Midnight, not a sound from the pavement.
Has the moon lost her memory? She is smiling alone.
In the lamp light, the withered leaves collect at my feet,
And the wind, begins to moan.
Gold and silver rings and stones
Dances slowly off the moon
No one else can know
She stands alone
Sleeping dreams will reach for her
She cannot say the words they need
She knows she’s alone
And she is free
Ocean gypsy of the moon
The sun has made a thousand nights for you to hold
Ocean gypsy, where are you
The shadows followed by the stars
Have turned to gold, turned to gold
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
And I dare not drown my sorrows
In the warm glow of your mind
You can’t buy my love with money
'Cause I ain’t never was that kind
Silver threads and golden needles
Cannot mend this heart of mine
Darling let me touch your garter
Just one inch above your knee
If, by chance, my hand should wander
Don’t put the blame on me
All the hairs 'round yours are silver
And the hair from mine are gold
Let us put the two together
Silver hairs amongst the gold

Baby take off your coat
Real slow
And take off your shoes
I’ll take off your shoes
Baby take off your dress
Yes yes yes
You can leave your hat on
She has fancy clothes and diamond rings
She has men who give her anything she wants
But they don’t see
That what she wants is me
Fee, fee, fi, fi, fo-fo, fum,
Lookin’ mighty nice, here she comes,
Wearin’ her wig hat and shades to match,
Her high-heel shoes and an alligator hat,
Wearin’ pearls and diamond rings,
She’s got bracelets on her fingers, now, and everything…
Has anybody seen a dog dyed dark green.
About two inches tall, with a strawberry blonde fall;
Sunglasses and a bonnet
and designer jeans with appliques on it?
The dog that brought me so much joy
Left me wallowing in pain.
Quiche Lorraine.
Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde,
And the band played on.
He’d glide 'cross the floor with the girl he adored,
While the band played on.
But his mind was so loaded it nearly exploded,
The poor girl would shake with alarm;
He married the girl with the strawberry curl,
And the band played on.

To please both my parents, I’ve had to give way,
And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers.
Their manners are fine, but their feet are of clay,
And there’s none with the style of my log driver.
For he goes birling down and down white water,
That’s where the log driver learns to step lightly.
Yes, birling down and down white water,
The log driver’s waltz pleases girls completely.
Are you the heavy half
Of the lighter me
Are you the ready part
Of the lighter me
When I came apart
I wasn’t made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
Once he was a child, a beautiful child
A child of clay shaped and molded
Into what he is today
But who is to blame for this child of clay
Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
I was sittin’ in my car, waitin’ for the light to change
When the guy next to me had his finger up his nose
And his face was all deranged
I rolled down the window and I started to chuckle
His finger was buried right up to his knuckle
I can’t help nut stare 'cause I can’t believe what I see
When he pulls it out, it’s a picture of pain
On the end of his finger’s a piece of his brain
And with a smile on his face he flicks it right at me
Talkin’ ‘bout boogers, talkin’ ‘bout boogers, talkin’ 'bout boogers
You get 'em everyday
I wanna to jump but I’m afraid I’ll fall
I wanna to holler but the joint’s too small
Young man rhythm’s got a hold of me too
I got the rockin’ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia.
And after you do, he’ll never phone ya –
I’ll never fall in love again.
Dontcha know that I’ll never fall in love again?

I called the doctor on the telephone (doctor, doctor),
Said doctor, doctor, please, ah ah ah,
I got this feeling,
Rocking and a’reeling,
Tell me, what can it be, is it some new disease?
They call it boogie fever…
Brother bought a coconut, he bought it for a dime.
His sister had another one, she paid it for a lime.
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up;
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up;
She put the lime in the coconut, she drank them both up.
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?”
