More Song Lyrics 5

… Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
… You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
… I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded 16 tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said, "Well, a-bless my soul"
… You load 16 tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store

And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
There's six lanes of traffic
Three lanes moving slow
I used to like to go to work, but they shut it down
I've got a right to go to work, but there's no work here to be found
Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed

Well, she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blastin'
Goes cruisin' just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun, fun, fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
(Fun, fun, fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away)

I come home, in the mornin' light
My mother says, "When you gonna live your life right?"
Oh momma dear, we're not the fortunate ones
And girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun

Holly came from Miami FLA
Hitch hiked her way across the USA
Plucked her eyebrows on the way, shaved her legs and then he was a she,
She said, Hey Babe, take a walk on the wild side...

Street's like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the nineties
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances
Looking for
Girls who want boys
Who like boys to be girls
Who do boys like they're girls
Who do girls like they're boys
Always should be someone you really love

And my name's Jack and I live in the back
Of the "Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls"
We all love Jack, we live in the back
Of the "Greta Garbo Home for Wayward Boys and Girls"
There goes Fred with his hands on his head
'Cause he thinks he's heard the bomb
And here comes Superman
Who really puts it on

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key
So they rode on his head in their furry donkey
The kids couldn't hurt Jack
They tried, tried, tried
They dropped things on his back
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied

What would you do if I sang out of tune?
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears, then I'll sing you a song
I will try not to sing out of key, yeah
Oh, baby I get by
(By with a little help from my friends)

Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz
My friends all drive Porches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes Benz

Happiness, happiness
The only gift that I possess
I thank the Lord that I’ve been blessed
With more than my share of happiness

I want you to know that I love you baby
Want you to know that I care
I'm so happy when you're round me but I'm
Sad when you're not there
Sing the song now!
Oh Yeah
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) Tell the truth
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?) She's so nice
(Whatcha Gonna Do About It?)

Ooh your ex is back in town
Whatcha gonna do when she comes around
And she starts going through her act
When she begs you to take her back
Will your love for me remain intact
Or will you run to her

Baby my love is on the line
Baby don't change your mind
Don't change it
Be strong and leave the past behind
Baby don't change your mind
Don't change it
Don't change it

In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter, Clementine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Baby says she's mine
You know she tells me all the time
You know she says so.
She's in love with me and I feel fine.

Sunshine, lollipops and rainbows
Everything that's wonderful is what I feel when we're together
Brighter than a lucky penny
When you're near the rain goes, disappears, dear
And I feel so fine
Just to know that you are mine

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead?
Will we have rainbows day after day?
Here's what my sweetheart said
Qué será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Qué será, será
What will be, will be

I'd like to take you home and make you happy for the rest of your life, I tell
I'd like to take you home so we both can live as man and wife
And if you'd think for a minute of life with me in it
That would really be fine
I'll tell you right now, that's how it's gotta be

Never before having flown
There I'd like to take you where my spirit flies
We go alone through the skies
Never before having flown.

When I die & they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that’s the best
When I lay me down to die
Going up to the spirit in the sky

When you're weary
Feeling small
When tears are in your eyes
I'll dry them all
I'm on your side
Oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Now if you feel that you can't go on
Because all of your hope is gone
And your life is filled with much confusion
Until happiness is just an illusion
And your world around is crumblin' down
Darling, reach out, come on girl, reach on out for me
Reach out, reach out for me
I'll be there, with a love that will shelter you
I'll be there, with a love that will see you through

Love and marriage, love and marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage.
This I tell ya, brother, you can't have one without the other.

Love and marriage, love and marriage,
It's an institute you can't disparage.
Ask the local gentry and they will say it's elementary.

Try, try, try to separate them, it's an illusion.
Try, try, try and you only come to this conclusion:

Love and marriage, love and marriage,
Go together like a horse and carriage.
Dad was told by mother you can't have one
You can't have none.
You can't have one without the other.

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh

Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
