FRANK MILLS | I met a boy called Frank Mills On September twelfth right here In front of the Waverly But unfortunately I lost his address
He was last seen with his friend, A drummer, he resembles George Harrison of the Beatles But he wears his hair Tied in a small bow at the back
I love him but it embarrasses me To walk down the street with him He lives in Brooklyn somewhere And wears this white crash helmet
He has gold chains on his leather jacket And on the back is written the names Mary And Mom And Hell' s Angels
I would gratefully Appreciate it if you see him tell him I' m in the park with my girlfriend And please
Tell him Angela and I Don' t want the two dollars back Just him! |

WHERE DO I GO | Where do I go Follow the river Where do I go Follow the gulls
Where is the something Where is the someone That tells me why I live and die
Where do I go Follow the children Where do I go Follow their smiles
Is there an answer In their sweet faces That tells me why I live and die
Follow the wind song Follow the thunder Follow the neon in young lovers' eyes
Down to the gutter Up to the glitter Into the city Where the truth lies
Where do I go Follow my heartbeat Where do I go Follow my hand
Where will they lead me And will I ever Discover why I live and die
Why do I live (beads, flowers) Why do I die (freedom, happiness) Tell my why (beads, flowers) Tell me where (freedom, happiness) Tell my why (beads, flowers) Tell me why (freedom!) |

Oh the bed is a thing Of feather and spring Of wire and wood Invention so good
Oh the bed comes complete With pillow and sheet With blanket electric And breath antiseptic
Let there be sheets Let there be beds Foam rubber pillows Under our heads
Let there be sighs Filling the room Scanty pajamas By Fruit of the Loom
You can eat in bed You can beat in bed Be in heat in bed Have a treat in bed You can rock in bed You can roll in bed Find your cock in bed Lose your soul in bed
You can lose in bed You can win in bed But never never never never Never never never never Never never never Never can you sin in bed! |
