Daydream

The Lovin' Spoonful Daydream Lyrics
1.Daydream

What a day for a daydream
What a day for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy

And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for taking a walk outside
I'm going to dare you to take a walk in the sun
and smother my face on somebody's new mowed lawn

I've been having a sweet dream
I been dreaming since I woke up today
It's starring me and my sweet thing
'Cause she's the one makes me feel this way

And even if time is passing me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the duce you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the duce for garbage alone
a pie and a place for being asleep before dawn

And you can be sure that if you're feeling right
A daydream will last long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may pick up your ears
Or you may be daydreaming for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Custom-made for a daydreaming boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreaming 'bout my bundle of joy


2.There She Is

there she is
she is the one
thats the one i turn to
when i need
to get a lead
on what im gettin' in to

ooo the way you keep me spinning
i'll hang on as long
it's no surprise we're winning

i have found
rollin' round
somewhere very private
how her touch can mean so much
but i cant describe it

ooo just let me keep on thinkin'
i'll just find a way to keep our love from sinkin'

(short guitar solo)

ooo the way you keep me spinnin'
i'll hang on as long
it's no surprise we're winnin'

i have found
rollin' round
somewhere very private
how her touch can mean so much
but i cant describe it

ooo just let me keep on thinkin'
i'll just find a way to keep our love from sinkin'

there she is
she is the one
thats the one i turn to
when i need to get a lead
on what i'm gettin' into

ooo the way you keep me spinnin'
i'll hang on as long
its no surprise we're winnin'


3.It's Not Time Now

I'd like to tell you that it's fine
But it's not time now
I can't seem to get a word and advice anyhow
Though the words are flyin' fast it just don't mean a thing
In a little while I could tell you everything

But we've taken sights in anger and we can't back down
Now we're fightin'just to bring the other down
And if you think to stop it now
Then the next time we'll know how

I'd like to break it to you gently were we go wrong
If the rock begins a-rollin'we just tag along
If at first we pick the loved things that we both lack
Then before we think to stop we're into hurtin'back

Then an avanlanche of answers must be found too fast
Hasty may just when we should build the last
Love what we lack like what we share
Correction comes with time to spare


4.Warm Baby

Summertime's for summer girls
Who kiss and run away
But winter girls have lovin' arms
To warm a winter day

Warm Baby, love me when the leaves turn brown
And I'll marry my warm baby
When the snow is on the ground

When the wind starts whistlin'
Through the branches of the trees
And the whisper by the window
Is the fallin' of the autumn leaves
I need someone to caress me
Like a soft, soft summer breeze

I need a warm baby
Keep me warm all winter long
Cause the summer sun'r a-fadin'
And the winter winds are blowin' strong
I need a warm baby
Keep me warm all winter long


5.Day Blues

Well, it's Day Blues
Sunlight's shining down on bad news
Makes you feel like everything you do is gonna lose
Sunlight frownin' down on me, cause you didn't sleep
Sunlight frownin' down on me

When my nights get so bad
That I'm hangin'out sad
And still the long hours of the morning
When the day folks arise
With the sleep in their eyes
To go follow the tracks they've been born in

That's the Day Blues
Stayin'away, girl, a little too long
Now I'm sittin'in the middle of a blue song
Same old right back thinkin'bout you, son
Sunlight frownin'down on me

When the dawn comes to leave
Why does light have to be?
Like the mirror that's showin' I'm older
And the sun don't feel good
And I ask how I could
When it feels like a crow on my shoulder

Well, it's Day Blues
Sunlight's shining down on bad news
Makes you feel like everything you do is gonna lose
Sunlight frownin' down on me, cause you didn't sleep
Sunlight frownin' down on me


6.Let The Boy Rock And Roll

I heard Mama and Papa talkin' last night
And I heard Mama say to Papa:Let that boy rock and roll

The neighbor not complainin' and the schoolboy talked twice
today
You know they think you're foolish, study or slippin' away
He don't think about nothin' 'cept the rock and roll records
that play
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
And he's gotta play music and you know we really can't say no

So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But Daddy, don't you call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy sing his song
In his brand new boots, he needs a foot from a kick in the town
If his music is groovy, you know he really can't go wrong

(instrumental)

So Daddy, don't you worry 'bout this crazy man
Go on and do what you think you should
But please don't call him Little Boy Bad
When you know he could be Johnny B Good
I say it's all right, Pa, let the boy rock and roll
He's got a mind of his own and you know he's got a musical soul
If the music is groovy, you know we really can't say no


7.Bald Headed Lena


8.Butchie's Tune

Don't give me a place for my memories to stay
Don't show me an end or a light to find the way
I ain't got time for the things on your mind
And I'm leaving you today
On my way

Please don't you cry when the time to part has come
It's not for what you've said or anything that you've done
I've got to go anywhere any time
And I'm leaving, gone today
On my way
I'm going home

Please don't stick around to see when I'm feeling low
Don't pass the cards to me to deal the crushing blow
I'll even close the door so you won't see me go
When I'm leaving, gone today
I'm on my way

I'll walk away like a shadow in the night
I won't give cause for you to feel we have to fight
I'll make it easy so that you won't really - quite
Know I'm leaving you today
On my way
And now I'm going.


9.Big Noise From Speonk


10.Jug Band Music

I was down in Savannah
Eatn' cream and bananas
When the heat just made me faint
I began to get crosseyed
I thought I was lost
I'd begun to see things as they ain't.
As the relatives gathered to see what's the matter
The doctor came to see was I fine.
But the doctor said give him jug band music,
It seems to make him feel just fine.

I was told a little tale about a skinny as a rail
Eight foot cowboy with a head ache
He was hung up in the desert swappin' rats
And tryin' ta get a drink of water with his knees a-gettin' mud
caked
And I'll tell you in a sentence how he stumbled into Memphis
Tennessee
Hardly crawling' looking' dust baked
We gave 'im little water; a little bit of wine
he opened up his eyes but they didn't seem to shine
And the doctor said give him jug band music
it seems to make him feel just fine

So if you ever get sickly
get sister run quickly to the dusty closet shelf
and pull down a washboard; and play a guitar chord
and do a little do it yourself.
call on your neighbors to put down their labors
and come and play the hardware in time
cause the doctor said give him jug band music
it seems to make him feel just fine

I was floatin' in the ocean
greasy suntan lotion
when i got wiped out by a beach boy
he was surfing' when he hit me but he dropped his board to get
me
and he dragged me by the arms just like a child's toy
as we staggered into land with all the waiters eatn' sandwiches
we tried to mooch a towel from the hoi poloi
he emptied out his eardrums; i emptied out mine
and everybody knows that the very last line is
the doctor said give him jug band music
it seems to make him feel just fine

and the doctor said give him jug band music
it seems to make him feel just fine.


11.Didn't Want To Have To Do It

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to break your heart
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hopin' from the very start
But you kept on a-tryin'
And I knew that you'd end up a-cryin'
And I knew I didn't wanna have to do it at all

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again
Yeah, but then
No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say 'The end'


Was a time that I thought our love could fly
and never never fall
Why should I suppose we were never really meant
to be close to each other at all
No, I...

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again
Yeah, but then
No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say 'The end'
No no, not the end, no no no


12.You Didn't Have To Be So Nice

You didn't have to be so nice
I would have liked you anyway
If you had just looked once or twice
And gone upon your quiet way

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you
I knew I'd find you in a day or two
And it's true

You came upon a quiet day
You simply seemed to take your place
I knew that it would be that way
The minute that I saw your face

And when we've had a few more days (When we've had a few more
days)
I wonder if I'll get to say (Wonder if I'll get to say)
You didn't have to be so nice (Be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway (Would have liked)

Today I said the time was right for me to follow you (Today,
said that the time was right to follow you)
I knew I'd find you in a day or two (I knew that I would find
you in a day or two)
And it's true

You didn't have to be so nice (Didn't have to be so nice)
I would have liked you anyway (Would have liked you anyway)
If you had just looked once or twice (Once or twice)
And gone upon your quiet way (Quiet way)
