You're everywhere and nowhere, baby,
thats where you're at,
Going down a bumpy hillside,
In your hippy hat.
Flying across the country
And getting fat
Saying everything is groovy
When your tyres are flat

(Chorus)
And its hi - ho silver lining
and away you go now baby
I see your sun is shining
But I won't make a fuss
Though it's obvious.

Flies are in your pea soup baby,
They're waving at me
Anything you want is yours now
Only nothing's for free.
Lies are gonna get you some day
Just wait and see.
So open up your beach umbrella
While you're watching TV

Chorus

Instrumental.

Chorus to fade.

Greensleeves

You know you shook me, you shook me all night long
You know you shook me, you shook me all night long
You shook me so hard, baby, baby, baby, please come home
I have a bird that whistles and I have birds that sing
I have a bird that whistles and I have birds that sing
I have a baby, won't do nothing, buy a diamond ring

You know you shook me, you shook me all night long
I know you really, really did babe
I said, you shook me, baby, you shook me all night long
You shook me so hard, baby, you shook me all night long

To our house on a friday
A man calls every week
We give him a pound
When he calls on his round

To our house on a friday
A man calls every week
We give and we get
And we're always in debt

With his plan he carries all we're needing
With his plan most anything is ours
He's the Tallyman
Oh yeah
He's the Tallyman

(guitar break)

Shoes and socks hard wearing for the children
Village frocks all in the latest style
From the Tallyman
Oh yeah
From the Tallyman

To our house on a friday
A man calls every week
We've made him a friend
So he's here to the end

From cradle to grave
We respect him to say
Here's tick to the end
So we've made him a friend
Here's tick to the end
So we've made him a friend

. . .


Listen, you can rock me, rock me all night long
Keep on rockin' me baby, rock me all night long
'Cause you know what when you rock me
My poor back, it ain't got a bone
You can roll me
Just like they roll the wagon wheel, way down in the country
Keep on rollin' me baby, roll me all night long
You know you can shake, rattle and roll me
'Til my back it ain't got a bone and I won't mind that

Over here, keep on rollin' me baby
Just roll me all night long, I won't mind it
Keep on rollin' me baby, roll me all night long
'Cause you know what when you shake, rattle and roll me
My ol' back it ain't got a bone, so will you do it

Keep on rollin' me baby, rollin' me babe
Any old way you choose it
Keep on rollin' me, keep rollin' me honey
Till my ol' back ain't got a bone, over then

Rockin' me baby, rockin' me baby
Rock me honey, rockin' me baby
I don't mind which way that you, come on honey, keep on

Rockin' me baby, rockin' me baby
Keep on rockin' me baby
You know you better keep on rockin' me all night long
You can rock me baby, yeah yeah

The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was a purple gang

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Number 47 said to number 3
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock

Sad Sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair"

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake
No one's lookin', now's the chance to make a break"
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks"

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Shapes of things before my eyes,
Just help me to despise.
Will time make men more wise?

Here, within my lonely frame,
My eyes just hurt my brain.
Will time make men more sane?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, maybe a soldier, (Now listen)
Come tomorrow, maybe I'm older than today.

(Listen to this)
Here within my lonely frame,
My eyes just hurt my goddarn brain.
Will time make men more sane?

. . .


Well I bless my soul
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm mmmmm,yay yay, yeah!

Well my hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm, mmmm ,yay, yay, yeah!

Well please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin' fine
When I'm near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so that it scares me to death!

She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm , mmmmm, yay, yay , yeah!

Well my tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shaken like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine!

She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano that's hot
I'm proud to say that she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up

. . .


Ain't superstitious
Black cat crossed my trail
I ain't superstitious
But a black cat crossed my trail
Bad luck ain't got me so far
And I won't let it stop me now
The dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood and that ain't all
Dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood

This is a mean old world to live in
And I can't face it all by myself, at all

And, dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood
The dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood

I got a feelin' about the future
And it ain't too good, I know that

I know, I know, I know, I

Ain't superstitious
But a black cat crossed my trail
I said it so many times before

Ain't superstitious
A black cat crossed my trail
Bad luck ain't got me so far
And you know I ain't gonna let it stop me now

. . .


I've woken up on mornings such as this
And thought exactly the same as I'm thinking now
Every night for a year I've slept alone
My cold damp room looks worse than me
I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
I know I won't die soon but then again I might
Just like water down the drain I'm wasting away
And oh, doctors can't help, a ghost of a man, that's me

I'm going far

And oh, water down the drain flows to the sea
The pattern of my life keeps on hauntin' me
Like moisture from the ocean fills the sky
Comes on down to the ground as time goes by

Please don't weep for me when I'm gone

I got a fear of death that creeps on every night
And I know I won't die soon but then again I might

Please don't weep for me when I'm gone

A fear of death that creeps on every night

. . .

Love Is Blue

[No lyrics]

Walk me out in the morning dew, my honey
Please walk me out in the morning dew, sometime
Can't walk you out in no morning dew, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Can't walk you out in no morning dew
Thought I heard a young man cryin'
Thought I heard a young man cryin' today
You didn't hear no young man cryin'
You did not hear no young man cryin'

Thought I heard a young girl cryin'
Thought I heard a young girl cryin'
You, you did not hear no young girl cryin'
I'm sorry, but you know you didn't
You did not hear no young man cryin'

Now there is no more morning dew
Now there is no more morning dew
What they've been sayin'
All these god-darn' years has come true
I knew it would too

Now there's no more morning dew
Now there is no more morning dew, at all, oh
Now there is no more morning dew
Because, because, because what they've been sayin'
All these years has come true
That you know, and only you know
That, there's no more morning dew

Now, now there is no more morning dew
People, you know that there's no more morning dew
Because, because, what they've been sayin'
All these years has come true
It had to happen, you know
That, there's no more morning dew
