In Europe and America there’s a growing feeling of hysteria.
Conditioned to respond to all the threats
In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets.
MIster Krushchev said, “We will bury you.”
I don’t subscribe to this point of view.
It’d be such an ignorant thing to do
If the Russians love their children too.
How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer’s deadly toy?
There is no monopoly on common sense
On either side of the political fence.
We share the same biology, regardless of ideology.
Believe me when I say to you,
I hope the Russians love their children too
So long, mom,
I’m off to drop the bomb,
So don’t wait up for me.
But though I may roam,
I’ll come back to my home
Although it may be
A pile of debris.
Remember, mommy,
I’m off to get a commie,
So send me a salami
And try to smile somehow.
I’ll look for you when the war is over,
An hour and a half from now!
Oh, give me a home
Where the buffalo roam,
And the deer and the antelope play;
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
I’ll go home and get my panties
You go home and get your scanties
And away we’ll go
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Off we’re gonna shuffle
Shuffle off to Buffalo
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta:
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of america,
Stolen from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
I mean it, when I analyze the stench -
To me it makes a lot of sense:
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier,
And he was taken from africa, brought to america,
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival.
Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta -
Buffalo soldier in the heart of america.
I’m a hussar, I’m a Hun, I’m a wretched Englishman
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
I’m a dragoon on a dun, I’m a Cossack on the run
I’m a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
I’m a horse soldier, eternal, through and through
Lady I know there, name of Christina
Six lonely lifetimes since I’ve seen her
She takes you places your heart cannot go
During the winter up in Buffalo
Days by her fire, dazed in the glow
Winter surrounds us up in Buffalo
Days of drowsy pleasure in the afternoon dark
We drift together, we drift apart
She’s got the wherewithal, she’s got the knowledge
It’s wonderful
I should be going
Out there the Snow Queen is kidnapping boys
Her block-of-ice heart tunes out the noise
And soft in the bedroom her eyes indigo
Sleeping in the winter in Buffalo
Down in Buffalo
I’m so cold,
But I’m nice beneath the ice.
So deep, never doing as I’m told.
And it’s cold outside,
But I think you’ll get used to it, darling.
And it’s dark out there,
But isn’t scary.
I’m the cold, I’m the snow,
Make it hurt until you go.
I’m the dark, I’m the night,
I’m a bark, but never bite,
I’m the snow queen.
The cold never bothered me anyway.
I don’t care if it’s sunny or bright,
'Cause I only have eyes for you, dear.
Rescue by the first light
Receiving us with these tears
Feeling your gaze in the back of my eyes
Leaving worlds this way
In voice leading to voices
Last song that the land sings
In colorful breathless emotional sea
Leaving us this way
Seeing out the angel
From the shadow of a day
That stands alone and crying young
Singing fascination
For the twist in anxious days
That stand alone and crying young
See out the angels
For the rescue pools of life
That stand alone and crying young
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
I’m gonna love you forever, forever and ever, amen
As long as old men sit and talk about the weather
As long as old women sit and talk about old men
If you wonder how long I’ll be faithful
I’ll be happy to tell you again
I’m gonna love you forever and ever, forever and ever, amen
Longer than there’ve been stars up in the heavens
I’ll be in love with you
You ask how much I need you, must I explain?
I need you, oh my darling, like roses need rain.
You ask how long I’ll love you; I’ll tell you true:
Until the twelfth of never, I’ll still be loving you.
Whenever I’m alone with you,
You make me feel like I am free again.
Whenever I’m alone with you,
You make me feel like I am clean again.
However far away,
I will always love you.
However long I stay,
I will always love you.
Whatever words I say,
I will always love you;
I will always love you.
When I’m alone in my room
Sometimes I stare at the wall
And in the back of my mind I hear my conscience call
Telling me I need a boy who’s as sweet as a dove
For the first time in my life, I see I need love
There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far
Very far, over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day, a magic day
He passed my way, and while we spoke
Of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return”
I don’t believe in destiny
Or the guiding hand of fate
I don’t believe in forever
Or love as a mystical state
I don’t believe in the stars or the planets
Or angels watching from above
But I believe there’s a ghost of a chance
We can find someone to love
And make it last
I don’t believe in magic but I do believe in you
And when you say you believe in me
There’s so much magic I can do
