Chalk on the sidewalk
Writin’ on the wall
Everybody knows it
I love Paul
Tall Paul, tall Paul
Tall Paul, he’s-a my all
Almost busted in Laredo
But for reasons that I’d rather not disclose
But if you’re staying in a motel there and leave
Just don’t leave nothing in your clothes
And at the airport in Milwaukee
They refused to let us board the plane at all
They said we looked suspicious
But I believe they like to pick on me and Paul
It’s late and she’s waiting
And I know I should go home
But every time I start to leave
They play another song
Then someone buys another round
And wherever drinks are free
What’s made Milwaukee famous
Has made a fool out of me
Beer from Milwaukee
The very best in town
It makes you so talky
Drink it down, drink it down, drink it down
A toast to Milwaukee
so raise your glasses high
And you’ll chugalug until your dry
and raise your spirits to the sky
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight
shlemiel, schlemazel, hasenpfeffer incorporated
We’re gonna do it
Give us any chance, we’ll take it
Read us any rule, we’ll break it
We’re gonna make our dreams come true
Doin’ it our way
And it’s one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die.
And he can see no reasons
Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die
I opened the paper, there was your picture
Gone, gone, gone by your own hand
Oh, I remember “There But For Fortune”
There but for fortune you and I would go
Fortune turned its back on you
Or so it must have seemed to you
Christ alone knows what was the final blow
Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone
Susanne the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can’t remember who to send it to
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river,
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night forever,
And you know that she’s half-crazy but that’s why you want to be there,
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China…
Well, say that you’ll be true and never leave me blue, Susie Q
Take me down little Susie, take me down
I know you think you’re the queen of the underground
And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the mail
Send me dead flowers to my wedding
And I won’t forget to put roses on your grave
Paper roses, paper roses,
Oh how real those roses seem to me.
But they’re only imitation,
Like your imitation love for me.
Your empty passion won’t satisfy me, I know
So don’t pretend that you want me
You don’t want me
No!
Say, its only a paper moon
Sailing over a cardboard sea
But it wouldn’t be make-believe
If you believed in me
Sailing takes me away to where I’ve always heard it could be,
Just a dream and the wind to carry me,
And soon I will be free…
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dreams come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on, dream on
Dream on
Aaaaah!
The dream police
They live inside of my head
The dream police
They come to me in my bed
The dream police
They’re coming to arrest me
Oh no
Is it the man come to take me away?
Why do they follow me?
It’s not the future that I can see
It’s just my fantasy
Yeah!
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Who can it be now?
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know
So he chases them away
Someday yet he’ll begin his life again
Whispering hands, carry him away
