a little rock and roll
I may be wrong, I may be right
another dancing fool on a Saturday night
but a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
if you got the notion, I got the time
perpetual motion, a perfect crime
and a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
listen to the drums, listen to the bass
a rocking guitar and a pretty face
your blues disappear without a trace
what do you know, this must be the place
they say that great minds think alike
oh baby they got that right
and a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
wallflowers hanging at the high school dance
trying to look cool but their missing their chance
doesn’t anyone ever learn
anything
they’re still talking ‘bout the words and the music
50 years later they still don’t know
that a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone
a little bit of that familiar stuff
does you nothing but good
a little bit of flash, a little bit of rough
listen to the wire, listen to the wood
they say that great minds think alike
oh baby they got that right
and a little rock and roll
never hurt anyone

I wanna get busy.....loving you
I wanna get busy.....loving you
there aint nothing, nothing I'd rather do
I wanna tell you 'bout everything I've seen
I wanna tell you 'bout everything I've seen
the people I've met and the places I've been
we're going to have us a real good time
we're going to have us a real good time
we'll be laughing honey way beyond closing time
I wanna get busy....
I'm going to see you whenever I can
I'm going to see you whenever I can
any time you're free honey, that's my plan
being with you fills my heart with glee
being with you fills my heart with glee
and a gleeful heart is a heart that's free
I wanna get busy....
I'm going to give you everything I have
I'm going to give you everything I have
because I believe it'll be in good hands
I wanna get busy....

I love crazy, crazy loves me
its a match made in heaven for all to see
crazy wakes early, keeps me up late
weekend or school night, the perfect date
I love crazy...
I love crazy on the darkest days
crazy loves me in mysterious ways
I love crazy when the stars are shining
not one cloud just a silver lining
I love crazy...
crazy is as crazy does
and crazy lives as crazy loves
crazy loves as crazy sees fit
drives me crazy because of it
I love crazy!
I run into crazy in a whole lot of places
the cafe Mazet and other oases
tuftuks, taxis, boats and planes
I run into crazy again and again
I love crazy....
crazy has time for all sorts of folks
staying up late, telling bad jokes
always has time for the saints and the sinners
breakfast in a bottle and money on the winners
I love crazy...
crazy is as crazy does...

Magic money's something special you only find when you are broke,
And going through the ashtrays to roll yourself a smoke,
And you wish you had some rum to water down that glass of Coke,
Magic money is the punchline to that bad financial joke
You might find it down the sofa or in the pocket of old jeans,
Check that shirt you never wear or your dirty laundry by all means,
Magic Money's what you hope for when you're running for the hills,
Magic Money's kinda free and it's not for paying bills
Magic Money's what you need when your down to your last penny,
its the money you find when you thought you hadn't any,
this money's not for counting or for a rainy day,
Magic Money's is inviting you to dance the night away
Magic money should be just enough to help you feel good,
Its not to be relied on - Lady Luck playing Robin Hood,
Have a good time, a bottle of wine, go down and hear your favourite band
Magic money's quickly gone again so spend it while you can
Magic Money's what you need....

well she lays it on thick, she knows how to pour it
she moves like a dream, she was made for it
she turns to you with that look in her eye
she shines so bright......she's got a talent for it
she lights up the day, she lights up the moon
she makes November feel like June
when she walks by you can't ignore it
she'll drive you nuts.....she's got a talent for it
oh...she's got a talent for it
oh...she's got a talent for it
everyone wants her, they want to be with her
she feels the power and it won't go away
if she gives you her love don't you abuse it
nothing's on offer, you can't refuse it
life with her, you've got to adore it
she shines so bright, she's got a talent for it
oh...she's got a talent for it...

thinking about tomorrow don’t get me anywhere
I could be a beggar or a multi-millionaire
and I can dream and I can plan
but it wont help me here
holdin… steady
my memory’s an ocean and I’m a little boat
and dwelling on whats dead and gone
don’t help me keep afloat
my darling upped and left me
she didn’t leave a note
I gotta hold…steady
steady as the world turns, steady as a train
steady as a blade of grass whipped by a hurricane
steadily falling down and getting up again…
steady
I get worn down by the detail required
hardship and struggle are my daily diet
I wanted in now there’s no easy way out
I’m rolling…steady
but it aint all a nightmare, not by any means
most days I have moments worth a million in between
and I hang on to that feeling
when it all gets cold and mean
rolling…steady
steady as the world turns....
shifting with the weather stubborn as a mule
knowing very little, crying like a fool
hurting all over like when we were back in school
going….steady
darling I know that that’s the way it is
I thank you sincerely for every tender kiss
and if we never meet again
please remember this
I’m holding…steady
steady as the world turns...

you cant steal it and it cant be bought
keep trying to find it and I come up short
deep inside I have a good idea
I cant describe it but I know its there
I’m turning my back on the urge to fight
I want do good and I want to do right
no hesitating or saying, ‘I might’
I’m committing to love
now I wouldn’t claim to know the thing to do
I’m just someone who wants to see it through
and we’ve a lot in common, me and you
committing to love
back in the sixties for a little while
peace and love became the latest style
but what I speak of’s not a paisley shirt
its at the heart of every grain of dirt
I’m turning my back….
I’m only human I cant help myself
my good intentions lead me somewhere else
and once again I wind up in a cage
consumed with sorrow, tears and rage
I’m turning my back….
