1. TOO MANY PEOPLE

Too many people going underground,
Too many reaching for a piece of cake.
Too many people pulled and pushed around,
Too many waiting for that lucky break.

That was your first mistake,
You took your lucky break and broke it in two.
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two.

Too many people sharing party lines,
Too many people ever sleeping late.
Too many people paying parking fines,
Too many hundred people losing weight.

That was your first mistake,
You took your lucky break and broke it in two.
Now what can be done for you?
You broke it in two.

Mm-mm-uh-uh.

Uh!

Too many people preaching practices,
Don't let 'em tell you what you wanna be.
Too many people holding back,
This is crazy, and baby, it's not like me.

That was your last mistake,
I find my love awake and waiting to be.
Now what can be done for you?
She's waiting for me


2. 3 LEGS

Well, when i walk, when i walk,
Walk my horse upon a hill.
Well, when i walk, walk, walk, walk,
Walk my horse upon a hill.
When i lay me down,
Will my lover love me still?

A dog is here,
A dog is there,
My dog he got three legs
But he can't run.

Well, when i thought, well, i thought,
When i thought you was my friend.
When i thought, well, i thought,
When i thought you was my friend.
But you let me down, ho,
Put my heart around the bend.

A fly flies in,
A fly flies out,
Most flies they got three legs
But mine got one.

Well, when i fly, when i fly, when i fly,
When i fly above the clouds.
Oh, when i fly, when i fly, when i fly,
When i fly above the clouds.
You can knock me down, with a feather, yes, you could,
But you know it's not allowed.

A dog is here,
A dog is there,
My dog he got three legs
But he can't run.

My dog he got three legs, your dog he got none, uh, uh, uh,
My dog he got three legs, your dog he got none,
My dog he got three legs, your dog he got none.


3. RAM ON

Ram on, give your heart to somebody,
Soon, right away, right away.
Ram on, give your heart to somebody,
Soon, right away, right away.


4. DEAR BOY

I guess you never knew, dear boy, what you have found,
I guess you never knew, dear boy,
That she was just the cutest thing around,
I guess you never knew what you have found,
Dear boy.

I guess you never knew, dear boy,
That love was there.
And maybe when you look to hard, dear boy,
You never do become aware,
I guess you never did become aware,
Dear boy.

When i stepped in, my heart was down and out,
But her love came through and brought me 'round,
Got me up and about.

Dear boy,
Dear boy, dear boy,
Dear boy.

When i stepped in, my heart was down and out,
But her love came through and brought me 'round,
Got me up and about.

I hope you never know, dear boy,
How much you missed.
And even when you fall in love, dear boy,
It won't be half as good as this.
I hope you never know how much you missed,
Dear boy, how much you missed


5. UNCLE ALBERT / ADMIRAL HALSEY

We're so sorry, uncle albert,
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain.
We're so sorry, uncle albert,
But there's no one left at home
And i believe i'm gonna rain.

We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day,
We're so sorry, uncle albert,
But if anything should happen
We'll be sure to give a ring.

"We're so sorry, uncle albert,
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day.
We're so sorry, uncle albert,
But the kettle's on the boil
And we're so eas'ly called away."

Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,
Doo-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,
Uh-uh -

Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.

Admiral halsey notified me,
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea.
I had another look and i had a cup of tea and a butter pie.

"Couldn't put it in something else
So i pulled it in the pie, alright!"

Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around.

Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around.

Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.

8. MONKBERRY MOON DELIGHT

So i sat in the attic, a piano up my nose,
And the wind played a dreadful cantata.
Sore was i from a crack of an enemy's hose
And the horrible sound of tomato.

Ketchup,
Soup and puree,
Don't get left behind.
Ketchup,
Soup and puree,
Don't get left behind.

When a rattle of rats had awoken
The sinews, the nerves and the veins.
My piano was boldly outspoken
In attempts to repeat this refrain.

So i stood with a knot in my stomach,
And i gazed at that terrible sight,
Of two young sters concealed in a barrel,
Suckin' monkberry moon delight, ho!
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight.

Oh -
Oh-oh, oh-oh.

Well, i know my banana is older than the rest
And my hair is a tangled beretta. (beretta, beretta)
But i leave my pyjamas to billy budapest,
And i don't get the gist of your letter.

Catch up,
Catch some kittens,
Don't get left behind.
Catch up,
Catch kittens,
Don't get left behind.

Oh - monkberry moon delight, yeah,
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Monkberry moon delight, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Monkberry moon delight,
Oh, monkberry moon delight,
Oh, monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight, oh-oh,
Monkberry moon delight
Suckin' monkberry moon delight,

Monkberry moon delight,

Monkberry moon delight,

Monkberry moon delight,

Ah, monkberry moon delight, yeah, yeah,

Monkberry moon delight, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh....

Uh, monkberry moon delight.

"Try some of this, honey!
"What is it?"

Monkberry moon delight, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah....
(Ooh) monkberry moon delight,
Uh, monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight,
Monkberry moon delight, ...

Or is this the only thing you want me for?

Well, i've been meaning to talk to you about it for some time,
Sweet little lass you are my long haired lady.

Who's the lady that makes that brief occasional laughter?
She's the lady who wears those flashing eyes.
Who'll be taking her home when all the dancing is over?
I'm the lucky man she will hypnotise.

Do you love me like you know you ought to do?
Well, well, well, well, well,
Or is this the only thing you want me for?

Ah, sing your song, love is long, love is long.
Win or lose it, into the soul, love is long, love is long.

Win or lose it, into the soul, love is long, yes, love is long.

12.T HE BACK SEAT OF MY CAR

Speed along the highway,
Honey, i want it my way.
But listen to her daddy's song,
Don't stay out too long.

Sitting in the back seat of my car.

Looking for a ride in and out of town,
Strolling around and all about,
Looking for a ride in and out of...

And listen to her daddy's song,
We believe that we can't be wrong, yeah!

Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
Oh-oh, we believe that we can't be wrong,
We can make it to mexico city,
Sitting in the back seat of my car.
