Just to dance with you
It’s everything I need
Before this dance is through
I think I’ll love you too
I’m so happy when you dance with me
Come dancing
Come on, sister, have yourself a ball
Don’t be afraid to come dancing
It’s only natural
Come dancing
Just like the palais on a Saturday
And all her friends would come dancing
While the big bands used to play
Step into Christmas, let’s join together
We can watch the snow fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry, come along with me
Step into Christmas, the admission’s free, oh
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go
Take a look at the five and ten, it’s glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes that glow
It was a lucky April shower
It was the most convenient door
I found a million-dollar baby
In a five and ten cent store
The rain continued for an hour
I hung around for three or four
Around a million-dollar baby
In a five and ten cent store
It was an April morning when they told us we should go
As I turn to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Oh, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Oh, the songs to sing
When we at last return again
Early morning, April four
Shots ring out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
But they could not take your pride
Anybody here seen my old friend Martin?
Can you tell me where he’s gone?
He freed lotta people but it seems the good they die young
I just looked around and he’s gone
And they say there’s a heaven for those who will wait
Some say it’s better, but I say it ain’t
I’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints
The sinners are much more fun
You know that only the good die young, oh, baby
I tell ya only the good die young
Only the good die young
G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten
So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan
Sly in Vietnam, bullet in the head
Bobby OD’d on Drano on the night that he was wed
They were two more friends of mine
Two more friends that died
Georgie’s life ended there
But I ask who really cares
George once said to me and I quote
He said, “Never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it’s too late
You may never get another chance
'Cause youth’s a mask but it don’t last
Live it long and live it fast”
Georgie was a friend of mine
Oh yeah
Christmas was a jolly old time
With Billy Smart’s and Auld Lang Syne
‘Peace on Earth’ was real, it seemed
And LOVE a word as yet not obscene, no, no
Christmas tree smell and those silvery bells
Christmas was a friend of mine
We know of an ancient radiation
That haunts dismembered constellations
A faintly glimmering radio station
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather
The flies and spiders get along together
Cobwebs fall on an old skipping record
She said, “my, my, my, don’t tell lies,
Keep fidelity in your head
My my my, don’t tell lies,
When you’re done you should go to bed
Don’t say hi, like a spider to a fly
Jump right ahead and you’re dead”
I wanna see the mountains in your eyes …
I’ve had all of this life I can handle…
Meet me underneath that big Montana sky…
In and around the lake
Mountains come out of the sky and they stand there
One mile over, we’ll be there and we’ll see you
Ten true summers, we’ll be there and laughing, too
Twenty-four before my love, you’ll see I’ll be there with you
A river, a mountain to be crossed
The sunshine, in mountains sometimes lost
Around the southside
So cold that we cried
Were we ever colder on that day
A million miles away
It seemed from all of eternity
Cold mountain water
The jade merchant’s daughter
Mountains of the Moon, bow and bend to me
Hi ho the carrion crow
Folderol de riddle
Hi Ho the carrion crow
Bow and bend to me
And there’s fire on the mountain
Lightning in the air
Gold in them hills and it’s waiting for me there
Long distance runner, what you standin’ there for?
Get up, get out, get out of the door
You’re playin’ cold music on the barroom floor
Drowned in your laughter and dead to the core
There’s a dragon with matches that’s loose on the town
Takes a whole pail of water just to cool him down
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
Fire! Fire on the mountain
