1. A BIG SURPRISE

No use in our pretending we don't know what we know We know a lot of things I know each muscle on your back and every toe But you've held out on me, I can tell from your eyes Disguising the ace that you hold

(Chorus)
I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite It's boy meets girl and here we go once again
Where is that Yankee ingenuity

Somebody told me how the motion picture would end I turned and glared at them
And then I read the way the world was going to end With a whimpering sound, not a banging away I'm sorry I gave it away

I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite
It's boy meets girl and here we go once again Where is that Yankee ingenuity I want a big surprise tonite A really big surprise tonite


2. OCCUPATION

We cowboys are a hardy breed We eat our beans and tumbleweed We're good on horses, good with guns We smell, but so does everyone

(Chorus)
La, la, an occupation for you La, la, an occupation for you

We doctors are important men We make you feel well again You open wide and we look in And throw in several aspirin

La, la, an occupation for you La, la, an occupation for you

There are soldiers, sailors, stuntmen, jailers, Jewelers, G-men, unless your Daddy's rich

You need a
La, la, an occupation for you

We athletes run around and round We moan and groan and hit the ground
And when we get to 35 We sell cosmetics and survive

La, la, an occupation for you La, la, an occupation for you

There are bodyguards, bouncers, TV announcers,
Farmers, models, unless your Daddy's rich,

You need a
La, la, an occupation for you

We salesmen can sell a storm We sell your blankets when you're warm
And if you're really, really warm
We'll sell you two, we've got that charm
We pilots take you anywhere We'll be your father in the air We'll try to look calm and cool We're as scared as all of you

There are soldiers, sailors, stuntmen, jailers, Jewelers, G-men, unless your Daddy's filthy rich,

You need a
La, la, an occupation for you


3. LADIES

Ladies, ladies
On the sofa next to me are Dinah Shore and Sara Lee
Ladies, ladies
In the backyard climbing trees are Princess Grace and Margaret Mead Ladies, ladies
Then you pull in the driveway You've been out shopping I've got to hide them, Hide, all you ladies
They nod and smile

They're disappearing They're fading out now And welcome home my only lady, my only lady
Ladies, ladies
Jackie's in the powder room And Lois Lane will be here soon Ladies, ladies
Eva Braun is cracking jokes
While Joan of Arc just sits and smokes Ladies, ladies
Then I call up some buddies
Hey, come on over
There's ladies present
'We'll be right over'
The ladies hear me

They're disappearing They're fading out now My friends say 'where are all the ladies,
Ladies, ladies
In my kitchen baking cake is Betty Crocker Ladies, ladies
Dolly Parton's in my pool, and Aunt Jemima's acting cool
Ladies, ladies
They're really great in person They get me going
But I'm not pushy
Don't want to blow it 'Cause if I blow it
They start a-fading
Come back my ladies Where would I be without my ladies


4. I'M NOT

First I wake up and not shave, not a very pretty day Look at the time, it's time to not go out to work today I'm not at my best today,
I'm not getting dressed today Look at the time, it's time to not eat lunch with you today
I'm not fooling when I say I'm not myself any day

(Chorus)
I'm not
In or out or up or down I'm not
Shutting up or yelling out
I'm not, I'm not

I'm not buying nothing new and I'm not nothing new No one makes me feel as though it matters what I do
I'm not watching my TV and I'm not reading magazines
And I'm not missing much and that ain't hard for me to see
You're not my type but you can stay, that's long enough, now
Go away

(Chorus)
I'm not
In or out or up or down I'm not
Shutting up or yelling out I'm not, I'm not, I'm not


5. FOREVER YOUNG

I'm gonna beat the devil and stay forever
(forever young, forever young)
I can't be pushed around and I won't get older (forever young, forever young)

Forever young, forever young, tonite and every nite Forever young, forever feeling right

I'll sit and watch the history books get thicker (forever young) (forever young) I'll meet a million girls in a million places (forever young)

Forever young, forever young, tonite and every nite

You say I'm playing God, but you're old and wasted (forever young)
Bright lights will burn forever and I'll still see them (forever young) I've broken every rule and I'll break this last one (forever young)
(forever young)
(forever young)


6. GOOFING OFF

Well, the world has started spinning 'Cause the weekend is beginning So grab anything that moves and bring some cash Yeah, I'm looking at your body And I think I need your body
Yeah, the whole entire body, bring it here
And we've got two days to try to forget
A week of crap and crud And we've got two days, so get over here
We're gonna goof off good

(Chorus)
Goofing off, goofing off I can do it, do it, do it perfectly Goofing off, goofing off It's the only thing I gladly do for free I'm goin' non-stop for 48 hours

Then I'll collapse right here Then I'll be scooped up and carried to work
And propped up in a chair Goofing off, goofing off, goofing off

Plough your way through Monday morning Plough your way through Tuesday morning Plough your way through Wednesday, Thursday, Friday too
Then the world begins to spin and spin and spin and spin and spin and I become a raving, raving, ranting fool
We're in the weekend, don't blow it, oh no
Don't blow that two day pass We're in the weekend, so get up and go
Don't sit down on your ass

(Chorus)


7. GIRLS ON THE BRAIN

I searched the whole encyclopedia from A to Z and had no luck
It listed beriberi, menopause, and even halitosis, But no luck
And then I asked my brother who is kinda thick Tell me what I got, I'm feeling really sick Brother keep away from me, you got girls on the brain
It's really rough when you got, you got girls on the brain

Everytime I go to church I just can't think about the Lord at all
Everytime I go to work it seems I'm always walking into walls
It's getting worse and worse and then you pat me on the back
In fifty years you may outgrow it just like that But until then I got, I got girls on the brain

Girls on the brain, girls on the brain Boy I'm in pain, they drive me insane It's really rough when you got, you got girls on the brain

I'll give this hundred dollar bill to anybody who can help at all
Don't everybody shout at once, I guess there's nothing can be done at all It's getting worse and worse but lately I can live with it I'm starting to enjoy it just a little bitLike it or not, I got, I got girls on the brain


8. OVER THE SUMMER

You've got to trust in summer, miracles can happen if you do
'Cause all that heat speeds change in everything, maybe even you
If you're a summertime believer If you're a summertime believer July, you were the plainest of Janes Through August, you got rearranged September, you're not just a brain

Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer

I tried to find myself this summertime, I found you instead
And please forgive me Karen, but in June you were kind of dead
But, then we had that three day hot spell
You really turned into a bombshell July, you were the plainest of Janes Through August, you got rearranged September, you're not just a brain

Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer
Over the summer you're under the summer sun Over the summer you're under the summer sun Over the summer you're under the summer sun

Lying there, lying there, lying there, getting hot You know the records that I got in June don't sound good no more
And all the clothes I bought in June are now rotting in my drawers
But you're a different girl, much better
A little redder, but much better Was it just the heat of the sun Was it that you had lots of fun I wish that the summer weren't done

Over the summer, over the summer, over the summer


9. THOSE MYSTERIES

Why is there time
Why is there space
Why are there dogs and cats and trees and the human race
And why am I here and not over there And why are there nuns And why do they pray And where do we go when we pass away And why, when I ask my Dad does he say Go ask your Mom or just go away And O.K., I'll go away, but they won't go away

(Chorus
Those mysteries Tomorrow I'll find out all I should know
Those mysteries
I don't even know what I don't even know Those mysteries
They're hanging around and around and around and around

Why is there you
Why is there me
Why does my Mother kiss my Father occasionally And why am I sore whenever I'm hit And why is there France And why is there Spain And why am I here and why is there rain And why when I ask my Dad does he say Go ask your Mom or just go away And O.K., I'll go away, but they won't go away

(Chorus)
