1. NO REPLY
(Lennon/McCartney)

This happened once before when I came to your door
No reply.
They said it wasn't you but I saw you've peep through your window.
I saw the light !
I saw the light !
I know that you saw me cause I looked up to see your face.
I tried to telephone, they said you were not home
That's a lie !
Cause I know where you've been, I saw you walk in your door.
I nearly died !
I nearly died !
'Cause you walked hand in hand with another man
In my place.

If I were you
I'd realize that I love you more than every other guy,
And I'll forgive the lies that I heard before, when you gave me no reply

No reply !
No reply !


2. I'M A LOSER
(Lennon/McCartney)

I'm a loser
And I've lost something who's near to me.

Of all the love I have won or I have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million my friend
I should have known she would win in the end.

I'm a loser !
And I've lost something who's near to me.
I'm a loser !
And I'm not what I appear to be.

Although I laugh and I act like a clown,
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown.
My tears are falling like rain from the sky,
Is it for her or myself that I cry ?

What have I done to deserve such a fate ?
I realize I have left it too late.
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall,
I'm telling you so you won't lose all. And I'm not what I appear to be.


3. BABY'S IN BLACK
(Lennon/McCartney)

Oh ! Dear, what can I do ?
Baby's in black, and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me oh, what can I do ?

She thinks of him,
And so she dresses in black,
And though he'll never come back,
She's dressed in black.

I think of her,
But she thinks only of him,
And though it's only a whim,
She thinks of him.

Oh, how long will it take,
Till she sees her mistake she has made.

4. ROCK'N ROLL MUSIC
(Chuck Berry)

Just let me hear some of that rock'n'roll music,
And any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me.

I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it sounds just like a symphony.

That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
And any old way you choose it
It's got a backbeat you can't lose it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me.

I took my loved one over cross the tracks
So she can hear my man avail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band man
They were goin' like a hurricane !
Way down south they gave a jubilee
They're drinking home brew from a watercup
The folks dancin' got all shook up !

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to gear a mambo
It's way too early for a congo
So keep rockin' that piano !

So I can gear some of that rock'n'roll music


5. I'Ll FOLLOW THE SUN
(Lennon/McCartney)

One day you'll look
To see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain
So I'll follow the sun.

Someday you'll know
I was the one
But tomorrow may rain
So I'll follow the sun.

One day you'll find
That I have gone,
But tomorrow may rain,
So I'll follow the sun.

And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you will know.


6. MR MOONLIGHT
(Johnson)

Mr Moonlight !

You came to me a summer night
And from your beam you sent my dream.
And from the world you sent my girl
And from above you sent us love.

And she's mine
I think you fine
'cos we love you.
Mr Moonlight !

Mr Moonlight,
Come again please
Here I am on my knees, begging if you please
And the nights you don't come my way
I'll pray and pray more each day
'cos we love you...

Mr Moonlight !

(Lennon/McCartney)

Ooooh I need your love babe,
Guess you know it's true
Hope you need my love babe,
Just like I need you !

Hold me, love me,
Hold me, love me,
I ain't got nothing but love girl,
Eight days a week !

Love you everyday girl
Always on my mind
One thing I can say girl
Love you all the time.

Eight days a week !
I love you
Eight days a week !
Is not enough to show I care !


9. WORDS OF LOVE
(Buddy Holly)

Hold me close and tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you.
Let me hear you say the words I long to hear
Darling when you're near.
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you.


10. HONEY DON'T
(Carl Perkins)

Well how come you say you will when you won't
Say you do, baby, when you don't
Let me know, honey, how you feel
Tell the truth, now is love real

But ah-ah
well, honey don't
honey don't
I say you will when you don't
ah-ah, honey don't

Well I love you baby and you oughta know
I like the way that you wear your clothes
Everything about you is so doggone sweet
you got that sand all over your feet

Well sometimes I love you on a Saturday night
Sunday morning you don't look right
You been out painting the town
ah-ha, baby been stepping around


11. EVERY LITTLE THING
(Lennon/McCartney)

When I'm walking beside her
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes I know I'm a lucky guy.

I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Yes I'm thinking about her now.

Every little thing she does, she does for me, yeah !
And you know the things she does, she does for me, yeah !

When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me.
Yes I know that she loves me now.

There is one thing I'm sure of,
I will love her forever,
For I know love will never die.

12. I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL THE PARTY
(Lennon/McCartney)

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show.
There's nothing for me here,
So I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone, please let me know.

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong
I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her.


13. WHAT YOU'RE DOING
(Lennon/McCartney)

Look what you're doing
I'm feeling blue and lonely,
Would it be too much to ask of you
what you're doing to me ?

You got me running,
And there's no fun in it
Why should it be so much to ask of you
what you're doing to me ?

Please stop your lying
You got me crying girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
what you're doing to me ?

I've been waiting here for you,
Wond'ring what you're gonna do
Should you need a love that's true,
It's me.


14. EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO BE MY BABY
(Carl Perkins)

Well they took some honey from a tree,
Dressed it up and they called it me
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby now !

Woke up last night, half past four,
Wicked women knocking at my door
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby now !

Went out last night, I didn't stay late
Called her home had a nice teen date.
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby now !
