2) Charlie handed in his dime
At the Kendall Square Station
And he changed for Jamaica Plain
When he got there the conductor told him, 'One more nickel.'
Charlie could not get off that train.

3) Now all night long
Charlie rides through the tunnels
Saying, 'What will become of me?
How can I afford to see
My sister in Chelsea
Or my cousin in Roxbury?'

4) Charlie's wife goes down
To the Scollay Square station
Every day at quarter past two
And through the open window
She hands Charlie a sandwich
As the train comes rumblin' through. 

5) Now you citizens of Boston,
Don't you think it's a scandal
That the people have to pay and pay
Vote for Walter A. O'Brien
And fight the fare increase
Get poor Charlie off the MTA.

Tie Me Kangaroo Down Sport.

There's an old Australian stockman, lying, dying

And he gets himself up on one elbow

And he turns to his mates, who are all gathered 'round him

And he says

Watch me wallaby's feed, mate

Watch me wallaby's feed

They're a dangerous breed, mate

So watch me wallaby's feed (Chorus)

CHORUS:

THE MARVELOUS TOY

***********************

1) When I was just a wee little lad

Full of health and joy,

My father homeward bound he came,

And he gave to me this toy.

A wonder to behold it was

It had many colors bright;

And the moment I set my eyes on it,

It be came my heart's delight. (Chorus)

*******************************************************

CHORUS:

_______________________________________________________

It went zip when it moved,

Bop when it dropped,

Whirrrrr when it stood still!

I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will.

_______________________________________________________

2) The very first time that I picked it up

I had a big surprise.

At the very bottom were two big buttons,

That looked like two green eyes.

I first pushed one

And then I pushed the other

And then I twisted its lid.

And when I set it down again,

This is what it did. (Chorus)

*******************************************************

3) First it marched left

And then it marched right,

Then it marched right under a chair;

And when I went to see where it had gone,

It wasn't even there.

I began to sob

And my daddy laughed

For he knew that I would fine.

When I turned around

My marvelous little toy

Was chuggin' right behind. (Chorus)

*******************************************************

4) Many years have gone by

Too quickly it seems

And I have my own little boy;

And yesterday I gave to him

My marvelous little toy.

His eyes nearly popped

Right out of his head

And he gave a squeel of glee.

Neither one of us knows just what it is

But he loves it just like me.

*******************************************************

It still zips when it moves

Bops when it drops

Whirrrr when it stands still.

I never knew just what it was

And I guess I never will (2x)

LITTLE BOXES

1) Little Boxes on the hillside

Little boxes made of ticky tacky

Little boxes on the hillside,

Little boxes all the same.

There's a green one and a pink one

And a blue one and a yellow one,

And they're all made out of ticky tacky,
And they all look just the same.

2) And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

3) And they all play on the golf course
And drink their martinis dry,
And they all have pretty children
And the children go to school,
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
Where they are put in boxes
And they come out all the same.

4) And the boys go into business
And marry and raise a family
In boxes made of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

AMEN

Amen, amen
Amen, amen, amen

1) Sing it over 
Listen to my story
It's a story about my Jesus
Amen

2) See the little baby
You know He's wrapped in a manger
Born Christmas morning


3) See Him at the seashore
Talking to the fishermen
And He's making them disciples

4) Riding through Jerusalem
Waving palm branches
In pomp and splendor

5) See Him in the garden
Prayin to His Father
In deepest sorrow, sorrow

6) Led before Pilate
Then they crucified Him
But He rose on Easter

7) Glory hallelujah!
He died to save us
And He lives forever
