There were three men, came out of the west
Their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn must die!
Well, they’ve ploughed,
They’ve sown, they’ve harrowed him in
Threw clouds upon his head
Till these three men were satisfied
John Barleycorn was dead
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts, we traverse far
Field and fountain
Moor and mountain
Following yonder star
Though I dream in vain,
In my heart, it will remain,
My stardust melody,
The memory of love’s refrain.
Yeah, she dances to a her own beat
'Cause she’s the muse and the artist
Always leaves a trail of stardust
(Ooh) 'Cause she’s a little bit of Yoko
(Ooh) And she’s a little bit of, “Oh no”
From LA, Miami, to New York City!
Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo, too
The future was wide open
Brenda and Eddie were the popular steadys,
And the king and the queen of the prom.
Riding around with the car top down and the radio on,
Nobody looked any finer,
Or was more of a hit at the Parkway Diner.
We never knew we could want more than that out of life.
Surely, Brenda and Eddie would always know how to survive.
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew I’d find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think it’s time I live my life on my own
I guess it’s just what I must do
In some secluded rendezvous
That overlooks the avenue
With someone sharing a delightful chat
Of this and that
And cocktails for two
Drink to me only with thine eyes
And I will pledge with mine.
Or leave a kiss within the cup
And I’ll not ask for wine.
Master of the house, keeper of the zoo
Ready to relieve ‘em of a sou or two
Watering the wine, making up the weight
Pickin’ up their knick-knacks when they can’t see straight
Everybody loves a landlord
Everybody’s bosom friend
I do whatever pleases
Jesus! Won’t I bleed 'em in the end!
Our house is a very very very fine house…
With two cats in the yard
Life used to be so hard
Now everything’s easy cause of you…
But you’re always welcome at our house
Any time of the day
Yes
You’re always welcome at our house
And we hope you will stay
Come on-a my house, my house, I’m gonna give you candy
Come on-a my house, my house, I’m gonna give a you
Apple, a plum and apricot-a too eh
Come on-a my house, my house a come on…
Our house, it has a crowd
There’s always something happening
And it’s usually quite loud
Our mum she’s so house-proud
Nothing ever slows her down and a mess is not allowed.
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
And in my hour of darkness
She’s standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be…
Last night a little dancer came dancin’ to my door
Last night a little angel Came pumpin cross my floor
She said “Come on baby I got a license for love
And if it expires pray help from above”
In the midnight hour she cried more, more, more
With a rebel yell she cried more, more, more
In the midnight hour babe more, more, more
With a rebel yell more, more, more
More, more, more
When you’re weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I’ll dry them all.
I’m on your side, oh, when times get rough,
And friends just can’t be found,
Then like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down;
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
I’m on the highway to hell,
On the highway to hell,
Highway to hell,
I’m on the highway to hell…
Highway to the Danger zone
I’ll take you
Right into the Danger zone
