I'll take the legs from some old table
I'll take the arms from some old chair
I'll take the neck from some old bottle
And from a horse I'll take the hair

I'll take the hands and face from off the clock
And baby when I'm through
I'll get more loving from the dum-dum-dummy
Than I ever got from you

Get me some legs
Get me a chair
And a bottle, too

Give a horse
Give me some time
And baby when I'm through

I'll take the legs from some old table
I'll take the arms from some old chair
I'll take the neck from some old bottle
And from a horse I'll take the hair

I'll take the hands and the face from off the clock
And baby when I'm through
I'll get more loving from the dum-dum-dummy
Than I ever got from you

I get more loving from the dum-dum-dummy
Than I ever got from you

Yeah Mama get more loving
From a dummy than I get from you

I will leave you at the end of never
Come whatever not before
When this Earth is chilled by the sun
Then the love we've begun

Will be over and done
I will leave you far beyond forever
Past the music heaven hums
But I pray the end of never

Never comes
And I pray the end of never
Never comes

Well I knew a boy named Willie Brown
He was a lover of our town
Wherever he went the girls fell down
And cried for Willie Brown
Crazy about Willie Brown

Tall and dark and lean and long
Big as a bull and twice as strong
He loved the girls and turned them down A sheek was Willie Brown
Dang sheek Willie Brown

Well a new girl moved in on our street We knew that she and Will would meet
But then, when we inquired around
She'd not met Willie Brown,
She said who's Willie Brown

The prettiest girl you ever saw
Head to toe without a flaw
When they met one night in town
She fell for Willie Brown
In love with Willie Brown

But the trouble was that we all knew
Willie Brown was falling too
Then he announced when June comes around
She'll marry Willie Brown
She's in love with Willie Brown

But then the girl denied it all
She said it's true that I did fall
But he took my love for granted now
To heck with Willie Brown
Conceited Willie Brown,

Willie Brown was shocked to learn
That his love had at last been spurned
So on a hill outside of town
We buried Willie Brown
We buried Willie Brown

You and me cannot agree cause our love's the fightin' kind

Oh yes you did, you started it, like you start all our fights
No I didn't do no such thing and that's a dirty lie
Nothin's ever your fault and nothin's ever mine
You and me cannot agree cause our love's the fightin' kind

Well you've burned the supper up again, that's nothing new
I just figured you'd pack that all on me
Well you're the one that caused me to
Oh it's always me

When you're always lookin', fault ain't hard to find
We delight in pickin' fights cause our love's the fightin' kind

Two lovers, both too stubborn
To take the blame for anything so we blame it on the other
Some love is understanding, there's careless love in line
It takes all sorts and mine and yours is known as the fightin' kind

Okay Miss Priss...
What is it now?
Now I know you done this.
What?
How am I supposed to shave?
That ain't never been my problem.
Now I don't care if you using my razor, but did you have to use my brand new blade?
New blade? Boy it's good, that is really good. That's real good, to think I went to all that trouble tryin' to fix that nice for you?
That's fixed up nice I'll probably keep it for washin' the soap off the wall.
Oh there ain't no soap or I ain't got no television in the bathroom.
And that new blade that you begrudged me had already been used.

Two lovers, both too stubborn
To take the blame for anything so we blame it on the other
What's mine is yours what's yours is yours and so on down the line
You and me cannot agree cause our love's the fightin' kind
You and me cannot agree cause our love's the fightin' kind

Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm


Let me be the someone that you need
Let me be the shelter that you seek
Let me be your strength when you are weak
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm

Let me walk in the sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety of your arms
Let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm

Let me be the one always around
Let me help you up when you are down
Let me make a smile out of a frown
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm

Let me walk in the sunshine, sunshine of your smile
Let me hide in the shadows, shadows of your eyes
Let me lie in the safety, safety of your arms
And let me be the fire that keeps you warm
I'll keep you warm

Let me be the fire that keeps you warm
Let me be the fire that keeps you warm

Hermaphrodite: a flower containing both male and female organs; a person or animal of both sexes.

The child Hermaphroditus was the son of Hermes and Aphrodite, the result of a secret love affair. For this reason he was entrusted to the nymphs of the isolated Mount Ida, who allowed him to grow up as a wild creature of the woods. After his encounter with the water-nymph Salmacis, he laid a curse upon the water. According to fable, all persons who bathed in the water became hermaphrodites.


From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood,
Mount Ida rises like an island.
Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child;
Hermaphroditus, son of gods, so afraid of their love.

As the dawn creeps up the sky
The hunter caught sight of a doe.
In desire for conquest,
He found himself within a glade he'd not beheld before.

"Where are you, my father? "Then he could go no farther
Give wisdom to your son" Now lost, the boy was guided by the sun"

And as his strength began to fail
He saw a shimmering lake.
A shadow in the dark green depths
Disturbed the strange tranquility.

"The waters are disturbed "The waters are disturbed
Some creature has been stirred" Naiad queen Salmacis has been stirred"

As he rushed to quench his thirst,
A fountain spring appeared before him
And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist,
A liquid voice called, "Son of gods, drink from my spring".

The water tasted strangely sweet.
Behind him the voice called again.
He turned and saw her, in a cloak of mist alone
And as he gazed, her eyes were filled with the darkness of the lake.

"We shall be one "She wanted them as one
We shall be joined as one" Yet he had no desire to be one"

"Away from me cold-blooded woman
Your thirst is not mine"
"Nothing will cause us to part
Hear me, O Gods"

Unearthly calm descended from the sky
And then their flesh and bones were strangely merged
Forever to be joined as one.

The creature crawled into the lake.
A fading voice was heard:
"And I beg, yes I beg that all who touch this spring
May share my fate"

"We are the one "The two are now made one,
We are the one" Demi-god and nymph are now made one"

Both had given everything they had.
A lover's dream had been fulfilled at last,
Forever still beneath the lake.

I've had to think up a way to survive
Since you said it's over
Told me good-bye
I just can't make it one day without you
Unless I pretend that the opposites true

Rivers flow backwards
Valleys are high
Mountains are level
Truth is a lie
I'm perfectly fine
And I don't miss you
The sky is green
And the grass is blue

How much can a heart and a troubled mind take
Where is that fine line before it all breaks
Can one end their sorrow
Just cross over it
And into that realm of insanitive bliss

There's snow in the tropics
There's ice on the sun
It's hot in the arctic
And crying is fun
And I'm happy now
And I'm glad were through
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue

And the rivers flow backwards
And my tears are dry
Swans hate the water
And eagles can't fly
But I'm alright now
Now that I'm over you
And the sky is green
And the grass is blue
And I don't love you
And the grass is blue

Pardon the smile on my face my friend
Dreamin' of reachin' my journeys end
I'm headin' straight for my hearts desire
Gee, it's good to know I'm near the home fire

All of the folks that I love are there
I got a date with my favourite chair
With every step every hope grows higher
Didn't know how much I missed the home fire

The noises, the TV, the rusty old pipes
The cat always teasin' my dog
The neighbours, the quarrels, the screaming of kids
For the first time in years I'll sleep like a log

Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
Seven or eight dreams around the bend
And if you're ever in town inquire
We'll be glad to have you share the home fire

Yes, the noises, the TV, the rusty old pipes
The cat always teasin' my dog
The neighbours, the quarrels, the scream of the kids
For the first time in years I'll sleep like a log

Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
Seven or eight dreams around the bend
And if you're ever in town inquire
We'll be glad to have you share the home fire

This is the house that Jack built, y'all
Remember this house!

This was the land that he worked by hand
The was the dream of an upright man
This was the room that was filled with love
This was a love that I was proud of
This was a life of a love I planned
Of a love and a life we loved
Of the house that Jack built.
Remember this house!

There was the fence that held our love,
There was the gate that he walked out of
This is the heart that is turned to stone
This was the house, but it ain't no home
This is the love that I once had
In a dream that I thought was love,
This is the house that Jack built,
I'm gonn' remember this house!

Oh-ohh wha-a-at's the use of crying?
Because I brought it on myself
There's no denying
But it see-e-ee-ems awful funny
That I didn't understand
Was it a house of an upright man

Up on the hill
There's a big plan still
In the house that Jack built

Listen!
I got the house
I got the car
I got the rug
And I got the rack
But I ain't got Jack
And I want my Jack back!

I turned my back on Jack
He said he wasn't coming back
I turned my back on Jack
he said he wasn't coming back
Ohhh, Jack
Ohh! Come on back
Ohh Jack

I remember when I first saw him
Something told me that I couldn't ignore him
I've been dreamin' of him every night ever since we met
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)

I remember when I first kissed him
He touched my hand and then I couldn't resist him
And though he kissed me 'bout a week ago, I ain't got over it yet
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)

Wo wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo wo
I could be so happy knowing he was mine (Yeah yeah yeah, all the time)
And I could make him happy
I would treat him good, yes I would
(Wo wo)
Wo wo wo wo wo, wo wo wo wo wo

Gotta tell him that I adore him
There is nothin' that I wouldn't do for him
I won't be happy till I make him mine and a wedding day is set
'Cause he's the kind of boy you can't forget
(He's the kind of boy you can't forget)
