Quiet Talks and Summer Walks
They pass me by in quiet talk
Hand in hand on a summer walk
They don't think they're overheard
But I hear their every word
She wants to know if he will love her
'til the day he dies
But how can he see the future when
he's looking in her eyes?
I was born in the spring of this year
Warmed by the sun and the wind that
brought me here
There's no expression on my face
And no footsteps leave my trace
They pass me by in quiet talk
Hand in hand on a summer walk

Raggy Dolls Rap
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Seven Raggy Dolls dancing to the beat
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Princess likes to do her thing
While Dotty does the Highland Fling
Sad Sack likes to dance real slow
But Hi-Fi likes to go, man, go!
Lucy likes to hang real loose
But BacktoFront is just no use
But as for Claude
He does the Tango
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven
Seven Raggy Dolls dancing to the beat
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
Okay, let's go meet the Raggy Dolls...
Here's Sad Sack. How you doin', man?
"I don't know, I just do the best I can
One, two, three, um, four"
Seems like Hi-Fi's in the groove
Hey, Hi-Fi, you can really move!
"It's n-n-nothing, it's just my n-n-natural sense of r-r-rhythm"
Hey Lucy! Is this your leg?
"Oh, yes, so it is, I wondered why I was hopping"
Boy, oh, boy, Lucy, when you stay loose, you stay loose!
Uh, oh, looks like Dotty's teaching BacktoFront a few steps...
"Now, come on, BacktoFront, I've shown you what to do, now try
it!"
"Okay, okay, no problem, here we go...
Quick, quick, slow, slow quick..."
"No, no, no, you're doing it all wrong, stop, honestly! Now, try
again."
"Okay, no problem..."
Well, now, what have we here? Claude has stopped doing the Tango, and
is
walking over towards Princess.
"'ello, Princess. You know, you look so charming, the way you
dance."
"Oh, I say, do you think so? You know, I really don't come here
h'all that
h'often."
"Come, Princess! Let me teach you... the Tango!"
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven

Princess likes to do her thing
While Dotty does the Highland Fling
Sad Sack likes to dance real slow

And as for Claude
He does the Tango

Randy Raquel
No one can see me or hear me
I'm all alone in my room
No one can touch me or hurt me
As I prepare my balloon
Naked and bare, realistic hair
Taking great care I breathe in the air;
Randy Raquel, I think you're swell,
My sweet inflatable you
You never say no; or come and go
You're always faithful and true
Fantastic dream...
Elastic and cream...
Plastic and steam,...
..spastic supreme
Randy Raquel

Ready-Mades (Innes/Stanshall)
Wendy Wetlip stares from a poster
Ignoring the drawing adorning her smile
Her lover has shuffled away
Looking the other way
Ronnie the Raincoat hangs out in a book store
He's never seen his own wife in the nude
Somebody called him depraved
But think of the money he saved
Dwarf on a moped speeds through the park
To Killroy's Renaissance the Temple of Art
Signs with a flourish and makes it his own
Pockets his pencil and slyly rides home
Annual cultural African dancers
Bereft Isabella in rubber thigh boots
A man was arrested today
For something he put on display

Re-Cycled Vinyl Blues
Excuse me, I'd like to make a hit record.
Certainly, sir. Did you bring any old records with you?
Well, no, why?
Well you see we can't possibly make any new records
unless we've got some old ones to melt down.
Good heavens, bad as that is it?
'fraid so, sir.
Take good care of my BAY-beeee..!.
What was that?
Oh, take no notice. That was just a bit of an old record
that was used to make this one.
Good grief!
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got Tchaikovsky and the blue suede shoes
Jumpin' in the same spiral groove
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...
One day as I was walking along
I had a great idea; I thought I'd write a hit song!
Make a little money from a happy tune
Carolina Moon...
And there it goes again, it makes me want to cry
The recycled vinyl just won't die!
She wears red feathers and a huly-huly skirt!
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got Tchaikovsky and the blue suede shoes
Jumpin in the same old groove
I got the recycled vinyl blues
(I'm only halfway to paradise!)
Some people dig the good life
Some dig the latest sound
Some people just dig up the world
there's money underground
They dig out all the copper, uranium and zinc
But I could really dig it if they only stop to think
Now everybody knows you have to put back what you take
Who'd ride a roller coaster if they knew it had no brake?
It took a million years for us to crawl out from the sea
Five'll get you ten they can recycle you or me
Who wants to be a millionaire?
I DON'T!!
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got Tchaikovsky and the blue suede shoes
Jumpin' in the same spiral groove
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got the recycled vinyl blues
I got Tchaikovsky and the blue suede shoes
Bompin' in the same spiral groove
I got the recycled vinyl blue-HOOOOS!

Rendezvous
I'm sitting in a dandelion den
Blowing bits of fluff into the air
to tell the time...
I welcome anybody passing by
(Do you ever come here with a friend?)
No, I've never found someone to share my rendezvous...
(Do you spend the time like me
Wishing that you could be free
Free from all you have to do
Doing only what you want to?)
Oh yes, of course I do..
(Ah ha, we thought as much)
Hang on... who are youse?
(We're the other members of the band)
And who invited you to sing along?
Go on, answer that!
(Well no one, we were only passing by)
Well kindly keep on going if you please
(But we're only trying to help you with your song)
But I don't want any help
(Oh yeah, what about the middle eight?)
Oh yeah!
(Do you spend the time like me
Wishing that you could be free
Free from all you have to do)
Doing what you want to...
Aaah aah aah aaaah!

Rock Of Ages
ooooo ooooo
Rock of ages roll me over at this point in time
All the troubles in the world are
runnin' through my mind
Ball of fire, wind and water bring me back to earth
Birds and bees and dog-eat-dog and "get your money's worth"
I'm still waiting
I'm still hoping
I'm still praying
For your love
Come on
Come on
Come on come on
Come on
Come on
Come on come on
Little spaceship ever spinning
at this point in time
With your cargo everlasting
at this point in time
I'm still waiting
I'm still hoping
I'm still praying
For your love
Come on
Come on
Come on come on
Come on
Come on
Come on come on
Come on
Come on
Come on come on
Come on
Come on
Come on come on
Truly darling I can feel it at this point in time
Only your love can reveal it at this point in time
Rock of ages roll me over at this point in time
All the troubles in the world are
runnin' through my mind
Little spaceship ever spinning at this point in time
With your cargo everlasting at this point in time
Rock of ages roll me over
At this point in time...
