Begin the day with a friendly voice  
A companion unobtrusive  
Plays that song that so elusive  
And the magic music makes your morning mood

Good morning, good morning  
Good morning, good morning  
Good morning ah

Nothing to do to save his life call his wife in  
Nothing to say but what a day how’s your boy been  
Nothing to do it’s up to you  
I’ve got nothing to say but it’s OK

Good morning, good morning  
Good morning ah

Wednesday morning at five o’clock as the day begins  
Silently closing her bedroom door  
Leaving the note that she hoped would say more  
She goes downstairs to the kitchen clutching her handkerchief  
Quietly turning the backdoor key  
Stepping outside she is free

She (We gave her most of our lives)  
Is leaving (Sacrificed most of our lives)  
Home (We gave her everything money could buy)  
She’s leaving home after living alone  
For so many years (Bye bye)

You should know  
That I love you a lot  
But I just can’t date a dude with a vag

When we fell in love  
You made my heart drop  
And you had me thinking 'bout you nonstop  
But you cry 'bout this and whine about that  
When you grow a pear [sic]  
You can call me back

Holly came from Miami, F.L.A.  
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.  
Plucked her eyebrows on the way  
Shaved her legs and then he was a she  
She says, “Hey, babe,  
Take a walk on the wild side.”  
Said, “Hey, honey,  
Take a walk on the wild side.”

Candy came from out on the Island  
In the back room she was everybody’s darling  
But she never lost her head  
Even when she was giving head  
She says, “Hey, babe,  
Take a walk on the wild side.”  
Said, “Hey, babe,  
Take a walk on the wild side.”  
And the colored girls go  
“Doo do doo do doo do do doo…”

The wild boys are calling  
On their way back from the fire  
In august moon’s surrender to  
A dust cloud on the rise  
Wild boys fallen far from glory  
Reckless and so hungered  
On the razors edge you trail  
Because there’s murder by the roadside  
In a sore afraid new world

They tried to break us,  
Looks like they’ll try again

Wild boys never lose it  
Wild boys never chose this way  
Wild boys never close your eyes  
Wild boys always shine

I spent all my money on a big old fancy car  
For these bright-eyed honies  
Oh, yeah, you know who you are  
Keep me up 'til the sun is high  
'Til the birds start calling my name  
I’m addicted and I don’t know why  
Guess I’ve always been this way

All these roads steer me wrong  
But I still drive them all night long, all night long

All you young wild girls  
You make a mess of me  
Yeah, you young wild girls  
You’ll be the death of me, the death of me  
All you young wild girls  
No matter what you do  
Yeah, you young wild girls  
I’ll always come back to you, come back to you

I want to run  
I want to hide  
I want to tear down the walls  
That hold me in silence  
I want to reach out  
And touch the flame  
Where the streets have no name

I want to feel, sunlight on my face  
See that dust cloud disappear without a trace  
I want to take shelter from the poison rain

Where the streets have no name  
Where the streets have no name  
Where the streets have no name

Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got.  
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name,  
and they’re always glad you came.  
You wanna be where you can see,  
our troubles are all the same  
You wanna be where everybody knows  
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,  
people are all the same,  
You wanna go where everybody knows  
your name.

Please allow me to introduce myself  
I’m a man of wealth and taste  
I’ve been around for a long, long year  
Stole many a man’s soul and faith  
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ  
Had his moment of doubt and pain  
Made damn sure that Pilate  
Washed his hands and sealed his fate  
Pleased to meet you  
Hope you guess my name  
But what’s puzzling you  
Is the nature of my game

If I promise you the moon and stars, would you believe it?  
Games people play in the middle of the night.

Blue moon  
You saw me standing alone  
Without a dream in my heart  
Without a love of my own

Blue moon  
You knew just what I was there for  
You heard me saying a prayer for  
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me  
The only one my arms will hold  
I heard somebody whisper please adore me  
And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold

Say it ain’t so Joe, say it ain’t so  
Joe Polite and well spoken  
Well heeded and well sane  
They know they’re alive  
When they start to feel pain

Ooh za za  
Ooh staying up all night  
Up all night  
Ooh za za  
Ooh staying up all night

Well, my friends, the time has come  
(To) raise the roof and have some fun  
Throw away the work to be done  
Let the music play on…(Play on, play on, play on…)  
Everybody sing, everybody dance  
Lose yourself in wild romance  
We’re going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever  
Come on and sing along!  
We’re going to Party, Karamu, Fiesta, forever  
Come on and sing along!

All night long (all night), All night (all night)  
All night long (all night), All night (all night)  
All night long (all night), All night (all night)  
All night long! (all night), Ooh, yeah (all night)

I get out – I roam through the streets like a tiger  
Let it out – I swing like a bird on a wire  
Everywhere you go, everybody knows  
Oh don’tcha know  
Everythin’ you do, anybody new  
They’re all on to you  
Fight for your life, turn it all around  
The art of survival isn’t gettin’ me down

And I’ll be chasin’ it all…night…long  
(Don’tcha wanna live?)  
I said all…night (night, night)…long  
(Don’tcha wanna live?)  
Chasin’ it all…night (night)…long  
(Don’tcha wanna live?)  
Chasin’ it all…night…long
