Baby Jesus, I am a poor boy too,
I have no gift to bring to lay before the King.
Parumparumpum, parumparumpum, parumparumpum.
I don’t wanna sleep
I just wanna bang on the drum all day …
Bang Bang I got mine
Bang Bang sun don’t shine
Bang Bang you all angels
Bang Bang now you all ought to be in pictures
Bang Bang I hit the ground,
Bang Bang My baby shot me down.
Bang Bang Maxwell’s silver hammer came down on her head
Bang Bang Maxwell’s silver hammer made sure she was dead
My heart went bang shang a lang
Bang shang a lang
Bang shang a lang, bang, bang
My heart went bang shang a lang
Bang shang a lang
Bang shang a lang, bang, bang
How can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go 'round?
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round and around.
Love makes the world go ‘round!
Your pulse will beat and your heart will pound,
‘Cause love makes the world go ‘round!
I met a little guy about four feet small,
Who fell in love with Annie who was eight feet tall!
Every time I see ‘em comin’ down the street,
I know true love just can’t be beat!
Out there they love you
They’re asking for more,
So let’s give them one more
Encore!
Baby, although I chose this lonely life
It seems it’s strangling me now
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car
They’re all laughing at the lie
Oh, I’ve been used
ohh I’ve been a fool
oh, what a fool
I broke all the rules
oh, yeah
But I must let the show go on
But the fool on the hill,
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
Ooh, ooh,
Round and round and round.
And he never listens to them,
He knows that they’re the fools
They don’t like him,
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head,
See the world spinning 'round.
I won’t slave for beggar’s pay
Likewise gold and jewels
But I would slave to learn the way
To sink your ship of fools
Hadn’t traveled very far when suddenly I saw
Three small ships a-sailing out towards a distant shore
So lighting up a cigarette I followed in pursuit
And found a secret cave where they obviously stashed their loot
Filling up my pockets, even stuffed it up my nose
I must have weighed a hundred tons between my head and toes
I ventured forth before the dawn had time to change its mind
And soaring high above the clouds I found a golden shrine
Me and the puzzled travelers
We searched the ground for wealth
And scoured the dreaming valleys
On days where shadows melt
Digging for the blue and the green
Constant in opal or ultramarine
But you could only find yourself that way
But I’ve done a bit of smugglin’
I’ve run my share of grass
Made enough money to buy Miami
But I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last
Never meant to last
I went to my brother to ask for a loan
I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog for a bone
But I’m busted
My brother said, “There ain’t a thing I can do
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin’ of callin’ on you
I’m busted”
Well, I had a lot of money, but to the city went
I met too many good looking girls and that’s where my money went
Yeah I know just where it went
No I ain’t broke but I’m badly bent.
There’ll never be another quite like you
I’m so involved with everything you do
Don’t say nothing good will ever come of this
Don’t say the damage is worse than it is
Back in Metropolis, circuses and elephants
Where the oranges grew
And back in Metropolis, nothing can ever topple us
When I’m standing with you
Up, up and away, away from me
It’s all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy, or anything
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
That’s really super Supergirl
How you saved yourself in seconds flat
And your friends are going to say
That’s really super Supergirl
How you’re changing all the world’s weather
But you couldn’t put us back together
Now I feel like I’m tethered deep
Inside your Fortress of Solitude
Don’t mean to be rude
But I don’t feel super
Supergirl
