Lyrical Response

[Uncle Joe]

But you
Why you wanna give me a run-around?
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up?
When all it does is slow me down

[Gugny]

Keep away from Runaround Sue.

[SinceThe70s]

I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue"

[ChevyVanMiller]

Hey, hey whoa oh oh oh oh, Hey Hey

Keep away from Runaround Sue

[Reed83HOF]

Listen baby, ssss, ooh, ow, ah, uh
Oh man, it's hard enough, yeah
And you make it harder
Ah, fill me up, I'm never satisfied
Own me, she owns it

Here we go around, 'round, 'round
Run, run, run around, 'round, 'round, 'round

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

I knew right from the beginning
That you would end up winnin'
I knew right from the start
You'd put an arrow through my heart

[Steve O]

I'll hold down my sail

where the lakes come together

bide away the days

in the heart of Buffalo

[WhoTom]

Truckin' up to Buffalo.

Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow.

 

[ExiledInIllinois]

Electrical banana
Is gonna be a sudden craze
Electrical banana
Is bound to be the very next phase

They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow
(Quite rightly)
They call me mellow yellow

[Steve O]

There's the seat where poor Billy threw up on his date

and where Larry and Sandy could no longer wait

there was no road too winding and no where too far

for two bucks of gas and my old yellow car

[DaBillsFanSince1973]

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

[ExiledInIllinois]

We are drinkin' beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant car wash
The good people of the world they're washin' their cars
On their lunch break
Hosin' and scrubbin' as best they can in skirts in suits
They drive up in their shiny Datsuns and Buicks
Back to the phone company and record stores too
Nothin' like Billy and me, 'cause

[Uncle Joe]

In some of my songs I have casually mentioned
The fact that I like to drink beer
This little song is more to the point
Roll out the barrel and lend me your ears

I like beer, it makes me a jolly good fellow

[ExiledInIllinois]

Roll out the barrel, we'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel, we've got the blues on the run
Zing boom tararrel, ring out a song of good cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel, for the gang's all here

Da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Then they hear a rumble on the floor-or-or-or
It's the big surprise they're waiting for
And all the couples they form a ring
For miles around you'll hear them sing

Drree mopado theedo da-da-da-da

[SlimShady'sSpaceForce]

Row row row your boat 

Gently down the lock 

Merrily merrily life is but as lock 

[ExiledInIllinois]

The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait
When the gales of November came slashin'
When afternoon came it was freezin' rain
In the face of a hurricane west wind

When suppertime came, the old cook came on deck sayin'
Fellas, it's too rough to feed ya
At seven pm a main hatchway caved in, he said
Fellas, it's been good t'know ya
The captain wired in he had water comin' in
And the good ship and crew was in peril
And later that night when his lights went outta sight...

[Gray Beard]

That’s the night that the lights went out in Georgia 

[WhoTom]

Sometimes I feel like I'm fading away
You're looking at me, I've got nothing to say
Don't make me angry with the games that you play
Either light up or leave me alone

[Gray Beard]

I don't wanna fade away
Tell me what can I do what can I say
Cause darling I don't wanna fade away
 

[Steve O]

the face in the water looks up

she shakes her head as if to say

that the blue girls have all gone away

sail away away 

ripples never come back
