1. Fun Fun Fun

Well she got her Daddy's car and she cruised to the hamburger
stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library like she told her old man
now
And with the radio blasting goes cruising just as fast as she
can now
And she'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird
away

Well the girls can't stand her 'cos she walks, looks and drives
like an ace
now
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
A lot of guys try to catch her but she leads them on a wild
goose chase
now
And she'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird
away

Well she's making a turn and it looks like she's coming around
now
And I'm a little concerned 'cos the town is closing on down
now
Well I jump in the 'bird for some good-time getting around
now
And we'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird
away
Fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird away

Well you knew all along that your Dad was getting wise to you
now
And since he took your set of keys you've been thinking that
your fun is all
through now
But you can come along with me 'cos we got a lot of things to do
now
And you'll have fun fun fun now that Daddy took the T-bird
away
Fun fun fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away

2. When You Walk In The Room

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I feel the summer's night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room

Baby it's a dream come true
Standing right alongside of you
Wish I could show you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare

I can feel there's something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you
Every time that you
Every time that you walk in the room
Walk in the room
Walk in the room
Walk in the room

3. I Can Hear The Grass Grow

See the people all in line, what's making them look at me?
I can't imagine that their minds are thinking the same like
me
I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

My head's attracted to a magnetic wave of sound
With a stream of coloured circles making their way around
I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

Can't seem to puzzle out the signs
My senses form a micro-line
So get a hold of yourself, now baby
You see I need you to help, now baby
Get a hold of yourself, now baby

Put your head down to the ground and listen to your mind
If you can't spell what you find I'll know that you're not my
kind
I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

Can't seem to puzzle out the signs
My senses form a micro-line
So get a hold of yourself, now baby
You see I need you to help, now baby
Get a hold of yourself, now baby

See the people all in line, what's making them look at me?
I can't imagine that their minds are thinking the same like
me
I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening
I can hear the grass grow, I can hear the grass grow
I see rainbows in the evening

4. You Never Can Tell

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle
And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel
bell
C'est la vie, say the old folk, it goes to show you never can
tell

They furnished off an apartment with two rooms by themselves
The coolerator was crammed with TV dinners and ginger ale
But when Pierre found work the little money coming worked out
well
C'est la vie, say the old folk, it goes to show you never can
tell

They had a hi-fi phono, boy did they let it blast
Seven hundred little records, all rockin' rhythm and jazz
But when the sun went down, the rapid tempo of the music fell
C'est la vie say the old folk, it goes to show you never can
tell

They bought a souped up jittny, was a cherry red fifty three
They drove it down to Orleans to celebrate their anniversary
It was there where Pierre was wedded to the lovely
Mademoiselle
C'est la vie say the old folk, it goes to show you never can
tell

It was a teenage wedding and the old folks wished them well
You could see that Pierre did truly love the Mademoiselle
And now the young Monsieur and Madame have rung the chapel
bell
C'est la vie say the old folk, it goes to show you never can
tell

5. Get Back

Jojo was a man who though he was a loner, but he knew it
couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona for some Californian
grass
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Sweet Loretta Modern though she was a woman, but she was
another
man
All the girls around her said she had it coming, but she gets it
while she
can
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you
once
belonged
Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you
once
belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you
once
belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

6. Safety Dance

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cos your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
Say, we can go wher we want to, places they can never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real world far behind

We can go if we want to, night is young and so was I
And we can dress real neat from our heads to our feet
And surprise them with a victory cry
I said, we can act if we want to, if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
I can act like an imbecile

We can dance, we can dance, everything is under control
We can dance, we can dance, doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance, everybody's taking the chance
The safety dance
Woh, safety dance, yeah, the safety dance

We can dance if we want to, we got all your life to find
As long as we have music, never gonna lose it
Everything will work out right
We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
'Cos your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine

We can dance, we can dance, everything is under control
We can dance, we can dance, doing it from pole to pole
We can dance, we can dance, everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance, everybody's taking the chance
Safety dance
Oh, safety dance, yeah, safety dance
Safety dance, safety dance
Oh, safety dance, safety dance

7. Raining In My Heart

The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining, raining in my heart

The weatherman says clear today
He doesn't know you've gone away
And it's raining, raining in my heart

Oh misery, misery
What's gonna become of me?

I tell my blues they mustn't show
But soon these tears are bound to flow
'Cos it's raining, raining in my heart

Oh misery, misery
What's gonna become of me?

The sun is out, the sky is blue
There's not a cloud to spoil the view
But it's raining, raining in my heart
Raining in my heart
Raining in my heart

9. Sorrow

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you
Was sorrow, sorrow

You're acting funny, spending all my money
You're out there playing your high class games
Sorrow, sorrow

You never do what you know you oughtta
Something tells me you're the Devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
Aaah, aaah

With your long blonde hair
I didn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair

I tried to fight her but I can't resist her
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow, sorrow

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you
Was sorrow, sorrow
Aaah, aaah

With your long blonde hair
I didn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair

10. Proud Mary

Left a good job in the city, working for the man every night and
day
And I never lost a minute of sleeping worrying 'bout the way
things might
have been
Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river

Been a lot of places in Memphis, pumped a lot of pain down in
New
Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city 'til I hitched a ride
on the
riverboat queen
Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river

Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river

Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river

If you come down to the river, bet you're gonna find some people
who live

You don't have to worry if you don't have no money, people on
the river
are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary keep on burning
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river

Big wheel keep on turning, Proud Mary she just keeps on
burning
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin on the river

11. Lucille

Lucille, won't you do your Daddy's will?
Lucille, won't you do your Daddy's will?
Well you ran away and left me
And I Love you still

Lucille, please come back where you belong
Lucille, please come back where you belong
I've been good to you baby
Please don't leave me alone

Well, I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked her friends about her but no, all their lips were
tight

Lucille, baby satisfy my heart

12. Johnny And Mary

Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right if it would buy truth for
him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn when he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere when he has time to
Mary combs her hair
Says he should be used to it

Mary always hedges her bets, she never knows what to think
She says he's still acting like he's being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath trying to talk sense to
her
Mary says he's lacking a real sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says he should be used to it

13. Get Out Of Denver

I still remember, it was autumn and the moon was shining
Our '60 Cadillac was rolling through Nebraska whining
Doing a hundred-twenty, man the fields was bending over
Hauling up for the mountains knowing we was traveling further
All our fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning,
turning
Had my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning,
burning

I walked up back to speak to this southern funky school
teacher
She had a lot of something heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed something that would get us going
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cop came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck

Go! Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver
'Cos you look just like a commie and you might just be a
member
Better get out of Denver, better get out of Denver

Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens they were
screaming
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
Made it to Lovely Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens they were
screaming
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
Made it to Lovely Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber
We kept on driving 'til we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going
We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning
Morning fog had lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're staring at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat

Go! Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver
'Cos you look just like a commie and you might just be a
member
Better get out of Denver, better get out of Denver
Better go! Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver
'Cos you look just like a commie and you might just be a
member
Better get out of Denver, better get out of Denver
Better go!

Get out of Denver, better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver, better....go! Get out of Denver ,
better go, get
out of Denver
Better get out, get out, get out
Get out of Denver
Better go, get out of Denver better go get out of Denver
Better, better
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out

15. All Around My Hat

All around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat, for a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away

Faretheewell cold winter, and faretheewell cold frost
Nothing have I gained, but my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I do see
She's a false deluded young girl, let her go, farewell she

And all around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat, for a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away

The other night she brought me a fine diamond ring
But she thought to have deprived me of a far better thing
But I being careful like lovers ought to be
She's a false deluded young girl, let her go, farewell she

And all around my hat I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat, for a twelve month and a day
And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love who's far far away
