I had a dream, oh now
Crazy dream, oh-hoh
Anything I wanted to know
Any place I needed to go

Hear my song, yeah
People don't you listen now, sing along, oh
You don't know what you're missing now
Any little song that you know
Everything that's small has to grow
It's all growing, push push, yeah

Na na na na
California sunlight, sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright The song remains the same, oooh, oooh, ohh-hoh
Here we go

Here we go

Are you gonna Are ya, are ya gonna go now Are ya gonna go now Oooh oooh

Sing out Hare Hare, ooh, dance the Hoochie Koo
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding
through
Sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding,
yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee-yi-ee


. . .



It is the springtime of my loving
The second season I am to know-ooh-oh-ooh-oh
You are the sunlight in my growing
So little warmth I felt before
It isn't hard to feel me glowing
I watched the fire that grew so low

It is the summer of my smiles
Flee from me keepers of the gloom
Speak to me only with your eyes
It is to you I give this tune
Ain't so hard to recognize, oh oh oh
These things are clear to all from time to time, ooooh

Oh hoh, oh hoh

Talk talk talk talk
Hey, I've felt the coldness of my winter
I've never thought it would ever go
I've cursed the gloom that set upon us, 'pon us, 'pon us
But I know that I love you so, ohhhhh, whoa
But I know that I love you so, whoa

These are the seasons of emotion
And like the winds they rise and fall
This is the wonder of devotion
I see the torch we all must hold
This is the mystery of the quotient, quotient
Upon us all, upon us a little rain must fall
Just a little rain

. . .



Hey lady, you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough
Oh darlin' darlin', darlin'
Walk a while with me
Oh, you've got so much, so much, so much

Many have I loved
Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed
Along the open road

Many times I've lied
Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered
How much there is to know

Many dreams come true
And some have silver linings
I live for my dreams
And a pocketful of gold

(Guitar Solo)

Mellow is the man
Who knows what he's been missing
Many many men
Can't see the open road

Many is a word
That only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing
You really ought to know, hoh ohh ohh ohh You really ought to know, ohh
I really ought to know, ohhh, you know I should, you know I should, you know I

. . .



I wanna tell you bout my good friend
I ain't disclosing no names but
He sure is a good friend and
I ain't gonna tell you where he comes from, but
If I tell you you wont come again, oh, hey
I ain't gonna tell you nothin', but I do, well, but I know, yeah
Now let me tell you about my girl
I open up a newspaper and what do I see, ahh, ah
Ah ah, see my girl, ah ah, looking at me
Ooh, and when she walks, she walks
And lemme tell ya
When she talks, she talks
And when she looks me in my eye
She's my baby, Lord, I wanna make her mine
Oh, tell me baby what you want me to do
And you want me to love you, love some other man, ooh
They ain't gonna call me Mister Pitiful, no
Aah, I don't need no respect from nobody, no no
Ooh yeah, no no, ah, ah

I ain't gonna tell you nothing I ain't gonna no more, no
She's my baby let me tell you that I love her so and
And, she's the woman I really wanna love
And let me tell you more, oooh oooh
She's my baby lemme tell ya she lives next door
She's the one a woman the one, a woman that I know
I ain't gon', I ain't gon'
I ain't gonna tell, I ain't gonna tell you one thing
That you really ought to know, but
She's my lover baby and I love her so and
She's the one that really makes me whirl and twirl
And she's the kind of lover that makes me fill the whole world and
She's the one who really makes me jump and shout, ohh
She's the kind of girl--I know what it's all about
Take it home, take it, take it, take it

Ah, excuse me
Ah will you excuse me
I'm just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge
Please

Have you seen the bridge

I ain't seen the bridge


. . .



Dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
I got my flower, I got my power
I got a woman who knows

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start

Crazy ways are evident
In the way you're wearing your clothes
Sippin' booze is precedent
As the evening starts to glow

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
You know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only, my one and only
Is that the way it should start, dig

You told your mama I'd get you home
But you didn't say I got no car
I saw a lion, he was standing alone
With a tadpole in a jar

You know it's all right
I said it's all right
I guess it's all in my heart heart heart
You'll be my only
my one and only
Is that the way it should start

So, dancing days are here again
As the summer evenings grow
You are my flower, you are my power
You are my woman who knows

I said it's all right
You know it's all right
I know it's all in my heart
You'll be my only yes, my one and only, yes
Is that the way it should start

Close the door, put out the light
You know they won't be home tonight
The snow falls hard and don't you know
The winds of Thor are blowing cold
They're wearing steel that's bright and true, oooh
They carry news that must get through

They choose the path where no one goes

They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter, ahhhh

(Piano Solo)
(Guitar Solo)

Walking side by side with death
The devil mocks their every step, ooh-ooh-ooh
The snow drives back the foot that's slow
The dogs of doom are howling more
They carry news that must get through, ohh ohh
To build a dream for me and you

They choose the path where noone goes

They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter
They hold no quarter
They ask no quarter

The pain, the pain without quarter
They ask no quarter
Yeah, without quarter, quarter, quarter, yeah
They need no quarter
The dogs of doom are howling more, gimme quarter

. . .



We've done four already
but now we're steady
and then they went
One, two, three, four

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foot's outside the door
I got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball

A-ha
Ah ah, yeah

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free and play for me,I play a whole lot more, more
Singing 'bout good things and the sun that lights the day
And you can sing of the mountains, has the ocean lost it's way, I don't know

Oh oh, yeah
Ooh, yeah

Na na na na na na la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la

Sitting around singing songs 'til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start
Oh yeah

It sure is fine
A-blow my mind
It feels so good, yeah
Yeah yeah
