Walk on the Wild Side - Brook Benton

Sinner hear what I'm saying
Sinner you've been swinging not praying
One night of praying six nights of fun
The odds against going to heaven six to one
You walk on the wild side
Away from the promised land

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing

Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
I love you

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing

All right, Wild child full of grace
Savior of the human race, Your cool face
Natural child, terrible child
Not your mother's or your father's child
Your our child, screamin' wild
An ancient rulage of grains, And the trees of the night
Ha, ha, ha, ha
With hunger at her heels, Freedom in her eyes
She dances on her knees, Pirate prince at her side
Stirrin' into a hollow idols eyes
Wild child full of grace, Savior of the human race
Your cool face, Your cool face, Your cool face
Do you remember when we were in Africa?

Oh freedom
Oh freedom
Oh freedom over me
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free

No more moaning
No more moaning
No more moaning over me
And before I'd be a slave
I'd be buried in my grave
And go home to my Lord and be free

They say ev'rything can be replaced,
Yet ev'ry distance is not near.
So I remember ev'ry face
Of ev'ry man who put me here.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

They say ev'ry man needs protection,
They say ev'ry man must fall.
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd,
Is a man who swears he's not to blame.
All day long I hear him shout so loud,
Crying out that he was framed.
I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east.
Any day now, any day now,
I shall be released.

I see it all before me:
the days of love and torment;
the nights of rock-and-roll.
I see it all before me.
Sometimes my spirit's empty;
don't have the will to go on.
I wish someone would send me
energy.

Give me something.
Give me something to give.
Oh, God, give me something:
a reason to live.
My body is aching.
Don't want sympathy.
Come on. Come and love me.
Come on. Set me free.
Set me free.

Kill kill kill for peace
Near or far or very middle east
Kill kill kill for peace
Kill kill it'll give you a big release

You're the reason I'm living
Wo you carry me through
All of life's little burdens
I'd be lost without you
A long long time ago
When I was down
Wo you picked me up and showed me
True love still could be found
You're the reason I do things
You're the things that I do
I'd be lost without you

A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they'd be happy for a while
But February made me shiver
With every paper I'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride
But something touched me deep inside
**The day the music died**
So...

(Chorus)
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin' this'll be the day that I die
This'll be the day that I die

Did you write the book of love
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Now do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you're in love with him
'cause I saw you dancin' in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
I was a lonely teenage broncin' buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin'

When trouble's on my mind i like to reminisce
It was a simpler time, on just a night like this
We were so new to love we'd educate a guess
I taught you all i knew and you filled in the rest

*and i said ooh
Those were heavy nights
We were revin up, those chevy nights with you
(it's true)
And i said ooh, near the levy site

It was me and you and chevy
Those heavy nights with you

September nights were cool but though the streets were hot
Perhaps the memories add mystery to the plot

But deep within my soul, i'm glad the times have changed
As long as rock and roll and the chevys stay the same

When my Chevy Breaks
When the Levy breaks parody by Chris Pollman

It just keeps on lurching
Chevy's gonna break
It just keeps on coughing
Chevy's gonna break
And when my Chevy breaks
I'll have no car to drive

My old Chevy, rusting dry,
It's just peeling chrome and chrome
My old Chevy it's just peeling chrome
It's got what it takes
To get a mountain man to his home
Oh well ah, well-a, oh, well-a, ooh ooh

Well don't it make ya feel sad?
When it breaks down on your long way home
And the gas is in an overflow
if your driving down south
And the doors all fall off
The ya drive north to Amaco
Ah, yeah, yeah, hey

Tryin' won't fix it
Prayin' won't do no good
No, trying won't fix it
And prayin' won't do you no good
And when my Chevy breaks
hah-ha, I get the blues
Uh whoo whoo

I can't fix it right
Sat on my Chevy and moaned
I can't fix it right
Sat on my Chevy and moaned
Fixing up my baby
And it's plated chrome

Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah,
ah-ah-ah, ha
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah,
ah-ah-ah, ha
Honk, honk....
Going, I was going to Amaco
Going to Amaco
Breaking down, breaking down
Now, breaking down, breaking down, now

Breakin' breaking down,
breaking down, breaking down yeah
Drivin' 'round, drivin' round, drivin' 'round'
Round, breaking down now
Breakin' down, breaking down, now, breakin' down
Breaking down, down, down, down, down
Ooh-woo-woo, ooh-woo-woo

I recall how it used to be
In my younger days
I built a wall all around my heart
To keep the pain away
I built it tall and i built it wide
I left no room for doubt
Your love still found its way inside
And couldn't get back out

I'm breaking down the barriers
Making up my mind
I'm breaking down the barriers of time

I'm taking down the barriers
And loving what i find
I'm breaking down the barriers that lie
Between your love and mine

I guess you know you were not the first
You may not be the last
But you have shown me a better way
And now i'm learning fast
You gotta go where the feeling flows
I take it while it's hot
You gotta give if you wanna get
And i want all you got

When she said don't waste your words they're just lies I cried she was deaf
It was then that I got up to leave but she said don't forget
Everybody must give something back for something they get
I stood there and hummed
I tapped on her drum
And I aked her how come
She buttoned her boot and straightened her suit
And she said don't get cute
So I forked my hand in my pocket and felt with my thumb
And gallantly I handed her my very last piece of gum
She threw me outside I stood in the dirt where everyone walked
And after finding out I forgot my shirt I went back and knocked
She went to get it I waited in the hallway and tried to make sense
Out of the picture of you in your wheelchair and leaned up against
Her Jamaican rum
And when she did come
I asked her for some
She said no dear
I said your words aren't clear you better spit out your gum
She screamed then her face grew so red and she fell on the floor
So I covered her up and then thought I'll go look through her drawer
And when I was through
I filled up my shoe
And brought it to you
You took me in
You loved me then and you never wasted time
And I never took much
Never asked for your crutch now don't ask for mine

Well, I see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Yes, I see you got your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat
Well, you must tell me, baby
How your head feels under somethin' like that
Under your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

Well, you look so pretty in it
Honey, can I jump on it sometime?
Yes, I just wanna see
If it's really that expensive kind
You know it balances on your head
Just like a mattress balances
On a bottle of wine
Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

Well, if you wanna see the sun rise
Honey, I know where
We'll go out and see it sometime
We'll both just sit there and stare
Me with my belt
Wrapped around my head
And you just sittin' there
In your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

Well, I asked the doctor if I could see you
It's bad for your health, he said
Yes, I disobeyed his orders
I came to see you
But I found him there instead
You know, I don't mind him cheatin' on me
But I sure wish he'd take that off his head
Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

Well, I see you got a new boyfriend
You know, I never seen him before
Well, I saw him
Makin' love to you
You forgot to close the garage door
You might think he loves you for your money
But I know what he really loves you for
It's your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you got something I need

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out you see
I been looking around awhile
You got something for me
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car
Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
I been all around the world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out you see
I been looking around awhile
You got something for me
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

I asked your mother if you were at home
She said, yes .. but you weren't alone
Oh, sometimes I think that you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you've got something I need

Well, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out to see
La la la la la la la la, la la la la la la
Oh! I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key

Say, say, oh playmate,
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three
Climb up my apple tree

Shout down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forever more more more more more

Say, say, oh playmate
I cannot play with you
My dolly's got the flu
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo

Ain't got no rain barrel
Ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends
Forever more more more more more

Ahem, ahem
I can't come out to play with you
I can't come out at all
It's not because you're dirty
It's not because you're clean
It's 'cause your folks are Protestants
And you eat margarine


Traditional catholic childrens' street song from Northern Ireland

Old man sailin' in a dinghy boat
Down there
Old man down is baitin' a hook
On there
Gonna pull man down on a suckling hook
Gonna pull man into the suckling brook
Oh yeah!

Now, he's underneath that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!
Under that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!
That's underneath that tree
There's gonna be just you and me
Underneath that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!

I push him back and i stand in line
Oh yeah!
Then i hush my sadie and stand in line
Oh yeah!
Then i hush my sadie and stand in line

I get on board in two-eyed time
Oh yeah!

Under that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!
Under that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!
Underneath that tree
There's just gonna be you and me
Underneath that apple suckling tree
Oh yeah!

Now, who's on the table. who's to tell me?
Oh yeah!
Who's on the table, who's to tell me?
Oh yeah!
Who should i tell, oh, who should i tell?
The forty-nine of you like bats out of hell
Oh underneath that old apple suckling tree

In the shade of the old apple tree,
Where the love in your eyes I could see,
When the voice that I heard,
Like the song of the bird,
Seem'd to whisper sweet music to me;

I could hear the dull buzz of the bee,
In the blossoms as you said to me,
With a heart that is true,
I'll be waiting for you,
In the shade of the old apple tree.

Up a lazy river by the old mill stream
Lazy river in the noon day sun
Linger a while in the shade of a tree
Throw away your troubles dream with me

Up a lazy river where a robin's song
Wakes the morning we'll roll along
Make me blue skies up above
Everone's in love
Up a lazy river how happy we'll be
Up a lazy river with me
