CHORUS:
I want to be a Millionnaire
I don’t want to work for the rest of my life
Oh Lord please hear my prayer.
Hey you can trust me I ain’t fussy
I’ll take it all in hundred dollar bills I don’t care
I want to be a Millionaire
The first thing I’d do is give half to the poor
And I’m so poor it’s coming back to me
Then I would take the rest and maybe invest
Or spend it all on little o’l me
CHORUS:
I want to be a Millionnaire
I don’t want to work for the rest of my life
Oh Lord please hear my prayer.
Hey you can trust me I ain’t fussy
I’ll take it all in hundred dollar bills I don’t care
I want to be a Millionaire
Lord when you think of me, think lottery
I could use a little change a career
Casinos, bingos, pesos amigos
As long as the buck stops here..
CHORUS:
I want to be a Millionnaire
I don’t want to work for the rest of my life
Oh Lord please hear my prayer.
Hey you can trust me I ain’t fussy
I’ll take it all in hundred (thousand)dollar bills I don’t care
I want to be a Millionaire
Money.....in the bank..
Give me some money....
Man that’s a lot of money Chuckie.....

Times Are Changing

Kids are getting restless
People are wondering why
The future don’t look so bright to them.
It’s time to take the children
And tell them we believe
And make them feel alive again.
Chorus:
Times are changing
Times are tough
Times are changing
Times are rough
And I believe we’ve all had enough
But now, we need a little more love!
Women don’t feel the love anymore
People wonder why
It’s time to take a close look at what’s wrong.
And the menfolk they don’t feel much better
They just sit and stare
Sometimes they don’t feel they belong.
Chorus:

Before I Get Over You

Whenever I hold you, I ask myself have I told you.
That you mean everything, everything to me.
Whenever I kiss you, I think how much I’ll miss you.
Cause you were everything, everything to me.
CHORUS:
And when I took you dancing, we were out there romancing,
You ‘bout drove me out of my mind.
Now you tell me you’re leaving, you’re gonna go.
It’s gonna be a long time before I can get over you.
You once were my lady, and I never said maybe.
Cause you were everything, everything to me.
But you’re not mine anymore, since you left and slammed the door,
Yeah you were everything, everything to me.
CHORUS:
And when I took you dancing, we were out there romancing,
You ‘bout drove me out of my mind.
Now you tell me you’re leaving, you’re gonna go.
It’s gonna be a long time before I can get over you (X 2)

El Paso

Out in the West-Texas town of El Paso,
I fell in love with a Mexican girl.
Nighttime would find me in Rosa’s Cantina,
Music would play and Falina would whirl.
Blacker than night were the eyes of Falina,
Wicked and evil while casting a spell.
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden,
I was in love but in vain I could tell.
One night a wild young cowboy came in,
Wild as the West-Texas wind....
Dashing and daring the drink he was sharing
With wicked Falina the girl that I love.
So in anger I challenged my right for the love of this maiden,
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore.
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat,
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor.
Out through the back door of Rosa’s I ran,
Out where the horses were tied.
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run,
Up on it’s back and away I did ride,
Just as fast as I could, from the West-Texas town of El Paso,
Out to the badlands of New Mexico.
Back in El Paso my life would be worthless,
Everything’s gone in life, nothing is left.
It’s been so long since I seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death.
I saddled up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow a bullet may find me
Tonight nothing’s worse than this pain in my heart.
And at last here I am on the hill overlooking El Paso
I can see Rosa’s Cantina below.
My love is strong and it pushes me onward,
Down off the hill to Falina’s I go.
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys.
Off to my left ride a dozen or more.
Shouting and shooting I can’t let them catch me,
I have to make it to Rosa’s backdoor.
Something is dreadfully wrong for I feel,
A deep burnin’ pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle,
I’m getting weary unable to ride.
But my love for Falina is strong and I rise without fallin’
Though I am weary I can’t stop to rest
I see the white puff the smoke of the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest.
From out of nowhere Falina has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that I died for
One little kiss..... and Falina.... good-bye.....
