Tumble outta bed and I stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’
Out on the street the traffic starts jumpin’
With folks like me on the job from 9 to 5
… Workin’ 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it

Woke up, fell out of bed,
Dragged a comb across my head,
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,
And looking up, I noticed I was late…
I’m late
I’m late
For a very important date
No time to say “Hello” Goodbye
I’m late, I’m late, I’m late
Got a date with an angel,
Got to meet her at seven’
Got a date with an angel,
And I’m on my way to heaven.
There were Seven Spanish angels
At the altar of the sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the valley of the gun…
Los cuatro generales,
mamita mía, que se han alzado,
que se han alzado.
Para la nochebuena,
mamita mía, serán ahorcados,
serán ahorcados.
Madrid, qué bien resistes,
mamita mía, los bombardeos,
los bombardeos.
De las bombas se ríen,
mamita mía, los madrileños,
los madrileños.
Oye como va
Mi ritmo
Bueno pa’ gozar
Mulata
But you don’t have to know the language
If you don’t want to say goodbye.
Now the hacienda’s dark, the town is sleeping;
Now the time has come to part, the time for weeping
Vaya con Dios my darling
May God be with you my love
So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios
May they find whatever they are looking for
Remember when the wine was better than ever again
We could not ask, we could not ask for more
Outward bound upon a ship with tattered sail
Outward bound upon a crooked lonesome trail
Things we learn, we’ll just be satisfied in knowing
And we’ll tell it to our kids as a fairy tale
You say hello
And I say good-bye
Hello, is it me you’re looking for?
'Cause I wonder where you are,
And I wonder what you do,
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Why have you left the one you left me for
Has she heard like me that slamming door
Did you leave for good or just get bored
Why have you left the one you left me for
So perhaps I should leave here
Yeah, yeah, and go far away
But you know that there’s nowhere
That I’d rather be
Than with you here today
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Lyrics
So far away
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place any more?
It would be so fine to see your face at my door
It doesn’t help to know you’re just time away
Long ago I reached for you and there you stood
Holding you again could only do me good
Oh how I wish I could but you’re so far away
I saw the shade come down upon the face in the window of the train
Stood there alone, afraid to go home cuz I knew she wouldn’t be there to meet me again
Take the last train to Clarksville,
And I’ll meet you at the station,
You can be there by four-thirty,
'Cause I’ve made your reservation, don’t be slow,
Oh, no, no, no,
Oh, no, no, no.
Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga choo-choo?
There’s a fairground down in Chattanooga
Where a kiddie train runs up and down the track
There’s an old black hound that always hangs around
And he chases that train down and back
And I’ve been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
Even though I know you don’t care
