[Jean Shepherd]. Man, there was this clown, and he was a real happy guy, a real happy guy, he had all these greens and all these yellows and all these oranges bubbling around inside of him. And he had just one thing he wanted in this world, he just wanted to make people laugh, that's all he wanted out of this world, he was a real happy guy.
I've been around the world in a plane. Settled revolutions in Spain. The North Pole I have charted. But can't get started with you. And at the golf course I'm under par.
This can't be love because I feel so well. No sobs, no sorrows, no sighs. This can't be love I get no dizzy spells. My head is not in the sky. . My heart does not stand still just hear it beat.
when i was a boy i was always was caught, in the middle i was never a winner just a loaner in a crowd trying to find a way out (x2) when i grew a little older and a little bolder i grew in my face and the future i was chasing never seemed to be worth in my rate.
They say live within the moment. Cause there's nothing else but now. But I'm sleepless and it's over. So somebody show me how. . I can get back to a feeling.
Woke up this morning with a smile on my face. Jumped out of bed, took a shower, dressed, cleaned up my place. Made me some breakfast, toast, two scrambled eggs, grits.
Whoa. She a big chick. Big ol' legs. Big ol' thighs. Big ol' hips. Big ol' ass. Big ol' tits. (She's a baby, baby, baby). She so big. Won't nobody even try to reach her mind.
[Chorus]. If you want it to happen baby. Hold fast and believe. You can make it happen baby. You can be where you please. All you gotta do is try. Then try once again.
I was rollin' down the way, and I saw this girl. About twelve years old, in a grown up world. She liked fancy cars, fancy rings. She wanted the life that only money could bring.
You gotta do right by me. It's mandatory, baby. Sweeter than your favorite ice cream be. Bask in my glory, baby. . Don't play no games, that'll ruin things.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's your name girlfriend?. Girlfriend, what's your name?. . My name is J-I-L-L-S-C-O-T-T. Jill Scott representin' North Philly y'all.
I can pay my own light bill baby. Put my own gas in my own car. I can buy my own shoe collection. I've been blessed thus far. . I can kill the spider above my bed.
Here you go jacket down. Timbs off. Remote control. And there you go. Off into outer space. Distant from me. Where do you go. Your eyes are closed. I'd like to know.
(Yeah...uh, uh, uh). (Can't feel the rain). (What, what, uh... we 'bout to do it like). . [Chorus: Repeat 2X ]. The little rain drops fallin' down on me.
Great big houses with great big rooms. Were not fashioned for brides and grooms. A little place is where we should be. Great big troubles and great big cares.
I've just got a feeling. Tonight's the night. Let's tear down the ceiling. Tonight's the night. Take the chain and ball off. From now on I'm free. This is where I fall off.
We all have been selected from city and from farm. They asked us lots of questions, they jabbed us in the arm. We stood there at attention, our faces turning red.
[Verse:]. It's smart to be thrifty when times are so bad. Let's be patriotic, but let's not go mad. We must cheer the colors we prize. So here's what I strongly advise.
They say that falling in love is wonderful. It's wonderful, so they say. And with a moon up above, it's wonderful. It's wonderful, so they tell me. . I can't recall who said it.
This year's crop of kisses. Don't seem as sweet to me. This year's crop just misses. What kisses used to be. This year's new romance. Doesn't seem to have a chance.
