COCONUT TREE
All day long, I sit and I sing beneath this coconut tree ,
All the fishes they swim and play and laugh at me
I wanna go for a swim
the fishes want me to come on in
But I can't find my way home
I sit all day singing melodies to the sand
The snails play along with a sea shell band,
The snails say come and play
we do the creep and slide all day
And I can't find my way home
The sun keeps me warm inside and the sea keeps me clean
The sand burns my feet and the coconuts keep me lean
I love my little foreign isle
I face my troubles with a smile
and I can't find my way home

SUMMER
Cranking up my woody and going for a ride
just to get back to the ocean side
Seems like forever has it been that long
I thought we'd never get to sing this song again
Squeeze into the wetsuit, waxing my board
Cranking up my woody she's a V-8 Ford
Sand thru my toes and the sun in my face
takes me back forever to a better place again
Every wave we see
takes us back to where we'd like to be (if we only could)
That's what I like best about SUMMER,
That's what I like best about SUMMER
Back in school I'll see you again, we'll sit back remembering
we'd cruise the shore in a foreign shine
takes me back to a place in time
That's what I like best about SUMMER,
That's what I like best about SUMMER
MY SWEET MARIE
She was only half my age when I was fourty three
she said I'll show you pleasures that will bring you to your knees
She threw me down upon my back and tied my hands and feet
and showed to me I swear to you
a pain that was so sweet
When I awoke I looked around and even thought she'd gone
she left me with a feeling that for hours lingered on
I stumbled out to daylight and I wandered down the lane
and I swore that if I found her that we'd do it all again
MY SWEET MARIE, Sweet Pleasure Queen,
Strange as it seems, girl of my Dreams
I searched the fields and mountains, the streets and avenues
I look for her so desperately, desire I couldn't loose
I'd never known such pleasure, never been so free
she'd lit the fire in my heart and made my soul serene
I found her on the Boulevard and begged her "Come with me"
she said, "Lover if you cross my palms, I"ll swim the deepest sea"
So I showered her with silver and I showered her with gold
now we live together and my nights are never cold
MY SWEET MARIE, Sweet pleasure Queen,
Strange as it seems, girl of my Dreams
SOUTH STREET
Have you seen the show down on SOUTH STREET
the Dude's got Rhythm,
They love to sing they love to dance
they like to Hoochie Kooooo
Step your shoes and shine your blues to SOUTH STREET
we gotta go with them
An sing and dance and Glisten in the Moonlight
I'll be dancing with them
Listen to that Rhythm
Singing songs that do belong to Me
Singing SOUTH STREET rhythm, Dixie Melody
Drop your cares and say goodby to your tears
you really don't need them
Step aboard an step inside to the show
Always looked but never found your free ride
never did happen
Come on along we'll drop you off at who you wanna be
Singing SOUTH STREET rhythm, Dixie Melody
SOUTH STREET rhythm, Dixie Melody
MORNING WALKER
She takes her MORNING WALKER
she rides the bus every day
And in her head she's worried
is that all that she can say
An in her life there is no one
to come home too each day
an in her head she worries
is there no one who could say
cause the one she's always followed
doesn't seem to realize
the one she's always followed
doesn't seem to realize
the one she's always followed
doesn't seem to realize what's new
is that really all that she can do ?
Is that really all that she can do ?
LONG GONE
Took the money, Cadillac, Never come never coming back,
Took the money on loan, Don Juan on the telephone
now I'm gone, and I swear, I'm LONG GONE
Bought a knife cut a throat took the money bought a boat
Sailed to sea boat went down,
all the fishes swimming round and round,
Guess I'm gone, baby I'm LONG GONE
Almost drowned washed ashore, ain't got no money anymore
Stole a car, Pink Cadillac never come never coming back,
cause I'm gone, baby I'm long gone
Leaning back, changing lanes, but tonight I'm young again,
Wonder what I'm to do, long gone Boogaloo
cause I'm gone, and I swear I'm long gone
Bought a gun fired a shot
here come the sheriff and the possie out,
what's the worse than can happen to me
with five passports and three I.D.'s
Somebody's following me, but I'm gone, long gone
Took the money, Cadillac, Never come never coming back,
Took the money on loan, Don Juan on the telephone
now I'm gone, and I swear, I'm LONG GONE
Bought a knife cut a throat took the money bought a boat
Sailed to sea boat went down,
all the fishes swimming round and round,
Guess I'm gone, baby I'm LONG GONE
Almost drowned washed ashore, ain't got no money anymore
Stole a car, Pink Cadillac never come never coming back,
cause I'm gone, baby I'm long gone
Leaning back, changing lanes, but tonight I'm young again,
Wonder what I'm to do, long gone Boogaloo
cause I'm gone, and I swear I'm long gone
Bought a gun fired a shot
here come the sheriff and the possie out,
what's the worse than can happen to me
with five passports and three I.D.'s
Somebody's following me, but I'm gone, long gone
HEARTBEAT
I can dance in circles and I can swim in rain
Ha! I can do most anything
I can fly up higher than the birds up in the sky,
and I can feel your HEART BEAT
as you come walking by
Ain't afraid of darkness, fire wind or rain,
I once rode a twister right thru a Hurricane
I like to walk in darkness cause lighting up my way
there's a thunderstorm behind me
and lightning on it's way
I can feel your HEART BEAT
as you go walking by,
I can feel your heartbeat
as you go walking by
I might be a Sinner, I know I ain't no saint,
not much even interests me, until you say I can't
Growed up by the river
swinging in the trees,
and if you try to follow me
just watch out for the breeze
I can hear your HEART BEAT, as you go walking by,
I can feel your HEART BEAT, as you go walking by
Saddled up my shooting star and rode across the sky,
won't be back for seven years, not even if I try
Rode on Haley's Comet to parts I'd never seen,
but I always find my way back
I just listen for your HEARTBEAT
I can feel your HEART BEAT
as you come walking by
I can feel your HEART BEAT
as you go walking by
CANDLE IN THE SKY
Drifted slowly out across the Bay
Thunder an lightning
lighting up my way
Hey
Can you see me, way up high
got my candle burning bright
Got my CANDLE IN THE SKY
I can't feel my footsteps, what's happened to the pain
is that fever on my brow or falling rain
Lighting up the Heavens all fire RED
must have been a dream last nite
running thru my head
Come an see me, way up high
thunder and lightning lighting up the night
lighting my way, thru the night
got my candle, burning bright,
I died last night, at the stroke of ten,
I tried to come back, I couldn't get in
So to you I say, as I drift away
come and see me, way up high
got my CANDLE, burning bright
lighting my way, thru the night,
got my CANDLE IN THE SKY
Got my CANDLE IN THE SKY
Got my CANDLE IN THE SKY
STUCK TO THE RUG
I was cruising down the boulevard
must have been about half past three
The shops were closed, the street was slow
there was no one there but me
Top down, tunes up, running sweet
my headers open wide,
I dropped her down to second gear
for a low slung scary ride
Up ahead the lite was red
I rolled up and stopped to see
seven little leatherettes
as sleezed as they could be
they smiled so sweet such tender meat
said "Hey guess where you are ?
This ain't Heaven could be Hell
tonight you've gone too far"
And they said, "Hey now, let's get down
want sugar long and lean
Hey now, let's get down want sugar long and lean"
Get another bottle, and chew off the plug
everybody loves her when she's STUCK TO THE RUG
STUCK TO THE RUG
EVERYBODY'S STUCK TO THE RUG
STUCK TO THE RUG
EVERYBODY'S STUCK TO THE RUG,
THE LOSER
There is no playlist, it's for real
no double features, no double deals
You're gonna find out how real it gets
with just two players when the first one quits
he's THE LOSER, done lost his game
THE LOSER, back where he started again
No second chances, when you're down it's bad
no where to rest up cause you can't go back
such empty faces, a world of woe
No one beside you when you start to fold
they all look at you and they say.
he's THE LOSER, but to lose
you've got to play the game
Made it with Janey, things was going fine
Until that nite when she dropped the dime
I tried to run, but got took away
Off to the quarry, I got 90 days
They got some rocks that need busted
by THE LOSER
But to lose, you got to play the game
CRANK IT UP
Down on that Muddy Ohio
I"m talking Mason Dixon Line
Hear the roar from the hills of Kentucky
it's Rock n' Roll and it sure feels fine
I go to work every morning
got to hear my Rock n' Roll
and when my D.J. says, "CRANK IT UP"
I CRANK IT UP, on my radio
Don't you know, you'll never leave here
there's no escaping from that sweet southern sound
You never leave the sweet sweet hills of Kentucky
boogie to that Cincinnati Sound
Got to pay close attention
got to hear what my D.J. says,
cause when my D.J. says, "CRANK IT UP"
I CRANK IT UP, on my radio
CRANK IT UP, in the hills of Kentucky
CRANK IT UP, to that sweet sweet sound
When your D.J. says, 'CRANK IT UP'
CRANK IT UP, on your radio
Down on that muddy Ohio
I"m talking Mason/Dixon Line
the sweet sweet hills of Kentucky
make a young boy feel so fine
When you CRANK IT UP on your Radio
BIG LIMO
Wake up in the morning with some blood in my eye
before I start my yawning need some Whiskey n' Rye
Telephone rings, a girl I don't want to hear
I hung up the phone and I ran down the stairs
to my BIG LIMOUSINE
makes the young girls wet
BIG LIMOUSINE
makes em shiver an sweat
BIG LIMOUSINE and the mileage I get
Don't come no closer, that's all you're gonna get
Cruise to El Paso at a hundred and five
Get down dirty at the Shuck N' Jive
Pulled onto the lot ladies left and right
pulled up to the door an everybody's eyes were on my
Sexy lovely ladies all so young an fine
they told the chaufeur
"Won't you give us a ride,
Please take us away, cause we got nothing but time"
an we all road away soaking Whiskey N' Rye
in my BIG LIMOUSINE
just take off your shoes
BIG LIMOUSINE
get away from your blues
BIG LIMOUSINE
you can chase off your blues
don't worry bout nothing you got nothing to lose
VIOLET
I wonder VIOLET, why do you love me
I wonder by the things that you say
but the thing that's got me so confused
is weather I'm being used
VIOLET, what have you done
VIOLET, why do you lie out loud
I can see it every time we're in a crowd
an the thing that makes me realize
what's going on is when I look into your eyes
VIOLET, what have you done
what have you done ?
I wonder VIOLET, why do you love me
I wonder by the things that you say
but the thing that's got me so confused
is weather I'm being used
VIOLET, what have you done
VIOLET, why do you lie out loud
I can see it every time we're in a crowd
an the thing that makes me realize
what's going on is when I look into your eyes
VIOLET, what have you done
what have you done ?
