If I were King of the forest
Not queen, not duke, not prince,
My regal robes of the forest
Would be satin, not cotton, not chintz.
I’d command each thing, be it fish or fowl
With a woof and a woof, and a royal growl.
As I walk through this world,
Nothing can stop the Duke of Earl,
And-a you, you are my girl,
And no one can hurt you, oh no…
As I walk this land with broken dreams
I have visions of many things.
Love’s happiness is just an illusion filled with sadness and confusion.
What becomes of the brokenhearted who had love that’s now departed?
I know I’ve got to find some kind of peace of mind.
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my life and realize there’s not much left
‘Coz I’ve been blastin’ and laughin’ so long, that
Even my mama thinks that my mind is gone
But I ain’t never crossed a man that didn’t deserve it
Me be treated like a punk you know that’s unheard of
You better watch how you’re talkin’, and where you’re walkin’
Or you and your homies might be lined in chalk
As I walk through the valley where I harvest my grain
I take a look at my wife and realize she’s very plain
But that’s just perfect for an Amish like me
You know I shun fancy things like electricity
At 4:30 in the morning I’m milkin’ cows
Jebediah feeds the chickens and Jacob plows fool
And I’ve been milkin’ and plowin’ so long that
Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone
Walk through this world with me,
Go where I go,
Share all my dreams with me.
I need you so.
In life we search, and some of us find
I’ve looked for you a long, long time.
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they’d be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn’t take one more step
Step we gaily on we go, heel for heel and toe for toe,
Arm in arm and row in row, all for Mairi’s wedding.
Over hillways up and down, myrtle green and bracken brown,
Past the sheiling through the town, all for sake of Mairi.
Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother’s house we go.
The horse knows the way
To carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.
Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow!
It stings the toes
And bites the nose,
As over the ground we go.
By the rivers of Babylon
Where he sat down and there he wept
When he remembered Zion
But, the wicked carried us away
Required from us, a song…
Song sung blue,
Everybody knows one.
Song sung blue,
Every garden grows one.
I’m a lonely little petunia in an onion patch.
Went to a garden party to reminisce with my old friends
A chance to share old memories and play our songs again
When I got to the garden party, they all knew my name
No one recognized me, I didn’t look the same
Now as the years roll on, each time we hear our favorite song
The memories come along
Older times we’re missing, spending the hours reminiscing
Look at the sign, we’re in the wrong place
Move out boys and let’s get ready to race
Four fifty-four’s coming over the hill
The man on patrol is gonna give us a bill
The time’s real short, you know the distance is long
I’d like to have a jet but it’s not in the song
Climb back in the cab, cross your fingers for luck
We gotta keep moving if we’re going to make a buck
Let it roll down the highway
Let it roll down the highway
Roll
Well I’m not braggin’ babe so don’t put me down
But I’ve got the fastest set of wheels in town
When something comes up to me he don’t even try
'Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly
She’s my little deuce coupe
You don’t know what I got
(My little deuce coupe)
(You don’t know what I got)
Little GTO,
You’re really lookin’ fine,
Three deuces and a four-speed,
And a three-eighty-nine.
Listen to her tachin’ up now,
Listen to her whine,
C’mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out, GTO…
It’s got a Lincoln motor and it’s really souped up
That Model A Vitimix makes it look like a pup
It’s got eight cylinders, uses them all
It’s got overdrive, just won’t stall
With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust
With 4.11 gears you can really get lost
It’s got safety tubes, but I ain’t scared
The brakes are good, tires fair
Little red Corvette!
Baby, you’re much too fast. Yes, you are.
Little red Corvette!
I need to find a love that’s gonna last, uh huh!
Asked a girl what she wanted to be
She said, "baby, can’t you see
I want to be famous, a star on the screen
But you can do something in between
Baby, you can drive my car
Yes, I’m gonna be a star
Baby, you can drive my car
And maybe I’ll love you"
