Shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em up, shake 'em
Roll 'em in a circle of homies and watch me break ‘em with the seven
7-11, 7-11, seven, even back door Little Joe
I picked up the cash flow
Then we played bones, and I’m yellin’, “Domino”
Plus, nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A.
Today was a good day

And Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon’s Bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival, it seems, had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy
Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy
She would never say where she came from
Yesterday don’t matter if it’s gone
While the sun is bright or in the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes

Come, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down
Sunlight on your skin when I’m not around
Shit don’t feel the same when you’re out of town (oh-oh, oh-oh)
So come, let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Rain keeps fallin’, tears keep fallin’
Rain keeps fallin’, tears keep fallin’
Darlin’, your love is like walking a bed of nails
And I just can’t keep on fightin’
Oh, oh, oh

California love
California knows how to party
California knows how to party
In the city of L.A.
In the city of good ol’ Watts
In the city, the city of Compton
We keep it rockin’, we keep it rockin’

Whispering voices in my head
Sounds like they’re calling my name

Way out west, they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire’s joe and
They call the wind Marīa
Oh no, Marīa blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a flying
Marīa makes the mountain sounds
Like folks were up there dying
Marīa, Marīa, they call the wind Marīa

Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past?
And with this crutch
Its old age and its wisdom
It whispers, “No, this will be the last”
And the wind cries
“Mary”

Who’s peekin’ out from under a stairway
Calling a name that’s lighter than air
Who’s bending down to give me a rainbow
Everyone knows it’s Windy
Who’s tripping down the streets of the city
Smilin’ at everybody she sees
Who’s reachin’ out to capture a moment
Everyone knows it’s Windy

Kiss me extra tender
Hold me extra tight
‘Cause I’m savin’ your sweetness
For a lonely night, aye
Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye
No more teardrops
Now that I’ve found a love so true
I got a pocketful of rainbows
Got an armful of you

Someday we’ll find it
The rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Dreams can come true
Look at me, babe, I’m with you
You know you got to have hope
You know you got to be strong

Look at me, babe, I’m with you
You know you got to have hope
You know you got to be strong

And have you any dreams you’d like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had
Ooh, what you lost

@Matt Now that’s my cultural song. Saw the movie so many times. Had album and cd.
@SinceIAwoke thank you for the great
Mem’ries may be beautiful and yet
What’s too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it’s the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember the way we were
The way we were

… I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it coming to me
But I wanted it that way
… I think that any loving’s good loving
So I took what I could get, mmm, ooh-ooh
She looked at me with big brown eyes
And said
… “You ain’t seen nothing yet
B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-n-nothing yet
Here’s somethin’ that you’re never gonna forget
B-b-b-baby, you just ain’t seen n-n-n-nothing yet
Nothing yet, you ain’t been around” (that’s what she told me)
… And now I’m feeling better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me of a cure
… He said that any love is good love
So I took what I could get, yes, I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with her big brown eyes
And said
… You ain’t seen nothing yet
There were moments of gold
And there were flashes of light
There were things I’d never do again
But then they’d always seemed right
There were nights of endless pleasure
It was more than any laws allow
Baby, baby
If I kiss you like this
And if you whisper like that
It was lost long ago, but it’s all coming back to me
If you want me like this
And if you need me like that
It was dead long ago, but it’s all coming back to me
It’s so hard to resist, and it’s all coming back to me
I can barely recall, but it’s all coming back to me now
But it’s all coming back
