May the Lord protect and defend you.
May the Lord preserve you from pain.
Favor them, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace.
Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer. Amen.
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
Open your eyes
Despite what seems
Longevity
That’s a righteous part of me
Moonchild
Lower me down, lower me down
Moonchild… lower me down down down down down down
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
Don’t blame it on the sunshine
Don’t blame it on the moonlight
Don’t blame it on good times
Blame it on the boogie
You weren’t alive when I started to drive, so don’t put none on me
You didn’t arrive 'til late ‘45 but your head’s in ‘53.
You got what it takes to keep the heads a-spinnin’ down by the old rib shack
And you come across just like a fool grinnin’ in the back of a red Cadillac.
You can’t come across the Astro bridge until you pay the toll
So don’t try to lay no boogie woogie on the king of rock and roll.

Seems my whole life is patterned after 1963
I could go to the picture show
Or catch a country jamboree
Now there’s people picking on the Opry
And we don’t know who they’re with
But there’s too much boogie woogie
And not enough Connie Smith
Hush, hush, hush,
Here comes the Bogeyman!
Don’t let him come too close to you,
He’ll catch you if you can.
Just pretend he isn’t really there,
You will find that Bogeyman will vanish in thin air.
When Mr. Oogie Boogie says
There’s trouble close at hand
You’d better pay attention now
‘Cause I’m the Boogie Man
And if you aren’t shakin’
There’s something very wrong
'Cause this may be the last time
You hear the boogie song, oh
Get on up, on the floor
'Cause were gonna boogie oogie oogie
'Till you just can’t boogie no more
Ah boogie, boogie no more
You can’t boogie no more
Ah boogie, boogie no more
Listen to the music
I wanna jump, but I’m afraid I’ll fall
I wanna holler, but the joint’s too small
Young man rhythm’s got a hold of me, too
I got the rockin’ pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu
The roof is rockin’
The neighbors knockin’
We’re all bums when the wagon comes
I mean, this joint is jumpin’
I smoke two joints in the morning
I smoke two joints at night
I smoke two joints in the afternoon
It makes me feel alright
I smoke two joints in time of peace
And two in time of war
I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints
And then I smoke two more
One toke over the line sweet Jesus
One toke over the line
Sittin’ downtown in a railway station
One toke over the line
Straight people don’t know what you’re about
They put you down and shut you out
You gave to me a new belief
And soon the world will love you sweet leaf
They bring you, they take you
They own you, they make you
Last year today you turn and you say
Here’s a dream for me (but it’s a memory)
You close your eyes, and the moon starts to rise
And you scream for me (do you remember me?)
I calm you, I’m with you
What did they ever give you?
And I’ve been wrong
I’ve been down
Into the bottom of every bottle
These five words in my head
Scream
Are we having fun yet?
If you wanna scream, yeah
Let me know and I’ll take you there
Get you going like
Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby
If you wanna turn right
Hope you’re ready to go all night
Get you going like
Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby baby
Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby
If you wanna scream
Scream until ya like it
Never gonna stop
Scream until ya like it
Get ready to rock
Scream until ya like it
Never gonna stop
Stop pressurin’ me
Just stop pressurin’ me
Stop pressurin’ me
Make me wanna scream
