Sing The Conversation IV

[Otokichi]

(I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, oh no! Oh!
I shot the sheriff
But I didn't shoot no deputy, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh.)
Yeah! All around in my home town,
They're tryin' to track me down;
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy,
For the life of a deputy.
But I say

This is an anti-birth-control song!?

Why didn't Mr. Ganja say "Doctor," instead?

[miamisammy29]

I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

[Otokichi]

At Huntington and Malibu they're shooting the pier...

Hawaiians "shoot the curl," instead...

[RonJonSurfer]

We could ride the surf together
While our love would grow
In my Woody I would take you everywhere I go
 

[edna]

I can't hear a word you're sayin'...

[RonJonSurfer]

Can't you hear me knockin'?

[Crazy Don]

I hear you knockin'

But you can't come in

[Otokichi]

Open the door and come on in
I'm so glad to see you, my friend
You're like a rainbow, coming around the bend
And when I see you happy
Well, it sets my heart free
I'd like to be as good a friend to you, as you are to me

Contrary Tuesday aong.:

[RonJonSurfer]

 But what ever lies behind the door
There is nothing much to do
Angel or devil, I don't care
For in front of that door, there is you

[Otokichi]

Late last night
I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi
Took away my old man

Paradise is STILL being paved over for parking lots...

[RonJonSurfer]

Just hop on the bus Gus...

[Otokichi]

Right on, that bus done got me back.
Right on, that bus done got me back.
Well, I'll be ridin' on the bus till I Cadillac.

[RonJonSurfer]

Wish I had a grey Cortina....

[miamisammy29]

I got a '34 wagon and we call it a "Woody".

[Otokichi]

Beauty queens fall in trances,
debutantes lose their furs.
But it felt so good from where they stood,
they were working on a pile of wood.
Laying on it some,
playing with it some
when I, I woke up with wood.

[RonJonSurfer]

Isn't it good??, Norwegian wood...

[Otokichi]

Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy, you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline let us be
Talkin' 'bout very free and easy

[RonJonSurfer]

  Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay,
Rolled off of their ship
And here's what they had to say.
"We're callin' everyone to ride along
To another shore,
We can laugh our lives away
and be free once more."

[Otokichi]

Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Vahevala, homeless sailor
Vahevala, homeward sail away
Every evening I'd be gone
Back on board by break of dawn

[Crazy Don]

So be my guest, you've got nothin' to lose

Won't you let me take you on a sea cruise?

[Otokichi]

Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife cry
Oh me, oh my, I think I'm gonna die!
Oh me, oh my, I heard me old wife say,
"I wish I'd never taken this excursion around the bay"

[RonJonSurfer]

I want to get back

to my city by the bay...

[Otokichi]

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

[RonJonSurfer]

 

I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn't seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me

And I knew (I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew)
She could make me happy (happy, happy)
Flowers in her hair, flowers everywhere

I love the flower girl
Oh, I don't know just why
She simply caught my eye
I love the flower girl she seemed so sweet and kind.
She crept into my mind.

 

[Otokichi]

Through the corridors of sleep
Past the shadows dark and deep
My mind dances and leaps in confusion.
I don't know what is real,
I can't touch what I feel
And I hide behind the shield of my illusion.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

The mirror on my wall
Casts an image dark and small
But I'm not sure at all it's my reflection.
I am blinded by the light
Of God and truth and right
And I wander in the night without direction.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.

It's no matter if you're born
To play the King or pawn
For the line is thinly drawn 'tween joy and sorrow,
So my fantasy
Becomes reality,
And I must be what I must be and face tomorrow.

So I'll continue to continue to pretend
My life will never end,
And flowers never bend
With the rainfall.
