Mr. Jones
Put a wiggle in your stride
Loosen up
I believe he’ll be alright
Changing clothes
Now he’s got ventilated slacks
Bouncing off the walls
Mr. Jones is back!
I was down at the New Amsterdam
Staring at this yellow-haired girl
Mr Jones strikes up a conversation
With a black-haired flamenco dancer
You know, she dances while his father plays guitar
She’s suddenly beautiful
We all want something beautiful
Man, I wish I was beautiful
Mrs. Brown you’ve got a lovely daughter,
Girls like her are something rare…
The love between the two of us was dying,
And it got so bad I knew I had to leave,
But halfway down that highway when I turned around I saw,
My little daughter running after me, crying,
“Daddy, don’t you walk so fast
Daddy, don’t you walk so fast
Daddy, slow down some, ‘cause you’re makin’ me run
Daddy, don’t you walk so fast.”
I just can’t get over losin’ you
And so if I seem, broken and blue
Walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride, that’s all that I have left
So let me hide the tears and the sadness you gave me
When you said goodbye
Walk on by, don’t stop
Just walk away, Renee,
You won’t see me follow you back home.
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same;
You’re not to blame.
Walkin’ to Jerusalem,
Marchin’ with Methuselah,
Readin’ signs in Arabic,
Ravin’ like a lunatic…
Lunatic fringe
I know you’re out there
You’re in hiding
And you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming
I know what you’re after
We’re wise to you this time (wise to you this time)
We won’t let you kill the laughter
You’ll be laughing like a lunatic
That just got away
Howling like a hypocrite
At an auto-da-fe
I’m gonna get you in my tent tent, tent, tent, tent
We’ll find out where the woozle went, went, went, went, went
We’ll fill his footprints with cement, ment, ment, ment
We’ll dance the tango in my tent
I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn’t realize but I was waiting
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn’t realize that you were laughing
Wouldn’t believe me when I gave advice
I said that he was a tease
If you want help you better ask me now
So be sincere, convince me with a pretty please
Laugh, laugh, I thought I’d die
It seemed so funny to me
Laugh, laugh you met a guy who taught you how it feels to be
Lonely, oh so lonely
Oh, I hear laughter in the rain, walking hand in hand with the one I love,
Oh, how I love the rainy days and the happy way I feel inside
Everyone’s trying to get out in the rain
Oh, it feels so good
The rain and thinking of you
Soon as I get home, I’m gonna call you
And tell you, how much I love you
Oh, I feel so good
I’ve been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain’t no one for to give you no pain
Midnight at the oasis
Send your camel to bed
Shadows painting our faces
Traces of romance in our heads
Heaven’s holding a half-moon
Shining just for us
Let’s slip off to a sand dune, real soon
And kick up a little dust
Midnight in Montgomery,
Hanks always singing there…
We need a midnight rendezvous
On the freeway with the throttle down
You drive me crazy as we drive around
Alright
All night
The way you look tonight you aim to please
The dress you’re wearin’ is way past your knees
I used to follow
Yeah, that’s true
But my following days are over
Now I just gotta follow through
I remember what my father said
He said “Son, life is simple”
It’s either cherry red or
Midnight blue
Outside the club ‘Cherry Bomb’
Our hearts were really pumpin’
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Say yeah, yeah, yeah…
I’ve been on tenterhooks, ending in dirty looks
List’ning to the Muzak, thinking 'bout this ‘n’ that
She said, “That’s that, I don’t want to chitter-chat”
Turn it down a little bit or turn it down flat
Pump it up, when you don’t really need it
Pump it up, until you can feel it
