My name is Daffy Duck,
I worked on the merry-go-round,
The job was swell,
It paid quite well,
Then the merry-go-round broke down.
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the street tonight
In an everlasting kiss
Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway
Calling a name that’s lighter than air
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it’s Windy
Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin’ at everybody she sees
Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it’s Windy
Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it’s you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don’t you take it
You’re gonna make it after all
You’re gonna make it after all
When you’re alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go…downtown.
Uptown girl
She’s been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had an back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I’m gonna try for an uptown girl
She’s been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she’s looking for a downtown man
That’s what I am
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
Where everyone’s his boss and he’s lost in an angry land
He’s a little man
But then he comes uptown each evenin’ to my tenement
Uptown where folks don’t have to pay much rent
And when he’s there with me he can see that he’s everything
Then he’s tall, he don’t crawl, he’s a king
Downtown he’s just one of a million guys
He don’t get no breaks and he takes all they got to give
'Cause he’s got to live
No time to fix my hair, need a new dress to wear
Old clothes will have to do 'cause the kids all need new shoes
I got bridge club each Tuesday night; he goes out with the boys and gets tight
But when the evenin’s through he comes a home to the queen of the house
Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up I noticed I was late.
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,
Somebody spoke and I went into a dream.
I read the news today oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall.
I’d love to turn you on
Hitler, he’s only got one ball,
The other one is in the Albert Hall.
His mother, the dirty bugger,
Chopped it off when he was small.
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with her test tube
Oh, oh oh oh
Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
“Can I take you out to the pictures Joan?”
But as she’s getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door
Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang! Bang! Maxwell’s silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Silver and gold, silver and gold
Everyone wishes for silver and gold
How do you measure its worth
Just by the pleasure it gives here on Earth
Hey babe, you got my soul
You got the silver, you got the gold.
A flash of love has made me blind,
I don’t care, no, that’s the big surprise.
Right before my very eyes
I thought that you were only fakin’ it
And like before my heart was takin’ it
Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes
Yesterday it seemed to me
My life was nothing more than wasted time
But here today you’ve softly changed my mind
Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes
Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay
Hold me in the morning
Love me in the afternoon
Help me find my way
Now and then just like before
I think about the love I’ve thrown away
But now it doesn’t matter anyway
Baby, what a big surprise
Thinking of you’s working up my appetite
Looking forward to a little after noon delight
Rubbing sticks and stones together makes the sparks ignite
And the thought of rubbing you is getting so exciting
Skyrockets in flight, afternoon delight
We get it almost every night
When that moon is big and bright
It’s a supernatural delight
Everybody’s dancing in the moonlight
Everybody here is out of sight
They don’t bark and they don’t bite
They keep things loose, they keep 'em tight
Everybody’s dancing in the moonlight
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Mary Hill used to hang out in Cherry Hill Park
The game she played lasted all day to way after dark
Now, all the girls, they criticized her but all the guys just idolized her
Cause Mary Hill was such a thrill after dark in Cherry Hill Park
You’ll never know how great a kiss can feel
When you stop at the top of a Ferris wheel
When I fell in love down at Palisades Park
Rollercoaster of Love say what
Rollercoaster yeah (oohh oohh oohh)…
Oh baby you know what I’m talking about
Rollercoaster of Love
Oh yeah it’s Rollercoaster time
Lovin’ you is really wild
Oh it´s just a love rollercoaster
Step right up and get your tickets
