American Pie A long long time ago I can still remember how that music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride But something touched me deep inside The day the music died {Refrain} So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie Drove my chevy to the levee But the levee was dry And them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die Did you write the Book of Love And do you have faith in God above If the Bible tells you so Do you believe in rock n' roll Can music save your mortal soul And can you teach me how to dance real slow Well, I know that you're in love with him 'Cause I saw you dancin' in the gym You both kicked off your shoes Man, I dig those rhythm & blues I was a lonely, teenage broncin' buck With a pink carnation and a pickup truck But I knew I was out of luck
10
The day the music died I started singin' {Refrain} I met a girl who sang the blues And I asked her for some happy news But she just smiled and turned away I went down to the sacred store Where I'd heard the music years before But the man there said the music wouldn't play And in the streets the children screamed The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed But not a word was spoken The church bells all were broken And the three men I admire most The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died And they were singin' {Refrain}
11
Another Saturday Night {refrain} Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody I got some money 'cause i just got paid How I wish I had someone to talk to I'm in awful way I blew in town 1 week ago, I ain't seen a lotta girls since then If I could find'em I could get'em but as yet I have'nt met'em That's why I'm in the shape I'm in ohhhh {refrain} fine
Another fella told me he had a sister that looked so Instead of being my deliverance, she had a strong resemblance To a cat named Frankenstein ohhhh.... {refrain}
It's hard for a fella, when he don't know his way around If I can't find me a honey to help me spend my money I'm gonna have to blow this town ohhh.... {refrain}
12
Bad Case of Lovin’ You The hot summer night fell like a net I've got to find my baby yet I need you to soothe my head Turn my blue heart to red {refrain} Doctor, doctor, give me the news I've got a bad case of lovin' you No pill's gonna cure my ill I've got a bad case of lovin' you A pretty face don't make no pretty heart I learned that, buddy, from the start You think I'm cute, a little bit shy Momma, I ain't that kind of guy {refrain} I know you like it, you like it on top Tell me, momma, are you gonna stop? You had me down, 21 to zip Smile of Judas on your lip Shake my fist, knock on wood I've got it bad, and I've got it good {refrain}
13
Bad Moon Rising I see the bad moon a-rising. I see trouble on the way. I see earthquakes and lightnin'. I see bad times today. Chorus: Don't go around tonight, Well, it's bound to take your life, There's a bad moon on the rise. I hear hurricanes a-blowing. I know the end is coming soon. I fear rivers over flowing. I hear the voice of rage and ruin. Chorus Hope you got your things together. Hope you are quite prepared to die. Looks like we're in for nasty weather. One eye is taken for an eye.
14
Blueberry Hill I found my thrill On blueberry hill On blueberry hill When I found you The moon stood still On blueberry hill It lingered until My dreams came true The wind in the willow played Love's sweet melody But all of those vows you made Were never to be Though we're apart You thought of me still For you were my thrill On blueberry hill The wind in the willow played Love's sweet melody But all of those vows you made Weren't only to be Though we're apart You thought of me still For you were my thrill On blueberry hill.
15
Born to be Wild Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space I like smoke and lightning Heavy metal thunder Racin' with the wind And the feelin' that I'm under Yeah Darlin' go make it happen Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space Like a true nature's child We were born, born to be wild We can climb so high I never wanna die Born to be wild Born to be wild

Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl) There's a port on a western bay And it serves a hundred ships a day Lonely sailors pass the time away And talk about their homes And there's a girl in this harbor town And she works layin' whiskey down They say "Brandy, fetch another round" She serves them whiskey and wine The sailors say Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be "Yeah your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea" (dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit) Brandy wears a braided chain Made of finest silver from the North of Spain A locket that bears the name of the man that Brandy loves He came on a summer's day bringin' gifts from far away But he made it clear he couldn't stay no harbor was his home The sailor said Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea (dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit) Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes When he told his sailor stories She could feel the ocean foam rise She saw its ragin' glory But he had always told the truth, lord, he was an honest man And Brandy does her best to understand (dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
17
At night when the bars close down Brandy walks through a silent town And loves a man who's not around She still can hear him say The sailor said Brandy, you're a fine girl What a good wife you would be But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea (dooda-dit-dooda), (dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit)
Brown Eyed Girl Hey, where did we go Days when the rains came ? Down in the hollow Playing a new game, Laughing and a-running, hey, hey, Skipping and a-jumping In the misty morning fog with Our, our hearts a-thumping And you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl. Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down to the old mine with a Transistor radio. Standing in the sunlight laughing Hide behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and a-sliding All along the waterfall With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah La dee dah. So hard to find my way
18
Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My, how you have grown! Cast my memory back there, Lord, Sometime I'm overcome thinking about Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium With you, my brown-eyed girl, You, my brown-eyed girl. Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

California Girls lyrics Well, East coast girls are hip, I really dig those styles they wear, And the Southern girls with the way they talk, They knock me out when I'm down there. The Midwest farmers' daughter really makes you feel alright, And the Northern girls, with the way they kiss, They keep their boyfriends warm at night. I wish they all could be California, (wish they all could be California) I wish they all could be California girls. The West coast has the sunshine And the girls all get so tan, I dig a french bikini on Hawaiian Island dolls, By a palm tree in the sand. I been all round this great big world And I seen all kinds of girls, yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states, back to the cutest girls in the world.
Cecilia (chorus) Cecilia, you're breaking my heart You're shaking my confidence daily Oh, Cecilia, I'm down on my knees I'm begging you please to come home Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia Up in my bedroom (making love) I got up to wash my face When I come back to bed Someone's taken my place
22

Centerfold Does she walk? Does she talk? Does she come complete? My homeroom homeroom angel Always pulled me from my seat She was pure like snowflakes, no one could ever stain The memory of my angel could never cause me pain Years go by, I'm looking through a girlie magazine And there's my homeroom angel on the pages in between (Chorus) My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold My angel is a centerfold Angel is a centerfold My blood runs cold, my memory has just been sold Angel is a centerfold Slipping notes, under the desk While I was thinking about her dress I was shy, I turned away, before she caught my eye I was shakin' in my shoes Whenever she flashed those baby blues Something had a hold on me when Angel passed close by Those soft fuzzy sweaters, too magical to touch To see her in that negligee is really just too much. It's okay, I understand This ain't no never-never land I hope that when this vision’s gone I'll see you when your clothes are on Take your car, yes we will, we'll take your car and drive it Take it to a motel room, and take 'em off in private A part of me has just been wrecked The pages from my mind are stripped
25
Oh no, I can't deny it Oh yeah, I guess I got to buy it

Cheeseburger In Paradise Tried to amend my carnivorous habits. Made it nearly seventy days, Losin' weight without speed-eatin' sunflower seeds, Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays. But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat. Not zucchini, fettucini, bulgar wheat, But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat. Cheeseburger in paradise. Heaven on earth with an onion slice. Not too particular, not too precise. I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise. Heard about the old time sailor men, They eat the same thing again and again; Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead. Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn. But times have changed for sailors these days. When I'm in port I get what I need; Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris, But that American creation on which I feed! Cheeseburger in paradise, medium rare with mustard be nice Heaven on earth with an onion slice. I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise. I like mine with lettuce and tomato Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer Well, good god Almighty which way do I steer For my cheeseburger in paradise
27
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice. Worth every damn bit of sacrifice To get a cheeseburger in paradise; To be a cheeseburger in paradise. I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise.
Come Sail Away I'm sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea I've got to be free, free to face the life that's ahead of me On board, I'm the captain, so climb aboard We'll search for tomorrow on every shore And I'll try, oh Lord, I'll try to carry on I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory Some happy, some sad I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had We live happily forever, so the story goes But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold But we'll try best that we can to carry on A gathering of angels appeared above my head They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said They said come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies Singing come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me Come sail away, come sail away Come sail away with me
28
Crocodile Rock I remember when rock was young Me and Suzie had so much fun holding hands and skimming stones Had an old gold Chevy and a place of my own But the biggest kick I ever got was doing a thing called the Crocodile Rock While the other kids were Rocking Round the Clock we were hopping and bopping to the Crocodile Rock Well Crocodile Rocking is something shocking when your feet just can't keep still I never knew me a better time and I guess I never will Oh Lawdy mama those Friday nights when Suzie wore her dresses tight and the Crocodile Rocking was out of sight La la la la la la , la la la la la, la la la la la But the years went by and the rock just died Suzie went and left us for some foreign guy Long nights crying by the record machine dreaming of my Chevy and my old blue jeans But they'll never kill the thrills we've got burning up to the Crocodile Rock Learning fast as the weeks went past we really thought the Crocodile Rock would last
29
Daydream Believer Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings Of the bluebird as she sings. The six o'clock alarm would never ring. But it rings and I rise, Wipe the sleep out of my eyes. My shavin' razor's cold and it stings. Cheer up, Sleepy Jean. Oh, what can it mean. To a daydream believer And a homecoming queen. You once thought of me As a white knight on a steed. Now you know how happy I can be. Oh, and our good times start and end Without dollar one to spend. But how much, baby, do we really need. (chorus)
Day O Work all night and a drink a rum (daylight come and me wanna go home) Stack banana till the mornin come (daylight come and me wanna go home) Day O (Day O) Daylight come and me want go home Come mister tally man tally me bananas (daylight come and me wanna go home) come mister tally man tally me bananas (daylight come and me wanna go home)
30
Day O (Day O) Daylight come and me want go home lift six foot seven foot eight foot bunch! (daylight come and me wanna go home) six foot seven foot eight foot bunch! (daylight come and me wanna go home) Day O (Day O) Daylight come and me want go home
Dead or Alive It's all the same Only the names will change Everyday It seems we're wasting away Another place Where the faces are so cold I'd drive all night just to get back home I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride I'm wanted Dead or alive Wanted, Dead or Alive Sometimes I sleep Sometimes its not for days The people I meet Always are going somewhere Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink And times when you're alone All you do is think I walk these streets With a loaded six string on my back I play for keeps Cause I might not make it back I've been everywhere Still I'm standing tall I've been a million places And I've rocked them all
31
Devil Went Down to Georgia The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal. When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot. And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what: "I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too. "And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you. "Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due: "I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you." The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin, "But I'll take your bet, your gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been." Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard. 'Cos hells broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals with cards. And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold. But if you lose, the devil gets your soul. The devil opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show." And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow. And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss. Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
32
When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son. "But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done." Fire on the mountain, run boys, run. The devil's in the house of the risin' sun. Chicken in the bread pan, pickin' out dough. "Granny, does your dog bite?" "No, child, no." The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet. Johnny said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again. "I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best there’s ever been." And he played fire on the mountain, run boys, run. The devil's in the house of the risin' sun. Chicken in the bread pan pickin' out dough. "Granny, does your dog bite?" "No, child, no."
Do Wah Diddy There she was just a-walkin' down the street, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Snappin' her fingers and shufflin' her feet, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" She looked good (looked good), she looked fine (looked fine) She looked good, she looked fine and I nearly lost my mind
33
Before I knew it she was walkin' next to me, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Holdin' my hand just as natural as can be, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" We walked on (walked on) to my door (my door) We walked on to my door, then we kissed a little more Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of Now we're together nearly every single day, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Well I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine) I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime Whoa-oh, I knew we was falling in love Yes I did, and so I told her all the things I'd been dreamin' of Now we're together nearly every single day, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" A-we're so happy and that's how we're gonna stay, singin' "Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do" Well I'm hers (I'm hers), she's mine (she's mine) I'm hers, she's mine, wedding bells are gonna chime Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh yeah Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, we'll sing it Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do, oh yeah, oh, oh yeah Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy do

(Sittin on the) Dock of the Bay Sitting in the morning sun. I'll be sitting ti the evening comes. Watchin the ships roll in. And then I watch'em roll away again. CHORUS Sittin on the dock of the bay, watchin the tide, roll away. Sittin on the dock of the bay, wastin time I left my home in Georgia. I was headed for the Frisco bay. I've got nothing to live for, looks like nothings gonna come my way. CHORUS BRIDGE Looks like, nothing's gonna change. Everything, remains the same. I can't do what ten people tell me to do, so I guess I'll remain the same... Sittin here restin my bones, and this lonliness wont leave me alone! It's two thousand miles, I roamed, just to make this dock my home!!
35
Don’t Be Cruel You know I can be found, Sitting home all alone, If you can't come around, At least please telephone. Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. Baby, if I made you mad For something I might have said, Please, lets forget the past, The future looks bright ahead, Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. I don't want no other love, Baby it's just you I'm thinking of. Don't stop thinking of me, Don't make me feel this way, Come on over here and love me, You know what I want you to say. Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. Why should we be apart? I really love you baby, cross my heart. Lets walk up to the preacher And let us say I do, Then you'll know you'll have me, And I'll know that I'll have you, Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. I don't want no other love, Baby it's just you I'm thinking of. Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. Don't be cruel to a heart that's true. I don't want no other love, Baby it's just you I'm thinking of.
Don’t You Want Me? 36
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar When I met you I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around Turned you into someone new Now five years later on you’ve got the world at your feet Success has been so easy for you But don’t forget it’s me who put you where you are now And I can put you back down too Dont, dont you want me? You know I can’t believe it when I hear that you won’t see me Dont, dont you want me?

Don't Stop Believin' Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world She took the midnight train goin' anywhere... Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit He took the midnight train goin' anywhere... A singer in a smoky room, The smell of wine and cheap perfume For a smile they can share the night It goes on and on and on and on... Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard Their shadows searching in the night Streetlight people, living just to find emotion Hiding, somewhere in the night Working hard to get my fill, Everybody wants a thrill Payin' anything to roll the dice, Just one more time Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues Oh, the movie never ends It goes on and on and on and on Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlight people Don't stop believin' Hold on to the feelin' Streetlight people
38
Drift Away Day after day I'm more confused So I look for the light in the pouring rain You know that's a game that I hate to lose I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame CHORUS Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time I don't understand the things I do The world outside looks so unkind I'm countin' on you to carry me through And when my mind is free You know a melody can move me And when I'm feelin' blue The guitar's comin' through to soothe me Thanks for the joy that you've given me I want you to know I believe in your song Rhythm and rhyme and harmony You help me along makin' me strong Chorus

Fins She came down from Cincinnati It took her three days on the train Lookin' for some peace and quiet Hoped to see the sun again But now she lives down by the ocean She's takin' care to look for sharks They hang out in the local bars And they feed right after dark Chorus: Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey Can't you feel 'em swimmin' around You got fins to the left, fins to the right And you're the only bait in town Oh oh Oh oh You got fins to the left, fins to the right And you're the only girl in town She's saving up all of her money Wants to head it south in May Maybe roll in the sand with a rock 'n' roll man Somewhere down Montserrat way But the money's good in the season Helps to lighten up her load Boys keep her high as the months go by She's getting postcards from the road Chorus: Can't you feel 'em closin' in, honey Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around You got fins to the left, fins to the right And you're the only girl in town Sailed off to Antigua
44
It took her three days on a boat Lookin' for some peace and quiet Maybe keep her dreams afloat But now she feels like a remora 'Cause the school's still close at hand Just behind the reef are the big white teeth Of the sharks that can swim on the land Chorus: Can't you feel 'em circlin', honey Can't you feel 'em schoolin' around You got fins to the left, fins to the right And you're the only bait in town You got fins to the left, fins to the right And you're the only girl in town
Friends in Low Places Blame it all on my roots I showed up in boots And ruined your black tie affair The last one to know The last one to show I was the last one You thought you'd see there And I saw the surprise And the fear in his eyes When I took his glass of champagne And I toasted you Said, honey, we may be through But you'll never hear me complain 'Cause I've got friends in low places Where the whiskey drowns And the beer chases my blues away
45
And I'll be okay I'm not big on social graces Think I'll slip on down to the oasis Oh, I've got friends in low places Well, I guess I was wrong I just don't belong But then, I've been there before Everything's all right I'll just say goodnight And I'll show myself to the door Hey, I didn't mean To cause a big scene Just give me an hour and then Well, I'll be as high As that ivory tower That you're livin' in Chorus
The Gambler On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere, I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness 'Til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak. He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces, And knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
46
For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice." So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression. Said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it right. You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away and know when to run. You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done. Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep. 'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser, And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep." And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the window, Crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep. And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even. But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep. Chorus

Glory Days I had a friend was a big baseball player back in high school He could throw that speedball by you Make you look like a fool boy Saw him the other night at this roadside bar I was walking in and he was walking out We went back inside sat down, had a few drinks but all he kept talking about was Glory days well they'll pass you by Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye Glory days, glory days There's a girl that lives up the block back in school she could turn all the boys' heads Sometimes an a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed Her and her husband Bobby well they split up I guess it's two years gone by now We just sit around talking about the old times, she says when she feels like crying she starts laughing thinking about Chorus Think I'm going down to the well tonight and I'm going to drink till I get my fill And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it but I probably will Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of, but time slips away and leaves you with nothing mister but boring stories of glory days

Hotel California
57
On a dark desert highway Cool wind in my hair The warm smell of colitas Rising up through the air Up ahead in the distance I saw a shimmering light My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim I had to stop for the night There she stood in the doorway I heard the mission bell And I was thinking to myself This could be heaven or this could be hell Then she lit up a candle And she showed me the way There were voices down the corridor I thought I heard them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place, such a lovely face There's plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year, you can find it here Her mind is tiffany twisted She's got her Mercedes Benz She's got a lotta pretty, pretty boys That she calls friends How they dance in the courtyard Sweet summer sweat Some dance to remember Some dance to forget
58
So I called up the captain Please bring me my wine He said "We haven't had that spirit here since 1969" And still those voices they're calling from far away Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say Welcome to the Hotel California Such a lovely place, such a lovely face They're livin' it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise, bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne on ice And she said "We are all just prisoners here of our own device" In the masters chambers they're gathered for the feast They stab it with their steely knifes but they just can't kill the beast Last thing I remember, I was runnin' for the door I had to find the passage back to the place I was before "Good night" said the night man "We are programmed to receive You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"

She sewed my new blue jeans. My father was a gamblin' man Down in New Orleans. Now, the only thing a gambler needs Is a suitcase and a trump And the only time that he's satisfied Is when he's all a-drunk. Oh, Mother, tell your children Not to do what I have done. Spend your lives in sin and misery In the house of the risin' sun. Well, I've got one foot on the platform. The other foot on the train. I'm goin' back to New Orleans To wear that ball and chain. Well, there is a house in New Orleans They call the Risin' Sun And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy. In God, I know I'm one.

I Think We’re Alone Now Children behave, That's what they say when we're together, And watch how you play, They don't understand, And so we're, Running just as fast as we can, Holdin' onto one another's hand, Tryin' to get away into the night, And then you put your arms around me, And we tumble to the ground, And then you say, I think we're alone now, There doesn't seem to be anyone around. I think we're alone now, The beating of our hearts is the only sound. Look at the way, We gotta hide what we're doin'. 'Cause what would they say, If they ever knew and so we're, Running just as fast as we can, Holdin' onto one another's hand, Tryin' to get away into the night, And then you put your arms around me, And we tumble to the ground, And then you say, I think we're alone now, There does't seem to be anyone around.

I Will Survive At first I was afraid I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along and so you're back from outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die Oh no, not I I will survive oh as long as i know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive (hey hey)

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry But now I hold my head up high and you see me somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free But now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me Go on now go walk out the door just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye Did you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die Oh no, not I I will survive oh as long as i know how to love I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive (oh)

I’m a Believer I thought love was only true in fairy tales Meant for someone else but not for me. Love was out to get me That's the way it seemed. Disappointment haunted all my dreams. Chorus Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer Not a trace of doubt in my mind. I'm in love, I'm a believer! I couldn't leave her if I tried. I thought love was more or less a givin' thing, Seems the more I gave the less I got. What's the use in tryin'? All you get is pain. When I needed sunshine I got rain. Chorus

66
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord Well I remember, I remember, don't worry, how could I ever forget It's the first time and the last time we ever met But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me Because the hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows Some stranger to you and me I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

Lucille (You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me) In a bar in Toledo across from the depot On a bar stool she took off her ring I thought I'd get closer so I walked on over I sat down and asked her name When the drinks finally hit her She said I'm no quitter but I finally quit livin on dreams I'm hungry for laughter and here ever after I'm after whatever the other life brings In the mirror I saw him and I closely watched him I thought how he looked out of place He came to the woman who sat there be-side me He had a strange look on his face The big hands were calloused he looked like a mountain For a minute I thought I was dead But he started shaking his big heart was breaking He turned to the woman and said You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille With four hungry children and a crop in the field I've had some bad times lived through some sad times But this time your hurting won't heal You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille. After he left us I ordered more whisky I thought how she'd made him look small From the lights of the bar room To a rented hotel room We walked without talking at all She was a beauty but when she came to me She must have thought I'd lost my mind I could'nt hold her 'cos the words that told her

Margaritaville Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake; All of those tourists covered with oil. Strummin' my six string on my front porch swing. Smell those shrimp They're beginnin' to boil. Wasted away again in Margaritaville, Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt. Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, But I know it's nobody's fault. Don't know the reason, Stayed here all season With nothing to show but this brand new tattoo. But it's a real beauty, A Mexican cutie, how it got here I haven't a clue. Wasted away again in Margaritaville, Searchin' for my lost shaker of salt. Some people claim that there's a woman to blame, Now I think, - hell it could be my fault. I blew out my flip flop, Stepped on a pop top, Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home. But there's booze in the blender, And soon it will render That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

You May Be Right Friday night I crashed your party Saturday I said I'm sorry Sunday came and trashed it out again I was only having fun Wasn't hurting anyone And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change I've been stranded in the combat zone I walked through Bedford Stuy alone Even rode my motorcycle in the rain And you told me not to drive But I made it home alive So you said that only proves that I'm insane You may be right I may be crazy But it just might be a lunatic you're looking for Turn out the light Don't try to save me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right Remember how I found you there Alone in your electric chair
108
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled You were lonely for a man I said take me as I am 'Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while Now think of all the years you tried to Find someone to satisfy you I might be as crazy as you say If I'm crazy then it's true That it's all because of you And you wouldn't want me any other way You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for It's too late to fight It's too late to change me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right

As Time Goes By This day and age we're living in Gives cause for apprehension With speed and new invention And things like fourth dimension. Yet we get a trifle weary With Mr. Einstein's theory. So we must get down to earth at times Relax relieve the tension And no matter what the progress Or what may yet be proved The simple facts of life are such They cannot be removed.] You must remember this A kiss is just a kiss, a sigh is just a sigh. The fundamental things apply As time goes by. And when two lovers woo They still say, "I love you." On that you can rely No matter what the future brings As time goes by. Moonlight and love songs Never out of date. Hearts full of passion Jealousy and hate. Woman needs man And man must have his mate That no one can deny.
117
It's still the same old story A fight for love and glory A case of do or die. The world will always welcome lovers As time goes by. Oh yes, the world will always welcome lovers As time goes by.

I could write a preface; On how we met; That the world will never forget. And the simple; Secret of the plot; Is just to tell them; That I love you, alot. Then the world discovers; As my book ends; How to make two lovers of friends

I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way "Oh no, oh no, not me I did it my way" For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way Yes, it was my way

Swingin’ on a Star Chorus Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a mule A mule is an animal with long funny ears He kicks up at anything he hears His back is brawny - and his brain is weak Hes just plain stupid with a - stubborn streak And by the way, if you hate to go to school You may grow up to be a mule Chorus Or would you rather be a pig A pig is an animal with dirt on his face His shoes are a terrible disgrace He aint got no manners when he eats his food Hes fat and lazy - and extremely rude But if you don't care a feather or a fig You may grow up to be a pig Chorus Or would you rather be a fish A fish wont do anything but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a book And to fool the people is his only thought Though he slippery - he still gets caught But then if that sort of life is what you wish You may grow up to be a fish And all the monkeys aren't in a zoo Every day you meet quite a few

On down to San Antone. When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," But I shot a man in Reno, Just to watch him die, When I hear that whistle blowin', I hang my head and cry. I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, But I know I had it comin', I know I can't be free, But those people keep a-movin', And that's what tortures me. Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line, Far from Folsom Prison, That's where I want to stay, And I'd let that lonesome whistle, Blow my Blues away.

Hotter than a Two-Dollar Pistol I stopped off at the quick sack for some beer and cigarrettes. The old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette. He said "I had one just like her son in 1963, Hell a man down at the bank took her from me Oh she was hotter than a two dollar pistol, she was the fastest thing around. Long and leen every young man's dream, she turned every head in town. She was built and fun to handle, son. I'm glad that you dropped in. She reminds me of the one I loved back then". Then I handed him my keys and said "Here take her for a spin" The old man scratched his head and then he looked at me and grinned he said "Son you just don't understand, it ain't the car I want. It's the brunette in your vet that turns me on" That one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol she was the fastest thing around long and leen every young man's dream she turned every head in town she was built and fun to handle, son I'm glad that you dropped in she reminds me of the one I loved back then. Lord she was hotter than a two dollar pistol she was the fastest thing around long and leen every young man's dream she turned every head in town she was built and fun to handle, son I'm glad that you dropped in. She reminds me of the one i loved back then.

Tight Fittin’ Jeans She tried to hide it by the faded denim clothes she wore. But I knew she'd never been inside a bar before. I felt just like a peasant, who just had met a queen And she knew I saw right through her tight fittin' jeans. I asked her what's a woman, like you doin' here? I see you're used to champagne, but I'll buy you a beer. She said you've got me figured out, but I'm not what I seem And for a dance I'll tell you 'bout these tight fittin' jeans. She said I married money, I'm used to wearin' pearls But I've always dreamed of bein' just a good ol' boy's girl. So tonight I left those crystal candlen lights to live a dream, And partner there's a tiger in these tight fittin' jeans. We danced every dance, and Lord the beer that we went through. I'm satisfied I did my best to make her dreams come true. As she played out her fantasy before my eyes it seemed, A cowgirl came alive inside those tight fittin' jeans. In my mind she's still a lady, that's all I'm gonna say. I knew that I'd been broken by the time we parted ways. And I know I held more woman than most eyes have ever seen That night I knew a lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans.
197
Well, now she's back in her world, and I'm still stuck in mine. But I know I'll always remember the time. A cowboy once had, a millionaire's dream. And Lord I loved that lady wearin' tight fittin' jeans.

Down we dive, spouting our flame from under, Off with one helluva roar! We live in fame or go down in flame. Hey! Nothing'll stop the U.S. Air Force!
Yankee Doodle I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, A Yankee Doodle do or die; A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam's. Born on the Fourth of July. I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart, She's my Yankee Doodle joy. Yankee Doodle came to London, Just to ride the ponies, I'm a Yankee Doodle boy.

You're a grand old flag You're a grand old flag, You're a high flying flag And forever in peace may you wave. You're the emblem of The land I love. The home of the free and the brave. Ev'ry heart beats true 'neath the Red, White and Blue, Where there's never a boast or brag. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, Keep your eye on the grand old flag.
