You Ever Seen The Rain?
Someone
told me long ago There's a calm before the storm, I know; It's been coming
for some time. When it's over, so they say, It'll rain a sunny day, I know;
Shining down like water. CHORUS: I
want to know, Have you ever seen the rain? I want to know, Have you ever seen
the rain Coming down on a sunny day? Yesterday,
and days before, Sun is cold and rain is hard, I know; Been that way for all
my time. 'Til forever, on it goes Through the circle, fast and slow, I know;
It can't stop, I wonder. CHORUS Yeah! CHORUS
Heard
It Through The Grapevine
Oo,
Bet you're wond'ring how I knew About your plans to make me blue With some
other guy that you knew before? Between the two of us guys, you know I love
you more. It took me by surprise, I must say, When I found out yester-day.
Oo, CHORUS: I
heard it through the grapevine, Not much longer would you be mine. Oo, I
heard it through the grapevine, And I'm just about to lose my mind. Honey,
honey yeah. You
know that a man ain't supposed to cry, But these tears I can't hold inside. Losing
you would end my life you see, 'cause you mean that much to me. You could
have told me yourself That you found someone else. Instead, CHORUS People
say you "Hear from what you see, Na na not from what you hear." I
can't help bein' confused; If it's true, won't you tell me dear? Do you
plan to let me go For the other guy that you knew before? Oo, CHORUS CHORUS

a giant doing cartwheels, a statue wearin' high heels. Look at all the happy
creatures dancing on the lawn. A dinosaur Victrola list'ning to Buck Owens. CHORUS Tambourines
and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flyin'
spoon? Doo, doo doo. Wond'rous apparition provided by magician. CHORUS Tambourines
and elephants are playing in the band. Won't you take a ride on the flyin'
spoon? Doo, doo doo. Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows. CHORUS Forward

dancing on the lawn. Bother me tomorrow, today, I'll buy no sorrows. CHORUS
Run
Through The Jungle
Whoa,
thought it was a nightmare, Lo, it's all so true, They told me, "Don't
go walking slow 'Cause Devil's on the loose." Better
run through the jungle, Better run through the jungle, Better run through
the jungle, Woa, Don't look back to see. Thought
I heard a rumbling Calling to my name, Two hundred million guns are loaded Satan
cries, "Take aim!" Better
run through the jungle, Better run through the jungle, Better run through
the jungle, Woa, Don't look back to see. Over
on the mountain Thunder magic spoke, "Let the people know my wisdom, Fill
the land with smoke." Better
run through the jungle, Better run through the jungle, Better run through
the jungle, Woa, Don't look back to see Susie

Hitch Hiker
Was Ridin' along side the highway

Woa! she caught my eye, But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast; Do you
wanna, She was thinkin' can it last. CHORUS Was busted up along the highway,
I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive. Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way, won't
you give a poor boy a ride? Here she comes a ridin', Lord, She's flyin' high.
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast; Do you wanna, She was thinkin'
can I last. CHORUS CHORUS CHORUS
