Peace, I ask of thee, O river
Peace, peace, peace
When I learn to live serenely, cares will cease
Fro the hills I gather courage
Vision of the day to be
Strength to lead and faith to follow
All are given unto me
Peace I ask of thee O river
Peace, peace, peace

Little boxes on the hillsides, little boxes made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same
There's a green one and a pink one and a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all look just the same
And the people in the boxes, they go to the university
And they all get put in boxes, little boxes all the same
There's a doctor, and a lawyer, and a business executive
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all turn out the same
And the men play on the golf course and they drink their Martini Dry
And they all have pretty children, and the children go to school
And the children go to summer camp and then to the university
Where they all get put in boxes and they all end up the same
And the boys go into business, marry and raise a family
And they all live in boxes, little boxes just the same
There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky and they all turn out the same

Morphine Bill and Cocaine Sue
Were walking down 5th Avenue
Singing honey have a (sniff) have a (sniff) on me
Honey have a (sniff) on me
They came to a drugstore painted green
The sign outside said No Morphine
Singing honey have a (sniff)...
They came to a drugstore finished in oak
The sign outside said No More Coke
Singing honey have a (sniff)...
They came to a drugstore painted red
The sign outside said We're All Dead
Singing honey have a (sniff)...
They came to-a drugstore painted blue
The sign outside said We're Dead Too
Singing honey have a (sniff)...
So in the river, side by side
They both committed suicide
Singing honey have a (sniff)...
And in the graveyard on the hill
Lies the body of Morphine Bill
Singing honey have a (sniff)...
And in the graveyard on the side
Lies the body of his Cocaine bride
Singing honey have a (sniff) have a (sniff) on me
Honey have a (sniff) on me
Three jolly coachmen sat in an English tavern (x2)
And they decided (x3)
To have another flagon.
Come landlord fill the flowing bowl Until it doth run over (x2)
For tonight we'll merry merry be (x3)
Tomorrow we'll be sober.
Here's to the man drinks water pure And goes to bed quite sober (x2)
Falls as the leaves do fall (x3)
He'll die before October.
Here's to the man who drinks strong ale
And goes to bed quite mellow (x2)
Lives as he ought to live (x3)
And dies a jolly good fellow.
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss
And runs to tell her mother (x2)
She's a foolish, foolish thing (x3)
She'll never get another.
Here's to the maid who steals a kiss
And comes back for another (x2)
She's a boon for all mankind (x3)
She'll very soon be a mother.
Where have you been all the day, Henry my son?
Where have you been all the day, my beloved one?
In the churchyard, in the churchyard
Oh make my bed, I've a pain in my head
And I want to lie down and die
What have you been eating, Henry my son?

Who gave you those berries, Henry my son?
Who gave you those berries, my beloved one?
My sister, my sister
Oh make my bed, I've a pain in my head
And I want to lie down and die
What colour were those berries, Henry my son?
What colour were those berries, my beloved one?
Red and yellow, red and yellow

And I want to lie down and die
What will you leave your father, Henry my son?
What will you leave your father, my beloved one?
Watch and chain, watch and chain

And I want to lie down and die
What will you leave your mother, Henry my son?
What will you leave your mother, my beloved one?
Keys to heaven, keys to heaven

And I want to lie down and die
What will you leave your sister, Henry my son
What will you leave your sister, my beloved one?
Knives to stab her, chains to bind her
Oh make my bed, I've a pain in my head
And I want to lie down and die

An old man came courting me, hey ding dorum da
An old man came courting me, me being young
An old man came courting me, fain would he marry me
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
'Cause he's lost his fallorum fal diddle di-orum
He's lost his fallorum fal diddle di-ay
He's lost his fallorum he's got no ding dorum
Oh maids when you're young never wed an old man
When we went to church, hey ding dorum day
When we went to church, me being young
When we went to church, he left me in the lurch
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
'Cause he's lost his fallorum...
When we went to bed, hey ding dorum day
When we went to bed, me being young
When we went to bed, he lay like he was dead
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
'Cause he's lost his fallorum...
I threw me leg over him, hey ding dorum day
I threw me leg over him,
I threw me leg over him, damn near did smother him
Maids when you're young never wed an old man
'Cause he's lost his fallorum...
When he went to sleep, hey ding dorum day
When he went to sleep, me being young
When he went to sleep, out of bed I did leap
Into the arms of a handsome young man
And he's got me fallorum fal diddle di-orum
He's got me fallorum fal diddle di-ay
He's got-me fallorum I found his ding dorum
Oh maids when you're young never wed an old man

As I was sitting with jug and spoon
One fine morning in the month of June
A birdie sat on an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was a jug of punch
Toora loora loo, Toora loora loo
Toora loora loo, Toora loora loo
A birdie sat on an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was a jug of punch
What more diversion can a man desire
Than to court a maid by an ale house fire?
With Kerry Pippin to crack and crunch
Aye, and on the table a jug of punch
Toora loora loo, Toora loora loo
Toora loora loo, Toora loora loo
A birdie sat on an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was a jug of punch
The learned doctors with all their art
Cannot cure depression that's on the heart
Even the cripple forgets his hunch
When he's safe outside of a jug of punch
Toora loora loo, Toora loora loo
Toora loora loo, Toora loora loo
A birdie sat on an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was a jug of punch
And when I'm dead and in my grave
No costly tombstone will I crave
Just lay me down in my native peat
With a jug of punch at my head and feet

I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
I am a tower of strength within and without
I am a tower of strength within
I let all burdens fall from my shoulders
All anxieties slip from my mind
I let all burdens fall from my shoulders
All anxieties slip from my mind
I let every shackle be loose, I
Let every shackle be loose
I let every shackle be loose, I
Let every shackle be loose
