Five To One
Yeah, c’mon
Love my girl
She lookin’ good
C’mon
One more
Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive, now
You get yours, baby
I’ll get mine
Gonna make it, baby
If we try
The old get old
And the young get stronger
May take a week
And it may take longer
They got the guns
But we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah
We’re takin’ over
Come on!
Yeah!
Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful dimes
Gonna’ make it, baby, in our prime
Come together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, aha
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time!
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, gotta, get together
Ohhhhhhhh!
Hey, c’mon, honey
You won’t have along wait for me, baby
I’ll be there in just a little while
You see, I gotta go out in this car with these people and…
Get together one more time
Get together one more time
Get together, got to
Get together, got to
Get together, got to
Take you up in my room and…
Hah-hah-hah-hah-hah
Love my girl
She lookin’ good, lookin’ real good
Love ya, c’mon

Josh Clark does a pretty good range of emotive Jim Morrison inspired voices, the tones of voice used in acting out this song quite convincingly and intensely across the range, an actor, a prophet, a madman, revolutionary, pied piper, trip leader, tipsy.
Here is a video version of The Doors with Jim Morrison doing Five To One live at The Roundhouse in London, out on the DVD “The Doors Are Open”
