If I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats All engrossed in mental chatter Showin’ where your mind is at While relating to each other How strong your love can be By resisting all the good times with each groovy chick we see I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so I’m a man yes I am and I can’t help but love you so ---

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, And since we’ve no place to go: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! It doesn’t show signs of stopping, and I’ve brought some corn for popping, The lights are turned way down low: Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! ---

It’s a sign of the times That your love for me is getting so much stronger It’s a sign of the times And I know that I won’t have to wait much longer You’ve changed a lot somehow From the one I used to know For when you hold me now I feel like you never want to let me go ---

Hello darkness, my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again, Because a vision softly creeping, Left its seeds while I was sleeping, And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence. In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone, 'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence. ---

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street. Chicago, New York, Detroit and it’s all on the same street. Your typical city involved in a typical daydream Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings. Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans; New York’s got the ways and means; but just wont let you be. Most of the cats that you meet on the street speak of true love, Most of the time they’re sittin’ and cryin’ at home. One of these days they know they gotta get goin’ Out of the door and down on the streets all alone. Truckin’, like the doo-dah man, once told me you got to play your hand Sometimes the cards ain’t worth a dime, if you don’t lay 'em down, Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip it’s been. ---

Well, there’s thirteen hundred and fifty-two guitar pickers in Nashville And they can pick more notes than the number of ants on a Tennessee ant hill There’s thirteen hundred and fifty-two guitar cases in Nashville And anyone that unpacks his guitar can play twice as better than I will Nashville cats Play clean as country water Nashville cats Play wild as mountain dew Nashville cats Been playin’ since they’s babies Nashville cats Get work before they’re two ---

I’ve long since retired and my son’s moved away I called him up just the other day I said, “I’d like to see you if you don’t mind” He said, “I’d love to, dad, if I could find the time You see, my new job’s a hassle, and the kid’s got the flu But it’s sure nice talking to you, dad It’s been sure nice talking to you” And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me He’d grown up just like me My boy was just like me And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon “When you coming home, dad?” “I don’t know when But we’ll get together then You know we’ll have a good time then” ---

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed It rolled off the table, and under a bush And soon my poor meatball, was nothing but mush.
