[Original]
In this world, where people, are fighting with each other
No one to count on
Not even your own brother
So if someone, comes along
And gives you genuine affection
Get it while you can, oooh
Better get it while you can
Get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
When you love somebody
You're taking a chance on sorrow
But who knows, baby
We may not, may not be here tomorrow
So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine protection
Get it while you can, oooh
You better get it while you can
Get it while you can
Don't turn your back on love
I wanna tell you a little bit about myself
Once I had a good woman
But I didn't count my blessings
Oh I wish she could hear me
You see, oh I've learned a bitter lesson
So if someone comes along
And gives you genuine affection
Get it while you can
You better go 'n' get it while you can, oooh
Better get it while you can
Don't turn your back on love
I wanna say it one more time, ahhh
Get it while you can
I wanna tell you tonight, you better get it while you can, oooh
Get it while you can
Don't turn your back on love
Don't turn your back on love
In this world, where people, are fighting with each other
No one to count on
Not even your own brother
So if someone, comes along
And gives you genuine affection
Get it while you can, oooh
Better get it while you can
Get it while you can
Don't you turn your back on love
When you love somebody
You're taking a chance on sorrow
But who knows, baby
We may not, may not be here tomorrow
So if someone comes along

Pack up your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' 'cross the river
Gonna wash our sins in the tide
It's all so peaceful
On the other side
Forget your troubles and just get happy
Ya better chase all your cares away
Sing Hallelujah, c'mon get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
The sun is shinin', c'mon get happy
The Lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout Hallelujah, c'mon get happy

Where the bayous wind and them gators swim
Sometime late last night when the moon was dim
Someone left this life much against his will
And while Gyp the cat was alibi-in'
You know his clothes were dryin'
Down on Bourbon street where them tourists roam
Some big financier travelin' far from home
Lost his fancy watch and his wallet too
And while to his story, Gyp was stickin'
His brand new watch kept tickin'
There's a blown out safe in the city hall
Standin' open wide, up against the wall
And though Gyp the cat has got a lot of dough
Is the money his or plot or blunder?
Gyp says,"Go and wonder"
There's a fishing fleet anchored in the bay
Everybody knows, shrimps and oysters pay
But when Gyp the cat was refused his share
Somehow nets got cut and the take was way off
Till Gyp got his payoff
The legend goes that they buried him
But nobody knows that he had a twin
And at the services everybody cried
'Ceptin' one peculiar smilin' mourner
Pickin' pockets in the corner
While they set his brother in the ground
Get the feeling, Gyp is still around
Sometime late last night when the moon was dim
Someone left this life much against his will
And while Gyp the cat was alibi-in'
You know his clothes were dryin'
Down on Bourbon street where them tourists roam
Some big financier travelin' far from home
Lost his fancy watch and his wallet too
And while to his story, Gyp was stickin'
His brand new watch kept tickin'
There's a blown out safe in the city hall
Standin' open wide, up against the wall
And though Gyp the cat has got a lot of dough

Give me the moonlight
Give me the girl
And leave the rest to me
Give me a shady nook
By a babbling brook
Where no one else can see
Give me a bench for two
Where we can bill and coo
And mine she's gonna be
If there's anyone in doubt
And they'd like to try me out
Give me the moonlight
Give me the girl
And leave the rest to me
And leave the rest to me
Give me the girl
And leave the rest to me
Give me a shady nook
By a babbling brook
Where no one else can see
Give me a bench for two
Where we can bill and coo
And mine she's gonna be
If there's anyone in doubt
And they'd like to try me out
Give me the moonlight
Give me the girl
And leave the rest to me
And leave the rest to me

I used to have a sweetheart but now I've got none
Since she's gone and left me I care not for one
Since she's gone and left me contented I'll be
For she loves another one better than me
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you
And by the next meeting I hope to prove true
And change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
I passed my love's window both early and late
The look that she gave me, made my heart ache
The look that she gave me was harmful to see
For she loves another one better than me
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you
And by the next meeting I hope to prove true
And change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
I wrote my love a letter in rosy red lines
She sent me an answer all twisted in twine
Sayin' keep your love letters and I will keep mine
Write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you
And by the next meeting I hope to prove true
And change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
Since she's gone and left me I care not for one
Since she's gone and left me contented I'll be
For she loves another one better than me
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you
And by the next meeting I hope to prove true
And change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
I passed my love's window both early and late
The look that she gave me, made my heart ache
The look that she gave me was harmful to see
For she loves another one better than me
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you
And by the next meeting I hope to prove true
And change the green lilacs to the red, white and blue
I wrote my love a letter in rosy red lines
She sent me an answer all twisted in twine
Sayin' keep your love letters and I will keep mine
Write to your sweetheart and I'll write to mine
Green grow the lilacs all sparklin' with dew
I'm lonely my darling since partin' with you
