the inevitable


1.  "Lover's Lane"
Broadway really ain't quite the same 
Since you and I found Lover's Lane. 
Standing on the corner Fourth and Main 
Dreaming of you, way downtown in Lover's Lane. 
The sun is down the moon is bright 
Lover's want to stroll all night. 
Way downtown in Lover's Lane. 
Well, getting high on bourbon and champagne 
Just can't compare to what we share 
Down on Lover's Lane 
Standing on the corner Fourth and Main 
Still it cannot match the thrill of Lover's Lane
When all the world is fast asleep, 
She'll be jumping off Lover's Leap 
With some other fella down in Lover's Lane.

2.  "Danny Diamond"
Danny Diamond, she was a star 
She took the stage every quarter hour 
She was the hottest gig in town, in fact 
He was the hottest girl around. 
She had the strut, she had the lines 
To make a man's heart go 'round about... 
She put it all into her act until 
One night after the show. 
Danny gyrated, wouldn't you know 
Something had to go 
Down she smack- It was her back 
completely crack- so fade to black... 
So ends the act of Danny Diamond 
She was a star.

3.  "I've Found a New Baby"
I've found a new baby, I've found a new girl,
My fashion plate baby got me in a whirl
Her new kind of lovin' done made me her slave,
Her sweet turtle dovin' is all that I crave.
Sweetest miss, with a kiss, full o' bliss, can't resist 
Tells me lies, but she's wise, naughty eyes mesmerize.
You know I don't mean maybe, baby. 
I just had to fall.
And that is why I say, "Swing, you dogs!"
I don't mean maybe. I have found a new baby,
So, baby, that's all!

4.  "Anything but Love"
I sing a song about clouds and rainbows 
I hum a tune that sings like a dove. 
Rhyme some words about anything 
Anything but love. 
I paint a picture of my prison 
With blue and grey from the skies above 
Framed and signed with the title 
"Anything but Love." 
He had to go but I won't miss him 
I have got better things to do 
Like writing stories and painting pictures 
Of anything but love. 
I write a story about a couple 
Steal a plot from an old movie 
You can tell what inspired it 
Anything but love.

5.  "Good Enough for Granddad"
If it's good enough for Granddad
It's good enough for me.
The way it was that's the way it's got to be.
He told me all about the good times that he had. 
Even when the times were sad. 
What's good enough for grandad. 
He's been to all kinds of places
Been to every old foreign land
Ain't a man alive shuck and jive
Better than Granddad can!
All the good times that he had. 
If they were good enough for Granddad,
They're good enough for me.

6.  "Wished For You"
I wished on a star "Send me down a lover
Don't want any other kind of love."
Wished on a star "Save my heart from sadness
Save my mind from madness from afar."
Used to sit and cry all day
Wonder why my love would fade.
Used to while away the hour
Cannot go on, cannot go on
Without you.
Now I don't do the things I used to do
Ever since the day I wished for you.

7.  "La Grippe"
There's a flu bug getting passed around 
And it's spreading like fire through the town. 
There's a virus holing up inside us. 
Everyone that I know is coming down. 
There's an Asian influenza 
Infecting us all by the score. 
And it's turning into pneumonia 
We must go out once more. 
There's a fool moon howling at the night 
And it's bark is much worse than it's bite. 
So we must go out and dance around 
Yes we must go out tonight. 
So the doctors came on the evening train. 
With their flasks and their caskets and vials. 
Mass psychosis was the diagnosis 
So we all cashed our checks and went wild.

8.  "Lugubrious Whing Whang"
[instrumental]

9.  "Club Limbo"
Before this evening draws to a close
And you go home to homework.
Before the moon goes down on lonely street
I know a place where we can go, baby,
Where you can find out just how low life can be.
Has no one told you, you have a future, girl
So bright and filled with promise
Has no one lead you down to Club Limbo.
That's just the place for us to meet, baby,
Where you can find out just how your life should be.
The clock is ticking and you are picking
Clothes, maybe to wear tomorrow
You haven't met me yet...Soon you will
Down at Club Limbo they still play Stardust
Down at Club Limbo that's the place for love.

10.  "Wash Jones"
I was talking to an oak tree
When the cypress butted in.
Out of car parts, a raven
Made a nest inside my skin.
To understand me better
You all ought to follow me home
I make a wish I clean the fish
I can scream like the cicada
Gin the seed right out of the bowl
Ride the train to Memphis
When there's cotton to be sold.
To understand this better
You all ought to follow me home
Make a wish & clean the fish
That's why they call me Wash Jones.
I feel like driving but my car won't run
I feel like plowing but my mules won't come.
I was lost down in the bottom
I was cutting through the cane
Tied my team up to a rusty trace chain
That's why they call me Wash Jones.

11.  "You're Driving Me Crazy"
You left me sad and lonely,
Why did you leave me lonely?
I have a heart that's only
For nobody but you.
I'm burning like a flame, dear.
Won't ever be the same, dear.
I always put the blame, dear,
On nobody but you.
Yes, you, you're drivin' me crazy!
My tears for you make everything hazy,
They cloud the skies of blue.
I do! I have friends who would hear me 
And cheer me, believe me, if they knew
That you were the kind who would hurt me,
Desert me when I needed you.
Yea, You, you're drivin' me crazy!
What did I do to you?

12.  "Plenty More"
They may walk hand in hand
Like lovers through the market square
Selecting leather goods,
Pretending that they just don't care
They say all the boys are monsters
All the girls are whores
So when you lose the one you love
There's always plenty more
They may be in a club
All dressed up waiting to meet you
Or in some garret bleak
Despairing over what to do
All the girls are monsters
All the boys are whores
So when you lose the one you love
There's always plenty more.
