#35 Lookin’ Out My Back Door (Creedence Clearwater Revival) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Just got home from Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Got to sit down, take a rest on the porch
Imagination sets in, pretty soon I’m singin’
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
There’s a giant doin’ cartwheels, a statue wearin’ high heels
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Dinosaur Victrola, listenin’ to Buck Owens
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doot, doo doo
Wondrous apparition, provided by magician
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door
Tambourines and elephants are playin’ in the band
Won’t you take a ride on the flyin’ spoon? Doot, doo doo
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door🪄
Forward troubles Illinois, lock the front door, oh boy
Look at all the happy creatures dancin’ on the lawn
Bother me tomorrow, today, I’ll buy no sorrows
Doot, doot, doo, lookin’ out my back door

Lyrics:
Instant karma’s gonna get you
Going to knock you on the head
You gonna break your body, darling
Pretty soon you’re going to be dead🪄
What in the world you’re thinking of
Laughing in the face of love?
What on earth you trying to do?
It’s up to you, yeah, you🪄
Instant karma’s gonna get you
Going to look you right in the face
You better get yourself together
Come and join the human race🪄
How in the world you gonna see?
Who on earth d’you think you are?
Laughing at a fool like me?
Superstar, right you are🪄
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Right you are, come on🪄
Instant karma’s gonna hit you
Gonna hit your back off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Every one you meet🪄
Why in the world are we here?
Surely not to live in pain and fear?
Why on earth are you there?
You’re everywhere, come and get your share🪄
Well, we all shine on
With the moon and the stars and the sun
Well, we all shine on
Everyone, come on, yeah🪄
Well, we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun

#33 Venus (Shocking Blue) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
A goddess on a mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name🪄
She’s got it
Yeah, baby, she’s got it
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire, at your desire
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire, at your desire🪄
Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no one else had, whoa!🪄
She’s got it
Yeah, baby, she’s got it
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire, at your desire
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire, at your desire🪄
She’s got it
Yeah, baby, she’s got it
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire, at your desire
Well, I’m your Venus
I’m your fire, at your desire

#32 Ride Captain Ride (Blues Image) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Seventy-three men sailed up
From the San Francisco Bay
Rolled off of their ship, and here’s what they had to say
“We’re callin’ everyone to ride along to another shore
We can laugh our lives away and be free once more”🪄
But no one heard them callin’
No one came at all
‘Cause they were too busy watchin’ those old raindrops fall
As a storm was blowin’ out on the peaceful sea
Seventy-three men sailing off to history🪄
Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip
Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world that others might have missed🪄
Seventy-three men sailed up from the San Francisco Bay
Got off the ship, and here’s what they had to say
“We’re callin’ everyone to ride along to another shore
We can laugh our lives away and be free once more”🪄
Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip
Ride captain ride upon your mystery ship
On your way to a world that others might have missed🪄
Ride, captain ride upon your mystery ship
Be amazed at the friends you have here on your trip

#31 Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours) (Stevie Wonder) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Like a fool I went and stayed too long
Now I’m wondering if your love’s still strong
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours!🪄
Then that time I went and said goodbye
Now I’m back and not ashamed to cry
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours!🪄
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
(You got my future in your hands)🪄
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
(You got my future in your hands)🪄
I’ve done a lot of foolish things
That I really didn’t mean, didn’t I?
Seen a lot of things in this old world
When I touch them, they mean nothing, girl
Oo, baby, here I am, signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours!
Oowee baby, you set my soul on fire
That’s why I know you’re my heart’s only desire🪄
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
(You got my future in your hands)🪄
Here I am baby
Signed, sealed, delivered, I’m yours
(You got my future in your hands)
