Girl

Everyone beneath the sun
Is dreaming dreams
Scheming schemes
Wanting what they haven't got
Chasing golden beams
I'm like the rest its quite true
Sweetheart i want something too
I don't want the happiness gold can buy
All that i want is you.

I don't want my share of the sunlit sky
All that i want is you.
I don't want the roses that bloom so fair
I just want your love to be true
The rest of life's joys
Are just worthless toys
For all that i want is you.

Sweetheart true, if you but knew
The hours i've spent
Love's lament
Wondering, dear, when skies would clear
To my heart's content
I hold your love as my goal
I'm yours alone heart and soul!

I don't want the happiness gold can buy
All that i want is you
I don't want my share of the sunlit skies
All that i want is you.
I don't want the roses that bloom so fair
I just want your love to be true
The rest of life's joys
Are just worthless toys
For all that i want is you.




(repeat)

Fourteen!
Fourteen girls in baggy pajamas
What if i'd gone to the south bahamas
Told me i had won the mystery prize
Tied my head behind my back and blindfolded my eyes


Fourteen tons of golden ripe bananas
The one i'd trade for my long lost bandana
The one i won one time at the state fair
With little pictures of james dean slicking back his hair

Fourteen is not my favorite number
At night i dream, i see fourteen spelled out in lumber
Fourteen - i can't understand
Fourteen - 'cause i'm just an ordinary man
Fourteen - i can't understand
Fourteen - 'cause i'm just an ordinary man


Fourteen men to witness my confession
If i'm ever sentenced and die for my obsessions
There's fourteen songs all named fourteen
With fourteen verses each that i dearly love to sing
X-i-v is how the romans said it
In retrospect i'm sure they don't regret it
Eventually their empire finally fell
F-o-u-r-t-e-e-n is how we came to spell


Fourteen - is not my favorite number
At night i dream, i see fourteen spelled out in lumber
Fourteen - i can't understand
Fourteen - 'cause i'm just an ordinary man
Fourteen - i can't understand
Fourteen-'cause i'm just an ordinary man
An ordinary man, an ordinary man
Fourteen!

This is the bye bye blackbird twist.

Pack up all my care and woe
Here i go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Bye bye blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye


Bye bye blackbird

Bye bye blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, blackbird , blackbird bye bye

Goodbye, blackbird
I'm gonna miss ya
I'm gonna miss ya, blackbird
Ya hear dat?
I'm gonna follow you soon
Wherever you go, why i'll follow you
There's someone waiting out there for me, where you're leading
I can see you flappin' your wings now
You're calling me
I hear you calling me
I hear ya! i hear ya!
I'm coming! i'm coming!
I'm almost here
She's there waiting for me
Oh, how wonderful she looks
Oh how marvelous, blackbird
Here! here!
Flap your wings, flap 'em! flap 'em! whistle to me!

That sly cigarette.
Song sung in 1898 by miss. s. h. dudley for the runaway girl
And this is tiny tim trying to redo it.

If girls and boys were asked what joys
They found the most entrancing
Each boy would name his favorite game
>from sports, drink and dancing
But girls with me will all agree
Although you think i'm joking
With twinkling eye they'd make reply
The best of all is smoking.

Oh, sly cigarette
Oh, fine cigarette
Why did you teach me to love you so
When i have to pretend that i don't, you know

(repeat above chorus three times)

Oh, you poor little cigarette!
How they're stomping and crushing you today.
They're taking advantage of your small little nature
They're blaming you for cancer when you can still get
Cholesterol from butter and fat from lard and bacon
And all these meats and cheeses that are causing heart attacks and tumors
Why are they picking on you, oh sly cigarette? it's not fair, somebody has to protest!
And get back to normality again

Oh, sly cigarette
Oh, fine cigarette
Why did you teach me to love you so
When i have to pretend that i don't, you know

Oh, sly cigarette
Oh, fine cigarette
Why did you teach me to love you so
When i have to pretend that i don't, you know

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
And you know sometimes words have two meanings
In the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a feeling i get when i look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts i have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forest will echo with laughter

And it makes me wonder

If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't be alarmed now
It's just a spring clean for the may queen

Yes there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on

Your head is humming and it won't go because you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady can't you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our souls
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll
Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for


And she's buying a stairway to heaven, uh uh uh.

And now the purple dust of twilight time
Steals across the meadows of my heart
Now the little stars, the little stars pine
Always reminding me that we're apart
You wander down the lane and far away
Leaving me a love that cannot die
Love is now the stardust of yesterday
The music of the years gone by.

Sometimes i wonder why i spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
That melody haunts my reverie
And i am once again with you
When our love was new
And each kiss an inspiration
Ah, but that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
Where stars are bright
You are in my arms
That nightingale tells its fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though i dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.

Ah, but that was long ago
Now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song

Beside a garden wall
Where stars are bright
You are in my arms
That nightingale tells its fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew
Though i dream in vain
In my heart it will remain
My stardust melody
The memory of love's refrain.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that i heard of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true

Some day i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't i?
Some day i'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemondrops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't i?

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't i?
