You have a few question marks where you don’t understand what they sing. Here are the lyrics, and you can also see them singing the song here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HoCgtBLars&feature=related Roger Wimmer Lakewood, CO Will you be staying after Sunday? Don't let a lonely Monday come again. Will you be staying after Sunday or go home on Monday? Will you be staying after Sunday or go home? Your lips are warm on Friday night The next two days you hold me tight. But when it's done, you always run, and I'm alone. Will you be staying after Sunday or go home on Monday? I'll keep waiting for that one day you'll be mine. I'd give the world to keep you here Why do you need to disappear? And when I press you do your best to stall for time. I wouldn't try to own your soul You can be free. I only want you here each night loving me. Will you be staying after Sunday or go home on Monday? We gotta let this feeling grow or let it end. You say you care well if you do Don't ever go I'm begging you. Don't let a lonely Monday come again Will you be staying after Sunday or go home on Monday? Will you be staying after Sunday or go home on Monday? Will you be staying after Sunday or go home on Monday? Will you be staying after Sunday or go home on Monday? Will you be staying after Sunday or go home on Monday? (fade out) Arizona I'm not sure how to go about submitting revisions to the lyrics, but I noticed that you were the original contributor. I thought I'd help with what little I can figure out. The second line should be "Posting a poster of Poncho and Cisco one California day..." and refers to Poncho Villa and the Cisco Kid. Not sure about this one, but I think the first two lines of the second verse should be: "Strip off your pride your acting like a teeny-bopper run away child... And strip off the paint from the face of a little town saint..." Like you, I stil can't figure out the lines in the final verse. - Mark meransom@yahoo.com Here is from DevilWo@aol.com She must belong to San Francisco she must have lost her way (Post it up ponchoed from old Francisco ??) one California day postin a poster of poncho and cisco one california day Strip off your pride your acting like a teeny-bopper run away shy Strip off your pride your acting like a teeny-bopper run away child Strip off the paint from the face of a little child saint Strip off the paint from the face of a little town saint Follow me up to San Francisco (I wouldn't get your way ??) Follow me up to San Francisco I will be guiding your way You can believe in Robin Hood and brotherhood and (go to the ball in my hay??) and rolling a ball in the hay But (I would be reading you an Aesop's fable ??) and (I would be reading you an Aesop's fable ??) Mind Excursion The opening two lines are: Sit your self down And think of what you’d like to do today I hope this helps SBOYMEL@aol.com Also ronnieazak@yahoo.com Sit yourself down ------------------------------ and think of what you'd like to do today Then take a look around And if the sky kind of looks a little grey Just take a look out a dream just take a hook on a dream Watch your cares will stop running Your smile won't stop coming when you Take a mind excursion It's just a slight diversion You can come out a winner In a bullfight in Spain (Take some face like dimension (??) Paint your face like an injun Dance with some rain Get on your magic carpet Cause nothing can stop it No-- Open up your eyes Excitement would like to be your friend Try it on for size It may lead you to the rainbow's end You got a ticket to fly And while the sun's getting brighter Your head's getting lighter when you Take a mind excursion It's just a slight diversion You may drive out your window In your own private car Watch the whole world go rolling >From the top of a star Get on your magic carpet Cause nothing can stop it Oh-- Take a mind excursion It's just a slight diversion You can Take a mind excursion It's just a slight diversion (fadeout) ken.g@miami.edu Also Sit yourself down, And think of what you'd like to do today Then take a look around, And if the sky kind of looks a little gray Just take the hook on a dream Throw on your Keds, start runnin' Your smile won't stop comin' when you Take a mind excursion, it's Just a slight diversion You may come out a winner In a bullfight in Spain, Paint your face like an Injun, Dance for some rain Get on your magic carpet 'Cause nothing can stop it ...... The remainder of lyrics seem to be correct, from my memory. Hope this is helpful. Rnoedc@aol.com Baby Let's Wait That's pretty good ... closer than I ever got! Smile. My vinyl copy of the song is no longer fit to play, which grieves me, but here's what I've always heard right before the Royals segue into the chorus for the seond time: "Victims of poverty". Wonder what you think of that ... Seriously, thanks for allowing me to sing along with this wonderful, underrated tune and not be wildly off base! Sincerely, Lacey C. Goodwin Kingston, Massachusetts. lacekitten@adelphia.net Tom: I took what I saw posted on the Internet and corrected it. I'm pretty sure this is correct. Mike Dr. Michael W. Ecker You say you'll always be proud of me. Well, I'm gonna see that you do, baby. I'll be nobody, nothin', If I do would you want me to, yeah. Millions now struggle by anyway, anyhow. Living in misery, is that how you want it to be? No, baby let's wait. No, baby let's wait. We've got time. You said you'd always be needin' me. Well, I'm gonna see that you do, baby. I'll be somebody, something, If you wait, baby, I promise you, yeah. Cause I got my pride. Our kid's gonna hold his head up high. Nothin' like you and me. Victim of poverty!

No, baby let's wait No, baby let's wait No, baby let's wait ... ====================================== (Note: I wrote "kid's" because it means "our kid is"...) DrMWEcker@aol.com I also recall someone emailed Ginger Bread line as not "Along comes your mother and we..." but "How long does your mother think we'll wait...", but I don't know who. Here is "Don't Think Twice" from Mike Levand. Correct Version: When the Rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window babe and I'll be gone Your version: And the rooster crows at the break of dawn Flap your wings and baby I'll be gone CV: It ain't no use in turnin' on your lights babe The light I never knowed No, it ain't no uses in turnin' on your lights babe I'm on the dark side of the road YV: Ain't no use in telling all your lies babe, The like I've never known Ain't no use in telling all your lies babe -unintelligible- CV: But goodbye's too good a word to say girl So I'll just say 'fare thee well' YV: But good-bye is too good a word to say girl So let's just say...........unintelliglble.......
