Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Cars and girls are easy come by in this day and age,
Laughing, joking, drinking, smoking,
Till I’ve spent my wage.
When I was young people spoke of immorality,
All the things they said were wrong,
Are what I want to be.
(Hey)
Over under sideways down,
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round.
(Hey)
Over under sideways down,
(Hey)
Backwards forwards square and round.
When will it end, when will it end,
When will it end, when will it end.
I look up and see the ceiling, I see nothing more
I look down and see the rug and then I see the floor
I look up and see the sky
I look down and see the ground
I look at you and sing a song about up and down
In her white lace
You can clearly see the lady sadly looking.
Saying that she’d take the blame
For the crucifixion of her own domain.
I get up, I get down,
I get up, I get down.
Two million people barely satisfy.
Two hundred women watch one woman cry, too late.
The eyes of honesty can achieve.
How many millions do we deceive each day?
I get up, I get down.
I get up, I get down.
I get up, and nothing gets me down.
You got it tough. I’ve seen the toughest around.
And I know, baby, just how you feel.
You’ve got to roll with the punches to get to what’s real
I get knocked down
But I get up again
You’re never going to keep me down
Well, we’re waiting here in Allentown.
And it’s hard to keep a good man down.
But I won’t be getting up today.
Oh, it’s great to get up in the morning,
When the sun begins to shine,
At 5 or 6 or 7 o’clock
In the good old summertime.
But when the snow is snowing,
Or it’s murky overhead,
Oh, it’s great to get up in the morning,
But it’s nicer to stay in bed.
Oh! How I hate to get up in the morning
Oh! How I’d love to remain in bed
For the hardest blow of all isto hear the bugler call
“Ya gotta get up, ya gotta get up, ya gotta get up this morning”
Someday I’m going to murder the bugler
Someday they’re going to find him dead
I’ll amputate his reveille, and step upon it heavily
And spend the rest of my life in bed
And then I’ll get that other pup
The guy who wakes the bugler up
And spend the rest of my life in bed
When I was mustered out
I thought without a doubt
That I was through with all my care and strife
I thought that I was then
The happiest of men
But after months of tough civilian life
Gee, I wish I was back in the Army
The Army wasn’t really bad at all
Three meals a day
For which you didn’t pay
Uniforms for winter, spring and fall
There’s a lot to be said for the Army
The life without responsibility
A soldier out of luck
Was really never stuck
There’s always someone higher up where you can pass the buck
Oh, gee, I wish I was back in the Army
[sigh]
Seasons come, seasons go
But people never seem to know
How long it will rain, it will shine.
Here comes that rainy day feeling again
and soon my tears they will be falling like rain
It always seems to be a Monday
Left over memories of Sunday always spent with you
before the clouds appeared and took away my sunshine
Sunshine came softly through my window today,
Could’ve tripped out easy but I’ve changed my ways
You’ve got to change your evil ways, baby
Before I stop lovin’ you
You’ve got to change, baby
And every word that I say is true
You got me runnin’ and hidin’ all over town
You got me sneakin’ and a-peepin’ and runnin’ you down
This can’t go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby
If I should take a notion
To jump into the ocean
Ain’t nobody’s business if I do
If I go to church on Sunday
Then cabaret all day Monday
Ain’t nobody’s business if I do
If my man ain’t got no money
And I say “take all mine, honey”
Ain’t nobody’s business if I do
Now, don’t try to change her- just leave her, leave her.
Get out quick, cause seeing is believing.
It’s the only way you’ll ever know, oh
She’s an easy lover
She’ll get a hold on you, believe it.
She’s like no other.
Before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover
She’ll take your heart, but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other,
And I’m just trying to make you see
You’re the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You’d better forget it!
You’ll never get it!
For she’ll say that there’s no other
'Til she finds another
Better forget it
Oh, you’ll regret it
Some boys take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world
I want to be the one to walk in the sun
Oh girls they want to have fun
Got your number from a friend of mine,
Who lives in your hometown.
Called you up to have a drink,
Your roommate said you weren’t around.
Now I know I’m one of many
Who would like to be your friend,
And I’ve got to find a way to
Let you know I’m not like them!
I’m talkin’ pedicure on our toes, toes
Tryin’ on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowin’ up our phones, phones
Drop toppin’, playin’ our favorite CDs
Pullin’ up to the parties
Tryin’ to get a little bit tippp-syyyy
Thank heaven
For little girls
For little girls get bigger every day
Thank heaven
For little girls
They grow up in the most delightful way
Those little eyes so helpless and appealing
One day will flash and send you crashing
Through the ceiling
