The Rascals Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Mustang Sally

Lyricist:Bonny Rice

Mustang Sally
Think you better slow your Mustang down
Mustang Sally, baby
Think you better slow your Mustang down

You keep on runnin' around, my baby
Have to put your big feet on the ground
It's alright

All you wanna do is ride around, babe, said, ride, Sally, ride
All you wanna do is ride around, babe, just ride, Sally, ride
Now all you wanna do is ride around, baby, said ride, Sally,
ride
All you wanna do is ride around, babe, said ride, Sally, ride

One of these early mornin's, yeah
You're gonna be wipin' your weepin' eyes
Go on, tell him 'bout it

I bought you a brand new Mustang
Talk about nineteen sixty-six, now
You come on with some of that signifyin' chap
Don't wanna let me ride

Mustang Sally, baby
I think you better slow, Mustang down
If you keep on runnin' around, my baby
I have to put your flat feet on the ground
Gotta go home

All you wanna do is ride around, babe, just ride, Sally, ride
All you wanna do is ride around, babe, c'mon ride, Sally, ride
You wanna do ride around, babe, so ride, Sally, ride
And all you wanna do is ride around, babe, just ride, Sally,
ride

Say yeah, alright


2.A Beautiful Morning

Lyricist:Eddie Brigati, Felix Cavaliere

It's a beautiful mornin', ahhh
I think I'll go outside a while
And jus' smile
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain't no sense in stayin' inside
If the weather's fine an' you got the time
It's your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day
Either way
It's a beautiful mornin', ahhh
Each bird keeps singin' his own song
So long
I've got to be on my way, now
Ain't no fun just hangin' around
I've got to cover ground, you couldn't keep me down
It just ain't no good if the sun shines
When you're still inside
Shouldn't hide, still inside, shouldn't hide
Ahhhh oh! (shouldn't hide) ah ah oh

(Do do waaa, do do waaa)

There will be children with robins and flowers
Sunshine caresses each new waking hour
Seems to me that the people keep seeing
More and more each day, gotta say, lead the way
It's okay, wednesday, thursday, it's okay
(Ahhh) monday, wednesday, friday, weekday, ah ah ohhh

(Do do waaa)
Ah ah oh oh (do do aaaa)
Wooooo oo oo oh oh oh ah wo do waa
Ohhhhhhh .oh oh oh
And fade


3.A Ray Of Hope

Lyricist:Eddie Brigati, Felix Cavaliere

Most people got soul if they wanna try
Let love be your goal and let it fly
'Cause it's easy to hate and to draw a line
But error is human forgiveness is divine

I know a lot of people who think like me
That this world can be a place that's filled with harmony
First there's a lot of things, we've got to rearrange
Put an end to hate and lies
So peace can come and truth shall reign
As long as there is a ray of hope

Lord, I don't mind going out
And doin' my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make His dream understood

Sometimes the road gets a little bit rough
Your strength is all gone, you had enough
But there's people who win without making fists
Our world won't survive lest we think like this

I can't imagine any greater need
To treat each other as we'd like to be
It's a gas just knowing what is yet to come
Not unless we get together
Got to get together one by one

As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind goin' out and doin' my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
I got to keep on searchin', keep on searchin'
Till I find out

Keep on searchin', keep on searchin'
Till I find out
Keep on searchin', keep on searchin'
Till I find out

Gonna take a little look way down inside
Gotta find out Lord why I'm alive
We'll pray for a day when all men are free
And people can live like they're meant to be
Meanwhile, it's all up to you and me
Start working together towards this dream

As long as there is a ray of hope
Lord, I don't mind goin' out and doin' my work
Light up the way to brotherhood
Help us to make His dream understood

As long as there is a ray of hope
I got to wait my turn till I can vote
As long as there is a ray of hope


4.Carry Me Back

Lyricist:Felix Cavaliere

Oh, for the pillow where my head used to lay
â~Fore I left to be a grown man way back then
I miss the wooden kitchen floor
Painted brown to match the old back door
In my old Kentucky home where I belong

Carry me back
Carry me back
Carry me back, I been away so long
I'm goin' back where I come from

Something I read one day
Might have heard somebody say
Made me leave a happy home
Fortune waitin' in the city
Pretty women just like in the movies
Craziest mess you ever want to see

Carry me back
Carry me back
Carry me back ain't nothin' here for me
I wanna get back home
Take me back where I belong

Lord Almighty, I sure learned a lot
Enough to send me back where I come from
To that old Kentucky home where I belong


5.See

Lyricist:Felix Cavaliere

Things ain't like they used to be
Love's the only thing I see
Wings of life are taking flight
From the darkness to the light

I used to try and fly away
Upon the flood of dreams
Tasting all the good and bad
From on the serpents tree

Little ones remind us
Of a place we used to be
Echoes of the ever land
Discover who you really are

Rivers rushing to the sea
Love is flowing endlessly
Drops of rain are never lost
Soul and spirit to its source

Saw you in a fairy tale
Or was it just a dream
White and yellow jasmine trees
Times a mere machine

Flashes of a new year light
Up a stellar sky
Love is really everywhere
To see it is to fly

Things ain't like they used to be
If you want to you can see
Words of love on chestnut trees
Written by sweet memories

While we are riding on the avenues of time
The bird of life drinks from the cups of wine
Waits until we're ready for
The princes gift of love

Things ain't like they used to be
Love's the only thing I see
Wings of life are taking flight
From the darkness to the light

Secret mirror photographs
Shining in your eyes
I'm married to the universe
My brother is the sky

Stars can see to make a wish
And hearts with wings can fly
Come with me and see my love
So we can never die

Rivers rushing to the sea
Love is flowing endlessly
Drops of rain are never lost
Soul and spirit to its source


6.Groovin'

Lyricist:Eddie Brigati, Felix Cavaliere

Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon

I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't a place I'd like to be instead of

Movin' down a crowded avenue
Doin' anything we like to do

There's always lots of things that we can see
We can be anyone we like to be
And all those happy people we could meet

Just groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really, couldn't get away too soon

No, no, no, no

We'll keep on spending sunny days this way
We're gonna talk and laugh our time away
I feel it coming closer day by day
Life would be ecstasy, you and me endlessly

Groovin' on a Sunday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon

No, no, no, no
Groovin', groovin'


7.Easy Rollin'

Lyricist:Eddie Brigati, Felix Cavaliere

Easy rollin', ain't no need to hurry at all

It's just a special mornin' when I wake yawnin' and sun is
shinin'
I feel like I've been dreamin' and freelance schemin' on colored
rainbows

Everything's fine as long as it's
Easy rollin', I never seem to worry no more, oh no

Don't have a care or worry, no need to hurry for relaxation
Turnin' out all the hassles and buldin' castles for my vacation
It's gonna be nice now

And I'm just keepin' it easy rollin', no need to hurry at all
Believe it, you don't have to worry

I'm livin' a dream a minute, deep down within it my life's a
flower
I think that I wouldn't change or rearrange a single hour

Everything's fine now; it's got to be easy rollin'
Don't you worry at all, don't you worry no more
Don't have to hurry home, keep it easy


8.You Better Run

Lyricist:Edward Brigati, Felix Cavaliere

What you tryin' do to my heart?
What you tryin' do to my heart?
You go around tellin' lies
You foolin' round with the other guy's
What you tryin' do to my heart?

You better run
You better hide
You better leave from my side

What you tryin' do to my soul?
What you tryin' do to my soul?
Everythin' I had was yours
And no I'm closing all the doors
What you tryin' do to my soul?

You better run
You better hide
You better leave from my side

I love you girl, I love you so
Can't you see it, don't you know
I can't stand you alibi
You're tellin' lies, and tell me why

What you tryin' do to my head?
What you tryin' do to my head?
Now I go my jaw out of line
You're not gonna take my mind?
What you tryin' do to my head?

You better run
You better hide
You better leave from my side


9.How Can I Be Sure

Lyricist:Eddie Brigati, Felix Cavaliere

How can I be sure
In a world that's constantly changing?
How can I be sure
Where I stand with you?

Whenever I
Whenever I am away from you
I wanna die
'Cause you know I wanna stay with you

How do I know?
Maybe you're trying to use me
Flying too high can confuse me
Touch me but don't take me down

Whenever I
Whenever I am away from you
My alibi
Is telling people I don't care for you

Maybe I'm just hanging around
With my head up, upside down
It's a pity, I can't seem to find someone
Who's as pretty 'n' lovely as you

How can I be sure?
I really, really, really wanna know
I really, really, really wanna know

How's the weather?
Whether or not we're together
Together we'll see it much better
I love you, I love you forever
You know where I can be found

How can I be sure
In a world that's constantly changing?
How can I be sure?
I'll be sure with you
