Let down before the final curtain The shallow heart that left her cold She left in rouge upon the mirror A circled kiss, oh, to the faithful fans who 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 ---

The season’s upon us, it’s that time of year Brandy and eggnog, there’s plenty of cheer There’s lights on the trees and there’s wreaths to be hung There’s mischief and mayhem and songs to be sung There’s bells and there’s holly, the kids are gung-ho True love finds a kiss beneath fresh mistletoe Some families are messed up while others are fine If you think yours is crazy, well, you should see mine ---

Sayyyy, Mother, as sure as there’s an X in Christmas, you can be sure those are Tiny Tim Chestnuts roasting. Tin-y Tim Chestnuts are full-bodied… longer lasting! This visible shell protects the nut! Now with X-K 29 added, for people who can’t roast after every meal Tin-ee Tim! Tin-ee Tim! Chest-nuts all the way! Tin-y Tim’s roast hot… like a chestnut ought! And… they are (ECHO) mild, mild, mild, mild ---

I must have blacked out just 'round then 'Cause the very next thing that I could see Was the light of the day again My stomach was full as it could be And nobody ever got around to finding Timothy Timothy, Timothy Where on earth did you go? Timothy, Timothy God, why don’t I know? ---

Nights in white satin Never reaching the end Letters I’ve written Never meaning to send Beauty I’ve always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can’t say any more 'Cause I love you Yes I love you Oh how I love you Gazing at people some hand in hand Just what I’m going through they can’t understand Some try to tell me thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be you will be in the end ---

So, you better go back to your bars Your temples, your massage parlors One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster The bars are temples but their pearls ain’t free You’ll find a god in every golden cloister A little flesh, a little history I can feel an angel slidin’ up to me One night in Bangkok makes the hard man humble Not much between despair and ecstasy One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Can’t be too careful with your company I can feel the devil walking next to me ---
