Perfect Fit

When this old world starts getting me down
And people are just too much for me to take
I climb right up to the top of the stairs
And all my cares just drift right into space
On the roof's the only place i know
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Up on the roof

When i get home feeling tired and beat
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
I get away from that hustling crowd
And all that ratrace noise down in the street
At night the stars put on a show for free
And darling you can share it all with me


I keep tellin' you that right smack dab in the middle of town
I found a paradise that's trouble-proof
And if this old world starts getting you down
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Come on baby, come on baby, up on the roof
Up on the roof

She comes on like a rose
But everybody knows
She'll get you in dutch
You can look but you better not touch

Poison ivy
Poison ivy
Late at night while you're sleepin'
Poison ivy comes a creepin' around
She's round


She's pretty as a daisy
But look out man she's crazy
She'll really do you in
If you let her get under your skin


Chorus


Measles make you bumpy
And mumps'll make you lumpy
And chicken pox'll make youjump and twitch
A common cold'll fool ya
And whoopin' cough can cool ya
But poison ivy lord'll make you itch


You're gonna need an ocean
Of calamine lotion
You'll be scratchin' like a hound
The minute you start to mess around


Chorus

Oh don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang
Oh don't you know
That's the sound of the men
Workin' on the chain gang

All day long they work so hard
'til the sun's comin' down
Workin' on the highways and byways
And wearin' a frown
I hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say


(chorus)


Oh i work so..
I work so hard
To see my woman
Who i love so dear
But i, i've gotta work right here


(chorus)


My my my my my my my my my my
My work is so hard
Give me water
I'm thirsty
Oh i, oh my work is so hard
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say


(chorus)


I don't wanna work on that gang (repeat)

drift away


Day after day i'm more confused
But i look for the light thru the pourin' rain
You know that's a game that i hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain
Ain't it a shame-oh

Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away


Beginnin' to think that i'm wasting time>br> and i don't understand the things
I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm counting on you
To carry me thru-oh


Chorus


When my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when i'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' thru to soothe me


Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know i believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along
You're makin' me strong


Chorus

You know i love you
I'll always love you
Even though the tears are fallin'
From my eyes
I still remember baby when
Our love was so strong
So go on
Go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Goodbye, whoa goodbye

He doesn't love you the way that i love you
Cause if he did he wouldn't go and break your heart
He's only flirtin' baby but my love is so strong
So go on, go ahead and kiss him
Go on and kiss him goodbye


Na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye


He's never near you to comfort and cheer you
Even though the tears are fallin', fallin' from your eyes
He might be thrillin' baby but my love is ready and willin'
So go on, go ahead and kiss him
Go ahead and kiss him, oo
Go ahead and kiss him, oo
Go on and kiss him goodbye
Goodbye, whoa goodbye
Bye bye bye, goodbye, whoa goodbye bye bye
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na(repeat)
Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye(repeat)

It seems like the other day
That my baby went away
Went away 'cross the sea
Seems like a year ago
Since i watched my baby go
And then this letter came to me
It said that we were through
You found somebody new
Lemme think, lemme think, what can i do?
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no
Remember...

Walkin' in the sand
Walkin' hand in hand
The night was so exciting
Your smile was so inviting
Then you touched my cheek
With your fingertips
Softly, softly we meet with our lips


Whatever happened to
The love that we once knew
The love you swore would be true?
Whatever happened to
The life i gave to you?
What can i do with it now?


I can make it on my own
And if you phone, i won't be home
It's not so hard to live alone
Still my house is not a home
Oh no, oh no, oh no no no no no
Remember...

Oo wee, oh gee, oh well
To be in love is swell

Your love alone is worth the price
To make me feel like it's paradise
You make my life so tender and sweet now
I'm yours alone, like a slave at your feet


Oo wee, oh gee, oh my
I'll love you 'til the day i die


Your love and mine will show the whole world
Just how much one boy can love one girl


Oo wee, oh gee, oh well
To be in love is swell
Oo wee, oh gee, oh my
I'll love you 'til the day i die
