I'M
GLAD ABOUT MANITOU
|
I’m
glad about Manitou Boom Boom
Beside the lake so blue Boom Boom
I’m glad about Manitou, Aren’t you
I like to swim in the lake Boom Boom
Those gypsy days are great * Boom Boom
I’m glad about Manitou aren’t you
I don’t want to go to Talako, Orinda can’t you see,
Sebago hasn’t got it
Manitou’s for me
I’m glad about Manitou Boom Boom
Beside the lake so blue Boom Boom
I’m glad about Manitou, Aren’t you

instead) -- MG

TROUBLE
IN MIND
|
Trouble in mind, I'm blue
But I won't be blue always,
'Cause the sun's gonna shine
In my backdoor some day.
I'm all alone at midnight
And my lamp is burnin' low
Ain't never had so much
Trouble in my life before.
Trouble in mind, that's true
I have almost lost my mind,
Life ain't worth livin,
Sometimes I feel like dyin'.
Goin' down to the river
Gonna take my ol' rockin' chair
And if the blues don't leave me
I'll rock away from there.
You been a hard-hearted mama
Great God!
You been unkind
Gonna be a cold, cold papa
Cause you to lose your mind.
I'm gonna lay my head down
On some lonesome railroad line
And let the two nineteen
Pacify my mind.
Well it's trouble, oh trouble
Trouble on my worried mind,
When you see me laughin'
I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'.

SWINGIN’
ON A STAR
|
Chorus:
Would you like to swing on a star?
Carry moonbeams home in a jar,
And be better off than you are?
Or would you rather be a...... ?
....Mule? A mule is an animal with long furry ears,
He kicks up at anything he hears,
His back is brawny and his brain is weak,
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak,
And by the way, if you hate to go to school,
you might grow up to be a mule. (Chorus)
... Pig? A pig is an animal with dirt on his face,
His shoes are a terrible disgrace.
He's got no manners when he eats his food,
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude,
But if you don't care a feather or a fig,
You may grow up to be a PIG! (Chorus)
... Fish? A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook,
He can't write his name or read a book.
To fool people is his only thought, and though he's slippery,
he still gets caught,
But then if that sort of life is what you wish,
You may grow up to be a FISH!
And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo,
Every day you meet quite a few,
So you see it's all up to you,
You can be better off than you are,
You could be swinging on a star. (Chorus) |
