Oh Carol: The Complete Recordings 1956-1966 lyrics

Music & Lyrics: John Popper

Sometimes when you worry
The tendency to hurry
Can make your vision blurry
And blind you
You might shake and you might stammer
Or dance like MC Hammer
But could that pomp and glamour
Remind you
Of who you are and where you're going
And whose mind that you're blowing
And if your car needs towing
Don't move

Music: Chan Kinchla & Brendan Hill
Lyrics: John Popper

Bagheera walked into the bar and poured himself a drink
His fur was stained with the blook of monkeys and he needed time to think
The man at the bar said, "What are you doing here?"
Bagheera let go a low soft purr that kept the man from coming near
He said "I'm Bagheera, the mighty panther and the jungle is my home

Music: Chan Kinchla
Lyrics: John Popper

Picture a spinning toy laden with adventure
Coupled with the things I've told
And a dream can be as one
I have my moments now and again
I said I have my moments now and again

Started in a dream
Wound him up on a baseball team
Took it on the road
A B-17 with a hefty load
Full of cargo and of spice
Yeah a pirate ship who craves advice

Music: Chan Kinchla
Lyrics: John Popper

Ivory Tusk, smash into thine own
To show thee fit to continue
I weep for them and I weep for me
We rally to charge to die
And laugh when it's through

Well rise and walk now you're a man
Don't try to play catch me if you can
Just do as you're told son you must abide
Have you gone crazy it never was a free ride

Music Lyrics: Brendan Hill

I met my girl on a mountain side
Looking for warmth and a place to hide
She took me in as the day grew long
As we lay by the fire our love grew strong

I left the city for its dirt and grime
The factory wails to make mountain time
I found love, but she slipped away
Now I'm alone, but here I'll stay

I keep on looking till this very day
For my girl who's gone away
