“I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge”
“I can shoot a sparrow with a bow and arrow”
“I can live on bread and cheese”
“And only on that?”
“Yes”
“So can a rat!”
I can turn the greyest sky blue
I can make it rain whenever I want it to
Oh, I can build a castle from a single grain of sand
I can make a ship sail high on dry land
But my life is incomplete, and I’m so blue
'Cause I can’t get next to you
But I don’t know how to leave you
And I’ll never let you fall
And I don’t know how you do it
Making love out of nothing at all
Least, do I get an invitation or something?
A statement or something?
Ask about that, you would say it was nothing
But here’s another nothing that you made into something
Can’t just leave it off that way
It’s right that I should care about you
And try to make you happy when you’re blue
It’s right, it’s right to feel the way I do
Because, because I love you
And it doesn’t matter how I cry
My tears of love are a waste of time
If I turn away
Am I strong enough to see it through?
Go crazy is what I will do
If I can’t have you, I don’t want nobody baby
If I can’t have you, ah hah hah
If I were a rich man, with a million or two
I’d live in a penthouse, in a room with a view
And if I were handsome (No way) It could happen
These dreams do come true
I wouldn’t have nothing if I didn’t have you
But, you know that when the truth is told,
You can get what you want,
Or just get old.
You’re gonna kick off before you’re even half way thru,
Ooh…
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
We walked in the cold air
Freezing breath on a window pane, lying and waiting
A man in the dark in a picture frame so mystic and soulful
A voice reaching out in a piercing cry, it stays with you until
The feeling has gone, only you and I, it means nothing to me
This means nothing to me
Oh, Vienna
I took my baby to a party last night, ah-ha-ha
She was so beautiful, she made me uptight, ah-ha-ha
Up came a butcher with his needles in sight, ah-ha-ha
It’s all down to goodnight Vienna
But you know that when the truth is told
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
You’re gonna kick off before you even
Get halfway through
When will you realize, Vienna waits for you?

Let’s try this instead:
No more lonely nights just waiting for the telephone to ring
No more lonely days, my baby’s taken care of everything
I’m telling you people
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin’
And she’s got what it takes
And she knows how to use it
Elenore, gee I think you’re swell
And you really do me well
You’re my pride and joy, et cetera
Gee Whiz Whillikins Golly Gee
I love a girl
And she loves me
Gee whiz, look at his eyes
Gee whiz, how they hypnotize
He’s got everything a girl could want
Man, oh, man, what a prize, oohoo
Walk my way, and a thousand violins begin to play
Or it may be the sound of your hello
That music I hear
I get misty the moment you’re near
You are the girl with the violin
Your melody sweeps through this night
You the girl with the violin
Mystery underscores our plight
Your dark raven hair
Reflects the gaze of the moon
Your pale ivory face
Rises among stars this night
When, when was the night so long,
Long, like the notes I’m sending.
She waits in the air,
Matte Kudasai.
She sleeps in a chair
In her sad America.
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I’ve been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight? Oh Lord, oh Lord
