Lyrics for singles by Three Dog Night
Shambala
One
Mama Told Me Not to Come
Joy to the World
An Old Fashioned Love Song
Black & White
Wash away my troubles, wash away my pain
With the rain in Shambala
Wash away my sorrow, wash away my shame
With the rain in Shambala
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ah, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Everyone is helpful, everyone is kind
On the road to Shambala
Everyone is lucky, everyone is so kind
On the road to Shambala
[chorus]
How does your light shine, in the halls of Shambala (2xs)
I can tell my sister by the flowers in her eyes
On the road to Shambala
I can tell my brother by the flowers in his eyes
On the road to Shambala
[chorus]
How does your light shine, in the halls of Shambala (2xs)
[chorus]
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one
No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
'Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, whoa-oh, worse than two
It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away
(number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest (number)
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Want some wiskey in your water, sugar in your tea
What's all these crazy questions you asking me
This is the crazest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights cause I don't want to see
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain't the way to have fun
Open up the window, let some air into this room
Think I'm almost choking from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette your smoking bout scare me half to death
Open up the window sucker
let me catch my breath
[chorus]
The radio was blasting, someone's knocking at the door
I'm looking at my girlfriend, she's passed out on the floor
I've seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is, I don't want to see no more
[chorus]
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singin'...
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 war
Make sweet love to you
Sing it now...
[chorus]
[electric piano]
You know I love the ladies
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]
Just an old fashioned love song
Playing on the radio
And wrapped around the music
Is the sound of someone promising they'll never go
You'll swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing em back
Cause they've never really gone
Just an Old Fashioned Love Song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an old fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
To weave our dreams upon and
Listen to each evening when the light are low
To underscore our love affair
With tenderness and feeling
That we've come to know
You'll swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing em back
Cause they've never really gone
Just an Old Fashioned Love Song
Coming down in three part harmony
Just an Old Fashioned Love Song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn to read and write
The child is black
The child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
The beautiful sight
And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land
All the land
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
The child is black
The child is white
Together they grow to see the light
To see the light
And now at last we plainly see
We'll have a dance of liberty
The world is black
The world is white
It turns by day and then by night
The child is black
The child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight
The beautiful sight
