HOME
La la la la la lo
La la la la la la lo
La la
La
Home is where the heart is and I'm home
I know where my heart is I came home
I found other faces I filled other spaces
But no other place is quite like home
So I got a move on
I came home
Nothing can improve on what's back home
With friends that'll need me
And love that'll feed me
All paths seem to lead me home
Home to me is pulled linoleum, the creaking of tho banister, the squeaking of the chair
Home to me is trapped in the elevator, knocking on the radiator, tripping down the stairs
Try to get the window to go up, then try to get the window to go down
Then try to get the super on the phone, I got another leak
Oh but he's in Puerto Rico
Chuk-ha, chuk-ha, chuk-ha, chuk-ha
Chuk-ha, chuk-ha, chuk-ha, chuk-ha
Home is where the heart is and I'm home
Home to me is pulled linoleum, the creaking of tho banister, the squeaking of the chair
I know where my heart is I came home
Home to me is trapped in the elevator, knocking on the radiator, tripping down the stairs
I found other faces I filled other spaces
Try to get the window to go up, then try to get the window to go down
But no other place is quite like home
Then try to get the super on the phone, I got another leak
Oh but he's in Puerto Rico
Home
70, GIRLS, 70
I went down to the tennis courts
Lookin' good in pleated shorts,
The girl I played was twenty three
But not at all a match for me
I gave a backhand, then a slice,
I aced her once, then aced her twice,
She staggered through the clubhouse door,
But me I played for three sets more.
And I was Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy at the time.
Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
But really in my prime
I took a shave and then a tube
And went down to the friendship club.
The ladies came as to a shrine,
All hollering 'This dance is mine'
I danced with seven, maybe eight,
I stayed till it was kina late,
But then I simply left the hall,
I figured I'd prevent a brawl.
And I was Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy at the time.
Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
But really in my prime
You're gonna love it when
You turn three score and ten
You get a feeling there and then
You're life's beginning all over again.
And I was Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy at the time.
Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
Seventy girls, Seventy girls, Seventy girls,
But really in my prime
YES
Yes, say "Yes"
Life keeps happening ev'ry day. Say "Yes"
When possibilities come your way
You can't start wondering what to say
You never win if you never play. Say "Yes"
There's mink and marigold right outside
And long white Cadillac you can ride
But nothing's gained when there's nothing tried. Say "Yes"
Don't say "Why"
Say "Why not"
What lies beyond what is, is not
So what
Say "Yes" yes
Yes, I can
Yes, I will
Yes, I'll take a sip
Yes, I'll touch
Yes, of course
Yes, how nice
Yes, I'd happily thank you very much Yes
Oh yes
There's lots of chaft but there's lot's of wheat say "Yes"
You might get mugged as you walk the street
But on the other hand you might greet that handsome stranger you have longed to meet.
Say "Yes"
Yes, I'll walk
Yes, I'll look
Yes, I'd love to do such and such
Yes, I'll try
Yes, I'll have dare
Yes, I'll fly
Yes, I'll share
Yes, I'd happily
Thank you very much
Yes, oh, yes, oh, yes
You can't look back on a chance that's lost. Say "Yes"
The dice mean nothing unless they're tossed
The throw is usually worth the toss
The hop op summer denies the frost. Say "Yes"
Yes, I am
Yes, I'll be
Yes, I'll go
Oh, yes
Yes
Yes
