#19 Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) (Sly & The Family Stone) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Lookin’ at the devil, grinnin’ at his gun
Fingers start shakin’, I begin to run
Bullets start chasin’, I begin to stop
We begin to wrestle, I was on the top🪄
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin🪄
Stiff all in the collar, fluffy in the face
Chit chat chatter tryin’, stuffy in the place
Thank you for the party but I could never stay
Many things is on my mind, words in the way🪄
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin🪄
Dance to the music
All night long
Everyday people
Sing a simple song
Mama’s so happy
Mama start to cry
Papa still singin’
We can make it if we try🪄
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
(Different strokes for different folks, yeah)
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin🪄
Flamin’ eyes of people fear, burnin’ into you
Many men are missin’ much, hatin’ what they do
Youth and truth are makin’ love
Dig it for a starter
Dyin’ young is hard to take
Sellin’ out is harder🪄
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin🪄
I want thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin

#17 Cracklin’ Rosie (Neil Diamond) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Ah, Cracklin’ Rosie, get on board
We’re gonna ride ’til there ain’t no more to go
Taking it slow
And Lord, don’t you know
I’ll have me a time with a poor man’s lady🪄
Hitchin’ on a twilight train
Ain’t nothing here that I care to take along
Maybe a song
To sing when I want
Don’t need to say please to no man for a happy tune🪄
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin’ Rose, you’re a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin’
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin’ on🪄
Play it now
Play it now, my baby🪄
Cracklin’ Rosie, make me smile
Girl, if it lasts for an hour, that’s all right
‘Cause we got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don’t ask no questions, yeah🪄
Oh, I love my Rosie child
You got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin’ Rose, you’re a store-bought woman
But you make me sing like a guitar hummin’
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin’ on🪄
Play it now
Play it now
Play it now, my baby🪄
Cracklin’ Rosie, make me smile
God, if it lasts for an hour, that’s all right
‘Cause we got all night
To set the world right
Find us a dream that don’t ask no questions🪄
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba

Lyrics:
You went to school to learn girl
things you never knew before
like “I” before “E” except after “C”
and why 2 plus 2 makes 4

Come on and love me just a little bit
I’m gonna teach you how to sing it out
come on, come on, come on
let me tell you what it’s all about
reading, writing, arithmatic
are the branches of the learning tree
but without the roots of love everyday girl
your education ain’t complete

#14 Hitchin’ a Ride (Vanity Fare) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
A thumb goes up, a car goes by
It’s nearly one A.M. and here am I
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
Gotta get me home before the morning light🪄
I got no fare to ride a train
I’m nearly drowin’ in the pouring rain
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
Gotta get me home to my baby’s side🪄
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride🪄
Long distance call I got today
She sounded lonely so I’m on my way
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
Gotta get me home, to keep her satisfied🪄
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride🪄
A thumb goes up, a car goes by
Oh, won’t somebody stop and help a guy?
Hitchin’ a ride, hitchin’ a ride
Been away too long from my baby’s side🪄
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride
Ride, ride, ride, hitchin’ a ride🪄
Ride, ride
Ride, ride
Ride, ride

#13 Make It with You (Bread) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes🪄
Dreams, they’re for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you’re wondering what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl🪄
No, you don’t know me well
In every little thing only time will tell
But you believe the things that I do
And we’ll see it through🪄
Life can be short or long
Love can be right or wrong
And if I chose the one I’d like to help me through
I’d like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl🪄
Baby, you know that dreams, they’re for those who sleep
Life, it’s for us to keep
And if I chose the one I’d like to help me through
I’d like to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl
