The moon stood still
On Blueberry Hill
And lingered until
My dream came true
But the Fool on the Hill
Sees the sun going down,
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
You spin me right round, baby
Right round like a record, baby
Right round, round, round
I want your love
I want your love
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me
Long as you love me, it’s all right
Bend me, shape me
Anyway you want me
You got the power to turn on the light
Baby, baby you know it’s true
I’m a puppet just for you
I’ll do any little thing you say
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Dark chambers of my mind
Locked around the neck of my love
None of you understand and it doesn’t matter
To a broken marionette like me
An errant soul, homeless and foul
An errant soul, homeless and foul
All gone but the will to live to tell the, to tell the tale
We skipped the light fandango
Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor
I was feeling kinda seasick
But the crowd called out for more
The room was humming harder
As the ceiling flew away
When we called out for another drink
The waiter brought a tray
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly
Turned a whiter shade of pale
Say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud
Say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud
One more time, say it loud, I’m black and I’m proud, huh!
I’m white inside, but that don’t help my case
Cause I can’t hide what is on my face
I’m so forlorn. Life’s just a thorn
My heart is torn. Why was I born?
What did I do to be so black and blue?
It’s not that easy being green;
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves.
When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold-
or something much more colorful like that.
This frog has some climbing to do
This frog has some dreams that he’s makin come true
This frog never will falter, no not through slush or fog
This frog will not wear a halter, cause nothing halts this frog!
I made myself a promise as a young green pollywog:
I’ll be on top!
Nothing can stop (Nothing can stop) THIS FROG!
(THIS FROG! THIS FROG! THIS FROG)
I’m in love with a big blue frog,
A big blue frog loves me.
It’s not as bad as it appears
He wears glasses and he’s six foot three.
Ain’t got no home
A-no place to roam
Ain’t got no home
A-no place to roam
I’m a lonely boy
I ain’t got a home
I got a voice
I love to sing
I sing like a girl
And I sing like a frog
I’m a lonely boy
I ain’t got a home
When I was ten years old, I was told
You can’t play baseball
You’ve got to pitch underhand
You can’t throw it like a man
It won’t be any fun at all
Girls don’t know how to have fun
Girls don’t last in the long run
Girls give birth and stuff but
They’re not really tough enough
Now all over this big wide world
I play like a girl
From the California lights to the Serengetti nights
I play like a girl
From the watchtowers I’ve been spotted
Fingers pointing at my mouth
Spotlights turn and pivot towards me
But I dare not make a sound
How can I sing like a girl
And not be stigmatized
By the rest of the world?
All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl, hey.
I know every trail in the Lone Star State
'Cause I ride the range in a Ford V-8
Yippie yi yo kayah
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Riding out on a horse in a star-spangled rodeo
Like a rhinestone cowboy
Getting cards and letters from people I don’t even know
And offers comin’ over the phone
The clowns wear taffeta don’t you know,
It’s a sparkle and spangle
Jingly jangle, RuPaul on an Appaloosa,
Drag queen rodeo
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
I’m not sleepy and there ain’t no place I’m going to
Hey, Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come following you
