Manchester England..Hair soundtrack

[johnnie]

Because of the thread on soundtrack the other day, I now have to listen to the Hair soundtrack...it's so cool. So I have to post some lyrics....

Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me that's me

Claude Hooper Bukowski
Finds that it's groovy
To hide in a movie
Pretends he's Fellini
And Antonioni
And also his countryman Roman Polanski
All rolled into one
One Claud Hooper Bukowski

Now that I've dropped out
Why is life dreary dreary
Answer my weary query
Timothy Leary dearie

Oh Manchester England England
Across the Atlantic Sea
And I'm a genius genius
I believe in God
And I believe that God
Believes in Claude
That's me (that's he)
That's me (that's he)
That's me (that's he)
That's me

1. Oh, and these too

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Bless you, alcohol bloodstream
Save me, nicotine lung steam

Incense, incense
Is in the air
Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like a sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breath deep, while you sleep
Breath deep

Deep, deep, deep, cough cough

[Madrone]

2. I have the original broadway cast recording on cd -

I know the whole thing by heart. I LOOOOOOOOVE that cd.

4. That's the one I am listening to

My parents went to see it when it was out. I wish i could have went.

7. I got in trouble in grammar school for bringing that record to Show&Tell

8. Me, too!

I grew up with the Broadway record playing all the time in my house; I know it inside and out. I recently got the new version of it where they added some of the songs that were dropped from the original Broadway record and it was so neat to hear them. There are so many favorite songs on there that I don't even know where to begin.

3. Sodomy...

fellatio
cunnilungus
pederasty
father - why do these words sound so nasty...

5. We used to listen to this when I was a kid

We sang the songs and had no idea what the hell we were singing.

6. I remember a skinny (!) Nell Carter singing this in the movie: White Boys!

White Boys Lyrics

White boys are so pretty
Skin as smooth as milk
White boys are so pretty
Hair like Chinese silk

White boys give me goose bumps
White boys give me chills
When they touch my shoulder
That's the touch that kills

Well, my momma calls 'em lilies
I call 'em Piccadillies
My daddy warns me stay away
I say come on out and play

White boys are so groovy
White boys are so tough
Every time that they're near me
I just can't get enough

White boys are so pretty
White boys are so sweet
White boys drive me crazy
Drive me indiscreet

White boys are so sexy
Legs so long and lean
Love those sprayed-on trousers
Love the love machine

My brother calls 'em rubble
That's my kind of trouble
My daddy warns me "no no no"
But I say "White boys go go go"

White boys are so lovely
Beautiful as girls
I love to run my fingers
And toes through all their curls

Give me a tall
A lean
A sexy
A sweet
A pretty
A juicy
White boy

Black boys!
White boys!
Black boys!
White boys!
