"Que Sera Sera"

"Que Sera Sera"



When I was just a little boy
I asked my mama, what will I be
Will I be handsome, will I be rich
Here's what she said to me.

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera
"Now you sing it"

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera

Que Sera, Sera, "Sing With Me!"
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Que Sera, Sera

Que Sera, Sera,
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours, to see
Girl screaming, I LOVE YOU
Que Sera
Que Sera
Que Sera, Seeraaaaah

"Radio"

"Radio"



Well, I got a girl whose as cute as can be
She never plays no attention to me
She lives her life in a world full of stereo
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
That's all

Well I take her to the movies and it's just the same
We just get cozy and it's on again
Listen on the headphones tuned into her favourite show, ooh ooh
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All day long

I whisper sweet nothings inside her ear
But when I get close all I ever hear
Some cool DJ telling me it's gonna show, ooh ooh
Doesn't seem to be a way of getting inside her head
She talks to me when it's only if the battery's dead
But then she keeps a spare and it's back to rock and roll, oh yeah
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
That's all she ever wanna do

I got a girl whose as cute as can be
She never pays no attention to me
She lives her life in a world full of stereo, ooh ooh
She's a hopeless case and I don't know what I can do
I rack my brains while she sings out of tune
Well she's switching me off and one of these days I'm gonne go, yeah
'Cos all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio

All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Yeah, all she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio
Radio
All she ever wanna do is listen to the radio.

The cats are going wild
The music really sends me
I dig that crazy style 'cause

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'm gonna rock'n'roll
Till the early early night 'cause

"Rebound"
(originally by Charlie Rich)



Look out baby I'm after you
You done something to me that you ought not do
Played me up and now you've made me blue
And I'm lonely
Well, I guess I'm on the rebound
That's what people say
I lost the only one I found
Who can make me feel this way
Yeah, and I'm lonely over you
Well, look out baby, better change your ways
You done something to me that's drivin' me crazy
Catch up with you one of these days
'Cause I'm lonely
Yeah, I guess I'm on the rebound
Guess I've lost my touch
You're the only one for me
And I love you much too much
And I'm lonely over you
You oughta be ashamed of yourself
Treatin' me this way
Didn't know what it was all about
But I'm gonna find out someday
Yeah, you better look out baby
Gonna make you mad
You're gonna miss me and the things you had
Hate to say it, but I'll be so glad
When you're lonely
Yeah, then you'll be on the rebound

You'll lose the only one you found
Who could make you feel this way

"Revenue Man"

"Revenue Man"



Well I was sent to a place
Down in North Carolina
To check up on a moonshine still
But when I got there to my surprise
I could see a little light on the hill
Well the fire was a-glowin’
Already I was know
That I was really hot on the track
But the NVC said it couldn’t be me
Yeah I’ll be the one to bring it back

Cause I’m a revenue man, yes a revenue man
I got a badge on my pocket and a gun on my hip
I find moonshiners and I never make a slip
I’m a revenue man, I’ll get ‘em if I can

Well the moon was shinin’ tonight
When I looked down the river
I noticed on the side of the hill
I could see a red light
Glowin’ really bright
I knew it had to be a still
Yeah people down the road
Said it wasn’t far
But you oughta know someone
Cause when the moonshiners knew
That I carry a star
I bet my bottom dollar
That I’ll have ‘em on the run

Cause I’m a revenue man, yes a revenue man
I got a badge on my pocket and a gun on my hip
I find moonshiners and I never make a slip
I’m a revenue man, I’ll get ‘em if I can

Well the moon was shinin’ tonight
When I looked down the river
I noticed on the side of the hill
I could see a red light
Glowin’ really bright
I knew it had to be a still
Yeah people down the road
Said it wasn’t far
But you oughta know someone
Cause when the moonshiners knew
That I carry a star
I bet my bottom dollar
That I’ll have ‘em on the run

Cause I’m a revenue man, yes a revenue man
I got a badge on my pocket and a gun on my hip
I find moonshiners and I never make a slip

"Right String Baby"

"Right String Baby"



Right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo
You tryin' a-do me like you did before
No need hangin' baby 'round my door
You got the right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo
Right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo
There's no need to hang-a, hang around my door
I used to love you, but I-I don't no more
You got the right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo

Well Saturdaynight, I'm stayin' at home
You got your mind out, oh you wanna roam
You settle down and leave the others alone
You gonna love me litle baby or you'll never be my own
You got the right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo
You never do the things you do before
You say you love me, but you can't no more
You got the right string baby, but the wrong yo-yo

"Rip It Up"

"Rip It Up"



'Cause it's Saturday nite and I just got paid

Fool about my money don't try to save
My heart says go, go
Have a time 'cause it's Saturday nite
And I'm feelin' fine

I'm gonna rip it up
I'm gonna rock it up
I'm gonna shake it up
I'm gonna ball it up
I'm gonna rip it up
And ball tonite

I got a date and I won't be late
Pick her up in my '88'
Shag it on down to the union hall
When the music starts jumpin'
I'll have a ball

Along about 10 I'll be flying high
Rocking on out into the sky
I don't care if I spend my gold
'Cause tonite I'm gonna be one happy soul.

"Rock 'N' Roll Singer"

"Rock 'N' Roll Singer"


Well once upon a time it was a sinner crime
To be a rock’n’roll singer.
You were a long time user, a music abuser
If you we’re an all in all singer.

You we’re the thug with the bug drinkin’out the jug
Just a J.D man
Just a country boy, a music star
The current high caller.

But everybody’s a rock’n’roll singer today
You’re the hip flask ringer, be hot man to know
A rock’n’roll singer today.

[SOLO]

Yeah Manfred Mann has a rock’n’roll band
John Mayall can really wail
And little Elton John is really gone
Well superstars all classic rock
Tryin’ very hard to shock
Be the first head on your block
They write songs all double pie
They all livin’ a lie
S word on a purple sky

But everybody’s a rock’n’roll singer today
You’re the hip flask ringer, be hot man to know
A rock’n’roll singer today
I said you’re the hip flask ringer, be hot man to know
A rock’n’roll singer today
