Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
(Tell me lies, tell me, tell me lies)
Oh, no-no, you can’t disguise
(You can’t disguise, no, you can’t disguise)
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies
Say you know our love’s eternal tell me what I want to hear
Say you feel the same old magic that I feel when you are near
Whisper love words and sing me love songs tell me what I want to hear
Strange stories pass around
Strange stories about you
Low voices speak so loud
I thought that I knew
Now I do
Close my eyes, close my ears
Nothing can hurt me
Now I know
No more doubts, no more fears
No more guessing
Now I know
You’re sailing softly through the sun
In a broken stone age dawn
You fly so high
I get a strange magic
Oh, what a strange magic
Oh, it’s a strange magic
Got a strange magic
Got a strange magic
I can feel the hand of a stranger
And it’s tightening around my throat
Heaven help me, Heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat
I’m your captain, I’m your captain
Though I’m feeling mighty sick
Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
She put the lime in the coconut, she called the doctor
Woke him up and said, “Doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take
I say, doctor, to relieve this bellyache
I say, doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take
I say, doctor, to relieve this bellyache?”
Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again
Oh I’ll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell
Every day I pray for you
Every day I pray
Every night I think about…
Every day I pray
I pray-for better things to come
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I’m still standing here
And you’re miles away
And I’m wondering why you left
Here I am again in this mean old town
And you’re so far away from me
And where are you when the sun go down?
You’re so far away from me
You’re so far away from me
So far I just can’t see
You’re so far away from me
You’re so far away from me, alright
Mars happy nation, sit on my karma
Dame meditation, take me away
Little wonder then, little wonder
You little wonder, little wonder you
Sending me so far away, so far away
Gimme the sound of the rolling dice
Gimme a whiskey, don’t think twice
Deal me the card that takes my blues away
Take me away to Marseilles
Oh my, my, my, I’m the lone crap shooter
Playin’ the field ev’ry night
Baby, I can’t stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumblin’ dice (Call me the tumblin’)
Got to roll me (ya yes), got to roll me, got to roll me (Oh yeah)
Hey hey, my my
Rock and roll can never die
There’s more to the picture
Than meets the eye.
Hey hey, my my.
Oh baby, rock ‘n’ roll is here to stay
It will never die
It was meant to be that way
Though I don’t know why
I don’t care what people say
Rock ‘n’ roll is here to stay
(We don’t care what people say)
(Rock ‘n’ roll is here to stay)
Didn’t have the money 'round to buy a Morry Thou
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow
Begged and borrowed sometimes, I admit I even stole
The worse crime that I ever did, was playing rock 'n roll
Anyway, I got off with a caution, a year’s conditional discharge, but I’ll always
remember that policeman and his boogie-woogie, so don’t try to lay no
boogie-woogie on the king of rock and roll.
One night I was layin’ down
I heard mama ‘n papa talkin’
I heard papa tell mama
“Let that boy boogie-woogie
It’s in him, and it got to come out”
And I felt so good
And I went on boogie’n just the same
He was a famous trumpet man from out Chicago way
He had a boogie style that no one else could play
He was the top man at his craft
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft
He’s in the army now, a blowin’ reveille
He’s the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B
Valley Forge, Custer’s ranks,
San Juan Hill and Patton’s tanks,
And the Army went rolling along.
Minute men, from the start,
Always fighting from the heart,
And the Army keeps rolling along.
[Just the Navy one left for me to use.
