If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine,
With a nine-foot grand, a ten-piece band and a twelve-girl chorus line.
I’d raise some loot in a three-piece suit, give 'em one dance for a dime.
If the Devil danced in empty pockets, he’d have a ball in mine.
Well the Devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin’ for a soul to steal
He was in a bind ‘cause he was way behind
And he was willin’ to make a deal
When he came across this young man
Sawin’ on a fiddle and playin’ it hot
And the Devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, “Boy, let me tell you what”
Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind
No gal made has got a shade on Sweet Georgia Brown
Two left feet, oh so neat, has Sweet Georgia Brown
They all sigh and want to die for Sweet Georgia Brown
I’ll tell you just why, you know I don’t lie not much
Oh, a door left open, a woman walking by
A drop in the water, a look in the eye
A phone on the table, a man on your side
Or someone that you think that you can trust
Is just another way to die
Stare into an empty room
A chair, a desk, a book on the bed
But no one is there to see my gifts
Loneliness is my only friend
Lonely is the night when you find yourself alone
Your demons come to light and your mind is not your own
Lonely is the night when there’s no one left to call
You feel the time is right, say the writing’s on the wall
Catch the wheel that breaks the butterfly
I cried the rain that fills the ocean wide
I tried to talk with God to no avail
I called him up in and out of nowhere
Said if you won’t save me, please don’t waste my time
Do you believe
God makes you breathe?
Why did he lose
Six million Jews?
Slaves – Hebrews born to serve, to the Pharaoh
Heed – to his every word, live in fear
Faith – of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait – something must be done, four hundred years
Now when he was a young man,
He never thought he’d see
People stand in line to see the boy king.
How’d you get so funky?
Did you do the monkey?
Born in Arizona,
Moved to Babylonia
(King Tut).
All the bazaar men by the Nile,
They got the money on a bet.
Gold crocodiles they snap their teeth
On your cigarette.
Foreign types with their hookah pipes say
Walk like an Egyptian.
It’s just gone noon, half-past monsoon
On the banks of the river Nile
Here comes the boat only half-afloat
Oarsman grins a toothless smile
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it’s breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You’ll get by if you smile
Through your fears and sorrows
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You’ll see the sun come shining through
For you
I can see clearly now, the rain has gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sun-shining day
Little darling, it’s been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it’s been clear
Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It’s alright
Balloons flying
Children sighing
What a day to go kite flying
Breezy school
Away from school
Cowboys fighting out a duel
Time seems to stand quite still
In a child’s world it always will
School’s out for summer
School’s out forever
School’s been blown to pieces
Tell me why?
“I don’t like Mondays.”
Tell me why?
“I don’t like Mondays.”
Tell me why?
“I don’t like Mondays,
I wanna shoot the whole day down.”
Monday morning you look so fine
Friday I got travelin on my mind
First you love me, then you fade away
I can’t go on believin’ this way
I got nothing but love for you
So tell me what you really wanna do
First you love me then you get on down the line
But I don’t mind
I dont’t mind, yeah
I’ll be there if you want me to
No one else that could ever do
Got to get some peace in my mind.
