Dear Folks Sorry I Haven't Written

Roger Miller Dear Folks Sorry I Haven't Written歌詞
1.Open Up Your Heart

Open up your heart
Jiggle it a little, it'll open
Tickle it a little, it'll fly
Right on up to the sky

Don't live your life
Sittin' somewhere in a corner
Don't be a little jack horner
With nothing in life but a pie

Don't be afraid
To dig a little giggling &n laughter
After all what are we after
Don't let it all pass you by

Open up your heart
Jiggle it a little, it'll open
Tickle it a little' it'll fly
Right on up to the sky

Open up your heart
Jiggle it a little, it'll open
Tickle it a little' it'll fly
Right on up to the sky

Open up your heart
Jiggle it a little, it'll open
Tickle it a little' it'll fly
Right on up to the sky

4.Qua La Linta

Old men and young boys make the finest of friends
The old one speaks wisdom and the young comprehends
The ladies come later and life takes a turn
And the boy starts forgetting everything that he's learned

Singing qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day
Qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day
Hey ho lo lo lo hey ho lo lo lo
Tra la lista lay
Qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day

Good wine and women get better with age
It's a story book life and i'm a-turning the page
The good times are waiting and i'm on my way
Singing qua la la la la la linta qua la linta la da day

Hey qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day
Qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day
Hey ho lo lo lo hey ho lo lo lo
Tra la lista lay
Qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day

Old man i miss you, i remember you well
You taught me that life was both heaven and hell
And life's what you make it, you can go either way
Singing qua la la la la la linta qua la linta la da day

Hey qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day
Qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day
Hey ho lo lo lo hey ho lo lo lo
Tra la lista lay
Qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day

Qua la la la la la linta
Qua la linta la da day


5.The Day I Jumped From Uncle Harvey's Plane

Me &n' oliver &n' virgil was in the drugstore killing time
When my eyes fell upon this magazine
And i got to reading this article on sky-diving and parachuting
And it said jumping out of air-planes was the thing

Now being raised down on a farm and always ready for adventure
I knew that i could figure out a way
I said ※well delmer gill's got a parachute and uncle harvey's
got an air-plane§
So i said ※call the boys together, today's the day§

Well i found out too late what uncle harvey called an air-plane
Was nothing but an engine and a wing
And i could feel my fear a-rising as delmer packed the parachute
&cos he kept telling me i was doing the right thing

Ron mcloughlin shook my hand as jd strapped me in the harness
And tildon brought a jug and passed it around
I took one look at that parachute and that whisky and that
air-plane
And i turned that bottle up and drank it down

Well i was drunker'n cooter jones when they poured me in the
plane
The engine coughed and headed for the clouds
But i was sober as a judge by the time they opened up the door
And i've never known my heart to beat so loud

I said, ※harvey, i can't do it§ as he kicked me out the door
And i wrapped my hands around the landing gear
And i was holding on real good &til harvey stepped down on my
fingers
And virgil said he heard me scream from way down there

Well i thanked god and delmer gill when my parachute finally
opened
I said ※well, hell there ain't no use in being afraid§
And i went crashing through the hen house, scattering chickens
and breaking eggs
And i kissed the ground and fainted dead away

Now friends i've done some fighting, and i've been shot at once
or twice
And i've durn near been run over by a train
But i don't think i remember being any more afraid
Than the day i jumped from uncle harvey's plane


6.The Animal Of Man

His footprints can be found
On the graves of dead young soldiers
On the amber covered plains
Killed by radio-active rains

And his traces can be found
In the dying streams and meadows
And he'll kill you if he can
He's the animal of man

Yes his traces can be found
In the scars of red-skin children
That have never fully healed
Ask a black man how he feels

He's a nervous gifted child
He's an old man been forgotten
He's a military band
He's the animal of man


7.What Would My Mama Say

You don't know what it's about, but you go out and try
You're young and your wings have just feathered
And you're dying to fly
Dreaming is easy, but living is hard i'm afraid
I come from south georgia
And i feel like i walked all the way

How much does it cost to valdosta
How much for just a part of the way
Lord i'm tired and i'm hungry
And i ain't got much money
What would my mama say

Sometimes the notion comes,
One wants to just run away
From all that he's bothered by
Little things, day after day
Sometimes the rain is cold
Sometimes the sun shines down
Life's just a ball game that can't be played all in one town

How much does it cost to valdosta
How much for just a part of the way
Lord i'm tired and i'm hungry
And i ain't got much money
What would my mama say

How much does it cost to valdosta
How much for just a part of the way
Lord i'm tired and i'm hungry
And i ain't got much money
What would my mama say
What would my mama say


8.The 4th Of July

Bells ring-a-lingin', firecrackers poppin'
Lighting up the sky
Hail to the flag, it's the 4th of july

It's a day to stand
Hat in hand
Watching parades
And singing along with each song the plays

Singing, bells ring-a-lingin', firecrackers poppin'
Lighting up the sky
Hail to the flag, it's the 4th of july

Bells ring-a-lingin', firecrackers poppin'
Lighting up the sky
Hail to the flag, it's the 4th of july

It's a day to stand
Hat in hand
Watching parades
And singing along with each song the plays

Singing, bells ring-a-lingin', firecrackers poppin'
Lighting up the sky
Hail to the flag, it's the 4th of july


9.Shannon's Song

She's my baby lady
She's my baby child
Runnin' round in sun-suits
Drivin' daddy wild

Lovely to look at
Beautiful to see
Looking like her mummy
Looking up at me

Can it be the sun
Makes me feel so warm
Can it be the sunshine
In my arms
She's the shining light
Makes my day so bright
And sweetens all the dreams
I dream at night

She's my baby lady
She's my baby child
Looking like a princess
Such a pretty smile

Can it be the sun
Makes me feel so warm
Can it be the sunshine
In my arms
She's the shining light
Makes my day so bright
And sweetens all the dreams
I dream at night

She's my baby lady
She's my baby child
Looking like a princess
Such a pretty smile


10.I Believe In The Sunshine

Look-ee look-ee i can see a ray of sunshine shining
I can feel a rainbow coming, deep inside my mind
I can feel my cares and troubles falling all around me
I'm glad the sunshine found me i know i've been hard to find

Hey, hey, hey i feel it
Hey, hey, hey i believe it
I believe in the sunshine
Even when it rains
Even when the times are hardest
Even when the nights are darkest
I believe in the sunshine
Even when it rains

Look-ee look-ee yonder, i believe i see a morning
Coming up for me, the night has been so dark and long
I can feel a feeling like a hand upon my shoulder
I feel a little older, but at last i'm coming home

Hey, hey, hey i feel it
Hey, hey, hey i believe it
I believe in the sunshine
Even when it rains
Even when the times are hardest
Even when the nights are darkest
I believe in the sunshine
Even when it rains
