Lyrical Response

[SinceThe70s]

Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac
Yeah! The boy's a time bomb

[Gray Beard]

Now I've got a guy and his name is Dooley
He's my guy and I love him truly
He's not good lookin', heaven knows
But I'm wild about his crazy clothes

He wears tan shoes with pink shoelaces
A polka dot vest and man, oh, man
Tan shoes with pink shoelaces
And a big Panama with a purple hat band

[SinceThe70s]

And I wear my sunglasses at night
So I can, so I can
See the light that's right before my eyes

[Bill from NYC]

Just to be alone
Was a little more than I could take
Then you came to stay,
Hold me in the morning
Love me in the afternoon
Help me find my way, hey yeah

Now and then just like before
I think about the love I've thrown away
But now it doesn't matter anyway

Baby what a big surprise…

Baby what a big surprise
Right before my very eyes
Oh, oh, oh, woah, oh

[Gray Beard]

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight

[WhoTom]

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
'Till touch down brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no

I'm a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his fuse up here alone

 

[Bill from NYC]

The story's in the past with nothin' to recall
I've got my life to live and I don't need you at all
The roller-coaster ride we took is nearly at an end
I bought my ticket with my tears, that's all I'm gonna spend

And I think it's gonna be all right
Yeah, the worst is over now
The mornin' sun is shinin' like a red rubber ball

[SinceThe70s]

 

Hand me down my walkin' cane
Hand me down my hat
Hurry now and don't be late
'Cause we ain't got time to chat
You and me we're goin' out
To catch the latest sound
Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high you won't come down

 

Hey ya'll prepare yourself for the rubberband man
You've never heard a sound
Like the rubberband man
You're bound to lose control
When the rubberband starts to jam

[Gray Beard]

Anybody here see the noise, see the fear and commotion
I think we missed it
Anybody here see the love, see the hate, the emotion

 

Don't give me no hand me down shoes
Don't give me no hand me down love
Don't give me no hand me down world
I got one already
 

Anybody here see the long-distance cheer for the notion
Well, I think we missed it
Anybody here see the sky weeping tears for the ocean

[SinceThe70s]

Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
If you got the notion,
I second that emotion.
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
I second that emotion.

[WhoTom]

You try to see your future from the line
And you're clinging to the notion you'll be fine
But the circle's getting smaller all the time

 

[SinceThe70s]

Baby says she's mine, you know
She tells me all the time, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine

[Gray Beard]

I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl)

 

I've got so much honey the bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees
Well I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl ooh)

[WhoTom]

Well I'm a king bee
Buzzing around your hive
Well I'm a king bee, baby
Buzzing around your hive
Yeah I can make honey baby
Let me come inside

 

[Bill from NYC]

Blind man running
Through the light
Of the night
With an answer in his hand
Come on down
To the river of sight
And you can really understand

Red lights flashing
Through the window
In the rain
Can you hear the sirens moan?
White cane lying
In a gutter in the lane
If you're walking home alone

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning
Just find someone who's turning
And you will come around

I want to take time to thank the OP and all participants in this thread. It brought back decades of outstanding poetry and music.

 

Yes, thanks to you all.

[SinceThe70s]

You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.

[WhoTom]

And so today, my world, it smiles
Your hand in mine, we walk the miles
And thanks to you, it will be done
For you, to me, are the only one

[Gray Beard]

Me and you and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together

 

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you
For all my life
When you're with me, baby the skies'll be blue
For all my life

[PastaJoe]

I remember to this day, the bright red Georgia clay
How it stuck to the tires after the summer rain
Will power made that old car go, a woman's mind told me that it's so
Oh, how I wish we were back on the road again

 

Me and you and a dog named Boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love bein' a free man
