mungo jerry - movin on

Got up this morning, got an aching head,
Been sleepin' on the floor cause there's people in my bed,
I've been sleepin', sleepin' on the floor it's so sad,
Think I'll pack up my belongings and get myself another new pad

The sun is getting hot, burning on my back,
Wonder what I'm doing still searching for a flat,
I should be swimming, swimming in the deep blue sea,
Getting plenty of fresh air instead of working in a factory

Well I took my guitar and some bread and some clothes,
And I started off down the road,
Kept walking all day until the sun went down,
Yeah, deep down, melting and sinking into the ground,
The watery sky, the tears in its' eye, as it sank through the clouds and began to die

Got down to the coast, before the morning tide,
Done one hundred miles and it only took three rides,
I'm so happy just a sitting here by the sea,
The only thing I'm missing is some female company

Rolling in the sand, having lots of fun,
Watching all the ladies just lazing in the sun,
Well I got one and she had two good friends as well,
Gonna buy a bottle of gin and get them as drunk as hell

Sitting on the beach drinking round by the fire,
I played the guitar and sang a tune,
Everybody's happy just a dancing around,
Dancing around, fooling around, the blood in their veins beginning to pound,
Pounding away, the night into day, the morning appears warming the ground

Sleeping on the beach and the fuzz come along,
They said "You move, You gotta move on",
"You can't stay here just drinking that beer",
"You gotta move You gotta move on",
"Come on everybody stop a hanging around",
"You gotta move You gotta move on"
"We'll give You ten minutes and you better be gone",-

mungo jerry - all i wanna do

Travelling through the hills, searching for those fast car thrills,
See the wind, the wind is blowing in her hair,
Speeding through the night, just another fast car flight,
Music playing electric rhythms in the air.

Refrão:
All I wanna do is have the love of a girl like you,
When you let me ride, you're gonna let me go,
Only wanna be is with your soft skin touching me,
When you let me ride, you're gonna let me go.

Thinking of romance, a whirling, twirling gypsy dance,
Camp-fire burning, strumming on a warm guitar,
Spinning out of reach, two naked lovers, a deserted beach,
It's a dream, conjures up a long ago

[Repete o refrão]

mungo jerry - in the summertime

In the summertime when the weather's high,
You can stretch right up and touch the sky,
When the weather's fine,
You got women, you got women on your mind.
Have a drink, have a drive,
Go out and see what you can find.

If her daddy's rich, take her out for a meal.
If her daddy's poor, just do what you feel.
Speed along the land,
Do a ton, or a ton and twentyfive.
When the sun goes down, you can make it,
Make it good in a lay-by.

We're not grey people, we're not dirty, we're not mean.
We love everybody, but we do as we please.
When the weather's fine
We go fishing or go swimming in the sea.
We're always happy,
Live's for living, yeah, that's our philosophy.

Sing along with us, dee-dee-dee-dee-dee.
Da-da-da-da-da...
Yeah, we're happy happy, da-da-da-da-dah.

When the winter's here, then it's party time.
Bring a bottle,
Wear your bright clothes. it'll soon be summertime.
And we'll sing again,
We'll go drivin' or maybe we'll settle down.
If she's rich, if she's nice,
Bring you're friends and we'll all go into town.

mungo jerry - jesse james

Now Jesse James was a man who killed many men,
He robbed the Glendale train,
All the folks from round about said, "Yes, without a doubt,
it was robbed by Frank and Jesse James"

Chorus:
Jesse had a wife to mourn for his life,
Three children they were so brave,
But that dirty little coward that shot him, Mr Ford,
And he laid Jesse James in his grave

It was on a Wednesday night when the moon was shining bright,
That I robbed the Glendale train,
All the folks from round about said, "Yes, without a doubt,
it was robbed by Frank and Jesse James"

Repeat Chorus:

It was on a Wednesday night when the moon was shining bright,
Jesse was talking to his family brave,
When along came Robert Ford like a thief in the black,
And he shot Jesse James in the back

mungo jerry - 46 and on

Back in '46 the year I was born,
They learned a lot of things, it was the end of the war,
Sweets were on ration, there wasn't much fashion,
But everybody had fun, there was so much to be done,
Peace in the air, new coats on the chair,
You could turn out a light, and go out at night

The radio brought new sounds to the air,
The comics we bought, were full of good gear,
Superman, Spiderman, Marvelman, Desperate Dan,
Superboy, Wonderboy, Fab Four, Rob Roy

When I was real small, before I went to school,
We'd play on the fields, or go to the pool,
We might build a camp and hide from out dads,
Or go to the park and stay out 'till dark,
Play doctors and nurse and chase all the girls,
They'd tell their mums and we would be cursed

We'd chew lots of gum, knock doors and run,
Play do or dare, and get real scared,
The big boys would laugh they thought they were hard,
We'd kiss our first chick and show thew our stick,
Those times are gone but it's still goin' on,
I remember those days and it still turns me on

I first heard rock an' roll when I was ten,
It was Bill Haley's voice, I was layin' in bed,
Rock around the clock was a big hit,
But I didn't catch on 'till I heard Elvis sing,
Hound dog was the song and it didn't take long,
To get a guitar and start boppin' along

Well, I got up a group and wrote some tunes,
Hit the charts in early June,
Mighty man, In the summertime,
I've lived hard, I've lived fine,
Seen the world, sailed and flown,
Seen the best, seen the worst.

mungo jerry - always on my mind

I've bin thinkin' of you both night and day,
When I'm at work and when I'm at play,

Chorus:
Yeah you're always on my mind, girl,
Always on my mind.

When I'm at a movie and when I'm at a show,
You are always with me everywhere I go,

Repeat Chorus:

When the rain has stopped fallin',
An' the sun so longer shines,
You still will be with me,
'cause you're always there on my mind, girl,
Always on my mind

mungo jerry - because i want you

Can you hear me calling, My voice is loud and my cry rings out,
It's been said before now it's over,
I hear the sounds of the choir singing,
It only reminds me of you,
Because I want you,
There's nothing I can do.

Sitting in the chapel I hear the sounds,
But there's no one there,
I guess it's just the music of the moment,
The band strikes up the fanfare's playing,
It's the end of the show and there's no encore,
But I need you more and more.

mungo jerry - brand new car

Well everybody's talkin' 'bout my brand new car,
They say they wanna ride and they wanna go far,

Chorus:
Oh, baby ride in my brand new car,
Won't you come on baby, won't you ride in my brand new car.

It's got a bright red bonnet, it matches your dress,
reclining seats and black headrest

Repeat chorus

Turn the radio on, put a tape in the slot,
You can light a cigarette, look at the clock,

Repeat chorus

It's got a dog in the back, that nods his head,
The back seat springs, yeah, just like a bed,

Repeat chorus

Disc brakes all round, power steering too,
Twin carburetters, an ice box in the boot,

Repeat chorus

mungo jerry - cold blue excursion

At night I walk alone, through valleys filled with snow,
Darkness covers my face and my mind floats up in space,
No one protects me from the wild beasts in the trees,
Through the forest, frozen lakes, 'cross the wide open space,

Fears, I have none, on my Cold Blue Excursion

mungo jerry - coming back to you when the time comes

Just got a letter from her, sat down and read it,
Just like all the others I've had before,
brings back memories of the times we spent together,
I'll be coming back to you when the time comes.

Told me how she feels, how she feels about me,
wants me to write and say how I feel about her,
we sure had good times in that short time,
I knew her I'll be back when the time comes.

Chorus:
It won't be long before I'm up and gone,
I'll be coming back to you with all my love,
we'll share our days, share our nights,
share all the things we like,
when I'll be coming back to you when the time comes.

I've had other women that I spent my time with,
you've had other men, so we both know where we stand,
we had a good thing, let's keep it going,
I'll be coming back to you when the time comes.

Chorus:
It won't be long before I'm up and gone,
I'll be coming back to you with all my love,
we'll share our days, share our nights,
share all the things we like,
when I'll be coming back to you when the time comes.

mungo jerry - dust pneumonia blues

I've got that dust pneumonia, pneumonia in my lung,
I've got that dust pneumonia, pneumonia in my lung,
And I'm gonna sing ya this dust pneumonia song.

I went to the doctor, and the doctor said, "My son,"
Yes, I went to the doctor and the doctor said, "My son,
You got that dust pneumonia and you ain't got long."

Now there ought to be some yodelling in this song,
There ought to be some yodelling in this song,
But I can't yodel for the rattling in my lung.

My good girl sings the dust pneumonia blues,
My good girl sings the dustpneumonia blues,
She loves me but she's got the dustpneumonia too.

If it wasn't for choppin' my ax would turn to rust,
If it wasn't for choppin' my ax would turn to rust,
I can't find a woman in this black old texas dust.

Down in Oklahoma the wind blows mighty strong,
Down in Oklahoma the wind blows mighty strong,
If you want to get in, mama, just sing a california song.

Down in Texas my gal fainted in the rain,
Down in Texas my gal fainted in the rain,
I throwed a bucket o' dirt in her face just to bring her back again.

Out in the streets, out in the fields, over the hills and the valleys,
Up on the mountains, up through the clouds, yeah, I'll take you where I'm going.

I'll take the fast train, far from pollution, I'll take you where I'm going.
