     LONG MAY YOU RUN 
     ---------------- 
     We've been through some things together 
     With trunks of memories still to come 
     We found things to do in stormy weather 
     Long may you run.  
      
     Long may you run.  
     Long may you run. 
     Although these changes have come 
     With your chrome heart shining in the sun 
     Long may you run. 
      
     Well, it was back in Blind River in 1962 
     When I last saw you alive 
     But we missed that shift on the long decline 
     Long may you run. 
      
     Long may you run.  
     Long may you run. 
     Although these changes have come 
     With your chrome heart shining in the sun 
     Long may you run. 
      
     Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now 
     With those waves singing "Caroline No" 
     Rollin' down that empty ocean road 
     Gettin' to the surf on time. 
      
     Long may you run.  
     Long may you run. 
     Although these changes have come 
     With your chrome heart shining in the sun 
     Long may you run. 
      
      
     MIDNIGHT ON THE BAY 
     ------------------- 
     It's midnight on the bay 
     And lights are shinin'  
     And the sailboats sway 
     And that cool ocean breeze. 
     Blowin' down through the keys 
     I think I'll call it a day 
     Oh, midnight on the bay. 
     Sure feels good to me. 
      
     What's this I see  
     There's someone comin' 
     Walkin' right up to me 
     She tells me I know your name 
     And if it's all the same 
     I'd like to spend some time. 
     And midnight on the bay 
     Sure feels good to me. 
      
     And now it's midnight on the bay 
     Lights are shinin'  
     On the sailboats that sway 
     In the cool ocean breeze 
     Blowin' down through the keys 
     I think I'll call it a day 
     Oh, midnight on the bay. 
     Sure feels good to me. 
      
      
     OCEAN GIRL 
     ---------- 
     In the jungle land  
     With the sea and the sand 
     Can I meet you there? 
      
     We'll be drinkin' bananas  
     From long tall glasses  
     In the open air. 
      
     Ocean girl  
     Come 'round the world 
     From forgotten shores. 
      
     There'll be music playin'  
     What no words could say 
     When you first get there. 
      
     We'll be lost in a corner  
     That we find in each other 
     There' so much to share. 
      
     Ocean girl  
     Come 'round the world 
     From forgotten shores. 
      
      
     LET IT SHINE 
     ------------ 
     There's a light on over my head, my Lord 
     There's a light on over my head, my Lord 
     Let it shine, let it shine 
     Although it may not be the only one 
     Let it shine, shine, shine 
     Although it may not be the only one. 
      
     There's a moon roof over my head, my Lord 
     And my Lincoln is still the best thing built by Ford 
     Let it roll, let it roll  
     Although it may not be the only one 
     Let me ride, ride, ride, ride, 
     Although I may not be the only one. 
      
     I got religion in the airport, my Lord 
     They caught me waiting on my baggage when I was bored 
     Let them chant, let them chant 
     Although they may not be the only one 
     Let them dance, dance, dance 
     Although they may not be the only one. 
      
     There's a light on over my head, my Lord 
     There's a light on over my head, let it shine 
     Let it shine, let it shine 
     Although it may not be the only one 
     Let me shine, shine, shine, shine 
     Although I may not be the only one. 
      
      
     FONTAINEBLEAU 
     ------------- 
     Who put the palm over my blonde? 
     Who put all the tar on the morning sand? 
     Who took everything from where it once was 
     And put it where it was last seen? 
      
     Fontainebleau, they painted it green 
     Fontainebleau, for the well-to-do 
     At the Fontainebleau. 
      
     There's a palace in the gravy 
     That's holding on and on and on 
     Even after all the blue-haired ladies  
     And the wheelchairs are gone. 
      
     I guess the reason I'm so scared of it 
     Is I stayed there once and I almost fit 
     I left before I got out of it 
     People were drownin' in their own 
      
     Fontainebleau 
     Fontainebleau, was that me? 
     Fontainebleau, well I guess I'll see 
     Fontainebleau. 
      
     Fontainebleau, where the surfer works 
     Fontainebleau, 'til the break of day 
     Fontainebleau, 'cause it takes a shark 
     Fontainebleau, to catch a wave at the Fontainebleau. 
      
      
     EVENING COCONUT 
     --------------- 
     The Statue of Liberty is breathing in the air 
     Atlantis is waiting down below. 
     Late at night, flashing lights are sighted in the air. 
     It's no secret, what everybody knows. 
     It really don't matter much, which way I go. 
     But remember to pull over in the storm. 
      
     Have you seen the evening coconut 
     Bobbing on the bay? 
     Standing on the water's edge of stone 
     Someone there besides you 
     To hear the words you say 
     To show you things your eyes have never known. 
      
     Evening coconut, evening coconut 
     Evening coconut, evening coconut 
     Evening coconut, evening coconut 
     Evening coconut, evening coconut 
     Evening coconut, evening coconut 
      
     The Statue of Liberty is breathing in the air 
     While Atlantis is waiting down below. 
     Late at night, flashing lights are sighted in the air. 
     It's no secret, what everybody knows. 
      
     Evening coconut, evening coconut 
     Evening coconut, evening coconut 
     Evening coconut, evening coconut 
     Evening coconut, evening coconut
