Give me another Trojan song, give me another Trojan song
Give me another Trojan, Trojan song
Give me another way to go, give me another, tap my toe
Give me another Trojan, Trojan song
I be a rockin' fool, said I be a rockin' fool
I say I be a rockin', rollin' fool
Give me another Trojan song, 'cause a Trojan don't take long
Give me another Trojan, Trojan song
Bridge:
Girl, I wanna dance with you, make some love, romance with you
Give me another thrill up on the hill
Girl, I wanna dance with you, make some love, romance with you
Bring me another $20 bill
Meet me in the Twilight Zone, said up in the Twilight Zone
Meet me in the Twilight Zone
Give me another way to go, give me another, tap my toe
Give me another Trojan, Trojan song

You said you felt like a fool just catering
& you said you seem like a noose 'round my neck
What did I know? What did I know?
What did I know about you?
You said you felt like a cloud on a rainy day
& you knew the storm of your life was comin' on
What did I know? What did I know?
What did I know about you?
(instrumental)
You felt you needed to get back on your own
I say I need you with me; come on home
What did I know? What did I know?
What did I know about you?
(instrumental, fading out)
I want those sweet, sweet things to come
I want those sweet, sweet things to come
'Cause I'm ready, yes I'm ready, well I'm ready
For your love, love
I want those sweet, sweet bells to ring
I want those sweet, sweet bells to ring
'Cause I'm ready, yes I'm ready, well I'm ready
For your love
(instrumental)
I'll give you all, all I can give
I'll give you all, all I can give
'Cause I'm ready, yes I'm ready, well I'm ready
For your love, love
Well I'm tired of the way things been goin'
I'm searchin' my head for the path
Saw the Grail in her hand at the drive-in
But suddenly it dawned on me
What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
Felt the warmth of her eyes at the playground
When I turned just to see she was gone
But my senses are saying that it happened
An angel had strolled down my mind
What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
What will tomorrow bring me?
(instrumental)
What about tomorrow?
What about tomorrow?
(instrumental, fading out)
The wrong kind of groove & it just wouldn't work that way
The wrong kind of move & I knew it wouldn't pay
It was the right thing to prove, but it just couldn't be that way
Well let me, let me tell you that I really really wish it could
It was the right time of day, but it just wasn't meant to be
The right thing to say, but it just wasn't meant for me
It was a real scene today & the folks just let it be
Well let me, let me tell you that I really really wish I could
CHORUS:
She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la, she la la la la la
It was a hope in my mind that pushed me on my feet
The faith on my mind that pushed me on my feet
It was a step that I take; say, can you take it too?
Well let me, let me tell you that I really really hope you do too
(chorus)
(repeat verse 3)
(repeat & fade):
She la la la la la, she la la la la la
She la la la la la la la la la la, she la la la la la
You give me everything that I need
& I get you anything just to please
You tell me everything that you want
You tell me how you talk, talk, talk
CHORUS:
& I love you, yes I love you
& I love you, yes I love you
You wake me up a quarter to 9
You know it if you're feelin' just fine
I'm lookin' as you go for the door
I'm lookin', give me more, more, more
(chorus)
(instrumental)
& I love you
(spoken): I still love you, baby
(Yes I love you)
(instrumental, fading out)
Get up, go down, do the job well
Be true to your heart
Get up, be fair, do your best yet
It's all you can do
Bridge:
& you'll find someday, when you're singin'
You'll find somehow in your way
& you'll find someday when you're thinkin'
You won't have so much to say
Get up, lay back, take your good look
That's your art form
(instrumental)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat verse 3)
Get up, look out, here's another day
Don't you waste it
There was a time when I thought I would make it
& there was a time when I thought that I knew
But now I find that that same old used-to-be
Is gone & there ain't no easy road
There was a time long ago, do you remember?
We used to have so much fun, so much fun
But now I find that those good ol' days are gone
Oh no there ain't no easy way
(x2):
Don't shed no tears for the hope in your life
They're only faded memories
There was a time when I thought I could change things
There was a time when I thought I could do
But youth was just another day in my life
Oh no there ain't no easy road
Do you ever get offended by the way things never change?
Did you ever try religion but you just get by the pain?
There's gonna be a showdown, gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown comin' 'round right here
Did you ever meet a beggar that was once a rich man's son?
Did you ever see a lady who was gypsy on the run?
There's gonna be a showdown, gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown comin' 'round right here
(instrumental)
Well I know you think I'm crazy & that time just fades away
Well, of this thing I'm certain: see the crossroads every day
There's gonna be a showdown, gonna be a showdown
There's gonna be a showdown, there's gonna be a showdown, yeah
Showdown

I don't wanna go out on Friday night, baby, with the boys
I don't wanna sit around & watch those football games
I don't wanna go out & mess around, no no, on no midnight ride
All I wanna do is lay right here with you
CHORUS:
With your champagne love, with your champagne love
With your champagne love, champagne love
I don't wanna go out on Saturday night, baby; it's my choice
I don't wanna be out chasin, wastin' my time
I don't wanna go out & hang my head down, no, in some funky bar
All I wanna do is lay right here with you
(chorus)
(instrumental, same pattern as verses)
(repeat chorus & fade)
When things go wrong & you keep on tryin'
But the technical don't work out right
You call up the lawyer, but the phone is busy
& you don't get to sleep tonight
Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?
You jump in the car & you head for the highway
But the gate sits some big oh-wee
You find your hotline, but it heats up your last time
& friends own a luxury
Why me? Why me? Why me? Why me?
Bridge:
I fought the pack off a silver dollar, but the silver just turned to
gold
I fought the law with a Dennis Holler, but they pulled me back away
You find yourself in the midst of the crossroads
With the lights all turning red
Right in the pocket, right in the south
The purse, it drops on your hand
Why me? Why me? Why me? Oh why me?
("uh huh huh" scat singing)
(repeat bridge)
Well, you go your way & I go my way
The world keeps spinnin' 'round
You got the answer in your big back-a pocket
Just start puttin' in down
Why me? Why me? Why me? Oh why me?
I know, you know, why me?
(instrumental)
(repeat title & fade)
I'm real real gone
I got hit by a bow & arrow
It got me down to the very narrow
You're a friend of mine & ooo I'm real real gone
Oh the radio, music comin' in here, the Sam Coe's voice
Well I know I don't have any choice
Just the way it is & I'm real, I'm real, real real gone
I can't stand up by myself
Don't you know babe, I need your help, hey
You're a friend of mine & I'm real, I'm real real gone
(repeat verse 1)
Some people say that you can make it on your own
They say you can make it if you try
But I know better now, you can't stand up alone
Baby baby, that is why I'm real real gone
Well I'm dancin', dancin' till my, till my my body's soakin' wet
Till I'm completely filled with sweat, hey
Once I start it I'm just, I'm just real, real real gone
(repeat verse 1)
Well the music's playin' on the radio
Oh but I can't dance & stare in space
When my feet get tipsy, touch your face
You're a friend of mine & ooo I'm real real gone
Help me stand up, help me stand up all by myself
You're a friend of mine & ooo I'm real real gone
...& fade
Her name (Tricia) Tricia Suzanne
I said her name (Tricia) Tricia Suzanne
& if anybody would've told me just 3 short months ago
That I would ever fall in love again
& then one day she came my way
Down on Main Street, down on Main Street
Down in WC, way down in WC
Oh baby, what you do to me
Her name (Tricia) Tricia Suzanne
(instrumental)
Her name (Tricia) Tricia Suzanne
I said her name (Tricia) Tricia Suzanne
I said her name, name, name, name, name, Tricia Suzanne
I said her name, name, name, name, name, Tricia Suzanne

When it's over & the smoke clears, I'll be standin'
When the last card's been dealt from this deck
When the last shot's been fired through the haze of all this mess
I'll be ready for what I've come to expect
CHORUS:
So deal it out (deal it out) deal it out (deal it out)
Deal it out (deal it out) deal it out (deal it out)
Deal it out (deal it out) deal it out (deal it out)
Deal it out (deal it out) deal it out (deal it out) deal it out
When it's over & the smoke clears, I'll be standin'
When the last word, last steel turn to dust
When the last move's been made in this game of life & death
I'll remember who I know I can trust
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(repeat verse 1)
(repeat chorus & fade)
Open the window & let in the mornin' light
I stand here alone & think of the lonely night
I remember the fight that we had
Why did I treat you so bad?
I feel so empty now without you
I looked at the sky & noticed a shade of blue
Makes me think of your eyes & wish I was holding you
When I think of the plans that we made
& all the dues that we paid
Life is so empty now without you
Bridge:
I go to the phone & I dial your number again
But it rings & it rings till it drops from my tremblin' hand
I put it back on the stand &
Look at your picture again
Open the window & let in the mornin' light
I stand here alone & think of the lonely night
When will I see you again?
Have I lost my only friend?
Life is so empty now without you
Life is so empty now without you
(instrumental)
(repeat bridge)
(repeat verse 3)
I like my coffee in the mornin', crazy 'bout my tea at night
I like my coffee in the mornin', crazy 'bout my tea at night
Don't get my sugar 3 times a day, ah you know I don't feel right
Oh I know my hound dog when I hear him bark
Oh I know my hound dog when I hear him bark
& I know my baby when I feel her in the dark
CHORUS (x4):
You move me, you move me, you move me, you move me baby
Well I'm here & I'm ready, baby; your move
Have my bags by my knees, you know I'm ready to groove
Even though I'm tired, I'm wearin', wastin' the wall
Well I just can't seem, I just can't seem to leave you alone
You know why
(chorus x4)
(instrumental)
Well I'm a big kind of guy, you know I like to keep things new
Well I'm a big kind of guy, you know I like to keep things new
But I love you baby, when you call me the Loveable Q
(chorus x7)
Some people say I'm a brother's shadow
But that don't matter to me
Some people say I'm a brother's love
But that don't matter to me
For the secret (secret) that you'd really like to know
For the secret that you'd really like to know
You don't understand, but I can't forgive you
& I hold a grudge for you
You don't understand how I can be happy
While you lock into your tears
For the secret (secret), bet you'd like to read my mind
For the secret, bet you'd like to read my mind
(instrumental)
I had a dream 'bout the perfect woman
A-knock, knockin' on my door
I had a dream, but I was asleep
She's comin' back for more
For the secret (secret), my baby's comin' home tonight
For the secret, my baby's comin' home tonight (x4)
My baby's comin' home tonight
My baby, my baby, my baby

The moon is a silvery speck in the sky
The stars are shining bright
The breeze is blowin' along on my face
Oh what a beautiful night
My love is standing close by my side
I smell her sweet perfume
Her hair is glowing soft in the light
A beautiful night in June
Bridge:
Summer was made for lovers, I know
With all of its flowers in bloom
All of my mem'ries of summer, it seems
Are sweet as this night in June
The sound of the crickets trills in the night
The sound of the warm wipporwill
Fills up the air with a musical knife
& gives my heart a thrill
& leaves me with such a thrill
("la la la" scat singing, same pattern as verses)
(repeat bridge)
This is the season when warmth fills the air
So long as the summer is here
(x2):
Promise is made on this warm summer night
Make it summertime all of the year
(instrumental, concluding with sound effect of rainfall & long hold of organ on D)
Angel came to me late last night in my dreams
& she said that things are not always what they seem
Then she told me coincidence is more than a lucky chess
It's a sign, it's a way to see into the light
CHORUS:
Everything happened for a reason
Every path you follow takes you down that line
You've got your destination, I've got mine
I've got mine, yes I do
She took me on a trip to the land where the children run the show
She took me by the hand & led me down through the desert &
the snow
When I opened up my eyes, my surprise was to look at the simple truth
There's a path you can follow if you open up your heart
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus)
Angel took me home, I awoke, there were flowers on my bed
My lady pulled me close, & this too kept floating through my head

Riding on the rainbow carousel
Money Buys It (Funky Side Of Town)
Love lives, love gives
Money buys it on the funky side of town
Some walk, some talk
Money buys it on the funky side of town
You get the urge to buy it
Could there be love inside it?
Watch out, for she'll get to you 'cause...
Love lives, love gives
Money buys it on the funky side of town
Some walk, some talk
Some do it on the funky side of town
Just when you think you know it
That's when you can't control it
Watch out, for she'll get to you 'cause...
Long green leadin' me
Rollin' in & out from every side of town
Cold cash breaks the stash
Comin' down from every part of town
(instrumental)
Love lives, love gives
Money buys it on the funky side of town
Some walk, some talk
Money buys it on the funky side of town
Love lives, love gives
Money buys it on the funky side of town
One in a million, baby she's my video girl
True as a rainbow, baby she's my video girl
Straight as an arrow, baby she's my video girl
Video girl, video girl, video girl, oh yeah
She's my starlight production, baby she's my video girl
& she's my Madison Square Garden, baby she's my video girl
& she's my night on the town in Paris, baby she's my video girl
Video girl, video girl, video girl, oh yeah
(instrumental)
She can change my channel with a flick of her finger
Turn my hue from red to green
She can change my program any time she wants to
The most exciting woman I've ever seen
One in a million, baby she's my video girl
She has the face of an angel, baby she's my video girl
& she's the kind that you'd marry, baby she's my video girl
Video girl, video girl, video girl, oh yeah
(instrumental)
(repeat & fade):
Video girl, video girl, video girl, oh yeah
Went to my lover, Lord, baby just to take a ride
You know, outside it's a beautiful day
We went walkin', Lord, baby by the riverside
She blew my mind in a beautiful way, yes she did
CHORUS:
W-O-M-A-N (Woman of the Year)
(repeat chorus twice)
She brings me red roses, fine wine in the summertime
She brings me up in a time I'm down
She brings me strawberries with my cherries in a Cadillac car
She keeps my mind in the finer part of town, yes she does
(chorus, x3)
(instrumental)
When we get rich, Lord, baby I'll buy her the moon & stars
To match the sunshine in her hair
I owe her so much for the way I am today
She makes me feel like I'm a millionaire
(chorus, x6)
Used to be my life was filled with rainbows
Then you walked away & the world came down on me
Something inside of me tells me you want to be free
Till I can't help but feel the...
CHORUS:
Teardrops, teardrops fallin' from my eyes
Teardrops, teardops, no more to disguise
Teardrops, teardrops fallin' from my eyes
Over you, over you
Used to be my life was filled with daydreams
Then you turned away & shattered every little dream I had
If you used to be so nice, now your love is colder than ice
& I never had a clue 'bout...
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Someday I hope that soon
I'm gonna live by the light of the moon
I'll no longer be the one with...
(chorus, with "over you" x8)
I, I look at you & you look at me
& we both know that we've been here before
Head, head over heels, that's how you make me feel
I'm so far gone 'cause we've been here before
No other love will ever do
No other love could be like you, baby
You are the only one that I could ever feel this way about, it's true
Let's fall in love
(repeat everything above)
(repeat 1st 2 lines of song)
CHORUS:
Wo wo wo
Sometimes I think the 60s were better
We were all bound together, I thought that was true
& I know we can't go back
Yes I know we can't go back
But we'd better make sure that we never forget
Every generation thinks they've got the answer
Every generation thinks they've got the news
All I ever hear is Iran, coke & Nicaragua
We go round in circles just like monkeys in a zoo
(chorus)
I used to be against the war when I was younger
I used to carry signs that said "Love peace today"
All the little children that I'd meet, I'd tell them
"Just take all the guns & bombs & throw them all away"
(chorus)
(chorus, with instrumental taking place of lines 3 & 4)
(repeat chorus & fade)
There can be no rain without the sun
There can be no love if it's on the run
Can you stand the weight, the unbearable lightness of being?
There can be no day without a night
There can be no left without a right
Can you stand the weight, the unbearable lightness of being?
(instrumental)
Will the politician turn your mind around
Will you give it up or will you stand your ground?
Can you feel the heat, the unbearable lightness of being?
Goin' to California used to be this way
Savin' her rejection for another day
Can you stand the weight, the unbearable lightness of being?
