Monkey, Too much at stake  
Monkey, Ground beneath me shake  
Monkey, And the news is breaking  
Shock! Shock! Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

She looks so great, every time I see her face  
She put me in a state, a state of shock

I got chills, they’re multiplying  
And I’m losing control  
'Cause the power you’re supplying  
It’s electrifying

Oh no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue  
And then we’ll take it higher  
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue  
And then we’ll take it higher  
Who is to blame in one country  
Never can get to the one  
Dealin’ in multiplication  
And they still can’t feed everyone

We’re gonna turn it on  
We’re gonna bring you the power  
We’re gonna light up the dark of night like the  
brightest day in a whole new way  
We’re gonna turn it on  
We’re gonna bring you the power  
It’s coming down the lines, strong as they can be through the courtesy of  
The Electric Company  
The Electric Company  
The Electric Company!

The power of love is a curious thing –  
Make-a one man weep, make another man sing.  
Change a hawk to a little white dove.  
More than a feeling, that’s the power of love.

I am the eagle, I live in high country  
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky  
I am the hawk and there’s blood on my feathers  
But time is still turning, they soon will be dry  
And all those who see me and all who believe in me  
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly

_“The Eagle and the Hawk,” John Denver_

Love lift us up where we belong  
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high  
Love lift us up where we belong  
Far from the world below, up where the clear winds blow…

You give your hand to me  
And then you say, “Hello.”  
And I can hardly speak,  
My heart is beating so.  
And anyone can tell  
You think you know me well.  
Hell, you don’t know me.  
You don’t know me.

It just takes a little bit of this  
A little bit of that  
It started with a kiss  
Now we’re up to bat  
A little bit of laughs  
A little bit of pain  
I’m telling you, my babe  
It’s all in the game of love

(Is it in his eyes?) Oh, no, you’ll be deceived  
(Is it in his sighs?) Oh, no, he’ll make believe  
If you wanna know if he loves you so  
It’s in his kiss (That’s where it is, oh, yeah)  
(Or is it in his face?) Oh, no, it’s just his charms  
(In his warm embrace?) Oh, no, that’s just his arms  
If you want to know if he loves you so  
It’s in his kiss (That’s where it is)  
Oho, it’s in his kiss (That’s where it is)

_(Because your kiss)_ Your kiss is on my list  
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life…

_(Because your kiss)_ your kiss is on my list  
_(Because your kiss)_ your kiss I can’t resist  
_(Because your kiss)_ is what I miss when I turn out the lights.

It was one of those nights  
When you turn off the lights  
And everything comes into view  
She was taking her time  
I was losing my mind  
There was nothing that she wouldn’t do

Her daddy was lazy and no count  
Claimed he had a bad back  
All her brothers were fit for was stealin’ watermelons out of my truck patch  
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny  
Everybody said it was a shame  
Cause her mama was a working’ on the chain gang  
(Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need a mess of it
