I got to have a shot  
'Cause what you got is, oh, so sweet  
You got to make it hot  
Like a boomerang I need a repeat

Gimme all your lovin’  
All your hugs and kisses too

Gimme all your lovin’  
Don’t let up until we’re through

My boomerang won’t come back.  
My boomerang won’t come back!  
I’ve waved the thing all over the place,  
Practiced till I was black in the face,  
I’m a big disgrace to the aborigine race –  
My boomerang won’t come back!

My Boomerang Won’t Come Back – _Charlie Drake_

I want a new toy (oh ay oh), to keep my head expanding (ta)  
I want a new toy (oh ay oh), nothing too demanding (ta)  
Then when everything is in roses everything is static (ta)  
Yeah, my new toy (oh ay oh), you’ll find us in the attic

When I was a little bitty boy  
My grandmother bought me a cute little toy  
Silver bells hanging on a string  
She told me it was my ding-a-ling-a-ling, oh

My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling  
I want to play with my ding-a-ling  
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling

Asked a girl what she wanted to be  
She said, “Baby, can’t you see?  
I wanna be famous, a star of the screen”  
But you can do something in between

Baby, you can drive my car  
Yes, I’m gonna be a star  
Baby, you can drive my car  
And maybe I’ll love you

Wind  
In my hair  
Shifting and drifting  
Mechanical music  
Adrenaline surge  
Well-weathered leather  
Hot metal and oil  
The scented country air  
Sunlight on chrome  
The blur of the landscape  
Every nerve aware

Baby we’ll ride in style  
Movin’ all along

Set my course for the deepest heavens  
Dress me up like a rocket ship  
And drag you screaming into my belly  
Railing, complaining

And I seal my girl inside

The stars are falling from the sky  
And you’re the reason why  
The moon is shining on your face  
And I finally think it’s found its place  
'Cause maybe, baby

Do you wanna do me, do me  
Underneath the moonlight, the moonlight  
Tonight?

The moon appears to shine and light the skies  
With the help of some fireflies  
I wonder how they have the power to shine, shine, shine  
I can see them under the pine  
But don’t hesitate  
'Cause your love, just won’t wait

They dart out with jaws open wide.  
Pharyngeal teeth hold the food tight in side.  
Down the gullet it goes without a chew.  
Then back to the crack where it’s waiting for you.  
So, when you swim in the sea and an eel bites your knee, it’s a moray.  
When you dive near a reef and an eel bites your beef, it’s a moray.

Dust in the wind

Will the wind ever remember  
The names it has blown in the past?  
And with this crutch  
Its old age and its wisdom  
It whispers, “No, this will be the last”  
And the wind cries  
“Mary”
