Morse Moose And The Gray Goose Composer(s): Paul McCartney; Laine Performer(s): Paul McCartney & Wings
Right on down at the bottom of the sea tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you Right on down at the bottom of the sea tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
The grey goose was a steady boat, people said, she'd never float But one night when the moon was high, the grey goose flew away As we were sailing round the rocks, the mate took out his compass box and said the wind is like a fox but the grey goose flew away
When out upon the open sea, the admiral, the mate and me prepared to face eternity, but the grey goose flew away She flew into the stormy sea, Davy Jones was calling me But heading for tranquillity, the grey goose flew away
Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you, yeah
This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling
Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling...
Right on down at the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you
This is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling this is the Morse Moose calling, this is the Morse Moose calling
Oh, right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling you Right on down to the bottom of the sea, tell me, are you receiving me? My name is Morse Moose and I'm calling, calling you

These are the words of a frontier lad Who lost his love when he turned bad
Take a message to Mary but dont tell her where I am Take a message to Mary but dont say Im in a jam You can tell her I had to see the world or tell her that my ship set sail You can say she better not wait for me but dont tell her Im in jail Oh, dont tell her Im in jail
Take a message to Mary but dont tell her what Ive done Please dont mention the stagecoach and the shot from a careless gun You can tell her I had to change my plans and cancel out the wedding day But please dont mention my lonely cell where Im gonna pine away Until my dying day
Take a message to Mary but dont tell her all you know My hearts aching for Mary, Lord knows I miss her so Just tell her I went to Timbuktu, tell her Im searching for gold You can say she better find someone new to cherish and to hold Oh, Lord, this cell is cold

Chorus:
I'm a girl watcher, I'm a girl watcher... Watchin' girls go by, hey, my my I'm a girl watcher, I'm a girl watcher... Here comes one now

Morningside Composer(s): Neil Diamond Performer(s): Neil Diamond; Marcus Dagan; Dennis Pavao
Morningside, the old man died And no one cried, they simply turned away And when he died He left a table filled with nails and pride And with his hands he carved these words inside "For my children"
Morning light, morning bright I spent the night with dreams that make you weep Morning time Wash away the sadness from these eyes of mine For I recall the words an old man signed "For my children"
And the legs were shaped with his hands And the table made with oaken wood And the children that sat around this table Touched it with their laughter, and that was good
Morningside, the old man died And no one cried, he surely died alone And truth is sad For not a child would claim the gift he had The words he carved became his epitaph...... "For my children"

They like to chat about the dresses they will wear tonight They chew the fat about their tresses and the neighbours' fight Inconsequential things that men don't really care to know Become essential things that women find so apropos But that's a dame They're all the same It's just a game They call it girl talk, girl talk They all me-ouw about the ups and downs of all their friends The who, the how, the why, they dish the dirt, it never ends The weaker sex, the speaker sex, we mortal males behold But though we joke, we wouldn't trade you for a ton of gold So baby stay, and gab away But hear me say That after girl talk Talk to me But that's a dame They're all the same It's just a game They call it girl talk, girl talk So baby stay, and gab away But hear me say That after girl talk Talk to me

Last night as I got home about a half past ten There was the woman I thought I knew In the arms of another man I kept my cool, I ain't no fool Let me tell you what happened then I packed some clothes and I walked out And I ain't going back again
So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Say I won't be coming home, gonna start a new life So take a letter Maria, address it to my wife Send a copy to my lawyer, gotta start a new life
You've been many things but most of all a good secretary to me And it's times like this I feel you've always been close to me Was I wrong to work nights to try to build a good lif All work and no play has just cost me a wife

Hier J'ai vu mourir Un grand amour fait pour durer L'un de mes meilleurs amis A détruit son bonheur passé Il est parti de chez lui Et s'est rendu à son bureau Sa secrétaire se leva Mon ami lui dicta ces mots
Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà
C'est dur De vivre à deux Sans jamais connaître l'ennui L'habitude d'être heureux A lassé mon meilleur ami Il veut Changer de vie Et connaître d'autres aventures Quant à sa femme Il l'oublie Et provoque ainsi la rupture
Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà
Sa course Au bonheur N'est pourtant pas prêt de finir Il ferme Son coeur Et n'en finit plus de mentir Il est parti de chez lui Et s'est rendu à son bureau Sa secrétaire se leva Mon ami lui dicta ces mots
Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà Envoie la lettre Maria Adressée à ma femme Demain quant elle la lira Nous serons loin déjà
