I have just completed updating my song book which has 40 original songs which I have written since 2003. It also has original illustrations and photos and all the chords and some background information about the songs. Available for £4.
I GET A KICK OUTTA YOU
June '08 London melody - August '08 Rockstock-Helsinki ferry text
Late last night I went to bed C/a-/d-/G7
Put a coin beneath my head C/a-/F/G
When I opened my eyes to my delight
My bed and I flew through the night
The sea below was as black as coal
The stars above as white as snow
In a dark wood we did land
Where my clarinet stood with outstretched hands
I get a kick outta you, can't take my eyes off you
The way you move, makes me feel so good
I get a kick outta you, all my dreams are coming true
Under the trees skipping ropes
Were dancing with happy jokes
They leapt and hopped and as they sang
The chimes of midnight slowly rang
Suddenly clarinet
Had vanished into the thin air
I looked throughout the forest
But of my clarinet I found no trace
I get a kick outta you, why did I take my eyes off you
When I danced with you, it made me feel so you
I get a kick out of you, with your magic red shoes
The pale moon danced like a goon
The silent streets sang harmonies
My clarinet took my rough hands
And lead me to a distant land
Where streams of living water flow
And snow-white swans to giants grow
I touched the mouthpiece with my lips
And found myself on a milk white ship
I get a kick outta you,
In the valley of death I fear I'll get ill
I get a kick out of you, reality all seems so unreal
The captain of the milk white ship
Was a crazy drunken insomniac?
He hunted for whales in the canals
While singing Turkish madrigals
He made himself walk the plank
And laughed out loud as his ship he sank
But I agreed with his philosophy
And jumped overboard shouting gleefully...
I get a kick outta you, when I think of you
I take a shower, when I take a shower
I think of you, I get a kick out of you!
