George, George, George of the Jungle.  
Strong as he can be.  
George, George, George of the Jungle.  
Watch out for that tree.

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view  
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

</div>

From a little light of love  
I was born and in my cry, my cry  
Was a little light of love  
For the honoring of life  
And the Pharos of my soul  
Is this light of love  
Precious little light of love

There’s a candle burning on  
In the breezy shades of night  
I keep up my faith and underset my hope  
To call the realm of light

A treasure  
Your shiver  
In the middle of the shady desert  
Brings on a field of light  
In a light of love  
Fairy light of love

Light shine, white shine  
We have hit the height shine.  
Day shine, night shine  
It’s a very bright shine.

Lay me on the ground  
Fly me in the sky  
Show me where to look  
Tell me what will I find  
What will I find?

Yea, yea, yea  
Oh, Heaven let your light shine down

</div>

I’ve wandered around with nothing more than time on my hands  
I was lost in the night with no sight of you  
And at times it was so blue and lonely  
Heading for the light

Been close to the edge, hanging by my fingernails  
I’ve rolled and I’ve tumbled through the roses and the thorns  
And I couldn’t see the sign that warned me,  
Heading for the light.

</div>

Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone rolling stone preacher from the East  
He says, “Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that’s where they expect it least”  
And some new-mown chaperone was standin’ in the corner all alone, watchin’ the young girls dance  
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin’ with his frozen zone to remind him of the feeling of romance

Yeah, he was blinded by the light  
Cut loose like a deuce, another runner in the night  
Blinded by the light  
He got down but he never got tight, but he’s gonna make it tonight

You talk about your woman? I wish you could see mine.  
You talk about your woman? I wish you could see mine.  
Every time she starts to loving,  
She gives eyesight to the blind.

Hey professor!  
Could you turn out the lights?  
Let’s roll the film.  
Big science.  
Hallelujah.  
Every man, every man for himself.  
Big science.  
Hallelujah.  
Yodellayheehoo.

Ahem.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas  
A gigantic nuclear furnace  
Where hydrogen is built into helium  
At a temperature of millions of degrees

Sun  
Take some time, get away  
Sun  
Suicide is a shame  
Sun  
Soon, you’ll find your own way  
Sun  
Hope has come, you are safe  
And it makes me cry  
Because I’m on my way  
On my way  
On my way  
Hey, it’s the sun, and it makes me shine  
Hey, it’s the sun, and it makes me shine  
Hey, it’s the sun, and it makes me shine  
Hey, now, it’s the sun, and it makes me shine

So don’t delay act now supplies are running out  
Allow if you’re still alive six to eight years to arrive  
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow  
But if the offer is shunned you might as well be walkin’ on the sun

Well, it sure feels good to come in here and just pull up a seat  
A frosty mug of a cool one helps to beat the heat  
These old dog days of summer… Lord, I’ll be glad when they’re gone  
It’s too hot to fish, it’s too hot for golf  
And too cold at home

Well, that baseball game on TV takes me back to when I was a kid  
We proudly wore those uniforms just like the Dodgers did  
Yeah, we won a few games and lost a few, and for me it still goes on.  
It’s too hot to fish, it’s too hot for golf  
And too cold at home

Well, I only planned on one or two, but I might stay for three  
If that good looking thing in the corner keeps smiling back at me.

It’s so easy not to care about what’s right or what’s wrong  
It’s too hot to fish, it’s too hot for golf,  
And too cold at home

Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies  
Then lock the house up, now you’re set  
And on the beach you’ll see the girls in their bikinis  
As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet

Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer  
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer  
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer  
You’ll wish that summer could always be here

Come here.  
Hey, you. I said you. I said you. I said you, mate. I said you. I’m looking at you, mate. I said you, mate.  
I said, you come here. I said, go away.  
Didn’t you kill my brother?  
My sister in law was an oak tree, or do I mean a manhole cover?  
I’ve got a brain like a jukebox.  
Here, didn’t you kill my brother?

While the organ peeled potatoes,  
Lard was rendered by the choir.  
The sexton rung the dishrag,  
Someone set the church on fire.  
“Holy smoke!” The preacher shouted.  
In the rain he lost his hair.  
Now his head resembles heaven,  
For there is no parting there.

The cows were making cowslips  
And the bells were ringing wet,  
And the bumblebees were making bums  
And smoking cigarettes.  
And a man slept in a stable  
And came out a little ho(a)rse,  
So he hopped upon his golf sticks  
And drove all around the course.

Ain’t we crazy,  
Ain’t we crazy,  
This is the way we pass the time away.  
Ain’t we crazy,  
Ain’t we crazy,  
We’re goin’ to sing this song all night today.

I’m in my room I’m looking sideways  
I look up and I look down  
They told my friends it was a secret  
But it’s rumored that some of us went crazy

So I packed all my clothes and I went on back home  
I was standing on the tarmac ready to go  
Then I looked all around and I looked all around  
And I looked all around and I went crazy
