verse 1
One, two, three, four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That was what my youth was for
Oh teenage hopes are lying at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more
Ohohoh
You're changing your heart
Ohohoh
You know who you are
verse 2
Sweetheart bitter heart
Now I can't tell you apart
Cozy and cold
Put the horse before the cart
Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
Yes ’n’ how many seas must a white dove sail,
Before she sleeps in the sand?
Yes ’n’ how many times must the cannonballs fly,
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?
Yes ’n’ how many ears must one man have,
Before he can hear people cry?
Yes ’n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Pretending he just doesn’t see?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Brown Eyed GirlVan Morrison
Hey, where did we go? Days when the rains came.
Down in the hollow playin' a new game.
Laughing and a- running, hey hey, Skipping and a- jumping.
In the misty morning fog with our hearts a-thumping and you,
My brown-eyed girl.
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow,
Going down the old mine with a transistor radio.
Standing in the sunlight laughing, hiding 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 te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

So hard to find my way, 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; sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout
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 te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (repeat and fade)

Lord Almighty
I feel my temperature rising
Higher, higher
It's burning through to my soul
Girl, girl, girl
You've gone and set me on fire
My brain is flaming
I don't know which way to go
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky
With burning love
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
I feel my temperature rising
Help me, I'm flaming
I must be a hundred and nine
Burning, burning
Burning and nothing can cool me
I just might turn to
Smoke, but I feel fine

My chest is a heaving

I'm burning a hole where I lay
Your kisses lift me higher
Like the sweet song of a choir
You light my morning sky

verse 2
Now, Cupid if your arrow make her love strong for me
I promise I will love her until eternity
I know between the two of us her heart we can steal
Help me if you will, so...
Cupid, draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me, nobody but me
Cupid, please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me.
outro
Now, Cupid, don't you hear me, calling you?
I need you, Cupid ↓

Don't Get Around Much, AnymoreDuke Ellington, Bob Russell
verse 1
Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore
verse 2
Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore
Darling I guess my mind's more at ease
But neverthe less, why stir up memories
verse 3
Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

verse 1
Well I guess it would be nice, if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like you.
But I’ve got to think twice before I give my heart away,
And I know all the games you play, because I play them too.
Oh but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor, oh
When that love comes down with out devotion, oh well it
Takes a strong man baby but I’m showin’ you the door
Because I gotta have faith, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith faith faith, I gotta have faith.
verse 2
Baby, I know you’re asking me to stay
Say please, please, please don’t go away,
You say I’m giving you the blues.
Maybe, huh, you mean every word you say
I can’t help but think of yesterday
And a lover who tied me down to the lover boy rules
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you throw my heart back on the floor,
Oh, oh baby I’ll reconsider my foolish notion
Well I need someone to hold me but I’ll
Wait for something more...
Because I gotta have faith, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith faith faith, I gotta have faith.

Folsom Prison BluesJohnny Cash
I hear the train a comin’, it's rollin’ round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when.
I'm stuck at Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on,
But that train keeps rolling on down to San An-tone.
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.
KAZOO VERSE!!!
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car.
They're probably drinkin’ coffee and smoking big cigars.
But I know I had it coming 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 on 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 a-way.

To watch them old Blue Ridge Mountains climb,
When I ride old Number Nine.

Down at the end of Chestnut Street
Where I can hear old Number Nine,
As she comes down the line.

HallelujahLeonard Cohen
picking: (1+4)23
I heard there was a secret chord,
That David played and it pleased the lord.
But you dont really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah,
Hallelu jah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

I know this room and I've walked this floor,
I used to live alone before I knew ya
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
No, it's a cold and very broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu jah
I did my best, but it wasn't much
I couldn't feel so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelu jah

The Hockey Song (The Good Old HockeyGame)Stompin' Tom Connors (1973)
strum |: d D u d u D u :| 1 2 & 3 & 4 &
Hello out there we're on the air, it's hockey night tonight.
Tension grows the whistle blows and the puck goes down the ice.
The goalie jumps and the players bump, and the fans all go insane.
Someone roars Bobby scores at the good old hockey game.
Oh! The good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
"2nd period!"
Where players dance with skates that flash, the home team trails behind.
But they grab the puck and go bursting up, and they're down across theline.
They storm the crease like bumblebees, they travel like a burning flame.
We see them slide the puck inside, it's a one one hockey game.
Oh! The good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game

"3rd period, last game of the playoffs too!"
Take me where those hockey players face off down the rink
And the Stanley cup is all filled up, for the champs who win the drink.
Now the final flick of a hockey stick, and one gigantic scream.
The puck is in the home team wins, the good old hockey game.
repeat x3
Oh! The good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game
Scream: "He shoots ... He scores!"

Hotel CaliforniaThe Eagles (1977)
capo on 2nd fret
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
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 place) Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year) You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffanytwisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget.
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixtynine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night just to hear them say ...

And all the amaama comea swimming to me

Oh we're going to a hukilau,

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town

I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me
Well I'm just a slave unto the night
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life, I bet my life on you

I've been around the world but never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies but now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me

I Walk the LineJohnny Cash
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine.
I keep my eyes wide open all the time.
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds.
Because you’re mine I walk the line.
I find it very very easy to be true.
I find my-self alone when day is through.
Yes, I’ll ad-mit that I’m a fool for you.
Because you’re mine I walk the line.
As sure as night is dark and day is light.
I keep you on my mind both day and night.
And happi-ness I’ve known proves that it’s right.
Because you’re mine I walk the line.
You’ve got a way to keep me on your side.
You give me cause for love that I can’t hide.
For you I know I’d even try to turn the tide.
Because you’re mine I walk the line.

I have never known the likes of this I've been alone and I have missed

King of the RoadRoger Miller
intro:
Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let fifty cents.
No phone no pool no pets; I ain't got no cigarettes.
Ah, but, two hours of pushing broom,
Buys a eight by twelve four bit room.
I'm a, man of means, by no means. King of the road.
Third box car midnight train, destination Bangor Maine.
Old worn out suit and shoes, I don't pay no union dues.
I smoke, old stogies I have found,
Short but not too big around.
I'm a, man of means, by no means. King of the road
Bridge
I know every engineer on every train,
All of the children and all of their names.
And every handout in every town,
And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around, I sing,

Last Saskatchewan PirateThe Arrogant Worms (1992), Captain Tractor (1995), Brad Johner (2003)
Well I used to be a farmer and I made a living fine
I had a little stretch of land along the CP line
But times went by and though I tried the money wasn't there
And bankers came and took my land and told me "Fair is fair"
I looked for every kind of job the answer always "No",
"Hire you now" they'd always laugh, "We just let twenty go!"
The government, they promised me a measley little sum,
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum!
bridge
Then I ↓thought who gives a damn if all the jobs are ↓gone,
↓I'm gonna be a pirate, on the river Saskatchewan!
'Cause it's a heaveho, hiho, comin' down the plains,
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains,
It's a hohey, hihey, farmers bar yer doors,
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
Well you think the local farmers would know that I'm at large,
But just the other day I found an unprotected barge,
I snuck up right behind them and they were none the wiser,
I rammed the ship and sank it and I stole their fertilizer
A bridge outside of Moose Jaw spans the mighty river,
Farmers cross in so much fear their stomach's are a quiver,
'Cause they know that Tractor Jack is hiding in the bay,
I'll jump the bridge and knock em cold and sail off with their hay!

verse 3
Well Mountie Bob he chased me, he was always at my throat,
He'd follow on the shorelines 'cause he didn't own a boat,
But cutbacks were a comin' so the Mountie lost his job,
So now he's sailin' with me and we call him Salty Bob!
A swingin' sword, a skull and bones, and pleasant company,
I never pay my income tax and screw the GST (SCREW IT!)
Sailin' down to Saskatoon, the Terror of the Sea,
If you wanna reach the Coop boy you gotta get by me!
'Cause it's a heaveho, hiho, comin' down the plains,
Stealin' wheat and barley and all the other grains,
It's a hohey, hihey, farmers bar yer doors,
When you see the Jolly Roger on Regina's mighty shores.
verse 4
Well pirate life's appealing, but you don't just find it here,
I've heard that in Alberta there's a band of buccaneers,
They roam the Athabasca from Smith to Port McKay,
And you're gonna lose your Stetson if you have to pass their way.
Well winter is a comin' and a chill is in the breeze,
My pirate days are over once the river starts to freeze,
I'll be back in spring time, but now I have to go,
I hear there's lots of plundering down in New Mexico!

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn
The taxi's waitin he's blowin his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around

Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of tickytacky,
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one,
And they're all made out of tickytacky
And they all look just the same.

All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness, she is
standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people,
living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
But though they may be parted, there is
still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be

verse 1
If you should ask any girl from the parish around
What pleases her most from her head to her toes
She’ll say: I’m not sure that it’s business of yours
But I do like to waltz with a log driver
For he goes birling down, adown white water
That’s where the log driver learns to step lightly
It’s birling down, adown white water
A log drivers waltz pleases girls completely
verse 2
When the drive’s nearly over, I like to go down
To see all the lads while they work on the river
I know that come evening they’ll be in the town
And we all want to waltz with a log driver
For he goes birling down, adown white water
That’s where the log driver learns to step lightly
It’s birling down, adown white water
A log driver’s waltz pleases girls completely

To please both my parents, I’ve had to give way
And dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers
Their manners are fine, but their feet are of clay
For there’s none with the style of my log driver
For he goes birling down, adown white water
That’s where the log driver learns to step lightly
It’s birling down, adown white water
A log driver’s waltz pleases girls completely
verse 4
Now I’ve had my chances with all sorts of men
But none as so fine as my lad on the river
So when the drive’s over, if he asks me again
I think I will marry my log driver
For he goes birling down, adown white water
That’s where the log driver learns to step lightly
It’s birling down, adown white water
A log driver’s waltz pleases girls completely
Birling down, adown white water
A log driver’s waltz pleases girls completely

Nibblin' on sponge cake, watchin' the sun bake,
All of those tourists covered with oil,
Strummin' my fourstring, on my front porch swing,
Smell those shrimp, they're beginning to boil
Wastin' away again in Margaitaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know, it's nobody's fault.
verse 2
I don't know the reason, I stay here all season,
Nothin' is sure but this brand new tatoo,
But it's a real beauty, a Mexican cutie,
How it got here, I haven't a clue
Wastin' away again in Margaitaville
Searching 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.

Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
But I know, it's my own damned fault
Some people claim that there's a woman to blame,
And I know, it's my own damned fault.

Monster MashBobby Pickett
verse 1
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
(He did the mash.) He did the monster mash.
(The monster mash.) It was a graveyard smash.
(He did the mash.) It caught on in a flash.
(He did the mash.) He did the monster mash.
verse 2
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
(They did the mash.) They did the monster mash.(The monster mash.) It was a graveyard smash.(They did the mash.) It caught on in a flash.(They did the mash.) They did the monster mash.

(They played the mash.) They played the monster mash.(The monster mash.) It was a graveyard smash.(They played the mash.) It caught on in a flash.(They played the mash.) They played the monster mash.
verse 5
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ringSeems he was troubled by just one thingHe opened the lid and shook his fistAnd said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist"?
(It’s now the mash.) It’s now the monster mash.(The monster mash.) And it’s a graveyard smash.(It’s now the mash.) It’s caught on in a flash.(It’s now the mash.) It’s now the monster mash.
verse 6
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the bandAnd my Monster Mash is the hit of the landFor you, the living, this mash was meant tooWhen you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
(Then you can mash.) Then you can monster mash.(The monster mash.) And do my graveyard smash.(Then you can mash.) You'll catch on in a flash.(Then you can mash.) Then you can monster mash.

MoondanceVan Morrison
intro
verse 1
Well it's a marvelous night for a moondance
with the stars up a-bove in your eyes
A fan-tabulous night to make romance
'neath the colour of October skies
All the leaves on the trees are falling
to the sounds of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to place to the calling
of the heartstrings that play soft and low
You know the night’s magic
seems to whisper and hush.
You know the soft moonlight
seems to shine,
in your blush.
Can I just have one more moon-dance with you my love
Can I just make some more ro-mance with you my love

Well I want to make love to you tonight,
I can’t wait till the morning has come
And I know that the time will be just right
and straight into my arms you will run
When you come my heart will be waiting
to be sure that you’re never a-lone
There and then all my dreams will come true dear,
there and then I will make you my own
And every time I touch you,
you just tremble in-side
Then I know how much you want me,
that
you can’t hide
Can I just have one more moon-dance with you my love
Can I just make some more ro-mance with you my love

Octopus’s GardenThe Beatles
verse 1
I’d like to be, under the sea,
In an octopus’s garden in the shade.
He’d let us in, knows where we’ve been,
In his octopus’s garden in the shade.
I’d ask my friends to come and see,
An octopus’s garden with me.
I’d like to be, under the sea,
In an octopus’s garden in the shade.
verse 2
We would be warm, below the storm,
In our little hideaway beneath the waves.
Resting our head, on the sea bed,
In an octopus’s garden near a cave.
We would sing and dance around,
Because we know we can’t be found.
I’d like to be, under the sea,
In an octopus’s garden in the shade.

I’d like to be, under the sea,

On the road again.
Just can’t wait to get on the road again.
The life I love is making music with my friends,
And I can’t wait to get on the road again.

On the road again.
Goin’ places that I’ve never been.
Seeing things that I may never see again,
And I can’t wait to get on the road again.
On the road again,
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway.
We’re the best of friends,
Insisting that the world keeps turning our way,
And our way ...

verse 1
Pearly shells from the ocean
Shining in the sun
Covering the shore
When I see them
My heart tells me that I love you
More than all the little pearly shells
For ev'ry grain of sand, upon the beach
I've got a kiss for you
And I've got more left over, for each star
That twinkles in the blue

Rainbow ConnectionKermit the Frog
verse 1
Why are there so many songs about rainbows,
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions.
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they’re wrong. Wait and see.
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.
verse 2
Who said that every wish would be heard and answered
when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing and keeps us stargazing?
And what do we think we might see?
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Some day we'll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers, and me.

Ring of FireJohnny Cash
Love is a burning thing,
And it makes a fiery ring.
Bound by wild de-sire,
I fell into a ring of fire.
I fell in to a burning ring of fire.
I went down, down, down,
And the flames went higher.
And it burns, burns, burns,
The ring of fire,
The ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet,
When hearts like ours meet.
I fell for you like a child,
Oh but the fire went wild.

Swingin' On A StarJimmy Van Heusen & Johnny Burke
strum: |: d D u d D u :| (weak Strong and, 1 2 & 3 4 & )
intro (play chorus: just ukes, no vocal)
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 but his brain is weak
He's 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.
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 pig?
A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's 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.

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 fish?
A fish won't do anything but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's 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 the zoo
Everyday you see quite a few
So you see it's all up to you.
You can be better than you are.
You can be swinging on a star

Take Me Home, Country RoadsJohn Denver (1971)
capo: 2nd fret
verse 1
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
Life is old there, older than the trees,
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain mama,
Take me home, country roads.
verse 2
All my mem'ries, gather 'round her,
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain mama,
Take me home, country roads.

I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me,
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
And drivin' down the road,
I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday,
yesterday.
Country roads, take me home,
To the place I belong:
West Virginia, mountain mama,
Take me home, country roads.
Take me home, country roads.
Take me home, down country ↓roads.

Tennessee Waltzverse 1
I was waltzing, with my darlin’,
To the Tennessee Waltz,
When an old friend I happened
To see.
Introduced him to my loved one,
And while they were waltzing,
My friend stole my sweetheart
From me.
verse 2
I remember the night
And the Tennessee Waltz.
Now I know just how much I
Have lost.
Yes I lost my little darlin’
The night they were playing
The beautiful Tennessee Waltz.

Ukulele LadyKahn & Whiting, 1925
vamp: ...
I saw the splendor of the moonlight
On Hono- lu- lu Bay
There’s something tender in the moonlight
On Hono- lu- lu Bay
And all the beaches, are full of peaches
Who bring their ukes a-long
And in the glimmer of the moonlight
They like to sing this song.
If you like a Ukulele Lady, a Ukulele Lady like-a you,
If you like to linger where it’s shady, a Ukulele Lady linger too.
If you kiss a Ukulele Lady, while you promise ever to be true,
And if she see a-nother Uku-lele Lady fool a-round with you,
May–be she’ll sigh (an awful lot)
May–be she’ll cry (or maybe not)
Maybe she’ll find somebody else, by and by and by
To sing to when it’s cool and shady, where the tricky Wicki Wackies woo,
If you like a Ukulele Lady, a Ukulele Lady like-a you,

She used to sing to me by moonlight
On Hono- lu- lu Bay
My mem’ries cling to me by moonlight
Although I’m far a-way
Someday I’m going, where eyes are glowing,
And lips are made to kiss
To meet somebody in the moonlight
To hear that song I miss.
If you like a Ukulele Lady, a Ukulele Lady like-a you,
If you like to linger where it’s shady, a Ukulele Lady linger too.

And I'm thumbin' my way into North Caroline
Starin' up the road and pray to God I see headlights.
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours
Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a hopin' for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight.
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel
Rock me mama any way you feel
Hey, mama rock me.
Rock me mama like the wind and the rain
Rock me mama like a southbound train
Hey, mama rock me.
verse 2
Runnin' from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an oldtime stringband
My baby plays the guitar I pick a banjo now>
Oh, the North country winters keep a gettin' me now
Lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a turnin' back to livin' that old life no more.

we’ll take a cup o’ kindness ,
for auld lang syne

Here Comes Santa Clausverse 1
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
Pullin' on the reins
Bells are ringin', children singin'
All is merry and bright
Hang your stockings and say your prayers
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!
verse 2
Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus,
Right down Santa Claus lane
He's got a bag that's filled with toys
For boys and girls again
Hear those sleigh bells jingle jangle,
Oh what a beautiful sight
So jump in bed and cover your head
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight!

Joy to the Worldverse 1
Joy to the world! The Lord is come;
Let earth re-ceive her King;
Let ev-’ry heart prepare Him room,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and nature sing,
And heaven and heaven and na-ture sing.
verse 2
Joy to the world! the Sav-iour reigns;
Let men their songs em-ploy;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Re-peat the sounding joy,
Re-peat, repeat the sound-ing joy.
verse 3
No more let sins and sorrows grow,Nor thorns infest the ground;He comes to make His blessings flowFar as the curse is found,Far as the curse is found,Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,And makes the nations proveThe glories of His righteousness,And wonders of His love,And wonders of His love,And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Round yon virgin, mother and child,
Holy infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace

Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Halleluia

Radiant beams from thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace

Silver BellsJay Livingston and Ray Evans
verse 1
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks, dressed in holiday style
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile.
And on every street corner, you hear
Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time in the city.
Ringaling, hear them ring.
Soon it will be Christmas Day.
verse 2
Strings of street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers run home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, this is Santa’s big scene
And above all the bustle, you hear
Silver bells, silver bells, it’s Christmas time in the city.
Ringaling, hear them ring.
Soon it will be Christmas Day.
