#25 She’s A Lady (Tom Jones) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Well, she’s all you’d ever want
She’s the kind I like to flaunt and take to dinner
But she always knows her place
She’s got style, she’s got grace, she’s a winner
She’s a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she’s a lady
Talkin’ about that little lady
And the lady is mine🪄
Well, she’s never in the way
Always something nice to say, and what a blessin’
I can leave her on her own
Knowin’ she’s okay alone and there’s no messin’
She’s a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she’s a lady
Talkin’ about that little lady
And the lady is mine🪄
Well, she never asks very much
And I don’t refuse her
Always treat her with respect
I never would abuse her
What she’s got is hard to find
And I don’t want to lose her
Help me build a mountain
From a little pile of clay, hey hey hey🪄
Well, she knows what I’m about
She can take what I dish out, and that’s not easy
But she knows me through and through
And she knows just what to do and how to please me
She’s a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she’s a lady
Talkin’ about that little lady
And the lady is mine
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she’s a lady
Oh, whoa, whoa, she’s a lady
Listen to me people she’s a lady
Yeah yeah yeah yeah she’s a lady
Whoa whoa whoa she’s a lady
Talkin’ about the little lady
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa
She’s a lady
Yeah yeah yeah she’s a lady
Whoa whoa lord, she’s a lady
I can’t live without that
She’s a lady
Ooh ooh she’s a lady

#24 Signs (The Five Man Electrical Band) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
And the sign said
“Long-haired freaky people
Need not apply”
So I tucked my hair up under my hat
And I went in to ask him why
He said, “You look like a fine upstandin’ young man
I think you’ll do”
So I took off my hat and said, “Imagine that
Huh, me workin’ for you”
Whoa🪄
Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery
Breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?🪄
And the sign said
“Anybody caught trespassin’
Will be shot on sight”
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house
“Hey! What gives you the right
To put up a fence to keep me out
But to keep Mother Nature in?
If God was here, he’d tell you to your face
‘Man, you’re some kind of sinner'”🪄
Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery
Breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?🪄
Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?
You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can’t even watch, no, you can’t eat
You ain’t supposed to be here🪄
The sign said, “You’ve got to have a membership card
To get inside”
Uh🪄
And the sign said
“Everybody welcome
Come in, kneel down and pray”
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all
I didn’t have a penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper
And I made up my own little sign
I said, “Thank you, Lord, for thinkin’ ’bout me
I’m alive and doin’ fine”
Woo!🪄
Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery
Breakin’ my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign?
Sign, sign
Everywhere a sign
Sign

#23 Ain’t No Sunshine (Bill Withers) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
It’s not warm when she’s away
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And she’s always gone too long
Anytime she’s goes away🪄
Wonder this time where she’s gone
Wonder if she’s gone to stay
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away🪄
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know🪄
Hey, I ought to leave young thing alone
But ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone, whoa-whoa🪄
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
Only darkness every day
Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone
And this house just ain’t no home
Anytime she goes away🪄
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away
Anytime she goes away

#22 Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey (Paul McCartney) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
We’re so sorry, uncle Albert
We’re so sorry if we caused you any pain
We’re so sorry, uncle Albert
But there’s no one left at home
And I believe I’m gonna rain🪄
We’re so sorry, but we haven’t heard a thing all day
We’re so sorry, uncle Albert
But if anything should happen
We’ll be sure to give a ring🪄
We’re so sorry, uncle Albert
But we haven’t done a bloody thing all day
We’re so sorry, uncle Albert
But the kettle’s on the boil
And we’re so easily called away🪄
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky🪄
Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn’t get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea and butter pie
Butter pie?
The butter wouldn’t melt so I put it in the pie🪄
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky🪄
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around
(Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground, live a little, get around
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around
(Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground, live a little, get around🪄
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky

#21 What’s Going On (Marvin Gaye) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Mother, mother
There’s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There’s far too many of you dying
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today, yeah🪄
Father, father
We don’t need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin’ here today🪄
Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
Oh, what’s going on (What’s going on)
What’s going on (What’s going on)
What’s going on (What’s going on)
What’s going on (What’s going on)🪄
Right on, baby
Right on, baby
Right on🪄
Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we’re wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply ’cause our hair is long
Oh, you know we’ve got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today🪄
Picket lines and picket signs
Don’t punish me with brutality
Come on talk to me
So you can see
What’s going on (What’s going on)
Yeah, what’s going on (What’s going on)
Tell me what’s going on (What’s going on)
I’ll tell you, what’s going on (What’s going on)🪄
Right on, baby, right on
Right on, baby
Right on, baby, right on
