You know there’s always someone
Who’ll be right here for you

And dial my number

And all the other boys try to chase me
So here’s my number
So call me

Don’t be shy (don’t be shy),
Just take your time (just take your time),
I’d like to get to know you (like to get to know you),
I’d like to make you mine (like to make you mine).
I’ve been waiting, standing here so patiently,
For you to come over and have this dance with me.
And my number is Beechwood 4-5789,
You can call me up and have a date, any old time…

36 24 36 hey
I lead a life of crime
Laying out another line
Thinking bout a life of crime
Cause that’s what I’ll have to do
To keep me away from you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday, Dear _______
I started out to get your full attention
But I just have to say
There’s just one thing that I forgot to mention
You’d better stay away
Keep away from me
Keep away from me
Keep away from me
Oh, keep away from me
You always brag about your latest venture
How much you’re gonna make
I’m not opposed to making lots of money
But how much does it take, oh
'Cause I going make you see
There’s nobody else here, no one like me
I’m special
(Special)
So special
(Special)
I got have some of your attention, give it to me
You’re a teaser, you turn 'em on
Leave 'em burning and then you’re gone
Looking out for another
Anyone will do
You’re in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet
Only seventeen
Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer we’re a notorious couple of cats
As knockabout clowns, quick change comedians
Tight-rope walkers and acrobats
We have an extensive reputation
We make their home in Victoria Grove
That was merely our center of operation
For we are incurably given to rove
Isn’t it rich?
Are we a pair?
Me here at last on the ground,
You in mid-air,
Where are the clowns?
Isn’t it bliss?
Don’t you approve?
One who keeps tearing around,
One who can’t move,
Where are the clowns?
There ought to be clowns?
Don’t want your love anymore
Don’t want your kisses, that’s for sure
I die each time I hear this sound
Here he comes, that’s Cathy’s clown
Cathy, I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,
Michigan seems like a dream to me now,
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw,
I’ve gone to look for America.
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
I grew up in a house in Saginaw, Michigan
My dad was a poor, hardworking Saginaw fisherman…
I will live my life as a lobsterman’s wife on an island in the blue bay
He will take care of me, he will smell like the sea
And close to my heart he’ll always stay
She sits on the dock a fishin’ in the water uh, huh
I don’t know her name she’s the fisherman’s daughter uh, huh
Come on down to my boat baby
Come on down where we can play
Come on down to my boat baby
Come on down we’ll sail away.
She smiles so nice like she wants to come with me uh, huh
But she’s tied to the dock and she can’t get free
(You know, a lot of happy, bouncy pop songs are surprisingly dark)
I’m sailing away set an open course for the virgin sea
I’ve got to be free free to face the life that’s ahead of me
On board I’m the captain so climb aboard
We’ll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I’ll try oh Lord I’ll try to carry on
I look to the sea reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But we’ll try best that we can to carry on
A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope and this is what they said
They said come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away come sail away
Come sail away with me
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn’t know how lost I was
Until I found you
I was beat
Incomplete
I’d been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
Hoo, like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
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
Like the pine trees linin’ the windin’ road
I’ve got a name, I’ve got a name
Like the singin’ bird and the croakin’ toad
I’ve got a name, I’ve got a name
