The camel wore a nightie...
At the party of special things to do

When the stiff wind blows
The flag don't wiggle
In the party of special things to do

I met the Ace of Love
She took me to her plantation
For love without separation
In the party of special things to do
I could happen to me
It could happen to you

I met the Ace of Love
She said I want you to go
To a party of special things to do
And when you're through
I'll be right here waiting for you
Here take these sparks
So that my distant cousins can get along with you
Watch out for the Mirror Man
And Elixir Sue

Spoken: When I got to the party of special things to do it wasn't hard
to find Elixir Sue. I met all the cars, the wild cards, the One-Eye
Jills, the Red Queen. She turned her head, you know what I mean, she
turned it back and said, "I got a brand new game I want to lay on
you..."

I met them all
At the party of special things to do
When I was done
I was far from through
I returned to the Ace of Love
Now wouldn't you?

I met them all
I met them all
I met them all
At the party of special things to do
The camel wore a nightie
At the party of special things to do. . .

Same Old Blues

[No lyrics]

While the city was busy we wanted to rest
She decided to drive up to observatory crest
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
We went on a ride, we got outside
The sand was hot, she wanted to dance

We went round and round in observatory crest
Thought we'd saw flying saucers and all of the rest
from observatory crest

While the city was busy we wanted to rest
She decided to drive up to observatory crest
We'd just saw a concert and heard all the best
So the only thing to do
Was to drive up
And watch the city
From observatory crest

. . .


There's an avenue where the silhouettes dance
There's an avenue where the silhouettes dance
And the sun there shines down
Day and night

Nobody looks there
Everybody knows there
Good times grow there
Come on, baby, let's go there
Where?
Pompadour Swamp

Fun never waits there
It starts at the gate there
Pompadour Swamp
Don't you be late there
Just get there
Pompadour Swamp
Pompadour Swamp

Wafer-thin shadows dance in nostalgic meadows
Ya, dance there

Fun never waits there
It starts at the gate there
Pompadour Swamp
Don't you be late there
Just get there
Pompadour Swamp
Pompadour Swamp

There's an avenue where the silhouettes dance
There's a lane there where they dance
And the sun shines day and night there
All you got to do is get down there
Pompadour Swamp
Pompadour Swamp . . .

Captain's Holiday

[No lyrics]

Rock 'n Roll's evil doll
Here she comes down the hall
Her eyes are flashing
She's looking big, I'm feeling small

Rock 'n Roll's evil doll
Rock 'n Roll's evil doll
Rock 'n Roll's evil doll
The writing's on the wall

She's coming up on me
Getting bigger as she gets near to me
Rock 'n Roll's evil doll
Rock 'n Roll's evil doll

Feel like running
But I don't want to fall
She's so big
I'm so small
I heard the door slam
And I ran down rock 'n roll's rainbow hall

Rock 'n Roll's evil doll
Here she comes down the hall
Her eyes are flashing
She's looking big, I'm feeling small

Rock 'n Roll's evil doll
Rock 'n Roll's evil doll

Feel like running
But I don't want to fall
She's so big
I'm so small
I heard the door slam
And I ran down rock 'n roll's evil hall

Rock 'n Roll's evil doll
Rock 'n Roll's evil doll . . .

She's so big
I'm getting big, too
She's looking small
She's looking big
I'm getting big, too!

Further Than We've Gone

[No lyrics]

Twist ah luck that made you mine
A stitch in time, your path crossed mine
You're the reason, love's the rhyme
It's genuine

Now you're takin' up all my time
When we're apart you're on my mind
Thinkin' about you all the time
Thinkin' about you all the time

Got my heart and me beatin' overtime
Got my heart and me beatin' overtime
Thinkin' about you all the time
Thinkin' about you all the time

I'm glad I played the game I played
And I paid this heart of mine
When we met I lost the bet
And I lost this heart of mine

Twist ah luck that made you mine
A stitch in time, your path crossed mine
You're the reason, love's the rhyme
It's genuine

Thinkin' about you all the time
Thinkin' about you all the time

I been hopin' on Mondays
Some how's and Moondays
Sunday's and Some days
Never seeing some days
I'm tryin' in all ways
And learnin' in between

Blue jeans and Moonbeams
Blue jeans and Moonbeams

I been working up in lovin'
Underneath the moonstone sky
I know there's many things I've never seen

Blue jeans and Moonbeams
Mondays and Moonbeams
Blue jeans and Moonbeams
Blue jeans and Moonbeams

I been hopin' on Mondays
Some how's and Moondays
Sunday's and Some days
Never seeing some days
I'm tryin in all ways
And learnin' in between

Blue jeans and Moonbeams
Blue jeans and Moonbeams

I been working up in lovin'
Underneath the moonstone sky
I know there's many things I've never seen

Blue jeans and Moonbeams
Mondays and Moonbeams
Blue jeans and Moonbeams
Mondays and Moonbeams
