Seventeen and nature’s queen, you all know what I mean
Twenty-one a lone one, you can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful lying there asleep
With the wings of god above you before the spirits meet
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Oh, you come on like a dream
Peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful and you’re mine
Strawberries cherries and an angel’s kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine
He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kinda feelin’ fine
Misty morning, clouds in the sky
Without warning, a wizard walks by
Casting his shadow, weaving his spell
Funny clothes, tinkling bell
He’s a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
Well, shake it up, baby, now (Shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout (Twist and shout)
C’mon c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, baby, now (Come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (Work it on out)
Well, work it on out, honey (Work it on out)
You know you look so good (Look so good)
You know you got me goin’, now (Got me goin’)
Just like I knew you would (Like I knew you would)
Say I know a little
I know a little about it
I know a little
I know a little 'bout it
I know a little 'bout love
And baby I can guess the rest
Little By Little
Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow
We’re neither pure, nor wise, nor good,
We’ll do the best we know.
We’ll build our house and chop our wood
And make our garden grow.
Our house is a very, very, very fine house with two cats in the yard,
Life used to be so hard,
Now everything is easy 'cause of you and our—
I’ll light the fire, while you place the flowers in the vase that you bought today.
Easy to bitch, easy to whine
Easy to moan, easy to cry
Easy to feel like there ain’t nothing in your life
Harder to work, harder to strive
Hard to be glad to be alive
But it’s really worth it, if you give it a try
I’m ready
Ready for the laughing gas
I’m ready for what’s next
Ready to duck
Ready to dive
Ready to say I’m glad to be alive
I’m ready
Ready for the push
And I’m bringing you a love that’s true
So get ready, so get ready
I’m gonna try to make you love me too
So get ready, so get ready 'cause here I come
People get ready
There’s a train a coming
Picking up passengers
Coast to coast
And if I try soon it will show
To keep me strong
And know that I’ve had time
So good from coast to coast
Leavin’ my hard times behind
I like big butts and I can not lie
You other brothers can’t deny
Who’s that walkin’ round here, Mercy,
Sounds like baby patter, baby elephant patter thats what I calls it.
Say up in Harlem at a table for two
There were four of us,
Me, your big feet and you.
You scratch just like a monkey.
Yeah ya do, real cool.
You slide it to the limbo.
Yeah, how low can you go?
Now come on baby, come on baby!
Don’t fall down on me now.
Just move it right here to the Harlem Shuffle.
