So true - funny how it seems always in time
But never in line for dreams.
Head over heels
when toe to toe -
This is the sound of my soul
this is the sound.
I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again.
Why do I find it hard to write the next line?
Oh
I want the truth to be said.
I know this much is true
I know tkis much is true.
With a thrill in my head and a pill on my tongue
Dissolve the nerves that have just begun.
Listening to Manrin all night long -
This is the sound of my soul
this is the sound.
Always slipping from my hands
sand's a time of it's own.
Take your seaside arms and write the next line
Oh
I want the truth to be known.
I know this much is true
I know this much is true
I bought a ticket to the world but now I've come back again. . ..
This much is true. this much is true
this much is true
....Well not to long ago in nineteen forty-four
When every mother's son was goin' off to war
They had to lift they spirits high (High!)
For Uncle Sam, motherhood and apple pie
Instead of spendin' money that they didn't have
In hot spot in the Bronx
They went to hear the kinD of jazz
You hear in funky honky-tonks
It made you wanna
Jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies
you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music
the piano man was playin'
You could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie
if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat
of a piano man who's goin' to town
It had the kind of rhythm that would fill the hall
The plinkin' and the plunkin' drove 'em up the wall
Then they would dance and drink their gin
And when the fuzz buzzed they'd join in
So everybody partied 'till the cows came home
'Cause that's what boogie's for
And every night that dump would jump
And keep 'em comin' back for more
Because it made you wanna
Jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
If you had the heebie-jeebies
you could dance away
To the boogie-woogie music
the piano man was playin'
You could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie if you felt low down
With the boogie-woogie beat
of a piano man who's goin' to town
It made you wanna Jump, shout
(Foo-der-acka-sacki)
Wanna jump, shout
(Slip the talcum to me Malcom)
You wanna jump, shout
(Floy-doy, floy-doy)
To the boogie-woogie music
the piano man was playin'
And you could jump, shout, knock yourself out
Boogie-woogie beat is what I'm talkin' about
You could pull a switcheroonie
