I was a little too tall,could’ve used a few pounds
Tight pants points,hardly renowned
She was a black haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points of her own,sittin’ way up high
Way up firm and high
Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my’60 Chevy
Workin’ on mysteries without any clues
We weren’t in love,oh no,far from it
We weren’t searchin’ for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin’ by the sword
And we’d steal away every chance we could
To the back room to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her,She used me but neither one cared
We were getting’ our share
Workin’ on our night moves
Trying’ to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin’ on our night moves
Mmm,and it was Summertime
Mmm,Sweet,Summertime,Summertime…

William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll

With a cane that he twirled around his diamond ringed finger

At a Baltimore Hotel society gathering

And the cops were called in and his weapon took from him

As they rode him in custody down to the station

And booked William Zanzinger for first degree murder

Kris Kristofferson : Somebody Nobody Knows

Down in the gutter
An old man is lying
Like something the world threw away

The late crowd is leaving
But none of them even
Takes time to look down
Where he lays

The old man is crying
And desperately trying
To wipe off the dirt from his clothes

He's one of those people
The world left behind
He's somebody nobody knows

Brilliant !!!

To find
The words to tell you goodbye
