The Rise and Dear Demise of the Funky Nomadic Tribes lyrics

Out of sight, do it
The people rose and set off for the sun
At night they read their star signs
A people proud for they know their kingdom come
Their skin was tanned by moonshine

{chorus}
Got to keep-a-movin’
Got to keep-a-movin’ on
Got to keep-a-movin’
Got to keep-a-movin’ on
Got to keep-a-movin’
Got to keep-a-movin’ on

Buffalo Gal lyrics

Buffalo {repeat 16 times}

Buffalo Gal,
you've had your fun
Your button's undone
and the time's right for slaughter
Buffalo Gal
You're thirsty and there's no more water
Like the lamb on the altar
And it's sad to see you looking down and feeling blue
Try your best to get on up and see it through
In a while you might smile and see the sun
Oww, the day has begun

{Chorus}

I Don't Want to Forget How to Jive lyrics

I don't wanna forget how to jive
Get my mookie, keep 'em alive, baby
Don't wanna lose ya
Goodbye, a-huh, huh, yeah
I don't wanna forget how to rock
Lose, wearin' toll
Well, it show ya, oh yeah, oh well, well

I don't wanna forget how to jive
I just wanna keep 'em alive
I don't wanna forget how to die
I just cold shower

Don't wanna forget how to jive
Went bobbin' with a bip-bop

Sarah lyrics

Captain's hair
shone softly in the sun
Rode on his best mare
to Sarah
Schoolboy eyes
would stare in innocent fun
Never told no lies,
he loved Sarah

{Chorus}
Whispered by a bramble,
carried by a brook
to every fishers hook,
"Sarah"

Fragrant fields
Playing croquet in the sun
Nothing appeals
like Sarah

{repeat chorus}

Brought Down lyrics

I was seldom sober in nineteen hundred and fifthy-four
Hey baby, maybe 'cause my baby had a baby by me
And I was still drinking dry gin
while you cried "No, no more"
And you were lyin' and a-cryin',
and your tears fell dying on the floor

And I'm brought down,
and I don't think I can get up again
Brought down,
my heart is hurt again

You were the fine lady in the early mornings

Baby Face lyrics

Put up, Baby Face
I love your lipstick, Baby Face,
it makes me all shades of red
Give me wild while you do to me one,
make me hot when I should be sleeping in my bed
I love your big eyes, Baby Face,
they seem to suggest much more than you say
I love the mark in your secret place, oow Baby Face
Love is like a peppermint machine, that's green, it's green
I love your hair down, Baby Face,

Chatting Today lyrics

I worked for the union and on my very first communion, you know,
it never ever, ever, ever worked out right
So I spent the night sleepin' on the railway
I worked for the foundry and man my mind it nearly drowned
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
It never, it could never work out right
So I said "So long, amigo. Good night" and slept on the railway

Call the Police lyrics

Uh
Betty was worried about the lover that she has married
and she didn't know what to do
He'd been hit by a hammer on the head and he lay dead
an' all her worst fears had come true

{Chorus}
Call the police
Call the police
Call the police
Call the police

Johnny was a joker and a very heavy smoker
and he never ever broke the law
Thin Miss Lizzy was a-kept very busy

Shades of a Blue Orphanage lyrics

When we were kids he used to go over the back wall into old Dan's scrapyard
Into the snooker hall where most us kids were barred
An' into the Roxy and the Stella where film stars starred
That's where me and Hopalong an' Roy Rogers got drunk and jarred
And we might have been the saviour of the men,
the captured captain in the devil's demon den
