It's A New Day
03:03

Got no money to spend.
Not a dime or a friend.
Yet, things are gonna go my way.
Got the sun in the sky.
And a gleam in my eye.
Not gonna think of yesterday.
It's a new day!
It's a brand new day!
Thinking over things, my way.
A new day,
It's a brand new day!
And who can say just what might happen?
Got no reason to cry.
Who cares how, when, or why?
I know it won't help anyway.
Something's new in the air,
I can feel that it's there.
I want to holler: "Hip-hooray!"
It's a new day!
It's a brand new day!
Thinking over things, my way.
A new day,
It's a brand new day!
And if you care to call
(Or to see me at all),
My new address is on my mind.
I don't care to complain,
Life is sun and champagne,
And everything will be just fine.
It's a new day!
It's a brand new day!
Thinking over things, my way.
A new day,
It's a brand new day!
Who can say just what might happen?
Brand new day!
Thinking over things, my way.
A new day,
It's a brand new day!
Who can say just what might happen?
Brand new day!
Thinking over things, my way.
A new day,
It's a brand new day!
Who can say just what might happen?

[Intro]
Hey, man, dig that crazy chick!
[Chorus]
Who wears short shorts?
We wear short shorts
They're such short shorts
We like short shorts
Who wears short shorts?
We wear short shorts
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Who wears short shorts?
We wear short shorts
They're such short shorts
We like short shorts
Who wears short shorts?
We wear short shorts
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Who wears short shorts?
We wear short shorts
They're such short shorts
We like short shorts
Who wears short shorts?
We wear short shorts

Run Away
04:44
|

Yes I'm gonna mess around
Cause that's the way I want to be
Gonna try to get it down
Before I let it get to me
Don't want your love
Don't need it
That's the way I see it
Oh runaway
You better not hesitate
Better hurry don't wait now
Runaway
Before you find it's too late
Cause you know how love slows you down
And if I should change my mind
If I should want to turn around
You know it won't be hard to find
Find another loving clown
It's best to think what of it
The change you will love it
Oh runaway
You better not hesitate
Better hurry don't wait now
Runaway
Before you find it's too late
Cause you know how love slows you down
No I'll never settle down
Cause I'm just not the settling kind
I got places all over town
I knew just what is on my mind
Just look for those who want it
I should know I've done it
You better run
You better run, run, run away
Better hurry don't wait
You better run
You better run little girl, come on...

Getaway

Get away, let's leave today, let's get away!
So you say you've tried but just can't find the measure
People around you are giving you pressure
Try to resist, all the bad things all around you
If you taste them, they will haunt you
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Ah, get away, let's leave today, let's get away!
What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya know?
Watch all the stars, they lead in the right direction
Not to heed them is a bad reflection
They'll show you the way to what you have been seeking
To ignore them you're only cheating
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land
Why don't you get away? Get away
Lay awake at night till the sun comes up in the morning
Never excited; it all seems boring
Make up your mind which way to go about it
Choose your road, just don't doubt it
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land
I know we can. I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Ah. Get away, let's leave today, let's get away!
Let's leave today, let's get away
