Lyrics:
Ssshhh, ahh
Seems this world has got you down
Your feelin' bad vibrations 'round
Well, open your eyes girl
Look at me (look at me)
I'm gonna show you how it ought to be (ought to be)
We're gonna have a good thing
Such a good thing baby
And when your world don't seem just right
And life's gettin' you uptight
You can change that wrong to right (wrong to right)
'Cause I was there myself last night (there last night)

Girl, I really had a good thing
Such a good thing, baby
I, I, I won't have no one now
(No one around, to bring you down)

Well, it's groovy world, girl
Let me bring you to a (good, good, good, good thing)
Good thing, girl

Gotta hear me, you can't please them all, should you try
They don't care if you live or die
'Cause their losers, what a shame (cryin' shame)
I'm gonna show you to a brand new game (brand new game)

Girl, we're gonna have a good thing
Such a good thing, baby
I won't tell you no, no, no lies
When I'm through, you'll realize

For the first time it seems right (feels so right)
I'm gonna stay right here tonight (stay tonight)
Girl, we'll really have a good thing
Such a good thing, baby

Nobody (no one around, to bring you down)
Well, groovy world, girl
Let me bring you to a (good, good, good, good thing)
Such a good thing, girl

Such a good thing, baby
Such a, such a, such a good thing, baby

Lyrics:
If you want something to play with
Go and find yourself a toy
Baby, my time is too expensive
And I'm not a little boy

If you are serious
Don't play with my heart, it makes me furious
But if want me to love you
Then, baby, I will, girl, you know I will
Tell it like it is

Don't be ashamed to let your conscience be your guide
But I-I-I-I-I know deep down inside of me
I believe you love me, forget your foolish pride

You know life is too short to have sorrow
You may be here today and gone tomorrow
You might as well get what you want
So go on and live, baby, go on and live

Tell it like it is
I'm nothing to play with, go and find yourself a toy
But I-I-I-I-I
You know, tell it like it is
My time is too expensive
And I'm not your little boy
mmm tell it like it is

I Know I'm Losing You - Temptations

(I Know) I'm Losing You
Written by: Cornelius Grant, Eddie Holland, Norman Whitfield

Lyrics:
Your love is fading,
I can feel your love fading
Girl it's fading away from me
Cause your touch
Your touch has grown cold
As if someone else controls your very soul
I've fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man

It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Oh baby, I'm losing you
It's in the air
It's everywhere.
Oh baby I'm losing you (Losing you)

When I look into your eyes
A reflection of a face I see
I'm hurtin', downhearted and worried girl,
Cause that face doesn't belong to me
It's all over your face
Someone's taken my place
Oh baby, I'm losing you
You try hard to hide
The emptiness inside,
Oh I can tell I'm losing you.
I don't want to lose you

Oh, I can tell when we kiss
From the tenderness I miss
Oh, little girl I'm losing you
Girl I can feel it in my bones
In a day you'll be gone
Oh baby, I'm losing you
Oh my dear
What happened to the love we shared
Oh oh baby I'm losing you
I know it's true
There's someone new
Oh baby baby baby, I'm losing you

Snoopy Vs The Red Baron - Royal Guardsmen

Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron
Written by: Dick Holler, Phil Gernhard


to download this song click here

Lyrics:
After the turn of the century
In the clear blue skies over Germany
Came a roar and a thunder men had never heard
Like the scream and the sound of a big war bird

Up in the sky, a man in a plane
Baron von Richthofen was his name
Eighty men tried, and eighty men died
Now they're buried together on the countryside

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty or more
The Bloody Red Baron was rollin' out the score
Eighty men died tryin' to end that spree
Of the Bloody Red Baron of Germany

In the nick of time, a hero arose
A funny-looking dog with a big black nose
He flew into the sky to seek revenge
But the Baron shot him down--"Curses, foiled again!"

Now, Snoopy had sworn that he'd get that man
So he asked the Great Pumpkin for a new battle plan
He challenged the German to a real dogfight
While the Baron was laughing, he got him in his sight

That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight

Lyrics:
Like a long lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on

Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for ev'ryone
Where my poor restless heart's gotta run

There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Got to find me a place in the sun

Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on

Like this tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on

You know when times are bad
And you're feeling sad
I want you to always remember

Yes

Sugar Town
Written by: Lee Hazlewood

Lyrics:
I got some troubles but they won't last
I'm gonna lay right down here in the grass
And pretty soon all my troubles will pass
'Cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo sugar town

I never had a dog that liked me some
Never had a friend or wanted one
So, I just lay back and laugh at the sun
'Cause I'm in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo sugar town

Yesterday it rained in Tennessee
I heard it also rained in Tallahassee
But not a drop fell on little old me
'Cause I was in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo sugar town

If I had a million dollars or ten
I'd give to ya, world, and then
You'd go away and let me spend
My life in shoo-shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo-shoo
Shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo, shoo-shoo sugar town

La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la, la

Written by: Neil Diamond

Lyrics:
I thought love was only true in fairytales
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

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
But the more I gave the less I got
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
When I needed sunshine I got rain

Love was out to get me
Now that's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams

Oh 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

Yes I saw her face, now I'm a believer
Not a trace of doubt in my mind
Said I'm a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I'm a believer)
Said I'm a believer, yeah
(I'm a believer)
Said I'm a believer, yeah

Lyrics written by: Kelly Gordon, Dean Kay

Lyrics:
That's life, that's what people say
You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm back on top, back on top in June

I said, that's life, and as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks,
Stompin' on a dream
But I don't let it, let it get me down
'Cause this fine old world it keeps spinnin' around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself flat on my face
I pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, I tell ya, I can't deny it,
I thought of quitting, baby
But my heart just ain't gonna buy it
And if I didn't think it was worth one single try
I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate,
A poet, a pawn and a king
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing:
Each time I find myself layin' flat on my face,
I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life, that's life
And I can't deny it
Many times I thought of cuttin' out but my heart won't buy it
But if there's nothing shakin' come here this July
I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die
My, my

Written by: Brian Holland, Eddie Holland, Lamont Dozier

Lyrics:
As I stand alone on this moonful night
For the first time I feel alone in light
As I watch the moon kiss the starlit sky
I feel the need for your lips to press close to mine

For so long, I've been afraid to love
But right now, I feel the need for love
And you, you have a love
A love I need, oh to comfort me

Ooo and I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love

I've tried to shield my heart from love's tender touch
'Cause to lose in love would hurt so much
But as I softly walk in my solitude
I search my heart and found there's a need for you
And for the 1st time I feel alone
'Cause I need a love to call my own and only you
You have a love, a love I need, oh to comfort me

Ooo & I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
You know I'm ready for love
Your wonderful sweet sweet love
(I'm ready right now, I'm ready right now)

Ooo something wonderful has come over me
And fills this heart of mine with ecstasy
I'm glad I've finally opened up my eyes
And pushed the fear of love, the fear of love aside
And for the first time I feel alive
I have the touch of love deep down inside
And just as soon as I see your smiling face
I'll rush into your warm embrace

Right now I'm ready for love
I'm truly ready for love
Your wonderful sweet sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love
You know I'm ready for love
Your wonderful sweet sweet love
Right now I'm ready for love

Lyrics:
See the girl with cymbals on her fingers
Entering through the door
Rubies glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor
Bells on feet go ting a ling a ling ing
Going through my head
Sweat is falling just like a tear drop
Running from her head

Now she's dancing, going through the movements
Swaying to and fro
Body moving, bringing back a memory
Thoughts of long ago
Blood is rushing, temperature is rising
Sweating from my brow
Like a snake her body fascinates me
I can't look away now

Stop stop stop all the dancing
Give me time to breathe
Stop stop stop all the dancing
Or I'll have to leave

Now she's moving all around the tables
Luring all in sight
But I know that she cannot see me
Hidden by the light
Closer closer she is getting nearer
Soon she'll be in reach
As I enter into her spotlight
She stands lost for speech.

Now I hold her, people are staring
Don't know what to think
And we struggle. knocking over tables
Spilling all the drinks
Can't they understand that I want her
Happens every week
Heavy hand upon my collar
Throws me in the street

Lady Godiva - Peter and Gordon

Lady Godiva
Written by: Chas Mills, Mike Leander

Lyrics:
Seventeen, a beauty queen
She made a ride that caused a scene
In the town

Her long blonde hair
Hangin' down around her knees
All the cats who dig striptease
Prayin' for a little breeze
Her long blonde hair
Falling down across her arms
Hiding all the lady's charms
Lady Godiva

She found fame and made her name
A hollywood director came into town
And said to her
"How'd you like to be a star?"
"You're a girl that could go far"
"'specially dressed the way you are"
She smiled at him
Gave her pretty head a shake
That was Lady G's mistake
A-hey-hey-hey
Lady Godiva

He directs certificate 'X'
And people now are craning their necks
To see her
'cause she's a star
One that everybody knows
Finished with the striptease shows
Now she can't afford her clothes

Her long blonde hair
Lyin' on the barber's floor
Doesn't need it long anymore
Lady Godiva

Rain on the Roof - Lovin Spoonful

Rain on the Roof
Written by: John Sebastian

Lyrics:
You and me and rain on the roof
Caught up in a summer shower
Dryin' while it soaks the flowers
Maybe we'll be caught for hours
Waitin' out the sun

You and me were gabbin' away
Dreamy conversation sittin' in the hay
Honey, how long was I laughing in the rain with you
'Cause I didn't feel a drop 'til the thunder brought us to

You and me underneath the roof of tin
Pretty comfy feelin' how the rain ain't leakin' in
We can sit and dry just as long as it can pour
'Cause the way it makes you look makes me hope it rains some more

I'm Your Puppet - Dan Penn

I'm Your Puppet
Written by: Dan Penn, Spooner Oldham

Lyrics:
Pull the string and I'll wink at you
I'm your puppet
I'll do funny things if you want me to
I'm your puppet

I'll be yours to have and to hold
Darling you've got full control of your puppet

Pull another string and I'll kiss your lips
I'm your puppet
Snap your finger and I'll turn you some flips
I'm your puppet

Your every wish is my command
All you gotta do is wiggle your little hand
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

I'm just a toy, just a funny boy
That makes you laugh when you're blue
I'll be wonderful, do just what I'm told
I'll do anything for you
I'm your puppet, I'm your puppet

Just pull them little strings and I'll sing you a song
I'm your puppet
Make me do right or make me do wrong
I'm your puppet

Treat me good and I'll do anything
I'm just a puppet an you hold my string
I'm your puppet

Walking, talking, living, loving puppet
I'm hanging on a string
I'll do anything
I’ll hold you and kiss you and love you
Put me up, put me down
String me up, string me down
