Testi musica canzoni

I went to a party at the local county jail

All the cons were dancing and the band began to
wail

But the guys were indiscreet

They were brawling in the street

At the local dance at the local county jail

Well the band were playing

And the booze began to flow

But the sound came over on the police car radio

Down at Precinct 49

Having a tear-gas of a time

Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of
the county jail

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

I love to hear those convicts squeal

It's a shame these slugs ain't real

But we can't have dancin' at the local county
jail

Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for
the jail

And for miles around

You could hear the sirens wail

There's a rumor goin' round death row

That a fuse is gonna blow

At the local hop at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

Sergeant Baker started talkin'

With a bullhorn in his hand

He was cool, he was clear

He was always in command

He said Blood will flow;

Here Padre

Padre you talk to your boys...

Trust in me -

God will come to set you free

Well we don't understand

Why you called in the National Guard

When Uncle Sam is the one

Who belongs in the exercise yard

We all got balls and brains

But some's got balls and chains

At the local dance at the local county jail

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets

Is it really such a crime

For a guy to spend his time

At the local dance at the local county jail

At the local dance at the local county jail

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

10CC - Silly Love

===================

Hey toots, you put the life into living

You brought a sigh into sight

Ah hon, you make my legs turn to water

You bring the stars out at night

But they ain't half so bright

As your eyes

Gee whiz, you take the beauty out of beautiful

You play the strings of my heart

Oh babe, you take the wonder out of wonderful

Oh my, oh my, and my, if you were mine

The rain would turn to sweet sweet wine

Well he's been up all night

Breakin' his head in two to write

A little sonnet for his chickadee

But between you and me

I think its sssssssssssilly. Silly

Ooh treas, you got a smile like a Rembrandt

Aha, you got the style of a queen

Oh dear, you are the petal of a rosebud

Next to you all the others could be weeds

You're the only one my garden needs

Ooh, you know the art of conversation

Must be dying

Ooh, when a romance depends on

Cliches and toupees and threepes

We're up to here with moonin' and junin'

If you want to sound sincere -

Don't rely on Crosby's croonin' -

Take a little time

Make up your own rhyme

Don't rely on mine

`Cos it's sssssssssilly - silly - silly - silly

10CC - Life Is A Minestrone

=============================

I'm dancing on the White House lawn

Sipping tea by the Taj Mahal at dawn

Hanging round the gardens of Babylon

Minnie Mouse has got it all sewn up

She gets more fan mail than the Pope

She takes the mickey out of all my phobias

Like signing cheques to ward off double pneumonia

Life is a minestrone

Served up with parmesan cheese

Death is a cold Lasagne

Suspended in deep freeze

I'm leaning on the Tower of Pisa

Had an eyeful of the tower in France

I'm hanging round the gardens of Madison

And the seat of learning

And the flush of success

Relieves a constipated mind

I'm like a gourmet in a skid row diner

A fitting menu for a dilettante

Life is a minestrone

Served up with parmesan cheese

Death is a cold Lasagne

Suspended in deep freeze

Love is a fire of flaming brandy

Upon a crepe suzette

Let's get this romance cooking, honey

But let us not forget

Life is a minestrone

Served up with parmesan cheese

Death is a cold Lasagne

Suspended in deep freeze
