Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again
Sing them out again

Song sung blue
Weeping like a willow
Song sung blue
Sleeping on my pillow

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good
You simply got no choice

[break]

Me and you are subject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out again

Song sung blue
Everybody knows one
Song sung blue
Every garden grows one

Funny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And before you know, start to feeling good

Porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Vanilla soup, a double scoop please
No, maybe I want, maybe I won't, maybe I will
The tutti fruit
With fruity blue cheese

Ah, but porcupine pie,
Porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Don't let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
But you got to eat it with gloves
Or your hands will turn green

[Instrumental]

Ah, but porcupine pie,
Porcupine pie, porcupine pie
It weaves its way through my dreams
And I do believe
I'm gonna get one
And leave enough room for dessert
Chicken ripple ice cream

Roll 'em in the morning
Roll without no warning
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn
You know that he could
And he would, yeah
He's a high rollin' man
In a high rollin' neighborhood

Sing it
Roll 'em, roll 'em,
C'mon roll 'em
Roll 'em, roll 'em,
C'mon roll 'em
Don't do much good
But good Lord, he could roll 'em

Lord, he was a dreamer
Hardly worth redeeming
Hot damn, hot damn, hot damn
You know that he was
Lord, he was
Lyrics
But when it comes to his thumbs
Ain't a man who can do what he does

Hear it
Roll 'em, roll 'em,
C'mon roll 'em,
Roll 'em, roll 'em,
C'mon roll 'em
Don't do much good,
But good Lord, he could roll 'em

Roll 'em, roll 'em,
C'mon roll 'em,
Roll 'em, roll 'em,
C'mon roll 'em
Don't do much good,
But good Lord, he could roll 'em

Roll 'em, roll 'em,
C'mon roll 'em,
Roll 'em, roll 'em,
C'mon roll 'em
Don't do much good,
But good Lord, he could roll 'em

Canta libre, Canta vida,
De mi madre,
Y mi padre

Canta mi corazon,
Para los ninos,
Y sus ninos, Canta libre

I got music running in my head
Makes me feel like a young bird flying
'Cross my mind and layin' in my bed
Keeps me away from the thought of dyin'

Canta libre, Canta vida,
De mi madre
Y mi padre

I got music runnin' in my brain
Ev'ry song with it's own kind of meaning
Cleanse the soul and wash away the pain
Baptized by the song that you're singing
Lyrics
Canta libre, Canta la vida
Siempre conmigo,
Canta libre

Canta libre,
Canta la vida

Canta mi corazon
Para los ninos
Y sus ninos
Canta libre
De mi madre
Y mi padre
Canta libre
Cante Libre

Captain Sunshine
Make me drink wine
Make me feel fine
When I'm feelin' wrongly down

He don't take much
He don't make much
But ah, to be such a man as he
And walk so pure
Between the earth and the sea

Captain Sunshine,
He do me fine
Make the words rhyme
When he knows the tune is sad

He don't take much
Lordy, he don't make much
But ah, to be such a man as he
And walk so pure
Between the earth and the sea

[Instrumental]

He don't take much
He don't make much
But ah, to be such a man as he
And walk so pure
Between the earth and the sea

She was morning
And I was night time
I one day woke up
To find her lying
Beside my bed
I softly said
"Come take me"

For I've been lonely
In need of someone
As though I'd done
Someone wrong somewhere
I don't know where
Come lately

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

Song she sang to me
Song she brang to me
Words that rang in me
Rhyme that sprang from me
Warmed the night
And what was right
Became me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the words
I am the tune
Play me

And so it was
That I came to travel
Upon a road
That was thorned and narrow
Another place
Another grace
Would save me

You are the sun
I am the moon
You are the word
I am the tune
Play me

Gitchy Goomy, gitchy gaddy
Sit you laddie down on your daddy's knee
And ain't it a nice place to be

Goggin noggin, papa's rockin'
Like a mockin' bird in a windy tree
And that ain't no place for me

Been there one time, been there two times
Been there three times
More than I care to be
But we're gonna make it through
Gitchy Goomy

Life is good, life is fine, life is warm
Life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right
Keeps you warm late at night
When you need it

Baby boy, daddy's joy, life's a toy
LyricsBut you don't wanna break it
Like a sweet symphony,
All you need is the key, you can play it

Gitchy Goomy, gitchy gaddy
Sit you laddie down while I have my say
Now don't be runnin' away

Goggin noggin, papa's talkin'
Don't go walkin' off like you mean to play
Well, you can have it your way

Been there one time, been there two times
Been there three times
More than I care to say
But you're gonna be okay,
Gitchy Goomy

Life is good, life is fine, life is warm
Life is kind, can you see it?
Love is great, love is right
Keeps you warm late at night
When you need it

Baby boy, daddy's joy, life's a toy
But you don't wanna break it
Like a sweet symphony,
All you need is the key, you can play it

Been there one time, been there two times
Been there three times
More than I care to be

Seen it one time, seen it two times
Seen it three times,
Lord 'n' it's plain to see
Ah, you gonna make it through
Gitchy Goomy

You 'n me gonna make it through
Gitchy Goomy
Ah, you gonna make it through
Gitchy Goomy

Walk on water, ain't it like her
She leads the children
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right

And ain't it wond'rous,
The way she does it
Gives love and loves it
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right

Light de light, we got mornin',
Mornin' makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away

Light de light, we got de mornin',
Mornin' makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away

Light de light, we got mornin',
Mornin' makes another day
Glory sight, got de dawnin'
Lordy, light the night away

She walks on water,
Ah, ain't it like her
She leads the children
Ain't it right, ain't it right, ain't it right

Prelude In E Major

[No lyrics]

. . .


Morningside, the old man died.
And no one cried, they simply turned away.
And when he died,
He left a table filled with nails and pride.
And with his hands he carved these words inside:
"For my children"

Morning light, morning bright.
I spent the night with dreams that make you weep.
Morning time,
Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine,
For I recall the words an old man signed:
"For my children"

And the legs were shaped with his hands,
And the table made with oaken wood.
And the children that sat around this great table,
Touched it with their laughter, and that was good.

Morningside, the old man died.
And no one cried, he surely died alone.
And truth is sad,
For not a child would claim the gift he had.
The words he carved became his epitaph......
"For my children"
