danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin’,
And her heel kept a-knockin’, and her toes kept a-rockin’
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin’
And we danced by the light of the moon.
In the shadow of the moon,
She danced in the starlight
Whispering a haunting tune
To the night…
Don’t go around tonight,
Well it’s bound to take your life,
There’s a bad moon on the rise.
If your hands start shakin’
When night starts to fall,
If you’re scared of the moonlight
And the shadows on the wall,
If the face in the mirror
Isn’t you at all,
It’s just another full moon.
Next morning came, as mornings do
I had a shave that was close, too (A close shave)
In the mirror, in my space there was a man without a face
I rang my client and I banged on her door
I told her it was me that we was lookin’ for
I was lookin’ for love in all the wrong places
Lookin’ for love in too many faces
Searchin’ their eyes, lookin’ for traces
Of what I’m dreamin’ of
He sees you when you’re sleeping,
He knows when you’re awake
You better be careful what you do,
Cause Santa Claus is watching you
(He’s everywhere! He’s everywhere!)
What you get you’ve got, the rest can be imagination
And what you lose you’ve lost, here comes the instant separation
Careful where you step
There may be a mine under there
I don’t know where we come from
Don’t know where we’re goin’ to
But if all this should have a reason
We would be the last to know
So let’s just hope there is a promised land
Hang on 'til then as best as you can
I hear babies cryin’. I watch them grow.
They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Find a new love, find a new home
Find your way to the promised land
Get yourself together again
C’mon people now,
Smile on your brother
Ev’rybody get together
Try and love one another right now
There comes a time when we heed a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
And in the end, the love you take
Is equal to the love you make.
I don’t want you to be no slave
I don’t want you to work all day
But I want you to be true
And I just wanna make love to you
(Under the boardwalk) Out of the sun
(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be havin’ some fun
(Under the boardwalk) People walking above
(Under the boardwalk) We’ll be making love*
Under the boardwalk, boardwalk

- original lyrics
He said walk like a man
Talk like a man
Walk like a man my son
No woman’s worth
Crawling on the earth
So walk like a man my son
All the kids in the marketplace say:
Walk like an Egyptian.
The earth belongs to everyone
Who ever loved or felt
Their touch belongs to everyone
Who’s ever been to hell
Heliopolis
