- All We Gotta Do Is...
Well, the poor keep getting hungry,
and the rich keep getting fat
Politicians change, but they're never gonna change that.
But you and me, girl, we got the answer right in our hands
All we gotta do is...
Well, the winds of war are blowin', and the tide is comin' in
Don't you be hopin' for the good times, because the good times have already been.

I beg you baby
Most every night

- Crazy Arms
Now blue ain't the world for the way that I feel
And the storm's a brewin' in this heart of mine
This ain't no crazy dream for I know that it's real
You're someone else's love now you're not mine
Crazy arms that reach to hold somebody new
For my yearning heart keeps saying you're not mine
My troubled mind knows soon to another you'll be wed
And that's why I'm lonely all the time

the lord is waitin to take your hand.
shout hallejulah c'mon get happy,

Now there's a good ship,
H.M.S. Cock-Robin.

Up and down she's bobbin'
So the crew's pretty tough.
The weather's so rough.
They're all fed up and say
That they've had more than enough.

When I go by Baltimore,

They've got a greenhouse over Texas and recession's on the way,
Although people tell you that this planet's dying fast,

My so called friends are laughing at me.
The way that you left me,
Is that a way, it ought to be?
Even since you left me darling,
I’ve been so lowdown, worried and blue.
The way that you left, when you left,
You own me, hurt yourself.

Just a perfect day,
Drink sangria in the park,
And then later, when it gets dark,
We go home.

Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie, too,
And then home.

Wherever she may be
She can search this so wide world over

Every evening [Eb] when all my day's work is through
I call my [Cm] baby, and I ask her what shall we do.
I mention [Eb] movies, but she don't seem to dig that
and then she [Cm] asks me, why don't I come to her flat
and have some [Eb] supper, and let the evening pass by,
by playing records, the sounds of groovy hi fi
I say "Yeh yeh" That's what I say, I say "Yeh, yeh"
