CHORUS:
Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', Oh my darlin', Clementine.
You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine,
Lived a miner forty-niner and his daughter, Clementine.
(CHORUS)
Light she was just like a feather, and her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses sandals were for Clementine.
(CHORUS)
Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine
And she tripped upon a splinter, fell into the foamy brine.
(CHORUS)
Ruby lips upon the water blowing bubbles soft and fine
But, alas, I was no swimmer, dreadful sorry, Clementine.
(CHORUS)
And the miner forty-niner, he began to peak and pine
Thought he oughta join his daughter, dreadful sorry Clementine.
(CHORUS)

Naked gold

It's a simple progression
Nowhere to go
A simple transgression
Movin' slow
Naked gold, have to hold on
Make it go, you're not the only one
Just a touch, thank you very much
Make it go, you're not the only one
From a sun-stained shutter, a grapevine gutter
The bacchanal bushes and the traveling seed
To the far-flung beaches, the hard-won beaches
The carousel seasons and the rickety sea
Naked gold, have to hold on
Make it go, you're not the only one
Just a touch, thank you very much
Make it go, you're not the only one
From a cornhusk thicket, the thornbrush thicket
The goldenrod reaches, the billowing breeze
To the milk-fed suburbs, the silk bed suburbs
The carousel seasons and the traveling seed (there it goes again)
In a rickshaw heyday, the carousel seasons
The icecream evenings, the rickety sea
In a rickshaw heyday, the carousel seasons,
The hard-won beaches, take it from me (oh-hoh)
Naked gold, are you in the fold
Naked gold, I'm not the only one
Naked gold
Naked gold
Make it go, I'm not the only one.

Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Said, "don't miss me, I'll be gone a year"
Said you needed to disappear
I don't know why but it made me laugh
Said, "I think I've seen it in a photograph"
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
You're goin' to Europe to be an au pair
Flying high in the sky
Flying high in the sky
Flying high in the sky
Betcha be back before July
How come honey will you go so far
Plenty of places to go by car
I heard Europe's not so nice
Cars all drive on the same damn side
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the sky
Flying high in the sky
Flying high in the sky
You're goin' to Europe so why can't I
How long honey will you be while
You learn French, it's gonna take your smile
Got your package in the mail
Thank you honey, but they got stale
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
dn chika dn dn chika dn dn . . .
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
dn chika dn chka chika dn dn chika
You're goin' to Europe to be an au pair
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Flying high in the air
Before I'm dead I'm gonna meet you there

Vegetation mat

Hey, did I build this raft
Or am I a monkey adrift on a vegetation mat
Hey, did I tie this knot
Or I got tangled, but it hurts a lot
Hey, did I build this raft
Or am I a monkey adrift on a vegetation mat
Hey, did I set this sail
Or is my flag flappin' in a shiftless gale
Hey,
hey, did I build this raft
Or am I a monkey adrift on a vegetation mat
Ma-a, ma-a, ma-a . . .

I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed off
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed off
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed off, dah, off
Ah, oh-hoh
Huh-huh, huh-hoh
Hoh, uh-hoh
Some
Settle for one time
This could be all the time
Why don't you make it
Self
Settle for one time
You can too
Oh, what do you wanna do?
Can I do for you?
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed off
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed off, dah, off
Ah, oh-hoh
Huh-huh, huh-hoh
Hoh, uh-hoh
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed off
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
I'm closed, I'm closed off
You may see next time
There won't be a next time
You may see next time
There won't be a next, next
You may see next time
There won't be a next time
There won't be a next, next time
I'm closed off, I'm closed off
Don't close me off, don't close me
I'm closed off, I'm closed
Oh-hoh, huh-hoh
Hoh, uh-hoh
Don't close me off, don't close me off
Don't close me off, don't close me off
