways

And you know, he’s the devil.  
He’s everything that I ain’t.  
Hiding intentions of evil,  
Under the smile of a saint.  
All he’s good for is getting in trouble,  
And shiftin’ his share of the blame.  
And some people swear he’s my double:  
And some even say we’re the same.  
But the silver-tongued devil’s got nothing to lose,  
I’ll only live 'til I die.  
We take our own chances and pay our own dues,  
Ah ha ha ha.

The silver tongued devil and I.

Time passes softly and I’m a day older,  
But still, I’m living days gone by–  
Ashes to ashes, the rain’s turning colder  
Finding tomorrow, the ashes, the rain and I.

Not a day goes by  
Not a single day  
But you’re somehow part of my life  
And it looks like you’ll stay

I was alone, I took a ride  
I didn’t know what I would find there  
Another road where maybe I  
Could see another kind of mind there  
Ooh, then I suddenly see you  
Ooh, did I tell you I need you  
Every single day of my life

You didn’t run, you didn’t hide  
And had you gone, you knew in time  
We’d meet again for I had told you  
Ooh, you were meant to be near me  
Ooh, and I want you to hear me  
Say we’ll be together every day  
Got to get you into my life

Mid Pleasures and palaces though I may roam,  
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home;  
A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there,  
Which, seek thro’ the world, is ne’er met with elsewhere. Home.

Know when to fold 'em  
Know when to walk away
