Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming
Sayin’ something about a queen
There were peasants singin’ and drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
There was a fanfare blowin’ to the sun
That was floating on the breeze
Look at mother nature on the run in the twenty-first century
Look at mother nature on the run in the twenty-first century
Scheherazade your life is one
You have today the Sultan’s love
The people watch you step into the sun
Stalls and bars of every kind
Food piled high on woven leaves for all to eat
Drums and flutes at every turn
The music winding, twisting through the crowded streets
Caravans from far away bring people laughing
People come to see the Sultan in Baghdad today
Well, Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherazade had a thousand tales
But master, you’re in luck, cuz up your sleeve
You’ve got a brand of magic never fails
You’ve got some power in your corner now
Some heavy ammunition in your camp
You’ve got some poof, pizzazz, yahoo and how
Say all you gotta do is rub that lamp
And I’ll say:
“Mister Aladdin, sir, what will your pleasure be?
Let me take your order, jot it down
You ain’t never had a friend like me”
Let me tell you 'bout Ahab the Arab
The Sheik of the burning sand
He had emeralds and rubies just a-dripping off ‘a him
And a ring on every finger of his hands
He wore a big ol’ turban wrapped around his head
And a scimitar by his side
And every evening about midnight
He’d jump on his camel named Clyde, and ride
Love; it seems like only yesterday
You were just a child at play
Now you’re all grown up inside of me
Oh, how fast those moments flee
Once we watched a lazy world go by
Now the days seem to fly
Life is brief, but when it’s gone
Love goes on and on
Isn’t life beautiful?
Isn’t life gay?
Isn’t life the perfect thing to pass the time away?
Isn’t life strange?
A turn of the page
Can read like before
Can we ask for more?
Each day passes by
How hard man will try?
The sea will not wait
You know it makes me want to cry, cry, cry
Charlie, keep singing that chanson
Your words always make so much sense
And though they’re in French
I’ve got no defense
I know that I’m reaching the end
So rumors keep flying around me
It’s you I refuse to believe
He’s right round the corner
He knows that I’m home now
And nobody calls me naive
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There’ll be nobody home
Later I tried to call you
Your mama told me you weren’t there
She told me don’t bother to call again
Unless I cut off all my hair
Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was getting kind of long
I could have said it was in my way
But I didn’t and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone
Don’cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don’cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
Don’cha?
That girl is pretty wild now
The girl’s a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazines
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl’s a super freak
Well, I know what I’ve been told
Gotta break free to break the mold
But I can’t do this all on my own
No, I can’t do this all on my own
I know that I’m no Superman
I’m no Superman
I’m no Superman
If I go crazy, now, will you still call me Superman?
If I’m alive and well, will you be there holding my hand?
I’ll keep you by my side with my superhuman
My Kryptonite
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me
I’m more than a bird, I’m more than a plane
I’m more than some pretty face beside a train
And it’s not easy to be me
It’s not easy being green
You seem to blend in with so many other
Ordinary things
And people tend to pass you over
Cuz you’re not standing out like splashy sparkles in the water
Or stars in the sky
Greensleeves was all my joy,
Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold
And who but my lady Greensleeves?
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her king!
Let every heart prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing.
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin’
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
