Patriotic Songs
Sweet land of liberty of thee I sing
land where my fathers died
land of the pilgrims pride
When I'm stuck with a day
That's gray and lonely
I just stick out my chin
And grin and say, oh
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
Her name was Lola
She was a showgirl
with yellow feathers in her hair
and a dress cut down to there
The men will cheer
the boys will shout
The ladies will all turn about
And well all feel gay
When you're a Jet, you're a Jet all the way from your first cigarette to your last dying day
Start spreadin' the news, I'm leavin' today
I want to be a part of it
Oh, when the sun beats down and burns the tar up on the roof
And your shoes get so hot you wish your tired feet were fire proof
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
That endless skyway
In every job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and snap!
The job's a game
And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
And every time I see you grin
I'm such a happy individual
The moment that you speak
I want to go play hide and seek
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, but what a thrill
went to town a riding on a pony,
he stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni
Rain drops on roses
and whiskers on kittens
bright coper kettles
and warm woolen mittens
Try, try, try to separate them
It's an illusion
Try, try, try, and you will only come
To this conclusion
I'm gettin' bugged driving up and down the same old strip
I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip
My buddies and me are gettin' real well known
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone
And forever in peace may you wave
You're the emblem of
the land I love
Oh well, oh well, oh well oh, uh
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car?
Let me play among the stars. Let me see what spring is like On, Jupiter and Mars. In other words, hold my hand, In other words, darling, kiss me.
So many days you passed me by
See the tears standin' in my eyes
You didn't stop to make me feel better
By leavin' me a card or a letter
