Welcome to Atlanta where the playas play
And we ride on them things like every day
Big beats, hit streets, see gangsta’s roamin’
And parties dont stop til’ eight in the mornin’
Early thirties gangster movies,
Set to spellbind population,
From Chicago to Hong Kong,
Via Istanbul, the Talking Tong.
Dirty rats through prohibition,
Money flowed through gangsterism,
Acting out his fantasy,
In Hollywoods vicinity…
Money burns a hole in my pocket
How I wish I had millions of dollars and nothing to do
But just buy pretty presents for you
Money burns a hole in my pocket
How I wish I had oil wells in Texas to keep me supplied
With money while I sit by your side
Every day of the week
We would visit the store
All the beautiful things you see
Would soon be yours
'Cause money burns a hole in my pocket
So I’m bringing your perfume and candy and roses of red
And wishing they were diamonds instead
Gee, I’d like to see you looking swell, baby.
Diamond bracelets Woolworths doesn’t sell, baby.
Till that lucky day you know darned well, baby,
I can’t give you anything but love.
We used to never go to bed angry
But it’s all we ever do lately
And you’re turning away like you hate me
Do you hate me, do you hate me, oh
You can take this heart
Heal it or break it all apart
No, this isn’t fair
Love me or leave me here, oh, oh ah ha
Love me or leave me here, oh, oh ah ha
Love me or leave me here, yeah
Love, love me do
You know I love you
I’ll always be true
So please, love me do
Whoa, love me do
Love me tender,
Love me sweet,
Never let me go.
You have made my life complete,
And I love you so.
Love me tender,
Love me true,
All my dreams fulfilled.
For my darlin’ I love you,
And I always will.
Love me or leave me and let me be lonely
You won’t believe me and I love you only
I’d rather be lonely than happy with somebody else
You might find the night time the right time for kissin’
But night time is my time for reminiscin’
Regrettin’ instead of forgettin’ with somebody else
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes they’re sharing a drink they call “Loneliness”
But it’s better than drinking alone
Sing us a song you’re the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a melody
And you’ve got us feeling alright
Drink in a bar down in Leap Motel
I get involved with the prisoner
She’s got a spell like a seraphim
I figure she is a messenger
She’s at the heart of the festival
She’s got the hands of a picador
She asks the spirits for a romance
She gets a ghost for a paramour
A prisoner cries in the dark of his cell
He knows the price of livin’ in hell
Nobody sees, nobody hears
But nothin’ falls as hard as a prisoner’s tears
I’ve never been locked behind walls of stone
But I’ve been a prisoner deep down in my bones
No judge and no jury but the sentence is clear
And nothin’ falls as hard as a prisoner’s tears
Seldom seen
A scarecrow’s dream
I hang in the hopes of replacement
Castles tall
I built them all
But I dream that I’m trapped in
The basement.
Hangin’ in a field you’ll never know I’m out here
I’m telling you people best beware
I creep into town, I’m hunting my prey
Back on my post by the crack of day
Lock your doors, watch your back, it’s true
Turn around how do you do
I’m the scarecrow man, I’m the scarecrow man
I would not be just a nuffin’
My head all full of stuffin’
My heart all full of pain
I would dance and be merry
Life would be a ding-a-derry
If I only had a brain
They’re Pinky and the Brain
Yes, Pinky and the Brain
One is a genius, the other’s other insane
They’re laboratory mice
Their genes have been spliced
They’re Pinky, they’re Pinky and the Brain
Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain
Yoo-hoo, it’s me
My name is Pinky Lee
I skip and run with lots of fun
For every he and she.
It’s plain to see
That you can tell it’s me
With my checkered hat and my checkered coat
The funny giggle in my throat
My funny laugh like a billy goat.
That’s it’s whooooo
PINKY!
Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
“Virgil, quick, come see
There goes the Robert E. Lee”
Now I don’t mind choppin’ wood
And I don’t care if the money’s no good
You take what you need and you leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
All my ex’s live in Texas,
And Texas is the place I’d dearly love to be,
But all my ex’s live in Texas,
And that’s why I hang my hat in Tennessee.
I was dancin’ with my darlin’ to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see.
I introduced her to my loved one and while they were dancin’
My friend stole my sweetheart from me.
I rode right back across Arkansas
I whipped her brother
I whipped her Pa
I found that Girl with the golden hair
She was riding the Tennessee Mare…
