Got a black magic woman
Got a black magic woman
I’ve got a black magic woman
Got me so blind I can’t see
That she’s a black magic woman
She’s tryin’ to make a devil out of me
Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you’re tryin’ to wail a different song
Ha Ha funny how you broke me up
You made the wine now you drink the cup
I came runnin’ every time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin’ in your eyes
Ha Ha very nice to know, that you ain’t got no place left to go
ELO
That is still a major mondegreen for me. Even though I know better, I still hear “medieval” woman instead of “e-evil” woman. ![]()
There was long ones, tall ones, short ones, brown ones
Black ones, round ones, big ones, crazy ones
Out of the middle, came a lady
She whispered in my ear
Something crazy
She said…
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
Spill the wine, take that pearl
While strugglin’ through to meet the latest guru
I was the two-hundredth person in line
I turned to a friend and saw the same in the end
Why don’t we get a little bottle of wine
The Fireballs
Yeah there was ham and there was turkey
There was caviar
And long tall glasses
With wine up to y’are
And somebody grabbed me
Threw me out on my chair
Said before you can eat
You gotta dance like Fred Astaire
Whoo-ee ride me high
Tomorrow’s the day my bride’s gonna come
Oh, oh, are we gonna fly
Down in the easy chair?
(Happy birthday, Bobby)
A chair is still a chair
Even when there’s no one sitting there
But a chair is not a house and a house is not a home
When there’s no one there to hold you tight
And no one there you can kiss goodnight
"I am"… I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
Neil Diamond
I have never brought anybody there
Bring your own chair to sleep in
When we arrive, after the drive
Then you can shower, and talk for an hour
Then sleep in your chair
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn’t
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn’t it good Norwegian wood?
I’ll regret it all in the morning
When I see your smiling face
I’d rather be in any place but here
Richard Thompson
And here I go again on my own
Goin’ down the only road I’ve ever known
Like a drifter, I was born to walk alone
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time
Whitesnake
Last Sunday morning, the sunshine felt like rain
The week before, they all seemed the same
With the help of God and true friends, I’ve come to realize
I still have two strong legs, and even wings to fly
So I, ain’t a-wastin time no more
'Cause time goes by like hurricanes, and faster things
Allman Brothers
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Kansas
Now it’s the same old song
But with a different meaning since you been gone
It’s the same, same old song
But with a different meaning (Since you been gone)
And it breaks me up to hear it
Four Tops
It’s the same old story,
Everywhere I go,
I get slandered, libeled,
I hear words I never heard in the Bible
And I’m one step ahead of the shoe shine
Two steps away from the county line
Just trying to keep my customers satisfied,
Satisfied
Paul Simon
Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ ‘long the street
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to keep your seat
They’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ on the floor
They’ll stone ya when you’re walkin’ to the door
Bob Dylan
There she was just a-walkin’ down the street, singin’
‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
Snappin’ her fingers and shufflin’ her feet, singin’
‘Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do’
Well, I remember seein’ some ad
So I turned on my Conelrad
But I didn’t pay my Con Ed bill
So the radio didn’t work so well
Turned on my record player—
It was Rock-a-day Johnny singin’, “Tell Your Ma, Tell Your Pa
Our Love’s A-gonna Grow Ooh-wah, Ooh-wah”
Zimmie
What’s your name? (What’s your name?)
Who’s your daddy? (Who’s your daddy?)
(He rich) Is he rich like me?
Has he taken (Has he taken)
Any time (Any time)
(To show) To show you what you need to live?
