Yes I’ve been waiting
Waiting patiently and waiting

Well if you ever feeling sorry
So sorry for yourself
And they tell you not to worry
Just leave your problems on the shelf

C’est what? C’est what, oh well C’est what?
That’s what they tell you
C’est what? C’est what, oh well C’est what?
Day and night

You’re on the inside looking outside
Wishing you were somewhere else
But you sit back with reservations
As you count up all your unearned wealth

C’est what? C’est what, oh well C’est what?
Ah they’re sayin’ it again
C’est what? C’est what, oh well C’est what?
You know it and I know it too

Well let me tell you a story
Like the one’s I used to know
‘Bout love and all its glory
Well I’m sorry but it just ain’t so

It took a long time just to get even
If you know just what I mean
So let’s call it even Steven
In the land of broken dreams

C’est what? C’est what, oh well C’est what?
Ah they’re at it again
C’est what? C’est what, oh well C’est what?
Every day and every night
I can’t take it anymore

Gonna get it, don’t sweat it
Don’t apologize, it’s all around you
Gonna get it, don’t sweat it
Don’t apologize, it’s all around you

You may never be all that you wanna be
Deep down inside you, you know it will never be
No bed of roses or walk down the avenue
Culturally, socially, people walk over you
Get with the program and make with the attitude
Life is a dream if you face it my friend

Hey Hey

Here I am again
In this smoky place
With my brandy eyes
I’m talking to myself
You were the one
You were the one

Here I go again
Looking for your face
And I realize
That I should look for someone else
But you were the one
You were the one

I’m looking for comfort
That I can take
From someone else
But after all
I know there is no one
That can save me from myself
You were the only one

Me revoici
Dans ce bar enfume
Avec mes yeux iures
Je me parle a moi meme
C’etait toi
C’etait toi

Me revoici
Cherchant ton visage
Et je realise
Que je devrais en chercher une autre
C’etait toi
You were the one

Je recherche l’affection
Qu’une autre pourrait me donner
Mais apres tout
Je sais qu’il n’y a personne
Personne qui puisse me sauver
Tu etais la seule

I’m looking for comfort
That I can take
From someone else
But after al
I know there is no one
That can save me, save me from myself
You were the only one

Tell me tell me how I’m doing tonight
I could take this forever
The more I get the better all right
C’mon and spoil me
Let me be the apple of your eye
I could take this forever
The more I get the better all right

This ain’t my first time but
it’s never been like this before
Can this be magic
I can’t keep my feet on the floor

Love c’mon and cast your spell on me
C’mon c’mon c’mon c’mon
Love c’mon and cast your spell on me

verse 1

Hey sugar mama gaze into your crystal ball
I’m in there hoping you’ll want me at your beck and call

chorus x2

verse 1

chorus x3

I don’t sing no songs to make you sad
Only ones to love me
Every now and then again
If you’re feeling down and lonely
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
C’mon and love me

Ain’t it downright sad at times
When your love’s been mistaken
There’s no one left, no one’s around
Only your heart breaking
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
C’mon and love me

I believe that you and I as men
Should love one and another
Satiesfied, have a peace of mind
Love your neighbour as your brother
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
C’mon and love me
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
C’mon and love me
C’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon, c’mon
C’mon and love me

I can’t stop (stop stop)
The way I yawn (yawn yawn)
When a Y (Y Y)
Comes along

O’s OK (so so)
A’s alright (or as it goes)
All the letters from A to Z
None of them compares to C

C drives me crazy (C C)
Like no letter around (C C)
C drives me crazy
And I can’t calm myself down

C makes cookie (cookie cookie)
C makes cat (cat cat)
C makes camel (camel camel)
X can’t do that

C climbs high (so high)
C can cruise
Other letters get on my nerves
‘Cause they don’t curve the way C curves

C drives me crazy (C C)
Like no letter around (C C)
C drives me crazy
And I can’t calm myself down

I can’t cut it without my C
No other letter does it for me

C drives me crazy (C C)
Like no letter around (C C)
C drives me crazy
And I can’t calm myself down

Cry cry cry
Cry like a baby
“C” Moon “C” Moon
So where do you go, up hi under low
The devil I know said, something is missing
Outside it’s hot, the first of July
And a look in your eye said, something is missing

Midnight, she cried like a baby
“C” Moon “C” Moon “C” Moon
Cry like a baby
Can this be something we can’t understand
Could it be the girl can’t understand

Where will we go, up hi under low
When the devil I know say, something is missing
Sweet angels sing, about the fast place of things
But our children sing, love will conquer anything

Midnight she cried like a baby
“C” Moon “C” Moon “C” Moon
Cry like a baby
Could it be we can’t understand
Can it be we can…

Cry, cry, cry, cry like a baby
Midnight cry like a whisper
Scream like a baby
Could this be something we can’t understand
Cry like a baby

When I was but a youngster
Christmas meant one thing,
that I’d be getting lots of toys that day

I learned a whole lot different
when Mother sat me down
and taught me to spell ‘Christmas’ this way:

‘C’ is for the Christ child, born upon this day
‘H’ for herald angels in the night
‘R’ means our Redeemer
‘I’ means Israel
‘S’ is for the star that shone so bright
‘T’ is for three wise men, they who travelled far
‘M’ is for the manger where He lay
‘A’ ‘s for all He stands for
‘S’ means Shepard’s came

And that’s why there’s a Christmas day!



And that’s why there’s a Christmas day!

Music by Eddy Arnold
with lyrics by Jenny Lou Carson, 1949

Verse One: Coolio

Now I’ve seen places and faces
And things you ain’t never thought about thinking
If you ain’t peek then you must be drinking and smokin
Pretending not to loc’in but you’re broken, let me get you open
Now little Timmy got his diploma and little Jimmy got life
And Tamikra around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
The other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money
And when the other homies heard about it they thought that it was funny
But who’s the dummy, cause, now you done lost the hustler
A down-ass brother got replaced by a buster
And though I got love for ya, I know I can’t trust ya
Cause my crew is rollin home and your crew is rollin dusta
And just because of that you act like you don’t like the brother no more
Uh, I guess that’s just the way it goes
I ain’t tryin to preach, I believe I can reach
But your mind ain’t prepared, I’ll see you when you get there
Chorus:

I’ll see you when you get there
When you ever get there
See you when you get there
I’ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
Verse Two: Lek Ratt (40 Thevz)

More temptation and faith, I guess we livin for the day
I seen a man get swept off his feet, by a bullet and an AK
The situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted
I’m just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business
Cause it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
So you don’t get caught sittin’ when they come and do all the gettin
Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big horse
Someone’s gotta run a little faster cause we gotta lay the strugle
I’d be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
And if everybody’s a sinner then everybody could be a winner
No matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers
And regardless of the time somebody out there still love us
I’m a scuff and struggle and y’all I’m breathless and weak
I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
Always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
I’ll be there when you get there when you wit the sound bumpin
Chorus

Verse Three: PS (40 Thevz)

You need to loosen up and live a little
And if you got kids let them know how you feelin
For your own sake give a little
Oh, you don’t want to hear that, you busy tryin a stack
and keep them from the Jones’s is taking advantage of your own
The realest homies that you’ve been knowing for the longest
But some ain’t missing a good thing until it’s gone
Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us
We prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe when
It’s something wrong and we desire
so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous
I know time seems right, and the problems seem endless
But at the times of despair we gotta put ourselves together
And if you feel you’re out of the game then you need to get back in it
Cause nothing worse than a quitter
you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition
and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side
Chorus

Outro: Coolio

As we walk down the road of our destiny
And the time comes to choose which it gonna be
The wide and crooked, on a straight barrel
We got one push to give and one life to live
Stand up for something or lie down in your game
Listen to the song that we sing
It’s up to you to make it big
I guess I’ll see you when you see me
Chorus — fade out

Oh, the sky has turned grey,
And the world seems sad and blue.
All the laughter’s gone away.
Guess there’s just one thing to do…

(reaches down and, grinning, pulls out a great big cookie)

C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

(she is joined by a choir)

C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

A round cookie with one bite out of it
Looks like a C.
A round pita bread with one big bite out of it
Also looks like a C,
But it’s not as good as a cookie.
Oh…
And the moon sometimes looks like a C,
Yes the moon sometimes looks like a C,
But you can’t eat that, SO…

C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

Cookie, Cookie, Cookie,
Cookie, Cookie, Cookie starts with C!

Cookie Monster: (coming in from the side) Did me hear somebody say cookie?

(he eats the bottom cookie of the giant cookie-pyramid, which then collapses)

(embarrassed) Oh. Thank you. (he leaves)

[Now what starts with the letter C?
Cookie starts with C
Let’s think of other things
That starts with C
Oh, who cares about the other things?]

C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C

[Hey you know what?
A round cookie with one bite out of it
Looks like a C
A round donut with one bite out of it
Also looks like a C
But it is not as good as a cookie
Oh and the moon sometimes looks like a C
But you can’t eat that, so … ]

C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me, yeah!
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C, yeah!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C, oh boy!
Cookie, cookie, cookie starts with C!

(Cookie Monster eats the cookie)
Umm-umm-umm-umm-umm
