I got a woman
Mean as she can be
I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
A black cat up and died of fright
Cause she crossed his path last night
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
She kiss so hard, she bruise my lips
Hurts so good, my heart just flips
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
The strangest gal I ever had
Never happy unless she's mad
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
She makes love without a smile
Ooh, hot dog it drives me wild
Oh, I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
Sometimes I think
She's almost mean as me
Mean as she can be
I got a woman
Mean as she can be
Sometimes I think

A black cat up and died of fright
Cause she crossed his path last night
Oh, I got a woman

I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!
I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This Carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?
Will true love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?

Standin' on the corner
Not doin' nothin' to no one
When a squad car stops
And out jump cops
You one of them, if I ever saw one
Wonder what I said
As my face turned red
Up against the wall, says the tall one
That's a cute mustache
Have ya got any hash?
I'd like to make a buy, says the small one
Now da whole thing's silly
But I'm starin' at the billy
Quietly askin' myself now will he
Use that thing
To make my eardrums ring
It's all a bad dream
And I'm in South Philly
Now tell 'em, Mr. Hohner
Me and Mr. Hohner
In Yuma, Arizona
Tryin' to hitch a ride to Denver
Well, out of a toll
Comes the highway patrol
To check up on my gender
Is it her or him
Or maybe Tiny Tim?
Now up against the fence, says the dense one
You have picked a bad spot
To smoke your pot
Whatcha gonna do two against one?
Now da whole thing's silly
But I'm starin' at the billy
Quietly askin' myself now will he
Use that thing
To make my eardrums ring
It's all a bad dream
And I'm in South Philly
Now tell 'em, Mr. Hohner
Me and Mr. Hohner
Relaxin' out at Kona
Hawaiian sun can be groovy
When a pair of MPs
Yell out, freeze!
And I think I gotta part in a movie
Hey! I'm talkin' to you
Tell me what did I do?
You're a draft card burner, says the thin one
We can tell by your looks
That you read too many books of wars
And that's because ya ain't been in one
Now the whole thing's silly
But I'm starin' at the billy
Quietly askin' myself now will he

My death waits like an old roue'
So confident, I'll go his way
Whistle for him and the passing time
My death waits like a Bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
We plowed for that and the passing time?
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as our love is right
Let's laugh for us and the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door there is you
My death waits like a beggar blind
Who sees the world with an unlit mind
Throw him a dime for the passing time
My death waits to allow my friends
A few good times before it ends
Let's drink to that and the passing time
My death waits in your arms, your thighs
Your cool fingers will close my eyes
Let's not talk about the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door there is you
My death waits among falling leaves
In magician's mysterious sleeves
Rabbits, dogs and the passing time
My death waits among the flowers
Where that blackest shadow cowers
Let's pick lilacs for the passing time
My death waits in a double bed
Sails of oblivion at my head
Pull up the sheets against the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door there is you
So confident, I'll go his way
Whistle for him and the passing time
My death waits like a Bible truth
At the funeral of my youth
We plowed for that and the passing time?
My death waits like a witch at night
As surely as our love is right
Let's laugh for us and the passing time
But whatever is behind the door
There is nothing much to do

When you see, a gentleman bee
Around a lady bee buzzin'
Just count to ten, then, count again
There's sure to be an even dozen!
Multiplication, that's the name of the game!
And each generation, it's played the same!
Now, there was two butterflies, castin' their eyes
Both in the same direction
You'd never guess. that one little "yes"
Could start a butterfly collection!
Multiplication, that's the name of the game!
And each generation, it's played the same!
Let me tell ya now: I say one and one is five
You can call me a silly goat!
But, ya take two minks, add two winks
Ah' ya got one mink coat!
When a girl gets coy, in front of a boy
After three or four dances
Ah you can just bet, she'll play hard to get
To multiply her chances!
Multiplication, that's the name of the game!
And each generation, it's played the same!
Hear me talkin' to ya: Mother Nature is a clever girl
She reli-es on habit!
Ya take two hares, with no cares
Pretty soon you got a room full of rabbits!
Two parakeets, in-between tweets
Sometimes get too quiet
Uh-oh! But have no fear, 'cause soon you'll hear
A parakeet's riot, just try it!

To be with you is what I want more than anything
But I must share my life with the one who wears my ring
And there are tiny faces I look into each night
I love you but my hands are tied
I know how much they need you and dear I understand
I know you'll never leave them cause you're not that kind of man
But I can't control my feelings though heaven knows I tried
And I love you but my hands are tied
My hands are tied and I can't break the ties that bind
I love you more than life but you never will be mine
I know how much you want me I can see it in your eyes
And I love you but my hands are tied
My hands are tied and I can't break the ties that bind
I love you more than life but you never will be mine
I know how much you want me I can see it in your eyes
And I love you but my hands are tied
Yes I love you but my hands are tied
But I must share my life with the one who wears my ring
And there are tiny faces I look into each night
I love you but my hands are tied
I know how much they need you and dear I understand
I know you'll never leave them cause you're not that kind of man
But I can't control my feelings though heaven knows I tried
And I love you but my hands are tied
My hands are tied and I can't break the ties that bind
I love you more than life but you never will be mine
I know how much you want me I can see it in your eyes
And I love you but my hands are tied
My hands are tied and I can't break the ties that bind
I love you more than life but you never will be mine
I know how much you want me I can see it in your eyes
And I love you but my hands are tied
Yes I love you but my hands are tied

I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!
I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This Carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?
Will true love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?
I'll sing to the sun in the sky,
I'll sing 'till the sun rises high,
Carnival time is here,
Magical time of year,
And as the time draws near,
Dreams lift my heart!
I'll sing as I play my guitar,
I'll cling to a dream from afar,
Will love come my way,
This Carnival day,
And stay here in my heart?
Will true love come my way,
On this Carnival day,
Or will I be alone with my dream?

Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise
Well I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
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
Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas baby, you sure did treat me nice
Gave me a diamond ring for Christmas
Now I'm living in paradise
Well I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
Well I'm feeling mighty fine
Got good music on my radio
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

"Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said,
"Would you like a soldier
of your son, Ted?
With a scarlet cloak and a fine cocked hat,
Mrs. McGrath wouldn't you like that?"
Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore
And after seven years or more
she spied a ship come into the bay
with her son from far away
"Oh, Captain dear, where have you been.
Have you been out sailin' on the Mediteren'.
Have you any news of my son Ted.
Is he livin' or is he dead?"
Now came Ted without any legs
And in their place two wooden pegs
She kissed him a dozen times or two
Saying "My God Ted is it you?"
"Now were you drunk or were you blind
When you left your two fine legs behind?
Or was it walking upon the sea
That wore your two fine legs away?"
"No I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
When I left my two fine legs behind.
a cannon ball on the fifth of May
Tore my two fine legs away."
"Now Teddy boy," the widow cried
"Your two fine legs was your mother's pride
Them stumps of a tree won't do at all
Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?"
All foreign wars, I do proclaim
Live on blood and a mother's pain
I'd rather have my son as he used to be
than the king of America and his whole navy
