Lyrical Response

[DrW]

I bought the Mississippi River
Of course that don't include the towns
Or the people
Around the Mississippi
Well, to cinch the deal the man threw
In a boat with crew
And then I knew I'd better grab that
River fast
It wouldn't last
They never do, they never do
It wouldn't last, last, last

[PastaJoe]

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby like a robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a schoolboy loves his pie
And I love you baby, river deep, mountain high
Baby, baby, baby, oh, baby oh oh
Do I love you, my oh my
Yeah, river deep, mountain high, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry
Oh, how I love you baby.
Baby, baby, baby.

The caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within
Caterpillar sheds his skin to find a butterfly within
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain

 

Oh Juanita, oh Juanita, oh Juanita, I call your name
Oh, the snow will be a blinding sight to see as it lies on yonder hillside

[SinceThe70s]

I said Juanita, my sweet Juanita, what are you up to?
My Juanita
I said Jaunita, my sweet chiquita, what are you up to?
My Juanita

 

Put my money in your meter baby so it won't run down
But you caught me in a squeeze play on the cheesy side of town
Throw me a dime, throw me a line
'Cause there's a fat man in the bathtub with the blues

[DD4Bills]

So forget all your duties, oh yeah
Fat bottomed girls, they'll be riding today
So look out for those beauties, oh yeah

On your marks, get set, go

[PastaJoe]

Some girls give me money, some girls buy me clothes
Some girls give me jewelry, that I never thought I'd own

Some girls give me diamonds, some girls, heart attacks
Some girls I give all my bread to, I don't ever want it back

[muppy]

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it’s not that way
I wasn’t born to lose you

I want you, I want you
I want you, so bad
Honey, I want you

[PastaJoe]

You could be my silver spring
Blue-green colors flashin'
I would be your only dream
Your shinin' autumn ocean crashin' 
Don't say that she's pretty 
And did you say that she loved you?
Baby, I don't want to know

[Bill from NYC]

Blue's the colour of the sky-y,
In the morning, when we rise,
In the morning, when we rise.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.

Mellow is the feeling that I get,
When I see her, m-hmm,
When I see her, oh yeah.
That's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
 

[muppy]

 

Strollin' in the park
Watchin' winter turn to spring
Walkin' in the dark
Seein' lovers do their thing

Oo-oo-ooh
That's the time
I feel like makin' love to you
That's the time
I feel like makin' dreams come true, oh Baby

[DD4Bills]

While strolling through the park one day
In the merry, merry month of May
I was taken by surprise
By a pair of roguish eyes
I was scared, but I didn't run away!

[Bill from NYC]

Something tells me I'm a fool

Let you treat me so cruel

But nevertheless I say again

You gotta be waiting

 

Sittin' in the park, Waitin' for hoooo-hoo-hoo-hoo

[DD4Bills]

I was walking in the park dreaming of a spark
When I heard the sprinklers whisper,
Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns.
Then I heard the children singing,
They were running through the rainbows.
They were singing a song for you.
Well it seemed to be a song for you,
The one I wanted to write for you, for you, you.

[PastaJoe]

I came for you, for you, I came for you 
But you did not need my urgency 
I came for you, for you, I came for you 
But your life was one long emergency 
And your cloud line urges me 
And my electric surges free

[muppy]

Princess cards she sends me
With her regards
Oh, barroom eyes shine vacancy
To see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle
I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her cheshire smile, I'll stand on file
She's all I ever wanted

You let your blue walls get in the way of these facts, honey
Get your carpetbaggers off my back
Girl, give me time to cover my tracks
She said, "Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks"
But they're not what I came for
Oh, I came for so much more
And I know you know that, too (I came for you)
And I know you know that's true (I came for you)

I came for you
I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you

[Bill from NYC]

Crazy cat peekin' through a lace bandanna
Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle
To a double-e waterfall over my back

[PastaJoe]

Johnny, rosin' up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia and the Devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the Devil gets your soul

[muppy]

You don't understand, no
The full intent of my plan

Baby, I wanna be soul provider, yeah
Baby, I wanna stay that way for the longest time
Baby, I wanna be soul provider
Just say you'll let me and, darlin', I will, I will yeah

[PastaJoe]

Baby, can you understand me now?
Sometimes I get a little mad
Don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong, I seem to go bad

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

 

[technobot]

And when there's nowhere else to run

Is there room for one more son

These changes ain't changing me

The cold-hearted boy I used to be

 

Yeah, you know you got to help me out

Yeah, oh don't you put me on the backburner

You know you got to help me out

You're gonna bring yourself down

Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

 

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
