Three Dog Night Album

Instrumental

Git up, ya git down
Ya git lost and then ya get found
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

Ya git a laugh, ya git a cry
Get 'em all before you die
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

Come on, sit down, git down
A-come on, sit down, git down
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

You git the truth, ya git a lie
'nough to make a grown man cry
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

You git the light, you git the dark
Fall in love, it breaks your heart
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

Come on, sit down, git down
A-come on, sit down, git down
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

All the ladies hypnotize you
And all your friends, well they just patronize you
Don't God look forgot? He's just sittin' here
And I think He's got a plan but it's not too clear

Mm-mm-mmm mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mmm mm
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

Mm-mm mm-mm-mmm mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mmm mm
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

Come on, sit down, git down
A-come on, sit down, git down
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

Come on, sit down, git down
A-come on, sit down, git down
Sure as I'm sittin' here
Sure as I'm sittin' here

Come on...

Sitting here in limbo
But I know it won't be long
Sitting here in limbo
Like a bird without a song
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo
Got some time to search my soul
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

I don't know where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
Tried my hand in love and friendship
But all that is past and gone
This little boy is moving on

Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the tide to flow
Oh, I'm sitting here in limbo
Knowing that I have to go
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

Sitting here in limbo
Waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo
I got some time to search my soul
Well they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on

Sitting in limbo, sitting in limbo
Sitting in limbo (sitting, sitting in limbo)
Sitting in limbo (sitting, sitting in limbo)
Waiting for the dice to roll (sitting, sitting in limbo)
Sitting-sitting in limbo
[Repeat and fade]

Once in a while I could look at you
See the twinkle in your eyes
With not a word between us
See you smilin' 'cause you read my mind

Once in a while I could hold you
Not have to say a thing
Though I was giving you all my love
Just by what you were feeling

Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been

Once in a while I could wake up
Find you lyin' there touchin' me, oh, my little girl
Once in a while I could wake up
Find you lyin' there touchin' me

Once in a while twenty years from now
After all that we've been through
I could tell you by one caress
That it's been good bein' loved by you

Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been

Oh, my little girl

Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been
Oh, I'd be so happy
Happier, happier than I've been

Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Well, I started to sweat
She said "Don't get upset 'cause you just might break a string
And that won't do a thing for your show

So I said to myself
I said "Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"
And I gotta have some more, don't ya know

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

It's enough to make it light in the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet

[instrumental break]

Well, I tried to run my game
She said "Man, that's the same old thing I've heard before"
And I'm too tired to go for your show (again and again)

And she started to explain
She said "Man, I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore"

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues

Baby, although I chose this lonely life
It seems it's stranglin' me now
All the wild men, big cigars, gigantic car
They're all laughin' at the lie

Oh, I've been used Ooo-oo-oo-oo
I've been a fool Oh, what a fool
I broke all the rules Oh, yeah
But I must let the show go on

Baby, there's an enormous crowd of people
They're all after my blood
I wish maybe they'd tear down the walls of this theatre
Let me out, let me out

Oh, I'm so blind Oh, I'm blind
I wasted time Wasted, wasted, wasted time
Walkin' on the wire, high wire
But I must let the show go on

[instrumental break]

Oh, I'm so blind Oh, I'm blind
I wasted time Wasted, wasted, all too much time
Walkin' on the wire, high wire
But I must let the show go on

Baby, I wish you'd help me escape
Help me get away
Leave me outside my address
Far away from this masquerade

'Cause I've been blind Oh, so blind
I wasted time Wasted, wasted, all too much time
Walkin' on the wire, high wire
But I must let the show go..
I must let the show go..
I must let the show go on
