Run, run, run Run, run, run Run, run, run Run, run, run Well baby, better take my advice A black cat crossed your path twice The moon came out next to the 1 Then you opened your umbrella in a room chorus: You better run, run, run Run, run, run Run, run, run Run, run, run Well you ain't the luckiest girl I know And you won't get luckier the way you're going Your horseshoe's rusty and your mirror's cracked You walk under ladders then you walk right back (chorus) When you dropped that little pin Never thought what a mess it'd get you in Little pin, little pin, bring me luck Because I stopped to pick you up (chorus) Well now, little girl, I'm helping you I hope you believe what I say is true Whenever you run, I'll be running too Whenever you run, I'll be following you (chorus) Run, run, run
Look, he's crawling up my wall Black and hairy, very small Now he's up above my head Hanging by a little thread Boris the spider Boris the spider Now he's dropped on to the floor Heading for the bedroom door Maybe he's as scared as me Where's he gone now, I can't see Boris the spider Boris the spider Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly There he is wrapped in a ball Doesn't seem to move at all Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure Pick this book up off the floor Boris the spider Boris the spider Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly He's come to a sticky end Don't think he will ever mend Never more will he crawl 'round He's embedded in the ground Boris the spider Boris the spider
Knowing Is what people tell you That you're thinking wrong Embrace you, But they really mean "So long" You talk to them They laugh aloud Yet they run to you In any crowd Please talk to me again I need you We're dancing We will come and dance near you We want to learn Let us come and sitar with you Distort my ears when The music's loud Yet you raise your hatchet In the yellow crowd Please talk to me again I need you Knowing Is what people tell you That you're thinking wrong Embrace you, But they really mean "So long" You talk to them They laugh aloud Yet they run to you In any crowd Please talk to me again I need you
Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one Seemingly I must be mad, Insanity is fun If that's the way it's done Doctors say he just a figment of my twisted mind If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind Two men dressed in white collected me two days ago They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go Whiskey Man will waste away if he's left on his own I can't even ring him 'cause he isn't on the phone Hasn't got a home Life is very gloomy in my little padded cell It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine Just fine
Heat wave Heat wave Whenever I'm with you Something inside Starts to burn deep And my heart's filled with fire Could be that I'm very sentimental Or is this just the way love's supposed to be? chorus: I got a heat wave Burning in my heart I can't keep from crying Tearing me apart Sometimes she calls my name Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain I feel, yeah I feel I feel this burning flame This high blood pressure's got a hold on me 'Cause this is the way love's supposed to be (chorus) Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Just give me another chance This could be a new romance Heat wave Heat wave Heat wave Heat wave

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key So they rode on his head on their furry donkey The kids couldn't hurt Jack They tried and tried and tried They dropped things on his back And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy The kids couldn't hurt Jack They tried and tried and tried They dropped things on his back And lied and lied and lied and lied and lied But they couldn't stop Jack, or the waters lapping And they couldn't prevent Jack from feeling happy (I saw ya!)
