I’ve lost and I’ve gained and while I was thinking  
You cut off my hands when I wanted to twist  
If you know how to dance to Boney Maroney  
He’s doing the ballet on both of his wrists

Say our love be a flame, not an ember,  
Say it’s me that you want to dismember.  
Blacken my eye,  
Set fire to my tie,  
As we dance to the masochism tango.

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.

Tomorrow, tomorrow  
We’ll start the day tomorrow with a song or two  
Tomorrow, tomorrow  
We’ll start the day tomorrow with a smile for you

Til then I hope you’re feeling happy  
Til then I hope your day is snappy

Tomorrow, tomorrow  
It soon will be tomorrow and be our day  
We will say a very happy tomorrow to you

Don’t stop, thinking about tomorrow,  
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here,  
It’ll be, better than before,  
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away,  
Now it looks as if they’re here to stay.  
Oh, I believe in yesterday.

If you want money in your pocket and a top hat on your head  
A hot meal on your table, and a blanket on your bed  
Well today is grey skies  
Tomorrow is tears  
You’ll have to wait 'til yesterday is here

‘Cause yesterday’s got nothin’ for me  
Old pictures that I’ll always see  
Time just fades the pages  
In my book of memories  
Prayers in my pocket  
And no hand in destiny  
I’ll keep on movin’ along  
With no time to plant my feet

Time it was  
And what a time it was, it was  
A time of innocence  
A time of confidences

Long ago it must be  
I have a photograph  
Preserve your memories  
They’re all that’s left you.

Memories light the corners of my mind,  
Misty water-colored memories  
Of the way we were.

Here comes the setting sun (the setting sun)  
The seasons are passing one by one  
So gather moments while you may  
Collect the dreams you dream today  
Remember, will you remember  
The times of your life?

You and I we two alone  
In this terrace by the sea  
The sun is going down  
And in your eyes  
I see the changing colors of the sea

I do like to sit beside the seaside.  
I do like to sit beside the sea.  
I like to sit beside the side I like to sit beside,  
Beside the seaside,  
By the beautiful sea.

Some folks are born made to wave the flag  
Ooh, they’re red, white and blue  
And when the band plays “Hail to the chief”  
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord  
It ain’t me, it ain’t me, I ain’t no senator’s son, son  
It ain’t me, it ain’t me; I ain’t no fortunate one, no

Would you believe this man has gone as far  
As tearing Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars?  
And he voted for George McGoveren for president!  
He’s one of them long-hair hippie type pinko fags.  
I bet he’s even got a Commie flag  
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage.
