CAPTAIN JACK
At six o'clock on Sunday morning just before the news.
Captain Jack's Adventurers explore the worlds they choose.
And Captain Jack has magic feet and magic socks and shoes.
I want t' go back with Captain Jack
I want t' go back with Captain Jack
The Captain's Crew has lots of thrills.
They know just what to do.
They go from world to tiny world on a flying kangaroo.
Whose pouch is filled with Goodness Pills in which you would fly too.
[Chorus]
At half past six on Sunday the station plays the News.
But after watching Captain Jack I know which one I'll choose.
I want 't go back with Captain Jack [Repeat]




IT WAS A GOOD DAY*
It was a good day when you came along.
The days are gone now of bein' alone.
I'm startin' to see a new world since you came around.
Takin' life easier now.
Showin' the world just how good life can be.
No charge, it's all for free.
Livin' and lovin', not givin' a damn.
Grass between my toes.
No bill collectors. No noisy hecklers.
I have no use for those.
Spendin' some time in this world that I find and how
I'm catchin' up to it now.
Losin' all this, well that just ain't for me.
[Chorus]
Funny how I'm lookin' at the world through different eyes.
But it was all there and I didn't know it.
'Til you came into my life
It was a good day when you came along.
The days are gone now of bein' alone.
I'm startin' to see a new world since you came around.
Takin' life easier now.
Showin' the world just how good life can be.
No charge, it's all for free.
[Chorus]
I have no use for those.




TIRED**
If it was you I wanted I would tell you to come home with me, girl.
But you don't seem to understand I want someone to keep up with me, girl.
You keep followin' me around and the things you do you run in the ground.
I'm gettin' tired, tired, tired
So leave me alone.
It was just another day when you told me that you wanted to leave.
Yet you changed your mind so many times that I don't know just what to believe.
I don't think you'll ever make up your mind, so I'll just have to leave you behind.
I'm gettin' tired, tired, tired.
We had some good things goin' til' you came along and stepped out of line, girl.
Well I just get started and you come along and take up my time, girl.
You've got a talent for wreckin' lives, so go find yourself another prize
I'm gettin' tired, tired, tired
So leave me alone [Repeat]




NOW THE TIME IS
Well the earth was made and then was laid in the hands of those who lead.
But times have changed and rearranged through hatred, guns, and greed
But I have found there is a better way.
Speak your dreams and peace will come today, hey, hey, hey, hey now.
Hey now . . . The time is now.
Hey now . . .well, now, now
Hey now . . .the time is now
Let me tell ya brothers.
Now's the time . . .
Well now they come to beat the drums to get their money's worth.
Well they'll tell ya lies to hypnotise and steal half the earth.
Yeah, but I have found there is a better way.
Speak your dreams and peace will come today.
[Chorus]




NOT WITH THE LIKES OF YOU
Seems to me I've passed this way before with a different face
through a different door.
But it matters not, 'cause I know it's true.
I'll pass again this way not with the likes of you
No, not with the likes of you
No, not with the likes of you
Seems to me I have sung this way with a different voice on a distant day
But it matters not of the song or key.
She'll sing alone this time not with the likes of me.
No, not with the likes of me.
No, ot with the likes of me.
But it doesn't matter, no, no.
It doesn't matter.
Who'm I kidding Who'm I kidding . . .
Seems to me that I passed this way before with a different face
through a different door
But it matters not. Even I can see.
I'll pass again this way, not with the likes of me - No [Repeat]




LONG HARD ROAD/
LOOK OUT OF YOUR WINDOW**
It's a long haul
It's a long haul
It's a long It's a long It's a long
Hard..... Road

All the love that I wasted on you, Babe.
All the love you could never reach.
Now my lonely heart is broken.
All you do is stand there and preach.
All the tears that I shed over you, Babe.
Were like rain fallin' from the sky.
Now my heart and soul is prayin'.
Won't you walk right by my side.
Look out of your window.
Walk through your doorway.
Your friend is comin' to help you change your mind
Ooooo-oooo La la la la Ooooo-oooo
Ooooo-oooo La la la la Ooooo-la
When you said goodbye, you were leavin'.
All the pain, how it hurt me so.
I got down on my knees to warn you.
That you shouldn't ever let me go.
[Chorus]
I said look out . . .[Repeat]




MR. WRIGHTER'S WRITING
Mr. Wrighter's writing love songs.
And he finds them quite exciting love songs.
Mr. Wrighter's writing some very fast exciting love songs for a friend
(Yes he is)
Mrs. Wrighter's reading love songs
She finds no delight in reading love songs
But Mr. Wrighter writes them.
He types them and recites them love songs for a friend
(Yes he does)
Mrs. knows his occupation.
Knows she's not his inspiration.
Mr. Wrighter writes them for a friend
Mr Wrighter makes the words but there is very little love
In print
Mr. Wrighter makes the words but there is very little love In print.




WHISPER OF LOVE*
Running fast chase the wind to your arms I go lightly.
Come close, hold me tightly and whisper of love.
Speak of love this summer night and take me to the highest height with you
In the peace of the evening, shadows formed by the moon
Picturing a silver ring fashioned for our view.
Now I'm here.
Now you're gone.
And I'm looking behind me.
You treat me unkindly.
You turn me away.
It's not too late I hope and pray for us to see the light of day shine through.
Sunshine sneaking through raindrops.
Rainbows echo the call.
Thoughts and dreams and hopes unseen I miss you most of all.
You beg me leave so I'll go
Remember I love you, put no one above you, and all else below
If you could talk to me awhile I know that we could reconcile our love.
Since the day when you left me my whole world has been changed.
Bring back the sun.
Two will be one.
Why can't it be arranged?
Running fast chase the wind to your arms I go lightly.
Come close, hold me tightly and whisper of love.




FREDRIC MILPIP'S MOTHER
Fredric Milpip's Mother said, "Son, now heed this warning . . .
If you find I'm not at home early in the morning….
Mustn't tell your Father, Dear, just say, "I'm outside yawning
Say,
"I'm outside Yawning"
Fredric Milpip's Mother was a good old gal.
She'd take any other man to be her pal
Uh, huh huh
We don't know what they mean.
But she's a Midnight Chugger's Dream.
Fredric Milpip's Mother was a good old gal.
Fredric Milpip late one night got up for some water
and he found his mother gone and went to tell his Father.
There he found a four word note just before the dawning.
And the words his Father wrote, "Say I'm outside . . . Yawning . . .
Say I'm outside . . . Yawning . . .
Say I'm outside . . . Yawning . . .
Say I'm outside . . .
