BACKDOOR SANTA
Okay boys, let's do it!
I'm your back door Santa,
I make my run at the break of day,
They call me back door Santa,
I make my run at the break of day.
I keep the little girls happy, while the boys are out to play.
Well I ain't like old Saint Nick, he don't come but once a year (once a year)
Well I ain't like old Saint Nick, he don't come but once a year.
I come runnin' with my presents, every time you call me dear.
I kept some change in my pocket, when the jumpin's goin' on,
I gave a few pennies, so we could be alone.
I kept that door open, in case anyone smelled a mouse.
'Cause Jonny's in some trouble, there ain't no chimney in the house.
Uh-oh, could be in some trouble boys,
Hey Rudolph, Richie, get me outta here.
They call me back door Santa,

BANG BANG
You were five when I was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
When you and I, I was down
You swore your love to the end
Bang Bang
You shot me down
Bang Bang
I hit the ground
That awful sound that night
My baby shot me down.
BECAUSE THE NIGHT
(By Bruce Springsteen & Patti Smith)
Take me now baby here as I am
Pull me close try an understand
I work all day out in the hot sun
Stay with me now till the mornin' comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
Because the night belongs to lovers
Because the night belongs to us
What I got I have earned
What I'm not I have learned
Desire and hunger is the fire I breathe
Just stay in my bed till the morning comes
Come on now try and understand
The way I feel when I'm in your hands
Take me now as the sun descends
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
They can't hurt you now
Because the night...
Your love is here and now
The vicious circle turns and burns without
Though I cannot live forgive me now
The time has come to take this moment and
They can't hurt you now
Because the night...
BROWN SUGAR
(Jagger/Richards 1971)
Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in New Orleans.
Scarred old slaver know he's doin' alright.
Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
Ah Brown Sugar how come you taste so good

CAN'T HELP FALLING IN LOVE
(by George Weiss - Hugo Peretti - Luigi Creatore)
Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you
DRIFT AWAY
(M. Willians)
Day after day I´m more confused
But I look for the light thru the pourin´rain
You know that´s a game that I hate to lose
I´m feeling the strain
Ain´t that a shame
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Beginnin´ to think that I´m wastin´ time
And I don´t understand the things i do
The world outside looks so unkind
I´m counting on you
To carry me thru
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I´m feeling blue
The guitars comin´ thru to soothe me
Thanks for the joy the you´ve given me
I want you to know I believe in the song
And rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You helped me along, you´re making me strong
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I want to get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
FEVER
(by John Davenport - Eddie Coole)
Never know how much I love you
Never know how much I care
When you put your arms around me
I get a fever that's so hard to bear
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night.
Ev'rybody's got the fever
that is something you all know
Fever isn't such a new thing
Fever started long ago
Sun lights up the daytime
Moon lights up the night
I light up when you call my name
And you know I'm gonna treat you right
You give me fever when you kiss me
Fever when you hold me tight
Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night
Romeo loved Juliet
Juliet she felt the same
When he put his arms around her
He said 'Julie, baby, you're my flame
Thou giv-est fever when we kisseth
Fever with the flaming youth
Fever I'm afair
Fever yea I burn for sooth'
Captain Smith and Pocahantas
Had a very mad affair
When her daddy tried to kill him
She said 'Daddy, o, don't you dare
He gives me fever with his kisses
Fever when he holds me tight
Fever, I'm his missus,
Oh daddy, won't you treat him right'
Now you've listened to my story
Here's the point that I have made
Chicks were born to give you fever
Be it fahrenheit or centigrade
They give you fever when you kiss them
Fever if you live and learn
Fever till you sizzle
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
What a lovely way to burn
GOIN' BACK
Well I think I'm goin' back to the place that I remember in my youth
I think I'm a-turning to days when I was young enough to know the truth
But now there are no games to help me pass the time
No more electric trains, no more hills to climb
I'm feeling you but growing older - that's no sin
And I can play this game called laugh to wiin
And I can recall the time when I was not afraid to reach out for a friend
And I can recall the the days when I had more than just a broken heart to mend
But now there's more to do than watch my sailboats fly
And every day can be a magic carpet ride
I guess a little bit of courage is all I lack
Hey London, catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
GOOD GOLLY MISS MOLLY
(R. Blackwell & J. Marascalco)
Good Golly Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.
From the early early mornin' till the early early night
You can see Miss Molly rockin' at the house of blue lights.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.
Well, now momma, poppa told me: "Son, you better watch your step."
If I knew my momma, poppa, have to watch my dad myself.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.
I am going to the corner, gonna buy a diamond ring.
Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen carat golden thing.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
Good golly, Miss Molly, sure like to ball.
When you're rockin' and a rollin' can't hear your momma call.
HELP
(Lennon - McCartney)
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
And now my life has changed in oh so many ways,
My independence seems to vanish in the haze.
But every now and then I feel so insecure,
I know that I just need you like I've never done before.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me.
When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody's help in any way.
But now these daya are gone, I'm not so self assured,
Now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me, get my feet back on the ground,
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, oh.
HELTER SKELTER
When you get to the bottom
You go back to the top of the slide
And you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Till you get to the bottom
Then you see me again
Do you, don't you want me to love you?
I'm coming down fast, but I'm miles above you
Tell me, tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Do you, don't you want me to make you?
Coming down fast I don't want me to break you
Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
Helter skelter
When you get to the bottom
you go back to the top of the slide
Where you stop and you turn
And you go for a ride
Till you get to the bottom
And I see you again

Coming down fast I'm right above you
Tell me , tell me, tell me the answer
You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer

HONKY TONK WOMEN
I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis,
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder,
Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.
(chorus)
It's the honky tonk women,
That gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.
I laid a divorcee in New York City,
I had to put up some kind of a fight.
The lady, then she covered me in roses,
She blew my nose and then she blew my mind.
(chorus)
HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN
The Animals
There is a house in New Orleans, they call the "Rising Sun",
it's been the ruin of many a poor girl,
and me, oh lord, I'm one.
My mother is a tailor, she sews those new blue jeans,
my husbend he's a gambling man,
drinks down in New Orleans.
My husband is a gambler, he goes from town to town,
the only time, he's satisfied, is when
he drinks his liquor down.
Go tell my baby sister, never do what I have done,
shun that house in New Orleans
they call the "Rising Sun".
One foot on the platform, the other's on the train,
I'm going back to New Orleans,
to wear that ball and chain.
Going back to New Orleans, my race is almost run,
I'm going to sped the rest of my life,
beneath that "Rising Sun".
HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN GOING ON
I could cry salty tears
Where have I been
All these years
Little wild, tell me now
How long has this been going on
There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet, I repeat
How long has this been going on
Oh I felt that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on
How long has this been going on
Oh I felt that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world
Kiss me once, then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break, for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on
How long has this been going on
Won't you tell me baby
Cause I've gotta know
Don't ask me why
To tell me it ain't so
So hear me now
I'm bleeding on my knees
How long has this been going on
How long has this been going on
I DON'T LIKE MONDAYS
(By Bob Geldof)
The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
Nobody's gonna go to school today,
She's gonna make them stay at home,
And Daddy doesn't understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down
The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world,
Her Mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Well sweet 16 ain't she peachy keen,
And it ain't so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I'm gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
I'll shoot it all down
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that
the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles
with the problems and the how's and why's
and he can see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh
And the silicon chip inside her head
gets switched to overload, oh
and nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And Daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he could see (no reasons)
'Cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like , I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like , I don't like
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why) I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down
I THANK YOU
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did.
And I thank you.
But you took your love to someone else
I wouldn't know what it meant to be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for help
You didn't have to squeeze it but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.
You didn't have to hold it but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.
Every day was something new,
You put on your bag and your fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you.
You didn't have to shake it but you did
But you did but you did
And I thank you.
You didn't have to make it like you did
but you did but you did
And I thank you.
All my life I've been shortchanged
Without your love baby it's a crying shame
But now I know what the fellas talking about
Hear me say that they been turned out
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Yes, I want to thank you
IT'S ONLY ROCK'N ROLL
(Jagger-Richards, 1974)
If I could stick a pen in my heart,
I would spill it all over the stage.
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
Would you think the boy is strange?
Ain't he strange?
If I could win ya, if I could sing ya
a love song so divine
would it be enough for your cheating heart
if I broke down and cried? If I cried?
I said I know it's only rock'n roll
but I like it
I know it's only rock'n roll
but I like it, like it, yes I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it.
I said can't you see that this old boy
has been a lonely
If I could stick a knife in my heart,
suicide right on stage,
would it be enough for your teenage lust,
would it help to ease the pain?
Ease your brain?
If I could dig down deep in my heart
feelings would flood the page
Would it satisfy ya, would it slide on by ya,
would ya think the boy's insane?
He's insane.
I said I know it's only rock'n roll
but I like it
I know it's only rock'n roll
but I like it, like it, yes I do
Oh, well, I like it, I like it.
I said can't you see that this old boy
has been a lonely
And do ya think that you're the only girl around?
I bet you think that you're the only woman in town.
I said I know it's only rock'n roll
but I like it....
JOHNNY B. GOOD
(by Chuck Berry)
When you're down in Louisiana go to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There's a little log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lives a country boy named Johnny B. Good
Who never learned to read or write at all
But he could play the guitar just like ringing a bell
Go, go, go Johnny go, go, go Johnny, go go
Go Johnny go, go, go Johnny go go
Johnny B. Good
Well his mama told him he would be a man
And you will be the leader of a big band
Many people coming from miles around
To hear your playing music when the sun goes down
Maybe someday you will be in lights saying Johnny B. Good
JUMPIN' JACK FLASH
(Jagger/Richards 1968)
I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas!
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash,
It's a gas! Gas! Gas!
LEVON
(By Elton John & Bernie Taupin)
Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
'Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town
Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say
Spend his days counting
In a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon
Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leaving Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today
MRS. ROBINSON
(Simon & Garfunkel)
And here's to you Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
God bless you please Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey....
We'd like to know a little bit about you for our files
We'd like to help you learn to help yourself
Look around you, all you see in sympathetic eyes
Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home
And here's to you Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
God bless you please Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey....
Hide it in a hiding place where no one ever goes
Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes
It's a little secret, just the Robinsons' affair
Most of all, you've got to hide it from the kids
Coo, coo, ca-choo, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know
God bless you please Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
Hey, hey, hey....
Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon
Going to the candidates debate
Laugh about it, shout about it
When you've got to schoose
Every way you look at it you lose
Where have you gone Mrs. Robinson
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you
What's that you say Mrs. Robinson
Joltin' Joe has left and gone away
Hey, hey, hey....
PAPA WAS A ROLLING STONE
The Temptations
It was the third of september
that day I´ll always remember,
yes I will.
´Cause that was the day that my daddy died,
I never got a chance to see him.
Never heard nothin´ but bad things about him.
Mama I´m depending on you,
tell me the truth.
Mama looked up an said:
Chorus:
Papa was a rolling stone, son.
Wherever he laid his hat was his home
and when he died all he left us alone.
Mama, is it true what they say,
that papa never worked a day in his life ?
And mama, there´s some bad talk goin´ round
that papa had three outside children and an other wife,
ain´t that right, hey.
Hears some talk about papa doin´ some store front preachin´
talkin´ about savin´ souls and all the time leachin´
Dealin´ in dirt and stealin´ in the name of the Lord.
Mama looked up and said son:
Chorus: -
I heard papa call himself a jack of all trades.
Tell me is that what sent papa to an early grave ?
Folks say papa would beg, borrow or steal to pay his bills.
Hey, mama, folks say papa never was much on thinkin´.
Spend most of his time chasin´ women and drinkin´,
Mama I´m depending on you to tell me the truth.
Mama looked up and said son:
Chorus: -
PLEASE COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

grief or pain
I'll be happy (happy) that it's
Christmas once again

ROCKIN' IN THE FREE WORLD
(Neil Young)
There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
SHOOTING STAR
Bad Company, 1975
Johnny was a school boy when he heard his first Beatles song
Love Me Do, I think it was and from there it didn't take him long
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night
Now he's in a rock & roll outfit, and everything's all right
Don't you know?
Johnny told his Momma, Hey Momma I'm goin' away
I'm gonna hit the big time, gonna be a big star someday
Momma came to the door with a tear drop in her eye
Johnny said, Don't cry Momma smile & wave goodbye
Don't you know, yeah, yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Johnny made a record, went straight up to number one
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song
Watching the world go by, surprisin' it goes so fast
Johnny looked around him and said, Well, I made the big time at last
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, woah yeah
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, yeah
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are, a shooting star
(guitar solo)
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, ahhh
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
And all the world will love you just as long
As long as you are
Johnny died one night, died in his bed
Bottle of whiskey, sleepin' tablets by his head
Johnny's life passed him by like a warm summer day
If you listen to the wind, you can still hear him play
Woah...
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you know
Don't you know that you are a shooting star
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you know
Don't you know you are a shooting star
THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN
Guess who just got back today,
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away,
Haven't changed, had much to say,
But man, I still think them cats are crazy.
They were askin' if you were around,
How you was, where you could be found.
Told them you were livin' downtown,
Drivin' all the old men crazy.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
You know that chick that used to dance a lot,
Every night, she'd be on the floor, shakin' what she's got.
Man, when I tell ya she was cool, she was red hot.
And that time over at Johnny's place,
Well, this chick, she got up and slapped Johnny's face,
Man, we just fell about the place,
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill,
Down at Deano's bar and grill
The drink will flow, and blood will spill,
And if the boys wanna fight you better let 'em.
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song,
The nights are gettin' warmer, it won't be long,
Won't be long 'til summer comes,
Now that the boys are here again.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.
The boys are back in town, the boys are back in town.

TUMBLING DICE
(Jagger & Richards)
Women think I'm tasty but they're always trying to waste me
And make me burn the candle right down
But baby, baby, I don't need no jewels in my crown
Cause all you women is low down gamblers
Cheating like I don't know how,
But baby, baby, there's fever in the funk house now
This low bitching got my poor feet a-itching
you know you know the duece is still wild
Baby I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumbling dice
Always in a hurry, I never stop to worry
Don't you see the time flashing by
Honey, got no money
I'm all sixes and sevens and nines
Say now, baby, I'm the rank outsider
You can be my partner in crime
Baby I can't stay, you got to roll me
And call me the tumbling,
Roll me and call me the tumbling dice
Oh my, my, my, I'm the lone crap shooter
Playing the field every night
Baby can't stay
You got to roll me and call me the tumbling dice
Roll me and call me the tumbling dice
Got to roll me, got to roll me
WALK THIS WAY
(Steven Tyler and Joe Perry)
Backstroke lover always hidin' 'neath the covers
"Gonna talk to you" my daddy say
said "you ain't seen nothin' till youre down on a muffin
and you're sure to be achangein' your ways"
I met a cheerleader
was a real young bleeder all the times I could reminisce
'cause the best things in lovin' with a sister and a cousin
only started with a little kiss alike this!
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin{ up in the air
I sing "Hey diddle diddle"
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn't care
took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play
was a me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
and I know'd love was here to stay
when she told me to
CHORUS
Walk this way, walk this way, walk this way
walk this way, walk this way
Uh, just gimme a kiss!
School girl skinny with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt's climbin' way up her knee,
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin' at me.
I was a high school loser, never made it with a lady
till the boys told me somethin' I missed,
then my next door neighbor with a daughter had a favor
so I gave her just a little kiss alike this!
CHORUS
Seesaw swingin' with the boys in the school
and your feet flyin' up in the air,
I sing "Hey diddle diddle"
with your kitty in the middle of the swing
like you didn't care.
So I took a big chance at the high school dance
with a missy who was ready to play,
was a me she was foolin'
'cause she knew what she was doin'
when she told me how to walk this way.
She told me to
CHORUS
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE
(Weil/Mann)
In this dirty old part of the city
Where the sun refused to shine
People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
Oh yes I know it
(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every night and day
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you
Now my girl you're so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it
Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'
Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah
He's been workin' and slavin' his life away
I know he's been workin' so hard
(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby
(Yeah!) Every day baby
(Yeah!) Whoa!
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)
We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do

If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
Girl, there's a better life for me and you
Believe me baby
I know it baby

WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS
(Lennon/McCartney)
What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends

(Does it worry you to be alone)
How do I feel by the end of the day
(Are you sad becaouse you're on your own
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends

I just need somebody to love
Could it be anybody

Could you believe in the love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn off the light
I can't tell you but I'm sure I feel nice
Oh, I'll get by with a little help from my friends
Yes, I'll get high with a little help from my friends

YOU KEEP ME HANGIN' ON
(Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Edward Holland, Jr.)
Set me free why don't you baby
Get out of my life why don't you baby
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
Why do you keep comin' around
Playing with my heart
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start
Let me get over you
The way you've gotten over me
You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul need to be free
Now that you've got your freedom baby
You wanna still hold onto me
You don't want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else
Why don't you be a man about it
And set me free
You don't care a thing about me
You're just using me
So get out get out get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
