Can you believe me when I say There's nothin' I'd like better Than just to sit here and talk with you Although I'll rant and I'll rave About one thing and another The beauty of it is (hope you'll agree) Though I'm a poor boy I can still be happy As long as I can feel free So many people I know gettin' old way too early (Well, are you feelin' kind of weary) Just to impress you with the money they've made (You'd better, you'd better, you'd better change your theory) One drop of rain they complain And it's the same about the wage they're earnin' Well that is not the way I'm gonna be Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Well let us state our only point of view Why can't we all afford to live like you This simple life is simply not enough We have appearances we must keep up Poor boy If that's the way it's gotta be (Poor boy) It's you for you and me for me I try all I can understanding all the fools And all their money When half of what they got You know they never will use Enough to get by suits me fine I don't care if they think I'm funny I'm never gonna change my point of view Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me Always, na, na, na Don't mind the rain Don't mind snow Don't mind nothin' If I know You will be right here with me

How deep does it go? Do you not know? Sipping whiskey in the daylight We're down to get lost Roll around in the moss Skinny dipping in the daylight I love you I'm really wishing that you do, too I love you I'm really wishing that you do, too How deep does it go? Do we want to know? Tripping silly in the daylight I love you I'm really wishing that you do, too I love you I'm really wishing that you do, too I love you I'm really wishing that you do, too I love you I'm really wishing that you do, too

Tangletown, yeah yeah, Tangletown. Hey siter when you see, The city life on the colour TV. The temptation is known to us all, Hey little sister, don't you fall, For Tangletown. Hey brother, stay on the farm. Our daddy needs your strong right arm. There's no land of milk and honey. There ain't no jobs and there ain't no money, In Tangletown. Ain't no money in Tangletown. Lebanese food, lagos soul. Black American rock and roll. Swimmin' in the sun, the papaya, the lies. The money, the games, the fish and the flies. In the petrol fumes, The little girls ripe and bleed for a priest or a white man. You know a cane knife is the sweetest blade, In a cane-cutters hand, that got ever made. And out in the fields of negros occidental, A young man howls at the cane and the jungle. Oh my lover, stay with me. I am poor and I'll never be free. I'm afraid the Americans'll buy your, Beautiful body with the almighty dollar, If you leave me for Tangletown.
