Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I’m easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn’t really matter to me, to me
Early in the evenin’ just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they’re starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Down on the corner
Out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin’
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
I’m in love for the first time,
Don’t you know it’s gonna last
It’s a love that lasts forever
It’s love that has no past,
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Don’t let me down
Sock it to me
Floatin’ down the river with a saturated liver
And I wish I could forgive her, but I do believe she meant it
When she told me to forget it, and I bet she will regret it
When they find me in the morning wet and drowned
And the word gets ‘round
I’m goin’ down
I’m goin’ down
You got me running, going out of my mind
You got me thinking that I’m wasting my time
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, ooh-ooh-hoo
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
You’ve got me runnin’
You’ve got me hidin’
You’ve got me run, hide, hide, run
Anyway you wanna let it roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah
You’ve got me doin’ what you want me
A-baby why you wanna let go
Well, I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago
Oh, darlin’
It keeps you runnin’, yeah, it keeps you runnin’
Oh darlin’
I dream about you often my pretty darlin’
(darlin’ you’re so fine)
I love the way you soften my life with your love
Your precious love uh huh oh
You got those big dark eyes that flash at me, baby
You got a head on your shoulders, you know what I mean
You got legs so long like you could walk on air
For you darlin’, I’d go anywhere
For your love, your precious love
I’d do anything, yes I would
I want your love, your precious love
I’ve been too lonely too long
For your love
I’d give the moon if it were mine to give
For your love
I’d give the stars and the sun 'fore I live
For your love
To thrill you with delight
I’ll give you diamonds bright
There’ll be things that will excite
To make you dream of me at night
Have you ever watched a moonbeam
As it slid across your window pane
Or struggled with a piece of rain
Or danced around your weathervane
So you decide if I give up in the end
When is it alright for me to wait for you?
Until a moonbeam holds me in its hands?
Why do you keep making me hold on?
Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
We get it on most every night
And when that old moon gets so big and bright
It’s a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin’ in the moonlight
Well you’re dirty and sweet
Clad in black don’t look back and I love you
You’re dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you’re slim and you’re weak
You’ve got the teeth of the hydra upon you
You’re dirty sweet and you’re my girl
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Get it on, bang a gong, get it on
Oh dear I, baby
Nothing wrong with love
If you want to love me
Just let yourself go
Oh baby
Let’s get it on
Oh, darling
Please believe me
I’ll never do you no harm
Believe me when I tell you
I’ll never do you wrong
You swim in my blood when it’s warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything’s peaches and cream
When I see my baby
What do I see
Poetry
Poetry in motion
Poetry in motion
Walkin’ by my side
Her lovely locomotion
Keeps my eyes open wide
Hah! It’s poetry in motion
And now she’s making love to me
The spheres are in commotion
The elements in harmony
She blinded me with science
(She blinded me with science!)
And hit me with technology
