Longer than there’ve been fishes in the ocean  
Higher than any bird ever flew  
Longer than there’ve been stars up in the heavens  
I’ve been in love with you

I want to fly like an eagle  
To the sea  
Fly like an eagle  
Let my spirit carry me

Somewhere over the rainbow  
Bluebirds fly  
Birds fly over the rainbow  
Why, then oh why, can’t I?

Little darlin’ of my life  
You keep movin’ 'cross my mind  
You gave me a sunny day  
Now it looks as if I’ll pay

Why do they say - Bluebird is dead?  
I can still see her, touch her, my Bluebird  
The love that she gave, I don’t believe  
No, no, I don’t believe

(“Bluebird is Dead,” Electric Light Orchestra)

No I don’t believe you  
When you say don’t come around here no more  
I won’t remind you  
You said we wouldn’t be apart  
No I don’t believe you  
When you say you don’t need me anymore  
So don’t pretend to  
Not love me at all

I love you for your pink Cadillac  
Crushed velvet seats  
Riding in the back  
Cruising down the street  
Waving to the girls  
Feeling out of sight  
Spending all my money  
On a Saturday night  
Honey I just wonder what you do there in back  
Of your pink Cadillac  
Pink Cadillac

Willie the wimp was buried today  
They laid him to rest in a special way  
Sent him off in the finest style  
That casket-mobile really drove ‘em wild  
Southside Chicago will think of him often  
Talkin’ 'bout Willie the wimp and his Cadillac coffin  
Willie the wimp and his Cadillac coffin

I’ve made a small fortune  
And you squandered it all  
You shamed me  
Till I feel about one inch tall

But I thought I loved you  
And I hoped you would change  
So I gritted my teeth  
And didn’t complain

Now you come to me  
With a simple goodbye  
You tell me you’re leaving  
But you won’t tell me why

Now we’re here at the station  
And you’re getting on  
And all I can think of is  
Thank God and Greyhound you’re gone!

-Roy Clark

So it ain’t no use in calling out my name, gal  
Like you never done before  
And it ain’t no use in calling out my name, gal  
I can’t hear you anymore  
I’m a-thinking and a-wonderin’ walking down the road  
I once loved a woman, a child, I’m told  
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul  
But don’t think twice, it’s all right

I can read in your face that your feelings are driving you wild  
Ah, but girl, you’re only a child

Well I can dance with you, honey  
If you think it’s funny  
Does your mother know that you’re out?

That was a hit before your mother was born  
Though she was born a long long time ago  
Your mother should know (your mother should)
