I have a dog, and his name is Fred. Poor old feller, he'd be better off dead, Than to live his life with me; Me being one old flea. Fred used to scratch his back and side, Poor old feller, I would run and hide, I'd drink me a big old beer, And wait til...

The summer sun was beating down, Oh pity would it show George Chester's office air conditioner Would no longer go. As pools of sweat rolled off his brow He had one reverie. He saw himself with his wife and kids In his cottage by the sea. He paid for...

Gettin' up early to see the mist still kissing the land I watch the sunrise the way the great creator planned I walk the long grass get my legs all covered with dew Gettin' up eary remembering you Gettin' up early remembering you Out in the meadow I see...

Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow, Zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow; Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow, We can stay all day. (Cho:) We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo; How about you, you, you? You can come too, too, too. We're going to the zoo, zoo, z...

Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow, Zoo tomorrow, zoo tomorrow; Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow, We can stay all day. We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo; How about you, you, you? You can come too, too, too. We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo. See the el...

When the Good King Buzz was buzzin', I was halfway down the street Heard the sound of music and the sound of dancing feet Like a second-hand calliope just slightly out of key They all raised their voices in a harmony When the Good King High was risin', I...

I was out for a stroll, just a-walking a pup Checking the scene, seeing what was up I wasn't bothering nobody, I was easing on down the road Just behind me come a piddy piddy pat I said "Good Lord, tell me what was that" I turned and looked and my brain...

Father, Father build me a cabin fine. There I'll go at once and lay me down. Build for me a bed of pine, For I feel my time is a coming 'round. Love of mine, love of mine. Love of mine, love of mine. No daughter of mine will suffer shame. I'll build yo...

Now the High Sheriff of Hazard is a hard-working man. To be a fine sheriff is his only plan. He digs in our pockets he takes what he can, For he's the High Sheriff of Hazard. He looked through my pockets, He's searched them with care, But nary a nickel o...

As my aching head is begging for a sleep that will not come I rise and walk the morning street again I keep wondering how you're doing and I wonder where you are And I know I'll be all right, but I don't know when Hold onto me, babe, wherever you may be Hold o...

Tell the rose not to bloom, the stream to flow. Tell the rain not to fall, the tree to grow. Tell the high summer sky to lose its blue, but don’t tell that I don’t belong with you. You could send me away and I would go. I would go but I would not go too far....

Down by the Canadian River early one morning in spring I wondered what I might give her to go with a gold wedding ring The land that my granddaddy fought for The land where my two parents lie A piece of my sweet Oklahoma A home for my sweetheart and I H...

How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace How beautiful upon the mountain Are the steps of those who walk in peace Across the bridge at Selma you came marching side by side In your eyes a new world on the way Hope was in your he...

It's a long and a dusty road A hot and a heavy load The folks I meet ain't always kind Some are bad, some are good Some have done the best they could Some have tried to ease my troublin' mind And I can't help but wonder Where I'm bound, where I'm bound Can't...

Ever again the morning creeps across your shoulder Through the frosted window pane the sun grows bolder Your hair flows down your pillow, you're still sleeping. I think I'll wake you now and hold you Tell you again the things I told you Behold I give you the...

I like the way you look when you don't know that I'm lookin' at you And everywhere you look you're seein' somethin' or somebody new I can see you startin' to smile but why I haven't a clue I like the way you look when you don't know that I'm lookin' at you...

If you can't come along, love, then you must stay behind You're bound to say farewell to me I must bid you goodbye, though I hate to see you cry But I'm bound for the mountains and the sea Fare thee well, bound for the mountains and the sea It's so hard to ex...

Oh the price of gold is rising out of sight And the dollar is in sorry shape tonight. What the dollar used to get us Now won't buy a head of lettuce. No, the economic forecast isn't bright. But amid the clouds I spot a shining ray. I can even glimpse a...

Everybody and his uncle is in debt, And the bankers and the brokers are upset. Goldman Sachs’s, Merrill Lynch’s Saw themselves as lead-pipe cinches, Now they’ve landed in the biggest screw-up yet. Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns and all their kind Have...
