THE MAMA'S & THE PAPA'S
01-AGE OF AQUARIUS – C1 La m
The Mamas & the Papas
When the moon is in the seventh house
And jupiter aligns with mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of aquarius
The age of aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golding living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revalation
And the mind's true liberation
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
When the moon is in the seventh house
And jupiter aligns with mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of aquarius
The age of aquarius
Aquarius!
Aquarius!
[extra verses from london 1993 production]
As our hearts go beating through the night
We dance unto the dawn of day
To be the bearers of the water
Our light will lead the way
We are the spirit of the age of aquarius
The age of aquarius
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
Angelic illumination
Rising firey constellation
Travelling our starry courses
Guided by the cosmic forces
O care for us
Aquarius
02-CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ – Do# m
The Mamas & the Papas
All the leaves are brown
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
and the sky is grey
i´ve been for a walk
i´ve been for a walk
on a winter´s day
on a winter´s day
i´d be safe and warm
i´d be safe and warm
if i was in l.a.
if i was in l.a.
california dreamin´
california dreamin´
on such a winter´s day
stopped into a church
i passed along the way
well, i got down on my knees
got down on my knees
and i pretend to pray
i pretend to pray
you know the preacher likes the cold
preacher likes the cold
he knows i´m gonna stay
knows i´m gonna stay
california dreamin´
california dreamin´
on such a winter´s day
all the leaves are brown
all the leaves are brown
and the sky is grey
and the sky is grey
i´ve been for a walk
i´ve been for a walk
on a winter´s day
on a winter´s day
if i didn´t tell her
if i didn´t tell her
i could leave today
i could leave today
california dreamin´…
03-DREAM A LITTLE DREAM OF ME – Do M
The Mamas & the Papas
[spoken]
"...you keep pouring into one glass and you're never changing the straw."
"And now to sing this lovely ballad, here is...Mama Cass."
Stars shining bright above you;
Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you."
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.
Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
While I'm alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss.
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this...
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss.
I'm longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this...
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me
04-MONDAY, MONDAY – Fa# M
The Mamas & the Papas
Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Monday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
Oh Monday mornin',
Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me
Monday, Monday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way
Oh Monday mornin'
you gave me no warnin' of what was to be
Oh Monday, Monday,
how could you leave and not take me
*Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah
But whenever Monday comes,
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday, Monday, so good to me
Monday mornin', it was all I hoped it would be
But Monday mornin',
Monday mornin' couldn't guarantee
That Monday evenin' you would still be here with me
Every other day, every other day
Every other day of the week is fine, yeah (yeah)
But whenever Monday comes,
but whenever Monday comes
A-you can find me cryin' all of the time
Monday, Monday, can't trust that day
Monday, Monday, it just turns out that way
Oh Monday, Monday, won't go away
Monday, Monday, it's here to stay
Oh Monday, Monday
Oh Monday, Monday
05-SPANISH HARLEM – Do M
The Mamas & the Papas
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem,
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem.
It is a special one;
it never seen the sun.
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming.
It growing in the street
right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet and dreamy.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem,
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem.
With eyes as black as coal,
that look down in my soul
And start a fire there and then I lose control;
I have to beg
your pardon.
I’m gonna pick that rose
and watch her as she grows
In my garden.
It is a special one; it’s never seen the sun.
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the stars are gleaming.
It’s gonna pick that rose
In my garden.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem;
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem.
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem;
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem...
06-TURN, TURN, TURN – Re M
The Mamas & the Papas
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
