Oh, the Tomahawk Kid, do you know what he did
On a cave on Treasure Island?
Sixteen men on a dead man's chest
He didn't know where to find them

When we set sail across the seven seas
There was Captain Dan and Billy Bones and me
And the Tomahawk Kid
The Tomahawk Kid
The Tomahawk Kid

Full fathom five, the Kid is alive
The crew was climbin' up the rigging
We was washed on land, on the silver sand
We got no time for digging

When we set sail across the seven seas
There was Captain Dan and Billy Bones and me
And the Tomahawk Kid
The Tomahawk Kid
The Tomahawk Kid

Yo ho ho
Yo ho ho
Yo ho ho
Yo ho ho

Let's be bold my captain
And I'll hold your hairy hand
And let's forget the treasure
And we'll skip across the sand

Ah, the Tomahawk Kid, do you know what he did?
He hung his head in sorrow
No treasure chest, but he did his best
He's gonna come back tomorrow

When we set sail across the seven seas
There was Captain Dan and Billy Bones and me
And the Tomahawk Kid
The Tomahawk Kid
The Tomahawk Kid

The Tomahawk Kid (Yo ho ho, yo ho ho)
The Tomahawk Kid (Yo ho ho, yo ho ho)
The Tomahawk Kid
The Tomahawk Kid
The Tomahawk Kid (Yo ho ho, yo ho ho)
The Tomahawk Kid (Yo ho ho, yo ho ho)

If you don't put me on trial
Then why don't you turn me loose
You can throw the key away
Let me chase the wild goose
Your progress is my desire
You shouldn't do me wrong
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long

Telling stories to the peacocks
Selling systematically
Just a counterfeit engraving
Of the way you used to be
Just another one-way number
Another two-way song
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long

Don't encourage me to murder
'Cause it pays to advertise
Don't treat me with suspicion
Don't tell me no more lies
You know I love your company
You shouldn't do me wrong
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long
Although it's true I'm worried now
I won't be worried long

I wanna take a walk, I wanna take a walk
I wanna take a walk along Action Strasse
(repeat)

Her eyes....telling lies...paradise
She said....words to me....tenderly

The man inside he was selling me a bride
Wake up in the morning on Action Strasse
A one eyed cat who was very fond of that
Cruising up the middle of Action Strasse
Everybody make for the peppermint shake
Everybody gonna have a good time

Her eyes....telling lies...paradise
She said....words to me....tenderly

I still remember cause I can't forget
The painted lady she got me yet
She look so neat and sound so sweet
When the light shines bright on midnite street
And everybody make for the peppermint shake
Wanna take a walk along Action Strasse

I wanna take a walk, I wanna take a walk
I wanna take a walk along Action Strasse
(repeat)

Did you read my letter published yesterday
Looking for a brand new piece of meat
to pass the time away
So if you've got the money
I certainly got the time
Just bring your baby with you
and I promise you I'll bring mine
You freed my body
but you left my soul in chains
You freed my body
but you left my soul in chains
You say you love me
but you don't even know my name.

You used to call me sweetheart and paid my rent
You blew me kisses when you shared my tent
I used to buy you tickets for the biggest gas in town
And tasted your tomato everytime you brought it 'round.

You freed my body
but you left my soul in chains
You freed my body
but you left my soul in chains
You say you love me
but you don't even know my name.

I called you baby I mixed your stew
I used to seal my lips and tie my hands for you
Up until the last time I sat you on my knee
You drove my brains into the wall, you tortured me

You freed my body
but you left my soul in chains
You freed my body
but you left my soul in chains
You say you love me
but you don't even know my name.

You freed my body
but you left my soul in chains
You freed my body
but you left my soul in chains
You say you love me
but you don't even know my name.

You freed my body, you freed my body, freed my body but you left my soul in chains.

Ribs and balls
Ribs and balls
We all send for ribs
They all send for balls
We all send for ribs
They all send for balls
Send out the roadies out for more
and more and more and more
chew 'em eat 'em
Chew 'em up

Mother dear, did you hear how they're teaching me to do the goose step?
Father mine, just in time, you give me a machine to wash my jeans in
The customer is always right, the girl is much too young to know the difference
The guitar hanging in the hall is calling me in all its magnificence

Give my compliments to the chef
Give my compliments to the chef

Leo sits behind the desk, he wanna see the women cooking gravy
Nobody sent no argument and I gotta go and join the Royal Navy
Mademoiselle you do so well, you know the meaning of salvation
But the General wants me on the phone and he's all alone and needs my consolation

Give my compliments to the chef
Give my compliments to the chef

He's crazy, got his head in a basket
She lazy, you don't understand
You know I'm running, you don't wanna hide me
I know a woman who's a man is a man
One night I was dreaming, I lay on my pillow
The train I was riding was ten coaches long
And in the village they was looking at freedom
In the beginning when I knew any old time

Any old time
Any old time
Any old time

Bad boys don't get no toys and everybody wants to get to heaven
The Salvation Army's asking and nobody ever thinks of giving
You know that major seven break my bones
I gotta go out and beg and borrow
You know I wish I could see yesterday
The way I can see tomorrow

Go and take a look in a history book
Oh, it's up to you to mix the stew
And when you do
Give my compliments to the chef

The chef
Any old time
Any old time
Any old time
Any old time
Any old time
Any old time
Any old time
Any old time
Any old time
I want to give my compliments...

Crying out loud said a face in the crowd
Can you hear me talkin'
The river was dry that was why
I'm on the road and walking
A man on a horse with a box on his head
He was sayin' to the Nation
He pay him dues the goodbye blues
Is simple syncopation
And then I told my story to the cannibal king
Said Shake That Thing
Go and see the frogman and tell him
All your troubles
Take your umbrella cause he
Keeps on blowing bubbles
Come up and let me analyse you
Said the monkey to the weasel
And I'll paint your picture on the wall
If you can buy the easel
And I told my story to the cannibal king
Said baby baby shake that thing

Once upon a sunshine
Before the final bell
I told my story to big boy
With connections straight from Hell
His fiddle was his sweetheart
He was her favourite beau
And hear me saying was all he playing
Them songs from long ago
I told my story to the cannibal king
Said baby baby shake that thing

Too late too late
Can be the cry
So take it if you need it
Theres no such thing as a dirty book
Its just the way you read it
So goodbye baby I'll see you soon
Its gotta be that way
So bury me not on the lone prairie
Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A
Coma Tiyi Yipee Yi A

The sun on the meadow is summery warm
The stag in the forest runs free
But gathered together we'll meet the storm
Tomorrow Belongs To Me
The branch of the Linden is leafy and green
The rage has deserted the sea
The world holds a promise that shines unseen
Tomorrow Belongs To Me

The babe in his cradle is soundly asleep
The blossom embraces the bee
And love like a valley lies wide and deep
Tomorrow Belongs To Me

Oh father Oh father Oh show us a sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come when the world is mine
Tomorrow Belongs To Me

Father Oh father Oh show us a sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come when the world is mine
Tomorrow belongs, tomorrow belongs
Tomorrow belongs to thee

Tomorrow belongs, tomorrow belongs
Tomorrow belongs to thee

Tomorrow belongs, Tomorrow belongs, Tomorrow belongs to thee

The morning will come when the world is thine
Tomorrow Belongs To Me
