That's The Bag I'm In

I burned my fingers on the coffee pot
Toast was cold and the orange juice was hot.
I should start over but you know I'd rather not.
Same thing gonna happen again
Cause that's the bag I'm in.
Last night as I was walking down the street,
Whistling the blues to the tapping of my feet,
Some jive crank called the cops on the beat.
It'll happen every single time.
Every morning when I get up,
I miss my connection and I'm late for work again
You know they'll probably drop the atom bomb the day my ship comes in.
I dasn't bet a nickle cause I'd get paid off in yen.
Sometimes you just can't win cause that's the bag I'm in.
Jukebox playing the same old melody,
Keep on bringing back those blue memories.
This evil feeling's gonna be the death of me
I think I'm going out of my mind.
Every morning when I wake up,
I burn my fingers on the pot,
Toast is cold and the orange juice is hot,
I should start over but you know I'd rather not
Same thing gonna happen again,
Cause that's the bag I'm in.

The Love's Still Growing

(Buzzy Linhart)
And I'm so high
I can't go on
Oh but I
Can sing this song
Because the love's still growing
And the love's still growing
Some folk say
That all hope is gone
But today, the world is one
Because the love's still growing
And the love's still growing
It's time to say
It's time to know
that it's O.K., that some must go.

God Bless The Child

Songwriters: Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.
Them that's got shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, and spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just don't worry 'bout nothin'
'Cause he's got his own

Songwriters: Buzzy Linhart / Mark Klingman
And I am all alone.
There is no one here beside me.
And my problems have all gone,
There is no one to deride me.
But you got to have friends the feeling's of so strong.
You got to have friends to make the day last long.
I got some friends but they're gone
Someone came and took them away
And from the dusk till the dawn here is where I'll stay.
Standing at the end of the world boys
Waiting for my new friends to come.
I don't care if I'm hungry or poor,
I'm gonna get some of them.
'Cause you got to have friends.
'Cause you got to have friends
