#64 We’ve Only Just Begun (Carpenters) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
We’ve only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we’re on our way
(We’ve only begun)🪄
Before the risin’ sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We’ll start out walkin’ and learn to run
(And yes, we’ve just begun)🪄
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin the signs along the way
Talkin’ it over, just the two of us
Workin’ together day to day
Together🪄
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow
(And yes, we’ve just begun)🪄
Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watchin’ the signs along the way
Talkin’ it over, just the two of us
Workin’ together day to day
Together
Together🪄
And when the evening comes, we smile
So much of life ahead
We’ll find a place where there’s room to grow
And yes, we’ve just begun

My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin’
She’s got what it takes
And she know how to use it🪄
My baby loves love

No more lonely nights waiting for the phone to ring
No more lonely days my baby’s taken care of everything

She’s got what it takes
And she know how to use it🪄
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin’
She’s got what it takes
And she know how to use it🪄
She’s the only one makes me feel so good
Believing in my lovin’
All my sorrows and fears seem to fly away
She looks at me as if to say🪄
My baby loves love
My baby loves lovin’
She’s got what it takes
And she know how to use it…

#60 25 Or 6 To 4 (Chicago) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Searching for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Dancing lights against the sky
Giving up, I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
25 or six to four🪄
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wondering how much I can take
Should have tried to do some more
25 or six to four🪄
Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Searching for something to say
Waiting for the break of day
25 or six to four
25 or six to four

#59 House of the Rising Sun (Frijid Pink) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the rising sun
And it’s been the ruin of many a poor Boy
And God I know I’m one🪄
My mother was a tailor
Sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin’ man
Down in New Orleans
Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he’ll be satisfied
Is when he’s on a drunk🪄
Oh mother, tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the Rising Sun🪄
Well there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

Express yourself
Express yourself🪄
You don’t ever need help from nobody else
All you got to do now

Whatever you do, uh

#52 In The Summertime (Mungo Jerry) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
In the summertime, when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather’s fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find🪄
If her daddy’s rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel
Speed along the lane, do a ton or a ton and twenty-five
When the sun goes down
You can make it, make it good in a lay-by🪄
We’re not grey people, we’re not dirty, we’re not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather’s fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the sea
We’re always happy, life’s for living
Yeah, that’s our philosophy🪄
Sing along with us
Dee-dee-dee, dee-dee
Da-da-da, da-da
Yeah, we’re hap-happy🪄
Da da-da
Dee-da-da, dee-da-da, da-da-da
Yeah, da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, do-da-da (alright, alright, alright)
Alright🪄
When the winter’s here, yeah it’s party time
Bring your bottle, wear your bright clothes
It’ll soon be summertime
And we’ll sing again, we’ll go driving
Or maybe we’ll settle down
If she’s rich, if she’s nice, bring your friends
And we’ll all go into town🪄
In the summertime, when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather’s fine
You got women, you got women on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive, go out and see what you can find🪄
If her daddy’s rich, take her out for a meal
If her daddy’s poor, just do what you feel
Speed along the lane, do a ton or a ton and 25
When the sun goes down, you can make it
Make it good in a lay-by🪄
We’re not grey people, we’re not dirty, we’re not mean
We love everybody, but we do as we please
When the weather’s fine, we go fishing or go swimming in the sea
We’re always happy, life’s for living
Yeah, that’s our philosophy🪄
Sing along with us
Dee-dee-dee, dee-dee
Da-da-da, da-da
Yeah, we’re hap-happy
Da da-da
Dee-da-da, dee-da-da, da-da-da
Yeah da-da, da-da-da

#51 Lola (The Kinks) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I met her in a club down in old Soho
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca-Cola
C-O-L-A, Cola
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said, “Lola”
L-O-L-A, Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola🪄
Well, I’m not the world’s most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight, she nearly broke my spine
Oh, my Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola🪄
Well, I’m not dumb, but I can’t understand
Why she walks like a woman and talks like a man
Oh, my Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola🪄
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night
Under electric candlelight
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
She said, “Little boy, won’t you come home with me?”🪄
Well, I’m not the world’s most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes, well, I almost fell for my Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola🪄
Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola🪄
I pushed her away
I walked to the door
I fell to the floor
I got down on my knees
Well, I looked at her, and she at me🪄
Well, that’s the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
Except for Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola🪄
Well, I’d left home just a week before
And I’d never, ever kissed a woman before
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said, “Little boy, gonna make you a man”
Well, I’m not the world’s most masculine man
But I know what I am and I’m glad I’m a man
And so is Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola🪄
Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola🪄
Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lo-Lo-Lo-Lo-Lola
Lola

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

#47 Come and Get It (Badfinger) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Mmh, make your mind up fast
If you want it, any time, I can give it🪄
But you’d better hurry ’cause it may not last
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?🪄
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
Mmh, make your mind up fast🪄
If you want it, any time, I can give it
But you’d better hurry ’cause it may not last🪄
Did I hear you say that there must be a catch?
Will you walk away from a fool and his money?
Sonny🪄
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast
You’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast🪄
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Fool and his money
Sonny🪄
If you want it, here it is, come and get it
But you’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast
You’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast
You’d better hurry ’cause it’s goin’ fast

#45 He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother (The Hollies) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
… The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows where
But I’m strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother🪄
… So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We’ll get there🪄
… For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother🪄
… If I’m laden at all
I’m laden with sadness
That everyone’s heart
Isn’t filled with the gladness
Of love for one another🪄
… It’s a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we’re on the way to there
Why not share?🪄
… And the load
Doesn’t weigh me down at all
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother🪄
… He’s my brother
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
