The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

SUMMER HOLIDAY - CLIFF RICHARD
only registered users can see external links
We're all going on a summer holiday
No more working for a week or two.
Fun and laughter on our summer holiday,
No more worries for me or you,
For a week or two.
We're going where the sun shines brightly
We're going where the sea is blue.
We've all seen it on the MOVIES,
Now let's see if it's true.
Everybody has a summer holiday
Doin' things they always wanted to
So we're going on a summer holiday,
To make our dreams come true
For me and you.
For me and you.
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time MOVIE
About a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost you can see
If I could read your mind love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches
Come the hero would be me
Heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take
I walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two, a MOVIE queen
To play the scene of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now love lets be real
I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feelings gone and I just can't get it back
If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time MOVIE about a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
The story always ends
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feeling that you left
I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back

They are not nice they're mostly noise
They swear like men, they screw like boys
I know there's nothing in their hearts
But every time I take one in my arms
It starts, the MOVIE in my mind
The dream they leave behind
A scene I can't erase
And in a strong G.I's embrace
Flee this life, flee this place
The movie plays and plays
The screen before me fills
He takes me to New York
He gives me dollar bills
Our children laugh all day
And eat to much ice cream
And life is like a dream
Dream, the dream i long to find
The movie in my mind
I will not cry, I will not think
I'll do my dance I'll make them drink
When I make love it won't be me
And if they hurt me I'll just close my eyes and see
(They are not nice they're mostly noise)
The movie in my mind
(They kill like men they die like boys)
The dream that fills my head
A man who will not kill, who'll fight for me instead
He'll keep us safe all day, so no-one comes at night
To blow the dream away
Dream, the dream I have to find
The movie in my mind
All girls:
And in a strong G.I's embrace
Flee this life, flee this place
A world that's far away
Where life is not unkind
The movie in my mind

(song doesn't start for a minute, very beautiful)
How dare you look at me
As if we'd met before
Charming your way, you led me into the dance floor
I know I shouldn't have let you in
But your touch said things that my mind had forgotten
And your smile showed me back home
If this was a story
It would be a best-selling novel
A tragic, romantic comedy
With our faces on the cover
And if this was a MOVIE
You'd be standing outside my door
Holding up a sign that says
Babe, I love you more
But this is not a MOVIE
There's no script or happy ending
And we might never meet again
Was it all in vain?
Mmmmm
How dare you holding me
As if you had held me before
Charming your way, you led me into your bedroom door
This is not a MOVIE
There's no script or happy ending
We might never meet again
Can we never meet again?

Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six
He thinks of all the lips that he licks
And all the girls that he's going to fix
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle
But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle
Capital punishment, she's last year's model
They call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie
I don't want to go to Chelsea
Oh, no, it does not move me
Even though I've seen the MOVIE
I don't want to check your pulse
I don't want nobody else
I don't want to go to Chelsea
Everybody's got new orders
Be a nice girl and kiss the warders
Now the teacher is away
All the kids begin to play
Men come screaming, dressed in white coats
Shake you very gently by the throat
One's named Gus, one's named Alfie
I don't want to go to Chelsea
Oh, no, it does not move me
Even though I've seen the MOVIE
I don't want to check your pulse
I don't want nobody else
I don't want to go to Chelsea

T hey're gonna put me in the MOVIES
They're gonna make a big star out of me
We'll make a film about a man that's sad and lonely
And all I gotta do is act naturally
Well, I'll bet you I'm gonna be a big star
Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well
Well, I hope you come and see me in the movies
Then I know that you will plainly see
The biggest fool that ever hit the big time
And all I gotta do is act naturally
We'll make the scene about a man that's sad and lonely
And beggin' down upon his bended knee
I'll play the part but I won't need rehearsing
All I have to do is act naturally

Might win an Oscar, you can never tell
The movies gonna make me a big star
'Cause I can play the part so well

STUCK on you
(I've) Got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can't lose
Gess I'm on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I'll be with you till the end
Guess I'm on my way
I'm glad you stay!
STUCK on you
Been a fool to long I guess it's time for me to come on home
Guess I'm on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I'm on my way
I'm glad you stay

And I know just where I'm goin
Packed up my troubles and I thrown them all away
Cause this time little darling

All I can think about are band-aids...
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
STUCK in the middle with you
Yes I'm STUCK in the middle with you,
And I'm wondering what it is I should do,
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face,
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place,
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, STUCK in the middle with you
Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please
Trying to make some sense of it all,
But I can see that it makes no sense at all,
Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor,
'Cause I don't think that I can take anymore
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,
Here I am, STUCK in the middle with you
Well you started out with nothing,
And you're proud that you're a self made man,
And your friends, they all come crawlin,
Slap you on the back and say,
Please, please
Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
I got the feeling that something ain't right,
I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair,
And I'm wondering how I'll get down the stairs,
Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right, here I am,
STUCK in the middle with you,
Yes I'm STUCK in the middle with you,
STUCK in the middle with you, here I am STUCK in the middle with you

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake- sugar,
But you'll never shake me

Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear

Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
'Cause once I catch ya and the kissin' starts
A team o' wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from this daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

Come closer now
So I can see you in the dark
I wanna hold your body next to mine
I wanna hurry love and take my time
Hold onto me
And let me feel you in my arms
Touch me and slowly steal my breath away
Then tell me things that no one would say
And I wanna feel your heart
Here every night
And I long to hear your voice
Saying it's alright
To know you, so you
Whisper in the dark
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Stuck here in the night
I know
Touch me with a spark
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And as we join together, love
I'll never let you go
Where we are is where I always want to stay
I love to kiss you
As we break apart and share the secrets
Deep inside my heart
And I want to feel you
Right here every night
I long to hear your voice
Sayin' it's alright
To know you, so you
Whisper in the dark
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
STUCK here in the night
I know
Touch me with a spark
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And as we join together, love
I'll never let you go
Never let you go
Travel with me through time and space
Each night is all we need
Our love will be a private place
To come to, so you
Whisper in the dark
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(In the dark)
Stuck here in the night
I know
Touch me with a spark
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And as we join together, love
We will whisper in the dark
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Stuck here in the night
I know
(Come and touch me)
Touch me with a spark
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Stuck here in the night
I know
Whisper in the dark
Stuck here in the night
I know
Touch me with a spark
Stuck here in the night
Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin' my fame and fortune
Lookin' for a pot of gold
Thing got bad things got worse
I guess you will know the tune
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
I rode in on the Greyhound
I'll be walkin' out if I go
I was just passin' through
Must be seven seven months or more
Ran out of time and money
Looks like they took my friends
Oh Lord, I'm STUCK in Lodi again
The man from the magazine
Said I was on my way
Somewhere I lost connections
Ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one night stand
Looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, STUCK in Lodi again
If I only had a dollar
For ev'ry song I've sung
And ev'ry time I had to play
While people sat there drunk
You know, I'd catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh Lord, I'm STUCK in Lodi again
Oh Lord, I'm STUCK in Lodi again

Strolling along minding my own business
Well there goes a girl and a half
She's got me going up and down
She's got me going up and down
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
Well I got the notion girl that you got some suntan lotion in that bottle of yours
Spread it all over my peelin' skin, baby
That feels real good
All this skirt lappin' up the sun
Lap me up
Why don't you come on and lap me up?
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
Well, there goes another one just lying down on the sand dunes
I'd better go take a swim and see if I can cool down a little bit
'Cause you and me, woman
We got a lotta things on our minds (you know what I mean)
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
Will you just take a look over there (where?) (there)
Is she tryin' to get outta that Clitares?
Liberation for women
That's what I preach (preacher man)
Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches
Oh shit!
There goes the charabanc
Looks like I'm gonna be STUCK here the whole summer
Well, what a bummer
I can think of a lot worse places to be
Like down in the streets
Or down in the sewer
Or even on the end of a skewer
Down on the beaches, just looking at the peaches
Down on the beaches, just looking at brown bodies
Down on the beaches, just looking at all the shot glasses
Down on the beaches, just looking at all the peaches
Down on the beaches, just looking at all the peaches
Down on the beaches, just looking at all the peaches
Down on the beaches
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm

In the early mornin' rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an aching in my heart
And my pockets full of sand
I'm a long ways from home
And I missed my loved one so
In the early mornin' rain
With no place to go
Out on runway number nine
Big seven o seven set to go
Well I'm stuck here on the grass
Where the pavement never grows
Now the liquor tasted good
And the women all were fast
There she goes my friend
She'll be rolling down at last
Hear the mighty engines roar
See the silver wing on high
She's away and westward bound
Far above the clouds she'll fly
Where the mornin' rain don't fall
And the sun always shines
She'll be flying over my home
In about three hours time
This ol' airport's got me down
It's no earthly good to me
And I'm STUCK here on the ground
As cold and drunk as I can be
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain
You can't jump a jet plane
Like you can a freight train
So I best be on my way
In the early mornin' rain

They came from the hills
And they came from the valleys and the plains
They struggled in the cold
In the heat and the snow and in the rain
Came to hear him play
Play their minds away
We're all following a strange MELODY
We're all summoned by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon...
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon
Sub luna saltamus
They came from the south
From the west and the north and from the east
They waited for the man
Like a parish is waiting for the priest
Longed to hear him play
Play their minds away
We're all following a strange melody
We're all summoned by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon...
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon
Sub luna saltamus
He gave them a dream
He seduced everybody in the land
The fire in his eyes
And the fear was a weapon in his hand
So they let him play
Play their minds away
We're all following a strange melody
We're all summoned by a tune
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon...
We're following the piper
And we dance beneath the moon for him
And we dance beneath the moon
I thought of a song which I thought contained the line '..the melody kinda lingers ..' but actually it was MEMORY not MELODY.

I spent a lot of my time looking at blue,
The color of my room and my mood:
Blue on the walls, blue out of my mouth;
The sort of blue between clouds, when the sun comes out,
The sort of blue in those eyes you get hung up about.
When that feeling of meaninglessness sets in,
Go blowing my mind on God:
The light in the dark, with the neon arms,
The meek He seeks, the beast He calms,
The head of the good soul department.
I see myself suddenly
On the piano, as a MELODY.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.
I associate love with red,
The colour of my heart when she's dead;
Red in my mind when the jealousy flies,
Red in my eyes from emotional ties,
Manipulation, the danger signs.
The more I think about sex, the better it gets.
Here we have a purpose in life:
Good for the blood circulation,
Good for releasing the tension,
The root of our reincarnations.
I see myself suddenly
On the piano, as a MELODY.
My terrible fear of dying
No longer plays with me,
for now I know that I'm needed
For the symphony.
I spent a lot of my time looking at blue
No wonder that I blue it!
I'm in the mood for a MELODY
I'm in the mood for a MELODY I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood for a MELODY
I'm in the mood for a MELODY I'm in the mood
I'm in the mood for a MELODY
I'm in the mood for a MELODY I'm in the mood
I can make you dance I can make you sing
I can make you dance I can make you sing
If you want me to
Oh I can make you dance I can make you sing
I can make you dance I can make you sing
If you want me to
Oh I can make you dance I can make you sing
I can make you dance I can make you sing if you want me to
And your little song that you want to sing
A little song that you want to sing sung in lieu
Here's a little song that you want to sing
A little song that you want to sing some of you
A little song that you want to sing
A little song that you want to sing happy or blue
I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood, I'm in the mood
Why'd I end up doing it doin' it doing it
Do anything that you want me for if you want me to
Do it right gonna do it right
Cause a matter of fact it'll turn out to be strong
If you want me to if you want me to
Oh if you want me to if you want me to if you want me to

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs I've made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darling can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darling can't you please see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you
You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I'm so much better and if my words don't come together
Listen to the MELODY cause my love is in there hiding
I love you in place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
I was not familiar with the artist or the song so I listened to the video. Gosh, she seemed to sing in a vocal range that only dogs could hear and she reminded me of Carol Kane, an actress seen on Taxi, a television program from the 80's(?). See if you agree.

She stops out till morning
She hangs out at fairgrounds
Moving to a new sound
Waiting to forget the past
A melody calls
Loops around, a setting sun
Time to lose herself again
A melody calls
A setting sun, a melody calls
Time to lose myself again
The words don't come so easy
She can't say what's inside
The sounds they do speak for me
The sounds remain forever
Stays with her till morning time
A melody calls
Loops around, a setting sun
Time to lose herself again
A melody calls
A setting sun, a melody calls
Time to lose myself again
A melody calls
Loops around, a setting sun
Time to lose herself again
A melody calls
A setting sun, a melody calls
Time to lose myself again
A melody calls...
A melody calls...
Like a sound you hear
That lingers in your ear
But you can't forget
From sundown to sunset
It's all in the air
You hear it everywhere
No matter what you do
It's gonna grab a hold on you
California soul, California soul
They say the sun comes up every morning
And if you listen carefully
The winds that ride on the high time
Whistle a melody
And so the people started to sing
And that's how the surf gave birth untold
California soul, California soul
When you hear the beat
You wanna pat your feet
And you've got to move
Cause it's really such a groove
Puts a brand new kind of thinking in your mind
And you can't go wrong
Cause you're groovin' all day long
California soul, California soul
They had the melody and the beat
But it still didn't seem complete
Until they saw two lovers kissin'
They knew just what was missin'
So happy they were rockin' and reelin'
Because they added that lovin' feeling
To California soul, California soul
California soul
California
California
California

Oops I screwed up sorry
Good song choice!
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Sing us a song, you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a MELODY
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a MELODY
And you got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Sing us a song you're the piano man
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a MELODY
And you got us feeling alright

Well, if your hands start a-clappin'
And your fingers start a-poppin'
And your feet start a-movin' around
And if you start to swing and sway
When the band starts to play
A real cool way out sound
And if you get to can't help it and you can't sit down
You feel like you gotta move around
You get a shot of RHYTHM and blues.
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure.
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rockin' time, see'mon!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
With just a little rock and roll on the side
Just for good measure
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rockin' time, see'mon!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Get a pair of dancin' shoes
Get a shot of rhythm and blues
Well, with your lover by your side
Don't you know you're gonna have a rockin' time, see'mon!
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
If you start to dance and sing
And chills come up on you
And if the rhythm finally gets you and the beat gets you too
Well, here's something for you to do
Well, here's something for you to do
Well, here's something for you to do
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know, that's a game, that I hate to loose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me away
Beginin' to think, that I'm wastin' time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you, you can carry me through
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me away
And when my mind is free
You know your melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars come through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And RHYTHM, and rhyme, and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Won't you take me away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

At night when you turn off all the lights
There's no place that you can hide
No no, the RHYTHM is gonna get'cha
In bed, throw the covers on your head
You pretend like you are dead
But I know it, the rhythm is gonna gey'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you tonight
No way, you can fight it every day
But no matter what you say
You know it the rhythm is gonna get'cha
No clue, of what's happening to you
And before this night is through
Ooh baby the rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get'cha
Rhythm is gonna get you
The rhythm is gonna get you tonight
Rhythm is gonna get'cha

Bass man play
Bass man what you say
Country boy, city slicker
My head is stuck in the clouds
She begs me to come down
Says "Boy quit foolin' around"
I told her "I love the view from up here
Warm sun and wind in my ear
We'll watch the world from above
As it turns to the RHYTHM of love"
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine, all mine
Play the music low and sway to the RHYTHM of love
My heart beats like a drum
A guitar string to the strum
A beautiful song to be sung
She's got blue eyes deep like the sea
That roll back when she's laughing at me
She rises up like the tide
The moment her lips meet mine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the RHYTHM of love
When the moon is low
We can dance in slow motion
And all your tears will subside
All your tears will dry
And long after I've gone
You'll still be humming along
And I will keep you in my mind
The way you make love so fine
We may only have tonight
But till the morning sun you're mine all mine
Play the music low and sway to the RHYTHM of love
Play the music low and sway to the RHYTHM of love
Yes sway to the RHYTHM of love

Humming to the music
Trying to move on
I'm walking in RHYTHM
Singing my song
Thinking about my baby
Trying to get home
Walking in RHYTHM

It's been so long since I seen her
I'm tired and so all alone
I've traveled so very far
I've got to get back home

Days can be sunny, with never a sigh
Don't need what money can buy
Birds in the trees sing their day full of song
Why shouldn't we sing along?
I'm chipper all the day, happy with my lot
How do I get that way? Look at what I've got
I got RHYTHM, I got music
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
I got daisies, in green pastures
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more?
Old man trouble
I don't mind him
You won't find him 'round my door
I got starlight
I got sweet dreams
I got my man
Who could ask for anything more ?
Old man trouble

When my heart (city RHYTHM) is torn apart (ooh)
By the love I wish I had
Well, I spend my (city rhythm) nights in the city's lights (ooh)
And things don't seem so bad
Ya know the movement seems to soothe me
And the tempo takes control
And I lose my blues
When the New York City rhythm fills my soul
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' though life (city rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
When I'm out (city rhythm) for love or sin (ooh)
Oh, it's good to be in town
In the funky (city rhythm) dives on the old west side (ooh)
There's always somethin' goin' down
Yes, I live my life with strangers
And the danger's always there
But when I hit Broadway and it's time to play
You know that I don't care
It's the New York City rhythm runnin' through' my life (city rhythm)
The poundin' beat of the city streets that keeps my dreams alive
I'm lost (I'm lost), I'm found (I'm found)
I'm up (I'm up), I'm down, (I'm down) but somehow I survive
It's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life
Oh, it's got to be the New York City rhythm in my life, in my life
Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York
Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York
Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York, Nueva York
Hey ladies in the place, I'm callin' out to ya
There never was a city kid truer and bluer
There's more to me than you'll ever know
And I've got more hits than Sadaharu Oh
Tom Thumb, Tom Cushman or Tom Foolery
I date women on T.V. with the help of Chuck Woolery
Words are flowing out just like the Grand Canyon
And I'm always out looking for a female companion
I threw the lasso around the tallest one and dragged her to the crib
I took off her moccasins and put on my bib
Wheelin' and dealin' I make a little bit of stealing
I'll bring her back to the place and your dress I'm peeling
Your body's on time and your mind is appealing
Staring at the cracks up there up on the ceiling
Such and such'll be the bass that I'm throwing
I'm talking to the girl telling her I'm all-knowing
She's talking to the kid (who?) to the kid, to the kid
I'm telling her every lie that you know that I never did
Hey ladies, get funky
All the ladies in the house
The ladies, the ladies
Well, me in the corner with a good looking daughter
I dropped my drawers, said welcome back Kotter
We was cutting up the rug, she started cutting up the carpet
In my apartment, I begged her, please stop it
The gift of gab is the gift that I have
And that girl ain't nothing but a crab
Educated no, stupid yep
And when I say stupid, I mean stupid fresh
I'm not James at fifteen or Chachi in charge
I'm Adam and I'm adamant about living large
With the white sassoons and the looks that kill
Makin' love in the back of my Coupe De Ville
I met a little cutie she was all hopped up on zootie
I liked the little cutie but I kicked her in the bootie
'Cause I don't kinda go for that messin' around
You be listening to my records' a number one sound
Just step to the rhythm, step, step to the ride
I've got an open mind so why don't you all get inside?
Tune in, turn on to my tune that's live
Ladies flock like bees to a hive
Hey ladies, get funky
Hey, hey, hey, hey ladies (girls, girls)
Hey, hey, hey, hey, ladies
One more time, ain't it funky now?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey ladies
(Ain't it funky now?) well, you know that
She got a gold tooth you know she's hardcore
She'll show you a good time then she'll show you the door
Break up with your girl it ended in tears
Vincent Van Gogh go and mail that ear
Call her in the middle of the night when I'm drinking
The phone booth on the corner is damp and it's stinking
Said come on over it was me that she missed
I threw that trash can through her window 'cause you know I got dissed
Your old lady left you and you went insane
You blew yourself up in the back of the six train
Take my advice at any price a gorilla like your mother is mighty weak
Sucking down pints until I didn't know
Woke up in the morning with a one-ton ho
'Cause I announce I like girls that bounce
With the weight that pays about a pound per ounce
Girls with curls and big long locks
And beatnik chicks just wearing their smocks
Walking high and mighty like she's number one
(She thinks she's the passionate one)
Hey ladies, get funky
Dance
Good god
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Ain't it funky brother?
Hey, hey, hey, hey ladies
Hey ladies

[Chorus]
All my life I've stuck to the RHYTHM of the drums inside my head
Longing for the sweet sound of my mama
Make them all walk this way
All my life I've stuck to the rhythm of the drums inside my head
Longing for the sweet sound of my mama
Make them all walk this way
[Bridge]
There's a light for you, burning for you
Oh, my mama said: "It is burning for you
Oh, don't let it go, oh, don't let it it go
You'll find a way, baby, make them all burn."
(You'll make them all burn)
[Verse 1]
I'm a post-teen monster, bold and blind
From the top of my head to the shaking ground
Blame the billboards cause they've let me down
I'm a symphony of the world gone wild
(What a pretty sight)
And I spit and I cry for the dirty mind
Never really got it, baby
(You'll make them all burn)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I think about it all the time
Tough luck, when, oh, will the days come around
Boy I am thinking 'bout it all the time (ooohh)
(You'll make them all burn)
[Chorus]
All my life I've stepped to the rhythm of the drums inside my head
Longing for the sweet sound of my mama
Make them all walk this way
[Bridge]
There's a light for you, burning for you
Oh, my mama said: "It is burning for you
Oh, don't let it go, oh, don't let it it go
You'll find a way, baby, make them all burn."
[Verse 2]
I’m a bug in your eardrum, that’s my luck
(That's my luck)
And I won’t, won’t stop ‘til the day I die
You’ll never get my posse and I
We’re a symphony of the world gone wild
(What a pretty sight)
And we long for the place where we can be found
Burning like a star in our minds
(You’ll make them all burn)
[Pre-Chorus]
But I think about it all the time
Tough luck, when, oh, will the days come around
Boy I am thinking 'bout it all the time (oohh)
(You'll make them all burn)
[Hook 1]
Sun rises beyond the sea
The dead will see and we might stop living
[Chorus]
All my life I've stepped to the rhythm of the drums inside my head
Longing for the sweet sound of my mama
Make them all walk this way
All my life I've stepped to the rhythm of the drums inside my head
Longing for the sweet sound of my mama
Make them all walk this way
[Bridge]
There's a light for you, burning for you
Oh, my mama said: "It is burning for you
Oh, don't let it go, oh, don't let it it go
You'll find a way, baby, make them all burn."
[Hook 2]
Sunshine is beyond the sea
You’ll find a way, baby
Make them all burn
(Yeah)

Listen to the RHYTHM of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain please tell me now does that seem fair
For her to steal my heart away when she don't care?
I can't love another when my hearts somewhere far away
The only girl I care about has gone away
Looking for a brand new start
But little does she know that when she left that day
Along with her she took my heart
Rain won't you tell her that I love her so
Please ask the sun to set her heart aglow
Rain in her heart and let the love we knew start to grow
Listen to the RHYTHM of the falling rain
Telling me just what a fool I've been
I wish that it would go and let me cry in vain
And let me be alone again
Oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the falling rain
Pitter patter, pitter patter
