[No lyrics]

I left Atlanta, Georgia,
Interstate 65.
I'm headin' out to California,
Doin' 'bout a hundred and five.
Makin' good time, makin' good time, makin' good time.

I heard about the girls in Dallas,
Give you good love every day.
Now, I heard about the girls in New Orleans,
And that's why I'm on my way.
Makin' good time, makin' good time, yeah, makin' good time, baby.

Now if these old wheels don't make it,
If I don't make Santa Fe,
I'm gonna hitch-hike a ride by a motorcycle comin', yeah,
I'm gonna make it any way. 'Cause I'm
Makin' good time, makin' good time, yeah, feelin' so fine.

Makin' good time, makin' good time, makin' good time.

C'mon, everyone, we got to get together now
Oh, yeah, love's the only thing that matters anyhow
And the beauty of life
Can only survive
If we love one another

Oh, yeah, yesterday my friends were marching out to war
Oh, yeah, listen, now, we ain't a-marching anymore
No, we ain't gonna fight
Only God has the right
To decide who's to live and die

He gave us sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
(All day and night)
And everybody's gonna feel so fine
Drinking sweet cherry wine
Yes, they will

Watch the mountain turn to dust and blow away
Oh, Lord, you know there's got to be a better way
And the old masquerade
Is a no soul parade
Marchin' through the ruins of time

To save us, he gave us
Sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
Everybody's gonna feel so fine
Drinking sweet cherry wine

Oh, sweet cherry wine
So very fine
We'll drink it right down
Pass it all around
So stimulating, so intoxicating
Sweet cherry wine
C'mon, drink it with your brother
Trust in one another
Yeah, yeah
We need each other
Sweet cherry wine
Drink it right down
Pass it all around
People, don't you know
The cup is running over?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
Oh
Come on
Come on
Hey (Sweet)
Ooh
Ooh

It takes a loved one, loved one, someone like you, babe
To make a loved one, loved one, and I do; I love you.

Ain't no place I'd rather be,
Nothing means that much to me.
Ain't no place I haven't been,
A trip to nowhere and back again.
Suddenly, there was a young girl.
She reached right out and took my mind.
She said, "If you want to get love, you've got to give some."
Yeah, it takes a loved one, loved one, someone like you, babe
To make a loved one, loved one, and I do; I love you.
Oh, yes I do.

Without love, a man's a stone,
Cold and grey, stand alone;
Two can make it twice as strong.
Listen, you want to get love, you've got to give some.
It takes a loved one, loved one, someone like you, babe
To make a loved one, loved one, and I do; I love you.
Oh, yeah.

It takes a loved one.
repeat until fade out

Ah, here's to the man who's got no name,
Just a face in the crowd, looking just the same to me.
Everywhere I go, I know who I am.

Now, here's to the man who smiles at me,
As he shakes my hand so vigorously.
He can't figure me out if I'm "A," or "B," or "C."
"D," none of these; "E," all of the above are correct.
Do not mark on the test booklet!

Ah, here's to the man in the polka-dot necktie,
Don't quite understand, ah, but what the heck, I
Don't give a damn 'cause I know who I am.
My little water chickadee, yes.

Universal facts apply or philosophy, now
And if you need a heart transplant, I'm definitely the man to see.

Ah, here's to the girl who loved them all
And I found her number on the bathroom wall
And it said I could call anytime after 6 P.M.
Man, was she ugly!

Ah, here's to the guy who's got chapped lips
From eating too many potato chips
And I cracked up when he smiled at me and almost bled to death.
Yes, I know who I am. Yes, I know who I am.
Now, before we bring out the crippled monkeys here on our show.
Yes, I know who I am.
You better not go for your gun, kid, or I'll shoot you where you sit.
Yes, I know who I am. Yes, I know who I am.

On behalf of the entire staff and management,
We'd like to present you with this token of our esteem.
On behalf of the entire staff and management,
We really feel that you deserve this
After twenty-five years of service to the company.

A golden watch, it isn't much for your loyalty.
But after all, it's the least that we could do.
On behalf of the entire staff and management,
We really feel that you deserve this
After twenty-five years of service to the company.

On the back you'll find the words we want to say,
"Thank you, Mister What's-your-name
For nine thousand one hundred twenty-five days of your life."

For he's a jolly good fellow, for he's a jolly good fellow,
For he's a jolly good fellow, which nobody can deny.
