I feel a bit roughed up, feel a bit frightened
Nearly pin it down some time
Red sail action wake up in the wrong town
Boy, I really get around
Thunder ocean
Thunder ocean
Red sails take me
Make me sail along
Should have taken warning
It’s just people mourning
Running, hiding, lost
You can’t find, find a place to go
So it’s red skies at night (Red skies at night)
Oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Grow and go
Roll over the road
Where the goat explodes all the Os
And the crow flies low
Past the croaking toad
And the boat floats over the ocean
But the wind did blow
far exceeded fair use in printing lyrics.
(o…)
We walked to the sea, just my father and me
And the dogs played around on the sand
Winter cold cut the air, hangin’ still everywhere
Dressed in gray, did he say, “Hold my hand”
I said, “Love’s easier when it’s far away”
We sat and watched a distant light

Thanks for the heads up.
You left me here on your way to paradise
And you pulled the rug right out from under my life
I know where you goin’ to, I knew when you came home last night
'Cause your eyes had a mist from the smoke of a distant fire
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes. The Ink Spots
They ask me through the years
Why I shed these tears.
I of course replied,
When you live in Van Nuys
Smog gets in your eyes.
Are you reelin’ in the years?
Stowin’ away the time
Are you gatherin’ up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine
Are you reelin’ in the years?
Stowin’ away the time
Are you gatherin’ up the tears?
Have you had enough of mine
Well, I looked at my watch, and to my surprise
I was dancin’ with a woman that was twice my size
We were reelin’, reelin’ and rockin’
I was reelin’ and rockin’, and rollin’ 'til the break of dawn
That’s why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It’s got a black beat, you can’t lose it
Any old time you use it
All I got is rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me
One, two, three o’clock, four o’clock, rock
Five, six, seven o’clock, eight o’clock, rock
Nine, ten, eleven o’clock, twelve o’clock, rock
We’re gonna rock around the clock tonight
And it’s one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me I don’t give a damn,
The next stop is Vietnam,
And it’s five, six seven, open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
WHOOPEE we’re all gonna die
Give me an F!
Give me a U!
Give me a C!
Give me a K!
What’s that spell?
What’s that spell?
I see you drivin’ 'round town with the girl I love
And I’m like, “Fuck you” (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn’t enough
I’m like, “Fuck you and fuck her too”
But if looks could kill
There’s a man there who’s marked down as dead
'Cause I’ve had my fill
Listen, you, take your hands from her head
I get so mean around this scene
Hey, hey, hey
Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
'Cause if my eyes don’t deceive me
There’s something going wrong around here
And she’s watching him with those eyes
And she’s loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah, and he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had
Jessie’s girl
I wish that I had Jessie’s girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Jessie!
Jessie, Jessie Bo-bessie
Bo-na-na fanna Fo-fessie
Fee-fi-mo-messie
Jessie!
Uptown girl
You know I can’t afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She’ll understand what kind of guy I’ve been
And then I’ll win
