I’m gonna stay right here by your side
Do my best to keep you satisfied
Nothing in the world can drive me away
'Cause every day you’ll hear me say
Baby I’m yours
And I’ll be yours until two and two is three
Yours until the mountain crumbles to the sea
In other words, until eternity
As now can’t reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do know what I say is true
That I’ll be loving you always
Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky (Always)
Until the ocean covers every mountain high (Always)
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea (Always)
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
The sand whispered heat and burned the feet
Of gulls landing on the shore
In the motel pool the waitress cools
She doesn’t ask for more
She makes a wish she takes a risk
She opens up her door
Through human eyes she’s a dolphin in disguise
It’s the last night of the war
She picks up her apron in little girl-fashion
As something comes into her mind
Slowly starts dancing remembering her girlhood
And all of the boys she had waiting in line
Oh, such are the dreams of the everyday housewife
You see everywhere any time of the day
An everyday housewife who gave up the good life for me
"Things are different today, " I hear every mother say
Cooking fresh food for her husband’s just a drag
So she buys an instant cake, and she burns a frozen steak
And goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper
And two help her on her way, get her through her busy day
Kind of a drag
When your baby don’t love you
Kind of a drag
When you know she’s been untrue
Kind of a Drag – The Buckinghams

Hey, little girl, you don’t have to hide nothin’ no more
You didn’t do nothin’ that hadn’t been done before
Little girl thought she wouldn’t get caught, you see
She thought she’d get away with goin’ out on me, yeah
Other girls did it, you didn’t think of nothin’ new
You went out on me, so other girls did it too
Well, you know that I’m a wicked guy
And I was born with a jealous mind
And I can’t spend my whole life
Trying just to make you toe the line
You better run for your life if you can, little girl
Hide your head in the sand, little girl
Catch you with another man
That’s the end, little girl
Oh, go away, little girl. Go away, little girl.
It’s hurtin’ me more each minute that you delay.
When you are near me like this,
You’re much too hard to resist.
So, go away, little girl, before I beg you to stay
Well, don’t you want me
Don’t you want me
Baby, listen 'deed I do
I’ll kill your kid sister, I’ll murder your dad
I’ll rip the lashes off your eye,
I’ll slaughter all your cattle and I’ll burn your crops
If you’re dancin’ with another guy.
Well she was just seventeen
And you know what I mean
And the ways she looked
Was way beyond compare
So how could I dance with another, oh
When I saw her standing there
I saw him dancin’ there by the record machine
I knew he must’ve been about seventeen
The beat was goin’ strong
Playin’ my favorite song
And I could tell it wouldn’t be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn’t be long
‘Til he was with me, yeah, me, singin’
I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines i never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen i learned the truth
Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the ups and downs
I’m in the middle without any plans
I’m a boy and I’m a man
I’m eighteen
And I don’t know what I want
Eighteen
I just don’t know what I want
Eighteen
I gotta get away
I’ve gotta get out of this place
I’ll go runnin’ in outer space
Oh yeah
In fiery Andromeda will take you
Part the immortal sea of stones
To blink across the oceans of wonder
And never go home
Now, it’s drifting in time
And out of the haze of gravity
So let planets collide
You swim in the tide of galaxies
Sirius on the right hand of Orion
In Ursa Major double lines of bones
To step across the blue event horizon
And never, and never return
Well, we had a lot of luck on Venus
We always had a ball on Mars
We meet with all the groovy people
We rocked the Milky Way so far
Been around with Borealis
We’re space truckin’ ‘round the stars
Come on, come on, come on
Let’s go space truckin’
There’s Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow
There’s Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim
Analysis, Mr. Spock
It’s life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, not as we know it
It’s life, Jim, but not as we know it, not as we know it, Captain
There’s Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, starboard bow
There’s Klingons on the starboard bow, starboard bow, Jim
Star Trekkin’ across the universe
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk
Star Trekkin’ across the universe
Boldly going forward, still can’t find reverse
And we’re banned from Argo every one
Banned from Argo just for having a little fun
We spent a jolly shore leave there for just three days or four
And Argo doesn’t want us anymore.
And I wondered how the same moon outside
Over this Chinatown fair
Could look down on Illinois
And find you there
And you know I love you baby
And I’m so far away from home
And I miss my baby so
I can’t make it by myself
I love you so
Shore leave…
Shore leave…
A fine little girl, she waitin’ for me
Me catch a ship across the sea
Sail that ship, ah, all alone
Me never think how I’ll make it home
A-Louie, Louie, oh no
Said, we gotta go, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said, a-Louie, Louie, oh baby
Said, we gotta go
