Birds do it, bees do it Even educated fleas do it Let's do it, let's fall in love In Spain, the best upper sets do it Lithuanians and Letts do it Let's do it, let's fall in love The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it Not to mention the Finns Folks in Siam do it - think of Siamese twins Some Argentines, without means, do it People say in Boston even beans do it Let's do it, let's fall in love Sponges, they say, do it Oysters down in Oyster Bay do it Let's do it, let's fall in love Cold Cape Cod clams, 'gainst their wish, do it Even lazy jellyfish, do it Let's do it, let's fall in love Electric eels I might add do it Though it shocks them I know Why ask if shad do it - Waiter bring me "shad roe" In shallow shoals English soles do it Goldfish in privacy of bowls do it Let's do it, let's fall in love

Sympathique 02:54
Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre Les chasseurs à ma porte Comme les p'tits soldats Qui veulent me prendre Je ne veux pas travailler Je ne veux pas déjeuner Je veux seulement l'oublier Et puis je fume Déjà j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour Un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant Mais une seule fleur dans mes entourages Me rend malade Je ne veux pas travailler Je ne veux pas déjeuner Je veux seulement l'oublier Et puis je fume Je ne suis pas fière de ça Vie qui veut me tuer C'est magnifique être Sympathique Mais je ne le connais jamais Je ne veux pas travailler Je ne veux pas déjeuner Je veux seulement l'oublier Et puis je fume Je ne suis pas fière de ça Vie qui veut me tuer C'est magnifique être Sympathique Mais je ne le connais jamais Je ne veux pas travailler Je ne veux pas déjeuner Je veux seulement l'oublier Et puis je fume

The tax man's taken all my dough, And left me in my stately home, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I can't sail my yacht, He's taken everything 'Ive got, All 'Ive got's this sunny afternoon. Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime My girlfriend's run off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa, Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. Now I'm sitting here, Sipping on my ice cold beer, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. Help me, help me, help me get away, Give me two good reasons why I ought to stay. 'Cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime

Things have come to a pretty pass, Our romance is growing flat, For you like this and the other While I go for this and that. Goodness knows what the end will be; Oh, I don't know where I'm at... It's plain to see we two will never make one, Something must be done. You say either and I say either, You say neither and I say neither; Either, either, neither, neither, Let's call the whole thing off! You like potato and I like potato, You like tomato and I like tomato; Potato, potato, tomato, tomato! Let's call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, Then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, Then that might break my heart! So, if you like pajamas and I like pajamas, We'll wear pajamas and take off our pajamas For we know we need each other, So we better call the calling off off. Let's call the whole thing off! You say laughter and I say laughter, You say after and I say after; Laughter, laughter, after, after, Let's call the whole thing off! You like Havanah, and I like Havanah You like banana, and I like banana Havanah, Havanah, banana, banana Let's call the whole thing off! But oh! If we call the whole thing off, Then we must part. And oh! If we ever part, Then that might break my heart! So, if you go for oysters and I go for oysters I'll order oysters and cancel my oysters. For we know we need each other, So we better call the calling off off! Let's call the whole thing off!

Toxicity 04:09
Conversion software version seven point o Looking at life through the eyes of a tired hub Eating seeds as a pastime activity The toxicity of our city, of our city Now, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder? Now somewhere between the sacred silence Sacred silence and sleep Somewhere, between the sacred silence and sleep Disorder, disorder, disorder More wood for the fires, loud neighbors Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck Eating seeds as a pastime activity The toxicity of our city, of our city Now, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder, disorder? Now somewhere between the sacred silence Sacred silence and sleep Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep Disorder, disorder, disorder

A buzzard took a monkey for a ride in the air The monkey thought that everything was on the square The buzzard tried to throw the monkey off of his back But the monkey grabbed his neck and said: "Now listen, Jack Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top. Ain't no use in divin' . What's the use of jivin'? Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top." The buzzard told the monkey "You are chokin' me Release your hold and I will set you free." The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said "Your story's really touching but it sounds like a lie. Straighten up and fly right Straighten up and stay right Straighten up and fly right Cool down, papa, don't you blow your top.

Of all the boys I've known and I've known some Until I first met you I was lonesome And when you came in sight, dear my heart grew light And this whole world seemed new to me You're really swell, I have to admit you Deserve expressions that really fit you And so I've racked my brain, hoping to explain All the things that you do to me Bei Mir Bist Du Shein, please let me explain Bei Mir Bist Du Shein, means you're grand Bei Mir Bist Du Shein, again I'll explain It means you're the fairest in the land I could say bella bella, even say wunderbar Each language only helps me tell you how great you are I've tried to explain, Bei Mir Bist Du Shein So kiss me and say you understand

The world is a vampire, sent to drain Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames And what do I get, for my pain? Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game Even though I know - I suppose I'll show All my cool and cold - like old job Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal But can you fake it, for just one more show? And what do you want? I want to change And what have you got, when you feel the same? Even though I know - I suppose I'll show All my cool and cold - like old job Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Tell me I'm the only one Tell me there's no other one Jesus was the only son, yeah. Tell me I'm the chosen one Jesus was the only son for you Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage And someone will say what is lost can never be saved Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a- Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a- Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage Tell me I'm the only one Tell me there's no other one Jesus was the only son for you And I still believe that I cannot be saved

I want a Sunday kind of love A love to last past Saturday night And I’d like to know It’s more than love at first sight And I want a Sunday kind of love I want a, a love that’s on the square Can’t seem to find somebody Someone to care And I’m on a lonely road That leads to nowhere I need a Sunday kind of love I do my Sunday dreaming, oh yeah And all my Sunday scheming Every minute, every hour, every day Oh, I’m hoping to discover A certain kind of lover Who will show me the way And my arms need someone Someone to enfold To keep me warm when Mondays and Tuesdays grow cold Love for all my life to have and to hold Oh and I want a Sunday kind of love I don’t want a Monday, not a Tuesday, not a Wednesday Or Thursday, Friday or Saturday Oh nothing but Sunday, I want a Sunday Sunday I want a Sunday kind of love, Sunday kind of love

Sittin' in the morning sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes Watching the ships roll in And then I watch 'em roll away again I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time I left my home in Georgia Headed for the 'Frisco bay 'Cause I've had nothing to live for And look like nothing's gonna come my way So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything just remains the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do So I guess I'll just remain the same Sittin' here resting my bones And this loneliness won't leave me alone It's been two thousand miles I've roamed Just to make this dock my home Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay Watching the tide roll away Sittin' on the dock of the bay Wasting time

At first I was afraid, I was petrified, Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights Thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong I learned how to get along And now you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I've known for just one second you'd back to bother me Go on now, go walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive, Hey hey It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh so many nights Just feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry But now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you And so you thought you'd just drop by And you'd expect me to be free But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me Go on now go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive, hey hey
