Good Vibrations

Brian Wilson - Mike Love

© Sea Of Tunes, BMI

I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's givin' me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's givin' me excitations
Good good good good vibrations
She's givin' me excitations
Good good good good vibrations
She's givin' me excitations

Close my eyes
She's somehow closer now
Softly smile I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I'm pickin' up good vibrations...

The Long And Winding Road

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

The long and winding road that leads to your door
Will never disappear I've seen that road before
It always leads me here leads me to your door

The wild and windy night that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears crying for her day
And left me standing here let me know the way

Many times I've been alone many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back to the long winding road
You left me standing here a long long time ago
Don't leave me standing here lead me to your door

But still they lead me back to the long winding road
You left me standing here a long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here lead me to your door
To your door

Terry WilliamsSylvia's Mother

Shel Silverstein

© Evil Eye Music, BMI

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying to start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy so why don't you leave her alone
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes

Please Mrs Avery I just got to talk to her
I'll only keep her awhile
Please Mrs Avery I just wanna tell her goodbye

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packin' she's gonna be leavin' today
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marryin' a fellow down Galveston way
Sylvia's mother says please don't say nothing to make her start cryin' and stay
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes

Please Mrs Avery I just got to talk to her...

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurryin' she's catchin' the nine o'clock train
Sylvia's mother says take your umbrella cause Sylvia it's startin' to rain
Sylvia's mother says thank you for callin' and sir won't you call back again
And the operator says forty cents more for the next three minutes

Please Mrs Avery I just got to talk to her...
Tell her goodbye tell her goodbye

Paperback Writer

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

Paperback writer

Dear Sir or Madam will you read my book
It took me years to write will you take a look
It's based on a novel by a man named Lear
And I need a job so I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

It's a dirty story of a dirty man
And his clinging wife doesn't understand
His son is working for the Daily Mail
It's a steady job so I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

Paperback writer

It's a thousand pages give or take a few
I'll be writing more in a week or two
I could make it longer if you like the style
I can change it round and I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer

If you really like it you can have the rights
It could make a million for you overnight
If you must return it you can send it here
But I need a break and I wanna be a paperback writer
Paperback writer
Paperback writer

Paperback writer paperback
Paperback writer paperback
Paperback writer paperback

Get Back

John Lennon - Paul McCartney

© Maclen Music, BMI

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner but he knew it couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson Arizona for some California grass

Get back get back get back to where you once belonged
Get back get back get back to where you once belonged

Get back get back get back to where you once belonged...

Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman but she was another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming but she gets it while she can

Get back get back get back to where you once belonged...
[ instrumental ]
Get back get back get back to where you once belonged...

Jojo was a man who thought he was a loner but he knew it couldn't last...
Get back get back get back to where you once belonged...
Get back get back get back to where you once belonged...

Jim HassellBorder Song (Holy Moses)

Bernie Taupin - Elton John

© Dick James Music, BMI

Holy Moses I have been removed
I have seen the spectre he has been here too
Distant cousin from down the line
A brand of people who ain't my kind
Holy Moses I have been removed

Holy Moses I have been deceived
Now the wind has changed direction and I'll have to leave
Won't you please excuse my frankness but it's not my cup of tea
Holy Moses oh I have been deceived
Holy Moses oh I have been deceived

I'm going back to the border
Where my affairs my affairs ain't abused
Bo I can't take any more bad water
I been poisoned from my head down to my shoes

Holy Moses Holy Moses won't ya let us live in peace
Let us all strive to find a way to let all hatred cease
There's a man over there oh what's his color we don't care
He's my brother oh let us live in peace
Sing it children
He's my brother oh let us live in peace
Come on now
He's my brother oh let us let us live in peace

I Need You

Gerry Beckley

© WB Music, ASCAP

Used to laugh used to cry
Used to bow our heads and wonder why
Now you're gone I guess I'll carry on
Make the best of what you've left to me
Left to me left to me

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you like the winter needs the spring
You know I need you I need you
[ instrumental ]
Every day I'd laugh the hours away
Just knowing you were thinking of me
Then it came thought I was put to blame
For every story told about me
About me about me

I need you like the flower needs the rain
You know I need you guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you I need you I need you
Like the winter needs the spring you I need you
guess I'll start it all again
You know I need you I need you I need you

Coconut

Harry Nilsson

© Beechwood Music, BMI

Brother bought a coconut he bought it for a dime
His sister had another one she paid it for a lime

She put the lime in the coconut she drank it all up
She put the lime in the coconut she drank it all up
She put the lime in the coconut she drank it all up

She put the lime in the coconut called the doctor woke him up
And said Doctor ain't there nothin' I can take
I say doctor to relieve this bellyache
I say doctor ain't there nothin' I can take
I say doctor to relieve this bellyache
Now let me get this straight

She put the lime in the coconut she drank it all up...
She put the lime in the coconut called the doctor woke him up...
She put the lime in the coconut she drank it all up...
[ instrumental ]
Brother bought a coconut he bought it for a dime...
She put the lime in the coconut she drank it all up...

Mary ArnoldMorning Has Broken

Cat Stevens - Eleanor Farjeon

© Beechwood Music, BMI

Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word

Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven
Like the first dew fall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where God's feet pass

Mine is the sunlight Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play
Praise with elation praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
