"Not Cricket To Picket" lyrics
"Not Cricket To Picket"
It's not cricket to picket, not cricket
Oh no, it's just not comme il faut to picket
You haven't any right, you know
You're acting in great haste
Just think of the predicament
In which your boss is placed
And, entre nous, I think
It's in exceedingly bad taste
Not cricket to picket, not cricket
It's not cricket to picket, not cricket
Atrocious and gauche, you know, to picket
Go home and starve like gentlemen
Not like a noisy brood
Real ladies never make a fuss
Though they lack clothes and food
And money's never talked about
For that would be quite rude
Not cricket to picket, not cricket
It's not picket to cricket, not picket
Uncultured and unmannerly to picket
You know you're misbehaving now
You mustn't lose your mind
You're being so inelegant
And frankly quite unkind
Excuse my indiscretion
But you're ardent unrefined
Not picket to cricket, not picket
It ain't ticket to stick it not picket
Now officer, give each man there a cricket
Oh, dear, where is your decency
No Vanderbilts or Asters
Would ask in such a vulgar way
Befitting only dastards
I beg you get the hell away
You lousy bunch of-
What do you mean "disturbing the peace"?
Come with you?
Offi - Officer, you're bruising my mink
Get your hands off, kid!
You don't seem to know who I am
Or whom I know
Listen, I'm an intimate friend of Jimmy Walker
You won't get me in that black wagon!

ABBA - "Thank You For The Music" I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
'Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I'm so grateful...

When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I prayed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made...
John Denver - "Leaving On A Jet Plane" All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye

Don McLean - "And I Love You So" And I love you so
The people ask me how
How I've lived till now
I tell them "I don't know"
I guess they understand
How lonely life has been
But life began again
The day you took my hand
And yes I...
