He’s free as the breeze He’s always at ease He lives in the jungle and hangs by his knees As he swings through the trees Without a trapeze in his B.V.D.s He’s got a union card and he’s practicing hard To play, the guitar, gonna be a big star Yeah he’s gonna go far And carry moonbeams home in a jar He ordered Chet’s guitar course C.O.D. Makes A and E and he’s working on B Digs C&W and R&B and me and the chimpanzees agree That one day soon he’ll be a celebrity Get it, get it, get it. Gitarzan, he’s a gitar man He’s all you can stand Give him a hand, gitarzan ---

I wonder if those changes Have left a scar on you Like all the burning hoops of fire That you and I passed through You’re a bluebird on a telegraph line I hope you’re happy now Well with the wind of change coming down your way girl You’ll make it back somehow And love lies bleeding in my hands Oh it’s hell to think of you with another man I was playing rock-n-roll and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn’t hold you So I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands ---

Like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir I have tried in my way to be free. Like a worm on a hook, Like a knight from some old fashioned book I have saved all my ribbons for thee. If I, if I have been unkind, I hope that you can just let it go by. If I, if I have been untrue I hope you know it was never to you. ---

After two days in the desert sun My skin began to turn red After three days in the desert fun I was looking at a river bed And the story it told of a river that flowed Made me sad to think it was dead You see I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name It felt good to be out of the rain In the desert you can remember your name 'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain ---

'cause it’s oh, so peaceful here There’s no one bending over my shoulder Nobody breathing in my ear Oh, so peaceful here In the evening shadows are callin’ me and the dew settles in my mind And I think of friends in the yesterday when my plans were giggled in rhyme I had a son while on the run and his love brought a tear to my eye And maybe some day he’ll up and say “We had a pretty nice time”, oh, oh, oh, my ---

My train of thought was broken by a sudden burst of laughter Something badly needed to brighten up the chores Seemed old Mrs. Bailey had accidentally fell In the water being used to scrub the floors Now Mrs. Bailey was the meanest matron at the home She believed in lots of work with little play And we laughed till we bent double Though we knew we’d get in trouble But trouble’s all we had at evening shade Now evening shade was where they claim to teach you understanding To teach you love and keep you off the streets And all the kids that live here are said to be a problem Juvenile delinquents so to speak ---

One early winter’s morn When the ground was white with snow, Bill Bailey went back to his love he had nowhere else to go, To escape that cold, so he walked up bold; She was glad to have him there, he was glad to be there too, So she went next door to a lady friend and she said: “'Tis cert’nly true, I ain’t got no blues but I’ve got good news.” She went down to the bank And drew out ev’ry cent She even paid the landlord in advance a whole year’s rent, Just to let Bill see, that her money was free; She bought him ham and eggs and a suit of clothes as well, She gave them to Bill Bailey, now that darkey’s living swell, then she advertised, “don’t you be surprised.” “Bill Bailey come home dis mornin’ soon, I’m gwine to love him till I die, Makes no diff’rence to me how Bailey carries on, Ev’rything he wants I’m gwine to buy, I’ll never drive him away from my door, I’ll watch him so no more from me he’ll roam, I ain’t got time to stay, I’ll do no work this day, 'cause I’m happy since Bill Bailey came back home.” ---

Some people stay far away from the door If there’s a chance of it opening up They hear a voice in the hall outside And hope that it just passes by Some people live with the fear of a touch And the anger of having been a fool They will not listen to anyone So nobody tells them a lie I know you’re only protecting yourself I know you’re thinking of somebody else Someone who hurt you But I’m not above Making up for the love You’ve been denying you could ever feel I’m not above doing anything To restore your faith if I can Some people see through the eyes of the old Before they ever get a look at the young I’m only willing to hear you cry Because I am an innocent man I am an innocent man ---

Cold, no I cant believe your heart is cold Maybe slow to warm from a long, lonely night But just let someone start believing in you, let him hold out his hand Let him touch you and watch what happens One someone who can look in your eyes, and see into your heart Let him find you and watch what happens ---

stealin’ down an alley on a cold dark night i see a halo in the rain 'round a street light i stop and look and listen to the sound as the raindrops penetrate the silence all around alone, i gaze into the glistening street the distant thunder echoing my heartbeat urging me on to a secret goal away from the light from this lamp on a pole so i turn slip away into the rain drifting like a spirit through the shadows in the lane clutching the tools of my trade in my hand an old box of matches and a gasoline can ---

All along it was a fever A cold sweat hot-headed believer I threw my hands in the air, said, “Show me something,” He said, “If you dare, come a little closer.” Round and around and around and around we go Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know. Not really sure how to feel about it. Something in the way you move Makes me feel like I can’t live without you. It takes me all the way. I want you to stay It’s not much of a life you’re living It’s not just something you take–it’s given Round and around and around and around we go Oh now, tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know.
