I wanna be loved by you, just you,  
And nobody else but you,  
I wanna be loved by you, alone!  
Boop-boop-a-doop!  
I wanna kissed by you, just you,  
Nobody else but you,  
I wanna be kissed by you, alone!  
Boop-boop, I couldn’t aspire,  
To anything higher,  
Than, filled with desire,  
To make you my own!  
Boop-boop-a-doop, boop-boop-a-doop!

Your love has lifted me higher  
Than I’ve ever been lifted before.  
So keep it up, quench my desire  
And I’ll be at your side forevermore.

</div>

I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,  
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more,  
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry,  
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.

```
Love lifted me!
Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
```

Imagine a perfect beach  
Without a mermaid  
Imagine a perfect hideaway  
Without a time

Ocean Soul

Imagine a perfect Eden  
Without a friend without a serpent

Ocean Soul  
Lonely Soul

“Feeling lonely and content at the same time,  
I believe,  
Is a rare kind of happiness”

Ocean Soul  
Lonely Soul

Gold stainless nail,  
Torn through the distance of man as they regard the summit.  
Cold reigning king,  
Shelter the women that sing  
As they produce the movement.  
River running right on over,  
Then over my head. Outboard, river.

Bluetail, tailfly,  
Luther, in time,  
Suntower, asking,  
Cover, lover,  
June cast, moon fast,  
As one changes,  
Heart gold, leaver,  
Soul mark, mover,  
Christian, changer,  
Called out, saviour,  
Moon gate, climber,  
Turn round, glider.

When I was young, I used to wait  
On the boss and give him his plate  
And pass him the bottle when he got dry  
And brush away the blue tail fly

Jimmy, crack corn and I don’t care  
Jimmy, crack corn and I don’t care  
Jimmy, crack corn and I don’t care  
My master’s gone away

How much ground could a groundhog hog  
If a groundhog could hog ground?  
If he could hog ground,  
he would hog ground  
I know he surely would!  
But, how much ground would a groundhog hog

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck  
If a woodchuck, could chuck wood?  
If she could chuck wood,  
she would chuck wood  
I know she surely would!  
But, how much wood could a woodchuck chuck

Moses supposes his toeses are Roses,

This bed of Rose’s that I lay on  
Where I was taught to be a man  
This bed of Rose’s where I’m livin’  
Is the only kind of life I’ll understand

She was a handsome woman just thirty-five  
Who was spoken to in town by very few  
She managed a late evening business  
Like most of the town wished they could do

And I learned all the things that a man should know  
From a woman not approved of, I suppose  
She died knowing that i really loved her  
From life’s bramble bush I picked a rose

But when we grow up,  
Some day I’ll show up,  
Just to prove I was telling the truth,  
I’ll kiss you, too, then I’ll hand to you  
This rose and a Baby Ruth

We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching  
We are the dinosaurs  
WHADDAYA THINK OF THAT?  
We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching  
We are the dinosaurs, we make the earth flat  
We make the earth flat

We stop and eat our food, when we’re in the mood  
We stop and eat our food on the ground  
We stop and eat our food, when we’re in the mood  
We stop and eat our food and then we march around

'Cause we are the dinosaurs…

I’m gonna eat on Thanksgiving day.

I’m gonna eat on Thanksgiving day.

Christmas time is here, by golly,  
Disapproval would be folly,  
Deck the halls with hunks of holly,  
Fill the cup and don’t say “when.”  
Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens,  
Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens,  
Even though the prospect sickens,  
Brother, here we go again.

A&P has provided me  
With the world’s smallest turkey  
Already in the oven nice and hot  
Oh damn, guess what I forgot?

So on with the boots back into the snow  
To the only all night grocery  
When what to my wondering eyes should appear  
In the line it’s that guy I’ve been chasing all year

Boots and boys (boots and boys)  
They bring me so much joy (bring me joy)  
(I gotta say it)  
I wear 'em both so pretty as I walk in the city  
(Watch out)  
Boots and Boys  
Give me boots and boys
