Lola

I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola
See-oh-el-aye cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
El-oh-el-aye Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola
la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
And said dear boy won't you come home with me
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
I pushed her away I walked to the door
I fell to the floor I got down on my knees
Then I looked at her and she at me
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola

La-la-la-la Lola
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man
Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola
La-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola

Strawberry Fields Forever

Let me take you down, cause I'm going to,
Strawberry Fields,
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about,
Strawberry Fields Forever

Living is easy with eyes closed,
Misunderstanding all you see
It's getting hard to be someone, but it all works out,
It doesn't matter much to me

Let me take you down, cause I'm going to,
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about,
Strawberry Fields Forever

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low
That is you can't you know tune it, but it's all right
That is I think it's not too bad

Let me take you down, cause I'm going to,
Strawberry Fields,
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about,
Strawberry Fields Forever

Always know sometimes think it's me,
But you know I know when it's a dream
I think a "No" will mean a "Yes" but it's all wrong,
That is I think I disagree

Let me take you down, cause I'm going to,
Strawberry Fields
Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about,
Strawberry Fields Forever
Strawberry Fields forever,
Strawberry Fields Forever

NOTE: At the end of this song, there is a spoken phrase that for years people believed Lennon was saying "I buried Paul," in furtherance of the "Paul is dead," theory and rumor. In fact, he is saying "cranberry sauce."

(Don't Fear) The Reaper

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone

Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are

Come on baby, don't fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand, don't fear the Reaper
We'll be able to fly, don't fear the Reaper
Baby I'm your man

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone

Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity
Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday
Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday
Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday
We can be like they are

Come on baby, don't fear the Reaper
Baby take my hand, don't fear the Reaper
We'll be able to fly, don't fear the Reaper
Baby I'm your man

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone

Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew and then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid, come on baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on baby, don't fear the Reaper

Keep on Rockin' in the Free World

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes

There's a warning sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.

Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.

Uneasy Rider

I was takin' a trip out to LA
toolin' along in my Chevrolet
tokin' on a number and diggin' on the radio
jes' as I cross the Mississippi line
I heard that highway start to whine
and I knew that left rear tire was about to go
well the spare was flat and I got uptight
'cause there wasn't a fillin' station in sight
so I jes' limped down the shoulder on the rim
I went as far as I could and when I stopped the car
it was right in front of this little bar
a kind of a redneck lookin' joint called the Dew Drop Inn
well I stuffed my hair up under my hat
and told the bartender that I had a flat
and would he be kind enough to give me change for a one
there was one thing I was sure proud to see
there wasn't a soul in the place 'cept for him an' me
and he jest looked disgusted an' pointed toward the telephone
I called up the station down the road a ways
and he said he wasn't very busy t'day
and he could have somebody there in jest 'bout ten minutes or so
he said now you jes' stay right where yer at
and I didn't bother tellin' the durn fool I sure as hell didn't have anyplace else to go
I jes ordered up a beer and sat down at the bar
when some guy walked in an' said who owns this car
with the peace sign the mag wheels and four on the floor
well he looked at me and I damn near died
and I decided that I'd jus wait outside
so I layed a dollar on the bar and headed for the door
jes' when I thought I'd get outta there with my skin
these five big dude come strollin' in
with this one old drunk chick and some fella with green teeth
an' I was almost to the door when the biggest one said
you tip your hat to this lady son
an' when I did all that hair fell out from underneath
now the last thing I wanted was to get into a fight
in Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night
'specially when there was three of them and only one of me
well they all started laughin' and I felt kinda sick
and I knew I'd better think of somethin' pretty quick
so I jes' reached out an' kicked ol' green-teeth right in the knee
he let out a yell that'd curl your hair
but before he could move I grabbed me a chair
and said watch him folks 'cause he's a thouroughly dangerous man
well you may not know it but this man's a spy
he's an undercover agent for the FBI
and he's been sent down here to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan
he was still bent over holdin' on to his knee
but everyone else was lookin' and listenin' to me
and I layed it on thicker and heavier as I went
I said would you beleive this man has gone as far
as tearin' Wallace stickers off the bumpers of cars
and he voted for George McGoveren for president
well he's a friend of them long-haired hippie type pinko fags
I betcha he's even got a Commie flag
Tacked up on the wall inside of his garage

he's a snake in the grass I tell ya guys
he may look dumb but that's jus a disguise
he's a mastermind in the ways of espionage
they all started lookin' real suspicious at him
and he jumped up an' said jes' wait a minute jim
you know he's lyin' I've been livin' here all of my life
I'm a faithfull follower of Brother John Burch
and I belong to the Antioch Baptist Church
and I ain't even got a garage -- you can call home and ask my wife
then he started sayin' somethin' 'bout the way I was dressed
but I didn't wait around to hear the rest
I was too busy movin' and hopin' I didn't run outta luck
and when I hit the ground I was makin' tracks
and they were jes' takin' my car down off the jacks
so I threw the man a twenty an' jumped in an' fired that mother up
Mario Andretti woulda sure been proud
of the way I was movin' when I passed that crowd
comin' out the door and headin' toward me in a trot
an' I guess I shoulda gone ahead an' run
but somehow I couldn't resist the fun
of chasin' them jes' once around the parkin' lot
well they're headin' for their car but I hit the gas
and spun around and headed them off at the pass
well I was slingin' gravel and puttin' a ton of dust in the air
well I had them all out there steppin' an' a fetchin'
like their heads were on fire and their asses was catchin'
but I figured I oughta go ahead an split before the cops got there
when I hit the road I was really wheelin'
had gravel flyin' and rubber squeelin'
an' I didn't slow down 'til I was almost to Arkansas
I think I'm gonna re-route my trip
I wonder if anybody'd think I'd flipped
if I went to LA via Omaha

Let the Sun Shine In

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius

Age of Aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Aquarius!

Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in
Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in,Ê the sunshine in

Oh, let it shine, c'mon
Now everybody just sing along
Let the sun shine in
Open up your heart and let it shine on in
When you are lonely, let it shine on
Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
And when you feel like you've been mistreated
And your friends turn away
Just open your heart, and shine it on in

Excitable Boy

Well, he went down to dinner in his Sunday best
Excitable boy, they all said
And he rubbed the pot roast all over his chest
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

He took in the four a.m. show at the Clark
Excitable boy, they all said
And he bit the usherette's leg in the dark
Excitable boy, they all said
Well, he's just an excitable boy

Ooh, wa-ooh, oo-ooh, excitable boy
Ooh, wa-ooh, oo-ooh, excitable boy

He took little Susie to the Junior Prom
Ooh, wa-ooh
Excitable boy, they all said
Oo-ooh, excitable boy
And he raped her and killed her, then he took her home
Ooh, wa-ooh
Excitable boy, they all said
Oo-ooh, excitable boy
Well, he's just an excitable boy

After ten long years they let him out of the Home
Excitable boy, they all said
Oo-ooh, excitable boy
And he dug up her grave and built a cage with her bones
Excitable boy, they all said
Oo-ooh, excitable boy
Well, he's just an excitable boy

Ooh, wa-ooh, oo-ooh, excitable boy
Ooh, wa-ooh, oo-ooh, excitable boy
{Repeat to fade}

The Porpoise Song

My, my the clock in the sky is pounding away
There's so much to say
A face, a voice, an overdub has no choice
And it cannot rejoice

Wanting to be, to hear and to see
Crying to the sky
But the porpoise is laughing good-bye, good-bye
good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Clicks, clacks
Riding the backs of giraffes for laughs is alright for a while
The ego sings of castles and kings and things
That go with a life of style

Wanting to feel, to know what is real
Living is a lie

But the porpoise is waiting good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye
Good-bye, good-bye, good-bye

Incense and Peppermints

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' and kind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Oh Cajun spice, sweats and blushers your mind

Incense and peppermints, the color of thyme

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose

Incense and peppermints, two meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around
Look at yourself, look at yourself,
Yeah, yeah
Look at yourself, look at yourself,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah

Tune-a by the cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, It's the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothing is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose

Good sense, innocence, crippled and kind
Dead kings and many things I can't define
Oh Cajun spice, sweats and blushers your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of thyme

Who cares what games we choose?
Little to win, but nothing to lose

Incense, peppermints, incense, peppermints

Sha-la-la, sha-la-la.....

Radar Love

I've been drivin' all night, my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
My baby called, said she needs me here
It's half past four and I'm shifting gears

When she gets lonely and the longing gets too much
She sends a cable comin' in from above
Don't need to talk at all
We got a thing that's called radar love
We got a wave in the air
Radar love

Radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee is comin' on strong
The road has got me hypnotized
I'm spinnin' into a new sunrise

When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends a comfort coming in from above
Don't need a letter at all
We got a thing that's called radar love
We got a wave in the air
Radar love

No more speed I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool, now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of clouds goes down real slow
And the radio plays some forgotten song
Brenda Lee is coming on strong
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar lover gone

ÉWe got a thing that's called radar loveÉ
