Well they’re packed pretty tight in here tonight
I’m looking for a dolly who’ll see me right
I may use a little muscle to get what I need
I may sink a little drink and shout out “She’s with me!”
A couple of the sound that I really like
Are the sounds of a switchblade and a motorbike
I’m a juvenile product of the working class
Whose best friend floats in the bottom of a glass
Don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
`Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright alright alright
Saturday night is the loneliest night in the week
'Cause that’s the night that my sweetie and I
Used to dance cheek to cheek
I don’t mind Sunday night at all
'Cause that’s the night friends come to call
And Monday to Friday go fast
And another week is past
Monday, Monday, can’t trust that day.
I met her on a Monday, and my heart stood still.
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron.
Somebody told me that her name was Jill.
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron.
Yeah, my heart stood still.
Yeah, her name was Jill.
And when I walked her home,
Da do ron ron ron, da do ron ron.
A You’re adorable
B You’re so beautiful
C You’re a cutie full of charms
D You’re a darling and
E You’re exciting and
F You’re a feather in my arms
G You look good to me
H You’re so heavenly
I You’re the one I idolize
J We’re like Jack and Jill
K You’re so kissable
L Is the love light in your eyes
I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday I’m in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
Everybody’s workin’ for the weekend
Everybody wants a new romance
Everybody’s goin’ off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance
Somebody’s going to hurt someone
Before the night is through
Somebody’s going to come undone
There’s nothing we can do
Everybody wants to touch somebody
If it takes all night
Everybody wants to take a little chance
To make it come out right.
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know
goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good.
If I tell you
If I tell you now
Will you keep on
Will you keep on loving me
If I tell you
If I tell you how I feel
Will you keep bringing out the best in me
You give me, you give me the sweetest taboo
You give me, you’re giving me the sweetest taboo
Too good for me
It lay buried here. It lay deep inside me.
It’s so deep I don’t think that I can speak about it.
It could take me all of my life,
But it would only take a moment to
Tell you what I’m feeling,
But I don’t know if I’m ready yet.
You come walking into this room
Like you’re walking into my arms.
What would I do without you?
Take away the love and the anger,
And a little piece of hope holding us together.
Looking for a moment that’ll never happen,
Living in the gap between past and future.
Take away the stone and the timber,
And a little piece of rope won’t hold it together.
Our thoughts are sadder now
For we know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you must try to fly
That crash you heard a minute ago
Was me falling for you
Just like Humpty Dumpty,
I went bumpty-bumpty
You gave me the biggest thrill
That I ever knew.
The moment that we started to kiss
I met my Waterloo
I jumped off the roof just as gay as a clown
I thought I was flying until I looked down
That crash you heard a minute ago
Was me falling for you.
Promises of no more lies
Fell flat upon an empty stage
Before the audience arrived
A return in time to the cheaper seats
She never knew what lay beneath
Just a dated handbill they found between the sheets
Let down before the final curtain
A shallow heart that left her cold
She left in rouge upon the mirror
A circled kiss to the faithful who’d miss her
And you can cage the songbird
But you can’t make her sing
And you can trap the free bird
But you’ll have to clip her wings
Cause she’ll soar like a hawk when she flies
But she’ll dive like an eagle when she dies
A girl to her lover then softly sighed,
There’s riches at her command;
But she married for wealth, not for love, he cried,
Though she lives in a mansion grand.
She’s only a bird in a gilded cage,
A beautiful sight to see,
You may think she’s happy and free from care,
She’s not, though she seems to be,
'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life,
For youth cannot mate with age,
And her beauty was sold,
For an old man’s gold,
She’s a bird in a gilded cage.
Like a bird on the wire,
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free.
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn’t be the same.
'Cause I’m as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can’t change.
Rockin’ and a rollin’
Spilishin’ and a splashin’
Over the horizon,
What can it be?
Looks like it’s goin’ to be a free country!
