Take an a-a-aphrodisiac, don't do no-no-nothing, just relax
Your ha-ha-heart goes piddle-pat, take an a-a-aphrodisiac
If you want to fall in love with somebody
Somebody that you're not in love with at all
With an a-a-a-aphrodisiac, your ha-ha-heart goes piddle-pat
Don't do nothing, just relax with an a-a-aphrodisiac
If you want to fall in love with somebody - hey
Somebody that you're not in love with at all
Exciting you, just make you love me too
Somebody that you're not in love with at all
I'm your a-a-a-aphrodisiac, don't do nothing, just relax
Gives you a a a heartattack, just take your clothes off, this is overjack
If you want to fall in love with somebody
Somebody that you're not in love with at all
Take an a-a-a-aphrodisiac, don't do no-no-nothing, just relax
Elephants is unagreed, wo-wo-wo-wor to succeed
A-a-aphrodisiac, gives you a a a heartattack
Don't do nothing, just relax, I'll be your aphrodisiac
Don't do nothing, just relax, with an a-a-aphrodisiac

Children, I wanna warn ya, 'cause I've been to California
Where Mickey Mouse is such a demon, where Mickey Mouse is as big as a house
Life is wasted on illusions, Tom and Jerry's no solution
Evil gangs will cut the demons, Pinnochio's a real boy, look around
And I cry all night, do you wanna hold me, hold me tight
Do you wanna hold me, oh yeah, do you wanna hold me, hold me there
Children, you got to hear me, you just got to understand me
Love and death ain't no physical thing
'Cos Mickey Mouse, he don't wanna know
And I cry all night, do you wanna hold me, hold me tight
Do you wanna hold me, oh yeah, do you wanna hold me, hold me there
Do you wanna
And I cry all night, do you wanna hold me, hold me tight
Do you wanna hold me, oh yeah, do you wanna hold me, hold me there
And I cry all night, there ain't no more confusion in the night
There's someone there to tell me what is right
Do you wanna hold me, hold me tight
And I cry all night, there's only one solution to this life
There's someone there to tell me what it's like
Do you wanna hold me, oh yeah, do you wanna hold me, oh yeah
Do you wanna hold me, hold me there
Do you wanna hold me, oh yeah... (repeats out)

I saw, my honey, he looked so funny
Wearing a uniform, attached to chain and ball
I said, hello dear, was there a sort of fear
Reflected on his face, my wild boy's in disgrace, he's just

A roving, reckless, restless roustabout - rou-rou-roustabout
He broke the law and now he can't get out - rou-rou-roustabout

I've seen my honey, he's not so funny
A uniform of white, a padded cell at night
Who claims the glory, and loves the story
Vultures who think they're smart, straight out of Eton art (in pinstripes)

See he's A roving, reckless, restless roustabout - rou-rou-roustabout
He broke the law and now he can't get out - rou-rou-roustabout

Slap that bass Leigh-Roy

'Cos my baby doesn't want me, doesn't want me anymore
I'm so lonesome tonight, I'm so lonesome tonight
I'm so lonesome tonight, whoah-oh-oh
'Cos my baby doesn't want me, doesn't want me anymore
I'm so hungry for love, I'm so hungry for love
I'm so hungry for love now, whoah-oh-oh
'Cos my baby doesn't want me, doesn't want me anymore
He don't phone me no more, no, he don't knock on my door
He don't want me no more, no, I'm so hungry for love now, whoah-oh-oh
'Cos my baby doesn't want me, doesn't want me anymore

Baby, am I really what I seem, baby, am I really what I seem
Oh baby, am I really what I seem

Oh baby, love's not like a movie show

I went to see, to see what I could see
I couldn't find no one, but everyone found me
It ain't no good to fool around all day
So listen everybody, 'cos here is what we say
Chorus:
What's the time, hey buddy, hey buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy
What's the time, hey buddy, hey buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy-buddy
What's the time, (as you walk) I don't know, (as you fly) I don't know
(As you climb) I don't know
It better get better, it better get better
I'm not shy and, will someone lend a hand
Don't sit around all day, don't want to join a band
It ain't no good to fool around all day
So listen everybody, 'cos here is what we say
chorus
I'm in here and I really don't care, I'm much too hip and groovy, oh
chorus repeats 2x

Mario was a halfbreed man, he used to make out, he was poor
Mario's mum had him under her gun, 'cos her white side did him more
Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home
Torn between two loyalties, leaving dad alone at home
Chorus:
There's only one thing I say, you've got to live day by day
You got to find your own way to throw the dice
You got to prove that you're tough, to take the smooth with the rough
There's only one way you'll get to paradise
Mario and his mother ran so far, so far away
Daddy got out his shotgun and went to hunt them the very next day
Finally caught up with them, said "I'm gonna shoot you down, my boy"
Mother said, "No, don't do that, pa, you're gonna kill my only joy"
Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy
Anger flew and shot in two, their only son, their little boy
chorus repeats 4x
There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to throw the dice
There's only one thing I say, you got to find your own way to paradise

He's my man, he's my man mountain, he's my lover and dear oh to me
He's my man, he's my man mountain, Lord, delivers his soul onto me, Lord
Delivers his soul onto me, Lord, delivers his soul onto me

He don't breathe, he don't sleep, he don't even wash his feet
He don't breathe, he don't sleep, he don't even wash his feet

He's my man, he's my man mountain, he's my lover and dear oh to me
Oh I love him, my man mountain, Lord, delivers his soul onto me, Lord
Delivers his soul onto me, Lord, delivers his soul onto me

He don't lie, and I don't know why
He told me he loved me and that made me cry
He don't lie, and I don't know why
He told me he loved me and that made me cry

He's my man, he's my man mountain, he's my lover and dear oh to me
Oh I love him, my man mountain, Lord, delivers his soul onto me, Lord
Delivers his soul onto me, Lord, delivers his soul onto me
Delivers his soul onto me, Lord, delivers his soul onto me

Hey, I'm Rikki Dee, I work at the W.C.
From time to time, I groove just to earn my key
Meet all the skums, punks and berries, both sharp and small
Some of them stink, and there's some you don't notice at all
No no no no...
Chorus:
Rikki Dee, I'm the one at the W.C (Rikki Dee)
Work all night just to earn my key (Rikki Dee)
Get the cash right in my hand (Rikki Dee), fancy free
Rikki Dee, and I work at the W.C.
I came and scrubbed, got to make the place smell nice
But then these dudes hung around just to smoke their spice
Bring some perfume, lap into place and wipe some foam
See there are people who can't leave themselves alone
No no no no...
chorus
No no no no...
chorus
(Rikki Dee) Mister teacher for Rikki Dee (Rikki Dee)
Work all night at the W.C. (Rikki Dee)
Work all night just to earn my key (Rikki Dee), fancy free
Rikki Dee, and I work at the W.C.

Dear Lord
Little Tommy Tucker used to sing for himself
Because he never had no mommy to take care of him each day
Found a way of living, though each day it was as poisy
Thought the Lord could save him from the perils of the world
Chorus:
Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please
Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please
There's one day when Tommy met his love, her name was Mary
Said she and her mommy had some money he could have
Took him to her bedroom and proceeded to initiate
Mommy came and early caught young Tommy jack the love
Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, won't you save me please
Save me, save me, Lord, I love you, I'm on bended knees
Please rescue me, dear Lord, and plead me save
Find the way, dear Lord, for me to make money
Finally young Tommy found a way of being happy
Merry Jilly had a son with fine boys like his dad
Earned some cash to keep them save, the Lord made Tommy famous
Now he sings for everyone, gets paid like all the rest
chorus repeats 3x
