Nightlife’s a no-win but nobody noticed
How we killed off the bottles
Looking good on the surface
The dog days barked and the house cat got old
We were Bonnie and Clyde
In the emperor’s new clothes
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts
Oh lordy, they did love
Sworn to be true to each other
True as the stars above
He was her man
He was doing her wrong…
When Johnny comes marching home again,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We’ll give him a hearty welcome then,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
Oh, the men will cheer the boys will shout
The ladies they will all turn out,
And we’ll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
And we’ll all feel gay
When Johnny comes marching home.
Stay down here where you belong
The folks who live above you don’t know right from wrong
To please their king, they’ve all gone out to war
And not of one of them knows what he’s fighting for
Way up above they say that I’m a devil and I’m bad
Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad
They’re breaking the hearts of mothers, making butchers of their brothers
You’ll find more heat up there than there is down below
The whole gang’s whoopin’ up the whoop-de-doo
Me-oh-my, it’s gonna be uproarious
We’ll fly high, tonight we’ll be notorious
Hellzapoppin’, hellzapoppin’, hellzapoppin’
And you’re invited to the party too
Goodbye Joe me gotta go me oh my oh
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
My Yvonne the sweetest one me oh my oh
Son of a gun we’ll have big fun on the bayou
Jambalaya and a crawfish pie and fillet gumbo
Cause tonight I’m gonna see my ma cher amio
Pick guitar fill fruit jar and be gay-o
Son of a gun we’ll have big fun on the bayou
I’m going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fun
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I’d be
He was raised in the swamp in back of a slough
He grew up eatin’ rattlesnake meat drinkin’ homemade brew
Now folks here about call him Gator and everybody knows him well
Meanest man ever to hit the swamp
Folks swear he come straight outta Hell
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side
And it’s a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a brand new chimney put on top
And it’s a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby
And tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?
You spotted snakes with double tongue,
Thorny hedgehogs be not seen;
Newts and blindworms, do no wrong
Come not near our Fairy Queen.
Weaving spiders, come not here;
Hence, you long-legged spinners, hence!
Beetles black, approach not near;
Worm nor snail do no offence.
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And, that ain’t what it takes to love me
You fool
You fool
I don’t like spiders and snakes
And, that ain’t what it takes to love me
Like I wanna be loved by you…
The eensy weensy spider
Went up the water spout
Down came the rain and
Washed the spider out
Out came the sun and
Dried up all the rain
And the eensy weensy spider
Went up the spout again
Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain,
Telling me just what a fool I’ve been,
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain,
And let me be alone again.
Somebody said just forget about him
So I gave that treatment a try
Strangely enough I got along without him
Then one day he passed me right by
Oh well I guess I’ll hang my tears out to dry
Don’t you forget about me
I’ll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Going to take you apart
I’ll put us back together at heart, baby
Don’t you, forget about me
Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
Don’t you, forget about me
Guess I could find somebody, too,
But I don’t wan’t no one but you.
How could you leave without regret?
Am I that easy to forget?
You are my special angel,
Sent from up above.
The Lord smiled down on me,
And sent an angel to love.
You are my special angel,
Right from paradise.
I know you’re an angel,
Heaven is in your eyes.
Undercover angel
Midnight fantasy
I never had a dream that made sweet love to me
Undercover angel
The answer to my prayer
You made me know that there’s a love for me out there
Undercover angel
Midnight fantasy
I never had a dream that made sweet love to me
Undercover angel
The answer to my prayer
You made me know that there’s a love for me out there
I dreamed a dream in times gone by,
When hope was high and life worth living,
I dreamed, that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
