See the curtains hangin’ in the window, in the evenin’ on a Friday night
A little light a-shinin’ through the window, lets me know everything is alright
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind
But I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And your sunglasses on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
The summer wind came blowin’ in from across the sea
It lingered there, to touch your hair and walk with me
All summer long we sang a song and then we strolled that golden sand
Two sweethearts and the summer wind
First the tide rushes in
Plants a kiss on the shore
Then rolls out to sea
And the sea is very still once more
Somewhere, beyond the sea,
She’s there, waiting for me…
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailing
She said, “I’m home on shore leave,”
Though in truth we were at sea
So I took her by the looking glass
And forced her to agree
Saying “You must be the mermaid
Who took Neptune for a ride.”
But she smiled at me so sadly
That my anger straightway died
Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin’
Full time to floatin’
Under the sea
I met you on somebody’s island
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
Then waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn’t remember
I probably couldn’t forget
Jungle love, in the surf, in the pouring rain
Everything’s better when wet
Splish-splash I was taking a bath, ‘long about a Saturday night…yeah
Rub-a-dub relaxin’ in the tub…
Thinking everything was alright…
Some they come for the dance
And some they come for the fight
Either way take your chance
In Brooklyn on a Saturday night
Oh, don’t give us none of your aggravation,
We had it with your discipline.
Oh, Saturday night’s alright for fighting,
Get a little action in.
Dance, dance dance when you hear that beat
Dance, dance dance get up off of your seat
Dance, dance dance let your back bone slip
Let’s go to the place on the Sunset Strip
Oh, baby come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh, baby come on, let me take you where the action is
Oh, baby come on, let me take you where the action is
It’s so neat to meet ya baby where the action is.
A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain’t satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and, baby, satisfy me
You talk too much,
You worry me to death,
You talk too much,
You even worry my pet,
You just talk, talk, too much!
You’ve been talkin’ in your sleep
Sleepin’ in your dreams
Wish some sweet lover
Holdin’ on so tight loving her the way
You used to love me
Talkin’ in your sleep with lovin’ on your mind
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Make him the cutest that I’ve ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
Sandman, I’m so alone (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Don’t have nobody to call my own (bung, bung, bung, bung)
Please turn on your magic beam
Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream
I could never go to no one else
The hurt don’t show but who knows, time will tell
I believe in nothing but the pain
And I can’t see this turning out right
Oh, I’ll be sleeping by myself tonight
Last night I didn’t get to sleep at all, no, no
I laid, waked and watched until the morning light
Washed away the darkness of the lonely night
Last night I got to think maybe I should call you up
And just forget my foolish pride
I heard your number ringing
I were cold inside
Last night I didn’t get to sleep at all
I’m having trouble trying to sleep
I’m counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
Still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind
On my own, here we go
I’m so tired, I haven’t slept a wink
I’m so tired, my mind is on the blink
I wonder should I get up and fix myself a drink
No, no, no.
I’m so tired I don’t know what to do
I’m so tired my mind is set on you
I wonder should I call you but I know what you would do
