THREE DOG NIGHT- "ELI'S COMING"

ROSE TO #10 IN 1969. LYRICS: Eli's comin'
Eli's comin' (Eli's a-comin')
Well you better hide your heart, your loving heart
Eli's a-comin' and the cards say... a broken heart
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)
You better, better hide your heart
Eli's comin', better walk
Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got
away)
Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked
but...)
Get down on your knees (she walked but she never got away)
Eli's comin' (hide it, hide it, hide it)
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's a-comin', you better hide
Girl, Eli's comin', hide your heart, girl (hide it)
You better, better hide your heart
Eli's comin', better walk
Walk but you'll never get away
No, you'll never get away from the burnin' a-heartache
I walked to Apollo by the bay
Everywhere I go though, Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get
away)
Eli's a-comin' (she walked but she'll never get away)
Eli's a-comin' and he's comin' to git ya (she walked but... she walked
but...)
Get down on your knees (she walked but she'll never get away)
Get down on your knees
No-no, no-no
Lord, I said no-no, no-no, no-no
(hide it) She can
(hide it) hide it
(hide it) You better
(hide it) Somebody
(hide it) You got t'
(hide it) Oh, my
(hide it) Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Think this has to be their best song if I had to pick just one-this would be at the top then prob One and Try a Little Tenderness-they had it goin' on while I was in jr/sr high school! Thanks for sharing!

[rwells47]

@NaughtGinger - you're very welcome!

[Mandi7882]

One more year and the RRHOF forgets these guys. There are tons of bands that need to be inducted...Three DOg NIght should be top on that list too!

[rwells47]

@Mandi7882- I agree that 3 Dog Night should be inducted. Also I believe Tommy James & The Shondells and Johnny Rivers should be in the RRHOF.

[Mandi7882]

@rwells47 - OMG, Tommy James isn't in either??! Gosh, there are so many deserving. Three Dog Night, I cannot believe they're not in...War is up for the second or third time (come on now!), No Johnny Rivers?!?! No Chicago, No Blood Sweat and Tears or Tower of Power, no YES....the list goes on and on. I'm opening my own Hall of Fame Music museum and inducting my own people, I've had enough.

[rwells47]

@Mandi7882- Mandi, I believe the RRHOF is becoming a Hall of Shame! So many deserving artists are being overlooked. I question many of their choices. So many rap artists are being inducted at the expense of  not choosing some great Rock and Rollers! When you open your own Hall of Fame I'm sure it will be better than the one that is in existence so far. Ron

Haha my name is Eli :D

Three Dog Night had the best harmony of any group ( even in today's vocals). They had some great music on their LP's that never got airplay on ther radio. They are/were so much more than just singing about a bullfrog named Jeremiah. I WISH they could get together again for at least one full blown reunion tour. ( They still have a gazillion fans out here who would love to hear them ) Some one got it right, R-n-R Hall of SHAME.

@sharkboiidlopez22 Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onlyme114]

MERCY what memories... the ones I remember... : ) The late 60's and early 70's were the best rock years ever !

[flabbycheeto43]

my science teacher loves this song and she actually thinks its for superbowl 46! haha mrs talbert

[fligemon]

TDN will be in the RnR HOF this year, well, sort of. Laura Nyro, who wrote "Eli's Comin", will be inducted. I was at the Hall earlier this year and it is pretty obvious that most of us have definitions of RnR that differ very much from the those who run the operation. I asked some questions about Elvis and was pretty much ignored.........sorry but Motown is not RnR.

ELI'S COMING BETTER COVER CRUZ PATS!

[Planktontwo]

@rwells47 Ron as you and I know, it is not a true hall of fame until some of these classic groups get in here. The politics for what is inducted and what is not goes beyond quality. It is a joke as to who and what they let in there. Keep hoping.

[marlowefive]

this song should be the team song of the NYGiants
