Sits a ragged tent Where there ain’t no trees And that gospel groove Summertime Tellin’ you and me it’s C: George Gershwin (m); DuBose Heyward (l) From “Porgy and Bess” Chorus: Love Brother Love say Brother Love’s Summertime and the livin’ is easy. Traveling salvation show. The fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high. Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies Your daddy’s rich ‘cause everyone goes and you mama’s good lookin’. ‘cause everyone knows So hush little baby, don’t you cry. Brother Love shows One of these mornings You’re gonna rise up singin’. The room gets suddenly still You’ll spread your wings And when you’d almost bet And take to the sky. You could hear yourself sweat But ‘til that mornin’ He walks in. There ain’t nothin’ can harm you Not with mama and daddy standin’ by Eyes black as coal And when he lifts his face Summertime and the livin’ is easy. Every ear in the place The fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high. Is on him. Your daddy’s rich and you mama’s good lookin’. Starting soft and slow So hush little baby, don’t you cry. Like a small earthquake And when he lets go Half the valley shakes, it’s (chorus) (hallelujah chorus w/sermon) 3 Morning Blues C: ? Helplessly Hoping P: The Correctones (Ithaca NY jug band, 1970s) C: Stephen Stills P: Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young I’ve been in business, been in love Used to fly high, like a turtledove. Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby I had the blues, many a time. Awaiting a word. It’s just another woman Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit, he runs On a poor boy’s mind, Wishing he could fly, Only to trip at the sound of good-bye. Chorus: I got the morning blues Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and Feelin’ so bad wonders at the empty place inside. Oh mama come and kiss me Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams, he ‘bout the worst I ever had. worries, did he hear a good-bye Or even a hello. I woke up this morning Had a pain in my head, Chorus: So I crawled right back into bed. They are one person The morning blues made me feel so bad They are two alone ‘bout the worst old feelin’ that I ever had, They are three together They are for each other (chorus) The sun was still shining, I couldn’t get up. Stand by the stairway you’ll see something certain I guess I’ll never get outta this rut. to tell you confusion has its cost. Sometimes I chew tobacco, Love isn’t lying it’s loose in a lady who lingers Sometimes I cool my heels, saying she is lost Sometimes I get so lonesome and choking on hello. Yes, you know just how I feel, (chorus) (chorus) A nickel’s worth of grease, a dime’s worth of lard I would buy a hog, but the times is hard. There ain’t no use in my workin’ too hard ‘cause I can live off the chickens in my neighbor’s yard, (chorus) I’ve been in business, been in love Used to fly high, like a turtledove. I had the blues, many a time. It’s just another woman On a poor boy’s mind, (chorus) 4 Grapefruit In Your Life C/P: Neal Gladstone And your taste buds burst with song (ahh, ahhhh, ahh) The world can be a bitter place in a fructose exaltation. When trouble’s on your stair. Let us bid a fond salute But keep one thing in mind my friend to the noble citrus fruit. And you need not despair. Thank your grocer, thank the south (thank the south) When there’s a grapefruit in you life, There’s a grapefruit in your mouth Every morning is a treasure. (ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhhhh) When you stumble from your bed, Your eyes are slits of red, And your tongue tastes like a tire. When you open up the door That’s What You Get For Of your frost-free Kelvinator, Loving Me There’s a gleaming yellow sphere C: Gordon Lightfoot Right behind the beer P: Elvis Presley; Peter, Paul and Mary Cast aside your cares and strife. There’s a grapefruit in your life. That’s what you get for loving me. That’s what you get for loving me. When there’s a grapefruit on your plate, Everything you have is gone as you can see. You tremble with anticipation, That’s what you get for loving me. When a perfect golden jewel, Succulent and cool, I ain’t the kind to hang around Wakens to your fond caress. With any new love that I’ve found. Movin’ is my stock and trade, I’m movin’ on. When you pierce the blushing skin I won’t think of you when I’m gone. Juices flow in all directions. Slice a tender ruby wedge Now don’t you shed a tear for me, With your cool serrated edge I’m not the love you thought I’d be. Bow your head and celebrate, I’ve had a hundred more like you, There’s a grapefruit on you plate. So don’t be blue. I’ll have a thousand ‘fore I’m through. I have known life’s greatest pleasures; Rembrandt, Keats, and Mahler. Now there you go, you’re cryin’ again. But, how can Keats compete with these Now there you go, you’re cryin’ again. At three pounds for a dollar? But then someday when your poor heart Is on the mend, When there’s a grapefruit in your mouth, I just might pass this way again. You can scarce believe you’re mortal, And every tender bite you chew And that’s what you get for loving me. Spreads a sweet and fruity goo That’s what you get for loving me. Over every tooth and gum (tooth and gum) Everything you have is gone as you can see. That’s what you get for loving me. That’s what you get for loving me. That’s what you get for loving me.
