Gimme The Power
My older brother Tommy was a lineman rest his soul
His job was hanging hot wires on them high-line power poles
Every morning bright and early he’d climb way up in the sky
And I never understood it so one day I asked him why
(Chorus:)
HE SAID IT PAYS BIG MONEY AND MAN I’M INTO THAT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY IF YOU’RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY BUT HE SURE CAN’T SPEND IT NOW
Well, my late Uncle Charlie was this demo
His job was hanging hot wires on them high-line power poles
Every morning bright and early he’d climb way up in the sky
And I never understood it so one day I asked him why
(Chorus:)
HE SAID IT PAYS BIG MONEY AND MAN I’M INTO THAT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY IF YOU’RE WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, SONNY, YOU OUGHT TO SEE MY BANK ACCOUNT
IT PAYS BIG MONEY BUT HE SURE CAN’T SPEND IT NOW
Well, my late Uncle Charlie was this demo
Serenade In Blue
SHAKE DOWN THE STARS
Glenn Miller
Shake down the stars, pull down the clouds
Turn off the moon, do it soon
I can't enjoy this night without you
Shake down the stars
Dry up the streams
Stop all my dreams.
Cut off the breeze, do it please
I never thought I'd cry about you
Shake down the stars
I gave you my arms, my lips, my heart
My love, my life, my all
But the best that I had to offer you
I found was all too small
Crush every rose, hush ev'ry prayer
Break every vow, do it now
I know I can't go on without you
Shake down the stars
