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
There’s no mistletoe hanging on my door this year
There’s no Christmas gifts scattered ‘round my floor this year
I’ve done all my shopping at the liquor store this year
And I’ll be drinkin’ Christmas dinner all alone
Whiskey’s too rough
Champagne costs too much
Vodka puts my mouth into gear
This little refrain
Should help me explain
I like beer
Yes, I like beer…
There was once a poor boy
And he left his country home
And he came to the city to look for work
He promised his ma and pa
He would lead a civilized life
And always shun the fatal curse of drink
Once in the city
He got a situation in a quarry
And there he made the acquaintance of some college students
He little thought they were demons
For they wore the best of clothes
But the clothes do not always make the gentleman
They tempted him to drink
And they said he was a cow’rd
And at last he took the fatal glass of beer
A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild
And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy
I got wiring loose inside my head
I got books that I never ever read
I got secrets in my garden shed
I got a scar where all my urges bled
I got people underneath my bed
I got a place where all my dreams are dead
Swim with me into your blackest eyes
I got chills
They’re multiplying
And I’m losing control
Cause the power you’re supplying
It’s electrifying!
The girl is at your side, are you gonna do it
She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it
She wants to multiply, are you gonna do it
I know you won’t be satisfied until you do it
And then I started thinkin’ about no more winkin’
At the pretty little gals a-boppin’ by
No more dancin’ and new romancin’
Lord, it made me want to sit down and cry
Aw, no pool shootin’ and a rootin’ and a-tootin’
With the boys if I take you for my wife
I can’t go no place, I gotta look at your face
For the rest of my dog gone life
This is it!
Well then what’s to be the reason for becoming man and wife?
Is it love that brings you here or love that gives you life?
For if loving is the answer then who’s the giving for?
Do you believe in something that you’ve never seen before?
Oh, there’s love; oh, there’s love…
Stop right there
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further
Do you love me?
Will you love me forever?
Do you need me?
Will you never leave me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
Strange girl sing
Think all my life to me
Wild things you bring
Bring drums and bells to me
We dance and sway
Sway like the drunken priest
We dream all day
Day of the wedding feast
Hey little sister, what have you done?
Hey little sister, who’s the only one?
Hey little sister, who’s your superman?
Hey little sister, who’s the one you want?
Hey little sister, shotgun!
It’s a nice day to start again
It’s a nice day for a white wedding
It’s a nice day to start again
You don’t tug on Superman’s cape
You don’t spit into the wind
You don’t pull the mask off that old Lone Ranger
And you don’t mess around with Jim
Superman or Green Lantern ain’t got a-nothin’ on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'Bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you’ve made your mind up forever to be mine
I’ll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you’ve made your mind up forever to be mine
Lois Lane please put me in your plan
Yeah, Lois Lane you don’t need no Superman
Come on downtown and stay with me tonight
I got a pocket full of kryptonite
I will have you, yes, I will have you
I will find a way, and I will have you
Like a butterfly, a wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you
Out on the new horizon
You may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings
And if the sleep has left your ears
You might hear footsteps running through an open meadow
Don’t be concerned, it will not harm you
It’s only me pursuing somethin’ I’m not sure of
Across my dreams with nets of wonder
I chase the bright elusive butterfly of love
Well I’ve had dreams enough for one
And I’ve got love enough for three
I have my hopes to comfort me
I’ve got my new horizons out to sea
But I’m never going to lose your precious gift
It will always be that way
Cos I know I’m going to find my own peace of mind
Someday
Somewhere, beyond the sea,
Somewhere, waiting for me,
My lover stands on golden sands,
And watches the ships that go sailing.
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
