Look into the wall of my mind’s eye I think I know, but I don’t know why The questions are the answers you might need Coming in a mess going out in style I ain’t good-looking but I’m someone’s child No-one can give me the air that’s mine to breathe I met my maker I made her cry And on my shoulder she asked me why Her people won’t fly through the storm I said “Listen up girl, they don’t even know you’re born” All my people right here, right now D’You Know What I Mean? All my people right here, right now D’You Know What I Mean? All my people right here, right now D’You Know What I Mean? Yeah, yeah ---

I never will forget those nights. I wonder if it was a dream. Remember how you made me crazy, Remember how I made you scream. I don’t understand what happened to our love. But, baby, I’m gonna get you back, I’m gonna show you what I’m made of. I can see you, Your brown skin shining in the sun. I see you walking real slow And you’re smiling at everyone. And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone. [Still prefer the Mondegreen there: “After the poison, summer has gone…”] ---

When winter hearts turn summer pink In half the time it takes to blink But it all depends on what’you think About the girls of summer When all you think of all day long Is a pretty face inside a song With a thought like that you can’t go wrong About the girls of summer ---

Well she got her daddy’s car And she cruised through the hamburger stand now Seems she forgot all about the library Like she told her old man now And with the radio blasting Goes cruising just as fast as she can now And she’ll have fun fun fun Til her daddy takes the t-bird away (Fun fun fun til her daddy takes the t-bird away) ---

I dreamed a show in days gone by. Neil Diamond didn’t sing my hit song. A pretty girl they’d glorified! And Act One wasn’t so damn long. Come watch us grovel in the dirt. Then buy a souvenir and don it. Rich folks pay twenty bucks a shirt That has a starving pauper on it. (From I Dreamed A Show, Forbidden Broadway’s marvelous send-up of I Dream A Dream) ---
