Green, green forty shades of green
I close my eyes and picture, the emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle, to the shores of Dunardee
I miss the river Shannon, and the folks at Skibbereen
The moorlands and the midlands, with their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl, in Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips, as soft as eiderdown
Again I want to see and do, the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar And there's forty shades of green
Green, green, forty shades of green
I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin's churching surf
I'd love to watch the farmers, drain the bogs and spade the turf
To see again the thatching, of the straw the women glean
I'd walk from Cork to Larne to see
The forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl, in Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips, as soft as eiderdown
Again I want to see and do, the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar And there's forty shades of green
I close my eyes and picture, the emerald of the sea
From the fishing boats at Dingle, to the shores of Dunardee
I miss the river Shannon, and the folks at Skibbereen
The moorlands and the midlands, with their forty shades of green
But most of all I miss a girl, in Tipperary town
And most of all I miss her lips, as soft as eiderdown
Again I want to see and do, the things we've done and seen
Where the breeze is sweet as Shalimar And there's forty shades of green
Green, green, forty shades of green
I wish that I could spend an hour at Dublin's churching surf
I'd love to watch the farmers, drain the bogs and spade the turf
To see again the thatching, of the straw the women glean

Someday when I'm over you
And when I think I'm able to
Well, I might try to be
Your friend again
But your restless heart
And rovin' eyes
My jealousy, these endless fights
I've got to get out of your life
Or I will never mend
I guess I'll die a bit each day
But I'm always dying anyway
And I don't have the heart to
Stay, and I can't take the pain
I know we've tried to no avail
Our heaven now has
Turned to hell
The same old hurt
We know so well
And something's got
To change
We both know it's got to end
The passion's gone
It's just pretend
And one of us have got
To make the move
We might as well just give it up
We've lost respect and
There's no trust
And without this, there's
No real love
It's just some sad excuse
I guess I'll die a bit each day
But I'm always dying anyway
And there's nothing left but walk away
Ain't this a crying shame
A change of pace
A change of heart
A change of place
A place to start
And we'll be better off apart
Our only chance is change
And we never will
But something has to change
But someday when I'm over you
And when I think I'm able to
Then I will try to be your friend again
But I don't want to see
Your face 'til then
Change
I need a change, a change
We need a change
And when I think I'm able to

You give your hand to me and then you say hello
And I can hardly speak my heart is beating so
And anyone could tell, you think you know me well
But you don't know me
No you don't know the one, who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips, and longs to hold you tight
To you I'm just a friend, that's all I've ever been
No you don't know me
For I never knew the art of making love
Though my heart ached with the love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance you might have loved me too
You gave your hand to me, and then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away, beside a lucky guy
To never never know the one who loves you so
No you don't know me
You gave your hand to me, and then you say goodbye

T'was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two
Tears on my pillow
Pain in my heart
Caused by you
If we could start anew
I wouldn't hesitate
I'd gladly take you back
And tempt the hand of fate
Love is not a gadget
Love is not a toy
When you find the one you love
She'll fill your heart with joy
But I remember you
T'was not so long ago
You broke my heart in two

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom, for me and for you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue, and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of a rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces, of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, sayin how do you do?
They're really sayin, I love you
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh yes
I see them bloom, for me and for you

When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man
I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in a jam
In my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone
You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!
If I don't start cryin' it's because that I have got no eyes
My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized
Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way
Trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go
Oop-ip-ip oop-ip-ip, yeah!

SPOKEN: It was a moonlit night in old Mexico. I walked alone between some old
adobe haciendas. Suddenly, I heard the plaintive cry of a young Mexican girl.
You better come home, Speedy Gonzales
Away from tannery row
Stop alla your a-drinkin'
With that floozie named Flo
Come on home to your adobe
And slap some mud on the wall
The roof is leakin' like a strainer
There's loadsa roaches in the hall
Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?
SPOKEN in a male Mexican accent: "Hey, Rosita-I hafta go shopping downtown
for my mudder-she needs some tortillas and chili peppers."
Your doggy's gonna have a puppy
And we're runnin' outta coke
No enchiladas in the icebox
And the television's broke
I saw some lipstick on your sweatshirt
I smelled some perfume in your ear
Well if you're gonna keep on messin'
Don't bring your business back a-here
Mmm, Speedy Gonzales, why dontcha come home?
Speedy Gonzales, how come ya leave me all alone?
SPOKEN in a male Mexican accent: "Hey, Rosita-come queek-down at the cantina

Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas

Well I'm feeling mighty fine

Well I'm feeling mighty fine

Well I want to kiss you baby
While you're standing beneath the mistletoe
Saint Nick came down the chimney, about a half past three
Left all these pretty presents that you see before me
Merry Christmas pretty baby, you sure been good to me
Well I haven't had a drink this morning, but I'm all lit up like a Christmas tree
