Nice choice, Gracie. I thought someone would come up with "La Cucaracha". This is even better.
Can we change the Neil Sedaka lyric to "Waking Up is Hard to Do" ?

Nice choice, Gracie. I thought someone would come up with "La Cucaracha". This is even better. Can we change the Neil Sedaka lyric to "Waking Up is Hard to Do" ? Seriously, I think we can. I have sung this song to my pups for years and years. I guess if it's not acceptable, then you come up with something better.They say that waking up is hard to do And now I know, I know that it's true Don't say that this is the morn Instead of waking up I wish that I were going to sleep again! I beg of you, don't close your eyes don't open your mouth and start to cry Come on baby, let's be awake Waking up is hard to do Yeah, waking up is hard to do. I'm not serious. I'll find something better.

A Bryan Adams song
House Arrest
Well there's gonna be a party gonna make some noise Yeah we're invitin' all the girls - invitin' all the boys There'll be dancin' on the tables dancin' on the chairs Ya there'll be dancin' in the parkin' lots And up and down the stairs - alright Close the windows - lock the doors Turn it up now - pack the floors Cops are on the outside - landlord's on the phone Quick turn out all the lights Pretend there ain't nobody home!
It's a house arrest - everybody run I gotta plead guilty havin' - too much fun This is a house arrest - up against the wall We can't stop rockin' justa havin' a ball - One and all
Won't you come around to my place Don't cha know it's overdue You gotta bring your little lady wear your dancin' shoes Get a Yellow TAXI - take a limousine You gotta get there - it's gonna be a scene it's too late can't wait - get out while you can It was fun while it lasted let's do it all again
It's a house arrest - everybody run I gotta plead guilty havin' - too much fun This is a house arrest - up against the wall We can't stop rockin' justa havin' a ball One and all
We bin wakin' up the neighbours Bouncin' off the walls Hangin' off the ceilings We'll be dancin' in and out of the halls!
This is a house arrest everybody move Gotta plead guilty gonna raise the roof This is a house arrest...!

Well, that was a gimme, and extra points, too.
They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique and a swinging hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
They took all the trees And put them in a tree MUSEUM And they charged all the people A dollar and a half to see 'em Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And they put up a parking lot
Hey farmer farmer Put away that D.D.T. now Give me spots on my apples But leave me the birds and the bees Please! Dont it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot
Late last night I heard the screen door slam And a big yellow taxi Took away my old man Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot

I was a stranger in the city Out of town were the people I knew I had that feeling of self-pity What to do? What to do? What to do? The outlook was decidedly blue But as I walked through the foggy streets alone It turned out to be the luckiest day I've known
A foggy day in London Town Had me low and had me down I viewed the morning with alarm The British Museum had lost its charm How long, I wondered, could this thing last? But the age of miracles hadn't passed, For, suddenly, I saw you there And through foggy London Town The sun was shining everywhere.

A lovely song by James Taylor -
Listen to me and I'll sing you a song and the time will go by till you never know where it's gone. Talk to me and I'll tell you my life story. Walk with me and I'll tell you my dreams of glory. There we are walking hand in hand, somewhere on the sand at the end of the land and the edge of the shining sea.
DRIFTING through time and space on the face of a little blue ball falling around the sun. One in a million, billion twinkling lights shining out for no one in the middle of the night. Here we are, sparks in the darkness, speaking of our love burning down forever and forever.
Oh, I don't know if I told you, but you hold my heart in your hand. And I found out something about you, baby, without you. I'm a lonely man.
So though I never say that I love you, I love you, darling I do, Carly, I do love you. And though we are as nothing to the stars that shine above, you are my universe, you are my love. Here we are, like children forever, taking care of one another while the world goes on without us, all around us.

Sadness slips into the room On silent steps of sorrow Stealing sleep and all my dreams Where will we be tomorrow?
Lying with you, crying with you, drifting Talking till dawn yet we go on, drifting Don't understand where we began just drifting apart Drifting apart feeling alone drifting away
We can't seem to work it out Drifting from day to day Wasn't it all about, drifting away Drifting away, drifting away
Losing the feeling And now the music of the song is almost gone That we used to play From sweet surrender from drifting away, drifting
Two lovers lost two rivers crossed, drifting Two bridges burned, no lesson learned, drifting Lonely together, hurting each other Still we can't say that it's over Can we bring back yesterday? Will we be forever, forever drifting away Drifting, drifting away

who can think of anything but,
EAGLES LYRICS
"Seven Bridges Road"
There are stars In the Southern sky Southward as you go There is moonlight And moss in the trees Down the Seven Bridges Road
Now I have loved you like a baby Like some lonesome child And I have loved you in a tame way And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me Has to turn from here and go Running like a child from these warm stars Down the Seven Bridges Road
There are stars in the SOUTHERN sky And if ever you decide You should go There is a taste of time sweetened honey Down the Seven Bridges Road

Ooooooooooooooooooooh I LOVE that one. AND how they harmonize on it.
And I love, equally, this one....for the same reason.
Got out of town on a boat for the southern islands Sailing a reach before a following sea; She was makin' for the trades on the outside and the downhill run to Papeete-- Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas, We got eighty feet of waterline Nicely making way; In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you, But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away...
Think about how many times I have fallen, Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'; What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten, I have been around the world; Looking for that woman girl, Who knows love can endure-- And you know it will. And you know it will.
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time, You understand now why you came this way; 'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small, But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day--
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin', And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain; I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin', She is all that I have left and music is her name--
Think about how many times I have fallen, Spirits are using me, larger voices callin', What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten; I have been around the world, Lookin' for that woman girl, who knows love can endure-- And you know it will. And you know it will.
So we cheated and we lied and we tested , And we never failed to fail, It was the easiest thing to do-- You will survive being bested, Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you.... And the Southern Cross....
I'm never out on the water that I don't think of this one....

Silver Bells Alan Jackson (Jay Livingston/Ray Evans)
Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks Dressed in holiday style In the air There's a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing People passing Meeting smile after smile And on ev'ry street corner you'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
Strings of street lights Even STOP lights Blink a bright red and green As the shoppers rush home with their treasures
Hear the snow crunch See the kids bunch This is Santa's big scene And above all this bustle You'll hear
Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day
Silver bells, silver bells It's Christmas time in the city Ring-a-ling, hear them ring Soon it will be Christmas day...

From the Hollies:
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say Please share my UMBRELLA Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it Wind and rain and shine That umbrella, we employed it By August, she was mine
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought Other people stared as if we were both quite insane Someday my name and hers are going to be the same
That's the way the whole thing started Silly but it's true Thinkin' of a sweet romance Beginning in a queue
Came the sun the ice was melting No more sheltering now Nice to think that that umbrella Led me to a vow
Every morning I would see her waiting at the stop Sometimes she'd shopped and she would show me what she bought Other people stared as if we were both quite insane Someday my name and hers are going to be the same
Bus stop, wet day, she's there, I say Please share my umbrella Bus stop, bus goes, she stays, love grows Under my umbrella
All that summer we enjoyed it Wind and rain and shine That umbrella, we employed it By August, she was mine

How's this??? Strolling along country roads with my baby It starts to rain, it begins to pour Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin I feel a shiver run up my spine I feel the warmth of her hand in mine Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside After a while we run under a tree I turn to her and she kisses me There with the beat of the rain on the leaves Softly she breathes and I close my eyes Sharing our love under stormy skies Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside I feel the warmth of her hand in mine.... Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside Oo, I hear laughter in the rain Walking hand in hand with the one I love Oo, how I love the rainy days And the happy way I feel inside.... This song was on the charts when I was in 8th grade, and my first boyfriend was walking me home from school when it started to rain. And he started SINGING this to me as we ran for a tree....and yes, we sat there and watched it rain, oh, it smelled so good, like spring rain does...and he kissed me. First kiss. In the rain. Some things are immortal. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Sweet Transvestite (from Rocky Horror Picture Show)
How d'you do, I see you've met my faithful handyman He's just a little brought down because when you knocked He thought you were the candyman. Don't get strung out by the way that I look, Don't judge a book by its cover I'm not much of a man by the light of day, But by night I'm one hell of a lover
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.
So let me show you around, maybe play you a sound You look like you're both pretty groovy Or if you want something visual that's not too abysmal We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie.
I'm glad we caught you at home, could we use your phone? We're both in a bit of a hurry. We'll just say where we are, then go back to the car We don't want to be any worry.
So you got caught with a flat, well, how about that? Well babies, don't you panic. By the light of the night when it all seems alright I'll get you a satanic mechanic.
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.
So why don't you stay for the night? Or maybe a bite? I could show you my favourite obsession. I've been making a man with blond hair and a tan And he's good for relieving my tension
I'm just a Sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.
So come up to the lab. And see what's on the slab. I see you shiver with antici... pation! But maybe the rain isn't really to blame So I'll remove the cause, but not the symptom.

Well, I'll just be a smarty-pants and do both: ![:o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/shocked.png) I lie awake at night Listening to you sleeping I hear the darkness breathe And the rain against the window After all this time Cynical and JADED All the stones are diamonds All the blues are faded Everything I've been through All I've seen and heard Spent so much of my life In the spiritual third world But you came and brought the rain here Something waiting to happen Something learning to fly We can talk without talking From inside to inside I have waited to feel this For the whole of my life We took ourselves apart We talked about our faces You said you didn't like yours I said I disagree I keep the pieces separate I clutch them in my coat A jogsaw of an angel I can do when I feel low From emptiness and dryness The famine of our days Watch the heaves open Wash it all away You came and brought the rain here Something waiting to happen Something learning to fly On the edge of exploding Something wild and alive Something waiting to happen Anytime that you like I have waited to feel this For the whole of my life

Up aloft amid the rigging Swiftly blows the loud favouring gale Strong as springtime in its blossom, Filling out each swelling sail
And the waves we leave behind us Seem to murmur as they rise, We have tarried here to bear you, To the land you dearly prize.
Refrain: Rolling home, rolling home, Rolling home across the sea; Rolling home to dear old England Rolling home, dear land to thee!
2. Full ten thousand miles behind us, And a thousand miles before, Ancient ocean waves to waft us To the well-remembered shore.
Cheer up Jack, bright smiles await you From the fairest of the fair And her loving eyes will greet you With kind welcomes everywhere Refrain:
3. Call all hands to man the capstan See the cable run down clear Heave away and with a will boys For old England we will steer
And we'll sing in joyful chorus In the watches of the night And we'll sight the shores of England When the grey dawn brings the light Refrain:
4. Call all hands to man the capstan See the cable flaked down clear. Heave away, and with a will, boys, For ol' England we will steer.
Now Australia we are leavin' For Old England give a cheer, Fare thee well, ye dark-eyed damsels Give three cheers for English beer!
Refrain: Rolling home, rolling home Rolling home across the sea, Rolling home to dear ol' England Rolling home, fair land to thee.
5. Goodbye Heads, we're bound to leave you Haul the tow-rope all inboard, We will leave old Aussie sternward Clap all sail we can afford.
Round Cape Horn on a winter's morning Now among the ice and snow, You will hear our shellbacks singin' Sheet her home, boys, let 'er go! Refrain:
6. Eighteen months away from England Only fifty days, no more, On salt horse and cracker-hash, boys Boston beans that make us sore.
Now the Lizard Light's a-shinin' And we're bound up to the Nore, With the canvas full an' drawin' Soon we'll be on England's shore. Refrain:

Get Wild Prince lyrics Artist: Prince Album: Exodus Year: 1995
Get wild! Ah! Get wild! Ooh, ooh, baby! Get wild! {x4}
When U're sick of that 9 2 5 And U're ready 2 come alive When U look both high and low And U can't find a trumpet that blows
Come on baby (Aw shucks!), where the good times never die Come on baby (Aw shucks!), where the damsels good and fly Come on baby, U can shake your funky monkey 'til it cry Polyvinyl acetate will keep your MONKEY high If U wanna get real freaky, now's the time 2 try (Come on y'all)
CHORUS: Get wild! - Everybody up in the place Get wild! - It don't matter what sex or race Get wild! - All U nasty girls and boys If U wanna get wild, say yeah (Yeah!) - Make some noise!
When U want 2 get in the groove But the music don't make U move Hip the DJ 2 a new CD Anything by the N.P.G.
Come on baby (Aw shucks!), where the good times never die Come on baby (Aw shucks!), where the damsels good and fly Come on baby, U can shake your funky monkey 'til it cry Polyvinyl acetate will keep your monkey high If U wanna get real freaky, now's the time 2 try (Come on y'all)
CHORUS
Get wild! Like U know U need 2 Pick a funky outfit short and see through Versace got it going on in the gold mesh Why don't U try it on 2 night when U get dressed? Get Wild's the only aroma that my nose will see (Get wild!) Why don't U spray a little where U think I'm gonna be? And U know, U know what shoes 2 wear The ones so high U're scared

Why can't you do it? Why can't you set your monkey free? Always given in to it- Do you love the monkey or do you love me? Why can't you do it- Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
O"h I count to ten But I don't know how and I don't know when To open my eyes If you kiss me again Like you did just know, like you did just then I've had the rest Know it's time I had the best So tell me that you won't do anymore
Well I'd right your heart a letter But I think you know me better If I keep on askin' baby, maybe I'll get what I'm askin' for
Why Can't you do it? Why can't you set your monkey free? Always given in to it- Do you love the monkey or do you love me? Why can't you do it- Why do I have to share my baby with a monkey?
O"h I hate your friends But I don't know how and I don't know when To open your eyes Yes the monkey's back again Do you won't him now like you did back then? I tried my best But your head is such a mess So I guess that I don't want you anymore
Well you say you care about me That you just can't live without me But you keep on dancin' baby Till that monkey has you on the floor
Why can't you do it? Why can't you set your monkey free? Always given in to it- Do you love the Monkey or do you love me?
Don't look now There's a monkey on your back Don't look now There's a monkey on you...
(That was a George Michael hit I think)
