The tears I'm shedding now
I hear will dry in time
The fears I'm fearing now
I hear will die in time
But while I wait around for tomorrow
Watching life drift away
What about, yes
What about today?
I know if I just wait
The sun will shine some day
And when it does
the weather will be fine someday
But while the skies I search for tomorrow
Stay the same shade of gray
What about, yes
What about today?
'Till Nirvana comes
What about today?
'Till Messiah comes
What about today?
'Till the mountains move and oceans part
And angels sing and life can start
What about, yes
What about today?
I can't help wondering if tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for if it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today...
What about today?
'Till Nirvana comes
What about today
'Till Messiah comes
What about today
'Till the mountains move and oceans part
And Angels sing and life can start
What about, yes
What about today?
I can't help wondering if tomorrow ever comes
And what's my life been lived for if it never comes
I've heard a lot of toasts to tomorrow
But none of them ever say
What about today
Waht about today
What about, yes
What about........ Today?

When you're just out walking and you pass
Little signs that say
"Keep off the grass"
Did you ever stop and ask yourself why?
Pretty playgrounds children used to know
Little squares where lovers love to go
Disappear so parking lots can grow
Why? Once you start the questions never cease
What's disturbed when you disturb the peace
Pets and children are prohibited
Why? Ask yourself why?
And when you think about it
Bullets fly like popcorn on the screen
Recommended wholesome nice and clean
Making love's the thing that can't be seen
Why? Let your hair down just an inch or two
Let your skin be red or green or blue
They invent a special name for you
Why? On a clear day oh say can you see
What remains of mountain's renery
Catch a glimpse of all the scenery...
Sky......
Beautiful sky ..
As shiny as a penny
So when you're out walking and you pass
Near a sign that say
"Keep off the grass"
Put a sign right next to it that says
"Why?"

She was a working girl
North of England way
Now she's in the big time...
In the USA
And if she could hear him,
This is what he'd say
Honey pie,
You are making me crazy
I'm in love but I'm lazy
So won't ya please come home
Oh honey pie,
My position is tragic
Come and show me that magic
Of your Hollywood song
You became a legend on the silver screen
And now the thought of meeting you
Makes me weak in the knees tee tee tee
Oh honey pie
You are driving me frantic
Sali across the Atlanic
To be where you belong
Honey pie come back to me
Oh wa wa wa......
I like it, like this (laughing)
Woo I like this....
What kinda music (laughing)
What kinda music,
Play it to me...
Play it to me
Will the wind that blew her boat across the sea
Kindly send her sailing back to me?
tee hee hee
Oh honey pie
You are making me crazy
I'm in love but I'm lazy
So won't ya please come home
Come..
come back to me honey pie do do do do da da da dum.
Now don't get fresh fellas de da de du da dum
Honey pie come back......
Soon...

Wish I was a Kellogg's corn flake
Floatin' in my bowl takin' movies
Relaxing a while ...
Livin' in style
Talkin' to a raisin who occasionally plays L.A.
Casually glancing at his toupee
Wish I was an English Muffin
'Bout to make the most out of a toaster
I'd ease myself down
Comin' up brown
I prefer a boysenberry more than any ordinary jam
I'm a citizen for boysenberry jam fans
If I become a famous lady
Would you put my photo on your piano?
From Mary Jane.....
Best wishes to Martin...
Oh South California
Oh Roger draft dodger
Leavin by the basement door
Everybody knows what he's tippe-toein'
Down there for
Wish I was a Kellogg's corn flake
Floatin' in my bowl
Takin' movies
Relaxing a while
Livin' in style...

You're not a dream
You're not an Angel
You're a man
I'm not a queen
I'm a woman
Take my hand
We'll make a space in the lives that we planned
And here we'll stay until it's time for you to go
Yes we're different worlds apart
We're not the same
We laughed and played at the start like in a game
You could have stayed outside my heart
But in you came
And here you'll stay until it's time for you to go
Don't ask why of me
Don't ask how
Don't ask forever
Love me....
Love me now.....
This love of mine
Had no beginning it had no end
I was an oak
Now I'm a willow
Now I can bend
And though I'll never in my life see you again
Still I'll stay
Until it's time for you to go...

Bird up above
See what he's got
The freedom to fly and the freedom to not, de dum
That's a fine kind o' freedom
Look at him go way up above
Look at the crow
He's as free as the dove, de dum
That's a sweet sort o' freedom
He owns the clear blue
Sittin' on his sunbeam
Could be there's one beam up there for me
Bird up above
Man up a tree
Don't have to fly
But he's gotta be free, de dum
That's a fine kind o' freedom
Bird up above
See what he got
The freedom to fly and the freedom to not, de dum
That's a fine kind o' freedom
Fly where he like
Like where he fly
Don't have to go to the back of the sky, de dum
That's a fine kind o' freedom
Wake up you glum bird
Help us overcome bird
Freedom has slumbered for too long
Bird up above
Man up a tree
Don't have to fly but he gotta be free
Have to find the thing that he's after
Free and equilibrium, de dum
That's a fine kind o' freedom
Hey bird...
You can show him the way bird
You can show him today bird
Oh yes indeed dum
That's a fine kind o' freedom

Little tin soldier
They gave you an innocent gun
And then they welded your hand in place
And then they put black paint in your eyes
They made you smaller than life-size
And they threw rocks at you
And chipped your pretty coat
When they knew you had to wear that coat forever
Little tin soldier
They neglected to give you a tongue
They fixed your legs so you could not run
And then they put you in boxes and sold you
None of them ever wanted to hold you
They just set fire to you
And singed your gallant plume
And they made you lie in boxes all together
And from the tiny dark glass
Of all those tiny prisons
I can hear tin soldiers singing
With the silence of their fears
Let it not rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
Let it not rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
I can hear tin soldiers singing
With the silence of their fears
Don't let it rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
Don't let it rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
Let it not rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors
Don't let it rain tomorrow
So they will stay outdoors.....

What would you do
If I sang out of tune
Would you stand up
And...
And walk out o’ me?
Friends!
Lend me your ears
And I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing out of key
Thank you!
Oh, I get by
With a little help from my friends
And I get high
With a little help from my friends
And I’m gonna try
With a little help from my friends
What do I do
When my love is away?
Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day
Are you sad because you’re on your own?
No, mm, mm...
I get by
With a little help from my friends
Mmm I get high
With a little help from my friends
And I’m gonna try
With a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
I need somebody to love
I want somebody to love
With a little help...
Help!
Help...

What's it all about
Alfie
Is it just for the moment we live
What's it all about
When you sort it out
Alfie
Are we meant to take more than we give
Or are we meant to be kind
And if only fools are kind
Alfie
Then I guess
It is wise to be cruel
And if life belongs
Only to the strong
Alfie
What will you lend on
An old golden rule
As sure as I believe
There's a Heaven above
Alfie
I know there's something much more
Something even non-believers
Can believe in
I believe in love
Alfie
Without true love we just exist
Alfie
Until you find the love you’ve missed
You're nothing
Alfie....
When you walk let your heart lead the way
And you'll find love any day
Alfie...
Alfie...
Alfie...

The sky is black
The ground is red
The streets of hate
Are charred and dead
The world stand out
Against the sky
And crowds appear
To wonder why
The morning after
We ask for right questions
The morning after
We make the suggestions
We've gotta make changes
When I'm going to wait
But the morning after is too late
The shell that's left
Is still a cage
The flames have not
Consumed the rage
And men whose souls are trapped and slumped
Will wait until the next time comes
The morning after
We ask for right questions
The morning after
We make the suggestions
We've gotta make changes
When I’m going to wait
But the morning after
Is too late...

Now it's time to say goodnight
Goodnight, sleep time
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep time
Dream sweet dreams for me.
Dream sweet dreams for you
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep time
Now the moon begins to shine
Goodnight, sleep time
Close your eyes and I'll close mine
Goodnight, sleep time
Now the sun turns out his light
Goodnight, sleep time
Dream sweet dream for me
Dream sweet dreams for you
Goodnight.....
Everybody,
Everybody everywhere.....
Goodnight......
