“I am", I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am what I am
I don’t want praise I don’t want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it’s noise I think it’s pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a shame 'til you can shout out
I am what I am
I yam what I yam
And that’s all what I yam;
I’m Popeye the sailor man!
I am sailing
I am sailing
Home again
'Cross the sea
I am sailing
Stormy waters
To be near you
To be free
And it’s home, boys home
Home I’d like to be, home for a while in my own coun-try
Where the oak and the ash and the bonny rowan tree
Are all a-growing green in the old country
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of that ship was the Billy o’ Tea
The winds blew hard, her bow dipped down
Blow, me bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin’ is done
We’ll take our leave and go
There’s a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor
Tomorrow for old England she sails
Far away from your land of endless sunshine
To my land full of rainy skies and gales
And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow
Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell
Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship, and here’s what they had to say
“We’re callin’ everyone to ride along to another shore
We can laugh our lives away and be free once more”
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that’s the way it should be
There’s peace in the valley, people got to be free
So come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you’ve never sung, never sung, before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don’t want a war
Ev’rybody’s talking about
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, is-m, is-m, is-m
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Everybody’s talking at me
I don’t hear a word they’re saying
Only the echoes of my mind
People stopping, staring
I can’t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes
I’m going where the sun keeps shining
Through the pouring rain
Going where the weather suits my clothes
Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You got to have a dream, if you don’t have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
Out there in the dark, there’s a beckoning candle
And while I can think,
While I can talk
While I can stand,
While I can walk
While I can dream,
Please let my dream come true… right now
Let it come true right now
Oh, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah
She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The moon, beautiful
The sun, even more beautiful, ah ha ha
(Bow bow) Oh yeah (Chick chicka chicka)
(Doo, bow bow) Oh yeah (Chick chicka chicka)
(Bow bow) Oh yeah (Chick chicka chicka)
Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don’t ya jes’ love it
Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don’t ya jes’ love it
Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom don’t ya jes’ love it
Chick-a-boom chick-a-boom-boom-boom
Any time I need to see your face
I just close my eyes and I am taken
to a place where the crystal mind and
magenta feeling taken shelter in the base
of my spine sweet like a chicka cherry cola
The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I’ll drop a line
And drop me a line (drop me a line)
I’ll be there waiting on the othеr side
Oh, drop me a line (drop mе a line)
You gotta know that forever and always, I’ll be there
