My name is James
That's what mother called me
My name is James
So it's always been

Sometimes I forget
When I'm lonely or afraid
And I'll go inside my head
And look for James

There's a city that I dreamed of
Very far from here
Very very far away from here
Very far away

There are people in the city
And they're kind to me
But it's very very far away, you know
Very far...

They'll say James, James, James, how are ya?
Isn't it a lovely day?
James, James, James
We're so glad you came here where we are
From so very very very far

My name is James, James, James

Bright lights, big city
That's where we gotta go
Where the food is great and the bugs are so pretty
I'd like to get my arms around a hundred or so
I'd hug 'em, squeeze 'em, hold 'em tight
Sleep all day, dance all night
I want the bright lights and the big city
That's the life for me, yeah
That's the life for...

You little maggot
Have you never seen the moon
Gliding 'cross the western sky
A dead oak tree by the waterside
Putrid vapors rising

That sounds lovely, dear
I'm sure we all agree
But I prefer the sunshine
A little park right in the center of the town
Flowers everywhere, children all around me
I'd love it!
Landing on a baby's cheek so warm
It's wonderful, wonderful
That's the life for me
That's the life for me
That's the life, that's the life for me

Elegant conversation
(Bright lights, big city)
An elevated point of view
(That's where I'd go)
Intelluctual stimulation
And someone you love to share it with you

It would be wonderful, wonderful
That's the life for me
That's the life for me
That's the life
That's the life
That's the life
That's the life for...

I've eaten many strange and scrumptious dishes in my time
Like jellied bugs and curried slugs and earwigs cooked in slime
And mice with rice is very nice
When they're roasted in their prime
But don't forget to sprinkle them with just a pinch of grime

I'm crazy 'bout mosquitos on a piece of buttered toast
And pickled spines of porcupines
And then a great big roast
And dragon's flesh, quite old, not fresh
It costs a buck at most
It comes to you in barrels if you order it by post
(It comes to you in barrels if you order it by post)

For dinner on my birthday shall I tell you what I chose?
Hot noodles made of poodles on a slice of garden hose
And a rather smelly jelly
Made of armadillo's toes
The jelly is delicious, but you have to hold your nose

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach
Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach

I crave the tasty tentacles of octopi for tea
I like hot dogs, but I love hot frogs
And surely you'll agree
A plate of soil with engine oil's a super recipe
(Recipe)
I hardly need to mention that it's practically free

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach
Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach
We hardly need to mention that it's practically free

Now comes, my fellow travelers, the burden of my speech
These foods are rare beyond compare
And some right out of reach
But there's no doubt I'd go without
A million plates of each
For one small mite
(One small mite)
One tiny bite
(Tiny bite)
Of this fantastic peach!

Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach
Peach, peach, peach, peach, peach, peach
This fantastic peach!

Take a little time
Just look at where we are
We've come very, very far together
And if I might say so
And if I might say so too
We wouldn't have got anywhere
If it weren't for you, boy

Love is the sweetest thing
Love never comes just when you think it will
Love is the way we feel for you
We're family, we're family, we're family
All of us and you

Think of where we'd be
If we were on our own
(We'd be dead!)
You're what holds us all together
And if I might say so
And if we might say so too
We never could love anyone
As much as we love you

Love is the strangest thing
Love does exactly what it wants to do
Love...
Boy, you know it's true
We're family, we're family, we're family
Me, Me, Me, Me, Me, Me
And you!

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Without you there'd be no us

Love is the sweetest thing
Love does exactly what it wants to do
Love is the way we feel for you
We're family, we're family
We're family
Me and you

That's the life for me
That's the life for me
That's the life for me
That's the life for me
That's the life
That's the life
That's the life
That's the life for me!

Once upon a time there was a vulture and a hog
Living in a house upon a hill
Had this little boy who lived with them
They worked him like a dog
With any luck, they'd have him up there still
Til a magic man with a magic bag
Full of nasty little green things in a funky old rag
He said, "Boy you may not know it, but this here's salvation, you see."
Son, you're going down in history

Good news is blowin' in your window
Good news is knockin' on your door
Good news is comin' round the corner
Good news is rollin' round your floor

Where can all my troubles be?
Must be good news chasin' me
Good enough to set everybody free
Good news, good news, good news
(Good news)

There was bugs in the garden
Didn't have a clue
That everyday their life was on the line
They wanted to get outta there
They didn't know what to do
Their little brains is workin' overtime
That all changed one sunny day
That little boy dropped by to say
We all work together, we make out okay
Good news, good news, good news

Gotta roll down a mountain
Flew over the sea
Facin' death and danger on their way
But together they had made it
There where they wanna be
They love each other more and more each day
They care about each other

Good news is sweepin' cross the country
Good news is spreadin' all around
Good news is hittin' in the city
Good news has sprung up in the town

The things that used to hurt before
They don't hurt 'em anymore
'Cause they know there's something good in store
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)

Good news
Comin' down the chimney
Good news
Knockin' on my door
Good news
Leavin' through the window
Good news
Can't take no more
Good news
Spreadin' all the country
Good news
For the young and old
Good news
Goin' round the world, now
Good news
Too hard to hold back

Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news (Good news)
Good news! (Good news)
