American Pie A long long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile I knew if I had my chance that I could make those people dance and maybe theyd be happy for a while but February made me shiver with every paper Id deliver bad news on the doorstep--- I couldnt take one more step I cant remember if I cried when I--read about his widowed bride something touched me deep inside--the day --the music-- died SO BYE BYE MISS AMERICAN PIE DROVE MY CHEVY TO THE LEVEE BUT THE LEVEE WAS DRY THEM GOOD OL BOYS DRINKING WHISKEY AND RYE SINGING THISLL BE THE DAY THAT I DIE, THISLL 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 youre in love with him cause I saw you dancing in the gym you both kicked off your shoes --man I dig those rhythm and blues I was a lonely teenage bronking buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck but I know I was out of luck the day the music died. Now for 10 years weve been on our own and moss grows fat on a rolling stone, but thats not -------how it used to be when the jester sang for the king and queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean And a voice that came from you and me oh and while the king was looking down the jester stole his thorny crown the courtroom was adjourned-- no verdict was returned and while Lenin read a book on Marx the quartet practiced in the park and we sang dirges in the dark

the day the music died we were singing... Helter- skelter in the summer swelter -the birds flew off with a fallout shelter eight miles high ----and falling fast it landed foul on the grass -the player tried for a forward pass with the jester on the sidelines in a cast --now the half-time air was sweet perfume while the sergeants played a marching tune we all got up to dance , but we never got the chance cause the players tried to take the field, the marching band refused to yield do you recall what was revealed the day the music died And there we were all in one place a generation lost in space with no time left to start again so come Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack Flash sat on a candlestick cause fire is the devils--- only friend and as I watched him on the stage my hands were clenched in fists of rage no anger born in hell ---could break that satans spell and as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite I saw satan laughing with delight the day the music died I met a girl who sang the blues and I asked her for some happy news but she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store where I heard the music years before but the man there said the music wouldnt play and in the streets the children screamed the lovers cried and the poets dreamed but not a word was spoken the church bells all were broken and the 3 men I admire most the father son and the holy ghost they caught the last train for the coast the day the music died.

Anticipation We can never know about the days to come But ..we think about them anyway And I wonder if I'm really with you now Or just--chasing after some finer day Anticipation anticipation is makin me late Is keepin me waiting And I tell you now how easy it feels to be with you How right-- your arms feel around me But I, I rehearsed those words just late last night When I was thinking about how right tonight might be Anticipation anticipation is makin me late Is keepin me waiting And tomorrow we might not be together I'm no prophet and I don't know nature's ways So I'll try and see into your eyes right now And stay right here cause these are the good old days These are the good old days And stay right here cause there are the good old days These are the good old days...

Begin the Beguine When they begin the beguine it brings back the sound of music so tender it brings back a night of tropical splendour it brings back a memory ever green Im with you once more under the stars and down by the shore an orchestras playing and even the palms seem to be swaying when they begin the beguine to live it again is past all endeavour except when that tune clutches my heart and there we are swearing to love forever and promising never never to part what moments divine what rapture serene til clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted and now when I hear people curse the chance that was wasted u know all too well what they mean so dont let them begin the beguine let the love that was once a fire remain an ember let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember when they behin the beguine oh yes let them begin the beguine make them play till the stars that were there before return above you

till you whisper to me once more darling I love you and we suddenly know what heaven were in when they begin the beguine when they begin the beguine

After one whole quart of brandy, Like a daisy Im awake. With no Alka Seltzer handy, I dont even shake. Love is not a new sensation; Ive done pretty well, I think But this wild new thing Ive got has got me on the blink Im wild again beguiled again a simpering whimpering child again Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I I coulnt sleep and wouldnt sleep when love came and told me I shouldnt sleep Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I Lost my heart but what of it You are bold I agree You can laugh but what of it Although the laughs on me Ill sing to you each spring to you And long for the time when Ill cling to you Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

I've seen a lot I mean a lot But now Im like sweet seventeen a lot Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

DESPERADO Desperado, why don't you come to your senses You've been out ridin fences for so long now Oh, you're a hard one, and I know that you've got your reasons These things that are pleasing you will hurt you somehow. Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, she'll beat you if she's able. You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet. Now it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon you table, And you only want the things that you can't get. Desperado, oh you ain't gettin no younger, Your pain and your hunger are driving you home. And freedom, oh freedom, well that's just some people talking, You're a prisoner walking through this world all alone. Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime, the sky won't snow and the sun won't shine. It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day. You're losing all your highs and lows Ain't it funny how your freedom goes away. Desperado, why con't you come to your senses, Come out from your fences and open the gate. It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you, You'd better let somebody love you... let somebody love you... Let somebody love you before it's too late.

But don't forget folks, that's what you get folks for makin whoopee Another year or maybe less what's this I hear well can't you guess, she feels neglected and he's suspected of makin whoopee She sits alone most every night he doesn't phone her he doesn't write he says he's busy but she says "is he?" He's makin whoopee. He doesn't make much money only twenty thousand per Some judge who thinks he's funny says you'll pay twentyone to her He says now judge suppose I fail the judge says, Budge right into jail You'd better keep her I think it's cheaper than makin whoopee.

Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, She's so sorry to be delayed, But last evening down in Lover's Lane she strayed, Madam, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today, madam, When she woke up and found that her dream of love had gone, Madam, She ran to the man who led her so far astray, And from under her velvet gown, She drew a gun, And shot her lover down, Madam, Now, Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today. When the mob came and dragged her from the jail, Madam They strung her upon the old willow across the way And the moment before she died She lifted up her lovely head and cried, Madam Miss Otis regrets she's unable to lunch today."

I used to have a hairpiece known as Hairy With whom I lived a life of airy-fairy It wasnt what youd call a blushing flower Why, I couldnt even take it in the shower. When Hairy died the evil queens came to snicker Their mean old poodles even tried to sic her. But when I saw it laid out like a bush Why even the queens observed a quiet hush. I think of Hairy to this very day And when Im alone I can hear it say What good is having a head-full of hair It only causes so much stress Life is a cabaret old chum And my hair is never a mess. I made my mind up one day in the laundry When I go, Ill go like Sean Connery
