Shoppin

Im shoppin gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin Im walking up to the counter and say
I want this sweater I sure feel better
Shoppin gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin you dont need money down
Charge it, wrap it send it
Shoppin
Ever since my mother took me to a big department store
My heartbeat escalated all the way to the second floor
I couldnt hide my passion for the latest fashion craves
My momma told me thats just another phase Im going through
Whatcha got, thats new
Shoppin gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin I got bad news today
Instead of eating cause my mans cheating
Shoppin Im gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin why everyone else around is smokin token coken
Well Ill be shoppin
(spoken in the background)
Excuse me miss,
See that-the dress over there
How many colors does it come in
Yes, all right, no, Id like it every one
No, Im not going to try it
I know itll fit
Ooh, you know what
Lets go up..ohh, theyre having a sale
My god, I love sales
No, I dont have any last name
Its just cher, just plain cher
Ooo, I like the shoes
Do you think you could..this thing,
Its all pink and wrinkly.. its..
What a darling little bag
Shoppin Im gonna buy it
Shoppin I never try it on for size
Shoppin will I like it
Shoppin does the color match my eyes
Folks say Im daring for what Im wearing
Im always scaring the peoples staring
So Im declaring Im tired of swearing
Im just shoppin
Shoppin Im gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin I got bad news today
Shoppin Im gonna take my troubles to town
Shoppin dont need money down
Shoppin gonna buy my blues away
Shoppin walking up to the counter and say
I want that sweater I sure feel better
Shoppin charge it, wrap it send it

Downtown

Downtown people gotta work a little harder working downtown
Downtown they got to think a little quicker cause theyre downtown
Downtown the breaks are harder
Downtown the thieves are smarter
Ive got this place Im renting
It cost me next to nothing downtown
Nobody comes around telling me I gotta turn the sound down
Broadway -- down on the corner
The Bible screamer, the plasma donor
Buses, carhorns, ghetto blasters
The shouts and cries of the human disasters
Its all music
Its all music
Downtown
Its all music
Its all music
I feel alright when Im downtown
My feet are light when Im downtown
I cast my hopes on the human tide
I place my bet and let it ride
Im open wide when Im downtown
Downtown theres every kind of people walkin round downtown
Downtown theres every language, every human sound downtown
Downtown the nights are longer
Downtown the sights are stronger
Downtown wandering all around downtown
Its all music
Eight blocks south of city hall
The rats run free and the winos crawl
Darkness falls on the vast machine
Where the future stalks the american dream
I feel alright when Im downtown
My head feels light when Im downtown
Its all in sight when Im downtown
I feel alright when Im downtown

Downtown

When youre alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalks where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose?
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
And go downtown
Thingsll be great when youre downtown
No finer place for sure, downtown
Everythings waiting for you
Dont hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows, downtown
Or maybe you know some little places to go to
Where they never close, downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of the music that theyre playin
Making conversation while youre on the dance floor swayin
Happy again
The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
And go downtown
Where all the lights are bright, downtown
Waiting for you tonight, downtown
Youre gonna be alright now
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to guide them along
So maybe Ill see you there
You can forget all your troubles
Just forget all your cares
And go downtown
Thingsll be great when youre downtown
Dont wait a minute more, downtown
Everythings waiting for you
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, youre going to be alright now
Get on, get on, get on downtown
Fade:
Downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, youre going to be alright now
Get on, get on, get on downtown

Downtown

Theres a place called downtown
Where the hippies all go
And they dance the charleston
And they do the limbo
Yeah, the hippies all go there
cause they want to be seen
Its like a room full of pictures
Its like a psychedelic dream
Downtown, lets go downtown...
Downtown tonight
Downtown, lets have a party...
Downtown at night
Yeah its right around the corner
Up and down the hill
When you hear the band playin
Its gonna give you a chill
Give your money to the gateman
Young blood in his eye
Hold on to your baby
When you slip into the sky
Downtown, lets go downtown...
Downtown tonight
Downtown, hear the band playin
Downtown all right
Jimis playin in the back room
Led zeppelin on stage
Theres a mirrol ball twirlin
And a note from page
Like a water-washed diamond
In a river of sin
Goin down like a whirlpool
When you get sucked in
Downtown, lets go downtown...
Downtown tonight
Downtown, hear the band playin
Downtown all right
Downtown, lets go downtown...
Downtown tonight
Downtown, lets have a party...
Downtown all right

Shoppin Around

(words & music by sid tepper - roy bennett - aaron schroeder)
You got the hugginest arms
The thrillinest eyes
Youre just my style
And youre just the right size
Gonna stop
Uh, shoppin around
Im gonna stop
Shoppin around cause I found the girlie Im lookin for
Oh, the very first time
You touched my lips
Took my little red book
And tore it to bits
Aint gonna be
Searchin no more
Im gonna stop
Shoppin around cause I found the girlie Im lookin for
Aint no other dolly Im wantin to hold
Hey, hey, baby
I really am sold on you
Ooh, ooh, such a pretty little package
I never did see
Gonna wrap you up and take you home with me
Im thrilled like never before
Im gonna stop
Shoppin around cause I found the girlie Im lookin for
Aint no other dolly Im wantin to hold
Hey, hey, baby
I really am sold on you
Ooh, ooh, such a pretty little package
I never did see
Gonna wrap you up and take you home with me
Im thrilled like never before
Im gonna stop
Shoppin around cause I found the girlie Im lookin for
Im gonna stop
Uh shoppin around
Im gonna stop
Uh shoppin around
Im gonna stop
Shoppin around

Babys Gone Shopping

Babys gone shopping
By: jimmy buffett
1988
There are ten pictures of marilyn monroe in my studio and I always fantasize while Im singing about being a chauffeur in the car as marilyn hits the stores on madison avenue and then she asks m
Go to mexico with her.
Babys gone shoppin shes looking around
Shes checkin out the clothes on the boys in town
Pick up this drop off that
Stares at her pictures from the fotomat
Oh she likes what she sees
But shes afraid of what she needs
She should be here with me
She should be here with me
But I dont make it easy, Im no day at the beach
Just an old road dog gettin harder to teach
Hang on this planet, hang on each twirl
Scatter my belongins all over this world
I get more wrapped up each day
Shes lookin further away
She should be here with me
She should be here with me
(horn solo)
Im no good at conversation (no good)
I dont want a proclamation (oh, no, no)
I just think that we could use
A little face-to-face communication
Ow!
Ive been thinkin, thinkin this through
Its time to stop all this selfishness both me and you
Ill stop from here, you stop from there
Well meet somewhere in the middle darlin I dont care
I dont want no more heartaches its time to put on the brakes
She should be here with me
I dont want no more heartaches its time to slam on em brakes
She should be here with me
Babys gone shoppin, she should be here with me
No more bar hoppin, she should be here with me
Now, I dont know but Ive been told
That city livin is awfully cold
She should be right here, here with me (he should be...)
Brrrrrr... (...here with me)
Babys gone shoppin, she should be here with me (he should be...)
(...here with me)
No more bar, no more bar, no more bar hoppin
Should be here with me (he should be here with me)
She should be here with me
She should be here with me (he should be...)
(...here with me)
No more bar, no more bar, no more bar hoppin
Should be here with me (he should be here with me)

Down Town

(words and music by duran duran)
Deliver use from evil, we go with the flow.
Heres a little secret, I think you ought to know.
Providers and abusers, they know where to go.
With sundays refugees, from sunday tv shows.
(downtown!) all of the way down
(downtown!) all of the way downtown
(downtown!) all of the way down
(downtown!) all of the way downtown..
Lets sink imagination, past your wildest while (all of the way downtown)
Go way delow, below, below, is it such a crime?
Ahhhh the uptown, cant teach you how to live,
They dont have the time
cos where Im gonna take you, is a state of mind.
Ahhoouu
(chorus)
You better learn to use your heart
You gotta loose your money
You better use it all up
cos you cant take it with you when youre going down..
You never come home babe
You never come home baby
And youll never be alone, all of the way downtown
All of the way downtown
You never come home babe
You never come home baby
And youll never be alone, all of the way downtown (down, down)
All of the way downtown
You never come home babe
You never come home baby
And youll never be alone, all of the way downtown
All of the way downtown
You never come home babe
You never come home baby
And youll never be alone, all of the way downtown...

Got More Rhymes

[ VERSE 1 ]
Now from planet to planet, and from star to star
It doesn't really matter, baby, just who you are
And from Earth to solar system, and to galaxy
It's real hard to get a ticket to hear Young MC
Because I rock like a professional, this ain't no lark
You either hear me at a party, or you see me in the park
I rocked the many places far away from my home
I guess that must be the reason why I'm so well known
I rocked from Iowa to Idaho, Canada to Mexico
I came into the place, you party people, just to let you know
My name is the Young MC, ladies want to come to me
And when they're in my arms, the ladies never ever front on me
Thinkin that you know the deal, boy, why don't you be for real
I love to rock the mic, and sometimes even rock the wheels of steel
Rock the place without a doubt, now I'm gonna turn it out
So listen very close, so I can tell you that it's all about
RHYMES
More RHYMES
Party people, I'm the Young MC, and I got RHYMES
Let me tell you something
Young MC got more RHYMES
[ VERSE 2 ]
Now with a voice like this I rock so well
But I'm not Prince, Lionel Richie, or Patti Labelle
I'm not the Cars, the Pretenders, or the B-52's
My name is Young MC, and I'm the one you should choose
Cause when the music comes in, the beat starts thumpin
And I'm the only man to keep the girlies high jumpin
I'm the doctor on the mic, and yes, I'm so sure
That all you need is one visit, then you'll be cured
Cause in the game of rap I am the referee
When the others need help, they'll come to me
Like Judge Joe Wapner on the _People's Court_
My name is Young MC, rockin on the mic is my sport
And now you know, just from those 12 lines
That a fella like me never falls behind
Cause I'm the cream of the crop, and the leader of the pack
Once you give me the mic, you know there's no turnin back
Because I got more rhymes then the other guys do
They're just a monkey, I'm the whole damn zoo
I can't use a book, I use a hefty bag
Because they're just a string, I'm the American flag
I got more rhymes than water seen by a sailor
More than husbands of Elizabeth Taylor
More than Babe Ruth has hit home runs
Yo, my name is Young MC, so go out there and have some fun
With RHYMES
More RHYMES
I gotta tell you something

Come On Baby Lets Go Downtown

Come on, baby, lets go downtown,
Lets go, lets go, lets go downtown.
Come on, baby, lets go downtown,
Lets go, lets go, lets go downtown.
Walk on, talk on, baby tell no lies.
Dont you be caught with a tear in your eye.
Sure enough, theyll be sellin stuff
When the moon begins to rise.
Pretty bad when youre dealin with the man,
And the light shines in your eyes.
Come on, baby, lets go downtown,
Lets go, lets go, lets go downtown.
Come on, baby, lets go downtown,
Lets go, lets go, lets go downtown.
Snake eyes, french fries and I got lots of gas.
Full moon and a jumpin tune, now you dont have to ask.
Sure enough, theyll be sellin stuff
When the moon begins to rise.
Pretty bad when youre dealin with the man,
And the light shines in your eyes.
Come on, baby, lets go downtown,
Lets go, lets go, lets go downtown.
Come on, baby, lets go downtown,
Lets go, lets go, lets go downtown.
Walk on, talk on, baby tell no lies.
Dont you be caught with a tear in your eye.
Sure enough, theyll be sellin stuff
When the moon begins to rise.
Pretty bad when youre dealin with the man,
And the light shines in your eyes.
Pretty bad when youre dealin with the man,
And the light shines in your eyes.

Downtown

With A turn-around
If you wanna dance on the ceiling
If you wanna shake your money-maker now
If you wanna leave through the back door
Feeling fine but just cant take it anymore
If you wanna leave Im downtown
If you dont like sleaze Im downtown
Tell me what you need Im downtown
And everything will be ok hey hey!!!
If you wanna breathe in the background
If you wanna wait and see whats goin down
If you wanna soak in the sunshine
Call a cab and come and see me anytime
If you wanna leave Im downtown
If you dont like sleaze Im downtown
Tell me what you need Im downtown
And everything will be ok hey hey!!!
If you wanna go crazy
If youre dying to please
If youre low down and dirrrrty
Then come and get some of me
If you wanna leave Im downtown
If you dont like sleaze Im downtown
Tell me what you need Im downtown
And everything will be ok
If you wanna leave Im downtown
If you dont like sleaze Im downtown
Tell me what you need Im downtown
And everything will be ok hey hey!!!

Downtown Life

Music by daryl hall, john oates, rick iontosca
Lyrics by daryl hall, john oates, sara allen
Do it downtown in from the outside
Yeah, find the scene & work it brother
Moving thru sound
Citys like wild life
Overgrown & living undercover
Wound up so tight
We love the downtown life
Driftin thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life. it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Velvet lou was a neighbor of mine
Now he walks the dog in jersey, brother
Yuppies in black doin white collar crime
Scared away the. local color
But they cant steal the nite
We love the downtown life
Driftin thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Downtown life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the lite to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
My baby knows shes got to go for this kind of life
'cause city love cant stand. to see the sunlite
Dawn patrol better leave me alone
'cause I can only take it for so long
Going down isnt hard to do
The king of clubs and.queen of hearts fall too
She says, if you believe this is only a lonely time,
Stay at home boys the blues are lost on you
Aint it true
We love the downtown life
Drifting thru the day
Waiting for the nite, oh
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on
Downtown life
Drifting thru the nite
Waiting for the night to come
Downtown life it feels so right
It keeps me hangin on

Downtown Train

(tom waits)
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the night time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
Im shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
Full of all them brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing thatll ever capture your heart
Theyre just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh baby cant you hear me now, cant you hear me now
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
On a downtown train
I know your window and I know its late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light of the four way
And watch them as they fall, oh baby
They all having their heart attacks
They stay at the carnival
But theyll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
You leave me lonely
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
Every night, every night its just the same
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All my dreams, all my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train
On a downtown train
All my dreams fall like rain
On a downtown train

German Afternoons

Sailin around, sailin around, sailin around,
Ive been out sailin around again
Ive been sailin around
But I cant get back to you.
Hangin around, hangin around, hangin around
Ive been out hangin around again
Ive been hangin around
But I cant get back to you.
Chorus:
So tell where you been so long (sailin around)
What have I done so wrong? (sailin around)
Well, Im so glad I finally found you
I cant wait to put my arms around you
Sailin around, but I cant get back to you
Shoppin around, shoppin around, shoppin around,
Ive been shoppin around again
Ive been shoppin around
But I cant get back to you.
Repeat chorus:
Sailin around, sailin around, sailin around,
Ive been sailin around again
Ive been sailin around but I cant get back to you.
Ive been sailin around but I cant get back to you.
Ive been sailin around but I cant get back to you.

Goin Downtown

I could cool out
I couls hang loose
I could lay my head back in this comfortable noose
I could watch the paint dry
On these rented walls
Or I could run wild with the first wild thing that calls
Goin downtown . . . goin downtown
Goin downtown . . . to stand round and stare
And put people down for not being there
Goin downtown . . . and Ill see you there
But I saw you laugh
At that girl having fun
To show some emotion . . . just isnt done
You can look but dont touch
Thats as far as it goes
Youre only as good as the cut of your clothes
Goin downtown . . . goin downtown
Goin downtown . . . to stand round and stare
And put people down for not being there
Goin downtown . . . and Ill see you there

Cynical Baby Downtown

'Soothing voices are announcing,
cynical baby downtown,
another suppression of hope,
a day of compulsory dancing,
cynical baby downtown,
and subliminal sex, guns and dope.

The mistress of rude assumptions,
cynical baby downtown,
is trying to give us a clue,
displaying the bodily functions,
cynical baby downtown,
of what I might mean to you.

Old men are showing photographs,
cynical baby downtown,
of some of the targets we hit;
I guess the animal that laughs,
cynical baby downtown,
has had a testosterone fit.

And the party went ballistic,
cynical baby downtown,
but no one was to blame;
it was your explosive lipstick,
cynical baby downtown,
that had just spoken my name.'

Outrageous

Outrageous
When I move my body
Outrageous
When I'm at a party
Outrageous
With my sexy jeans
Outrageous
When I'm on the scene
Outrageous
My sex drive
Outrageous
My shoppin' spree
Outrageous
We on a world tour
Outrageous
Let's be it, girl
Sexy as I wanna be
Got these fellas chasin me
It's bout time I hit the streets
All my girls still feelin me
B girl ain't lost the beat
Jumped over drama and I landed on my feet
Gotta keep goin'
No stoppin' me
And if you don't like it, then
La la la la la la la
Media over here
Comin through like a world premire
Trench coat in my underwear
Lets go with this freak show
It's......
CHORUS
Outrageous
When I move my body
Outrageous
When I'm at a party
Outrageous
With my sexy jeans
Outrageous
When I'm on the scene
Outrageous
My sex drive
Outrageous
My shoppin' spree
Outrageous
We on a world tour
Outrageous
Let's be it, girl
Outrageous
I'm about to bring the heat

Dancing On Glass

Cant find my doctor
My bones cant take this ache
If ya dance with the devil
Your day will come to pay
Downtown
Fuel-injected dreams
Are bursting at the seams
Am I in persia
Or am I just insane?
Downtown, downtown
One foot in the grave
Such a foolish child
For a date with death
Sign the dotted line
Ive been thru hell
And Im never goin back
To dancing on glass
Going way too fast
Gonna burn and crash
Valentines in london
Found me in the trash
Downtown
Need one more rush
Then I know, I know Ill stop
One extra push
Last trip to the top
Downtown, downtown
Silver spoon and needle
Witchy tombstone smile
Im no puppet
I engrave my veins with style
Ive been thru hell
And Im never goin back
To dancing on glass
Dancin dancin
Sweet chiva, you were my jesus
