I couldn’t take it any longer
Lord I was crazed
And when the feeling came upon me
Like a tidal wave
I started swearing to my god and on my mother’s grave
That I would love you to the end of time
I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
So now I’m praying for the end of time
To hurry up and arrive
'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
I don’t think that I can really survive
I’ll never break my promise or forget my vow
But God only knows what I can do right now
I’m praying for the end of time
It’s all that I can do
Praying for the end of time,
So I can end my time with you!
If you should ever leave me
Well, life would still go on, believe me
The world could show nothing to me
So what good would living do me?
God only knows what I’d be without you
But if I’d ever leave you, it couldn’t be in autumn
How I’d leave in autumn I never will know
I’ve seen how you sparkle when fall nips the air
I know you in autumn and I must be there
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
But in the autumn of my years
I noticed the tears
And I knew that our life
Was in the past
Though I tried to pretend
I knew it was the end
For the autumn of my life
Had come at last
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting?
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-nighting
Glittering crowds
And shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They’re making me feel
I’m home
Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can’t keep myself from talking
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
Come over and see me
Come over and please me
Alice, it’s my turn today
All the young girls love Alice
Tender young Alice, they say
If I give you my number
Will you promise to call me?
Wait till my husband’s away
My name isn’t Alice
But I’ll keep looking, I’ll keep looking for Wonderland
My name isn’t Alice
But I’ll keep looking, I’ll keep looking for Wonderland, Wonderland
Remember Alice? It’s a song about Alice. Alice came by and with a few
nasty words to Obie on the side, bailed us out of jail, and we went back
to the church, had a another thanksgiving dinner that couldn’t be beat,
and didn’t get up until the next morning, when we all had to go to court.
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don’t do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall
“Kids are different today,” I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she’s not really ill, there’s a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother’s little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day
Take your protein pill and put your helmet on
Dead On Your Feet, You Won’t Get Far
If You Keep On Sticking Your Hand
In The Medicine Jar.
I was feeling, so bad
I asked my family doctor just what I had
I said Doctor (Doctor)
Mr. M.D. (Doctor)
Now can you tell me what’s ailing me (Doctor)
Put de lime in the coconut and drink ‘em bot’ togedder
Put de lime in the coconut, and you feel better
Put de lime in the coconut, drink ‘em bot’ up
Put de lime in the coconut and call me in the morning
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
Come, mister tally man, tally me banana
Daylight come and me wan’ go home
Lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet,
But the fruit of the lemon is impossible to eat.
Yellow bird, up high in banana tree
Yellow bird, you sit all alone like me
Did your lady friend leave the nest again?
That is very sad, makes me feel so bad
You can fly away, in the sky away
You’re more lucky than me
The leaves blow
Across the long, black road
To the darkened skies
In it’s rage
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
