While riding in my Cadillac, what, to my surprise,
A little Nash Rambler was following me, about one-third my size.
The guy must have wanted it to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn. (Beep! Beep!)
I’ll show him that a Cadillac is not a car to scorn.
All together now, one, two, three
Keep your mind on your driving
Keep your hands on the wheel
Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead
We’re having fun, sitting in the backseat
Kissing and a hugging with Fred
I bet Daphne wasn’t too pleased.
Speed along the highway,
Honey, I want it my way.
But listen to her daddy’s song,
Don’t stay out too long.
Oo, we’re just busy hiding,
Sitting in the back seat of my car.
Now we’ll have fun, fun, fun,
Since her daddy’s taken her T-Bird away
Mama, don’t take my Kodachrome away
Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
But I shot a man in Reno
Just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowin’
I hang my head and cry
Happiness is a warm gun (bang, bang, shoot, shoot)
Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down
I drew a sabre through her
It was a bloody knife
I threw her in the river
Which was a dreadful sign
I saw my baby down by the river, knew she’d have to come up soon for air
As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good old way
And who shall wear the starry crown
Good Lord, show me the way!
I’m gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside.
I’m gonna lay down my burden, down by the riverside,
I’m gonna study war no more.
Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Deep river, my home is over Jordan
Deep river, Lord
I want to cross over into camp ground
Oh, don’t you want to go
To that gospel feast
That promised land
Where all is peace
Everybody’s talkin’ 'bout
Bagism, Shagism, Dragism, Madism, Ragism, Tagism
This-ism, that-ism, ism ism, I don’t know
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
Give me love
Give me love
Give me peace on earth
Give me light
Give me life
Keep me free from birth
There comes a time when most of us return here, brought back by our desire to live
Once upon a time a girl with moonlight in her eyes
Put her hand in mine and said she loved me so
But that was once upon a time, very long ago
I had a love, sweeter than you know
Oh, I lived a life time in a moment
