Paniolo cowboy in a field of sugar cane Once there was a forest where they hid there in the rain Cowboy bowboy cowboy Wanderin' Wahini under locks of raven hair Beads of inspiration Hopin' he would not forget just where Heyup cowboy! Up above the canopy in the highest branches of a tree He would take her longingly and say "One day you'll belong to me" I forgot to mention it was nineteen forty-one Zeros kept a-comin' like to blanket out the sun Cowboy cowboy So they lay suspended dreaming of some kind of god With their limbs akimbo and extended to the mind of God Cowboy And the night without regret says it's time to let your hair down low There they lay in silhouette he would say I'd stay yet have to go King Kamehameha met with Captain Cook uopn the shore Lookin' at all the cattle asked him "What the hell are these for?" Cowboy cowboy cowboy Gone now is the forest and the lovers of the trees Now there is a chorus playing golf who say in Japanese Kau-boi |

When Roosevelt came to the Land of the Hummingbird
Shouts of welcome were heard "Hummingbird, Hummingbird, Hummingbird" His visit to their island is bound to be An epoch in local history Definitely marking the new era Between Trinidad and America We understand that the president had just been On a visit to Brazil and the Argentine With Mr. Cordell Hull in attendance There they took part in a peace conference Struck by his modest style We were intrigued by the famous Roosevelt smile In fact everybody was glad To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad We were privileged to see the democratic President of the great republic With his charm and his genial personality And his wonderful urbanity To stop war and atrocity And make the world safe for democracy The greatest event of the century In the interest of suffering humanity Port of Spain threw open her gates To the President of the United States In fact everybody was glad To welcome Roosevelt to Trinidad |

There's a lady in a turban by a cocaine tree
She does that dance so rhythmically She's a laughin' and singin' and havin' a time And boy that cocaine tree looks fine. Chorus Put on your sailin' shoes Put on your sailin' shoes Everyone will start to cheer When you put on your sailin' shoes Doctor doctor I feel so bad This is the worst day I've ever had He says "Have you this misery a very long time? 'Cause if you if I'll lay it on the line." |

He is not your run of the mill garden variety Alabama country faire Left on Silver Lake he keeps a small apartment top an Oriental food store there He returned from Alabama to see what he could see. Off the record he is hungry though he works hard in his Alabama country fair I should think he'd fade away the way that Bohemians often bare the frigid air He returned from Alabama to see what he could see. Constant commentary by the wayside Nowadays them country boys don't cotton much to one two three four Rest your team. Work out in the All Golden You will know why hayseeds go back to the country. Constant calm might still our stately union Nowadays a Yankee dread not take his time to wend to sea Forget to bear your arms in the All Golden You will know why hayseeds go back to the country Might as well not 'low for one more go round That's all folks. Them hayseeds go back to the country Ja git it? Alright. |

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline To make records with a mobile We didn't have much time Frank Zappa and the Mothers Were at the best place around But some stupid with a flare gun Burned the place to the ground Smoke on the water, fire in the sky They burned down the gambling house It died with an awful sound Funky & Claude was running in and out Pulling kids out the ground When it all was over We had to find another place But Swiss time was running out It seemed that we would lose the race Smoke on the water, fire in the sky We ended up at the Grand Hotel It was empty cold and bare But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside Making our music there With a few red lights and a few old beds We make a place to sweat No matter what we get out of this I know we'll never forget Smoke on the water, fire in the sky |

On a dare I don't care What they say Give us only today Hey sailor come from the sea It's you and me Call it fate Call it great destiny Since we are at liberty and speaking free I won't grieve if you find you must leave Me behind I won't mind I have heard of push and shove You bring me that word called love Calypso if my heart could only speak We'd take a week in Martinique and just go crazy neh?

Noone can forget the place where she has gone away Funny how regret can taste like honey in L.A. anyway All the trees ornamental Every breeze downright sentimental No one can forget her face when she has gone away Let a bungalow and yard fulfill your every need Get a Romeo and garden all but gone to seed as they say Every swallow returning Just to follow a natural yearning It is just a paper chase when she has gone away What the heck I've hit the deck and checked romance on holiday Drawn a breath and danced with death Until the dawn had held it at bay Watched the palms by the sea sway In the arms of beautiful Nissei Now I can't forget her face since she has gone away Manzanar not the kind of girl to hit the street Manzanar she is dancin to a brand new beat Don't know me from Ansel Adams 'cause I'm from Los Angeles Would've called her but was at a loss For what to say just to please When it gets right down there to the wire When you're reeling and feel her desire Tell her she is All-American in Japanese This is a dump without a doubt You gotta jump you wanna shout And it is sump thin you got out Manzanar You are not warm a desert storm And where the High Sierra hits the flyway You are alone you will explode To Arizone you hit the road Next sound you hear is pounding down the highway Like a man without a nation In a camp of concentration With a stamp of degredation and shame To a place they call it Manzanar by name You are awake an evening star All you can take is makin out just where you are There's a name to explore there And a story of shame and war there In Manzanar in Manzanar Manzanar! |

With His eye on the sparrow you'll fly like an arrow on high Batter up! batter up! Whether losing or winning in only beginning You'll make it on home by and by You take a bat of pine From some denuded forest The glove was made by Mr.Spaulding From a cow in Salvador And by some power divine The crowd joins in the chorus It is a case of now or never And you can hear them roar Ko ko lo to ki me ku to ki Ka ze wa to ma li To mo ni su su mi yu ko Mi la i bo ku la no Ao zo la hi lo ga lu no ha la ni yu ko Kyo o wa ta no shi i ku sa ya kyu u sa Bo ku no ne ga i wa ta ta hi to tsu no Ho o mu la no i pa tsu u tsu da ke sa Ta da bo lu ni mu ka i o mo i ki i li pu le i su ru da ke |

Mister Ford sez to Mister Firestone When they meet at the old campground "We will send out the news by wire and Tell all the people what we have found We can ask Thomas Alva Edison Telephone Alexander Graham Bell And if someone comes here with something to sell Just make yourself clear and tell him to go straight to hell Trade war! For your peace and our protection Give us speed and new direction Someone needs to mind the store Trade war! As is mentioned in the Bible Nations tend to what is tribal Across the ocean white with foam Spend your dollars here at home" Mister Ford turns to MisterFirestone "Well the nation has gotta roll Time has come for the Yanks to load up the tanks If a victory is our goal To show the world all about free enterprize Cut the competition down to size We must make it a date to participate in cooperation We are a nation at war Trade war! We are thinking of survival At the brink with each new rival Here to even up the score Trade war! Competition now is global Give your country what is noble If you're an eagle you must soar We are a nation as at war! There's a bomber up in the sky tonight 'Cause the two brothers Wright took flight Man has gone to the air to keep the world fair Show the others where might makes right When you look up in the wild blue yonder now And see a star or a satellite On a Yankee's invention it may depend So lend us your spirit bright! Trade war! Don't sell land to the invader Tell him come back maybe later We don't do that anymore Trade war! Thanks to our man Ronald Reagan He is gone and we are begging For just the interest on the loan And calamity unknown Trade war! For our lands and independence For our children and descendants We must hold them at the door Trade war! And the sparks have started flying Though your heart says you're denying Our love for all humanity It's what keeps us breathing free Trade war! Make it legal make it tender May our nation not surrender oh no! For just one race to rule the world Keep that battle flag unfurled!" |

Four ships have sailed the ocean to the bay A chop on the water o'er waves of gray The Commodore a notion in the spray Where in emotion We hear him say "Boy that sea is vast! What joy we're here at last! This has to be the island of Japan! Open up that door! We are ship to shore! We represent the President the sentiment of Uncle Sam!"

You light on my feet Fine and so fleet So indiscreet We should meet around midnight You may be insincere You whisper in my ear Some words that may be unclear but they sound so right And my head begins to spin When my heart sez it's a sin Never let the dance begin Once again To begin You have your way with the women You who captivate with your rhythm I can't quite forget or forgive 'em I'm not just a doll built for the ball After I fall dancin' is all you may recall After the ball I remember well elegant swell The spell you weave very well in the moonlight Ooh! Every move you make Your flashing eyes would break The hardest heart in Atlanta it just ain't right. You-- a master of the game Me a moth and you a flame You don't even know my name Just a dame All the same You have your way with the women You who captivate with your rhythm I can't quite forget or forgive 'em So do your worst! You'll be my first At last in love I'm lost and long to care Free from it all! Fated to fall My femme fatale! Always on call! Winsome withal after the ball Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |

Mine is but to do or die And never want for the reason why We just set sail up into the sky To me it seems like flying. Why oh why the sky. Why oh why is it blue and why am I me tell me why are you you. Why are you-hoo? Like why is there right and why is there wrong And why does the weak go along with the strong. Gotta git along. And why is night. It feel like a fright Oh and where is the light that wuz burnin' so bright Burnin' so bright Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Ah- Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Ah- Do not forsake me my dear! |

Opportunity for two It had to be me It had to be you It seemed to be a dream It happened to be true A fine futurity for one A day to make hey A race to be run Though the blue for you They say you the one We might happen to meet Ain't it sweet when it's a glad song? Just keep a flappin' your feet to beat the band out of a sad song God only knows Which way the wind blows Could blow us away So I alway say My honey don't go Let's spend today and dream this away Like honey to be It's just you and me In love for a day Let's spend today and dream dis away Just what could be wrong To string me along In love for a day |

The ghetto's hungry people cry Food is wasted on the hill Hands stretched upwards to the sky That hill seems high and higher still Summer's gone and winter's near The valley's restless, you can hear Seems lest they batter, burn and kill Till their hungry mouths are filled There'll be no city on the hill There might be time to change the course Let's appoint a meeting place Till hill and valley wears the cross And cleanse each other of disgrace This land's a model of the world That's been a dream that's been ignored But let's take haste and settle bills Till their hungry mouths are filled There'll be no city on the hill (Repeat and fade) |

We don't hesitate to try and create And then perpatuate fictious impressions Courteous words like "thank you, I'm sorry Please and world you forgive me" Which we once knew Have now become a forgotten thing Of the past But "convict and condemn" in our minds Our bosom pals, without a trial But this wickedness, crookedness Stupid and malicious gile is out of style Can't people construct and try to engage In something to alleviate this present shortage Control the urge to damage And as the people be less savage In this day and age Remember we pass that stage We share disrespect and then we object When people reject us and call us low class Saturday night infideliy's a damn joke We're cussing, we're whoring We're smoking dope Sunday morning we're holier than the pope When we critisize we tend to dramatize Thereby exercising ignorance and folly Why can't we forget about the pride and scrimmage Ignore the old talk and gossip in the village Cease the damn wastage And as the people be less savage In this day and age Remember we pass that stage |

At the age of nine my father said to me
Son you're growing fine I'm very proud to see Soon a man you'll be with all the zest for life But your greatest test will be to choose a wife Be careful, son be careful. All that glitters isn't gold Be careful. Son be careful, movin' round toward the young and the old You must watch them twice That is my advice You'll find they're nice from far, but far from nice. Marriage is not a sport, it is no game to play Once they have you caught, it's hard to get away Behind every great man there's a woman, that's true But she has a hand in every downfall too Every lady is a woman though nature's act But every woman is not a lady and that is a fact! To comprehend the difference it will take a lot, For they both pretend to be what they are not. |
