#79 Games People Play (Joe South) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Hmm la-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da da da🪄
Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
Never saying what they mean🪄
And they wile away the hours
In their ivory towers
Till they’re covered up with flowers
In the back of a black limousine whoa🪄
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking ’bout you and me
And the games people play🪄
Oh we make one another cry
Break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame whoa🪄
Neither one will give in
So we gaze at our eight by ten
Thinking ’bout the things that might have been
And it’s a dirty rotten shame whoa🪄
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking ’bout you and me
And the games people play now🪄
Oh yeah
All right
Oh yeah
Come on🪄
Oh
Come again🪄
People walking up to ya
Singing glory Hallelujah
And they’re tryin’ to sock it to you
In the name of the Lord🪄
They’re gonna teach you how to meditate
Read your horoscope, cheat your fate
And further more to hell with hate
Come on and get on board whoah🪄
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
Talking ’bout you and me
And the games people play
Now wait a minute🪄
Look around tell me what you see
What’s happening to you and me
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am whoah🪄
‘Cause you’ve given up your sanity
For your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity
Oh and you don’t give a da da da da da🪄
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
I keep talking ’bout you and me baby
And the games people play now lala🪄
La-da da da da da da da
La-da da da da da de
I keep talking ’bout you and me
Oh and the games people play
I wonder can you come now, play🪄
Talking ’bout you and me oh
And the games people play now

#77 Polk Salad Annie (Tony Joe White) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
If some of ya’ll never been down south too much
Some y’all never been down s-
I’m gonna tell you a little story so’s you’ll understand what I’m talkin’ about
Down there we have a plant that grows out in the woods, and the fields
And it looks somethin’ like a turnip green
Everybody calls it polk salad
Now that’s polk salad
Used to know a girl lived down there and she’d go out in the evenings and
Pick her a mess of it
Carry it home and cook it for supper
Because that’s about all they had to eat
But they did all right🪄
Down in Louisiana, where the alligators grow so mean
Lived a girl, that I swear to the world
Made the alligators look tame
Polk salad Annie, gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin’ on the chain gang
A mean vicious woman🪄
Everyday before supper time, she’d go down by the truck patch
And pick her a mess of polk salad, and carry it home in a tow sack
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody says it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin’ on the chain gang
A wretched, spiteful, straight-razor totin’ woman
Lord have Mercy, pick a mess of it🪄
Sock a little polk salad to me🪄
Her daddy was lazy and no-count, claimed he had a bad back
All her brothers were fit for
Was stealin’ watermelons out of my truck patch
Polk salad Annie, the gators got your granny
Everybody said it was a shame
Because her momma was a workin’ on the chain gang🪄
Yeah, sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need me a mess of it
Sock a little🪄
Sock a little polk salad to me, you know I need a real mess of it (chick-a-boom)
Sock a little polk salad, you know I need a real (chick-a-boom)
Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)
Ching-ching-ching-ching-a-ling (chick-a-boom)

#73 Everybody’s Talkin’ (Harry Nilsson) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Everybody’s talkin’ at me
I don’t hear a word they’re sayin’
Only the echoes of my mind🪄
People stoppin’, starin’
I can’t see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes🪄
I’m goin’ where the sun keeps shinin’
Through the pourin’ rain
Goin’ where the weather suits my clothes🪄
Bankin’ off of the northeast winds
Sailin’ on summer breeze
And skippin’ over the ocean like a stone🪄
I’m goin’ where the sun keeps shinin’
Through the pourin’ rain
Goin’ where the weather suits my clothes🪄
Bankin’ off of the northeast winds
Sailin’ on summer breeze
And skippin’ over the ocean like a stone🪄
Everybody’s talkin’ at me

#64 This Girl’s In Love With You (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
You see this girl
This girl’s in love with you
Yes I’m in love
Who looks at you the way I do
When you smile I can tell
We know each other very well
How can I show
You I’m glad
I got to know you ‘Cause
I’ve heard some talk🪄
They say you think I’m fine
This girl’s in love
And what I’d do to make you mine
Tell me now is it so
Don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin’
Don’t let my heart keep breaking up
I need your love
I want your love🪄
Say you’re in love
And you’ll be my guy
If not I’ll just die🪄
Music##🪄
Tell me now is it so
Don’t let me be the last to know
My hands are shakin’
Don’t let my heart keep breaking up
I need your love
I want your love
Say you’re in love
And you’ll be my guy
If not I’ll just die🪄

#62 Can I Change My Mind (Tyrone Davis) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Aww, she didn’t bat an eye
As I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would start to cry
Or sit around my room and grieve🪄
But y’all, the girl
She fooled me this time
She acted like I was
The last thing on her mind
I would like to start all over again🪄
Baby, can I change my mind
I just wanna change my mind
Baby, let me change my mind🪄
As I took those steps
Toward that open door
Knowing all the time
Oh, Lord, I just didn’t wanna go🪄
But she didn’t give me no sign
Nothing that would
Make me change my mind
I would like to start all over again🪄
Baby, can I change my mind
Please, please, please, baby
I just wanna change my mind🪄
Oh, I played my games
Million times before
But people, let me tell y’all
Oh, I never reached the door🪄
Ooh, the winds howl tonight
I keep lookin’ back but my baby’s nowhere in sight
I would like to start all over again🪄
Baby, can I change my mind
I just wanna change my mind
Baby, let me change my mind

#61 Gitarzan (Ray Stevens) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
He’s free as the breeze,
He’s always at ease.
He lives in the jungle
And hangs by his knees,
As he swings through trees
Without a trapeeze,
In his BVD’s.
A-hoo hoo!🪄
He’s got a union card
And he’s practicin’ hard
To play the gitar.
Gon’ be a big star,
Yeah he’s gonna go far.
An’ carry moonbeams home in a jar!🪄
He ordered Chet’s guitar course COD,
Makes A&E an’ he’s workin’ on B.
Digs C&W&R&B an’ an’ me an’ a chimpanzee
Agree that one day soon he’ll be,
A celebrity.
Get it!
Get it!
Get it!
Get it!
OWWWWWWWWW!🪄
Gitarzan!
He’s a gitar man!
He’s all you can stand,
Give him a hand,
Gitarzan!🪄
(Tarzan yell)
[Coughing]🪄
He’s gotta girl named Jane,
With no last name.
Kinda homely and plain,
But he loves her just the same.
‘Cause she kindles a flame,
And it drives him insane,
When he hears her sing.
She really does her thing.
It’s here claim to fame,
Come on, sing one Jane:🪄
Baby, baby, Whaooooo Baby!
[Scatting]
Whaooooo Baby!🪄
How ’bout that,
Lets here it for Jane!🪄
Thank ya’ folks.🪄
Well, they gotta pet monkey,
He likes to get drunky,
And sing boogie woogie,
And it sounds real funky,
Come on, yo’ time, boy,
Sing one monkey,
Here we go,🪄
[Monkey grunts]🪄
Lets here it for the monkey!
Whooooo!
(He He He He)🪄
On Saturday night they need some excitement,
Jane gets right and the monkey gets tight,
And their voices unite, in the pale moon light,
And it sounds alright, yeah, it’s dynamite,
It’s outta sight.
Let’s hear it, right nnnnnnnnow!🪄
[Gitarzan, Jane, and monkery all together]🪄
[Jane:]
Shut up baby, I’m tryin’ to sing!🪄
Get it!
Get it!
Get it!
Get it!
Owwwwwww!🪄
Gitarzan!
And his jungle band!
They’re all you can stand,
Give ’em a hand, Gitarzan!
[repeats once while fading]

#60 I’m Gonna Make You Mine (Lou Christie) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I’ll try every trick in the book
With every step that you take, everywhere that you look
Just look and you’ll find
I’ll try to get to your soul, I’ll try to get to your mind🪄
I’m gonna make you mine
I know I’ll never give up, I’m at the end of my rope
From the morning till suppertime, you’ll find
I’ll be waiting in line, I’ll be waiting in line🪄
I’m gonna make you mine (baby, I’m gonna make you mine)
Make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine

Make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine🪄
I’ll be a hard-lovin’, pushin’ kind of individual
Knockin’ night and day at your door
You’ll have to turn me away like an indestructible force🪄
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine
Make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine
Baby, I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine🪄
I’ll try every trick in the book
With every step that you take, everywhere that you look
Just look and you’ll find
I’ll try to get to your soul, I’ll try to get to your mind
I’m gonna make you mine🪄

Baby, I’m gonna make you mine, I’m gonna make you mine

#59 Galveston (Glen Campbell) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin’
I still see her dark eyes glowin’
She was 21 when I left Galveston🪄
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston🪄
I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin’ out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run🪄
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she’s crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston
