Lyrics for 3/2/2026 at Congregation Adath Jeshurun
There's nothing you can do that can't be done
Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
Nothing you can say
But you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
Nothing you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothing you can do
But you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
Nothing you can know that isn't known
Nothing you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be
That isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy
All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love (all together now!)
All you need is love (everybody!)
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
Love is all you need (love is all you need)
Love is all you need (love is all you need)…
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they're forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
How many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?
How many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Da-doo-ron-ron...
There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin'
Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin'
'Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
She looked good (Looked good)
She looked fine (Looked fine)
She looked good, she looked fine
And I nearly lost my mind
Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me, singin'
'Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be, singin'
'Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
We walked on (Walked on) To my door (My door)
We walked on to my door
Then we kissed a little more
Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love
Yes, I did, And so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of
Now we're together nearly every single day, singin'
'Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
A-we're so happy, and that's how we're gonna stay, singin'
'Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do
Well, I'm hers (I'm hers) She's mine (She's mine)
I'm hers, she's mine
Wedding bells are gonna chime

Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Rooster hits the washboard, and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poor Boy twangs the rhythm out on his Kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
You don't need a penny just to hang around
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner, there's a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet [REPEAT X4]
I hear the train a-coming, it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a-rollin' on down to San Antone
When I was just a baby, my Mama told me 'Son,
always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns.'
But I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die
when I hear that whistle blowin' I hang my head and cry
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I bet there's rich folks eatin' in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinking coffee and smoking big cigars
Well, I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a moving, and that's what tortures me
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Well, if they freed me from this prison, if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line
Far from Folsom Prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away
Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
CHORUS:
Come on, people now
Sisters and brothers
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now X2
Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
CHORUS X2
[INSTRUMENTAL]
CHORUS X2
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
CHORUS X3
Right now
Right now
Imagine me and you, I do
I think about you day and night, it’s only right
To think about the girl you love, and hold her tight
So happy together
If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to me, and ease my mind
Imagine how the world would be, so very fine
So happy together
I can't see me lovin’ nobody but you, for all my life
When you’re with me baby, the skies will be blue for all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together.
I can't see me lovin’ nobody but you, for all my life
When you’re with me baby, the skies will be blue for all my life
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together.
Baaa baaa bababa bababa baa, ba ba ba baaa
Baaa baba bababa bababa baa, ba ba ba baaaaaaaaa
Me and you, and you and me
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together, oo oo oo oo
So happy together, oo oo oo oo
How is the weather? (ba ba ba ba)
So happy together, (ba ba ba ba)
We're happy together, (ba ba ba ba)
So happy together, (ba ba ba ba)
Happy together, (ba ba ba ba)
So happy together, (ba ba ba ba)
So happy together
Help! I need somebody
(Help) Not just anybody
(Help) You know I need someone
(Help)
When I was younger (when I was younger), so much younger than today (I never need)
I never needed anybody's help in any way (now these days are gone)
But now these days are gone (these days are gone), I'm not so self-assured (and now I find)
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
(My independ-) my independence seems to vanish in the haze
(But every now and then) but every now and then I feel so insecure
(I know that I) I know that I just need you like I've never done before
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?
When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
(Now these days are gone) but now these days are gone, I'm not so self-assured
(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate your being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please, help me?
Help me, help me, ooh
Next time you’re found with your chin on the ground
There’s a lot be learned, just look around
Just what makes that little old ant
Think he'll move that rubber tree plant
Anyone knows an ant, can't
Move a rubber tree plant
But he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes
He's got high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So an-y time you're gettin' low
'stead of lettin' go
Just remember that ant
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree
Oops there goes another rubber tree plant
When troubles call and your back’s to the wall
There’s a lot be learned, that wall could fall
Once there was a silly old ram
Thought he could punch a hole in a dam
No one could make that ram scram
He kept buttin‘ that dam
Cause he had high hopes, he had high hopes
He had high apple pie, in the sky hopes
So an-y time you're feelin' bad
'stead of feelin' sad
Just remember that ram
Oops there goes a billion kilowatt dam
Oops there goes another kilowatt
Oops there goes another kilowatt dam
A problem’s just a toy balloon
They’ll be bursting soon
They’re just bound to go pop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Oops there goes another problem kerplop
Ker-plop!
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
Then I saw her face,
now I'm a believer
Not a trace
of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, (ooooh, ah yeah)
I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.
I thought love was more or less a given thing,
Seems the more I gave the less I got.
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine I got rain.
Then I saw her face,
now I'm a believer.
Not a trace
of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love, (ooooh, ah yeah)
I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried.
[INSTRUMENTAL]

Said I'm a believer
I'm a believer
Said I'm a believer (I'm a believer)
Said I'm a believer (I'm a believer)
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'…
[CHORUS]
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls, now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
And make sweet love to you – sing it now
CHORUS
[INSTRUMENTAL]
You know I love the ladies
I love to have my fun
I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
I said, a straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
CHORUS x2
Joy…........ to the world
All…........ the boys and girls
Joy…........ to the world
Joy….........to you and me

Trailers for sale or rent,
Rooms to let fifty cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets.
I ain't got no cigarettes.
Ah, but...two hours of pushin' broom,
Buys an...eight-by-twelve four-bit room.
I'm a man of means by no means,
King of the road.
Third boxcar, midnight train,
Destination Bangor, Maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes,
I don't pay no union dues.
I smoke...old stogies I have found,
Short, but not too big around.
I'm a man of means by no means,
King of the road.
I know...every engineer on every train,
All their children, 'n all of their names,
And...every handout in every town,
And...every lock that ain't locked when no one's around.
I sing...trailers for sale or rent,
Rooms to let, fifty cents,
No phone, no pool, no pets.
I ain't got no cigarettes.
Ah, but...two hours of pushin' broom,
Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room.
I'm a...man of means by no means,
King of the road.

I'm a...man of means by no means,
King of the road.
King of the road.
King of the road.

These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up
In a city that doesn't sleep
And find I'm king of the hill
Top of the heap
These little-town blues
Are melting away

In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you
New York, New York
New York, New York

That never sleeps
And find I'm A number one

In old New York
And if I can make it there

All the world over, so easy to see,
people everywhere just wanna be free.
Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be.
peace in the valley, people got to be free.
You should see, what a lovely, lovely world this would be,
if everyone learned to live together.
It seems to me, such an easy, easy, thing this should be.
Why can't you and me, learn to love one another?
All the world over, so easy to see,
people everywhere just wanna be free. (wanna be free)
I can't understand it, so simple to me,
People everywhere just got to be free.
If there's a man who is down, and needs a helping hand,
all it takes is you to understand, and to see him through.
Seems to me, we got to solve it individually.
And I'll do unto you, what you do to me. Said no no no
There'll be shoutin' from the mountains, on out to sea.
No two ways about it, people have to be free. Got to be free
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be, uh huh
it's a natural situation for a man to be free.
Oh, what a feelin's just come over me,
Enough to move a mountain, make a blind man see.
Everybody, sing it now, come on, let's go see,
peace in the valley, now we ought to be free
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have [if you got] no money
People on the river are happy to give
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Ohh, But The Fire Went Wild
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire
The ring of fire
The ring of fire

Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along?
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I…
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you?
One, touchin' one
Reachin' out, touchin' me, touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would, Oh no, no
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
Sweet Caroline
I believe they never could
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good

I know a cat named Way Out Willie
He's got a cool little chick named Rockin' Millie
He can walk and stroll and Susie Q
And do that crazy hand jive too
Papa told Willie, you'll ruin my home
You and that hand jive have got to go

They're doin' the hand jive all over town
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive

When he did that hand jive with his feet
Hand jive, hand jive, hand jive, doin' that crazy hand jive
Willie and Millie got married last fall
They had a little Willie Junior, and a-that ain't all
You know, the baby got famous in his crib, you see

[CHORUS]
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice
And then the witch doctor, he gave me this advice
He said that
CHORUS
You've been keeping love from me just like you were a miser
And I'll admit I wasn't very smart
So I went out and found myself a guy that's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you
CHORUS
You've been keeping love from me just like you were a miser
And I'll admit I wasn't very smart
So I went out and found myself a guy that's so much wiser
And he taught me the way to win your heart
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say
My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you
Oh, baby
CHORUS x3
What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away?
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day?
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)
No I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
(Do you need anybody?)
I need somebody to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love
(Would you believe in a love at first sight?)
Yes I'm certain that it happens all the time
(What do you see when you turn out the light?)
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm I get high with a little help from my friends
Oh I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
(Do you need anybody?)
I just need someone to love
(Could it be anybody?)
I want somebody to love
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm gonna try with a little help from my friends
Oh I get high with a little help from my friends
Yes I get by with a little help from my friends
With a little help from my friends
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found the sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine
[CHORUS]
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
[INSTRUMENTAL]
CHORUS
As we live a life of ease (a life of ease)
Every one of us (every one of us)
Has all we need (has all we need)
Sky of blue (sky of blue)
And sea of green (sea of green)
In our yellow (in our yellow)
Submarine (submarine, ah-ha!)
CHORUS X3
Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh I believe in yesterday
Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday
Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh I believe in yesterday
