11. NOBODY'S CHILD
(Hank Williams Jr)
performed by Tony Sheridan with the Beatles.

As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
I stopped for just a little while to watch the children playing.
Alone a boy was standing, and when I asked him why
He turned with eyes that couldn't see, and he began to cry.

I'm a nobody's child,
I'm a nobody's child,
Just like the flowers, I am growing wild.
I've got no mammy's kisses, I've got no, no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants me, I'm a nobody's child,

No mammy's arms to hold me
Or soothe me when I cry, I wish that I could die
'Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome
I wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of heaven
Where all the blind can see.
And just like the other kids there'd be a home for me.

I'm a nobody's child,
I'm a nobody's child,
Just like the flowers, I am growing wild.
I've got no mammy's kisses, I've got no, no daddy's smile.
Nobody wants me, I'm a nobody's child.

12. READY TEDDY
(Blackwell/Marascalco)
performed by Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers.

Ready, set, go man go,
I got a girl that I love so,

I'm ready, ready, ready teddy,
I'm ready, ready, ready teddy,
I'm ready, ready, ready teddy,
I'm ready, ready, ready to rock'n'roll.

Going to the corner, pick up my sweetie pie,
She's my rock'n'roll baby, she's the apple of my eye,

All the flat top cats and the dungaree dolls,
Are headed for the gym to the sock hop ball,
The joint is really jumpin', the cats are going wild,
The music really sends me, I dig that crazy style,

Gonna kick off my shoes, roll up my faded jeans,
Grab my rock'n'roll baby, pour on the steam,
I shuffle to the left, I shuffle to the right,
Gonna rock'n'roll to the early, early night.

13. YA YA (part 1+2)
(Robinson/Dorsey/Lewis)
performed by Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers.

Sitting in the La La
Waiting for the Ya Ya, uh huh

Sitting in the La La
Waiting for the Ya Ya, uh huh

It may sound funny
But it's alright honey, uh huh

Hey baby worry, don't make worry, uh huh
Hey baby hurry, don't make worry, uh huh

14. KANSAS CITY
(Hank Ballard)
performed by Tony Sheridan and the Beat Brothers.

I`m going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
I`m going to Kansas City
Kansas City here I come
They got a crazy way of loving there
And I`m gonna get me some

I`m gonna be standing on the corner
On the corner of Twelth Street and Vine
I`ll be standing on the corner
On the corner of Twelth Street and Vine
With my Kansas City baby
The one I call Miss KC fine

Well I might take a train
I might take a plane
But if I have to walk
I`m going there just the same.
