carl douglas - kung fu fighting
Oh-oh-oh-oh...
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky China men from funky Chinatown
They were trapping when up, they were trapping when
down
It's an ancient Chinese art,
and everybody knew their part
For my friend, ain't you a stiff,
then I'm kickin' from the hip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning
But they fought with expert timing
There was funky Billie Jim and little Sammy John
He said, here comes the big boss, let's get it on
We took the bow and made a stand,
started swaying with the hand
A sudden motion made me stiff,
now we're into a brand new trip
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning
But they did it with expert timing
Oh-oh-oh-oh...
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting
those kids were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit fright'ning
make sure you have expert timing
Kung Fu fighting
had to be fast as lightning...

carl douglas - never had this dream before
No, no, baby
No, no
In my time
I been a poet
An angel of mercy
That you won't forget
I was a boatman
People came to see
But in all my travels, baby
No one's been what you've been to me
'Cause I've never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
No, no, babe
Never had this dream before
No, no
I was down
A heavy loser
Walking in circles
Looking for a shangri-la
But when I met you
My soul began to breathe
You gave me my direction
I'll go anywhere you lead
'Cause I've never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
Never had this dream before
No, no, baby
Never had this dream before

Close your eyes and go to sleep, yeah
Me and you, we're just a pile of sheep
Never had this dream before
No, no, baby
Never had this dream before

One more time
carl douglas - changing times
Ooh, lord
MM, mm, mm, mm
Uh-uh, yeah
Let me talk to you
There's a change I made this morning
I was obliged to use my mind
The folks that surround me made me feel
I was being on time
But the sunshine through the window
It put a change on things, my dear
But that's by, and I'm ready
But I found out I was a-hidden nowhere
I kept thinking 'bout the timev
(the good times, good times)
Oh baby (the good times, good times)
I kept on thinking 'bout the time
(the good times, good times)
Yes, I did (the good times, good times)
Uh
Change my stroke, yeah
Whoo, yeah
Girl, it ain't no
Come the postman, delivered your letter
But what's in a letter anyway?
You thought I was leavin'
So you decide you're going away
But in the letter, you spoke with freedom
And everything you said was free
My mind's cleared, can you hear me?
Get on hold, yeah, you belong to me
I kept thinking 'bout the time
(I kept a-right on thinking, baby)
Yes, I did (I kept a-right on thinking)
Kept thinking about the time
(I kept a-right on thinking, baby)
(I kept a-right on thinking)
Oh, lord
I had to change my stroke
Girl, without you
Girl, it ain't no joke
I kept thinking about the time
(the good times, good times)
Hah, yes, I did (the good times, good times)
I kept on thinking about the time
(I kept a-right on thinking, baby)
Hey (I kept a-right on thinking)
Get up
No
