See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sun rise on a tropic isle
Just remember, darling, all the while
You belong to me
Hello Dolly. This is miss Dolly
It’s so nice to have you back where you belong
You’re lookin’ swell, Dolly. I can tell, Dolly
You’re still glowing, you’re still crowing, you’re still going strong
I will follow you and we’ll both go missing
No I, And we don’t even know where we’re going
But I’m fleeing with you and I’m glowing
Heads Carolina, Tails California, somewhere warmer, somewhere greener,
As long as we’re together…
So blow you old blue northern, blow my love to me,
He’s driving in tonight from California,
He loves his damned old rodeo as much as he loves me,
Someday soon, going with him someday soon.
Blow, blow Seminole wind,
Blow like you never gonna blow again!
Blow, blow, thou winter wind,
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude
As I was a walking down Paradise Street
Way aye blow the man down
A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet
Give me some time to blow the man down!
I took a stroll down Broadway,
Meaning not long for to stay,
When who should I meet but this pretty fair maid,
Come a-traipsing along the highway.
Now, the roving gambler he was very bored
Trying to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said, “I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes, I think it can be very easily done
We’ll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61”
I was a highway man,
Along the coach roads I did ride,
A sword and pistol by my side…
Spreading your love from the tip of a sword
Echoing the reason that poisons you
Thinking you know what’s good for us all
I wish I could reach out…
To silence you
As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains,
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting,
I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier,
Saying “Stand and deliver” for he were a bold deceiver…
I’m the dandy highwayman who you’re too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection (oh-oh)
The way you look you’ll qualify for next year’s old age pension
Stand and deliver, your money or your life
Try and use a mirror, no bullet or a knife
Stand
In the end you’ll still be you
One that’s done all the things you set out to do
Stand in the place where you are
Now face north
Stand in the place where you are
Now face west
Your feet are going to be on the ground
(Stand in the place where you are)
Your head is there to move you around, so stand
Where the river is winding big nuggets they’re finding
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
North to Alaska go north the rush is on
The whole wide world
An endless universe
Yet we keep looking through the eyeglass in reverse
Don’t feed the people but we feed the machines
Can’t really feel what international means
Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe.
Unfinished words like these
Unfinished words like Cheese and Onions
Help me to write
This Marzipan song
