Have you seen what's happened lately
Not much time is left to go
Children of this generation
Changing faster than they grow
Watch out all you children
Close your ears and hide your eyes
Don’t be stiffened by the rust that
Sets you living pre-planned lives
Look around the world we've fashioned
Built it up so you could take
Modern ways to make you happy
But you don’t appreciate
Watch out all you children
Close your ears and hide your eyes
Don’t be stiffened by the rust that
Sets you living pre-planned lives
I hope you know where you're going
The road sign points at nowhere
The drums of flames surround you
Rivers of age can drown you
Oh
How can we be proud and trusting
When you throw your lives away
Never think about the future
How could you have gone astray
Watch out all you children
Close your ears and hide your eyes
Don’t be stiffened by the rust that
Sets you living pre-planned lives
Have you seen what's happened lately
Not much time is left to go (Have you seen what's happened lately)

Ah ah ah-ah-ah ah

nothing can stop the elephants
[Go to Song Page]
Something’s there in the fire escape
It’s not working anymore
Something’s on my mind
Never there before
I gotta know
I gotta go
I gotta see
What’s after me
Down the streets and alley ways
Now they’re hiding in the fog
Something’s on my mind
Now it’s getting dark
I gotta know
I gotta go
I gotta see
What’s after me
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Ah ah
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Nothing can stop the elephants
Ah ah
Nothing can stop the elephants
Something’s there in the fire escape (fire escape)
It’s not working anymore

opposite me
[Go to Song Page]
Opposite me
I try to be
I'll be just what I'm not
I made the change in less than a week
Without a single thought in my mind
Now I've made the
Transition from yellow to gold
I guess I'll change back
When I start getting old
Next year's in is still going out
It all confuses me
I wish we had a list of events
To predict conformity
So that I could be
Here when it happens
And there when it starts
Knowing what's music
And knowing what's art
Change your face and I'll change my mind
Changes, changes
Wait too long and be left behind
Changes, changes
This year's toys are still going [still going is the lyric as transcribed by Larry - I can't work out what Gene actually sings though]
And fashion's on the run
And Mister Jones is buying a hat
His wife will get a gun
To keep up with the
Romance of living
The trial of trend
Follow the leader
To find a quick end
Change your face and I'll change my mind
Changes, changes (Yeah he-ah-oh-uh)
Wait too long, you'll be left behind
Changes, changes
Well let's see you all (Changes changes)
Keep up with Mister Change
Yeah yeah eh eh (Changes changes)
Ah Mister Change, let's see ya
(Changes changes) Come on
Now keep up now (Changes changes)
Yeah-eh-eh-eh

we need a whole lot more of jesus
[Go to Song Page]
Let us all stand for this [Spoken]
You can read it in the morning papers
Hear it on the radio
How crime is a-sweeping our nation
This world is about to go
We need a good old case of salvation
To keep the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need more old fashioned preachers
Pouring out their hearts in prayer
'Cause when you’re in their presence
Why you know that the Lord is there
Hallelujah, brethren (Hallelujah reverend)
We need a nationwide revival
To keep the love of God in our souls
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
We need a whole lot more of Jesus
And a lot less rock and roll
Amen
Will you all be seated now? [Spoken]

giant man
[Go to Song Page]
A man's got to feel like a man
And that's up to woman
Can do as well as any man can
But she's got to show him
Give him confidence and love
I want you to know
That my love just overflows
When you do all you can
To make me feel like a giant man
A woman's got to follow her man
And stay right there beside him
He'll do all that he can
To let her hide behind him
From the dangers of the world
I want you to know
That my love just overflows
When you do all you can (Ooh aah)
To make me feel like a giant man
Yeh heah

she's a dancer
[Go to Song Page]
She’s a dancer in the garden (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
And she dances with the flowers (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the early morning hours (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
When the wind shifts (Ooh-ooh)
And the fog drifts (Ooh-ooh)
She’s a dancer
She’s a dancer and she knows it (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Everywhere she goes she shows it (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Condescending (Ooh-ooh)
Not pretending (Ooh-ooh)
No regretting (Ooh-ooh)
No forgetting (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
She’s a dancer
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that I’m looking at the paper
Oh
And when people stop to watch her (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
She pretends she doesn’t see them (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Doesn’t need them (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And where she goes
There the wind blows (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Though it’s only with the flowers (Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
That she dances
And on my early morning walks I often find her
I sit pretending that I’m looking at the paper
She’s a dancer in the garden (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
And she dances with the flowers (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
In the early morning hours (Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
When the wind shifts (Ooh-ooh)

Happy days are here again
The skies above are blue again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Let's laugh and be happy
Ah ha ha ha ha

See I'm glad you called
Learn to enjoy whatever you do
And you will be happy, healthy and prosper
Thanks for calling
Yes it's me again, Ben
(Think) About the good things
(Think think) About the bad things
(Think think) About the right things
(Think think) About the wrong things
Baby before you leave me you'll realise I'm the one who loves you
Think of all the sacrifices that I made for you
Think of all the hard times that I spent with you
Think of all the good things that I did for you
Think of all the bad things I tried not to do
Ah c'mon children and

Baby before you leave me you'll realise I'm the one who loves you
I must have won your happiness, do I have to claim
A man affairs a few share of which I was to blame
[The correct lyric is How many tears have you shed for which I was to blame, but Gene sang it exactly as he heard it on the original recording]
Lord I can't remember just what it was now
I tried so hard to please you baby, least that's what I thought
Ah c'mon children and
(Think) About the good things
(Think think) About the bad things
(Think think) About the right things

[Go to Song Page]
I know a girl who lives on apple cider
On a hot summer's day I know where to find her
Sitting in the shade with that cool apple cider
Oh you've got it made with that cool apple cider
Look at her face, the glow of apple cider
And I know a place, huh, where I can get some cider
Sitting in the shade with that cool apple cider
Oh you've got it made with that cool apple cider
You've gotta give me some
Uh give me some, aooow
Uh give me some, yeeaaa
Give me some apple cider
I know a girl who lives on apple cider
On a hot summer's day I know where to find her
Sitting in the shade with that cool apple cider
Oh you've got it made with that cool apple cider
I know a girl who lives on apple cider
On a hot summer's day I know where to find her
Sitting in the shade with that cool apple cider
Oh you've got it made with that cool apple cider
Look at her face, the glow of apple cider
And I know a place, huh, where I can get some cider
Sitting in the shade with that cool apple cider
