Riding The Wave

The Blanks Riding The Wave Lyrics
1.Superman

No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(I can't do it)
No, no, no, no, no, no

Out the door just in time
Heading down the 405
Gotta meet the new boss by 8:00 a.m.
The phone rings in the car
The wife is working hard
She's running late tonight again

Well, I know what I've been told
You got to work to feed the soul
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

You've got your love online
You think you're doing fine
But you're just plugged into the wall
(He can't do it)
And that deck of tarot cards
Won't get you very far
There ain't no hand to break your fall
(He can't do it)

Well, I know what I've been told
You gotta know just when to fold
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know, I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

That's right

You've crossed the finish line
Won the race but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all?
(He can't do it)
I need you here with me
'Cause love is all we need
Just take a hold of the hand that breaks the fall

Well, I know what I've been told
You gotta break free to break the mold
But I can't do this all on my own
(He can't do it all on his own)
I can't do this all on my own
(He can't do it all on his own)

I know that I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman
(He can't do it)

Someday we'll be together
(I'm no Superman)
Someday
(Someday soon, oh, no)
Someday we'll be together
Oh, someday soon, someday soon
Oh, no
I'm no Superman


2.Charles In Charge

The new boy in the neighborhood
Lives downstairs and it's understood
He's there just to take good care of me
Like he's one of the family

Charles in charge
Of our days and our nights
Charles in charge
Of our wrongs and our rights

And I see I want
I want Charles in charge of me

Charles in charge
Of our days and our nights
Charles in charge
Of our wrongs and our rights

And I see I want Charles in charge of me

Charles in charge

Mmm


3.A Little Polish

A little polish on these old shoes
Whose leather time has abused
A little polish on these old shoes
Will make 'em shine like brand new

In the attic, in the half-light
This old suit don't look so well
(Well, and it smells)
On the collar is a little tear
Man, the stories this suit could tell
But if you brush off the cobwebs
This old suit still looks swell

And it seems like only yesterday
When you walked on down the aisle
With your corsage on your sweaty palm
Your face in a feverish smile
How I recall those memories

A little polish on these cufflinks
Yeah, they're silver, no, they ain't gold
(No, they ain't gold)
An inscription there in Latin
Whose meaning you never were told
But if you shine up the cufflinks
They never, ever look old

And it seems like only yesterday
When you first put on that suit
With your slicked-back hair, your boutonniere
Man, the girls, they thought you looked cute
How I recall those memories

A little polish on these old shoes
Whose leather time has abused
A little polish on these old shoes
Will make 'em shine like brand new
A little polish is gonna make 'em shine
Like brand new

8.Commandos (Attack!)

I have a little soldier doll
He's only eleven inches tall
But push his buttons in a special way
And this is what you'll hear him say

Major Butch Bullhorn, reporting!
Enemy targeted!
Atten-hut!
Move out!

Commandos-- Commandos
Command-- Command-- Commandos, attack!
(Yes, sir)
(We'll attack)

Commandos-- Commandos
Command-- Command-- Commandos, attack!
(Yes, sir)
(We'll attack)

He's the major, ready for the fight
(Major Butch Bullhorn, reporting!)
He'll hold the target steady in his sight
(Enemy targeted!)
We'll stand at attention when we hear him shout
(Atten-hut!)
Then we'll move, move, move, move out
(Move-- Move-- Move-- Move-- Move-- Move out!)

Commandos-- Commandos
Command-- Command-- Commandos, attack!
(Yes, sir)
(We'll attack)

We'll strike where it hurts like a Rambo
Commandos--
Unlike Colonel Kurtz played by Brando
Commandos--
Commandos
Commandos--
Command-- Command-- Commandos, attack!
(We'll attack!)

Yes, sir


9.Good Old Days

Once upon a time
(Once u-pon a / Time so long ago)
We played in harmony)
(Playing, playing / Happy all the time)
Spanky, Spud and Stymie
(Spanky, Spud and / Stymie I did know)
A pup named Pete and me
(Here boy, Petey / They were pals of mine)
Motley friends we made
(Motley friends we / Made forever and)
And happy songs we sang
(Happy songs we / Sang together, oh)
I recall those good old days
(I recall those good old days)
With you and all our gang
(With you and all our gang)

I can see chases, turns and twists
(I can see chases, turns and / Twists around the bend)
And mischief made for fun
(Mischief made for / Fun, fun, fun all day)
Old man shakes his fist
(Old man shakes his / Fist and frowns again)
As the little rascals run
(Little rascals / Run, run, run away)
Secret pranks we played
(Secret pra-nks / Not a sound and then)
That ended with a bang
(Ended with a / With a great, big bang)
Such a ball, those good old days
(Such a ball, those good old days)
With you and all our gang
(With you and all our gang)

Calendar leaves falling down
(Weep-wow)
Tossed by the wind all around
(Weep-wow)
Seasons have passed away
(Seasons / Passing away from me)
(Ooh, passing a- / Way, a-way)
(Seasons / Pass a-way)
Once there were skies that were clear
(Weep-wow)
Now, like the face in the mirror
(Weep-wow)
Ev'rything's gone to gray
(Ooh, ah / Ev'rything's gray to me)
(Ooh, ev'rything's / Gray, so gray)
(Ooh, ah / Gray, so gray)
Gray, like the state that I'm in
(Weep-wow)
Dreaming of where I have been
(Weep-wow)
Fearful of where I'm bound
(Fearful of where I'm / Bound)
(Fear, Fearful of / Where I am bound)
(Fearing / Where I am bound)
Scattered about on the ground
(Weep-wow)
Calendar leaves falling down
(Weep-wow)

Time has traced its tears
Where once I gazed and smiled
Faces show the years
Yet my heart remains a child
Dreaming in the shade
While distant school bells rang
Leaves must fall like good old days
With you and all our gang

13.The Full Monty

The full Monty
We're going all the way
The full Monty
We're gonna seize the day

The whole enchilada
The whole ball of wax
We're gonna face the music
We're not gonna turn our backs

You'll get the full picture
You're gonna see it all
A full frontal
You're gonna have a ball or two
Or four or six or eight or ten

The full Monty
Because we're men

Monty!


14.What Now?


15.I'm In the Middle


16.Facts of Life

You take the good, you take the bad
You take them both, and there you have
The facts of life, the facts of life

There's a time you got to go and show
You're growing and you know about
The facts of life, the facts of life

When the world never seems
To be living up to your dreams
And suddenly you're finding out
The facts of life are all about you
You, all about you

It takes a lot to get 'em right
When you're learning the facts of life
While you're learning them
Learning the facts of life


17.Flipper Theme

Everyone loves the king of the sea
Ever so kind and gentle is he
Tricks he will do when children appear
And how they laugh when he's near

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning
No one, you see, is smarter than he
And we know Flipper lives in a world full of wonder
Flying thereunder, under the sea


18.Speed Racer

Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer
He's a demon on wheels
(Turn! Turn! Turn! Turn!)
He's a demon and he's gonna be chasing after someone
He's gaining on you so you better look alive
He's busy revving up the powerful Mach Five
And when the odds are against him
And there's dangerous work to do
(Turn! Turn!)
You bet your life Speed Racer's gonna see it through
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer, go

He's off and flying as he guns the car around the track
He's jamming down the pedal like he's never coming back
Adventure's waiting just ahead

Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer
Go, Speed Racer

Go


19.The Riff Song

(Hark to those hoof beats)
Over the ground
There comes a sound
It is the drum, drum, drum of hoof beats in the sand
(Galloping horses in the sand)

Quiver with fear
If you are near
It is the thunder of the Shadow and his band
(Fly away for/His band will find you soon)
And all who plunder learn to understand
To understand the cry of

Ho!
So we sing as we are riding
Ho!
It's a time you'd best be hiding low
It means the Riffs are abroad
Go
Before you've bitten the sword

Ho!
That's the sound that comes to warn you
So!
In the night or early morn you know
If you're the Red Shadow's foe
The Riffs will strike with a blow
That brings you woe


20.John


21.Do You Want?


22.If You Never Looked At Me


23.Boing Fwip


24.Underdog

There is no need to fear
For the Mutt of Might is here
Secret ring he has filled
With a super energy pill
Trouble calls, he's not slow
It's hip, hip, hip and away he goes

When criminals in this world appear
And break the laws that they should fear
And frighten all who see or hear
The cry goes up, both far and near
For Underdog, Underdog
Underdog, Underdog

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder
Fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog, Underdog, Underdog

When Polly Purebred starts to fall
From buildings twenty stories tall
She knows the hero she can call
His ears prick up when Polly hollers
Underdog, Underdog
Underdog, Underdog

There's no need to fear or quaver
Underdog is here to save her
Underdog, oh, Underdog

And when our woeful monologue
Is how by evil we've been flogged
Then breaking through the clouds and fog
Not plane, nor bird, nor even frog
Comes Underdog, Underdog
Underdog, Underdog

Now unleash the Dog of Wonder
Tearing evil's bonds asunder
Underdog
Oh, what a wonder dog
Now here's the epilogue
Underdog, Underdog

26.Love Having You


27.I'll Be Seeing You

I'll be seeing you
In all the old familiar places
That this heart of mine embraces
All day through.

In that small cafe;
The park across the way;
The children's carousel;
The chestnut trees;
The wishin' well.

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.

I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.

I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day;
In every thing that's light and gay.
I'll always think of you that way.

I'll find you
In the morning sun
And when the night is new.
I'll be looking at the moon,
But I'll be seeing you.


28.The Ballad of Jimmy Durante

Jimmy Durante was once a little boy of only three
Jimmy Durante
Knew nothin' 'bout the birds or 'bout the bees
Daddy would warn him
When you're a man you're gonna wanna go ha-cha-cha-da
Better to put out the fire
Put on a ring and sing in the choir

And his mommy would lecture
Don't listen to the ladies in the hall
They wanna get ya, but Mommy isn't gonna let ya fall
Pity the kid, he sits there
And little does he know, but the oysters are his
Leavin' the cloister by Christmas
Stickin' his nose into everybody's business

Jimmy, go
(Jimmy Durante / go for it all)
Hit the road and get on with the show
(There goes Durante / showin' 'em all)
So they don't root for you
(So they don't root for / you or salute you)
They don't wanna face what that snoot's gonna do
All the while
(All of the while, who's / winkin' at you?)
All the girls in the chorus will smile
(All of the girls are / thinkin' of you)
Spreadin' those curtains apart on the stage

Goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are
I'm comin' to get you, I'm gonna be a star
You've been in my heart, girl, you've never been far
So, goodnight, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are

This is your daddy
When you're a man, you're gonna want to go, Ha-cha-cha-da

Jimmy's live
(Jimmy Durante's / live on the stage
Catch the champ who is takin' a dive
(Catch him as Jimmy / dives off the stage)
Learned what the ladies lacked
(Learned of the ladies / Turned on the ladies)
Now ev'ryone wants to get into the act
Join the cause
(Join in the cause and / gimme a chant)
Follow Jim 'cause he follows his schnozz
(Follow because of / Jimmy Durante's schnozz)
Once there was grievin'

But now even Daddy's relented
He's sayin' how it isn't any crime
The choir director is layin' down a madrigal in time
(Hey, nonny, no, nonny, nonny)
Even the Pope is hopin' he's happy
And he gives him a snappy thumbs-up
Dancin' the Tango with Mommy
Singin' a hey, nonny, nonny and a ha-cha-cha

Jimmy Durante
