1. _ Bad Businessman
There's a man going around town
Spreading lies
He's the bad businessman
Does his business while he can
He just does his business bad.
He's a clown
Gonna get bounced around
If he don't keep his business underground
He's a player
And everytime he deals a round
It's just a bad hand
What a bad man.
Beware of what he sells
Surely go straight to hell.
T'aint no bottom in that wishing well.

2. _ It Aint You
I've been searching all over for someone
I could tell my troubles to.
Seasrching all the wide world over
Is it you? Is it you?
Are you the kind of man that marries
Then gets his mind on something new?
You've got to let me know I'm all alone.
Is it you? Is it you, baby?
I confide in you.
You seem to understand my point of view
I moan and sigh and you can't understand why

3. _ Blue Angel
Your momma never told you
How you were 'sposed to treat a girl.
Your poppa never told you and
Now you're all alone out in the world.
Sirens are streaming
Inside the winding sheets are pale.
Devils are dreaming
Dreaming of the blue angel.
Now I lay me down to sleep
But troubled dreams are all I find.
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
Pray so I won't lose my mind.
Sirens are screaming
On wings tonight, I'll soon set sail.
Devils are dreaming
Dreaming of a blue angel.
Your momma's going to take it hard
You always were your momma's boy.
Your laying in the graveyard
Now you're not your momma's joy.
Streetlights come streaming
I'll bat an eye and cast my spell.
Devils are dreaming
Dreaming of a blue angel.

4. _ Meant to be
All the time
I'm finding ways to make things fall in line.
I know how tricky things can be.
But I really do believe that you are mine,
and all the stars are there before us.
Listen here, some things are meant to be.
Tried to take it slow, tried to lose control,
But I'll tell you what the trick is:
What you get is what you had to give away.
When I learned,
I found my eyes were opened.
Long ago, I had a dream that quickly faded.
Goes to show how tricky dreams can be.
But wouldn't you agree that,
those who know
Will whisper when they see us walking, 'There's a love that's always meant to be.'

5. _ Prince Nez
She:
Anywhere old Prince Nez goes
That's where I go too
He clears up a stormy sky,
Whenever he's by my side.
Everything's nearer, everything's clearer
Everything's so divine.
I don't care what momma sez
Prince Nez I'm gonna make you mine.
He:
Anywhere old Prince Nez goes
That's where she goes too!
Always so debonair.
Flirting with such a flair.
(Oh you dog!)
Everything's hazy, everything's crazy
Everything's up in the air.
My gal sez she loves Prince Nez
But I really don't care.

6. _ Got My Own Thing Now
When I was a lad, I was a little bit shy.
Something came along and caught my eye.
When I heard the jazz band strike up,
I swear, I had my mind made up.
Now I'm getting older
Everything is in full swing.
Now I'm getting bolder
Man, I've got to do that thing.
I used to walk along with the rest
Now I've got something all my own
Now you've got a little something new.
Broke away, somehow.
That's why I'm swinging it
I've got my own thing now!
Children put away your toys
All your little children's games.
Let the jazz band make some noise
Step up ladies and watch out boys.
'Mirror on the wall,
who's the hot band in the hall?'
Let everybody sing
Get on out there and do your thing.

7. _ Hell
In the afterlife
You could be headed for the serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be Hell to pay
People listen attentively
I mean about future calamity
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his feet.
This is a place where eternally
Fire is applied to the body
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed around.
Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the other side.
Now the D and the A and the M
and the N and the A
And the T and the I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a suit of flame

8. _ Twilight
Oh you come to me at twilight
The soft summer breeze, the sand
The waving hair
But how am I to know?
This feeling has no name
Each morning I dream of twilight
And wait for your glow
Down where the moonflowers grow
Far beneath the sea awaits a home for me

9. _ It Ain't You
I've been searching all over for someone
I can tell my troubles to.
Searching all the wide world over
Is it you?
Are you the kind of man that marries
Then gets his mind on something new?
You've got to let me know
I'm all alone
Is it you, baby?
I confide in you
Seem to understand my point of view
I moan and sigh
And you can't understand why.
I've been searching all over for trouble
I could get myself into.

12. _ Put a Lid on It
Put a lid on it
What's that you say?
Put a lid on it
Oh man, no way
Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right.
Put a lid on it
Don't hand me that
Put a lid on it
I'm all right, Jack
Put a lid down on it, before somebody starts a fight.
Say, every time I turn it loose you cats Come down and cook my goose
When I start I just can't stop
But if you keep this up you're gonna blow your top!
Put a lid on it
Too late this time
Put a lid on it
I've got to get what's mine
Put a lid down on it, and everything will be all right.
Well, grab your drink and clear a space I think it's time to torch this place
Now the girl's in overdrive
But some of your pals want to stay alive!
I'll put a lid on it
I'll put a lid down on it
Save it for another night
