Schemer-Dreamer/That’s All Right Lyrics by Steve Walsh

Schemer-Dreamer

1980

[Schemer-Dreamer]
[Verse 1]
Well, the schemer's world is dizzy
By the look of things, he's busy
Lighting candles at both ends
Playing king with all his friends
And his big plans for the future
Lay on someone else's shoulders
But he never tells them so
Well, he don't want them to know
[Chorus 1]
Well, don't think I like the schemer's schemes
They use, abuse and I've paid my dues
Excuse me if I don't stay
That's all I've got to say
Well, he thinks I owe my life to him, what a humble guy
It was better late than never when we said goodbye
Well, if you hear me out there, schemer boy, you blew it bad
But that's all right for you
[Verse 2]
Well, the dreamer's situation's
Sure a sign of certain death
He thinks he's found his way at last
But he don't know this dream peaks fast
And his politics and morals
Just a phrase of fancy words
And then he thinks he's warm and real
But he's still as cold as steel
[Chorus 2]
I don't think I like this dreamer's dreams
Try to light, they won't ignite
Bite and he don't bleed
Fight and he'll concede
Well, he's got a lot but I can't ignore the price he paid
Lookin' down his sloppy front he thinks he's got it made
Well, if you hear me out there, dreamer boy, you blew it bad
But that's all right for you
(Yeah, that's all right for you)
[Bridge]
Whoa, oh, oh, that's all right for you, yeah
Whoa, oh, oh, that's all right for you, yeah
[Verse 3]
Well, prissy miss Christina
Don't tell no one she's sixteen
Ah, but she knows just what to sell
Promised mommy not to tell
And she's overbred and underfed
You'd like to take her right to bed
Tries hard to look the part
Like she'd be nasty in the dark
[Chorus 3]
Well, once I tried to win it
She said, "Just a New York minute
Boy, before we can get along
Don't you know you've got to grease my palm"
I said, "Look madam, one dollar's all that I can find"
So she screamed, "Get out—get out before I lose my mind"
Well, if you hear me out there, screamer girl, you coulda had
But that's all right for you (Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha)
(Yeah, that's all right for you, yeah)
(That's all right—that's all right for you)
[That's All Right]
[Chorus]
That's all right, little mama, that's all right for you
That's all right, little mama, any old thing you do
'Cause that's all right, that's all right
That's all right, little mama, anything you want to do
(Yeah, hey, hey, yeah)
[Chorus]
That's all right, little mama, that's all right for you
That's all right, little mama, any old thing you do
'Cause that's all right, that's all right
That's all right, little mama, anything you want to do, yeah
(Yeah, hey, hey, yeah)
(Yeah, hey, yeah)
(Yeah, hey, yeah)
[Chorus]
That's all right, little mama, that's all right for you
That's all right, little mama, any old thing you do
'Cause that's all right, that's all right (That's all right, little mama, that's all right for you)
And that's all right, little mama, anything you want to do (Ooh)
(That's all right, yeah)
(That's all right, yeah)
(That's all right)
[Chorus]
That's all right, little mama (That's all right)
That's all right for you (That's all right)
That's all right, little mama (That's all right)
Any old thing you do (That's all right)
(Yeah, hey, yeah)
[Chorus]
That's all right, little mama
That's all right for you
That's all right, little mama
Any old thing you do
