On the 12th day of Christmas my true love sent to me
12 drummers drumming
11 pipers piping
10 lords a-leaping
Nine ladies dancing
Eight maids a-milking
Seven swans a-swimming
Six geese a-laying
Five golden rings
Four calling birds
Three french hens
Two turtle doves, and
A partridge in a pear tree
Do do do, do do do
Do do do do do do
You do something to me
Something that simply mystifies me
Tell me, why should it be,
You have the power to hypnotize me?
Let me live 'neath your spell
Do do that voodoo that you do so well
For you do something to me
That nobody else could do
June or January, noon or night
Voodoo, if this love’s all that they say
Voodoo, for one favor I pray
Voodoo, won’t you send it my way?
Voodoo
Got a Black Magic Woman
Got a Black Magic Woman
Yeah, she’s a Black Magic Woman
Got me so blind I can’t see
That she’s a Black Magic Woman
She’s tryin’ to make a devil out of me
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her fingertips
Echoed voices in the night
She’s a restless spirit on an endless flight
Woo hoo, witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo, witchy woman
She got the moon in her eye
Woo hoo!
When I feel heavy metal
Woo hoo!
And I’m pins
And I’m needles
Woo hoo!
When I lie
And I’m easy
All the time,
But I’m never sure why I need you.
Pleased to meet you.
Boo-hoo,
You’ve got me crying for you
And as I sit here and sigh,
Says I, “I can’t believe it’s true.”
I just can’t help believing when she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning and a promise of tomorrow in her eyes
And I just can’t help believing when she’s lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs.
This time the girl is gonna stay
I don’t understand the way you think
Saying that she’s yours not mine
Sending roses and your silly dreams
Really just a waste of time
Because she’s mine
The doggone girl is mine
Don’t waste your time
Because the doggone girl is mine
Bill, you know we just left her place,
And we both know what she said.
She doesn’t want to see your face,
And she wishes you were dead!
Now, I know we both love her,
And I guess we always will.
But you’re gonna have to find another,
'Cause she’s my girl, Bill!
Bill I love you so
I always will
and though devotion rules my heart
I take no bows
Oh but Bill you know
I wanna take my wedding vows
Come on Bill
Come on Bill
I got the wedding bell blues
Now chased by the shapes of your vows
Look at the things she allows
Junction fever must have closed down the rail
The gluttonous wind keeps on nibbling the sail
Queuing in the ruins in the wake of the gale
It’s harmony I say
Harmony and me
We’re pretty good company
Looking for an island
In our boat upon the sea
I pay rent on a rundown place
There ain’t no view, but there’s lots of space,
In my heart,
The heart that you own…
You done stomped on my heart
And you mashed that sucker flat
Honey, you just sorta stomped on my aorta
You started going out with guys
I felt us drift apart
And every step you took
Was a stomp upon my heart
Once I had love, and it was a gas
Soon found out you had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, but only to find
Mucho mistrust, love’s gone behind
Don’t be fooled if I should giggle
Like a sappy, happy dope
It’s just the gas, it’s got me high
But don’t let that fact deceive you
Any moment I could die
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…
Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?
