Captain Lou (Anderson/Adams)

Some say the man’s not wrapped too tight
(Captain Lou, Captain Lou, Captain Lou)
But when he’s on the scene, everything’s all right
(Captain Lou, Captain Lou Albano)
With the man of a thousand faces
I know we’d be goin’ places (hey!)
I’m gonna stick with the guiding light
(Captain Lou, Captain Lou Albano)

Lou don’t worry ‘cause it’s figured in
(Captain Lou, Captain Lou, Captain Lou)
And he’s got sharp teeth like Rin Tin Tin
(Captain Lou, Captain Lou Albano)
With the man of a thousand faces
I know we’d be goin’ places (hey!)
We’ll stick with the light through thick and thin
(Captain Lou, Captain Lou Albano)

I Don’t Think Of... (Spampinato)

I don’t think of
The things I could be missin’
‘Cause all I think I’ll ever want’s been given

Could this be love?
I feel like I’m in heaven
And all I do is thank the Lord I’m livin’

Ahh, la la la la la la-a la
Ahh, ah ah ah ahh ah ah

Ahh, la la la la la la-a la
Ahh, ah ah ah ahh ah ah

I don’t know why
You think you should be leavin’
When everything we do could be so pleasin’

As time goes by
Surely find there’s reason
For everyone to love and I ain’t teasin’

Ahh, la la la la la la-a la
Ahh, ah ah ah ahh ah ah
Ahh, la la la la la la-a la
Ahh, ah ah ah ahh ah ah


Proctor’s Gamble (Adams)

Jondeline
On her swing
Came on out and went back in

Ninety gay
Broadway play
Took a brick and hit the hay

Will is frame
Bernie too
Don’t you think he’s good to you

Buck in brains
Spic in Spain
All above your window’s pane

(French ... maybe ... I don’t know)

(whistle)

Leisha pink
Wink-a-dink
Way Con Ed to elephoo

Esconday
See you pray
Pluck a luck ‘til break of day

Whassa bread
On your head
Bill a delta ‘til it’s said

All the way
Be a bay
Then we know you own the way

E aqui
Tell the trees
When you want to contact me


You Got It (Adams)

You want somethin’ hot
You got it
Anything you want
You got it
I’m the one that got you in
I fuss with them through thick and thin
About you

Show me just one club you’re in
What’ll you tell your next of kin
I was tossin’ all night long
Wishin’ I could play ping pong
With you

You want somethin’ hot
Baby you got it
Anything you want
You got it
I’m the one that got you in
I fuss with them through thick and thin
About you
All about you
All about you
All about you

Big Goodbyes (Adams)

I ain’t no fool you know that’s true
You know I don’t want to hurt you
I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do

Sometimes I think I’m goin’ crazy
When I just divide you by three
I ain’t no good when there’s no me

Come over here and let me hold you
I can’t deny I still love you

Sometimes my love just goes in circles
And if you’re nice I’ll be nice too
I just ain’t sure what I’m supposed to do

Come over here I want to hold you
I just can’t say I don’t love you

Big goodbyes you know don’t come that easy
But mum wordin’ ‘round just ain’t no style
A new hello’s ‘bout to drive me wild
A new hello’s ‘bout to drive me wild babe


Tex (Anderson/Spampinato)

Pretty Thing (Adams)

I love you
You purty thing
I want to
Buy you a ring
I love you
You sweet lil’ thing
I want to
Just make it plain

I just like the looks of you
‘Cause you’re little and you’re small
And when I stand beside you
I feel so big and tall

I love you
You purty thing
I want to
Buy you a ring
I love you
You sweet lil’ thing
I want to
Just make it plain

Ever’ time I want to talk
I can’t find the words to speak
And even if I oughta walk
I can’t find my feet

I love you
You purty thing
I want to
Buy you a ring
I love you
You sweet lil’ thing
I want to
Just make it plain

Tell her how purty she is

I said I love you
You purty thing
I want to
Buy you a ring
Yes I love you
You sweet lil’ thing
I want to
Just make it plain


Dry Up And Blow Away (D. Adams)

I’ll tell you a story
And you’ll know it’s the truth
The tears in my eyes
Should serve as the proof

I feel so bad
When I think about the past
Whenever there’s some good times
I know they’ll never last

My life has been so sad
My luck has been so bad
Sometimes I wish I’d dry up
And then I’d blow away
And then I’d blow away

Daddy’s always drunk
His eyes are shot with red
He worried my poor Mother dear
‘Til she fell over dead

My sister’s on the street
In some shameful trade
I never get to see her
‘Cause I can’t afford to pay

My brother went off to war
And never came back no more
Sometimes I wish I’d dry up
And then I’d blow away
And then I’d blow away

Got laid off from my job
Third one this year
And them welfare checks don’t pay enough
To buy yourself beer

Whenever I see a bridge
I think of jumpin’ off
Maybe that would be the peace
That I have always sought

Death’s what I deserve
But I haven’t got the nerve
Sometimes I wish I’d dry up
And then I’d blow away
And then I’d blow away

Doh be doo doo
A doo doo doo be doo doo
Yeayeayeayeayeayeayeayeayeayeahoo
Oomoomoomoomoom
Uhihoom uhihoom
Uhuhuhuhuhuhum


Come On And Ride (Adams)

Ah, one more boy
Oww

Oh baby
Come on and ride in my car
Oh baby now
Come on and ride in my car
Just give me a couple of minutes
I’ll prove who I are
All right here I go now

Aahh get on over here baby


Capriccio (from Clavier-Uebung) (Bach)

One two get it now

That’s it


The Dough Got Low (Adams)

I used to play poker
Ride aeroplanes
And take my little baby to a show
Stay out all night
Until I felt right
And never did she ever say no

Used to drive
My automobile
And take everybody for a spin
Now if it happens
That I get to go out
I turn her right around and come in

The dough got low
(The price went high)
The dough got low
Everybody know
The old boy got to have the dough

All my suits
Were once tailor-made
Everything fit me just right
But now my pants
Are all too big
And all my shirts too tight

There was a time
When I had juice
I’d give everybody a taste
But now if’n
I get lucky to cop
I ain’t got a drop to waste

The dough got low
(The price went high)
Well the dough got low
Everybody knows
The old boy got to have the dough

Once’t I had me
A great big boat
I’d sail it when I’s in the mood
But now if you ever
Catch me afloat
It’ll be in an innertube

I ain’t lyin’
I was head loose
I had me a great big stash
But now instead of
Cashin’ my checks
I’m always checkin’ my cash

‘Cause the dough got low
(I can’t get high)
The dough got low
Everybody know
The old boy got to have the dough
The dough got low
(The price went high)
The dough got low
Everybody knows
The old boy got to have the dough
The old boy’s got to have the dough
