Your love is like a tidal wave,
Spinning over my head
Drownin’ me in your promises,
Better left unsaid
You’re the right kind of sinner to release my inner fantasy
The invincible winner and you know that you were born to be
Born to be wild!
Born to be wild!
Wish I were back on the bayou
Rollin’ with some Cajun Queen
Wish that I were a fast freight train
A-just a-choogling on down to New Orleans
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the Bayou – Creedence Clearwater Revival
-“BB”-
I’m going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fun
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I’d be
Black water Hattie lived back in the swamp
Where the strange green reptiles crawl
Snakes hang thick from the cypress trees
Like sausage on a smokehouse wall
Where the swamp is alive with a thousand eyes
An’ all of them watching you
Stay off the track to Hattie’s shack
In the back of the Black Bayou
We built this city
We built this city on sausage rolls
Built this city
Come on babe!
We built this city on sausage rolls
How come you’re always such a fussy young man?
Don’t want no Captain Crunch, don’t want no Raisin Bran
Well, don’t you know that other kids are starving in Japan?
So eat it, just eat it
I’m afraid someday theyll find me
Just stretched out on my bed
With a handful of Pringles Potato Chips
And a Ding Dong by my head
In the daytime I’m Mr. Natural
Just as healthy as I can be
But at night I’m a junk food junkie
Good Lord have pity on me
Well I try try try try try
Mr. Natural (come on baby)
When I walk in the rain you won’t know that I’m crying.
A smile on my face and I’m trying.
I’m trying to understand that a love that is lost can never be found again.
And you see me dance , I look like a happy man .
I can’t get no satisfaction
I can’t get no satisfaction
'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
I can’t get no, I can’t get no
I can’t, I can’t
(As hard as I try, as hard as I try) I can’t, I can’t, I can’t
Oh (as hard as I try, as hard as I try), I can’t
(As hard as I try, as hard as I try)
We got to make this land a better land
than the world in which we live.
And we got to help each man be a better man
with the kindness that we give.
I know we can make it.
I know darn well we can work it out.
Oh yes we can, I know we can can
yes we can can, why can’t we?
If we wanna, yes we can can.
Maybe I’ll be there to shake your hand (Shake your hand)
Maybe I’ll be there to share the land (Share the land)
That they’ll be givin’ away
When we all live together, we’re talkin’ 'bout together, now
I said come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Right now
Right now
We can make it better
We can make it better
We can make it better
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We can change the world now
We can change the world now
We can change the world now
We can save the children
We can save the children
We can save the children
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We can make it happen
We can make it happen
We can make it happen
(Oh, we can make it happen!)
Hey, life, look at me, I can see the reality
'Cause when you shook me, took me out of my world
I woke up, suddenly I just woke up to the happening
I never miss a thing. I’ve had the measles and the mumps.
And every time I play an ace, my partner always trumps.
I guess I’m just a fool, who never looks before he jumps.
Everything happens to me.
The end of everything
You’re dead in me forever
The end of everything
You’re dead in me forever
Try to see it once my way
Everything zen
Everything zen
I don’t think so
Everything zen
Everything zen
Try to see it my way,
Do I have to keep on talking till I can’t go on?
While you see it your way,
Run the risk of knowing that our love may soon be gone.
We can work it out
We can work it out
