Fun ITT we post random song lyrics out of context

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin’.
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

 

Oh, thinking about our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free.

Now, nothing can take you away from me,
We've been down that road before,
But that's over now,
You keep me coming back for more.

 

I've been a wild rover for many a year,
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
And now I'm returning with gold in great store,
And I never will play the wild rover no more.

And it's no, nay, never,
No, nay, never, no more,
And I'll play the wild rover,
No never, no more.

 

Sip the gossip, drink 'til you choke,
Sip the gossip, burn down your throat,
You're not iconic, you are just like them all,
Don't act like you don't know, so

Sip the gossip, drink 'til you choke,
Sip the gossip, burn down your throat,
You're not iconic, you are just like them all,
Don't act like you don't know.

 

When a felon's not engaged in his employment,
⁠Or maturing his felonious little plans,
His capacity for innocent enjoyment,
⁠Is just as great as any honest man's.
Our feelings we with difficulty smother,
⁠When constabulary duty's to be done:
Ah, take one consideration with another,
⁠A policeman's lot is not a happy one!

When the enterprising burglar isn't burgling,
⁠When the cut-throat isn't occupied in crime,
He loves to hear the little brook a-gurgling,
⁠And listen to the merry village chime.
When the coster's finished jumping on his mother,
⁠He loves to lie a-basking in the sun:
Ah, take one consideration with another,
⁠The policeman's lot is not a happy one!

 

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk,
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk.

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done,
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun.

 

As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back —
For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.

 

And just when I
Thought I lost my way,
You gave me strength to carry on,
Thats when I heard you say,

I promise you,
I'm always there
When your heart is filled with sorrow and despair,

And I'll carry you
When you need a friend,
You'll find my footprints in the sand.

 

It's grand,
When you're dancing on the sand,
Each glance,
Bubbles over with romance,
It's lovely, bobbing along,
Bobbing along through the water where we get along swimmingly.

 

It's far beyond the stars,
It's near beyond the moon,
I know beyond a doubt
My heart will lead me there soon.

We'll meet beyond the shore,
We'll kiss just as before,
Happy we'll be beyond the sea,
And never again I'll go sailing.

 

Out among the stars I sail, way beyond the moon,
In my silver ship I sail, a dream that ended to soon,
Now I know exactly who I am and what I'm here for,
And I will go sailing no more.

 

And I will sail my vessel
'till the rivers run dry
Like a bird upon the wind,
these waters are my sky

I'll never reach my destination,
if I never try
So I will sail my vessel,
'Till the rivers run dry.

 

Mud can make you prisoner, and the plains can bake you dry,
Snow can burn your eyes, but only people make you cry,
Home is made for comin' from, for dreams of goin' to,
Which with any luck will never come true.

I was born under a wand'rin' star,
I was born under a wand'rin' star.

 

If the heart is always searching,
Can you ever find a home?
I've been looking for that someone,
I'll never make it on my own.

Dreams can't take the place of loving you,
There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true.

When you look me in the eyes,
And tell me that you love me,
Everything's alright,
When you're right here by my side.

 

Uptown you cater to a million jerks,
Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks,
Eating all your lunches at the hot dog carts,
The bosses take your money and they break your hearts.

 

♫ If any kind of pleasure is exhibited,
Report to me and it will be prohibited.
I'll put my foot down,
So shall it be.
This is the land of the free! ♫

 

Skumps! Skumps! A toast to this night
When the outlook is rosy
But the future is bright
Our children will marry
Our kingdoms unite
Skumps! Skumps! Skumps!

Skumps! Skumps! A toast to the home
One grander by far than a palace in Rome
Let me fill up your glass
That glass was all foam
Skumps! Skumps! Skumps!

 

♫ Look! It's the man who flies around like an eagle.
Look! It's the enemy of all that's illegal.
Look! At the muscles on those arms, they're like hammers.
Look! (It's some nut who walks around in pajamas.)
That's no nut, boy, that's Captain Nice!
(Nice?)
Nice! Nice! Nice! Nice! NICE! ♫

 

Bananas in pyjamas are coming down the stairs,
Bananas in pyjamas are coming down in pairs,
Bananas in pyjamas are chasing teddy bears,
'cos on Tuesdays they all try to catch them unawares!

 

Look out! Look out!
Pink elephants on parade
Here they come!
Hippety hoppety
They're here and there
Pink elephants ev'rywhere
Look out! Look out!
They're walking around the bed
On their head
Clippety cloppety
Arrayed in braid
Pink elephants on parade

 

With sixty elephants, llamas galore,
With his bears and lions, a brass band and more,
With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers,
His birds that warble on key,
Make way for Prince Ali!

 

Oh we march from here to there,
and it doesn't matter where,
You can here us push from the deepest bush-
Hup, two three four,
with a military air,
with a military air!
(trumpet)

We're a crackerjack brigade
on a pachyderm parade,
But we'd rather stroll to a waterhole,
hup two three four,
for a furlough in the shade!

 

Following the leader, the leader, the leader,
We're following the leader wherever he may go,
Tee dum, tee dee, A teedle ee do tee day,
Tee dum, tee dee, It's part of the game we play,
Tee dum, tee dee, The words are easy to say,
Just a teedle ee dum a teedle ee do tee day,
Tee dum, tee dee, A teedle ee do tee dum,
We're one for all and all of us out for fun,
We march in line and follow the other one,
With a teedle ee do A teedle ee di tee dum.

 

So try the life of a thief,
just sample the life of a crook,
There isn't a boy who won't enjoy
a-working with Captain Hook,
the world's most famous crook!

 

We're just two little girls from Little Rock,
We lived on the wrong side of the tracks,
But the gentlemen friends who used to call,
They never did seem to mind at all.
They came to the wrong side of the tracks.

Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock,
So I up and left the pieces there,
Like a little lost lamb I roamed about,
I came to New York and I found out,
That men are the same way everywhere.

I was young and determined to be wined and dined and ermined,
And I worked at it all around the clock,
Now one of these days in my fancy clothes,
I'm a-going back home and punch the nose,
Of the one who broke my heart,
(the one who broke my heart)
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock, Little Rock.
