Salamanda Palaganda

Small girl with the smiling gibbon
Bridled with an orchid ribbon
His curved brow in Scarlatti fashion
Boots that ride the night sky eagle.
An old crone squirms upon a cushion
Made from Madras silk and satin
Her steel eyes hold a scimitar passion
For the skull hewn in Scarlatti fashion.
A cobra seer with the punctured ear
Slaughtered a Malayan sun bear
Night stood erect with bronzen haunches
Zapped the seer and gave the bear back to us
Salamanda Palaganda
Oh Palomino Blue
Salamanda Palaganda
June's buffalo too
In the Parisian zoo.

Sally Was An Angel [some guesses here]
Sally was an angel
But angel's are a fake
Could she just be a yesterday's scene
Trying to make a break

But I'm so lonely, mama
But I'm so lonely
This fallen woman,
In my mind, the death of me

Sally was a girl child
When I first knifed her heart
Now she's dead, but whose this head
Speaking of things apart

But I'm so lonely, mama
But I'm so lonely
This fallen woman
In my mind, the death of me

Sally was a girl child
When I first knifed her heart
Now she's dead, but whose this head
Speaking of things apart

Well I'm so lonely, mama
Well I'm so lonely
This fallen woman
Gonna be in my mind, the death of me

Ahhh, Mama
 

San Francisco Poet

His schooling days were ruling days to show it
To all the people eagerly wanting to blow it
Crazy just to see how foolish I can be
If he happens to be a San Francisco poet

Hey there Frisco poetically speaking
The days of the beatnicks are gone
Hey there Frisco poetically speaking
The Bible's all written wrong.

His schooling days were ruling days to show it
To all the people eagerly wanting to blow it
Crazy just to see how foolish I can be
If he happens to be a San Francisco poet

Sara Crazy Child

Sara Crazy Child is devouring all the street
With her pastel tortured dress
And her seductive bongo beat
Her skin's wild like the olives
And her Body's bitter sweet
Still she's only just thirteen
And she's forgotten how to dream.

Her brother the Juke Box King
With his venom mouthy sting
And his knowledge twisted hair
And his 1920's stare
He lives beneath the roadway
In a Minotaur's lair
In summer he's a young boy
But in winter he's a bear

Broken dusty mother [mama - John's Children version]
Her face melted just like wax
Her once gazelle like features
Bloodied by the age axe
Sepia picture postcard
Of the twosome of their home
Soulessly they submitted to
The guillotine of their own.
 

Saturday Night


I went down to your place baby
On a Saturday night
Everyone we knew was there
But you were out of sight

There was Neon Henry
With the flashing head
I knew him well
But any place is outer space
Without my girl
And I'm singing

I went down to your place baby
On a Saturday night
Everyone we knew was there
But you were out of sight

There was pig-face Kim
I knew her well
But where were you>
Everyone we knew was there
But without you there seemed so few
And I'm singing

Repeat first two verses to fade....

 

Savage Beethoven

Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven
Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven
I don't care, 'cos I'm no square
Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven

Walking 'round at night
Squeeze my trigger tight
You a tie-dye statuette
'Cos you dance that midnight madness dance [??]

Because!

Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven
Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven
I don't care, 'cos I'm no square

'Cos you dance the minuet

Oh Gosh!

Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven
Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven
I don't care, 'cos I'm no square
Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven

Walking 'round at night
Squeeze my trigger tight
You a tie-dye statuette
When  you dance the minuet

Oh Gosh!

Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven
Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven
I don't care, 'cos I'm no square
Oh yeah, I'm a Savage Beethoven

Scenescof

Smile your smile Mister Scenescof
Its not hard to have run off
On a physical ride
With my babe by your side
Smile your smile for a while

It was grand to have known her
It was grand to have known her
I don't need anyone
To dictate all my fun
Smile your smile and then run

Scenescof Dynasty, The

Meeting behind the iron sling
My brandy tongue was like a caterpillar thing
Suzy-hung up on Joan of Arc
Cloudily gave me the key to the dark
Scraping the lice from my bed
I sussed we were teleported into his head
A wormy blood train expected our feet
But I cradled Suzy's head in my lap
And fitted the stair into her gap
And led her off the Astral plane
Sculptin' her features in flesh
Her Alice eyes scan the mythical scene
And rose on the veiny snake train
And prayed to his bastille sky brain
The driver was a cancer growth cell
His words were just recorded tapes of Hell
He left us in the room of faded scrolls
In a window wall we saw a good thought chained
But knifed into a portion of his brain
Was a whitish through back to the green
Amazon leach
It was interlocked between his angel eyes
Which were bleached transparent
And his marble lips were paralised
We swum and ran knee deep in plasma
The cello stairs receded in size
The sunken landscape eclipsing into
A pair of blue Tazmainian eyes
Scenescof then became a midget
Scratching at the bone in my knee
Then an ear without a body
Listening to my mental sea
Suzy sat behind some loose flesh
Her pirate thoughts were both young and old
Reduced to wearing blood clot earrings
She held me near she felt the cold
We ran just like young fauns
And me I fought a great worm
Sent to taste my jaguar feet
And used his skin to make my wings begin
I sussed and stole a scene from Icarus
And flew us above some uncooked meat
A plastic hook pierced through my instep
I flew too near his Brutus heart
But Suzy hip to all the future
Played the Victorian heroin's part
With my busted leg and rusty head
And Suzy in a Hipolite dream
I brandished my breathing machete
While Scenescof prepared his gorgon machine
It flew out from his eyelid island
It's Vulcan teeth and hydra spray
It's scaley tong claws ripping rainbows
it moved it's cave lips in worlds of movement
It makes a sound it seemed to say
Keep cool the satin sun is yours
I see your youthy aura's bright
Expel your tears and jungle fears
I'm here it's going to be alright
Then Scenescof screamed his charlatan hair
Quick silvered from black to grey
Then the gorgon moved the lizard dial
And was transformed into Grecian dust
And from the sand was born a blackened horned storm
With a charger and a spear
As he moved his limbs
The legend shaft sliced Scenescof from ear to ear.

Sea Beasts, The

The sea beasts scull the waters
Feeling fear for thee
The hawks that tamed the skies
Wish you so well to be.

A
Foal in the fields
With the bless of the hills your
Shore and you're poor and your sore feetys
Ne'er to be bore
By man's claw.

The horned dog guarding grandly
Daughters of the Sun
At night in twilight groves
His pray for you is begun.

You
Foal in the fields
With the bless of the hills on your
Shore and you're poor and your sore feetys
Ne'er to be bore
By man's claw.

The bull of gold that's old
Beyond the songs of man
Keeps watch upon the fates
When they misweave your strand.

O
Foal in the fields
With the bless of the hills on your
Shore and you're poor and your sore feetys
Ne'er to be bore
By man's claw.

UFO, UFO you are
UFO, UFO you are
UFO, UFO you are, a colt.

Seagull Woman

One day she came like a seagull woman
One day she came

One day she came like a seagull woman
One day she came

One day we change from children into people
One day we change

One day she went like a seagull woman
One day.

Seal of Seasons, The

The seal of seasons moved with grace
Love
Upon the Orkney oceans face
Love
She swam and moved
Just like a prancer
A gypsy dancer
A salty shimmered shell of foam.

Out of the depths she stood before me
One breath and shells grew on my nut tree
It swayed and swum
Just like a prancer
A gypsy dancer
A salty shimmered shell of foam.

Her night it came and then she hooked her head
Unto the fleeing sun and then she fled
And flew whou
Just like a prancer
A gypsy dancer
A salty, shimmered shell of foam.
 

Sensation Boulevard

In this crazy world
Where jive's the game
They've got lonely me
Gold plated on their brains

Slash cut boogie strut
The mark of the beast
Watch the groovies dance
At the peacock feast

Lady luck I want you
Bumping by my side
Like a silk shod connector
On a midnight ride

Take me down to Sensation Boulevard
Take me down to Sensation Boulevard
 I got to go down

She Was Born To Be My Unicorn

She was born to be my Unicorn
Robed head of ferns
Cat child. tutored by the learned.

Darkly ghostish host
Haggard vizier of the moats
Seeks the sandled shores of Gods
Baby of the moors.

The night-mare's mauve mashed mind
Sights the visions of the blinds
Shore-side stream of steam
Cooking kings in cream of scream.

Jackdaw winter head
Cleans his chalcedony bed
A silken word of kind
Was returned from Nijinsky Hind.

Giant of Inca hill
Loosed his boar to gorely kill
The dancing one-horned waif
In doublet of puffin-bill.

The beast in feast of sound
Kittened lamb on God's ground
Ridden by the born of horn
Jigged like a muse on life's lawn.
 

Shock Rock

O baby, pretty baby you're my girl

If you know how to rock

Shy Boy

I don't want to be no shy boy
The one that always cries boy
And never gets his girl
Don't you understand that
I've got to have that girl boy
To be my pride and joy boy
To hold her hand
In this magic land

I know that I'm a young boy
A kind of unsung boy
Not a man of the world
But baby you know that...
Love is a wonderful thing, girl
Turns a prince into a king, girl
Don't you understand

And when I'm all alone
I wait for the telephone
To ring

Repeat first two verses and fade...


Sing Me A Song

And I'll show you a song that stands for living

Scream that's your dream, it's so real

And I'll show you a song that stands for living
Sing me a song that the world can sing along
And I'll show you a song from the heart

Slider, The

I could never understand
The wind at all
Was like a ball of love

I could never never see
The cosmic sea
Was like a bumble bee

And when I'm sad...
I slide.

I have never never kissed
A car before
It's like a door

I have always always
Grown my own before
All schools are strange

And when I'm sad...
I slide.

I have never never
Nailed a nose before
That’s how the garden grows

I could never understand
The wind at all
Was like a ball of love

And when I'm sad...
I Slide

Watch now
I'm gonna slide

Spaceball Ricochet

I'm just a man
I understand the wind
And all the things
That make the children cry

With my Les Paul
I know I'm small
But I enjoy living
Anyway

Book after book
I get hooked
Every time the writer
Talks to me like a friend

What can I do
We just live in a zoo
All I do is play
The spaceball ricochet

Deep in my heart
Three’s a house
That can hold
Almost all of you

I brought a car
It was old but kind
I gave it my mind
And it disappeared

I love a girl
She is a changeless angel
She’s a city it's a pity
That I'm like me

I said how can I lay
When all I do is play
The spaceball ricochet
 

Space Boss

Space Boss, Space Boss
Wrapped and packed and pressed to go out
Rock and Roll is welcome where I'm at

Are you the space boss
Will you see me at any cost
Are you are you are you are you
Are you now
Are you are you are you are you
Are you now
The space boss

Ready the flight thrust
Did you crunch your aircraft
Are you are you are you are you
Are you now
Are you are you are you are you
Are you now
The space boss

The identical twin
And her diluted, fluted grin
Oooh

Are you are you are you are you
Are you now
Are you are you are you are you
Are you now
The space boss
The space boss say it again

I said are you are you are you are you
Are you now
Are you are you are you are you
Are you now
The space boss
The space boss
Can you dig it
Now you've lighted my innermost eye
It's Rock and Roll stuff

Your the Space Boss
It ain't nothin'
No it wouldn't be lost
If I could mould my hands with the Space Boss
Like a S-P-A-C-E
That spells -space- baby

Stacey Grove

Stacy Grove he's a roaming prophet of mine,
Hat full of wine.
Stacy Grove he's a roving catcher of skies,
Forecaster of eyes, so no lies.

Dungaree dome is decked like a pagan temple to Zeus
He drinks acorn juice.
Roasting his feet by the furnace of peat,
He roars at the boars who massively sleep at his feet.

Antelope head his beard skylark red
Is tucked 'neath the good of his summer sun hood.
And now that the gate of his evening is late
He sits on a log picking ticks off the back of his dog.

Strange Orchestras

Saw a face in a conical of lace, it was a strange orchestra
Manikin skin pounding on a bass-drum, strange orchestra

Lilliputian, evil in the eyes of the man with the leaf harp
He lusts for the urchin hiding under mountains of mole skin

A big cat like t-tyrannosaurus going to Lilliput
The ensemble make a tiny rumble, the celloist solos

The sky blackens and the bass string slackens and they stand statuesquely
Then they giggle and they wiggle through the door in the big dark oak tree
 
 

Street and Babe Shadow, The

Tiger Tim, the tightrope walker
Tried to steal the Drag Queen's daughter
Babe
I do mean babe

Menace lurks in houses only
Where the hearts are fat and boney
Babe
I do mean babe

Golden risks and Folly's rainbows
Down the drain, where all the time goes
Babe
I do mean babe

Frozen Joe, the ballet boxer
Chromed his toes to get his rocks off
Babe
I do mean babe

All the bats and all the peacocks
Built a ship and flew to Venus
Babe
I do mean babe

Pain is meat and meat is people
Your head's a house, your soul's the steeple
Babe
I do mean babe

Painted toes and purple ear lobes
Life's a gas, but it's such a scene though
Babe
I do mean babe
I do mean babe

Shake!

I could tell you something
I could tell you something
Babe
I do mean babe

Summer deep is in the hills again
His lady is a lioness
Winds of birds blow through the fields again

The truth is like a stranger

Be like you could
All my friends say.

Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream

Surprise surprise, the boys are home
My guardian angel's rung down my telephone
The heat's on mister,
Can't you hear them scream
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream

The curfew comes at the crack of night
The sad old wino aches to dissipate the fright
The Jet Junk Jiver speeds past in his machine
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream

A broken god from a musty world
Sweetly mouthed touched an onyx girl.
His prison bars were very hard to clean
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream

-Ahhhh, Yeah

The Wizard of Oz and the bronzen theif
Ruled my girl with Teutonic teeth
But all was lost when her mouth turned green
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream

Silver Surfer and the Ragged Kid
Are all sad and rusted boy, they don't have a gig
Believe me Pope Paul my toes are clean
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream

Black is black and white is white
Some go to Heaven and some get it light
Nobody disapproves but his wicked screams

Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream

Black is black and white is white
Some go to heaven and some get it light
Nobody disapproves, but his wicked screams
Whatever happened to the Teenage Dream

Teenage blues to me, boy

Teen Riot Structure

Teen riot structure
Ankle deep in fear
Babies lost in bellies
And the oracle can't hear

A demon angel demi-god
Blasted through the night
Me and Lucy Lightning
Holding on real tight

An ancient Lord in wonder
Rung upon my bell
I fed him with my nightmares
But he ate my dreams as well

All London was in blazes
Burning to the sound
Of deep galactic tragedies
In stereophonic sound

A tempest teen of stature
In Gatsby hat and cloak
Licked upon my lollipop
But I didn't get the joke

As devastation mounted
My wardrobes almost burned
The teens held hands on shifting sand
I wonder what they learned

Structure
My teen riot structure
Teen riot structure
My teen riot structure

Theme For A Dragon

Deep beneath an ancient shadow
Stunned with age and too much wisdom
Reclining in glass with eyes too steep
Relentless dimensions of quadraphonic sleep
Dwelt the wild grinding cyclopean pagan
Screaming destruction in sheer dazzling raiment
A thunderbolt master a 'lectronic' saviour
A gold galactic raver the Futuristic Dragon
Yes...
And I do mean Yes
Aaaargh!

There Was a Time

There was a time when everything was fine,
You got drunk all the day like it was wine,
And all the children
The put flowers in their hair
And all the grown-ups
The put daggers there instead.

Third Degree, The

Everywhere I go people question me
She read my head and I can see
Philosophizing mad psychiatrist
Closing of my mind in darkness
Beware of the third degree.

Everywhere I go people follow me
They look, they smile, they cannot see.
I am too much for them to take in
The only say that I am faking
Beware of the third degree.

Everywhere I go people always say
It's sad to see him act this way
Philosophizing mad psychiatrist
Just closing of my mind in darkness
Beware of the third degree, yeah

Sanity baby is all I got
I'm as sane as you believe it or not
Philosophizing mad psychiatrist
Just closing of my mind in darkness
Everywhere I go people laugh at me.

Throat of Winter, The

O the throat of winter is upon us
The barren barley fields refuse to sway
Before the Husky hag of early darkness
In her hoods of snowy grey.

Winter winter winter
Are you but a servant of the bad one.

Lo the frozen blue birds in the belfries
The bluebells in their hearts are surely prey
Unto the grasping bats-wing of the winter pincer
Hoods of snowy grey.
 

Thunderwing

Ah-ah-ah-ah...

I was walking down the sky-way my way
When I saw the legs that I love
I was thinking 'bout drinking something
When I saw the legs that I love

I bought a car was a low-slung thunderwing
It moved like the sun of the dawn
My little baby, she's a tippie-toed vamperator
She moved like the sun of the dawn

Woo...

Get it on, right on

Do your thing O Oh Thunderwing
Do your thing O Oh Thunderwing
Yeah, Get it on right on

Well my wig-hat moves and my spaceball boots bounce
When I hear the music I love...yeah
A soap-box cart was the start of my wandering
When I hear the music I love...yeah

Get it on, right on
Do your thing thunderwing
 

Till Dawn

One and a two and a three and four

Golden eyes on a sunset lawn
Make me feel so glad to be born
Broken pages on the edge of night
Make me want to squeeze you tight
Till dawn
Till dawn

Heat will fly on a sky of gold
Rivers flow like diamonds oh
Sweet angel girl I need you now
Locked around me like a burning house
Till dawn
Till dawn, oh

Till dawn ti-ti-till dawn
Till dawn ti-ti-till dawn

Token of My Love

You stuck behind me like a stained glass net
And I'm broken
Is that a token of your love

Everyday every single day
Does this mean my love has been awoken

Travelling Tragition, The

Shadow cloak swift as a swallow,
Pantaloon down in the hollow,
Dancing, his voice like a cloud
In the death of my night.

Awful eyes, black Persian beggar,
Harlequinesque, hair plaited heather,
Stepping so lightly,
A sprite in the house of my sight.

O m'dear, travelling Tragition,
It's sky clear, your a gift from the fair folk.

Trelawny Lawn

The flowing mane of pain swells on Trelawny Lawn
Stark handsome eyes decide the unicorn
Is a beast of borrowed wisdom
Like a thrush in the yielding harvest field
The prophet deems snow.

The silent stork of sadness scans Trelawny Lawn
The lion, the unicorn it's horn in the lap of Beth
Laments the dawn
Beguiled, the scribish jackal-man his cap a skull-of-rat
Is but a pawn.

O sky, your eyes embrace is to vicious for my wheat
The foaming Earthguard whinnies to his leaden feet
The bullfinch rumbles
The lavish lion Aslanically scythes the hay
The unicorn bids you stay.

They can't hurt you though
'Cos you're cosmic

That windy autumn day at Malibu
Your diamond eyes that shine
The rubies of your mind

Venus Loon

Oh yeah, yeah, ooh

Goin' to see my baby in the afternoon,
Goin' to take my baby on a Venus Loon.

Slipshod gymslip in my neighborhood,
Empty head, steel bed, Dipseys no good.
All alone, no telephone, to hype up my baby.

Goin' to see my baby in the afternoon,
Goin' to take my baby on a Venus Loon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Bent spent, psychedelic mailman's head,
Gorging up my spokes like the ghostly dead.
Ally pally angel chewing up my blues,

Goin' to see my baby in the afternoon,
Goin' to take my baby on a Venus Loon.

Oh my Venus Loon it'll make you swoon,
It'll make you feel good.
It'll make you feel good.
Oh my Venus Loon it'll make you swoon,
It'll make you feel good.
It'll make you feel good.

First girl I ever loved I don't recognize
Her nose is smashed her frame is bent
She's covered in flies.
Everyone I ever loved,
I'll love 'till I die.

Goin' to see my baby in the afternoon,
Goin' to take my baby on a Venus Loon.

Oh my Venus Loon it'll make you swoon,
It'll make you feel good.
It'll make you feel good.

Oh my Venus Loon it'll make you swoon,
It'll make you feel good.
It'll make you feel good.

Well, slipshod gymslip in my neighborhood,
Empty head, steel bed, Dipseys no good.
All alone, no telephone, to hype up my baby.

Goin' to take my baby on a Venus Loon.

Oh my Venus , yeah, oh....

Goin' to see my baby in the afternoon,

 Visions of Domino

This woman is a perfumed breeze
Greek Gods recline on her knees
I'd freeze the sun to kiss her ear

It all makes up the visions I call Domino
It all makes up the visions I call Domino
Right now

A suit of doubt she gave to me
In return I cried a sea
Of poet's tears and something more
I camped outside her velvet doors

Love's a freak and it moves fast
My marble dream it could not last
Now every time this girl I see
She tries to chain me to her tree

Visit, The

My eyes went up
It was sunrise
The sky turned black
It was noon
A ship of the silverest
Metal
Shadowed out
All of the moon

Truly I do love you-oo
Truly I do love you-oo

A shape
That was golden and crimson
Extended a claw
To my frame
I sunk in the sand
Like an infant
I screamed
but my tongue was lame

Truly I do love you-oo
Truly I do love you-oo

My heart on a platter
They'd stolen
My eyes
Were all fiery flame
A sound like a sweet dove
I did Stutter
And then the ship
Swum the skies again

Warlord of the Royal Crocodiles

Handsome as life
He's our lord and we trust in him
To move like the wind
As our friend and guardian.

The elements and oceans congregate on his brow
And he stalks in style like a royal crocodile.

His chariot legs
Are tree green and autumn brown
His crown of dusk is a glimpse of things to be.

In palaces and temples near the dwellings of man
If he can he'll smile 'cos he's a Royal Crocodile.

Wielder of Words (Robard de Font le Roy)

Wilder of words is steeped within traditional verbs
and curiously a dented top hat
discovered in the moonlit Laundromat

A busted cheroot is smoking on the heel of his boot
His opera is torn thru' the haste of operatic oyster
eating evenings of waste

Sleek astrakhan, reclining on a Chippendale stand
so sad they should be owning a man who's
thicker than the forestry from where they began.
Robard de Font Le Roy

Wind Cheetah

Her with moon trodden plow
Herds of African cows
Grazed on her beauty
Fragrant and pale.
Young once youthful still now
Muse to the willow and ploughed
Fields arched with orchards
Blooms of the stars.
Day whipped his black dray
Opaque orphan of Ring
Myrrh coated rider
Guider husband to Matron the King
Streams of yellowy mud
Run to the one that I love
Chained to the chalky
Chalice of night.

Wind Quartets

The wind quartet howls softly
My jeep hand strokes her necklace
Crusted, crammed with old Etruscan gold.

Her bird head torn with summer
Inspects a Spartan runner
Robbing time a chosen Prince of Speed

My goblet drenched with Autumn
Tears for my dead cat Ena
Silver Surfer scorcerer of spray.

She hooded deep in chartreuse
A falcon glimpse of white teeth
Separated by lace cinnamon folds.

We hid and rid in hansom
Cab wrenched from lost Byzantium
Lordlette who once held the earth in chains.

Wizard, The

Walking in the woods one day
I met a man who said that he was magic
Wonderful things he said
Pointed hat upon his head
Knew why people laughed and cried
Why the lived and why the died
Shadows followed him around
He walked the woods without a single sound
Golden eagles at his door
Cats and bats played on the floor
Silver sunlight in his eyes
The wizard turned and melted in the sky.

Woodland Bop, The

Everybody's doing the Woodland Bop
Once you start you will find it hard to stop.
In the hallowed morning
See her in the moon-white
Streaking across the skies
In the evening dusk dunes
See her like a sun bird
Streaking across the skies

Woodland Rock, The

There's a man on the corner
Got his head in his hat
He dances like a gypsy
so he must be where it's at.
Do the rock
do the woodland rock
Let it all hang out,
Everybody shout,

Do the rock - do the woodland rock.
The wind is the thing
That makes the body swing
It brings you up and takes you down
And treats you like a king
Do the rock
Do the woodland rock
Let it all hang out,
Everybody shout
Do the rock - do the woodland rock.

Met a little momma
She was sweet, she was gone
She's got legs like a railroad
Face like a song
Do the rock
Do the woodland rock
Let it all hang out,
Everybody shout
Do the rock - do the woodland rock.

Wind is in the willows
My house is up a tree
The seas of change are flowing
I want everybody free
To do the rock - do the woodland rock
Let it all hang out,
Everybody shout
Do the rock - do the woodland rock.

Met a little momma
She was sweet, she was gone
She's got legs like a railroad
Face like a song

Ally bally bash bam
Rock-a-billy boom
Do the rock
Do the woodland rock
Let it all hang out,
Everybody shout
Do the rock - do the woodland rock.
