Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
Some day I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why can't I?
This is the Bye Bye Blackbird Twist
Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye
Bye bye blackbird
Bye bye blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh, oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, Blackbird , Blackbird bye bye
Goodbye, blackbird
I'm gonna miss ya
I'm gonna miss ya, Blackbird
Ya hear dat?
I'm gonna follow you soon
Wherever you go, why I'll follow you
There's someone waiting out there for me, where you're leading
I can see you flappin' your wings now
You're calling me
I hear you calling me
I hear ya! I hear ya!
I'm coming! I'm coming!
I'm almost here
She's there waiting for me
Oh, how wonderful she looks
Oh how marvelous, blackbird
Here! Here!
Flap your wings, flap 'em! Flap 'em! Whistle to me!
Chicken Dance '95
(Thomas-Rendall)
Orange feet in soil
Scratching and pecking for grit
Chickens in the sun.
Chickee!
And now the purple dust of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
Now the little stars, the little stars pine
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a love that cannot die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
That melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
Ah, but that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
Where stars are bright
You are in my arms
That nightingale tells its fairy tale
of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
my stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
Ah, but that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song
Beside a garden wall
Where stars are bright
You are in my arms
That nightingale tells its fairy tale
of paradise where roses grew
Though I dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
my stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.
Quack quack quack
Donald Duck
He's my little pal ...
Part chicken, turkey, duck and goose
Churkendoose
Is the hipopottomi
Any prettier than I?
It all depends
On how you look at things
Mary Poppins:
Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes
In her own special way to the people she call,
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs
Come feed the little birds,
Show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do
Their young ones are hungry
Their nests are so bare
All it takes is tuppence from you
Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Feed the birds," that's what she cries
While overhead, her birds fill the skies
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it,
You know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares
Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"
Though her words are simple and few
Listen, listen, she's calling to you
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag"
I am your plumber
No I never went away
I still bug your bedrooms
And pick up everything you say
It can be a boring job
To moniter all day your excess talk
I hear when you're drinking
And cheating on your lonely wife
I play tape recordings
Of you to my friends at night
We've got our girl in bed with you
You're on candid camera
We just un-elected you
I am the owl
I seek out the foul
Wipe 'em away
Keep America free
For clean livin' folks like me
If you demonstrate
Against somebody we like
I'll slip on my wig
And see if I can start a riot
Transform you to an angry mob
All your leaders go to jail for my job
But we ain't the Russians
Political trials are taboo
We've got our secret
Ways of getting rid of you
Fill you full of LSD
Turn you loose on a freeway
Send you spinning
Send you spinning
Send you spinning all over the freeway
Spinning on the crowded freeway
Spinning on the freeway
Spinning on the freeway
Spin
Spin
Spin-Lookout
The press, they never even cared
Why a youth leader walked into a speeding car
In ten years we'll leak the truth
By then it's only so much papaer
Watergate hurt
But nothing really ever changed
A teeny bit quiter
But we still play our little games
We still play our little games
We still play our little games
We still play our little games
We still play a lot of games
I am the owl
What time is it!!!
This is one of those, A1-Yola raps.. Stick in ya mind, stick in
ya mind,
stick in ya mind...
When you up all nite
You see things you shouldn't have saw
Cuz the nite gets raw
Drama is thicker than Skippys peanut butter
Imagine worried thoughts of a young man's mother
Feelin's empty, Love don't live here anymore
Awake like an owl at a quarter to four
Don't blink, A Caddy just ran a red light
Bumpin' thug life
And I blend(?) with the nite
They call me greedy
...(?) to get a gurl a beaty
It's Andre Nickatina
I'm like a genie in a beanie
Amarato 88 Cadillac, all black
Copy cats try to match
But they style ain't exactly the same
Somebody said 'Freeze it's a raid'
You know cops are comin' when a brotha smells
Glazed doughnuts
Hold up
I'ma fill it to the rim
Me and money go together like a feather in a brim
I'm a magician
...(?) but I ain't trippin'
A gurl be yellin...(?) I don't listen
Crooked crow
Playas seem to like my style
Why's that killa whale?
[Chorus]
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
(What are ya baby?)
I'm a Raider
Camouflaged in silver and the black
Tryin' to blitz through the line for a quarter back sack
Of the money
I dress like it's cold, Not sunny
But slyer than an urgent fox tryin' to catch a bunny
In the snow
I'm try'na get paid like a ho
Or better yet the pimp that's rakin' in her dough
Like a baker
But check it, who's the king of the caine?
And what's that tiga's name with the Macintosh computer brain
mind
Or should I say mine
Sometimes I gotta lie to protect my crime
I call my lawyer!
Bail bonds keep me on the streets
Three in the mornin' I'm at the club with the freaks
But I got hawk eye
Meanin' that the joint is bein' watched
Drinkin' with the killas that be pushin' up the cost
For the drought season
...(?) season
...(?) up they best
But those be the ones that don't have to rest
Like an owl...
Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I set a trap
I have to spin a web like a spider
Don't strike matches, hate child proof lighters
Stay awake
Quick(?) as I pick up the pace
First I see a gurl's butt, then I look at her face
I can't explain
I'm eatin' garlic bread with the steak
... (????) ....
Brothas droppin' cream by the fiends when they part
I'm like a sentinel
Known to be the principal original
Lookin' for the road that made it...(?)
Call it federal, I'm a general
But yet at times I blaze with my lieutenant
Popeye, no more blunts(?), who got the spinach
...(?) choke, feelin' no remorse for the roach
Choppin' up freaks as ya lounge with your folks
Playin' dice, you take a chance at the crap(?) game
It's all about the money baby, it's the rap game
And I'm an owl...
Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo!
I stay awake like an owl, Hoo, Hoo!
Uh... And I'm out
Uh, ****
It's a planned emergency, (It's a planned emergency)
It's a planned emergency, (It's a planned emergency)
What, STOP!
well some folks already got blackbird and norwegian wood by the beatles, but you missed this one
And Your Bird Can Sing
Lennon/McCartney
You tell that you've ev'rything you want,
And your bird can sing,
But you don't get me,
You don't get me.
You say you've seen seven wonders,
And your bird is green,
But you can't see me,
You can't see me.
When your prized possessions start to wear you down,
Look in my direction
I'll be round, I'll be round.
When your bird is broken
Will it bring you down?
You may be awoken
I'll be round, I'll be round.
Tell me that you've heard ev'ry sound there is,
And your bird can swing,
But you can't hear me,
You can't hear me.
Psst - Got it on page 10.
Has anyone mentioned 'Lark's Tounge in Aspic' by King Crimson?
I had to read the entire thread over before posting Over the Rainbow. Couldn't believe it was not among the first mentioned.
Blackbird On The Wire
The Beautiful South
(Heaton/Rotheray)
Eyes to take you dancing
mouth to leave your wife
Legs to run away with
and you wonder why?
Heart that makes you bypass
every other girl
Smile that keeps you grinning
at the madness of this world
But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take the prey on you
You wouldn't want me to
For I am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below
Front to make you happy
back to make you weep
Lips to keep you kissing
whilst everyone's asleep
Tears to break a backbone
laughs to win a war
And people come and ask me
what I love you for
But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take the prey on you
You wouldn't want me to
For I am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below
And with a tongue built from quicksilver
and a character of steel
They actually come and ask me
How I feel
But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take the prey on you
You wouldn't want me to
For I am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below
VERSE 1
Mother said, "My darling, if you're going to New York,
I must tell you of the mysteries of life.
In towns like that, a little friendly visit from the stork
Is rather awkward if you're not a wife!
Although he's not invited,
He'll always be delighted
To fly in at a weekend.
Where will that fellow's cheek end? "
But I replied, "I know just what to do, dear,
while I roam-
I'll simply tell the stork I'm not at home."
REFRAIN 1
How did I come to know
Which way the wind would blow?
A little birdie told me so!
A little word called "yes"
Can make an awful mess.
The answer to "Giddap" is "Whoa".
Don't pity mother Eve, her weakness was detestable
And soon she learned forbidden fruit was indigestible!
But how did I find out
What it was all about?
A little birdie told me so!
VERSE 2
When a handsome stranger says, I think we've met before,
There's more than conversation on his mind.
When he says, "Our souls should meet," just show him to the door! .
For the meeting that he means is not refined!
He'll say his love is mental,
And very transcendental.
His talk will soon get boorish,
And very ostermoorish.
He will use poetic words that no one understands,
And illustrate the meaning with his hands.
REFRAIN 2
How did I come to know
Which way the wind would blow?
A little birdie told me so!
So look before you leap-
The narrow path is steep.
One little push and down you go!
Of very pure young girls I wouldn't say there's none that's left-
The well-known statue called Miss Liberty's the one that' s left!
But purest driven snow
Will sometimes drift, you know.
A little birdie told me so!
Like the north wind whistlin' down the sky
I've got a song, I've got a song
Like the whippoorwill and the baby's cry
I've got a song, I've got a song
And I carry it with me and I sing it loud
If it gets me nowhere, I'll go there proud
Movin' me down the highway
Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by
I don't want a bunny or a kitty
I don't want a parrot that talks
I don't want a bowl of little fishies
He can't take a goldfish for a walk
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie's for sale
I do hope that doggie's for sale
