I don’t know much about dancin’  
That’s why I got this song  
One of my legs is shorter than the other  
And both my feet’s too long  
‘Course now right along with ‘em  
I got no natural rhythm  
But I go dancin’ every night  
Hopin’ one day I might get it right

I’m a dancin’ fool (dancin’ fool)  
Dancin’ fool  
Dancin’ fool (dancin’ fool)  
Dancin’ fool

And when you get the chance  
You are the dancing queen  
Young and sweet  
Only seventeen  
Dancing queen  
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah  
You can dance  
You can jive  
Having the time of your life  
Ooh, see that girl  
Watch that scene  
Digging the dancing queen

Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me  
I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m going to  
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me  
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come following you.

_Mr. Tambourine Man. Bob Dylan_

Watch the jingle jangle start to shine  
Reflections of the music that is mine  
When you toss a coin, you’ll hear it sing  
Now listen while I play  
My green tambourine

I got a little change in my pocket goin’ jing-a-ling-a-ling  
Wants to call you on the telephone baby, a-give you a ring  
But each time we talk, I get the same old thing  
Always no hug-ee no kiss-ee until I get a weddin’ ring  
My honey my baby, don’t put my love upon no shelf  
She said don’t hand me no lines and keep your hands to yourself

Up at dawn to greet the sun  
I’ve forgotten what a care or worry means  
Head for home when day is done  
With my pocket money jinglin’ in my jeans

I got brass in pocket  
I got bottle, I’m gonna use it  
Intention, I feel inventive  
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice and

Got motion, restrained emotion  
Been driving, Detroit leaning  
No reason, just seems so pleasing  
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

My mother says, “When you gonna live your life right?”  
Oh momma dear, we’re not the fortunate ones

Some folks are born made to wave the flag  
Hoo, they’re red, white and blue  
And when the band plays “Hail to the Chief”  
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain’t me, it ain’t me  
I ain’t no senator’s son, son  
It ain’t me, it ain’t me  
I ain’t no furtunate one, no

For his country and his king  
Of his honor and his glory  
The people would sing

They call us lucky  
You and I  
Lucky girl  
Lucky guy  
When you take my hand  
Or touch my cheek  
I know I’m on a  
Lifetime lucky streak  
A lucky rainbow  
Lights the sky  
When we kiss  
When we sigh

The moral of this story, it’s simple but it’s true:  
Hey, the stars might lie, but the numbers never do.  
I feel lucky,  
I feel lucky, yeah.  
Hey Dwight, hey Lyle, boys, you don’t have to fight.  
Hot dog, I feel lucky tonight.

I Feel Lucky – _Mary Chapin Carpenter_

I don’t care who’s wrong or right

I don’t really wanna fight no more  
This is time for letting go

Don’t, give a damn  
Fight, while you can  
Kill, shoot 'em up  
They’ll, they’ll run amok  
Shout, Judas  
Loud, they’ll hear us  
Soldier, sailor  
Who’s your jailer?  
They’ll run for cover when they discover  
Everyone’s a nervous wreck now

I remember (I remember)  
When I used to play shoot 'em up  
(Shoot 'em up, bang, bang, baby)  
I remember  
When I chased the girls and beat 'em up  
But I was young and didn’t understand  
But now I’m a grownup man

I was five and he was six  
We rode on horses made of sticks  
He wore black and I wore white  
He would always win the fight

Bang, bang he shot me down  
Bang, bang I hit the ground  
Bang, bang that awful sound  
Bang, bang my baby shot me down

It’s no use saying that it’s alright, it’s alright  
But where were you after midnight, midnight  
Heard a Bang, Bang, Bang; Down they go  
It’s just a job you do  
Cos the harder they run, and the harder they fall  
I’m coming down hard on you

If you could see yourself now, baby  
It’s not my fault, you used to be so in control  
You’re going to roll right over this one  
Just roll me over, let me go  
You’re laying blame  
Take this as no, no, no, no, no

You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang  
Then blame, blame, blame  
You bang, bang, bang, bang, bang  
It’s not my thing, so let it go

Oh, this is number one,  
And the fun has just begun.  
Roll me over, lay me down  
And do it again.

Roll me over  
In the clover,  
Roll me over, lay me down  
And do it again.
