THANK YOU GIRL

(Lennon-McCartney)


Oh, oh,
You've been good to me
You made me glad
When I was blue
And eternally
I'll always be
In love with you
And all I gotta do
Is thank you girl, thank you girl

I could tell the world
A thing or two
About our love
I know little girl
Only a fool
Would doubt our love
And all I gotta do
Is thank you girl, thank you girl

Thank you girl for loving me
The way that you do, (way that you do)
That's the kind of love
That seems too good to be true
And all I gotta do

MATCHBOX

(Perkins)


I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain't got no matches
but I sure got a long way to go

I'm an ol' poor boy, and I'm a
long way from home
I'm an ol' poor boy, and I'm a
long way from home
I'll never be happy cause everything I
ever did was wrong

Well, If you don't want my peaches honey
please don't shake my tree
If you don't want Ringo's peaches honey
please don't mess around my tree
I got news for you baby
Leave you here in misery

Well, let me be your little dog
‘Til your big dog comes
Well, let me be your little dog
‘Til your big dog comes
And when your big dog gets here
Watch how your puppy dog runs

I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I'm sittin' here watchin'
Matchbox hole in my clothes.
I ain't got no matches
But I sure got a long way to go

BAD BOY

(Williams)


A bad little kid moved into my neighborhood
He won't do nothing right just sitting down and looks so good
He don't want to go to school and learn to read and write
Just sits around the house and plays the rock and roll music all night
Well, he put thumbtacks on teachers chair
Puts chewing gum in little girl's hair
Now, junior, behave yourself

Buy every rock and roll book on the magazine stand
Every dime that he get is off to the jukebox man
Well he worries his teacher till at night she's ready to poop
From rocking and a-rolling spinning in a hula hoop
Well this rock and roll has got to stop
Junior's head is hard as rock
Now, junior, behave yourself

Going tell your mama you better do what she said
Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head
Took the canary and you fed it to the neighbors cat
You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother's laundromat
Well, your mama's said it's got to stop
Junior's head is hard as rock
Now, junior, behave yourself

YES IT IS

(Lennon-McCartney)

If you wear red tonight
Remember what I said tonight
For red is the color that my baby wore
And what's more, it's true
Yes it is

Scarlet were the clothes she wore
Everybody knows I've sure
I would remember all the things we planned
Understand, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is

I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her
But it's my pride, yes it is
Yes it is, oh yes it is
Yeah

Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it's true
Yes it is, it's true
Yes it is

I could be happy with you by my side
If I could forget her
But it's my pride, yes it is
Yes it is, oh yes it is
Yeah

Please don't wear red tonight
This is what I said tonight
For red is the color that will make me blue
In spite of you, it's true
