Miscellaneous Lyrics
Ceiling in My Room
- Length 3:13
- Singer David Jones
- Producer
- Recorded
- Songwriter David Jones, Don DeMieri, and Robert Dick
I'm a millionaire
Without a care in the world
I have played the game
I've made the grade, I've shown them all
I'm a teenage idol just starting a tune
No, it's just the ceiling in my room
I have got more friends
Than I've ever had before
But are all these friends
Like the ones I knew before?
Hey, look, there's my old schoolmates there at my back door
No, it's just the ceiling in my room
If I could only be part
Of the things that I see
I'd trade all the wealth and fame
You've given to me
Oh, I wanna be free
But, no matter what
My future may bring
I always will remember
Just one simple thing
That when all my visions contain only gloom
I know it's just the ceiling in my room... my room... my room
La da ta, la da ta
da da da da da ta ta
La da da, la da da
da da da da...
If I Learned To Play The Violin
- Length 2:40
- Singer David Jones
- Producer Jeff Barry
- Recorded New York City (Jan. 26, 1967)
- Songwriter Joey Levine and Artie Resnick
If I learned to play the violin
And I traded my old guitar in
Would parents still object
Or would I earn their respect
If I learned to play the violin?
I would even go and cut my hair
Though my friends would point
And say I'm square
Girl, would your society
Still look down their nose at me
If I learned to play the violin?
I'd give up my beat ways
Take up more discreet ways
All you gotta do, is ask me to
Whoa, just ask me to
And I learned to play the violin
Turn my back on everything I've been
I'd be like somebody new
But not change my love for you
If I learned to play the violin
I'd give up my beat ways
Take up more discreet ways
All you gotta do, is ask me to
Whoa, just ask me to
And I learned to play the violin
Yes, I learned to play the violin
And I learned to play the violin
Yes, I learned to play the violin...
