Sailin’ away on the crest of a wave
It’s like magic
Rollin’ and ridin’ and slippin’ and sliding
It’s magic
And you and your sweet desire
You took me, oh, higher and higher baby
It’s a livin’ thing
It’s a terrible thing to lose
It’s a givin’ thing
What a terrible thing to lose
Livin’ in America, eye to eye, station to station
Livin’ in America, hand to hand, across the nation
Livin’ in America, got to have a celebration
Doot do do do do doot doot, living in the U.S.A.
Doot do do do do doot doot, living in the U.S.A.
Where are you goin’ to?
What are you gonna do?
Do you think that it will be easy?
Do you think that it will be pleasin’, hey hey
Sully is a singer and good one too, doobie doobie doo
show it to him once and he’ll sing it do,
doobie doobie doobie doobie doobie doobie
He will do his duty and his duty is a doobie doobie doo.
do-doo, do-doo, doobie doobie doo
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron-ron-ron, Da doo ron-ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron-ron-ron, Da doo ron-ron
Scooby-Dooby-Doo, here are you.
You’re ready and you’re willing.
If we can count on you, Scooby-Doo,
I know we’ll catch that villain
You can count on me like one two three
I’ll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two
You’ll be there
'Cause that’s what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
1-2-3, oh, that’s how elementary it’s gonna be
C’mon, let’s fall in love, it’s easy (it’s so easy)
Like takin’ candy (like takin’ candy) from a baby
One, two, three, four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for
One two three four
Can I have a little more
Five six seven eight nine ten
I love you
Punished for his written thoughts
Starving for his fame
Working blindly, building blocks
Number for a name
His blood flows frozen to the snow
Red blood, white snow
He knows frozen rivers won’t flow
So cold, so true
Mother Russia-he cries for you
Been away so long I hardly knew the place
Gee it’s good to be back home
Leave it till tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey disconnect the phone
I’m back in the U.S.S.R.
In an apartment on Times Square
You can assemble them anywhere
Held to ransom, hell to pay
A revolution every day
U.S.S.R., G.D.R., London, New York, Peking
It’s the puppets, it’s the puppets pull the strings
Just follow the stairway,
To this lonely world of mine.
You’ll find me waiting here,
In apartment number nine.
Number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number 9, number…
I took my troubles down to Madame Ruth
You know that gypsy with the gold-capped tooth
She’s got a pad down on Thirty-Fourth and Vine
Sellin’ little bottles of Love Potion Number Nine
Workin’ 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin’
Barely gettin’ by, it’s all takin’ and no givin’
They just use your mind and they never give you credit
It’s enough to drive you crazy if you let it
9 to 5, for service and devotion
You would think that I would deserve a fat promotion
Want to move ahead but the boss won’t seem to let me
I swear sometimes that man is out to get me!
Hey I’m not complaining 'cause I really need the work
Hitting up my buddy’s got me feeling like a jerk
Hundred dollar car note, two hundred rent
I get a check on Friday, but it’s already spent
I got in town a month ago, I seen a lotta girls since then
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em but as yet I haven’t met 'em
That’s why I’m in the shape I’m in
Here another Saturday night and I ain’t got nobody
I got some money 'cause I just got paid
How I wish I had someone to talk to
I’m in an awful way
I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin’ out as I was crawlin’ in
I got up so tight I couldn’t unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
