I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
I’m gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
I’m gonna study, study, war no more
The water is wide
I cannot get o’er
And neither have I wings to fly
Give me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row my love and I
Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sail, hallelujah
Jordan’s river is chilly and cold, hallelujah
Chills the body but not the soul, hallelujah
Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, come on get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shining, come on get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, come on get happy
We’re going to the Promised Land
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
For lord our God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
For lord our God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Didn’t give me much to work with there, panache, but I’m up to the challenge! 
I’m your vehicle, baby
I’ll take you anywhere you want to go
I’m your vehicle, woman
By now I’m sure you know
That I love ya (love ya)
I need ya (need ya)
I want ya
Got to have you, child
Great God in Heaven you know I love you
And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you, I need you
But-there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you
Now don’t be sad
'Cause two out of three ain’t bad
Now don’t be sad
'Cause two out of three ain’t bad
I need you, like the flower needs the rain,
You know I need you, guess I’ll start it all again,
You know I need you, I need you.
I need you, like the winter needs the spring,
You know I need you, guess I’ll start it all again,
You know I need you, I need you.
The flowers that bloom in the spring
Tra la
Breathe promise of merry sunshine —
As we merrily dance and we sing
Tra la
We welcome the hope that they bring
Tra la
Of a summer of roses and wine
Of a summer of roses and wine
The days of wine and roses
Laugh and run away like a child at play
Through a meadow land
Toward a closing door
A door marked “nevermore”
That wasn’t there before
Someone’s knockin’ at the door,
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell.
Someone’s knockin’ at the door,
Somebody’s ringin’ the bell.
Do me a favor,
Open the door and let 'em in…
Open the door, Richard
Open the door and let me in
Open the door, Richard
Richard, why don’t you open that door?
Eat meat on Friday
That’s all right
Even like steak
On a Saturday night
Oh, here’s to the land you’ve torn out the heart of
Richard Nixon find yourself another country to be part of
And here’s to the churches of Richard Nixon and Billy Graham
Where the cross, once made of silver, now is caked with rust
And the Sunday mornin’ sermons pander to their lust
Know it sounds funny, but, I just can’t stand the pain,
Girl, I’m leaving you tomorrow.
Seems to me girl, you know I’ve done all I can,
You see I begged, stole, and I borrowed.
Ooh that’s why I’m easy,
I’m easy like Sunday morning,
That’s why I’m easy,
I’m easy like Sunday morning…
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go, I’m standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye
But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn, the taxi’s waiting He’s blowing his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
'Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane, don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
The first plane hit the other tower, right after I came in
It left a fiery, gaping hole where offices had been
We stood and watched in horror, as we saw the first ones fall
Then someone yelled, “Get out, get out, they’re trying to kill us all”
I grabbed the pictures from my desk and joined the flight for life
With every step I called the names of my children and my wife
And then we heard them coming up, from several floors below
A crowd of firefighters with their heavy gear in tow
Now every time I try to sleep, I’m haunted by the sound
Of firemen pounding up the stairs, while we were running down
“Good God! Don’t jump!”
A boy sat on the ledge
An old man who had fainted was revived (he’s alright)
And everyone agreed it would be a miracle indeed
If the boy survived
“Save the life of my child!”
Cried the desperate mother
The woman from the supermarket
Ran to call the cops
“He must be high on something,” someone said
Though it never made The New York Times
In The Daily News, the caption read
““Save the life of my child!”
Cried the desperate mother”
Rescue me
Oh take me in your arms
Rescue me
I want your tender charms
'Coz I’m lonely and I’m blue
I need you and your love too
