Let's Call It Quits
You keep me straight
I'll keep you narrow
You got the magic that can chill me to the marrow
But I got something here for you that's big enough for two.
You want me sweet
I want you pretty
You got some funny lines that make you sound so witty
But I got something here for you that's big enough for two.
Chorus
Let's call it quits
Let's call it quits
Before we break one another into bits
Let's call a tie
Let's call a tie
Before we make one another start to cry.
You got the why
I got the wherefore
You got me trapped hook, line and sinker and so therefore
I still got something here that's big enough for two.
Pack Up Your Troubles
Somewhere down in the city
There's a mad dog madder
Somewhere out in the sticks
There's a sad cat sadder
But you ain't gotta let it get on top of you
No you ain't gonna let it get a hold
You gotta get outa that rut before you get old.
Somewhere over the sun
There's a bebop hummin'
Somewhere down at the station
There's a freedom train a comin'
Can you hear that chugga luggin'
Better get on board
Get out of the wind and the cold
You gotta get outa that rut before you get old.
Chorus
So pack up your troubles
Go head for the hills
Leave all your worries behind
Pack up your liquor and your cigarettes and your pills
And go catch a fish on the line.
Somewhere up in the sky
There's a big big dadda
Sometime you'll have to climb
Up a dangerous ladder
But there ain't such a word as impossible
And there's always the never ending dream
And things ain't never as bad as they might seem.
Chorus
Somewhere on the horizon
There's a deep hole waitin'
No one, no one at all is ever gonna get away
You gotta reach out and touch the impossible
And never let it get a hold
You better get out that rut before you get old.
Chorus
So pack up your troubles
Go head for the hills
Leave all your worries behind
And everything you're ever gonna do is gonna work out fine
So catch a fish on the line.
In For A Penny
Do you remember the night in September
The two of us laid in the hay.
Do you remember the day in December
And how we got carried away.
Chorus
If you're in for a penny you gotta be in for a pound
Cos over and over you played me that old fashioned sound
Look around
Did you discover that ooh I'm a lover
When we took a tumble or two
Were you surprised when you tried me for size
You'd bit off more than you could chew.
If you're in for a penny you gotta be in for a pound
Cos over and over you played me that old fashioned sound
So look around
Play the refrain, play it an' play it an' play it again.
Oh Do you remember the night I surrendered
You wanted to paint me in oils
Ooh you were tender, well do you remember
The sleepers could hear me for miles.
If you're in for a penny you gotta be in for a pound
Cos over and over you played me that old fashioned sound
So look around
Play the refrain, play it an' play it an' play it again.
Get On Up
I don't wanna get rough babe
Don't wanna knock you outa your shoes
Make me feel like a man if you can
You know you ain't got nothing to lose.
I don't wanna get mean babe
So let's start finding out how you tick
Make me feel like a beautiful dream
Exploding like a dynamite stick.
Chorus
So get on up, get on up
Make me feel real tight
So get on up, get on up
Make me feel alright.
I don't wanna get tough babe
So lemme take just a peck at your neck
Make me feel like a lovin' machine
I'm ready now so what the heck.
Chorus
L.A. Jinx
The Jynx
Hooray!
The Demon's had his day
The voodoo's had its say
They all been washed away
Hurrah!
There comes my shining star
I'll keep it in a jar
The trumpets play too-rah
Chorus
'Cause the L.A. Jynx is all over
And now I found me a four leaf clover
I got myself a rabbit's paw
And a horseshoe over my door
'Cause the L.A. Jynx is all over
And now I found me a four leaf clover
I got myself a lucky charm
And there ain't nothin' gonna do me no harm
Ya-hoo!
At last the spell is through
There's no more witch's brew
The gremlin's had his stew
Yipee!
Hooray and golly gee
Here comes that winning key
The key to set me free
No!
Hooray!
The Demon's had his day
The voodoo's had it's say
They all been washed away
Did Ya Mama Ever Tell Ya
There was a crooked man
And he walked a crooked mile
He had a crooked stick
And oh boy it cramped his style
Did ya MaMa ever tell ya
All them kookie little nursery rhymes.
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Supposed to get some water
They stayed up there a long time
Doin' what they shouldn't oughta
Did ya MaMa ever tell ya
All them funky little nursery rhymes
And when you got a little older
Did you learn to read between the lines.
Chorus
Did ya MaMa ever tell ya
About the A B's and C's
Did she ever tell ya
'Bout the birds and the bees
Did ya MaMa ever tell ya
You were brought by the stork
And how you could run before you could walk.
Mary had a little lamb
His feet were black as coal
He even followed her to bed
The naughty little soul
Did ya MaMa ever tell ya
All them kookie little nursery rhymes.
Little Jacky Horner
Sitting quiet in his corner
How'd he get that name
Doin' what he shouldn't oughta
Did ya MaMa ever tell ya
All them funky little nursery rhymes
And when you got a little older
Did you learn to read between the lines.
How about that olde lady
Who was living in a shoe
She had so many children
She knew how and what to do
Did ya MaMa ever tell ya
All them funky little nursery rhymes.
Scratch My Back
How long can you go
Oh can you go a dozen times
How long can you smile
Oh can you smile a dozen smiles
Cos everyway holds something that's nice
Try it once and then you'll try it twice.
Chorus
Oh Mercy Mercy
Oh lawdy lawdy
I'll scratch your back if you'll just scratch mine
Cos when I'm outa sight
Then I'm outa mind
Oh mercy mercy do it over and over again
Oh lawdy lawdy.
How long will it last
It's getting harder off the cuff
How long does it take
There must be someone with enough
Cos everytime holds something that's better
Go on get on up and forget the letter.
Chorus
Oh Mercy Mercy Mercy
Scratch my back just a little bit higher
How much do you need
What does it take to get you off
No one's ever made it
Are you tryin' to make me laugh
Cos until now you bin and tryed all the rest
So now's the time you gotta try out the best.
Chorus
I'm A Talker
Throw another log on the fire
Fill another glass with desire
Thank the Lord
If you're bored
I've run out of stories to tell
Time for bed
How's your head
I must say you look very well.
Chorus
I'm a talker
I'm a teller
I'm an army
I'm a one
I'm a speaker
I'm a spoker
And my star sign
Is a two sided son
Now I'm one. (Two in one).
Throw another smoke around the room
Guess I'm gonna pass pretty soon
Thank the Lord
That we scored
I feel like I've known you so long
One last drop
Then we'll stop
I'm happy that you came along.
Chorus
A little bit of music everyday
Is bound to take your blues all away
Thank the Lord
If you're bored
I feel like I've known you for years
One last drop
Then we'll stop
Here's to your health I'll say cheers.
Chorus
All The World Is A Stage
You are the eyes of the reader
I am the hand of the writer
Together we can fill up a page.
You are the ears of the listener
I am the voice of the picture
Together we can act out the age.
Chorus
All the world is a stage
All the people are players
Turn on the spotlight its yours
All the world is a stage
All the people are players
Ring up the curtain. Applause
One thing's for certain. Its yours.
You are the sense of occasion
Mine is a standing ovation
Your pleasure is only at your command
You are to set the example
I am the one to portray it
To measure the storm that follows the calm.
Chorus
The start and end to every story is the same
But what comes in between you have yourself to blame
It makes no difference at all
Just pick yourself up when you fall.
You are the eyes of the reader
I am the hand of the writer
Together we can fill up a page.
You are the brain of the thinker
I am the face of expression
Together we can act out the age.
Chorus
