Sing, sing a song
Make it simple to last
Your whole life long
Don’t worry that it’s not
Good enough for anyone
Else to hear
Just sing, sing a song
Sing, sing, sing, sing
everybody start to sing
like dee dee dee, bah bah bah dah
Now you’re singin’ with a swing
It don’t mean a thing
If it ain’t got that swing
(doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah
Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)
It don’t mean a thing
All you got to do is sing
(doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah
Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah)
I been told when a boy kiss a girl,
Take a trip around the world,
Hey, hey, (bop shuop, m’bop bop shuop)
Hey, hey, (bop shuop, m’bop bop shuop)
Hey, hey, (bop shuop) yeah, she say ya do. (Bop shuop)
'Cause all around the world people want to be loved (yeah)
'Cause all around the world they’re no different than us (no)
All around the world people want to be loved
All around the world they’re no different than us
All around the world
All around the world
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, please listen, that’s the way it should be
There’s peace in the valley, people got to be free
All we are saying is;
Give peace a chance…
People all over the world (on this train)
Join in (ride the train)
Start a love train, love train (ride the train, y’all)
People all over the world (come on)
Join hands (you can ride or stand, yeah)
Start a love train, love train (makin’ love)
People all over the world ('round the world, y’all)
Join hands (come on)
Start a love train, love train
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
Is just a freight train comin’ your way
Well, if they freed me from this prison
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I’d move out over a little
Farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison
That’s where I want to stay
And I’d let that lonesome whistle
Blow my blues away
Penitentiaries is packed with promise makers
Never realize the precious time that bitch n****s is wastin’
Institutionalized, I live my life a product made to crumble
But too hardened for a smile, we’re too crazy to be humble (we ballin’)
Catch me father please, cause I’m fallin’, in the liquor store
That’s the Hennessy, I hear ya callin’, can I get some more?
Hail ‘til I reach Hell, I ain’t scared
Mama checkin’ in my bedroom; I ain’t there
I got a head with no screws in it, what can I do?
One life to live but I got nothin’ to lose, just me and you
On a one way trip to prison, sellin’ drugs
We all wrapped up in this livin’, life as Thugs
His car drives away with teenagers in it,
The driver tells his buddies, got one life to live,
They scream into the night “Let’s get it over with”
The highway’s jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody’s out on the run tonight
But there’s no place left to hide
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels,
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields.
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-oh-one–
I don’t know where I’m running now, I’m just running on.
My baby she’s a’traveling on the one after 909,
I said move over honey I’m traveling on that line,
I said move over once, move over twice,
Oh, baby don’t be cold as ice,
She’s traveling on the one after 909…
Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free
I’m gonna pack my bags because this great big world is calling me
Every pretty girl’s gonna know I’m around
They’re gonna know I’m in town on a harem holiday
Boston at last, and the plane’s touching down,
The hostess is handing the hot towels around.
From a terminal gate to a black limousine,
It’s a ten minute ride to the Holiday Inn.
Please come to Boston for the Springtime,
I’m staying here with some friends,
They’ve got lots of room…
Little darling, it’s been a long cold lonely winter,
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been here.
Here comes the sun,
Here comes the sun, and I say,
It’s all right.
Beck, somehow, I knew it would be you who would follow my entry with “Please Come to Boston.” Nicely played!
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain,
Sunny you smiled at me, and really eased my pain,
Sunny, one so true I love you…
( I knew you would know:))
