Well, its eight o’clock in Boise, Idaho
I’ll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for later on tonight
I’ll find a little queen
And I know I can treat her right.
I was born in Saginaw, Michigan
I grew up in a house on Saginaw Bay
My dad was a poor, hard-working Saginaw fisherman
Too many times he came home with too little pay
I loved a girl in Saginaw, Michigan
The daughter of a wealthy, wealthy man
But he called me that son of a Saginaw fisherman
And not good enough to claim his daughter’s hand
Now I’m up here in Alaska, looking around for gold
Like a crazy fool I’m digging in this frozen ground so cold
But with each new day I pray I’ll strike it rich and then
I’ll go back home and claim my love in Saginaw, Michigan
Goin up to Alaska
Up to the land of the midnight sun
Where the whale and the polar bear run
Oer the icy blue sea
Goin up to Alaska
Up to the north and the pioneer life
Where courage and strength still survive
And a man can be free
I wanna be free
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea
If your love has to tie me
Don’t try me, say good-bye
I wanna be free
I’m free
I’m free
And freedom tastes of reality
I’m free
I’m free
An’ I’m waiting for you to follow me
If I told you what it takes
To reach the highest high
You’d laugh and say ‘nothing’s that simple’
But you’ve been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!…
Freedom’s just another word for nothin’ left to lose,
Nothin’, don’t mean nothin’ hon’ if it ain’t free, no no,
And, feelin’ good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues,
You know, feelin’ good was good enough for me,
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee.
Freedom! (I won’t let you down)
Freedom! (I will not give you up)
Freedom! (Have some faith in the sound)
You’ve gotta give for what you take (It’s the one good thing that I’ve got)
You’ve got to give a little,take a little.
And let your poor heart to break a little.
That’s the story of.
That’s the glory of love.
You’ve got to laugh a little,cry a little.
Until the clouds roll by a little.
That’s the story of.
That’s the glory of love.
Rows and flows of angel hair
And ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons every where
I’ve looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun
They rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done
But clouds got in my way
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
It’s gonna be a bright (bright)
Bright (bright) sunshiny day
How long, I wondered, could this thing last?
But the age of miracles hadn’t passed
For, suddenly, I saw you there
And in a foggy London Town
The sun was shining everywhere
But what can a poor boy do
'Cept to sing for a rock ‘n’ roll band
Cause in sleepy London town
There’s just no place for a street fighting man
I am just a poor boy
Though my story’s seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises
All lies and jests
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
Promises, promises,
I’m all through with promises, promises now,
I don’t know how I got the nerve to walk out,
If I shout, remember I feel free.
Now I can look at myself and be proud,
I’m laughing out loud,
Oh, promises, promises,
This is where those promises, promises end.
Just when you think you got it down
Your heart in pieces on the ground
They whisper promises in the,
One two three four
Dark…
One, two, three, four
Can I have a little more?
Five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten
I love you
A B C D
Can I bring my friend to tea?
E F G H I J
I love you
One, two, three,
Oh, that’s how elementary,
It’s gonna be.
Come on, let’s fall in love,
It’s easy, (it’s so easy),
Like takin’ candy, (like takin’ candy) from a baby.
A-B-C, (A-B-C)
Fallin’ in love with you,
Was easy for me (easy for me)…
It was just like takin’ candy from a baby
‘Cause I couldn’t resist you from the very start
You had me around your little finger
No trouble at all for you to tip toe in my heart
It’s the first time that I lost my head completely
Oh, you swept me off my feet, just one, two, three
It was just like takin’ candy from a baby
The way you stole my heart away from me
I’ve got the world on a string
I’m sitting on a rainbow
Got that string around my finger
What a world, what a life, I’m in love
I’ve got a song that I sing
And I can make the rain go
Any time I move my finger
Lucky me, can’t you see? I’m in love
I’m singing in the rain, just singin’ in the rain
What a glorious feeling, I’m happy again
I’m laughing at clouds so dark up above
The sun’s in my heart and I’m ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I’ve a smile on my face
I walk down the lane with a happy refrain
Just singin’, singin’ in the rain
