Lyrics:
The Cremation of Sam McGee
The Cremation of Sam McGee
(Robert W. Service)
There are strange things done 'neath the midnight sun
by the men who moil for gold.
The arctic trails have their secret tales
that would make your blood run cold.
Somewhere a clock strikes midnight
And there's a full moon in the sky
You hear a dog bark in the distance
You hear someone's baby cry
A rat runs down the alley
And a chill runs down your spine
And someone walks across your grave
And you wish the sun would shine
'Cause no one's gonna warn you
And no one's gonna yell attack
And you don't feel the steel
Till it's hangin' out your back
I'm your night prowler, asleep in the day
Night prowler, get outta my way
Yeah I'm the prowler, watch out tonight
Yes I'm the night prowler, when you turn out the light
Too scared to turn your light out
'Cause there's somethin' on your mind
Was that a noise outside the window
What's that shadow on the blind
As you lie there naked
Like a body in a tomb
Suspended animation as I slip into your room
I'm your night prowler, asleep in the day
Yeah I'm the night prowler, get outta my way
Look out for the night prowler, watch out tonight
Yes I'm the night prowler, when you turn out the light
I'm your night prowler, asleep in the day
Yes I'm the night prowler, get outta my way
Look out for the night prowler, watch out tonight
Yes I'm the night prowler, when you turn out the light
I'm your night prowler, break down your door
I'm your night prowler, crawling across your floor
I'm the night prowler, make a mess of you, yes I will
Night prowler
And I'm telling this to you
There ain't nothing
There ain't nothing
Nothing you can do
Shazbot
Nanu nanu
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
I hurried home and then,
I lifted the preach'r and called up the phone.
I spoke to the dog and I threw your Ma a bone.
'Twas mid-night and yet, the sun was shining bright.
and all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight.
Some people call me the space cowboy
Some people call me the gangster of love, yeah
Some people walking round calling me Maurice
'Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People talk about me, baby (People talk about me, bad to)
They say I'm doin' you wrong, (doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong)
Well, don't let that worry you baby (oh baby)
'Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home
(Everybody Singing Along)
'Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play the music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I give my lovin' on the run
You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
I want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, dovey-lovey, dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'm gonna show you a good time babe
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play the music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
Come on and follow me
You know I really want you for your company
Even though I'm attached to you physically
My computer mechanism wants you mentally
(Shoo be doo be doo shoo be)
You know I really want you for your company
(Shoo be doo be doo doo be)
My computer mechanism wants you mentally
People keep talking bout me like a low down dog (like a low life dog)
They say I'm doin ya wrong, doin ya wrong (doin' ya wrong)
Well don't you know, don't you worry bout a thing pretty mama
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here singing along
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play the music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
An I'm a fa shizzile dizzile ma nizzle fizzle bizzle
I give my lovin' on the run
'Cause they only see me on the poster, for real
Don't test my dogs, they got holsters, for real
Fuck a pop tart, we carry toasters, for real
Aim, cock back shoot at lames
Name, unknown we are not the same
Shame, on a brrr, tryna run game
We was able to sell it, now my city serve cane
Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none
Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck
Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none
Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck
Living on a limb, but I'm blowing hemp
You see the limo tinted, never know its him (Woo)
Cocaine wraps in the Cadillac (Cocaine)
I got lil homie with me, city on our backs (Denzel)
Always been a loner cause I'm so rebellious
Pulling on a bong make me feel angelic
Penning a memoir, pray I live to tell it
Never will I tell it, that's considered callous
Vroom vroom vroom bitch we on a move (Vroom)
Snort a line of this and I bet you clean your room (Haha)
Mansions in Atlanta, trophy on a mantel
Long live my nigga Nipsey, light another candle
Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none
Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck
Don't start none, won't be none
Don't speak, don't hear, and don't see none
Only fear one, but now I fear none
And if you ain't got will I don't give a fuck
Butterfly doors keep the birds chirpin (Woah)
Big tall bat like I'm in a circus (Yeah)
Pray I keep it all, like the sun is service (Woo!)
When the hangover strikes
And I open my post
And the coffee is on
And I'm burning my toast
I let the battle commence
I see a sun in the trees
And a draught at the door
With my head in my lap
There's a day to explore
But I'm left without sense
As the hangover strikes
And I turn on the tap
But the water's too loud
And I'm caged by the fact
That the battle's not lost
Is it the hair of the dog
Or the Baa of a Lamb
In a sheepish attempt
To be half of the man
That I might be or was
When the hangover strikes
And a mirror reveals
That it's Midnight or bust
And a drink does appeal
Now the battle is won
So the cure of the can
Pours its heart out on me
Though I'm feeling locked up
But I can't find the key
Well no damage was done
Poor poor poor, poor shaken one
Pour pour pour, pour me another one
No, some cat's told me he makes it himself
(Yip yip yip yip)
Tell us the secret of The Lip
Well, you take a bucketful of steam
And a dozen rooster eggs
And you mix 'em up gently with a bushel full of goldfish legs
And ya hang 'em on a sky hook in the midnight sun
Mmm and then you fry them until they're done
(Yip yip yip yip)
That's the secret of The Lip
No, some cat's told me he makes it himself
(Yip yip yip yip)
Tell us the secret of The Lip
Well, you take a bucketful of steam
And a dozen rooster eggs
And you mix 'em up gently with a bushel full of goldfish legs
And ya hang 'em on a sky hook in the midnight sun
Mmm and then you fry them until they're done
(Yip yip yip yip)
That's the secret of The Lip
My lover comes to me with a rose on her bosom
The moon's dancin' purple
All through her black hair
And a ladies-in-waiting she stands 'neath my window
And the sun will rise soon
On the false and the fair
She tells me she comes from my mother the mountain
Her skin fits her tightly
And her lips do not lie
She silently slips from her throat a medallion
Slowly she twirls it
In front of my eyes
I watch her, I love her, I long for to touch her
The satin she's wearin'
Is shimmering blue
Outside my window her ladies are sleeping
My dogs have gone hunting
The howling is through
So I reach for her hand and her eyes turns to poison
And her hair turns to splinters,
And her flesh turns to brine
She leaps cross the room, she stands in the window
And screams that my first-born
Will surely be blind
She throws herself out to the black of the nightfall
She's parted her lips
But she makes not a sound
I fly down the stairway, and I run to the garden
No trace of my true love
Is there to be found
So walk these hills lightly, and watch who you're lovin'
By mother the mountain
I swear that it's true
Love not a woman with hair black as midnight
And her dress made of satin
All shimmering blue
There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who mohel for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
Oh..Oh.. who you think you portraying now?
Chorus:
Mississippi moon dog sneaking out of Memphis
The rivers in view
Mississippi moon dog reaching through the darkness
Sun never shines through
Mississippi moon dog listen to em howling
Muddy waters singing out the blues
Mississippi moon dog chicken come a scratching at ya
The swamps pointing at you
Chorus:
Mississippi moon dog shakin all around now
Jackson's in view
Mississippi moon dog seven comes eleven now
Snake eyes won't do
Mississippi moon dog, Mississippi mon dog
Mississippi moon dog, Mississippi mon dog
I hurried home and then,
I lifted the preach'r and called up the phone.
I spoke to the dog and I threw your Ma a bone.
'Twas mid-night and yet, the sun was shining bright.
and all because you kissed me (Kiss) goodnight.
I hurried home and then,
I lifted the preach'r and called up the phone.

'Twas mid-night and yet, the sun was shining bright.

Hey what you'd say your name was
Rubber back
You got a brain you ain't using
You got charm you're abusin'
Too busy out there floosin'
Or lying at home snoozin'
Why you want to waste away lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Why you want to waste away
Lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Time moves along
You don't have a life anymore
Time moves along
You don't have a job
I got four
Spend my money on cigarettes
Midnight dragon and off track bets
Get up at three
Turn on the TV
For all I know you got a dangerous disease
So I gotta move along
I gotta move along
Why you want to waste away lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Why you want to waste away lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Nature has it
You got no cajones
A dog in heat
A one trick pony
Lover of the life of leisure
I love to love you but I might leave you
I'm a lover of the life of leisure if you don't like it you can leave it
Time on your hands
Rubber on your back
Rubber in your hand
Too much time on your back
Why you want to waste away lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Why you want to waste away
Lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Tell me why a woman who loves a man
Who never gives her all he can he sleeps all day and scams all night
Thinkin' his service makes it alright
Ladies wanting the service
Me always give them the service
Ladies wanting the service
Me always give them the service
Why you want to waste away lover of the life of leisure
Why you want to waste away
Lover of the life of leisure
Why you want to waste away lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Lover of the life of leisure
Ladies wanting the service
Me always give them the service
Ladies wanting the service
Me always give them the service
Champ! So what we're gonna do next?
I'm up at midnight
I'm dippin' off in my Nizzikes
A gun and a metal pizzipe
A knizzife is to my rizzight
I'm lurkin' servin' on pussies
Who lack a purpose
I've got 'em filled up with frizzight
Like Mizzike is you all rizzight?
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
The sun is going down
And the dogs are starting to howl
We stay out after dark
Eating cotton candy
And the music's playing...
