Barbarella

AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION NIGHTS:

It’s a wonder
Wonder woman
You’re so wild
And wonderful
‘Cause it seems whenever
We’re together
The planets all stand still

Barbarella, psychedelia
There’s a kind of cockleshell about you
(Barbarella, ba-Barbarella)
Mmm, dazzle me with rainbow colors
Fade away the duller shade of living
Get me up high (High)
Teach me to fly (Fly)
Electrify (Electrify my night)

My night, with starry light
Above the stratosphere
Bring your dearness near
‘Til the dawn comes tumbling down
(Don’t make a sound, shh)
Every word we need comes
From the skies
Can’t you read my eyes
Saying “love”?
[Bridge 2]
Whoa, you give me a cold shoulder
Still I’m dying, girl, to hold ya
And make love
Love (Ba-ba, ba-bow!)

Barbarella, psychedelia
Never can a fella name or clone you

Barbarella, ba-Barbarella
Barbarella, ba-Barbarella
Barbarella, ba-Barbarella
Barbarella
(Ba-Barbarella, ba-ba)
(Ba-Barbarella, ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba-Barbarella
(Ba-Barbarella, ba-ba)
Ba-ba-Barbarella!

Cabaret

“What good is sitting alone In your room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.
Put down the knitting,
The book and the broom.
It’s time for a holiday.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum
Come to the Cabaret.
Come taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow a horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table’s waiting.
What good’s permitting
Some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret!
I used to have a girlfriend
Known as Elsie,
With whom I shared
Four sordid rooms in Chelsea
She wasn’t what you’d call
A blushing flower…
As a matter of fact
She rented by the hour.
The day she died the neighbors
Came to snicker:
“Well, that’s what comes
From too much pills and liquor.”
But when I saw her laid out like a Queen,
She was the happiest… corpse…
I’d ever seen.
I think of Elsie to this very day.
I remember how she’d turn to me and say:
“What good is sitting all alone in you room?
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Come to the Cabaret.”
And as for me,
I made my mind up back in Chelsea,
When I go, I’m going like Elsie.
Start by admitting
From cradle to tomb
It isn’t that long a stay.
Life is a Cabaret, old chum,
Only a Cabaret, old chum
And I love a Cabaret.

Waiting for the Right Time

I’m waiting For the right time
If we meet Wonder what I’ll find
It’s all in my head
But I wish she could be mine, yeah
Hiding, all the love inside

It’s hell to know
She doesn’t know
But I want to tell you
She drives me out of my mind

I’m waiting For love to come my way
So I wrote her a letter the other day
So many things that I wanted to say to her
Maybe now the pain will go away

It’s hell to know
She doesn’t know
But I want to tell you
She drives me out of my mind

I’m waiting How long is it gonna be
A face in a crowd
Does she ever noticed me
We never met, so wish she a fantasy
How can I know, I’ll have to wait and see
It’s hell to know
She doesn’t know
But I want to tell you
She drives me out of my mind

Kashmir

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
And stars fill my dream
I’m a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
To sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
They talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed
Talk in song from tongues of lilting grace
Sounds caress my ear
And not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Oh, baby, I been blind
Oh, yeah, mama, there ain’t no denyin’
Oh, ooh yes, I been blind
Mama, mama, ain’t no denyin’, no denyin’
All I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Try to find, try to find the way I feel
Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like sorts inside a dream
Leave the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
My shangri la beneath the summer moon
I will return again
As the dust that floats high in June
We’re moving through Kashmir
Oh, father of the four winds fill my sails
Cross the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear
Oh, when I want, when I’m on my way, yeah
And my feet wear my fickle way to stay
Ooh, yeah yeah, oh, yeah yeah,
But I’m down oh, yeah yeah, oh, yeah
Yeah, but I’m down, so down
Ooh, my baby, oh, my baby
Let me take you there
Come on, oh let me take you there
Let me take you there

Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Oh I’ll tell you a tale of a pirate queen
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean Sea
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen
The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Born in Ireland scandalously
Bastard daughter
To a prosperous lawyer
Shunned suitor and society
For the love of a pirate boy

So Calico Jack and our Anne Bonny
Passione lovers
Villainous plunderers
Sailed off for a life of piracy
On his ship, The Revenge, Ahoy

Oh I’ll tell you a tale of a pirate queen
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean sea
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen
The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

But this was the 18th century
Where men make knives
And women make wives
So Anne disguised herself to be
A deadly pirate boy

Oh she plundered and murdered and raised the sea
With canons roaring
Pistols warring
She ravaged galleons mercilessly
Oh Anne Bonny

Then a fellow pirate caught a glance
Her naked chest
A woman’s breast
So she drew her cutlass and took a stand
To be Anne the Pirate Queen

Oh I’ll tell you a tale of a pirate queen
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean Sea
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen
The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

And that’s when Anne met Mary Read
A pirate siren
Female tyrant
Together they terrorized the sea
A buccaneering team

Oh they plundered and murdered and raided the sea
With cannons roaring
Pistols warring
They ravaged galleons mercilessly
Anne and Mary Read

On October 1720
Gold they struck
So the boys got drunk
An easy opportunity
For a ship of British marines

Anne and Mary fought alone
With cutlass flying
Pistols firing
They fought hard for their own throne
But lost their victory

And so the crew were captured
Thrown in prison
Death by hanging
But Anne Bonny was pardoned
For her belly held a child

So she paid her Jack a visit
And this she said
With no tear shed

“if you had fought like a man
you wouldn’t be about to die like a dog”

And she turned on her heel
Walked out of the door
And vanished
Into legend

Oh I’ll tell you a tale of a pirate queen
A she-wolf who reigned the Caribbean sea
With a pistol-a-ready and a cutlass keen
The villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny
Villainous, infamous Anne Bonny

Robert Mackenzie

32 down on the Robert MacKenzie

32 men on a Great Lake boat
Quit the pier at Thunder Bay
28,000 tons of coal
On a cold November day
800 feet and 10 more along
80 feet across
The steel mills of Detroit
Our destination through the frost

At 2 AM on the 2nd
Waves were runnin’ up to 40 feet
Winds were blowing up to 60 miles
Our engines crankin’ heat
At 3:13 we took a wave
The wheelhouse left behind
The radar slipped beneath the waves
And we were runnin’ blind

[Bridge]
Hear me call across the waves
If I don’t come home tonight
I will make it home some day

[Chorus]
(Steel boats, iron men)
32 down on the Robert MacKenzie
(Steel boats, iron men)
32 down on the Robert MacKenzie
(Steel boats, iron men)
32 down on the Robert MacKenzie
Our captain name of Phillips
Seekin’ shelter from the storm
Turned us South of Bete Grise Bay
By way of Keweenaw Point
But the winds were pushin’ at such a rate
We ended up driftin’ North
A wave broke over a knife of rock
Six Fathom Shoal

MacKenzie she was cut in half
The stern she rammed the bow
The men were caught in metal chunks
The flames burned out of hell
Stern kept runnin’ all the lights ablaze
Not one man would be found
Captain’s last transmission read
32 men down

[Bridge]
Hear me call across the waves
If I don’t come home tonight
I will make it home someday

[Chorus]
(Steel boats, iron men)
32 down on the Robert MacKenzie
(Steel boats, iron men)
32 down on the Robert MacKenzie
(Steel boats, iron men)
32 down on the Robert MacKenzie
Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down

Hear me call across the waves
If I don’t come home tonight
I will make it home someday

Yes, I call across the waves
If i don’t come home tonight
I will make it home some day
