#12 Everything Is Beautiful (Ray Stevens) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Jesus loves the little children
All the children of the world
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in his sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world🪄
Everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
On a snow covered winter’s day
And everybody’s beautiful in their own way
Under God’s heaven
The world’s gonna find the way🪄
There is none so blind
As he who will not see
We must not close up minds
We must let our thoughts be free🪄
For every hour that passes by
You know the world gets a little bit older
It’s time to realize that people lies
In the eyes of the beholder🪄
And everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
On a snow covered winter’s day, ah, sing it children
Everybody’s beautiful in their own way
Under God’s heaven
The world’s gonna find a way🪄
We shouldn’t care about the length of his hair
Of the color of his skin
Don’t worry about what shows from without
But the love that lives within🪄
And we’re gonna get old again now
Everything is gonna work out fine
Just take a little time to look on the good side my friend
And straighten it out in your mind🪄
And everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
On a snow covered winter’s day, ah, sing it children
Everybody’s beautiful in their own way
Under God’s heaven
The world’s gonna find a way, one more time🪄
Everything is beautiful in its own way
Like a starry summer night
On a snow covered winter’s day

#61 Gitarzan (Ray Stevens) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
He’s free as the breeze,
He’s always at ease.
He lives in the jungle
And hangs by his knees,
As he swings through trees
Without a trapeeze,
In his BVD’s.
A-hoo hoo!🪄
He’s got a union card
And he’s practicin’ hard
To play the gitar.
Gon’ be a big star,
Yeah he’s gonna go far.
An’ carry moonbeams home in a jar!🪄
He ordered Chet’s guitar course COD,
Makes A&E an’ he’s workin’ on B.
Digs C&W&R&B an’ an’ me an’ a chimpanzee
Agree that one day soon he’ll be,
A celebrity.
Get it!
Get it!
Get it!
Get it!
OWWWWWWWWW!🪄
Gitarzan!
He’s a gitar man!
He’s all you can stand,
Give him a hand,
Gitarzan!🪄
(Tarzan yell)
[Coughing]🪄
He’s gotta girl named Jane,
With no last name.
Kinda homely and plain,
But he loves her just the same.
‘Cause she kindles a flame,
And it drives him insane,
When he hears her sing.
She really does her thing.
It’s here claim to fame,
Come on, sing one Jane:🪄
Baby, baby, Whaooooo Baby!
[Scatting]
Whaooooo Baby!🪄
How ’bout that,
Lets here it for Jane!🪄
Thank ya’ folks.🪄
Well, they gotta pet monkey,
He likes to get drunky,
And sing boogie woogie,
And it sounds real funky,
Come on, yo’ time, boy,
Sing one monkey,
Here we go,🪄
[Monkey grunts]🪄
Lets here it for the monkey!
Whooooo!
(He He He He)🪄
On Saturday night they need some excitement,
Jane gets right and the monkey gets tight,
And their voices unite, in the pale moon light,
And it sounds alright, yeah, it’s dynamite,
It’s outta sight.
Let’s hear it, right nnnnnnnnow!🪄
[Gitarzan, Jane, and monkery all together]🪄
[Jane:]
Shut up baby, I’m tryin’ to sing!🪄
Get it!
Get it!
Get it!
Get it!
Owwwwwww!🪄
Gitarzan!
And his jungle band!
They’re all you can stand,
Give ’em a hand, Gitarzan!
[repeats once while fading]
