Love, exciting and new
Come aboard, were expecting you
Love, life’s sweetest reward
Let it flow, it floats back to you
The Love Boat soon will be making another run
The Love Boat promises something for everyone
Set a course for adventure
Your mind on a new romance
Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on (Play on, play on)
Everybody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance
We’re going to party, karamu
Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
We’re going to party, karamu
Fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along
You’re walking along the street, or you’re at a party
Or else you’re alone and then you suddenly dig
You’re looking in someone’s eyes
You suddenly realize
That this could be the start of something big
Here we come, walkin’ down the street.
We get the funniest looks from everyone we meet.
Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees, and people say we monkey around.
But we’re too busy singing to put anybody down.
-“BB”-
Walking through forests of palm tree apartments —
scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
down by the waterhole — drunk every Friday —
eating their nuts — saving their raisins for Sunday.
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows —
they’re fast but they’re lazy, and sleep in green meadows.
Let’s bungle in the jungle — well, that’s all right by me.
I’m a tiger when I want love,
but I’m a snake if we disagree.
Whoa thought it was a nightmare
Lord it was so true
They told me don’t go walking slow
The devil’s on the loose
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Whoa don’t look back to see
In the jungle, the mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle, the quiet jungle
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the peaceful village
The lion sleeps tonight
Near the village, the quiet village
The lion sleeps tonight
(A-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh, a-wimoweh)
“Pata Pata” is the name of a dance we do down Johannesburg way.
And everybody starts to move as soon as “Pata Pata” starts to play - whoo
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Whoo, every Friday and Saturday night it’s “Pata Pata” time
The dance keeps going all night long till the morning sun begins to shine - hey!
Aya sat wuguga sat - wo-ho-o
Saguquga sathi bega nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Hiyo mama hiyo ma nantsi Pata Pata
Saguquga sath’ - hit it!
Aah- saguquga sath’ - nantsi - hit it!
Pata Pata
Willie, bring your little drum.
Robin, get your fife, and come,
And be merry while you play.
Tu-re-lu-re-lu, pat-a-pat-a-pan
We will listen as you play
For the joy for Christmas day.
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Li
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral
Hush now, don’t you cry
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Li
Too-Ra-Loo-Ra-Loo-Ral
That’s an Irish lullaby
We’re the boys of Belfast town,
Rant and roar and ramblin’ round,
We’re Irishmen of high renown,
That’s the boys of Belfast!
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven’t changed that much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin’ if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told ‘em you were livin’ downtown
Drivin’ all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
(The boys are back in town)
Gotta get my old tuxedo pressed
Gotta sew a button on my vest
'Cause tonight I’ve gotta look my best
Lulu’s back in town
Gotta get a half a buck somewhere
Gotta shine my shoes and slick my hair
Gotta get myself a boutonniere
Lulu’s back in town
Say!
Be-bop-a-Lula
She’s my baby
Be-bop-a-Lula
I don’t mean maybe
Be-bop-a-Lula
She’s my baby doll
My baby doll
My baby doll
Let’s Rock!
Bang bang Lulu,
Lulu’s going away,
Lu is going to bang bang
Now Lulu’s going away?
Lulu had a boyfriend,
He could not get enough,
She could never stop him,
He was hooked on makin’ …
See the neon sign
The kids stand in line
And money clutched in hand
They wanna hear that band
Bass is thumpin’
Everybody’s jumpin’
The drummer keeps beatin’
Everybody’s meetin’ down at Lulu’s
Down at Lulu’s
Pump up the jam, pump it up
While you feet are stompin’
And the jam is pumpin’
Look at here the crowd is jumpin’
Pump it up a little more
Get the party going on the dance floor
Seek us that’s where the party’s at
And you’ll find out if you’re too bad
Walking down the road
With an old blade in your hand,
Johnny too bad, that’s what they say
Walking down the road
With a blade in your waist,
Johnny too bad, Johnny too bad
Don’t you play come faking,
You’re looking and mistaking,
Too bad
You’re hurrying and you’re shooting,
You’re losing, told you,
You’re too bad
He got a custom Continental
He got an Eldorado too
He got a thirty two gun in his pocket for fun
He got a razor in his shoe
And it’s bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog
Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Yes, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Bet ya five dollars he’s a good dog too
Old Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
The possum growled, Blue whined at him
