Pastiche

Pieces of dreams
Islands and oceans
Lovers marooned in each other's arms
Just you and me
The sand and the sea
All alone and drifting it seems
Floating away on
Pieces of dreams

Two robinson crusoes
Castaway hearts
Shipwrecked in paradise come true
For me and for you
Lost among our pieces of dreams
Far from together
Halfway between now and forever

We'll watch the waves
On a beach where nobody can find us
We'll leave the whole world behind us
Just you and me -

Pieces of dreams
Floating away on
Pieces of dreams
Islands and oceans
Lovers marooned in each others arms
Just you and me
Adrift and so free
Making love and making believe
Shaping our lives from
Pieces of dreams

Met a gal in calico
Down in santa fe
Used to be her sunday beau
'til i rode away
Do i want her
Do i want her love - yes, siree
Will i win her
Will i win her love - wait and see

Workin' with the rodeo
Rode from town to town
Seen most every kinda gal
Every kind of gown
But who makes my heart sing
Yipee yi, yipee yo -
My little gal in calico

I'll take my gal in calico
Down in santa fe
Guess i better let her know
That i feel this way
Is she waitin' (is she waitin')
Aw, she'd better be
Am i hopin' to be ropin' her
Yes siree

Gonna quit the rodeo
Gonna settle down
Buy a bolt of calico
For a wedding gown
And will i fence her in
Yip yipee yi, yip yipee yo ---
My little gal in calico

Little gal in calico
My little gal in calico
Yipee yi, yipee yo -------

Take a seat and cool it 'cause unless you overrule it
We are ready to show you some blowin'
A rompin' and a stompin' is a lot of fun
Four brothers who are blowin' our horns

So settle down an' listen 'cause you don't know what you're missin'
And we're ready to give you a showin'
A movin' it 'n groovin' it has just begun
Four brothers who are blowin' our horns

We got a little message that you're gonna enjoy
Ain't no sense in dodgin' the facts
So settle in your easy chair an' if you ever had a care - forget it,
It's time to relax

We might as well admit it, we're the best that ever did it
But in case you ain't too sure a knowin'
We're gonna let you listen to us one by one
Four brothers who are blowin' our horns

Janis:
How'd ya do, i'm talkin' about you
It's very nice to know that you have really taken time to listen to me blow
'cause as sure as i'm born, i'm blowin' my horn
It's me baby, i'm blowin', zootin' it up
And i hope you dig the sounds i'm makin' more'n any other
Now i must go for it's time for you to listen to my other brother

Tim:
I think the chick's talkin' 'bout me so i'd better go 'n see
I'm hip that she knows a horn is very best to greet you
That's the reason i'm blowin' so snappily
I don't know what ya got, but it thrills me an' i hope to have a lot
'cause it puts me in clover
So baby, if you would like to dig my other brother
You're gonna have to turn the record over

Alan:
Hey hey hey
Who ya talkin' about, say who ya talkin' about
Did i hear you say you'd introduce your other brother
'cause in case i heard you talkin' about three, that's me
Pleased to meet you, how'd you do, how are you, nothing new,
How is everything with you?
Whattya say i leave this jazz up to my brother --

Cheryl:
Dig dig dig my long island sound
I hope you're puttin' it down
You got me in a mood that's so romantic
If you notice you can dig this silly old act
Because i'm actin' so distracted when i dig you
Pretty baby you will never know how much i really dig you
You have got me so excited that i goofed blowin' my horn

All:
Ooh bop the news is gettin' around, we're really puttin' it down
We're glad of fact that you enjoy it and we wish we had the time to give you more
Thank you for the compliment
You told us we were better just as if we didn't know it
We're hip that we're the best, we're over all the rest
We're in the modern school, we always play it cool, we never play the fool
The honkers and the squeakers might be stealin' the show
But we don't go for that, so while we blow

Band member:
Hi-ho, lackadaise, for it's a natural fact
I ain't no kin, but i would like to get in the act!

All:
Well get outta here, get outta here, get outta here
Now fellas we appreciate him makin you mad,
But we must ask you to apologize
Because after all he's in our band

Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers
Although we sound like more
Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers
We're really only four

We like to blow but we don't know how time can fly and how our cares pass away
We wish the time would never go so we could take our time an' blow 'til judgement day

Four brothers, four brothers, four brothers
Now just one final word:

Janis: i'd like to know you and i hope i don't forget you
Tim: it's really a pleasure and i hope i don't look silly to you
Alan: i'm hopin' the story that i told did not upset you
Cheryl: sorry now in conclusion were you hoping that you heard four

All:
So just before we go we want you to know ---
We're glad you let us show you how we always end up with that jazz
(we don't call for back up on the road)
Oh - ohhh!!!!

Who (who ooh ooh ooh oo)
What (woo ooh ooh ooh oo)
Where (woo ooh ooh ooh oo)
Why (tell me why, tell me why, tell me why---)

I don't understand
Let's sit down and talk
One minute you love me and then you walk
There's more going on
Than you will admit
'cause just as we got it to work you quit

I'm caught in a fog
And you make it clear
The truth won't be worse than the things i fear
It's a mystery to me
I haven't a clue
If somebody else has a part of you

Tell me
Who (who)
What when where why (why)
Who is the guy
What made you need someone new
Tell me
Who what when where why
When did it die
When'd we go wrong
Don't you lie, tell me why

You won't be my love
You won't be my friend
But won't you at least help me comprehend
What's happening to me
'cause after you go
My one consolation will be to know
The places and names, the reason and rhymes
The facts of the matter and points in time
I tried for your love
But you won't allow
This guy to do nothin' but ask you how -

And - who (who)
What when where why (why)
Who is the guy
What made you need someone new
Tell me
Who what when where why
When did it die
When'd we go wrong
Don't you lie, tell me why --

I want you to say
What's inside your head
Confession is good for the soul it's said
So start at the top and take it real slow
If you want out, then i have to know

Just - who (who)
What when where why (why)
Who is the guy
What made you need someone new
Tell me
Who what when where why
When did it die
When'd we go wrong
Don't you lie, tell me why

(repeat and fade)

On a little street in singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace

My sails tonight are filled with perfume of shalimar
With temple bells that guide me to her shore
And then i hold you in my arms
And love the way i loved before
On a little street in singapore

On a little street in singapore
With me - beside a lotus covered door
A veil of moonlight on her lovely face
How pale the hands that held me in embrace
