Title Lyrics
Domino

Don't wannna discuss it
Think it's time for a change
You may get disgusted
Start thinkin' that I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some
Heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst or what is best
Oh oh Domino
"It's all right"
Roll me over, Romeo
There you go
"Lord, have mercy"
I said oh-oh, Domino
Roll me over, Romeo, there you go
"Say it again"
I said oh-ooh-oh Domino
I said oh-ooh-ooh-oh Domino
"Dig it"
There's no need for argument
There's no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn't call
Or vice versa
That depends on where ever you're at
"All right"
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not
"Hit it"
Oh oh Domino
"All right"
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
"Lord, have mercy"
I said, oh oh Domino
Roll me over Romeo, there you go
"Hey, all right"
"Say it again"
Oh-oh-ooh-ooh Domino
"Hey, hit it"
I said oh-ooh-ooh Domino
Well, Mr. DJ I just wanna hear
Some rhythm and blues music
On the radio
On the radio
On the radio
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh, all right
Uh-uh
"Hear the band"
"One more time"

Crazy Face

All the people were waiting for crazy face
He said he'd meet them at his favorite place
Dressed in black stain, white linen and lace
With his head held high and a smile on his face

He said
Ladies and gentlemen, the prince is late
As he stood outside the church-yard gate
And polished up on his thirty eighty and said
I got it from Jesse James

All the people were waiting for crazy Face
He said he'd meet them at his favorite place
Dresses in black stain, white linen and lace
With his head held high and a smile on his face

And he said
Ladies and gentlemen, the prince is late
As he stood outside the church-yard gate
And polished up on his thirty eighty and said
I got it from Jesse James

Give Me A Kiss

Honey, just one sweet kiss
Baby, from your sweet lips
Honey, just a-one sweet kiss
Baby, from your sweet lips
That's all I want, that's all I need
I'm satisfied

Honey, just one a-your smiles
Lord, makes it all worthwhile
Honey, just a-one a your smiles
Lord, makes it all worthwhile
That's all I want, that's all I need
I'm satisfied

We could go walkin' down the lane
Together, hand in hand
But if you think, it's gonna rain
We'll stay at home, an' listen to the band

Baby, just one a-your kisses
Right-a from your sweet lips
Baby, just want a sweet kiss
Right-a from your sweet lips
That's all I want, that's all I need
I'm satisfied

Do-doot n' do-dit, do-dit, do-dit
Do-doot n' do-dit, do-dit, do-dit
Do-doot n' do-dit, n' do-dit, do-dit
Do-doot n' do-dit, do-dit, do-dit
Doot-do, do-do n' do-do, do

We could go walkin' down the lane (swop-swop, swop-swop)
Together hand in hand (swop-swop, swop-swop)
But if you think it's gonna rain (swop-swop, swop-swop)
Stay at home and listen to the band (do-wop, do-wop, do-wop)

A baby, just one sweet kiss
Honey, honey, honey from a-your sweet lips
Baby, just one sweet smile
That makes everything worth while
That's all I want, that's all I need
I'm satisfied

That's all I want, that's all I need
I'm satisfied

Make love to you, make love to you

I've been grindin'

Been up the thruway, down the thruway
Up the thruway, down the thruway
Up, down, back and up again

I said woman, woman, woman, woman, woman
Make me feel so good
Woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman , woman
Make me feel alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright

Call Me Up In Dreamland

Well I've tried and I've tried
But the river seems so wide
And my head hurts and my hands are tied
And it's so hard
When you're standing on the yard
Every time that your number comes around

Call me up in dreamland
Radio to me man
Get the message to me
Any way you can
Let your river roll
Way down to your soul
Never to grow old
On a saxophone

From the airport to the plane
Way to the railroad train
Why don't we take it from the top
And start over all over again
Every time you hear that whistle blow
You know you gotta put on your show
Every time your number comes around

Call me up in dreamland
Radio to me man
Get the message to me
Any way you can
Let your river roll
Way down to your soul
Never to grow old
On a saxophone

From the car to the bar
Why don't you pour it in a jar
And put a label on it
And send it off to the lost and found
You gotta get it in your brain
Before you go insane
Every time your number comes around

Call me up in dreamland
Radio to me man
Get the message to me
Any way you can
Let your river roll
Way down to your soul
Never to grow old
On a saxophone

Never to grow old
On a saxophone
Never to grow old
On a saxophone
Never to grow old
On a saxophone

I'll Be Your Lover, Too

I'll be your man
I'll understand
Do my best to take good care of you
Yes, I will

You'll be my queen
I'll be your king
And I'll be your lover, too
Yes, I will

Derry down green
Color of my dream
A dream that's daily coming true

I'll tell you
When the day is through
I will come to you
And tell you of your many charms

And you'll look at me
With eyes that see
And melt into each other's arms

And so I come
To be the one
Who's always standing next to you

Reach out for me
So I can be alright
The one who's always reaching out for you
Yes, I will
Yes, I will

You'll be my queen
I'll be your king
And I'll be your lover, too

Let us free you from the pain
Let us see you smile again
Let us unlock all the chains
You're broken-hearted

Let us help you to forget
Let us help you unlock it

Sit down funny face
Oh, let your laughter fill the room

Light up your golden smile
Take away all your misery and gloom
Oh, let your laughter fill the room
Oh, let your laughter fill the room

Let us shake you by the hand
Let us help you understand
Take your head out of the sand
And shake it free now

Let us help you to go on
We are here to lean upon
Now you know exactly just who
You want to be now

Oh, let your laughte, yeah
Let your laughter fill the room

Light up your golden smile
Take away all your misery and gloom
Oh, let your laughter fill the room
Oh, let your laughter fill the room

Let us lift you up on high
See the twinkle in your eye
Raise you up into the sky
And say it's easy

Hey let the trumpets ring it
Oh, let the angels sing it
Let your pretty feet go dancing
Let your worn out mind go prancing

And sit down, oh funny face
Oh, let your laughter fill the room

Light up your golden smile
Take away all your misery and gloom
Oh, let your laughter fill the room, come on
Come on, let your laughter fill the room

Let your laughter fill the room
Let your laughter fill the room
Let it fill the room
Oh, let it fill the room
Oh, let the laughter fill the room

If I Ever Needed Someone

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You

See me through the daytime
(See me through the daytime)
And through the long, lonely night
Lead me through the darkness
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) And on into the light

To stand with me when I'm troubled
(Stand with me when I'm troubled)
And help me through my strife
At times, get so uncertain, I turn to You
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) Turn to You in my young life

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You

Someone to hold on to
(Someone to hold to)
And keep me from all fear
Someone to be my guiding light
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) And keep me ever dear

To keep me from all my selfishness
(Keep me from all selfishness)
To keepin' me from all my sorrow
To lead me onto givingness
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) So I can see a new tomorrow

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You

Someone to walk with
Oh, someone to hold by the hand
Someone to talk with
Someone to understand
Eh (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)

To call on when I need You
(Call on when I need You)
And I need You very much
To open up my arms to You
(Feel Your tender touch) Feel Your tender touch

To feel it and to keep it
(Feel it and keep it)
Tuck it right here in my soul (yeah-yeah)
And care for it and keep it with me
(Never, never to grow old) Never to grow old

Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
Lord, if I ever needed someone, I need You
One more time again
Lord, if I ever needed, needed someone, I need You
Lord, oh, if I ever needed someone, I need You

Street Choir

Street choir
Sing me the song for the new day
Don't make it long
And remember to sing it the old way

Let it all out
Let your voice ring in the street, now
My fun
Shall be this one to complete, now

Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem better off
Why do you come around?

You know I just can't see you, now
(See you now)
In a-my, in a-my, new world crystal ball
You know I just can't free you, now
(Free you now)
That's a-not my job at all

Move it on up
Move it on up by the window
Move it on
A magnificent flow
Lord, let it all grow in the moonglow

I'll take the wine
I'll take the wine with the gravy
I'll ask you the time
And just send the bill, to my baby

Why did you leave America?
Why did you let me down?
And now that things seem…
