Live At Last

Jumping with my boy, sid
Right here in the city.
Don't you know that is was grand?
Really grand, so grand.
And then you came along,
Then you came along, boy.
And sang your groovy song,
Sang a song and i asked:

Mr. whatchacallem, whatcha doing tonight?
Hope you're in the mood
Because i'm feeling just right.
How's about a corner
With a table for two?
Where the music's mellow
Is a gay rendezvous.
There's no chance romancing
With a blue attitude.
You know you got to do some dancing
To get in the mood.

Mr. watchacallem, i'm indebted to you.
You're here. it goes to show what good influence can do.
Never felt so happy or so fully alive.
He's a jam a jumpin', it's a powerful jive!
Swing-a-roo is giving me a new attitude.
My heart is full of rhythm
And i'm in the mood.

In the mood (oh boy) be mine forever.
In the groove (that boy) and leave me never.
In the mood (oh joy) give me some kissing.
You know it won't be long
Before you're in the mood!

Don't be rude, i love you madly.
It's up to you, i'll take you gladly.
Love is blind, my vision's hazy.
It didn't take me long to say
I'm in the mood!

Do ba do ba do bop boo da da day.
Ba da-n-da da-n do da-n do day.
Who's that guy with the beautiful eyes?
'n' look at those lips, i'd try 'em for size.
Hey! swing with me!
What a wing it'd be!
May i intrude? it's time to dance
And i'm in the mood!

Oh, hold me darling, let's dance.
What a dreamy romance.
It's a quarter to three.
There's a mess-o-that moon.
Let's share it with me.
You know, i think it's rude
To keep me this way
When i'm in the mood.
I'm in the mood, in the groove!
In the mood, ah, ah, ah!

Man-oh-man, wow!
Now you really got me lookin'.
Oh, and you really got me cookin', oh!

My heart went flip, my brain went skip.
I said c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon.
I'm hot now! i love you madly!
Right now! i'll take you gladly!
Tight now! i'll be in!
And now i'm really in the mood, boy!

Rompin'! stompin'! smokin'!
Why don't we go somewhere and smooch, boy?

It's got to be right now!
It's gotta be right now!
It's got to be right now!
I'm only saying that it didn't take me long,
Didn't take me long, didn't take me long
To say i'm in the mood.
Your flat foot floozy wants a good boy!

Come with me, come with me
And we shall run across the sky.
We illuminate the night.
Ohhhh, i, i will try and guide you
To better times and brighter days.
Just don't be afraid.

Come on up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better.
Let's go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be closer to heaven.

Stay with me, stay with me
And we shall let expression sing.
Hear freedom ringin'.
Ohhh, memories of yesterday's broken dreams.
Hey, don't you know, don't you know
That they are gonna fade away?
Don't be afraid.

Come on up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better.
Let's go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be closer to heaven.

We'll laugh, i'll tell you the story of love.
How it is, the happiness in it, baby.
Combine these thoughts and together we'll travel
To the fountain of lovingness.
I will never, never, never, never,
Never leave you, baby.
As we grow older and older and older, babe.

Stand with song and sing:
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go?
Say, don't you wanna go

Up the ladder to the roof
Where we can see heaven much better.
Let's go up the ladder to the roof
Where we can be closer to heaven.

Let's go up the, up the, up the ladder to heaven.
Heaven, heaven, heaven, heaven.

He's gonna haul it down!
Ain't nobody home but, you believe it,
There's nobody home but me! wo!

"doctor long john. my dreams are full of doctor long john."
I got a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
I have a dentist who's over seven feet tall.
His name is doctor long john
And he answers every call.

You know, i went to long joh's office.
I said, "doctor, the pain is killing me."
I went to long john's office.
I said, "doctor, the pain is killing."
He said, "don't worry, baby.
It's just your cavity needs a little filling."

He took out his trusty drill.
Told me to open wide.
He said he wouldn't hurt me,
But he filled my whole inside.
Long john, long john, don't you ever go away. no.
'cause you thrill me when you drill me,
And i don't need no novocain today.

Oh, when he got done drilin' he said,
"now, miss midler, that is going to cost you ten."
"i was prepared to pay twenty"
Yeah, yeah, when he got done drillin' he said,
"baby, that is going to cost you ten.
But if it ever starts in to throbbing,
Come back and see old long john
Again and again and again and again and again.
Oh, yeah. yow!

"long john. i sold my heart to doctor long john and i will never, never be the same. oh, that's so heavy i just gotta lay back."

"oh god, oh god. dumping so early in the evening. i really didn't mean that. i really didn't mean that."

Above the ground, i'm lifted to the sky,
And down like a tumbling weed i found myself stranded high and dry.
A circus ride, oh, it only costs a dime,
But if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay a lifetime.

'cause love is a carnival
With lots of laughs, wonderful rides and danger.
But it feels so good.
With rockets shootin' in your head,
'round and 'round and 'round you go.
Bang, you're dead, baby. bang, you're dead, baby.

Like a boomerang keeps twisting, twisting in your heart.
You know the funny part of it is, you always end up where you start.
You're headed for big clouds. got the silver lining.
But you're in for a big surprise.
There's a river of tears behind it.

'cause love is a carnival
With lots of baubles, bangles and beads.
Beware, beware, beware.
It feels so good, feels so good.
With rockets shootin' in your head,
'round and 'round and 'round you go.
Bang, you're dead, baby. bang, you're dead, baby.

Above the ground i'm lifted. spininng, spinning, spinning out of control.
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher!
Above the ground i'm lifted, yeah, to the sky.
And down like a tumbling weed i found myself stranded high and dry.
A circus ride, you know it, it only costs a dime,
But if you wanna see the fireworks you might have to pay.
Hey, yeah, yeah, to the sky, high. and down like a tumbling weed
I found myself stranded, stranded.
Bang, you're dead!

He was a famous trumpet man from out chicago way.
He had a boogie style that no one else could play.
He was the top man at his craft,
But then his number came up and he was gone with the draft.
He's in the army now. he's blowin' reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.

They made him blow a bugle for his uncle sam.
It really brought him down because he could not jam.
The captain seemed to understand,
Because the next day the cap' went out and drafted the band.
And now the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.

A root, a toot, a toodlie-a-da-toot.
He blows it eight to the bar in boogie rhythm.
He can't blow a note unless a bass and guitar
Is playin' with him.
And the company jumps when he plays reveille.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.

He was some boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.

He was busy as a busy bee.
And when he played he made the company jump eight to the bar.
He's the boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.

Andata toodliata-toodliata toot toot
He blows it eight to the bar.

Isn't with him.

He puts the boys to sleep with boogie every night,
And wakes 'em up the same way in the early bright.
They clap their hands and stamp their feet,
'cause they know how it goes when someone gives him a beat.
Woah, woah, he wakes 'em up when he plays reveille.
The boogie woogie bugle boy of company b.

A root, a toot, a toodli-a-da to toot toot toot
