it's time to say
goodbye, let me tell you, now

goodnight ladies
ladies goodnight
it's time to say
goodbye

now, all night long
you've been drinking your tequilla
but now you've sucked
your lemon peel dry
so why not get high, high, high and
goodnight ladies
ladies goodnight

goodnight ladies
ah, ladies goodnight
it's time to say
goodbye

goodnight sweet ladies
ah, ladies goodnight
it's time to say
goodbye, bye-bye

ah, we've been together
for the longest time
but now it's time to get high
come on, let's get high, high, high
and goodnight ladies
ladies goodnight

Ladies

oh, i'm still missing my other half
oh, it must be something i did in the past
don't it just make you wanna laugh
it's a lonely saturday night

oh, nobody calls me on the telephone
i put another record on my stereo
but i'm still singing a song of you
it's a lonely saturday night

now, if i was an actor
or a dancer who is glamorous
then, you know
amorous life would soon be mine
but now the tinsel light of star break
is all that's left to applaud my heart break
and eleven o'clock i watch the network news

oh, woh, woh, something tells me
that you're really gone
you said we could be friends
but that's not what's not what i want
ah, anyway, my tv-dinner's almost done
it's a lonely saturday night
i mean to tell you
it's a lonely saturday night
one more word
it's a lonely saturday night

Perfect

just a perfect day

drink sangria in the park

and then later, when it gets dark

we go home

just a perfect day

feed animals in the zoo

then later, a movie, too

and then home

oh, it's such a perfect day

i'm glad i spent it with you

oh, such a perfect day

you just keep me hanging on

Day

just a perfect day

problems all left alone

weekenders on our own

it's such fun

just a perfect day

you made me forget myself

i thought i was someone else

someone good

oh, it's such a perfect day

i'm glad i spent it with you

oh, such a perfect day

you just keep me hanging on

you're going to reap just what you sow

Style

you've got the money, i've got the time

you want your freedom, make your freedom mine

'cause i've got the style it takes

and money is all that it takes

you've got connections, i've got the art

you like my attention and i like your looks

and i have the style it takes

and you know the people it takes

why don't you sit right over there, we'll do a movie portrait

i'll turn the camera on and i won't even be there

a portrait that moves, you look great i think

i'll put the Empire State Building on your wall

for 24 hours glowing on your wall

watch the sun rise above it in your room

wallpaper art, a great view

It Takes

i've got a Brillo box and i say it's art

it's the same one you can buy at any supermarket

'cause i've got the style it takes

and you've got the people it takes

this is a rock group called The Velvet Underground

i show movies on them, do you like their sound

'cause they have a style that grates

and i have art to make

let's do a movie here next week

we don't have sound but you're so great

you don't have to speak

you've got the style it takes, kiss

you've got the style it takes, eat

you've got the style it takes, couch

you've got the style it takes, kiss
