Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight, someone saved my life tonight
Someone saved my life tonight
So save your strength and run the field you play alone
I don’t need you to worry for me 'cause I’m alright;
I don’t want you to tell me it’s time to come home.
I don’t care what you say anymore this is my life;
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone.
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all now to me, girl, while you’ve got the strength to speak
'Cause they’re waiting for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask
And don’t call for your surgeon, even he says it’s too late
It’s not your lungs this time, it’s your heart that holds your fate
Don’t give me my money, honey, I don’t want it back
You and your pony face and your Union Jack
Doctoe, Doctor gimme the news,
I got a bad case of loving you,
No pill’s gonna cure my ills,
I got a bad case of loving you…
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I called the doctor on the telephone,
Said “Doctor, doctor, please (ah ah ah),
I got this feeling, rocking and a’reeling,
Tell me, what can it be, is it some new disease?”
“They call it boogie fever–
You got to boogie down (just get on down),
Boogie fever, I think it’s going around.”
Here I am
Prayin’ for this moment to last
Livin’ on the music so fine
Borne on the wind
Makin’ it mine
Night fever, night fever
We know how to do it
Gimme that night fever, night fever
We know how to show it
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that’s so hard to bear
You give me fever (you give me fever) when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight (you give me fever)
Fever in the mornin’
Fever all through the night
I got the rockin’ pneumonia,
And the boogie-woogie flu…
It ain’t a matter of your convenience
That’s gonna justify your soul
Just don’t try to lay no boogie woogie
On the king of rock and roll
I think I’m so educated and I’m so civilized
'Cause I’m a strict vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
And the crazy politicians
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
I don’t want to die in a nuclear war
I want to sail away to a distant shore
And make like an Apeman
I’m an Apeman, I’m an Ape Apeman
No, I’m an Apeman
Well, I’m a King Kong man, I’m a Voo-Doo man
No, I’m an Apeman
Gitarzan!
He’s a guitar man!
He’s all you can stand.
Give him a hand.
Gitarzan!
Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out’ the trees
Now I’m on my knees
Cover me, darling please, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know when you’re going to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can’t take any more
Darling, don’t you monkey with the monkey, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don’t you know you’re going to shock the monkey
The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
They’re dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.
Molasses to rum to slaves
Oh, what a beautiful waltz
You dance with us, we dance with you
In molasses and rum and slaves
Who sail the ships out of Boston?
Laden with bibles and rum
Who drinks a toast
To the Ivory Coast?
“Hail Africa, the slavers have come!”
New England with bibles and rum
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to now
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
But neither one knew how
We drank a toast to innocence
We drank a toast to time
Reliving, in our eloquence
Another “Auld Lang Syne”
That’s not the beginning of the end
That’s the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
[Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion]
Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion
Don’t be afraid to be weak
Don’t be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence.
In that case I don’t want nobody
I do believe that that would only break my heart
Oh, but if you feel like lovin’ me
If you got the notion,
I second that emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion.
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was)
Letting the days go by (same as it ever was)
Once in a lifetime
Letting the days go by
Letting the days go by
Well, I won’t have to chop no wood,
I can be bad,
I can be good,
I can be any way that I feel,
One of these days…
