Too Many People (4:06)
Too many people going underground
Too many reaching for a piece of cake
Too many people pulled and pushed around
Too many waiting for that lucky break
That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you
You broke it in two
Too many people sharing party lines
Too many people never sleeping late
Too many people paying parking fines
Too many hungry people losing weight
That was your first mistake
You took your lucky break and broke it in two
Now what can be done for you
You broke it in two
Too many people breaching practices
Don't let them tell you what you wanna be
Too many people holding back, this is
Crazy and maybe it's not like me
That was your last mistake
I find my love awake and waiting to be
Now what can be done for you
She's waiting for me.
3 Legs (2:45)
Well when I walk, when I walk
On my horse upon the hill (when I walk the horse upon a hill)
Well when I walk, walk walk walk
On my horse upon the hill (when I walk the horse upon a hill)
And I lay me down
Will my lover love me still
A dog is here, (a dog is here), a dog is there (a dog is there)
My dog he got three leg
But he can't run
Well when I thought, well I thought
When I thought you was my friend (when I thought I could call you my friend)
When I thought, when I thought
When I thought you was my friend (when I thought I could call you my friend)
But you laid me down, put my heart around the bend
A fly flies in (a fly flies in), a fly flies out (a fly flies out)
Most flies they got three leg, but mine got one.
Well when I fly when I fly when I fly,when I fly above the cloud
(when I fly above the man in the crowd)
Well when I fly when I fly when I fly,when I fly above the crowd
(when I fly above the man in the crowd)
You can knock me down with a feather, yes you could
But you know it's not allowed (but you know it's not allowed)
A dog is here, (a dog is here), a dog is there (a dog is there)
My dog he got three leg
But he can't run
My dog he got three leg
Your dog he got none
My dog he got three leg
Your dog he got none
My dog he got three leg
Your dog he got none

Dear Boy (2:12)
I guess you never knew,
Dear boy, what you had found,
I guess you never knew,
Dear boy, that she was just the cutest thing around.
I guess you never knew what you had found,
Dear boy.
I guess you never saw,
Dear boy, that love was there,
And maybe when you look too hard,
Dear boy, you never do become aware.
I guess you never did become aware,
Dear boy.
When I stepped in, my heart was down and out,
But her love came through and brought me 'round,
Got me up and about.
When I stepped in, my heart was down and out,
But her love came through and brought me 'round,
Got me up and about.
I hope you never know, dear boy,
How much you missed,
And even when you fall in love,
Dear boy, it won't be half as good as this
I hope you never know how much you missed, dear boy.
I stepped in, my heart was down and out,
But her love came through and brought me 'round,
Got me up and about.
Dear boy, how much you missed,
Dear boy.
Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey (4:52)
We're so sorry uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry uncle Albert
But there's no one left at home
And I believe I'm gonna rain
We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry uncle Albert
But if anything should happen we'll be sure to give a ring
We're so sorry uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry uncle Albert
But the kettle's on the boil and we're so easily called away
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie
(the butter wouldn't melt so I put it in the pie)
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Hand across the water (water)
Heads across the sky
Ooo...
Smile Away (3:52)
I was walking down the street the other day
Who did I meet
I met a friend of mine and he did say
Man I can smell your feet a mile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
I was walking down the street the other day

Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away
Who did I meet
I met a friend of mine and he did say
Man I can smell your teeth a mile away
Smile away, smile away, smile away, yeah smile away

Heart of the Country (2:21)
I look high, I look low,
I'm lookin' everywhere I go,
Lookin' for a home
In the heart of the country.
I'm gonna go, l'm gonna go,
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Lookin ' for a home
In the heart of the country.
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow,
Heart of the country,
Smell the grass in the meadow.
Wo wo wo.
Want horse, I want sheep,
I want to get me a good night's sleep,
Livin ' in a home
In the heart of the country.
I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna tell everyone I know
Livin' in a home
In the heart of the country.
Heart of the country
Where the holy people grow,
Heart of the country,
Smell the grass in the meadow.
Wo wo wo..
Monkberry Moon Delight (5:22)
So I sat in the attic,
A piano at my nose,
And the wind played a dreadful cantata (cantata...).
Sore was I from the crack of an enemy's hose,
And the horrible sound of tomato (tomato...).
Ketchup (ketchup)
Soup and puree (soup and puree),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...
When a rattle of rats had awoken,
The sinews, the nerves and the veins.
My piano was boldly outspoken, in attempts to repeat its refrain.
So I stood with a knot in my stomach,
And I gazed at that terrible sight
Of two youngsters concealed in a barrel,
Sucking monkberry moon delight.
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight.
Well, I know my banana is older than the rest,
And my hair is a tangled beretta.
When I leave my pajamas to billy budapest,
And I don't get the gist of your letter (your letter...).
Catch up! (catch up),
Cats and kittens (cats and kittens),
Don't get left behind (get left behind)...
Monkberry moon delight...
Monkberry moon delight...
Eat at Home (3:22)
Come on, little lady,
Lady, let's eat at home.
Come on, little lady,
Lady, let's eat at home, eat at home, eat at home.
Bring the love that you feel for me
Into line with the love I see,
And in the morning you'll bring to me love.
Come on, little lady,
Lady, now don't do that.
Come on, little lady,
Lady, now don't do that, do that, do that.
Ah, ah, ah.
Come on, little lady,
Lady, let's eat in bed,
Eat in bed, eat in bed.
Long Haired Lady (6:00)
Well, well, well, well, well,
Do you love me like you know you ought to do?
Well, well, well, well, well,
Or is this the only thing you want me for?
Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about it for sometime,
Sweet little lass, you are my long haired lady.
Who's the lady that makes that brief occasional laughter?
She's the lady we wears those flashing eyes.
Who'll be taking her home when all the dancing is over?
I'm the lucky man she will hypnotize.
Long haired lady. Long haired lady.
Bells are buzzing about my sweet delectable baby,
Birds are humming about their big surprise.
Who's your favorite person, dear phenomenal lady?
I belong to the girl with flashing eye.
Long haired lady. Long haired lady.
Ah, love is long, love is long, love is long.
Ah, when you're wrong, love is long, love is long.
Well, well, well, well, well,
Do you love me like you know you ought to do?
Well, well, well, well, well,
Or is this the only thing you want me for?
Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about it for sometime,
Sweet little lass, you are my long haired lady.
Bells are buzzing about my sweet delectable baby,
Birds are humming about their big surprise.
Who's your favorite person, dear phenomenal lady?
I belong to the girl with flashing eye.
Long haired lady. Long haired lady.
Ah, sing your song, love is long, love is long.
Ah, love is long, love is long, love is long.

The Back Seat of My Car (4:26)
Speed along the highway, honey I want it my way
But listen to her daddy's song, don't stay out to long
Were just busy hidin', sitting in the back seat of my car
The lazy lights are pretty, we end up in Mexico city
But listen to her daddy's song, makin' love is wrong
Were just busy ridin', sitting in the back seat of my car
Oh we was only hidin', sitting in the back seat of my car
And when we've finshed drivin' we can say we were late in arriving
And listen to her daddy's song, we believe that we can't be wrong
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
We can make it to Mexico city, sittin' in the backseat of my car
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
No no no no
Ohhh we believe that we can't be wrong
Another Day (3:40)
Every day she takes a morning bath s e wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her
As she's heading for the bedroom chair,
It's just another day.
Slipping into stockings,
Stepping into shoes,
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat.
Ah, it's just another day.
At the office where the papers grow she takes a break,
Drinks another coffee
And she finds it hard to stay awake,
It's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day. Du du du du du
Lt's just another day.
Ay
So sad, so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad.
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell,
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.
Ah, stay, don't stand around
And he comes and he stays
But he leaves the next day,
So sad.
Sometimes she feels so sad.
As she posts another letter to the sound of five,
People gather 'round her
And she finds it hard to stay alive,
It's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day.
Ay
So sad, so sad,
Sometimes she feels so sad.
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell,
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell.
Ah, stay, don't stand around
And he comes and he stays
But he leaves the next day,
So sad.
Sometimes she feels so sad.
Every day she takes a morning bath she wets her hair,
Wraps a towel around her
As she's heading for the bedroom chair,
It's just another day.
Slipping into stockings,
Stepping into shoes,
Dipping in the pockets of her raincoat.
Ah, it's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day. Du du du du du
It's just another day.
