A Really Bad Case Of The Blues
Copyright Bod 2012
My head is spinning - I feel so ill
My stomach’s turning - I’m a little
green around the gills
I called my doctor – My doctor said,
“Your diagnosis is quite simple – The problem’s in your head”
She thinks
that my prognosis doesn’t look so good too
She said I’ve got a really bad case of the blues
My vision’s blurry and it’s hard for
me to speak
My knees are shaking – I could really use a good night’s sleep
I called my lawyer – He hasn’t got a clue
He said, “I’d like
to help you but I don’t know who to sue”
And when the verdict came in, he polled the jury, too
They said I have a really bad case of
the blues
If I had pneumonia - Or if I had the flu
I’d take a hot bath and drink some tea and honey too
I’d add a little
lemon - And maybe a raw egg
And then I’d go lay down and pull the blanket
up over my head
My heart is broken - I feel so bad
I hurt in places that I never knew I had
I called my mother - She said to me,
“I
feel so sorry for you sweetie but the truth is plain to see
There’s just one explanation for what you’re going through
It’s because
you have a really bad case of the blues”
I don’t want ibuprofen
or a dose of some vaccine
Penicillin wouldn’t help and I’m allergic
to codeine
I just want to feel normal - And I don’t know what to
do
And I have this sinking feeling that it’s all because of you
My
body aches - My nerves are shot
I may have slipped a disc but no one’s really sure of what I’ve got
My car mechanic checked under my
hood
He said my Saab is fine but that I don’t look so good
He said I need an overhaul that’s been long overdue
He thinks I have a really
bad case of the blues
I guess I should admit what everybody says is true
I’ve got a really bad case of the blues
I’ve got a really
bad case of the blues
I’ve got a sinking feeling that it’s all because of you
I’ve got a really bad case of the blues
I’ve got
a really bad case of the blues
Some Way, Somehow

Some way, somehow - I'll get over you
Some way, somehow – It's the best thing I'll ever do
I will harden my heart – I will make a vowThe
day will come - It's just a matter of time
I will bury the past – What’s done is done
I will leave you behind - when the day will come
I
gave you my heart – but you took my soul
I tried to draw you in – you left me out in the cold
And every time that you did – it
tore me apart
I guess I wasn’t so smart
Some way, somehow - I will break the chain
Some way, somehow – I’ll get back on my feet
again
You fooled me before – but that won’t happen now
I will break the chain, some way, somehow
You never gave in - I never gave
up
Everything that I did was never quite good enough
Your hold on me was so tight - You never cut me some slack
How could you treat
me like that
Some way, somehow - I’ll get over you
Some way, somehow – if it’s the last thing I’ll ever do
I will harden my heart
– I will make a vow
To get over you some way, somehow
I will leave you behind - some way, somehow
I will break the chain -
some way, somehow
Some way, somehow - some way, somehow
Some way, somehow - some way, somehow
Some way, somehow - some way, somehow
Some
way, somehow
A Perfect World
Copyright Bod and Alpert 2010
The world is filled with people who are just the same as you and me
What
will it take before we treat each other as we should
In a perfect world we all can see the good in each and everyone
Open up your eyes
and look around – if only we all would
If you want someone to smile at you and make you feel like they’re your friend
Just remember
that the smile you give will be returned to you
In a perfect world we all can see the good in each and everyone
Open up your eyes and
look around – it isn’t hard to do
We can make a perfect world
If you want it we can make a perfect world
We can make this dream
come true
There’s so much that we can do
If we all work together we can make a perfect world
We can have a perfect world
If you
want it we can have a perfect world
Let’s not be afraid to try
Don’t let one more day go by
Let’s all come together and we’ll make a
perfect world
In a perfect world we all can live together side by side in peace
In a perfect world nobody ever has to feel afraid
In
a perfect world it wouldn’t matter what is yours and what is mine
Open up your eyes and look around – we’re running out of time
We
can make a perfect world
If you want it we can make a perfect world
We can make this dream come true
There’s so much that we can do
If
we all work together we can make a perfect world
We can have a perfect world
If you want it we can have a perfect world
Let’s not
be afraid to try
Don’t let one more day go by
Let’s all come together and we’ll make a perfect world
In a perfect world we’ll never
have to live under the cloud of war
And we’ll treat the world and everything that’s in it with respect
We won’t drill for oil, pollute
the air or turn our backs on those in need
Open up your eyes and look around – it’s time that we all see
That we can make a perfect
world
If you want it we can make a perfect world
We can make this dream come true
There’s so much that we can do
If we all work together
we can make a perfect world
We can have a perfect world
If you want it we can have a perfect world
Let’s not be afraid to try
Don’t
let one more day go by
Let’s all come together and we’ll make a perfect world
Let’s not be afraid to try
Don’t let one more day
go by
Because we’re running out time – let’s make a perfect world
It may sound naïve to say
We can start this right away
But let
us not waste one more day – let’s make a perfect world
When You Were My Baby

When you were my baby
I had sunshine when it rained
When
you were my baby
I never saw a cloudy day
You were the world to me and anyone could see that you were my everything - Baby, you were my everything
When you were
my baby
I had the world on the end of a string
When you were my baby
I had a smile for every living thing
The sun and stars could
never shine as bright or light my life the way you could - Oh the way only you could
You were my day and night and everything was right when you let
me love you - There was no one above you
When you were my baby
I’ll never know what made you leave one day without
a word
Oh was it something that I might have said or something
that you heard
I only know that you will always be a part of me
And I pray
that soon you’ll come back where you used to be
When you were my baby
You were my day and night and everything was right when you
let me love you - Oh how I loved you
When you were my baby
I had sunshine when it rained when you were
my baby
I had the world in the palm of my hand when you were my baby
I had everything I desired, nothing else was required
When
you were my baby
