The Mamas & The Papas Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.No Dough

No dough, no place to go
Art deco on the late night show
We'll climb into bed
Do like we said and lie spooned

And you give your love to me
Then I'll give it back to you

Pass the chips
You've got salt on your lips
Not the news
It gives you the blues

Help you off with your shoes
Then I'll scratch your back
Then I'll do the same to you

Feels good
Feels so good
Feels so good to be alive

No dough, but no place to go
Art deco on the late night show
We'll climb into bed
Do like we said and lie spooned

How else should people be
When they're on their honeymoon?
There'll be just you and me
On our honeymoon?

Oh baby, can't you see
Us on our honeymoon?

(Honeymoon)
Hey, baby, can't you see us
(Honeymoon)
On our honeymoon?

(Honeymoon)
Hey, baby, can't you see us
(Honeymoon)
On our honeymoon?

(Honeymoon)
Hey, baby, can't you see us
(Honeymoon)
On our honeymoon?
(Honeymoon)


2.Spanish Harlem

Lyricist:Jerry Leiber, Phil Spector

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
It's growing in the street
Right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamy

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

With eyes as black as coal
That look down in my soul
And start a fire there and then I lose control
I have to beg your pardon
I'm gonna pick that rose
And watch her as she grows in my garden

It is a special one, it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming
I'm gonna pick that rose
And watch her as she grows in my garden

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem


3.Straight Shooter

Lyricist:John Phillips

Don't get me mad, don't tell no lie
Don't make me sad, don't pass me by

Baby are you holding, holding anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean

You can bring me love, you can hang around
You can bring me up, don't you bring me down

Baby are you holding, holding anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean

I've been searching all night, just to find what I'm looking for
Baby, baby, treat me right, or I won't come round your door, no
more

You can bring me love, you can hang around
You can bring me up, don't you bring me down

Baby are you holding, holding anything but me?
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, if you know what I mean

I've been searching all night, just to find what I'm looking for
Baby, baby, treat me right, or I won't come round your door, no
more

Don't get me mad, don't tell no lie
Don't get me sad, just get me high

Baby, what your holding, half of that belongs to me.
'Cause I'm a real straight shooter, I'm a real straight shooter
I'm a real straight shooter, baby, if you know what I mean
If you know what I mean


4.Got A Feeling

Lyricist:Dennis Doherty, John Phillips

Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love I thought I was giving to you
Baby, it's true

Got a feelin' that you're playing some game with me babe
Got a feelin' that you just can't see
If you're entertaining any thought that you're gaining
By causing me all of this pain and making me blue
The joke's on you

When I get to feeling that you're stealing love
And I don't know why, baby
It makes me so discouraged
I finally get the courage not to cry, babe
Or even try, babe

Got a feelin' that I'm wasting time on you babe
Got a feelin' that you've been untrue
I got a feelin' that you're stealin'
All the love I thought I was giving to you
Baby, it's truethe joke's on you
Baby it's truethe joke's on you


5.I Can't Wait

Lyricist:John Phillips

I can't wait to say good-bye
I can't wait to make you cry
I can't wait, I can't wait to let you down

I can't wait, can't wait to hear you say
That you love me and you'll change your ways
But I'll say, but I'll say I'd rather be free
It's gonna be so good for me and baby I can't wait
Baby, I can't wait no

I can't wait to hear you plead
I can't wait it's what I need
I can't wait, I can't to see you fall
Can't wait to see you fall

I can't wait, can't wait to hear you scream
Baby, when you know that it's the end of your dreams
Can't wait to see your face when I'm packed up
And leaving your place, and baby I can't wait, no

I can't wait to say good-bye
I can't wait to make you cry
I can't wait, I can't wait to let you down
Can't wait to let you down

I can't wait, can't wait to hear you say
That you love me and you'll change your ways
But I'll say, but I'll say I'd rather be free
It's gonna be so good for me and baby I can't wait
And baby, I can't wait no

All the love I thought I was givin' to you, baby, it's true

Got a feelin' that you're playin' some game with me babe
Got a feelin' that you just can't see

By causin' me all of this pain and makin' me blue

7.I Saw Her Again Last Night

Lyricist:Denny Doherty, John Phillips

I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along's just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't

But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me

I'm in way over my head
Now she thinks that I love her
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her

But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me

Every time I see that girl
You know I wanna lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Don't know why I'm livin' a lie
It makes me wanna cry

I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along's just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't

But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me

But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
You'll never leave me

Every time I see that girl
You know I wanna lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Don't know why I'm livin' a lie
It makes me wanna cry

I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along's just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't

I'm in way over my head
Now she thinks that I love her
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her


8.Did You Ever Want to Cry

Lyricist:John Phillips

Did you ever want to cry but you didn't know just why
Did you ever sit up all night long
Just listening to that same old song
The one they played when she said nothing could go wrong

Right, I know you did oh, you kid
Did you really think that she'll be true
Wasn't that rather naive of you?
And now she's dropped you like a worn-out shoe

She's got you drinking gin and you know that's a sin
You go honky-tonking every night
You get drunk and then you start a fight
I know that you think that it's alright

Wrong, it's not the way to live you only get what you give
You can live your life just as you please
But, when you lie with dogs, you gotta get fleas
And now she's brought you down to your knees

Arms that used to hold you tight you miss them in the middle of
night
You burned a candle at both ends
Now it's too late, too late to make amends
You've even lost your old time friends

Enemies glad to see you down people, they don't want you hanging
round
Did you ever want to cry but you didn't know just why
Right, I know you did, wrong, it's not the way to live
Did you ever want to cry


Lyricist:Michelle Gilliam, John Phillips

John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line

In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Zally said, 'Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do, let's go south'
Denny said, 'Zally, golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you'

Zal, Denny and Sebastian sat at the Night Owl
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin' higher
In L.A., you know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swarthmore
But she changed her mind one day
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
Take me to New York right away

When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
Called John and Zal and that was the Mugwumps
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at
And no one's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you play
Make up, break up, everything is shake up
Guess it had to be that way

Sebastian and Zal formed the Spoonful
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire
In L.A., you know where that's at
And everybody's gettin' fat except Mama Cass

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea
Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it
We knew she'd come eventually

Greasin' on American Express cards
It's low rent, but keeping out the heat's hard
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality


Lyricist:Denny Doherty, John Phillips

I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
Just string her along, it's just not right
If I couldn't, I wouldn't

But what can I do?
I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
(And it makes me feel so good to know)
She'll never leave me

I'm in way over my head
Now she thinks that I love her
(Yeah, yeah)
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her
(No, no, never think of her)

But what can I do?
I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
(And it makes me feel so good to know)
She'll never leave me

Every time I see that girl
You know I wanna lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Though I'm living a lie
(Though I'm living a lie)
It makes me wanna cry

I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
Just string her along, it's just not right
If I couldn't then I wouldn't

But what can I do?
I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
She'll never leave me

Every time I see that girl
You know I wanna lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Though I'm living a lie
(Though I'm living a lie)
It makes me wanna cry

I saw her, I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
(No, no)
Just string her along, it's just not right
If I couldn't, I wouldn't

I'm in way over my head
Now she thinks that I love her
(Yeah, yeah)
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her
(Think of)

I saw her again


Lyricist:J Phillips

Words of love, so soft and tender
Won't win a girl's heart anymore
If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she's never been before

Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won't get you where you want to go, no

Words of love, soft and tender
Won't win her

You ought to know by now
You ought to know
You ought to know by now

Words of love, soft and tender
Won't win her anymore

You ought to know by now
You ought to know
You ought to know by now

Words of love, soft and tender
Won't win a girl's heart anymore

If you love her then you must send her
Somewhere where she's never been before
Worn out phrases and longing gazes
Won't get you where you want to go

Words of love, soft and tender
Won't win her anymore, anymore


12.This Precious Time

Lyricist:Steve Barri, Phil Sloan

You've been keeping me lonely
You've been keeping me down
And I'm sitting here wondering
Why I'm still hanging around

The night's grown cold, babe
Can't you see the signs?
Ah, there's no use wasting
This precious time

Look out your window
Ah, can't you see?
That the sun is getting fast
For you and me

Ah, you've grown hard, babe
Can't you see the signs?
Ah, there's no use wasting
This precious time

Well, I should be out seeking
Instead of hiding
Yeah, I should be out laughing
Instead of crying, crying, crying

'Coz you've been keeping me lonely
You've been keeping me down
And I'm sitting here thinking to myself
Why I'm sticking around

When you no longer hear me
And your eyes can't see
What this precious time
Means to someone like me

Oh, I wanna start living
Life's for the taking
And I've gotta start living
If I wanna be tasting, tasting, tasting
This precious time


13.It's Getting Better

Lyricist:Barry Mann, Cynthia Weill

Once I believed that when love came to me
It would come with rockets, bells and poetry
But with me and you it just started quietly and grew
And believe it or not
Now there's something groovy and good 'bout whatever we got

And it's getting better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday

I don't feel all turned on and starry eyed
I just feel a sweet contentment deep inside
Holding you at night just seems kind of natural and right
And it's not hard to see
That it isn't half of what it's gonna turn out to be

'Cause it's getting better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday

And I don't mind waiting, I don't mind waiting
'Cause no matter how long it takes the two of us know

That it's getting better
Growing stronger, warm and wilder
Getting better everyday, better everyday

Getting better everyday
It's getting better everyday
Getting better everyday
It's getting better everyday
Getting better everyday
It's getting better everyday
Getting better everyday


14.Make Your Own Kind of Music

Lyricist:Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil

Nobody can tell ya
There's only one song worth singin'
They may try and sell ya
'Cause it hangs them up to see someone like you

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You're gonna be knowin'
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be rough goin'
Just to do your thing's the hardest thing to do

But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

So if you cannot take my hand
And if you must be goin' I will understand

You've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along

You've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along


15.Meditation Mama (Transcendental Woman Travels)

Lyricist:Lou Adler, John Phillips

Transcendental mama travels
Feet barely touch the ground
Time don't mean a thing
Except that the world goes around

Meditation woman
Rather walk than ride
Never really quite convinced
She's not supposed to fly

Mojo daddy mystic
Wants both feet on the ground
Meditation mama
Keeps them spinning around
For her sweet love
Completely for me

Up and down the western coast
In and out of bounds
Searching for her eastern ghost
And his magic fountain

Always just a thought behind
Never there beside her
Mojo daddy doesn't mind
He knows he's inside her

Transcendental mama travels
Barely touch the ground
You know the world goes around
For her sweet love
Completely, good love for me


16.Gemini Childe

Lyricist:John E. A. Phillips

Though you're not quite seven
What is most like Heaven
It's the joy that's found with your arms around
Just the right somebody to love

Soft rhythms of her feet
Soft buckskin next to my cheek
Oh, the long hair unbound tumbling down
Musical songs without sound

Strong magical lines over the land
Strange mystical lines on her hands
Twin Gemini, split in two
Half is for me, half for you

Gemini childe

Gemini childe, woman grown
Lost in a world not her own
My midnight friend, split in two
Half is for me, half for you

Gemini childe
(Gemini childe)


17.Dream A Little Dream

Lyricist:Fabian Andre, Gus Kahn, Wilbur Schwandt

You keep pouring into one glass and you're never changing the
straw
And now to sing this lovely ballad, here is Mama Cass

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper, I love you
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone, blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me


18.California Dreaming

Lyricist:Michelle Gilliam, John Phillips

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winters day
I'd be save and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreaming on such a winters day

Stepped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees and I pretended to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming on such a winters day

All the leaves a brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winters day
If I didn't tell her I could leave today
California dreaming on such a winters day
On such a winters day, on such a winters day


19.Boys and Girls Together

Lyricist:John Phillips

Boys and girls have a good time together
Boys and girls, you know they're birds of a feather
Like two sides of a coin, they are forever joined

Heads or tails, choose one or the other
Be my friend or be my lover

Boys and girls should always have someone
Boys and girls should never be lonesome

Heads or tails choose one or the other
Be my friend or be my lover
Like two sides of a coin, they are forever joined

Boys and girls have a good time together;
Boys and girls, you know they're birds of a feather


20.Trip, Stumble and Fall

Lyricist:Michelle Gilliam, John Phillips

And though I know you're having a ball
You better listen, my friend, this is the end
Someone's gonna make you crawl

You've got yourself a very bad habit
You know you're on soft ground

One wrong step and that's all

Some little bird is gonna
Put her eye on you, yeah
And when she does you know
You're gonna be blue
You're gonna be, yeah, yeah, yeah, blue

Then you're gonna trip, stumble and fall
And when you land, it's no fun at all
You better listen, my friend, yeah, this is the end

21.Blueberries For Breakfast

Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon
Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon

Drive you to the airport, wait till it's time to go
I've checked the weather report, they say it will not snow
And all the planes can come and go
But I think the ceiling is too low, so you can't go

Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon

Burning just a little too bright
Manhattan firefly, never make it through the night
Somehow she came out alright
Through the darkness, see her light shining bright

Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon

I'm gonna have to call the cops, if you don't leave me alone
Stop waiting at the bus stop, trying to walk me home
The F.B.I., the C.I.A., you know they'll never leave you alone
And I will cut you to the bone

Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon
Blueberries for breakfast, love in the afternoon
Butterflies in my trousers under the August moon

23.Snowqueen Of Texas

Snowqueen of Texas
Left Paris in a cloud of smoke
They say that she may be beaten
But I know that she's not broke

She's living in a cool green farmhouse
If you go to Houston be quiet as a mouse

Met a man in Beirut
Having her name tattooed on his arm
(Ooh, a Deborah forever)
Boots of Spanish leather
I never meant you any harm

I'm on my knees, your majesty
Snowqueen, save a cold kiss of me
I'm on my knees your majesty

Snowqueen of Texas
Left Paris in a cloud of smoke
They say that she may be beaten
But I know that she's not broke

She's living in a cool green farmhouse
If you go to Houston be quiet as a mouse

She's mending a fairy tale
Reading her heart
(Ooh, a Deborah forever)
That's a good motto
For some jokeman's card

I'm on my knees, your majesty
Snowqueen, save a cold kiss of me

I'm on my knees your majesty
(I'm on my knees your majesty)
I'm on my knees your majesty
(I'm on my knees your majesty)
I'm on my knees your majesty

Snowqueen save a cold kiss of me


24.Too Late

Lyricist:John Phillips

When it's too late for talking
But it's too early to be walking
And your world slowly stops its spin
When the mind that once was open shuts
And no one can get in

And we know that you're faking
And there's no give or taking
And no one's really sure who's been had
When the love and trust have turned to dust
And that was all you had

Get on your pony and ride
Get on your pony and ride
No one to catch up to you
If you try

Get on your pony and ride
Get on your pony and ride
No one to catch up to you
If you try

No one to catch up to you
If you try
'Cause I've tried

'Cause when the mind that once was open shuts
And you knock on the door, nobody answers anymore
When the love and trust has turned to dust

When the mind that once was open shuts
When you knock on the door, nobody answers anymore
When the love and trust has turned to dust


25.Pacific Coast Highway

Rollin' along Pacific Coast Highway
Bummin' along to my radio
Saw a blond hitchin' my way
Rolled up and said, 'How far do you wanna go?'

She been hummin', thumbin'
Hitchin' and wishin'
For a good day
On Pacific Coast Highway

Looked in at me and when I could see her
She seemed to be somebody I ought to know
Opened the door, sat down beside me
Then with a roar we started to roll

She been hummin', thumbin'
Hitchin' and wishin'
For a good day
On Pacific Coast Highway

Looked like a swan
But brown as Chuck Berry
A summer's dawn
Yeah, light as a fairy

We got to town
She said her name was Mary
She been hit, she been whipped
She been hummin', she been bummin'
All her life

On the highway, on and on
On the highway, on and on
On the highway, on and on
On the highway, on and on


26.Somebody Groovy

Someone who really can move me, yeah, yeah, yeah
They gotta move me like they should
And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat 'em good
And when I find somebody, yeah, I'm gonna treat 'em good

No, yeah, no


27.Twelve Thirty

Lyricist:John Phillips

I used to live in New York city
Everything there was dark and dirty
Outside my window was a steeple
With a clock that always said twelve-thirty

Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking

At first so strange to feel so friendly
To say good morning and really mean it
To feel these changes happening in me
But not to notice till I feel it

Young girls are coming to the canyon
And in the mornings I can see them walking
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
And I can't keep myself from talking

Cloudy waters cast no reflection
Images of beauty lie there stagnant
Vibrations bounce in no direction
And lie there, shattered into fragments

Young girls are coming to the canyon
(Young girls are in the canyon)
And in the mornings I can see them walking
(In the mornings I can see them walking)
I can no longer keep my blinds drawn
(Can no longer keep my blinds drawn)
And I can't keep myself from talking


Lyricist:Michelle Gilliam, John Phillips

John and Mitchy were gettin' kind of itchy
Just to leave the folk music behind
Zal and Denny workin' for a penny
Tryin' to get a fish on the line

In a coffee house Sebastian sat
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher in LA
You know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except mama Cass

Zally said, 'Denny, you know there aren't many
Who can sing a song the way that you do let's go south'
Denny said, 'Zally Golly, don't you think that I wish
I could play guitar like you'

Zal, Denny, and Sebastian sat at the night owl
And after every number they'd pass the hat
McGuinn and McGuire still a-gettin' higher in LA
You know where that's at
And no one's gettin' fat except mama Cass

When Cass was a sophomore, planned to go to Swath more
But she changed her mind one day
Standin' on the turnpike, thumb out to hitchhike
Take me to New York right away

When Denny met Cass he gave her love bumps
Called John and Zal and that was the mugwumps
McGuinn and McGuire couldn't get no higher
But that's what they were aimin' at
And no one's gettin' fat except mama Cass

Mugwumps, high jumps, low slumps, big bumps
Don't you work as hard as you play
Make up, break up, everythin' is shake up
Guess it had to be that way

Sebastian and Zal formed the poonful
Michelle, John, and Denny gettin' very tuneful
McGuinn and McGuire just a-catchin' fire in LA
You know where that's at
And everybody's gettin' fat except mama Cass

Broke, busted, disgusted, agents can't be trusted
And Mitchy wants to go to the sea
Cass can't make it, she says we'll have to fake it
We knew she'd come eventually

Greasin' on American express cards
Tents low rent, but keepin' out the heat's hard
Duffy's good vibrations and our imaginations
Can't go on indefinitely
And California dreamin' is becomin' a reality


29.Step Out

Lyricist:John Phillips

Hey, did somebody break your heart
With a careless word?
Did someone tear your life apart
Never knowin' you were hurt?

Or did somebody try to break you
In two for a laugh to see what you would do?
Well, if someone broke your heart
Let me fix it up for you

Anyone could look into your eyes
And see what you've been through
But now you've got to realize
There's just one broken heart, not two

It's only happenin' to you, it's true
Don't you know what he would do?
He's out havin' some fun
While you stay at home havin' none

He doesn't even know, he doesn't even care
It doesn't even matter if you're even there

Step out, step out on him tonight
Step out, step out, step out with me, now
Let me fix it up for you

Step out, step out, step out on him, girl
Step out, step out with me, now
Let me fix it up for you

He doesn't even know, he doesn't even care
It doesn't even matter if you're even there

Tonight, step out, step out with me, girl
Let me fix it up for you
Step out, step out, step out


30.Lady Genevieve

In a place far from here
Circled by mountains
Her skirts are raised
She gently sways

Lady Genevieve

Slowly, revolving
Her life is seen
The blues are green

Kings cannot believe
Lady Genevieve

Butterfly to appear
Frozen in final motion
The bargain's made
Her colors fade

Collectors have achieved
Lady Genevieve

Night has come so spread your wings
While they all are sleeping
Try the wind
Your wings shall mend

Happily conceive
Lady Genevieve
Lady Genevieve
Ooh, ooh

Torn from the willow
Rest your head
Ooh, rest your head

No one shall receive
Lady Genevieve


31.Shooting Star

Lyricist:John Phillips

You were a shooting star, weren't you
Till moon dust came along and burned you?
You ought to do what you do, you ought to do
You ought to do what you do, you ought to do

Across the milky way, waving
You know your heart is worth saving
You ought to do what you do, you ought to do
You ought to do what you do, you ought to do

Your name in northern lights, glowing
You know your mind is worth blowing
You ought to do what you do, you ought to do


32.Midnight Voyage

Lyricist:John Phillips

On a midnight voyage
One that has no ending
And it's sending me
The things that I need

Far away from shore
Further than I've been before
But I feel the strength of the new sea
(Of a midnight voyage for just what you need)

Dreams come and go
And I sift through them
Love starts to grow
From the thoughts that I find within them

On a midnight voyage
Searching for my pleasure
Reaching with my mind for something I've dreamed
(Reaching with your mind for something you've dreamed)

Loves come and go
And I dream through them
Dreams start to flow
From the love that I find within them

On a midnight voyage
One that has no ending
And it's sending me
Right into my mind

On

'Uh, turn back to the earphones
Could you turn the earphones off, please?'
'Turn the television set down, please'
'And turn the air conditioning off'
'And walk around the block twice'
'Three'

On

'Your late coming in'
'I was right with you'
'Sorry, my mistake'
'Two, three, four'
'Five alright? One, two, three'

On a midnight voyage

'You've got it'
'You like that Lou?'

Come on, let's take a midnight voyage
Let me take you on a little trip
Come on, come on
Oh, come on

Would you dare to take a little journey?
All aboard, all ashore
At your leisure take a pleasure trip
I'm sure you're sure
Everybody needs a pleasure trip
My friend, my friend


33.Sing for Your Supper

Lyricist:Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers

Sing for your supper, and you'll get breakfast
Songbirds always eat if their song is sweet to hear
Sing for your luncheon, and you'll get dinner
Dine with wine of choice if romance is in your voice

I heard from a wise canary
Trilling makes a fellow willing
So, little swallow, swallow now
Now is the time to

Sing for your supper and you'll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb
They don't buy a crumb of bread, it's said
So sing and you'll be fed

I heard from a wise canary
Trilling makes a fellow willing
So, little swallow, swallow now
Now is time to

Sing for your supper, and you'll get breakfast
Songbirds are not dumb
They never buy a crumb of bread, it is said
So sing, and you'll be fed, oh yeah
Just sing and you'll be fed


34.Grasshopper

Grasshopper cannot stop her roaming
And her home and friends
Don't mean anything no more

Show stopper, you cannot top her
With a cowboy grace
Can't stay in one place too long, too long

Tip topper, she told such a whopper
But everyone knows
When winter comes grasshoppers go


35.My Heart Stood Still

Lyricist:Lorenz Hart, Richard Rodgers

I took one look at you
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still

My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk and talk
And yet my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken
I could tell you knew you knew, yeah
That unfelt clasp of hands, told me so well, yeah

I never lived at all until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still, yeah
And I never lived at all until the thrill of that moment
When my heart stood still


36.Once Was a Time I Thought

Lyricist:John Phillips

Once was a time I thought that love could be sold or bought
And everything fell in place for me
The fashion of passion, I rationed with caution
Because of the notion, the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me

But since it was Sunday and sunny, I went for a stroll
But peanuts and pigeons and people put me in a hole
A blessing refreshing in you did unfold
Dispelling depressing, distressing thoughts from my soul

Once was a time I thought that love could be sold or bought
And everything fell in place for me
The fashion of passion, I rationed with caution
Because of the notion, the potion of passion
Had never been passed to me

But now with you're by my side
I find that I feel so satisfied
Somebody must have lied to me


Lyricist:Denny Doherty, John Phillips

One, two
One, two, three yeah
How about some 1966
Rock and Roll

I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along's just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't

But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
(And it makes me feel)
She'll never leave me
(So good to know)

I'm in way over my head
Now she thinks that I love her
(Love her)
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her

But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
(And it makes me feel)
She'll never leave me
(So good to know)

Every time I see that girl
You know I wanna lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Oh, I'm livin' a lie
(Though I'm livin' a lie)
It makes me wanna cry

I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along's just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't

But what can I do, I'm lonely too
And it makes me feel so good to know
(And it makes me feel)
She'll never leave me
(So good to know)
No

No, no I'm never gonna leave
But what can I do, I'm lonely too
Hey it makes me feel so good to know
You will never leave me

Every time I see that girl
You know I wanna lay down and die
But I really need that girl
Oh, I'm livin' a lie
(Though I'm livin' a lie)
It makes me wanna cry

I saw her, I saw her again last night
And you know that I shouldn't
To string her along's just not right
If I couldn't I wouldn't

I'm in way over my head
Now she thinks that I love her
Because that's what I said
Though I never think of her


38.Free Advice

Lyricist:Gilliam, Phillips

A bit of free advice, we'll tell it to you now
If you've got some habits some people won't allow
Be cool, be clean if you know what I mean

We've all got our ups, we've all got our downs
Some of us are careless and leave 'em layin' around
Be neat, discreet and keep your ear to the ground

Everyone has had a loved one whose far, far away
And if you don't wanna take that trip someday
Be cool, be cool, be clean, be clean if you know what I mean

Everyone has had a loved one whose far, far away
And if you don't wanna take that trip someday
A bit of free advice, we'll tell it to you now
If you've got some habits some people won't allow

Everyone has had a loved one, don't be out on the street
Everyone has had a loved one if you know what I mean


39.Even If I Could

Lyricist:John Phillips

Now I know just how you feel, it was real
When I broke your heart
Now I know just why you cried when I lied
And I broke your heart

Now I know just how you feel
And I know that it was real
Now I know just why you cried
When I lied, I lied, I lied

But I want it understood
When it was, it was very good
And I would not trade away
Not a day, even if I could

Now I know just how you feel
And I know that it is real
And now you know just why I cried
When she lied, she lied, she lied

But I want it understood
When it was, it was very good
And I would not trade away, not a day
No not an hour of the day
Though she's left and gone away
Even if I could, even if I could


40.Strange Young Girls

Lyricist:John Phillips

Strange young girls
Covered with sadness
Eyes of innocence
Hiding their madness

Walking the strip
Sweet, soft and placid
Offering their youth
On the altar of acid

Thinking these gifts
Were sent by the dove
All for the trip
Accompanied by love

Gentle young girls
Holding and walking
Wisdom flows childlike
While softly talking

Colors surround them
Bejeweling their hair
Visions astound them
Demanding their share

Children of Orpheus
Called by the dove
All for the trip
Accompanied by love

Thinking these gifts
Were sent by the dove
All for the trip
Accompanied by love


41.Winken', Blinken And Nod

Lyricist:Eugene Field, Lucy Simon

Wynken and Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river of crystal light
Into a sea of dew

'Now where are you going
And what do you wish?'
The old moon asked the three
'We have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea
Nets of silver and gold have we'
Said Wynken and Blynken and Nod

The old moon laughed and sang a song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruffled the waves of dew

Well the little stars where the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea
'Now cast your nets where ever you wish
Never afraid are we'
So sang the stars to the fishermen three
Wynken and Blynken and Nod

All night long their nets they threw
To the stars in the twinkling foam
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fishermen home

'Twas all so pretty a sight it seemed
As if it could not be
But some folks thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed
Of sailing the beautiful sea
But I shall name you the fishermen three
Wynken and Blynken and Nod

Now Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes
And a Nod is a little head
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee-one's trundle bed

So close your eyes while daddy sings
Of the beautiful sights that be
You will see the wonderful things
As you rock in the misty sea

Where the old moon rocked the fishermen three
Wynken and Blynken and Nod
(Wynken and Blynken and Nod)
Wynken and Blynken and Nod


42.Nothing's Too Good for My Little Girl

Lyricist:Ned Wynn

A Thursday night meeting to talk to your dad
He says that the organization makes his heart feel glad
I picked out a movie, we went with your dad
And he said that it's this kind of movie
That'll turn a good kid bad

He should know 'cause he's your dad
And he knows what's good and what's bad
Yes I guess you'll never be had
'Cause how many times have I heard him say

'Nothing's too good for my little girl
Give her the best, I say
It's always first class
For my little girl all the way'

One night in a night dream
I dreamt of your daddy, he was making up a list
Of all the things he thought I should have
One day in a daydream, I found you alone
But I didn't try to kiss you or even make you my own

'Cause you belong to dad
You're not on the list of things I should have, yeah
And I'm the kid who went bad
How many times have I heard him say

'Nothing's too good for my little girl
Give her the best, I say
It's always first class
For my little girl all the way'

'No nothin's too good for my little girl
Give her the best, I say
It's always first class
For my little girl all the way'

'Nothing's too good for my little girl'


43.Rooms

Lyricist:John Phillips

Rooms that we have lived in
The things that they have seen
Rooms that you shared with me
And the rooms in between

When you're gone, there's a drought of love

Mornings we would wake up
Just to taste our love again
Afraid of some break-up
Before the day could end

When you're gone, there's a drought of love
Empty rooms without your love
Why can't we seem to get it on?
(Why can't we seem to get it on?)

Words remain unspoken
(Words)
Thoughts cannot be heard
(Thoughts cannot be heard)
Love's just a token
Without some spoken word

When you're gone, there's a drought of love

When you're gone, there's a drought of love
Empty rooms without your love
Why can't we seem to get it on?
(Why can't we seem to get it on?)

Rooms that you will live in
Not a part of me
(They'll never see)
Rooms that you make love in
Rooms I've never seen

When you're gone, there's a drought of love
When you're gone, there's a drought of love


44.Hey Girl

Lyricist:John Phillips, Michelle Phillips

Hey, girl, I know he's put you down
For every new love that he has found
Hey, girl, I know you're feelin' sad, sad and blue
And you think the trouble's not in him
The trouble's in you, no
I know he's only tryin' to score
I've seen him, I've seen him breakin' hearts before

Don't try to put him down
(Don't let him get you down)
He's the boy I want around
(He's not the only boy around)
And you, you shouldn't be so blue

I know there'll be another time
(I know there'll be another time)
But I'll be his
(No, you'll be mine)
Hey, girl, although your feelin' sad
I'm sad, I'm sad and blue
Just remember while your feelin' bad
I'm waiting for you, yeah

Don't try to put him down
(Don't let him get you down)
He's the boy I want around and you
(You know I'll always be around)
And you, you shouldn't be so blue


45.The In Crowd

Lyricist:Billy Page

I'm in with the in crowd
I'll go where the in crowd goes
I'm in with the in crowd
And I know what the in crowd knows

Any time of the year, don't you hear?
Dressing fine, making time
We breeze up and down the street
We get respect from the people we meet
They make way day or night
They know the in crowd is out of sight

I'm in with the in crowd
I'll know every latest dance
When you're in with the in crowd
It's so easy to find romance

Any time of the year, don't° you hear?
If it's square, we ain't there
We make every minute count
Our share is always the biggest amount
Other guys imitate us, but the original
Is still the greatest in crowd

Any time of the year, don't you hear?
Spending cash, talking trash
I'll show you a real good time
Come on with me and leave your troubles behind
I don't care where you've been
You ain't been no where 'til you been in with the in crowd
With the in crowd, in crowd, in crowd


46.String Man

Lyricist:Michelle Gilliam, John Phillips

I fell in love with the string man
Who played guitar in a rock n' roll band
And every night I'd watch them play
But it happened at the matinee

How I squirmed when he bent those strings
And I screamed when he started to sing
The way he moved and looked so groovy
Well, ya know, he did something to me

String man
String man
String man

So I followed the string man
Who played guitar in a string band
And every night I watch them play
And they got better everyday

Pretty soon and what do ya think
Everybody's saying, they'e the biggest thing
Hit records and making the scene
Sexy pictures in the fan magazines

String man
String man
String man

I strung along with the string man
He always called me his biggest fan
Though he was kind, I should have known better
Than to think we'd always stay together

And then one night the show was wild and loud
And I saw a pretty girl out in the crowd
She waved at him and caught his eye
The way he looked at her it made me cry

String man
String man
String man
...


47.That Kind of Girl

Lyricist:John Phillips

That kind of girl would let you down
That kind of girl will always run around
That kind of girl's the kind that you always fall for
My friend, your love is really a dull bore

Imagine your surprise when you look in her eyes
And, baby, she's not there, she's freaking out somewhere
And you think it's unfair, well, don't be so square

That kind of girl won't try to please
That kind of girl would never get on her knees
That kind of girl's the kind that thinks just of herself
Your on your first and she's on her twelfth

Imagine what you'll find when you open her mind
And there's nothing inside that should have made you cry
She didn't have to lie and I'll tell you why

She's one of those girls, yeah
Just one of those girls, yeah

Imagine what you'll find when you open her mind
And there's nothing inside that should have made you cry
She didn't have to lie and I'll tell you why

That kind of girl is just too strange
That kind of girl ain't ever gonna change
That kind of girl's the kind that makes you dizzy
You'll always ask and wonder who is he

She's one of those girls
She's one of those girls
She's one of those girls
She's one of those girls

She's one of those girls
She's one of those girls
She's one of those girls


48.I Wanna Be A Star

She wants to be on stage, front page
I'll sign the dotted line
You know, I'm gonna shine
She just needs that big break, that great take
To start my new career
You'll see that I'm sincere and I won't blow it

Oh, Mister Director, please
Don't reject her till you've heard her read
For the lead in your new production
Mister Producer, please
Don't seduce her till you've heard her sing
And everything in your new production

She got to be hot stuff, real tough
I wanna be photographed
Asked for my autograph
I don't want to keep house for a spouse
I'd much rather be the girl
I need much more to be the pearl of the movies

I'd much rather be the girl
I need much more to be the pearl of the movies
I'd much rather be the girl
Need much more to be the pearl of the movies


49.Pearl

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

A banker's daughter or a runaway girl
A little lady or a honky-tonk Pearl
Has to find someplace in this world
Where she feels at home

A banker's daughter is so hard to deceive
A little lady is so hard to please
Honky-tonk Pearl wears her heart on her sleeve
And her heart will not grow cold

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

Here's a wish for a runaway girl
Here's a prayer for honky-tonk Pearl
Hope she finds someplace out of this world
Where she feels at home

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might

I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight


50.European Blueboy

Return your velvet suit to theatrical rent
The streets of Soho will never repent
And the tears that you cry rain on you
And the tears that you cry are for you
One for Napoleon after Waterloo

The madman came, he was hysterically spent
The price out outrage was carelessly bent
And the master of disguise, he has left
And the promises that he made are all kept
Except for the Golden Fleece, he thought he would have sent

European blueboy
European blueboy
European blueboy
European blueboy

Return your velvet suit to theatrical rent
The streets of Soho will never repent
And the tears that you cry rain on you
And the tears that you cry are for you
One for Napoleon after Waterloo

European blueboy
European blueboy
European blueboy
European blueboy


51.Mansions

Lyricist:John Phillips

Sitting in our mansion, guarded by expansion
Questioning our motives and our means
Wondering why this isn't like the dream

Walls of wealth surround us, people cannot hound us
A gentle Spanish lady cooks our meals
But we never ask her how she feels

Limousines and laughter, parties ever after
If you play the game, you pay the price
Purchasing a piece of paradise, changes, changing

Fog and train
London town's the same
(On the road again)
(Dirges and pain)
Circles have no end
(Circles have no end)

Paris and Rome making their scene
But missing our own
Beatles and Stones then on the phone
And come back home, changes, changing

Nothing left to bind us, people cannot find us
You live your life and live it as you please
(Please, please, please)
Live your life exactly as you please
(Please, please, please)

Live your life and live it as you please
(Please, please, please)
Live your life exactly as you please
(Please, please, please)
Please, live your life just as you please


52.Leaving On A Jet Plane

Lyricist:John Denver

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, its early morn
The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I let you down
So many times I played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll wear your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes, I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go


53.The Right Somebody to Love

Lyricist:Lew Pollack, Jack Yellen

What makes life the sweetest, bestest, and completest?
Not a big doll house or a Mickey Mouse but the right somebody to
love
Ice cream, cake, and candy may be fine and dandy
But if you ask me, they aren't one, two, three to the right
somebody to love


54.Looking Through My Window

Lyricist:J Phillips

And the rain beats on my roof
And it does not ask for proof

It's not that lovers are unkind
She always said there'd come a time
When one would leave and one stay behind

We both knew people sometimes change
And lovers sometimes rearrange
And nothing's quite as sure as change
And the rain beats on my roof

Look through my window
To the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go
And I know I should let go

She always said 'I'm not like you
When love is dead, for me it's through
And I will find and love someone new.'
And I will find somebody new

Look through my window, yeah
To the street below
See the people hurrying by
With someone to meet, some place to go
And I know I should let go

I must admit she knew her mind
And it will not take her long to find
Another place where the sun will shine
Another place where the sun will shine
Where the sun will shine, sun will shine

And the rain beats on my roof
If I still require proof
Well, the rain beats on my roof, she's gone
If I still require proof, she's gone
Well, the rain beats on my roof, look through my window
If I still require proof


55.People Like Us

The Mamas and The Papas
People like us
So much in love
People who just
Trust one another

Ooh, what a dump
Now it's a palace
Where a Dixie cup
Becomes a chalice

For people like us
(For people like us)
So much in love
(So much in love)

Lassos of love
(Lassos of love)
Twirling around us
(Twirling around us)
A magical space in the city
That surrounds us

Now is the time
Blow out the candle
A nursery rhyme
Too hot to handle

For people like us
(So much in love)

Ooh, what a dump
Now it's a palace
Where a Dixie cup
Becomes a chalice

For people like us
(So much in, so much in love)
