- An Old Fashioned Love Song
Just an old fashioned love song
Playing on the radio
And wrapped around the music
is the sound of someone promising they'll never go.
You'll swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on.
No need in bringing em back
Cause they've never really gone.
- Celebrate
Slippin' away, sittin' on a pillow
Waitin' for night to fall
A girl and a dream, sittin' on a pillow
This is the night to go to the celebrity ball
Satin and lace, isn't it a pity
Didn't find time to call
Ready or not, gonna make it to the city
- Chained
Free like a bird as it flies,
Free like an old man that dies,
Just like a stream or a rose growing wild,
Somewhere there's someone walkin' the road
Somewhere someone who carries a load,
Don't look too far to see somewhere there's a man.
Chained, chained, chained, chained.
- I Can Hear You Calling
I can hear you callin', callin' my name out loud.
Know that makes me wonder; used to be so proud.
Sudden realization goin' need me now, that's why.
I can hear you callin' me and so I'm tellin' you goodbye.
Don't expect no answer I'm tellin' you goodbye.
I can hear you callin'.
We can't get together, think you're just too good.
- Joy To The World
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'...
Joy to the world
- Mama Told Me Not To Come
What's all these crazy questions you're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights `cause I don't wanna see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't to have fun, no, uh-uh
- Never Been To Spain
Well I never been to Spain
But I kind like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it
- Old Fashioned Love Song
Just an old-fashioned love song playin' on the radio
And wrapped around the music is the sound
Of someone promising they'll never go
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringin' `em back,
`Cause they're never really gone
- One
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the lonliest number since the number o-o-one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Oh-oh-oh
'Cause, one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
- One Is The Loneliest Number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
- Shambala
Wash away my trouble, wash away my pain
With the rain of Shambala
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame
With the rain of Shambala
(chorus)
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
- Singer Man
Singer man, sing me a song
Singer man, sing me a song
My singer man, you sing me a song
Singer man (I hear you singing) sweet harmony
I hear you singing (Singer man) Sweet harmony
Singer man, singer man, singer man sweet harmony
To win one soul, to win one soul, to win one soul

- Yellow Beach Umbrella
When I am a flyer, I'll fly down to Miami,
Get a room in one of those big resort hotels.
Nobody there will ever get to know me well.
Nobody there will ever get to know me well.
I'll be just another yellow beach umbrella
On the shore of the southern sea.
I will be a mystery to everyone.
- You
You, you I see in my mirror in the morning
Instead of seeing me I see you
I see your face,
Inside me is a growing need for your embrace
