#6 Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian) (Paul Revere & The Raiders) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
They took the whole Cherokee nation
Put us on this reservation
Took away our ways of life
The tomahawk and the bow and knife
Took away our native tongue
And taught their English to our young
And all the beads we made by hand
Are nowadays made in Japan🪄
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die🪄
They took the whole Indian nation
Locked us on this reservation
Though I wear a shirt and tie
I’m still part redman deep inside🪄
Cherokee people
Cherokee tribe
So proud to live
So proud to die🪄
But maybe someday when they learn
Cherokee nation will return, will return
Will return, will return, will return

Lyrics:
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Come on home
Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia
Up in my bedroom (making love)
I got up to wash my face
When I come back to bed
Someone’s taken my place🪄
Celia, you’re breaking my heart
You’re shaking my confidence daily
Oh Cecilia, I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please to come home🪄
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I’m laughing🪄
Jubilation
She loves me again
I fall on the floor and I’m laughing

#5 How Can You Mend A Broken Heart (Bee Gees) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I can think of younger days when living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrows🪄
And, how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again🪄
I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow🪄
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
And how can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again🪄
La la la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la🪄
Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again
Da da da da
Da da da da, da da da da da, da

#4 One Bad Apple (The Osmonds) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Yeah, yeah🪄
I can tell you’ve been hurt
By that look on your face, girl
Some guy brought sad
Into your happy world🪄
You need love, but you’re
Afraid that if you give in
Someone else will come along
And sock it to you again🪄
One bad apple don’t
Spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, give it one more try
Before you give up on love🪄
One bad apple don’t
Spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what you heard🪄
I could make you happy, baby
Satisfy you too (satisfy you now)
But how can I if you
Won’t give me a chance
To prove my love to you🪄
Won’t you just give me one
Little chance (one little chance now)
I’ll give you love’s guarantee
That you won’t be hurt again🪄
One bad apple don’t
Spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, give it one more try
Before you give up on love🪄
One bad apple don’t
Spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what you heard now🪄
I’ve been noticing you, baby
For a long, long time
(Long, long time now)
I’m not ashamed to tell the world
That you really messed up my mind🪄
Girl, to me you’re like a
Dream come true
(Dream come true now)
I’d rather hurt myself
Than to ever hurt you🪄
One bad apple don’t
Spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, give it one more try
Before you give up on love🪄
One bad apple don’t
Spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what you heard now🪄
One bad apple don’t
Spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, give it one more try
Before you give up on love🪄
One bad apple don’t
Spoil the whole bunch, girl
Oh, now, I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what you heard now

#3 I Feel the Earth Move (Carole King) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around🪄
Ooh, baby, when I see your face
Mellow as the month of May
Oh, darling, I can’t stand it
When you look at me that way🪄
Hey, I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down
I feel my heart start to trembling
Whenever you’re around🪄
Ooh, darling, when you’re near me
And you tenderly call my name
I know that my emotions are something I just can’t tame
I just got to have you, baby
Uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, yeah🪄
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down
I just a-lose control
Down to my very soul
I get-a hot and cold
All over, all over, all over, all over🪄
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down
I feel the Earth move under my feet
I feel the sky tumbling down, a-tumbling down
A-tumbling down, a-tumbling down
A-tumbling down, tumbling down

#2 Reason to Believe (Rod Stewart) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
If I listened long enough to you
I’d find a way to believe that it’s all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe🪄
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself🪄
If I gave you time to change my mind
I’d find the way just to leave all the past behind
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe🪄
If I listened long enough to you
I’d find a way to believe that it’s all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe🪄
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself🪄
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself🪄
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give
Never think about myself🪄
Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else

#1 Joy To The World (Three Dog Night) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine🪄
Singin’ joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
And if I were the king of the world
Tell you what I’d do
I’d throw away the cars and the bars and the war
Make sweet love to you🪄
Sing it now, joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I’m a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin’ son-of-a-gun
I said a straight shootin’ son-of-a-gun🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me🪄
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls

#98 The Thrill Is Gone (B.B. King) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong, baby
And you’ll be sorry someday🪄
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away from me
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although, I’ll still live on
But so lonely I’ll be🪄
The thrill is gone
It’s gone away for good
All the thrill is gone
Baby, it’s gone away for good
Someday I know I’ll be open-armed baby
Just like I know, I know I should🪄
You know, I’m free, free now, baby
I’m free from your spell
Oh, free, free, free now, baby
I’m free from your spell
And now that it’s all over
All that I can do is wish you well

#96 Look What They’ve Done To My Song, Ma (The New Seekers) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Look what they’ve done to my song, ma
Look at what they’ve done to my song, ma
It was the only thing I could do half right
And it’s turning out all wrong, ma, look
What they’ve done to my song🪄
Look what they’ve done to my song, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song, ma
It was the only thing I could do half right
Turning out all wrong, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song🪄
Look what they’ve done to my brain, ma
Look at what they’ve done to my brain
Well, they picked it like a chicken bone
And I think that I’m half insane, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song🪄
Oh, I wish that I could find a good book to live in
Oh, I wish that I could find a good book
Well, if I could find a real good book
I’d never have to come out and look at
What they’ve done to my song🪄
Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson, ma
C’est la seule chose que je peux faire
Et ce n’est pas bon, ma
Ils ont changé ma chanson🪄
But maybe, it’ll all be all right, ma
Maybe, it’ll all be okay
Well, if the people are buying tears
Then I’m gonna be rich girl some day, ma
Look what they’ve done to my song🪄
Look what they’ve done to my song, ma-ma-ma
Look, look what they’ve done to my song
You know, they tied it up in a plastic bag
And then turned it upside down, oh ma-ma
Look at what they’ve done
Want to look at what they’ve done, oh ma-ma
Look what they’ve done to my song

#95 I’ll Never Fall in Love Again (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That’s what you get for all your trouble
I’ll never fall in love again
I’ll never fall in love again🪄
What do you get when you kiss a guy?
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, he’ll never phone ya
I’ll never fall in love again
Don’t you know that I’ll never fall in love again🪄
Don’t tell me what’s it all about
‘Cause I’ve been there and I’m glad I’m out
Out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I’m here to remind you🪄
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get a life of pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I’ll never fall in love again
No, no, I’ll never fall in love again🪄
I’m out of those chains, those chains that bind you
That is why I’m here to remind you🪄
What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I’ll never fall in love again
Don’t you know that I’ll never fall in love again
I’ll never fall in love again
