George Benson - Golden Slumbers / You Never Give Me Your Money Lyrics






Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye

You never give me your money
You only give me your funny paper
And in the middle of negotiations
You break down

I never give you my number
I only give you my situation
And in the middle of investigation
I break down

Out of college, money spent
See no future, pay no rent
All the money's gone, nowhere to go
Any jobber got the sack
Monday morning, turning back
Yellow lorry slow, nowhere to go
But oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Oh, that magic feeling, nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh...

One sweet dream
Pick up the bags and get in the limousine
Soon we'll be away from here
Step on the gas and wipe that tear away
One sweet dream came true today
Came true today
Came true today (Yes it did)

One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven
One two three four five six seven
All good children go to Heaven [fade out]

  11. t.... ....

    A brilliant example of this brilliant collaboration between George Benson and arranger Don Sebesky.
    Sinatra and Riddle equaled this, as a matter of course...
    ...but they never surpassed it.
    (Arranging Genius: 
    At 1:32, the harpsichord figure that ends the first section is echoed by the electric piano figure that starts the next...  this sh*t gives me chills.)
    (Astonishing) Personnel:
    George Benson – guitar, vocals
    Freddie Hubbard – trumpet
    Mel Davis, Bernie Glow, Marvin Stamm – trumpet, flugelhorn
    Wayne Andre – trombone, euphonium
    Don Ashworth – baritone saxophone
    Sonny Fortune – alto saxophone
    Jerome Richardson – tenor saxophone, clarinet, flute
    Phil Bodner – flute, oboe
    Hubert Laws – flute
    Herbie Hancock, Ernie Hayes, Bob James – piano, organ, harpsichord
    Ron Carter, Jerry Jemmott – Bass guitar
    Ed Shaughnessy, Idris Muhammad – drums
