Is there anybody going to listen to my story  
All about the girl who came to stay?  
She’s the kind of girl you want so much  
It makes you sorry;  
Still, you don’t regret a single day.  
Ah girl! Girl! Girl!

Bill I love you so  
I always will  
I look at you and see  
the passion eyes of May  
Oh but am I ever gonna see  
my wedding day?

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,  
and you don’t ask the time of day.  
But you and I, our love will never die,  
but guess we’ll cry come first of May.

There is a blue one  
Who can’t accept the green one  
For living with a fat one  
Trying to be a skinny one  
Different strokes  
For different folks

You sinners drop everything  
Let that harmony ring

Just wave your arms all about  
Let the Lord hear you shout  
Pour that music right out and  
Sing you sinners

I’ve been alive forever  
And I wrote the very first song  
I put the words and the melodies together  
I am music and I write the songs

I write the songs that make the whole world sing  
I write the songs of love and special things  
I write the songs that make the young girls cry  
I write the songs, I write the songs

Thinkin’ of you’s workin’ up my appetite  
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight  
Rubbin’ sticks and stones together make the sparks ignite  
And the thought of loving you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight  
Afternoon delight
