I hollered, “Wake up, Jacob, stir up a light!  
Y’ever see a man and a polecat fight?  
Turn on the light and let me in!  
Wake up, Jacob, let me in!”

Wake up, little Susie, wake up

The movie wasn’t so hot  
It didn’t have much of a plot  
We fell asleep, our goose is cooked  
Our reputation is shot

Here’s the moral and the story from the guy who knows  
I fell in love and my love still grows  
Ask any fool that she ever knew, they’ll say  
Keep away from-a Runaround Sue

Day of Judgment, God is calling  
On their knees the war pigs crawling  
Begging mercy for their sins  
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings  
Oh lord, yeah!

Your dividends are coming on the Judgement Day  
Hey some people got a lot to answer for

We walk toward desire,  
Hand and hand  
Through fields of fire  
With only love to light the way  
On the road to Judgement Day

Running Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did the same  
And they swam out to each other through the swirling stream they came  
As their hands touched and their lips met, the raging river pulled them down  
Now they’ll always be together in their happy hunting ground

They call me the hunter, that’s my name  
A pretty woman like you, is my only game  
I bought me a love gun, just the other day  
And I aim to aim it your way

Seems there is no hunter left without his hunting gun  
Can you feel the light, the air is wild open  
Oh you see the light it’s coming through  
It’s there in the distance  
Always offered to me  
Always coming over a hill

Though we’re apart,  
I think of you still.  
For you are my thrill  
On Blueberry Hill.

The thrill is gone  
It’s gone away for good  
The thrill is gone baby  
It’s gone away for good  
Someday I know I’ll be open armed baby  
Just like I know a good man should

Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please  
Bite her, excite her, make her get down on her knees  
Abuse her, misuse her, she can take all that you’ve got  
Caress her, molest her, she always does what you want

I’d rather see you dead, little girl  
Than to be with another man  
You better keep your head, little girl  
Or you won’t know where I am  
(so much for J. Lennon’s rep)

[A clearer and more obvious opening has never existed in this thread to date…]

What’s your name, little girl?  
What’s your name?  
Shootin’ you straight, little girl?  
Won’t you do the same?.

Go away, little girl,  
Let’s call it a day, little girl,  
So go away, little girl,  
Before I beg you to stay.

One more day before the storm!  
At the barricades of freedom.  
When our ranks begin to form  
Will you take your place with me?

It’s the calm before the storm  
It’s the quiet before the war  
It’s the time when all will be decided (All will be decided)  
If nobody hears the echoes on the wind
