Well, I'm caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue
Well, I'm caught one more time
Up on Cyprus Avenue

Conquered in a car seat
And I'm lookin' straight at you
And all the little girls rhyme something
On their way back home from school
All the little girls rhyme something
On their way back home from school-a

And the leaves fall one by one, by one
By one, by one, by one, by one
Call the autumn time a fool
Yeah, my tongue gets t-t, t-t
Every t-time, I just
Ev'ry, t-
Yeah, my insides shake
Just like a leaf on a tree

Railroad
Yeah, I'm goin' walkin' by the railroad
With my cherry, with my cherry wine
Believe I'll go walkin' by the railroad, huh!
With my cherry, with my cherry wine
Way far past the rumblin' station
Where the lonesome
Lonesome engines drivers pine

Wait a minute
Wait a minute
Catch her!

Yonder come my lady
She got rainbow ribbons in her hair
Yonder come my lady
Rain-a-bow, rain-a-bow
Rain-a-bow, rain-a-bow
Ribbons in her hair
Six white horses and a carriage, in a process

And I'm caught one more time
Way up on the avenue
And I'm caught
Way up on the avenue
And we're extrememly wasted
We're tryin' to get back to you
And nobody, nobody

Stoppin' me, baby

An you say France
You say France
An you say France
An you say France
An' me whistlin'

And you were standin' there
And you were standin' there
And you were standin'
There

And you were standin'

And all your revelation
And all your revelation
And all your revelation

And all your
And all your
And all your
Revelation
And all your

And all your revelation

Wait for me to come
Wait for me to come
Wait for me to come
Wait for me to come
Wait for me to come
Wait for me to come, an I say

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait

I say, baby!
Baby!

I said, mama!

(Audience: Go Van go
Get down, get down,Van)!

All right!

(Audience: Turn it on, get down, ooo)!

It's turned on already (audience applauds)

I said

Over there?
(Audience: no, no, no, over here)

It's too late too stop now!
