Sing with us!
Summertime
Summertime and the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich and your ma is good-lookin’
So hush little baby, don’t you cry
One of these mornings
You’re gonna rise up singing
Yes you’ll spread your wings
And you’ll take to the sky
But ’til that morning
There ain’t nothin’ can harm you
With Daddy and Mammy standin’ by
Dream a Little Dream of Me
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, I love you
Birds singin’ in the sycamore trees
Dream a little dream of me
Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me
While I’m alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I’m longin’ to linger till dawn dear
Just saying this
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me
Bare Necessities
Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature’s recipes
That bring the bare necessities of life
1
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn’t be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin’ in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
2.
Now when you pick a pawpaw
Or a prickly pear
And you prick a raw paw
Well, next time beware
When you pick a prickly pear
Don’t use the paw,
Use the claw
But you don’t need to use the claw
When you pick a pair of the big pawpaw
So just try and relax
in my backyard
If you work like that bee works
You’re working too hard
And don’t spend your time lookin’ around
For something you want that can’t be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin’ about it
I’ll tell you something true
The bare necessities of life will come to you
King of the Swingers
Now I’m the king of the swingers;
The jungle VIP
I’ve reached the top and had to stop
And that’s what botherin’ me
I wanna be a man now, mancub
And stroll right into town
And be just like the other men;
I’m tired of monkeyin’ around!
Oh, oobee doo
I wanna be like you:
I wanna walk like you
Talk like you, be like you
And they say it’s true:
A monkey like me
Can learn to be like someone like you!
Now don’t try to kid me, mancub
I’ll make a deal with you
What I desire is man’s red fire
So I can be like you
Now give me the secret, mancub
Show me what to do
I desire man’s red flower
So I can be like you
I Can See Clearly Now
I can see clearly now the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It’s gonna be a bright (Bright)
Bright (Bright) sun-shining day
It’s gonna be a bright (Bright)
Bright (Bright) sun-shining day
Oh yes, I can make it now the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is that rainbow I’ve been praying for
It’s gonna be a bright (Bright)
Bright (Bright) sun-shining day
Suzanne
Suzanne takes you down
To her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that she’s half-crazy
But that’s why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you’ve always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For you’ve touched her perfect body with your mind
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said, “All men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them”
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you’ll trust him
For he’s touched your perfect body with his mind
Now Suzanne takes your hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
Everybody Has a Body
Everybody has a body, that we live inside
Everybody has a body, that we just can’t hide,
Everybody has a body, carries us around,
heads in the sky, feet on the ground,
everybody has a body that we live inside
Go un poco Loco
Heya, (heya), Heya, (heya)
Go un poco loco
Crazy times need crazy minds
go un poco loco,
Heya (heya) heya (heya)
Go un poco loco
You’ll go far with a crazy heart
go un poco loco
When you relationship has gone to shit,
go un poco loco,
all those feelings, leave you reeling,
go un poco loco
when you’re so broke it aint a joke
go un poco loco,
money can’t buy, the best things in life
go un poco loco
When you’re so low you don’t know,
go un poco loco,
brain chemicals, are ephemeral,
go un poco loco
When the politics makes you sick,
go un poco loco,
in a thousand years, no one will be here,
go un poco loco
