When you're a hustler
There is one thing you should know
You gotta hustle every day
When you're a hustler
There's no time to take it slow
Gather ye suckers while ye may
Monday you're hot
Tuesday you're not
And that's the reason why they say...
You gotta use what got
To get whatcha want
Before whatcha got is gone
You gotta reach for that ring
When you're on that ride
How long does that ride go on?
You gotta learn every dance
Return every glance
While you have the chance to score
You gotta use whatcha got
To get whatcha want
Before you ain't got no more
Your clock starts running
On the day that you are born
It just keeps tick-tick-ticking on
There's only so much time to
Blow your little horn
Before your time has come
And gone
Wednesday you're new
Thursday you're through
It happens sooner than you know
That gravy train gets mighty slow
So as I told you a long time ago
You gotta use what got
To get whatcha want
Before whatcha got is gone
You got to reach for that ring
When you're on that ride
How long does that ride go on?
You gotta learn every dance
Return every glance
While you have the chance to score
You gotta use whatcha got
To get whatcha want
So take my advice
From this moment on
Remember to use whatcha got
To get e-ver-y-thing that you want
Before whatcha got is gone
Bigger isn't better
Taller isn't braver
Stronger isn't always wise
Smaller isn't necessarily the lesser
Guts can come in any size
Lady luck can favor
Just a little shaver
Over one who's 6-foot-3
Brains in any tussle
Mops the floor with muscle
Bet your life I'm glad I'm me
Bigger isn't keener
Larger isn't bolder
Higher might be low inside
When you need to lean upon a friendly shoulder
Narrow's just as good as wide
See the mighty lion sittin there and crying bitten by a tiny flea
Mammoth was colossal what's he now? A fossil!
Bet your life I'm glad I'm me
What's strong in bulk may lag along
In brains and heart
That handsome hulk might be a Lilliputian mentally
Provin' consequently...
Though he shows his shoulders twice as big as boulders
If the brain's a tiny pea
When you're in a pickle
He ain't worth a nickel
Bet your life I'm...
Bet your life I'm glad I'm me
The dinosaur's no more, the dear old dodo's dead
But right there on that floor some ant will still be treadin' after Armageddon
Measuring a hero, weight is less than zero
Height ain't worth a hoot in hell
Show me any hunk of man to match the spunk of
Tiny Tim or Little Nell
Giants look so awesome folks are scared to cross em'
None the less I guarantee
Small as Yankee Doodle if he's in the moodle beat the whole
Caboodle using just his noodle...
Bet your life I'm glad I'm me!
[Barnum]
A cheek as fair as falling snow
Two eyes that hold a special glow
A sigh as soft as summer wind
A trembling smile -- Miss Jenny Lind!
[Jenny Lind] (in Swedish)
Botrom all grans
U tom all tid
Charlikens ler och lockar
Charlekens vind
[?]
[Jenny Lind] (in English)
Love knows no rules
Love has no time
Love laughs at rhyme and reason
Sweeping the stage
Mad or sublime
Knowing no age or season
Wise men and fools
Playing love's game
Bend to the same sweet treason
Love's silver song
Swift as a flame
Reaches the strongest wall
Love knows no rules
Love has no time
Love makes such fools of us all
The colors of my life
Are bountiful and bold,
The purple glow of indigo,
The gleam of green and gold.
The splendor of the sunrise,
The dazzle of a flame,
The glory of a rainbow,
I'd put 'em all to shame.
No quiet browns and grays,
I'll take my days instead
And fill them till they overflow
With rose and cherry red!
And should this sunlit world
Grow dark one day,
The colors of my life
Will leave a shining light
To show the way...
No quiet browns and grays,
I'll take my days instead
And fill them till they overflow
With rose and cherry red!
And should this sunlit world
Grow dark one day,
The colors of my life
Will leave a shining light
To show the way...

"Firefly" の歌詞は別項にします。
I call her Firefly
Cause, oh, my
She radiates moonglow
Wants none of that noon glow
She starts to glitter
When the sun goes down
Bout eight p.m., it's mayhem
She switches the brights up
Lights up and gives me a call
Take me to the Fireflies ball
But when I get her there
Set her there
Do I get to pet her there
And grab me some glow
No, she's a gad about, mad about
Luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low
Oh, Firefly, why can't I
Latch on to you no how
Oh, how I love you but gee
While you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on me
He calls me Firefly
Cause, oh, my
I radiate moonglow
Want none of that noon glow
Start to glitter
When the sun goes down
Bout eight p.m., it's mayhem
I'm switching those brights up
Light up and give you a call
Take me to the Fireflies ball
But when I get her there
Set her there
Do I get to pet her there
Grab me some glow
No, she's a gad about, mad about
Luring every lad about
While leaving me moaning low
Oh, Firefly, why can't I
Latch on to you no how
Oh, how I love you but gee
While you set the night on
Firefly, shine a little light on
Shine a little light on
Shine a little light on me
On me

"Why Try to Change Me Now?"
I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
I've got some habits even I can't explain
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now?
I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now?
Why can't I be more conventional?
People talk, people stare, so I try
But that's not for me, 'cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world go passing me by
So, let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember I was always your clown?
Why try to change me now?

^Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here
Don’t pass the plate folks, don’t pass the cup
I figure whenever you’re down and out, the only way is up
And I’ll be up like a rosebud high on the vine
Don’t thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some
And look out world, here I come
(Rep from ^)
Nobody in the world was ever without a prayer
How can you win the world if nobody knows you’re there?
Kid, when you need the crowd, the tickets are hard to sell
Still, you can lead the crowd if you can get up and yell
Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here
I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some
And look out world, here me shout world
And look out world, here I come

If they could see me now
That little gang of mine
I'm eating fancy chow
And drinking fancy wine
I'd like those stumblebums
To see for a fact
The kind of top-drawer, first-rate chums
I attract
All I can say is "Wow,"'
Hey, look at where I am
Tonight I landed, pow!
Right in a pot of jam
What a setup! Holy cow!
They'd never believe it
If my friends could see me now
If they could see me now
My little dusty group
Traipsing around this
Million-dollar chicken coop
I'd hear those thrift-shop cats
Say "Brother, get her!
Laid on a bed spread made from
Three kinds of fur!"
All I can say is "Wow"
Wait till the riff and raff
See just exactly how
He'd sign his autograph
What a build-up! Holy cow!
They'd never believe it
If my friends could see me now
If they could see me now
Alone with Mister V
Who's waiting on me
Like he was a maitre d'
I'd hear my buddies sayin'
"Crazy what gives?
Tonight she's livin'
Like the other half lives!"
To think the highest brow
Which I must say is he
Should pick the lowest brow
Which there's no doubt is me
What a step up! Holy cow!
They'd never believe it
They'd never believe it
If my friends could see me now
