It seems like a lifetime since I saw you
Lover lover, I’ve been away too long
When I see lovers holdings hands and sighing
I hang my head for shame of doing wrong
I wish I was a fool for you
I wish I was a fool for you
I wish I was a fool for you again
Somebody’s knocking should I let him in
Lord it’s the devil would you look at him
I’ve heard about him but I never dreamed
He’d have blue eyes and blue jeans
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he’d been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny’s feet
Johnny said, “Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch, I’m the best that’s ever been”
Little Boy, in a baseball hat
Stands in the field with his ball and bat
Says I am the greatest player of them all
Puts his bat on his shoulder and he tosses up his ball
Ah, Mary Hill sure was fun down at Cherry Hill Park
Playin’ games with everyone ‘til way after dark
In Cherry Hill Park (Cherry Hill Park)
In Cherry Hill Park (Cherry Hill Park)
Whoa, Cherry Hill Park, yeah (Cherry Hill Park)
Talkin’ 'bout Cherry Hill Park (Cherry Hill Park)
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
Saturday in the park
I think it was the Fourth of July
People dancing, people laughing*
A man selling ice cream
Singing Italian songs
Let freedom ring
Let the white dove sing
Let the whole world know that today
Is a day of a reckoning
Let the weak be strong
Let the right be wrong
Roll the stone away
Let the guilty pay
It’s Independence Day
Hear the black nails a-poundin’ now,
Yes, into the coffin of our love.
Well, like a black shrouded hunter now,
Don’t you know that i have killed a snow-white dove,
Oh, i’ve killed a dove!
My sweetheart has gone And I’m so lonely
She said that she and I were through
So I started out drinkin’ for past time
Drivin’ nails in my coffin over you
I’m just drivin’ nails in my coffin
Everytime I drink a bottle of booze
I’m just drivin’ nails in my coffin,
Lord I’m drivin’ those nails over you
Trouble, oh we got trouble
Right here in River City!
With a capital “T”
That rhymes with “P”
And that stands for Pool
That stands for pool
We’ve surely got trouble!
Right here in River City
Right here!
Gotta figure out a way
To keep the young ones moral after school! Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Say hey, good lookin’, what you got cookin’?
How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up with me?
Hey, sweet baby, don’t you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe?
About this love she left behind her ('bout this love she left behind her)
Till I find her I’ll be trying now, every day I’m more inclined to find her
Inclined to find her, inclined to find my baby
Been a-looking everywhere, baby, I really, really care
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten
This is the story of Johnny Rotten
It’s better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he’s not forgotten
Hey, hey, my, my
Rock and roll can never die
There’s more to the picture than meets the eye
Hey, hey, my, my
