Sign 'O' the Times
In France, a skinny man died of a BIG disease with a little name
By chance his girlfriend came across a needle and soon she did the same
At home there are 17-year-old boys and their idea of fun
Is being in a gang called The Disciples
High on crack and totin' a machine gun

Time
Times

Hurricane Annie ripped the ceiling of a church and killed everyone inside
U turn on the telly and every other story is tellin' U somebody died
A sister killed her baby cuz she couldn't afford 2 feed it
And yet we're sending people 2 the moon
In September, my cousin tried reefer 4 the very first time
Now he's doing horse - it's June

Times
Times

It's silly, no, when a rocket ship explodes and everybody still wants 2 fly
But some say a man ain't happy unless a man truly dies
Oh why?

Time
Time

Baby make a speech, Star Wars fly
Neighbors just shine it on
But if a night falls and a bomb falls
Will anybody see The Dawn?

Time
Times

Is it silly, no, when a rocket blows and everybody still wants 2 fly
Some say a man ain't happy truly until a man truly dies
Oh why, oh why?
Sign 'O' the times

Time
Time

Sign 'O' the times mess with your mind
Hurry before it's 2 late
Let's fall in love, get married, have a baby
We'll call him Nate
If it's a boy

Play in the Sunshine
We wanna play in the sunshine, we wanna be free
Without the help of a margarita or exstacy
We wanna kick like we used 2, sign up on the dotted line
We're gonna dance every dance like it's gonna be the last time

We got 2 play in the sunshine, turn all the lights up 2 10
I wanna meet U (meet U) and kiss U (kiss U)
And love U (love U) and miss U (miss U)
Do it all over again, do it all over again

We're gonna play in the sunshine, we're gonna get over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2night, I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
Before my life is done
Some way (some way), some how (some how) I'm gonna have fun

Play in the sunshine

We gonna love all our enemies 'til the gorilla falls off the wall
We're gonna rock him (Rock him)
We're gonna roll him (Roll him)
We're gonna teach him that love will make him tall (So tall)

Aah, pop goes the music when the big white rabbit begin 2 talk
And the color green will make your best friend leave ya (Walk)
It'll make them do "The Walk," but that's cool (That's cool)
Cuz one day (one day), every day (every day) will be a yellow day, let's play

(Play in the sunshine, we're gonna get over) Over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2night, I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
(Before my life is done) Before my life is done
Some way (some way), some how (some how) I'm gonna have fun

(Play) No!
Now get loose
Play!

We're gonna play in the sunshine, we're gonna get over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2night, I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover
Before my life is done
I'm gonna, some way, some how, have fun

(Play in the sunshine, we're gonna get over)
(I'm feelin' kind of lucky 2night, I'm gonna find my 4-leaf clover)
Before my life is done!
Some way, some how, I just got 2 have fun!

(Play) (Play)
(Play) No!
(Come on, play) No!
(Play) No!
(Play play play) Yeah!

Drummer, do your thing

Drummer, drummer, drummer
Can I get some of that? (Yeah yeah)
Wait a minute
Ha ha

Let's get out of here (Yeah)
(La la la la la, la la la)

We're not afraid 2 (Play in the sunshine)
We are going 2 (Play in the sunshine) (In the sunshine)
(Play in the sunshine)

Tell me who in this house know about the quake? (We do)

If U know how 2 party say "Oh yeah" (Oh yeah)
But if U ain't hip 2 the rare housequake... shut up already, damn!

In your funky town (Housequake)
And the kick drum is the fault

U gotta rock this mother, say (Housequake)... uh
We gotta rock this mother, say (Housequake)... uh, uh

We're gonna show U what 2 do
U put your foot down on the 2
U jump up on the 1
Now U're havin' fun
Huh, U're doin'... the housequake
Hey

Question - Does anybody know about the quake? (Yeah!)
Bullshit!
U can't get off until U make the house shake
Now everybody clap your hands, come on
Let's jam y'all (Let's jam!)
Don't wait 4 your neighbor
Green eggs and ham
Doin' the housequake

There's a brand new groove goin' round
In your city, in your town
Housequake - And the kick drum is the fault

Housequake (Housequake)
Housequake - U gotta rock this mother (U gotta rock this mother)
Housequake
Housequake - U gotta rock this mother down, come on
Housequake

Now that U got it, let's do the twist
A little bit harder than they did in '66
A little bit faster than they did in '67
Twist little sister and go 2 heaven
Come on y'all, we got 2 jam before the police come
A groove this funky is on the run
Hey!

Shake your body till your neighbors stare at cha!
(Quake)

Housequake - Everybody, everybody jump up and down
Housequake - There's a brand new groove (groove) that's goin' around
Housequake - In this city, in this funky town
Housequake - And the saxophone is the fault, check it out

If U can't rock steady, shut up already
Damn, U got 2 get off if U know what I'm talking about
On the 1 y'all say "Housequake"
Top of your body, let me hear U shout, say
(Housequake) My Lord!
(Housequake) My Lord!
(Housequake) Bullshit, louder, say it!
(Housequake) Ooh-wee

Shock-a-lock-a boom!

Everybody, everybody U gotta rock, U gotta rock, come on

We're gonna shake, we're gonna quake
Cuz we got the baddest groove that we could make
We on the 2, y'all, the drummer's gonna tap
We gonna sing it and rock this mother 2 the max
And that's a fact
Housequake - Come on, say it (Housequake)
Come on, U can't follow it
We got the baddest jam in the land
Everybody shut up, listen 2 the band

Housequake

Shut up already, damn!

The Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
She got a lot of tips

Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff in a violent room
Fightin' with lover's past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast

Well, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't 2 hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said - "It sound like a real man 2 me (U're kinda cute)
U're kinda cute, U wanna take a bath?" (Do U wanna, do U wanna?)... Bath?

Oh, I said - "Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on (What U say?)
Cuz I'm kinda goin' with someone"
She said - "Sound like a real man 2 me
Mind if I turn on the radio?"

"Oh, my favorite song," she said
And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling"
(Drring) The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"
Right then and there I knew I was through (Dorothy Parker was cool)

Well

My pants were wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie cuz she hadn't read the book first
Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back 2 the violent room
(Tell us what U did, what U did) Let me tell U what I did

I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
(Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker)
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker

Well
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well
Oh

Starfish and Coffee
It was 7:45, we were all in line 2 greet the teacher Miss Kathleen
First was Kevin, then came Lucy, third in line was me
All of us were ordinary compared 2 Cynthia Rose
She always stood at the back of the line, a smile beneath her nose
Her favorite number was 20 and every single day
If U asked her what she had 4 breakfast, this is what she'd say

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds and a tangerine, a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Cynthia wore the prettiest dress but different color socks
Sometimes I wondered if the mates were in her lunchbox (Oh ooh oh)
Me and Lucy opened it when Cynthia wasn't around (Oh ooh oh)
Lucy cried, I almost died, U know what we found

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine and a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

Starfish and coffee

Cynthia had a happy face, just like the one she draws
On every wall, in every school, but it's alright, it's 4 a worthy cause
Go on, Cynthia!
Keep sayin'...

Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam
Butterscotch clouds, a tangerine and a side order of ham
If U set your mind free, baby, maybe U'd understand
Starfish and coffee, maple syrup and jam

(La la la la...)
Starfish and coffee, love 4 the soul

Slow Love
Young is the night
It feels so right
Now that U're mine
Let's take our time

The man in the moon is smiling
4 he knows what I'm dreaming of
2night is the night 4 making slow love

The gentle breeze
It blows with ease
Let's make it slow
Just like the wind blows

Let's make it last 4ever
4 a hundred times wouldn't be enough
2night is the night 4 making slow love

Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
It's so much better when we take our time

Love's in your eyes (In your eyes)
Eyes never lie
Don't rush the feelin'
U got me reelin'

U can see through race car drivers
Let me show U what I'm made of
2night is the night 4 making slow love

Slow love
So much better when we take it easy
Slow love
It's so much better when we take our time

Forever in My Life
La da da da da da da da

There comes a time in every man's life
When he gets tired of foolin' around
Juggling hearts in a 3-ring circus
Some day drive a body down 2 the ground
I never imagined that love would rain on me
And make me wanna settle down

But baby, it's true, I think I do
And I just wanna tell U that I wanna with U (And baby, if U do 2)
And baby, if U do 2
Oh 4ever, 4ever
Baby, I want U 4ever

All that is wrong in my world, U can make right
(U are my savior, U are my light)
U are my savior, U are my light (4ever I want U in my life)
4ever I want U in my life (La da da da da da da da)
(La da da da da)

(Every man's journey)
There comes a road in every man's journey (Don't be afraid)
A road that he's afraid 2 walk on his own, yeah (I'm at that road)
I'm here 2 tell U that I'm at that road
(And I'd rather walk with U than walk it alone)
And I'd rather walk it with U than walk it alone (U are my future)
U are my hero, U are my future (No past)
When I am with U, I have no past
Oh baby, my one and only desire (Make this feelin' last)
Is find some way in this doggone world 2 make this feelin' last
(Sugar, it's true)

(I know I do)
Oh baby, it's true ... huh, I know I do (Wanna with U)
And I just wanna tell U that I wanna with U, yeah
Baby, if U do 2
Oh 4ever, 4ever

All that's wrong in my world, mama, U can make right

If I Was Your Girlfriend
"Look at the bargains over here, ladies"

If I was your girlfriend, would U remember
2 tell me all the things U forgot when I was your man?
Hey hey, when I was your man

If I was your best friend, would U let me
Take care of U and do all the things that only a best friend can?
Oh, only best friends can

If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend

If I was your girlfriend, would U let me dress U
I mean, help U pick out your clothes before we go out?
Not that U're helpless
But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about

If I was your one and only friend
Would U run 2 me if somebody hurt U even if that somebody was me? Yeah
(Even if that somebody was me?)
Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be... please!

If I was your girlfriend
If I was your girlfriend

Would U let me wash your hair?
Could I make U breakfast sometime?
Well then, could we just hang out
I mean, could we go 2 a movie and cry 2gether?
Cuz 2 me baby, that would be so fine (That would be so fine)

(If I was your girlfriend) {repeat in BG}
Baby, can I dress U
I mean, help U pick out your clothes before we go out?
Listen girl, I ain't sayin U're helpless
But sometime, sometime those are the things that bein' in love's about
(Shoo-do-do) {repeat in BG}
Sugar, do U know what I'm saying 2 U this evening?
Maybe U think I'm being a little self-centered
But I, I said I wanna be all of the things U are 2 me
Surely, surely U can see

(If I was your girlfriend) {repeat in BG}
Is it really necessary 4 me 2 go out of the room
Just because U wanna undress?
We don't have 2 make children 2 make love
And we don't have 2 make love 2 have an orgasm
Your body's what I'm all about
Can I see it?
I'll show U
Why not?
U can do it because I'm your friend
I'd do it 4 U
Of course I'd undress in front of U
And when I'm naked, what shall I do?
How can I make U see that it's cool?
Can't U just trust me?
If I was your girlfriend, U could
Oh yeah, I think so
Listen, 4 U naked I would dance a ballet
Would that get U off?
Tell me what will
If I was your girlfriend, would U tell me?
Would U let me see U naked then?
Would U let me give U a bath?
Would U let me tickle U so hard U'd laugh and laugh
And would U, would U let me kiss U there
U know, down there where it counts
I'll do it so good, I swear I'll drink every ounce
And then I'll hold U tight and hold U long
And 2gether we'll stare into silence

And we'll try 2 imagine what it looks like
Yeah, we'll try 2 imagine what, what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll... we'll try 2 imagine what silence looks like
Yeah, we'll try

More than that, I hate 2 see U sad
Honey, if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship?

The more U love me, sugar, the more it makes me mad

Cuz baby, I just can't stand 2 see U happy
More than that, I hate 2 see U sad
Honey, if U left me I just might do something rash
What's this strange relationship?

I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man
It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay
10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar... mmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah

I asked her if she wanted 2 dance
And she said that all she wanted was a good man
And wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified, yeah

And I said - "Baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified 4 a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man"

It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes
(Tears in her eyes)
He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way, yeah
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay, yeah

She asked me if we could be friends
And I said - "Oh honey, baby, that's a dead end
U know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied, no"

And I said - "Baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
We wouldn't be satisfied (wouldn't be satisfied) with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man"

Yeah, yeah, the place of your man

The Cross
Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, He is coming
Don't die without knowing the Cross

Ghettos 2 the left of us
Flowers 2 the right
There'll be bread 4 all of us
If we can just bear the Cross

Sweet song of salvation
A pregnant mother sings
She lives in starvation
Her children need all that she brings

We all have our problems
Some BIG, some are small
Soon all of our problems
Will be taken by the Cross

Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, 4 He's coming
Don't die without knowing the Cross, y'all

Ghettos 2 the left of us
Flowers 2 the right
There'll be bread 4 all y'all
If we can just, just bear the Cross, yeah

We all have our own problems
Some are BIG, some are small
Soon all of our problems, y'all
Will be taken by the Cross, y'all

The Cross!

It's gonna be a beautiful, it's gonna be a beautiful night, oh
2 times

We are beautiful, it's gonna be a beautiful night
(Paris, one more time)

Oh wee oh! Say it (Oh wee oh, oh oh)
It's gonna be a beautiful, it's gonna be a beautiful night, oh
Relax y'all, yeah (Oh wee oh, oh oh)
It's gonna be a beautiful, it's gonna be a beautiful night
Just the drums, just the drums
Bobby

(Oh wee oh, oh oh)

Everybody get way down, 2night we're gonna ball
2night we're gonna get the bomb, y'all - I'm talkin' about the Detroit crawl

Everybody in the west, everybody in the east
When I'm mad I'll get ya with my chicken grease - get with it

(One more!)

Are U ready Paris? Soul clap
Ah yeah, ah yeah
Gimme the bass, gimme the bass one time

{Poem by Edward Lear titled "The Table and the Chair"}

I.
Said the Table 2 the Chair
"U can hardly be aware
How I suffer from the heat
And from chilblains on my feet"
"If we took a little walk
We might have a little talk
Pray let us take the air"
Said the Table 2 the Chair
(Can't nobody fuck with us)

II.
Said the Chair unto the Table
"Now U know we are not able
How foolishly U talk
When U know we cannot walk"
Said the Table with a sigh
"It can do no harm 2 try
I've as many legs as U
Why can't we walk on 2?" (Say...)

III.
So they both went slowly down
And walked about the town
With a cheerful bumpy sound
As they toddled round and round
And everybody cried
As they hastened 2 their side
"See! The Table and the Chair
Have come 2 take the air"
(Paris, y'all, can't nobody...) (Say it y'all)

IV.
But in going down an alley
2 a castle in the valley
They completely lost their way
And wandered all the day
Till, 2 see them safely back
They paid a Ducky-quack
And a Beetle, and a Mouse
Who took them 2 their house

V.
When they whispered 2 each other
"O delightful little brother
What a lovely walk we've taken
Let us dine on Beans and Bacon"
So the Ducky, and the leetle (Say it, y'all)
Browny-Mousey and the Beetle
Dined, and danced upon their heads
Till they toddled 2 their beds

Good God, uh!

(Can't nobody fuck with us)
What?

Revolution, break it way down low
Beautiful night, y'all say it (Beautiful night)
Oh, beautiful night, y'all say it (Beautiful night)
Say what, beautiful night, y'all say it (Beautiful night)
Yeah, beautiful night, y'all say it (Beautiful night)

Come on
Oh wee oh, oh oh! Say it (Oh wee oh, oh oh)
Say it loud, y'all (Oh wee oh, oh oh)
Miko, Miko, hit me in the back
Fellas

Beautiful night, y'all say it
It's gonna be a beautiful night, y'all say it
Everybody feeling alright, y'all say it
Say, it's gonna be a beautiful night, y'all say it
Everybody, oh wee oh, oh oh
Say it, oh wee oh, oh oh
Say it (Oh wee oh, oh oh)
(Oh wee oh, oh oh)
Give me the horns again
Keep singin' y'all
Everybody clap your hands
Everybody, groove, come on

Confusion!

Adore
Ooh, baby
Darlin', U're the best, oh girl

Until the end of time, I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart and mind, I truly adore U
If God one day struck me blind, your beauty I'd still see
Love's 2 weak 2 define just what U mean 2 me

From the first moment I saw U
Ooh, I knew U were the one
That night I had 2 call U
I was rappin' till the sun came up
Tellin' U just how fine U look
In a word, U were sex
All of my cool attitude U took
My body was next
U made love 2 me
Like U were afraid
Was U afraid of me?
Was I the first?
Was I your every fantasy?
That's why...

Until the end of time, I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart and mind, I truly adore U
If God one day struck me blind, your beauty I'd still see
Love's 2 weak 2 define just what U mean 2 me

When we be makin' love
I only hear the sounds
Heavenly angels crying above
Tears of joy pourin' down on us
They know we need each other
They know U are my fix (Cuz U know)
I know that U know I ain't cheatin' baby (I ain't cheatin' on U, baby)
They know this is serious
I ain't fuckin' just 4 kicks
No, this condition I got is crucial, crucial baby
U could say that I'm a terminal case
U could burn up my clothes (U could burn up my clothes)
Smash up my ride (U could smash up..)
Well, maybe not the ride
But I got 2 have your face all up in the place (Do U think?)
I'd like 2 think that I'm a man of exquisite taste
(I'm a man of exquisite taste)
A hundred percent Italian silk imported Egyptian lace
Nothin' baby, I said nothin' baby could compare (Nothin' could compare)
2 your lovely face (2 your lovely face)
Do U know what I'm sayin' 2 U this evening? (What U sayin' about?)
Tryin' tryin' 2 say (I hear what your sayin')
Just tryin' 2 say that until
Till the end of time, I'll be there 4 U

I'll be there 4 U
U own my heart, U own my mind (Truly adore U)
I truly adore U (Darlin')
U don't know what U mean 2 me, baby
(Until the end of time, I'll be there 4 U)
Baby, baby
(U own my heart and mind, I truly adore U)
Till the end of time I'll be there 4 U
(Adore U)

Can I talk 2 U, tell U what U mean 2 me?
Everytime U wander, I'll be your eyes so U can see
I wanna show U things that I show no other
I wanna be more than, more than your mother
More than your brother
I wanna be like no, like no other
If U need me, I'll never leave
I know that U know without U there is no me, there is no me
Without U there is no sea, there is no shore
Love is 2 weak 2 define how much I adore
U child, U child
The last words U hear, the last words U hear

Until (Until the end of time
I'll be there 4 U, baby
Be with me darlin' til the end of all time
I'll give U my heart, huh, I'll give U my mind, huh
I'll give U my body yeah, I'll give U my time
4 all time I am with U, U are with me
U are with me, U are with me
