Oh, I could hide ‘neath the wings  
Of the bluebird as she sings  
The six o’clock alarm would never ring  
But six rings and I rise  
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes  
My shavin’ razor’s cold and it stings

Cheer up, Sleepy Jean, oh, what can it mean  
To a daydream believer and a homecoming queen?

Woke up, fell out of bed  
Dragged a comb across my head  
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup  
And looking up I noticed I was late

Found my coat and grabbed my hat  
Made the bus in seconds flat  
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke  
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

You woke up this morning  
Got yourself a gun  
Your mama always said you’d be the chosen one

She said, you’re one in a million  
You got to burn to shine  
But you were born under a bad sign  
With a blue moon in your eyes

Pain without love  
Pain, I can’t get enough  
Pain, I like it rough  
'Cause I’d rather feel pain than nothing at all

I just wanna fly  
Put your arms around me baby  
Put your arms around me baby

Dance little stranger, show me where you been  
Love can make you hostage,  
Wanna do it again

Put you arms around me baby,  
Put your arms around me baby,  
I just want to fly…

Little sister, don’t you-  
Little sister, don’t you-  
Little sister, don’t you kiss me once or twice  
And say it’s very nice, and then you run  
Little sister, don’t you do what your big sister does

We are family  
I got all my sisters with me (yeah)  
We are family  
Get up everybody and sing

Living life is fun and we’ve just begun  
To gain our share of this world’s delights (high)  
Our high hopes we had for the future  
And our goal’s in sight

One child grows up to be  
Somebody that just loves to learn  
Another child grows up to be  
Somebody you’d just love to burn

Mom loves the both of them  
You see, it’s in the blood (blood, blood)  
Both kids are good to Mom  
Blood’s thicker than the mud

I want some red roses for a blue lady,  
Send them to the sweetest gal in town.  
And if they do the trick, I’ll hurry back to pick,  
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown.

There was a shopping mall  
Now it’s all covered with flowers  
(You’ve got it, you’ve got it)

If this is paradise  
I wish I had a lawnmower

It’s one of those days for taking a walk outside.  
I’m blowing the day to take a walk in the sun,  
And fall on my face in somebody’s new mowed lawn.

No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way…  
Mmm I feel lucky today.

Strolled down to the corner gave my numbers to the clerk

The pot’s 11 million.  
I called in sick to work…

I feel lucky today…
