[No lyrics]

George-Van Dyke Parks-Kibbee

Rose-oh-ose-ah-rita
I laid on your beach
Dreaming and drinking Tequila
I came all the way from Marina Del Rey
On a plane yesterday
Through the gray L A air
(Chorus)
Cheek to cheek to cheek ... Chiquita ita
Yo soy amoroso
What could be wrong with the hombre who sings solo?
Barama ree (spanish anyone?)
Giddily for ya (?)
(whistling)
Rosa-
Rita
Forget that border check please
You won't have to sneak
Two or three times a week
And your green card, la ma tarjeta verde, may never be strong
Because you've got my heart on permanent loan
Cheek to cheek to cheek ... Chiquita ita do do dah
Yo soy amoroso
What could be wrong with the hombre who sings solo?
Barama ree (?)
Carady for yee (?)
Ayayayaya

Nilsson-Van Dyke Parks-Hazlewood

You've just made the best move that you've ever made.

Don't forget the Wesson oil and mayonnaise
Just in case I love you
This is the end

There goes my main (?)
This could be the best fade that you ever played
Ever played

Say it
Would you mind undressing while I serenade?

Nilsson-Lennon

Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
But it's better than a mudslide momma when the dry spell comes
Oh oh oh old dirt road
Aint no difference on the old dirt road
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
It's like trying to shovel smoke with a pitchfork in the wind
Breezin through the dead wood on a hot summer day
I saw a human being lazybonin' out in the hay
I said uh, hey Mister Human can ya rainmaker too?
He said I guess it's OK, Ya know the only thing we need is water
Cool clear water!
Ain't no people on the old dirt road
No more weather on the old dirt road
But it's better than a mudslide momma when the morning comes
Oh oh oh old dirt road
Aint no difference on the old dirt road
Tarred and feathered on the old dirt road
Sail away

Christian

I don't need you
I don't need freindship
I don't need peace and harmony
I don't need you
And I know you don't need me

I don't need love or affection
I don't need flowers in the spring
I don't need you
And you surely don't need me

But we both want it bad enough
Yes we both want it don't we
But I don't need you baby
And I know you don't need me
I don't need your loving arms around me
All I needs is to be free
That's what I keep telling myself
And I tell you, you don't need me
I don't need children in my old age
Like cluttered leaves around the tree
I don't need you
And I know you don't need me
But we both want it bad enough
Yes we both want it don't we
But I don't need you baby
And I know you don't need me
We don't need each other baby
We don't need each other baby
Or do we?

Nilsson

The sun comes up
The sun goes down
The sun goes round and round and round
The moon comes out
Behind the clouds
The clouds give in
And suddenly there's rain
Not enough to hurt the grain
Just enough to ease the pain
All I need is a bit of rain
Shooo-oo-ooo-oo-ooes
Help me walk away these blues
All I have are me and you
And the promise of more rain
And the promise of more rain
Rain yeah.
Come and call me by my name
Making everything the same
All I need is a bit of rain
The sun comes up
And suddenly there's rain
Take away my pain
Come on take away my pain
All I need is a bit of rain
Shooo-oo-ooo-oo-ooes
Help me walk away these blues
All I have are me and you
And the promise of more rain
And the promise of more rain
The sun shines right through the rain
While the wet folks fall on the floor
And the sun shines bright through the window
I don't need no sun any more
Rain rain rain
Come and call me by my name
You make everything the same
All I need is a bit of rain
Shooo-oo-ooo-oo-ooes
Help me walk away these blues
All I have are me and you
And the promise of more rain
And the promise of more rain
Rain yeah
Rain yeah
Come and call me by my name
Making everything the same
All I need is a bit of rain
All I need is a bit of rain

Nilsson-Botkin

(Spoken: harry) say.. Fox? Where you walking?
(Spoken: fox) what you mean? You want do some business?
(Spoken: harry) uh- huh
(Spoken: fox) well lets check it out
All right!
I've got it
Got it!
Right down here in your hole in my pocket
I've got it!
Got it!
It's down to the green in your wallet
It's mine to give and I'll give it away
And you can't just pay enough
For the time it takes to make me yours
It's mine to give
It certainly isn't yours

I've got it !
Got it!
It's right down here
And it's just where you want it.
I've got it!
Got it!
Keeping it under a key and locket.
It's mine to give to whomever I choose
And no one can lose
And you just can't pay enough
For this wonderful stuff I use
Can't cover my dues
First you spread your two knees open wide
Think of England, left come inside
I've got it
Got it!
I can tell by the bulge in your pocket
You've got it!
Got it!
Keeping it under a key and locket.
I can't afford what you want to pay
But I am here to say it's a lovely day.
Yes I am here to say it's a lovely day
But I don't love you
Now let's get straight to the point
Got no time to mess around with you
Listen! You know the routine
Put it in the nightstand
Four hundred
Oooooooo oooo o o oo o o o o
Well alright then
Got change for a twenty
You know I've got it
I got it!
It's down here in your hole in my pocket
Now it's down to the green in your wallet
It's mine to give
And to give it away
But you just can't pay enough for me
Because You know what I've got
I mean I think you know
I mean if I like you that's one thing
But this ain't gonna be no freebee
I don't want you to get all happy inside
And not pay for this ride
Do you know what I mean?
Say would you like to here Tenderly
Well that's different Now
Hey, I like the color of your stuff
Now that these business transactions are over
We can begin
Well my goodness!
Will you take a look at that
Woooooo
All shiny and purple and everything
It's getting larger by the minute
Hey you know something
On second thought
I think I would greatly appreciate it
If you put that thing away
Or put it someplace else
What if I gave you five dollars just to leave this room
(fading out)
I mean ah..
Hey! Listen! I am not just kidding around
I've got some friends downstairs and they got it.
You know what I mean?
Pretty soon there will be a knock on the door
And nah nah nah nah nah and you know you'll be in for something
Hey! Now don't get to friendly. Hey! No! Wait!

Nilsson-Stallworth

What could you do if I had you?
What would I want to do without you?
What good is being without you?
Why should I run around after you?
You're so good,
You're so good,
You're so good,
You're so easy
How do you feel when you see me
What do you see when you see through me?
It's so good to be inside you
Can't stop myself from messing with you
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so easy
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so easy

What do you see when you see me
Do you see you when you see through me?
What do you feel when your near me
Is that the truth can you hear me
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so easy
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so easy

Cheer up Brian
Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
And other things they make you swear and curse
Life is full of grizzle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And things will never turn out for the worse
Always look on thebright side of life
Alws...
Thelight side of life
If life sem rotnne
