On And On And On

 

I was at a party and this fella said to me

"Something bad is happening, I'm sure you do agree

People care for nothing, no respect for human rights

Evil times are coming, we are in for darker nights"

I said, "Who are you to talk about impending doom?"

He got kinda wary as he looked around the room

He said, "I'm a minister, a big shot in the state"

I said, "I just can't believe it, boy I think it's great

Brother can you tell me what is right and what is wrong?"

He said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

 

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

 

Over in the corner I could see this other guy

He was kinda flirty, he was giving me the eye

So I took advantage of the fact that I'm a star

Shook my hair and took a casual stroll up to the bar

And as sure as hell this guy was coming up to me

He said, "Who am I and who are you and who are we?

What's our situation, do we have some time for us?"

I said I was not exactly waiting for the bus

He said, "If you're going somewhere can I come along?"

I said, "Keep on rocking baby, 'til the night is gone"

 

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

 

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

Keep on rocking baby

'Til the night is gone

On and on and on

 

Our Last Summer

 

The summer air was soft and warm
the feeling right, the Paris night
did its best to please us
and strolling down the Elysee
we had a drink in each café
and you
you talked of politics, philosophy and I
smiled like Mona Lisa
we had our chance
it was a fine and true romance

I can still recall
our last summer
I still see it all
walks along the Seine
laughing in the rain
our last summer
memories that remain

We made our way along the river
and we sat down in the grass
by the Eiffel tower
I was so happy we had met
it was the age of no regret
oh yes
those crazy years, that was the time
of the flower power
but underneath we had a fear of flying
of getting old
a fear of slowly dying
we took the chance
like we were dancing our last dance

I can still recall
our last summer
I still see it all
in the tourist jam
’round the Notre Dame
our last summer
walking hand in hand
Paris restaurants
our last summer
morning croissants
living for the day
worries far away
our last summer
we could laugh and play

And now you’re working in a bank
the family man, a football fan
and your name is Harry
how dull it seems
yet you’re the hero of my dreams

I can still recall
our last summer
I still see it all
walks along the Seine
laughing in the rain
our last summer
memories that remain
I can still recall
our last summer
I still see it all
in the tourist jam
’round the Notre Dame
our last summer
walking hand in hand
