She comes in colors everywhere  
She combs her hair  
She’s like a rainbow  
Coming, colors in the air  
Oh, everywhere  
She comes in colors

Somewhere over the rainbow  
Skies are blue  
And the dreams that you dare to dream  
Really do come true

Why are there so many songs about rainbows  
And what’s on the other side?

All you create  
All you destroy  
All that you do  
All that you say.  
All that you eat  
everyone you meet  
All that you slight  
everyone you fight.  
All that is now  
All that is gone  
All that’s to come  
and everything under the sun is in tune  
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

_“There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it’s all dark.”_

If you believed they put a man on the moon  
(Man on the moon)  
If you believed there’s nothing up his sleeve  
Then nothing is cool

Moonchild  
Lower me down  
Moonchild… lower me down down down down down down

Well I’m listening to an empty void  
You can’t see for they’ve burned before  
Well they take you down to bear your shame  
Longevity in my veins

Yes I’m bein’ followed by a moonshadow  
Moonshadow, moonshadow

Lose my plough, lose my land  
Oh if I ever lose my hands  
Oh i…if, I won’t have to work no more

People see you having fun  
Just a-lying in the sun  
Tell them that you like it this way  
It’s the work that we avoid  
And we’re all self-employed  
We love to work at nothing all day

Every day when I get home from work  
I feel so frustrated, the boss is a jerk  
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed  
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss’s head, because I…

I don’t want to work  
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, hey)  
I don’t want to play  
I just want to bang on the drum all day (I can bang that drum)

The muffin man is seated at the table  
in the laboratory of the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen.  
Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon,  
he gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin  
remnants and brushing his scapular aside,  
Proceeds to dump these inside of his shirt…  
He turns to us and speaks:  
“Some people like cupcakes better.  
I for one care less for them!”

You know I’m fat, I’m fat, come on you know  
(Fat, fat, really really fat)  
Don’t you call me pudgy, portly or stout  
Just now tell me once again who’s fat

When I walk out to get my mail  
It measures on the Richter scale  
Down at the beach I’m a lucky man  
I’m the only one who gets a tan  
If I have one more pie a la mode  
I’m gonna need my own zip code

Hey, hey, hey!  
Here’s Fat Albert  
And I’m gonna sing a song for you  
And Bill’s gonna show you a thing or two

With me and all the gang  
Learning from each other  
While we do our thing

Now, this is a story all about how  
My life got flipped-turned upside down  
And I’d like to take a minute

I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
