#64 Stay In My Corner (The Dells) 👍🏼
If you stay, stay darling (stay in my corner)
You make me oh, so proud, stay darling
Please, stay (stay in my corner)
To the world, I’d cry out loud how I love you
Honey, I love you, I really love you (stay, stay, stay, stay)
Please, please, please stay darling (stay in my corner)
And I will never, never let you down
Just say you’ll stay (stay in my corner)
‘Cause I’ll need you always around to tell me you love me
Honey, you love me, so darling stay (stay, stay, stay)
There’ll be times when I may fail
And I’ll need your love to sometimes comfort me
Bitter days may prevail but just a kiss from you
Will make them sweet, oh, stay, stay
But just a kiss from you
Will make them sweet
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Honey, I love you (stay)
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner)
I love you
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner)
Don’t you know baby (stay)

I love you (ooh) stay (stay in my corner)
I love you (stay)

I love you (stay in my corner) come on, come on, now

I love you (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner)
Baby (stay) ooh
Ooh, baby (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner) whoa
Baby (stay)

Ooh, I love you (stay)
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay) yeah

#62 Magic Carpet Ride (Steppenwolf) 👍🏼
I like to dream, yes, yes
Right between the sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
Any place it goes is right
Goes far, flies near
To the stars away from here
Well, you don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes, girl
Look inside, girl
Let the sound take you away
Last night I hold Aladdin’s lamp
And so I wished that I could stay
Before the thing could answer me
Well, someone came and took the lamp away
I looked around, a lousy candle’s all I found
Well, you don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free
Close your eyes, girl
Look inside, girl
Let the sound take you away
You don’t know what we can find
Why don’t you come with me, little girl
On a magic carpet ride
Well, you don’t know what we can see
Why don’t you tell your dreams to me
Fantasy will set you free

#61 Hurdy Gurdy Man (Donovan) 👍🏼
Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I opened my eyes to take a peek
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquility
‘Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
Histories of ages past
Unenlightened shadows cast
Down through all eternity
The crying of humanity
‘Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Comes singing songs of love
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurd
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
Here comes the Roly Poly Man
He’s singing songs of love
“Roly poly, roly poly, holy poly poly” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang
“Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy gurdy” he sang

#60 Lady Madonna (The Beatles) 👍🏼
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet
Who finds the money when you pay the rent?
Did you think that money was heaven sent?
Friday night arrives without a suitcase
Sunday morning creeping like a nun
Monday’s child has learned to tie his bootlace
See how they run
Lady Madonna, baby at your breast
Wonders how you manage to feed the rest
See how they run
Lady Madonna lying on the bed
Listen to the music playing in your head (head)
Tuesday afternoon is never ending
Wednesday morning papers didn’t come
Thursday night, your stockings needed mending
See how they run
Lady Madonna, children at your feet
Wonder how you manage to make ends meet

#58 I Got The Feelin’ (James Brown) 👍🏼
I got the feeling
Baby, baby
I got the feeling
You don’t know what you do to me
People are heavy, down in misery
Hey, yeah, alright
Hey, hey, good Lord
I got the feeling, alright
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby
I got the feeling, baby
Baby, sometimes I’m up
Sometimes I’m down
My heart, I’m around the town
I’m level with the ground, baby
I said level with the ground
Well, baby, you treat me bad
No, no, I know no, you don’t mean it now
Sometimes, I roam
But I’ll be coming back home
Sometimes, I seem to be fly
I just don’t know when to say bye bye
Hey baby, baby
I got that feeling, baby
I have it, alright
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Come on now
Come on now
Oh, oh, oh, oh

#57 Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing (Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell) 👍🏼
Ooh, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, no, no
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing (oh, honey)
I’ve got your picture hangin’ on the wall
But it can’t see or come to me when I call your name
I realize it’s just a picture in a frame
Ooh, I read your letters when you’re not near
But they don’t move me and they don’t groove me
Like when I hear your sweet voice whispering in my ear
Don’t you know?
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby
Ain’t nothing like the real thing
I play my game of fantasy
I pretend, but I know in reality
I need the shelter of your arms to comfort me
No other sound is quite the same as your name
No touch can do half as much
To make me feel better
So let’s stay together
I’ve got some memories to look back on
Though they help me when you’re gone
I’m well aware
Nothing can take the place of your being there, oh
So glad we’ve got the real thing, baby
So glad we’ve got the real thing
Oh, Marvin (I know, honey)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby (so glad)
(So glad, oh, darling)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, talk to me
Ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby (ooh, oh, I’m so glad)
Ain’t nothing like the real thing

#56 Summertime Blues (Blue Cheer) 👍🏼
Lord, I gotta raise a fuss, Lord, I gotta raise a holler
About workin’ all summer just to try to earn a dollar
Well, Lord, I tried to call my baby, I tried to get a date
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
Lord, there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Well, my mom and papa told me, “Son, you got to make some money”
Well, if you wanna use the car to go a ridin’ next Sunday
Oh, Lord, I didn’t go to work, I told the boss I was sick, said
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
Lord, there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
I’ve got to take three weeks, I’ve got to have a fine vacation
I got to take my problem to the United Nations
I done told my Congressman and he said quote, dig this boy
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
Lord, there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
I’ve got to take three weeks, I’ve got to have a fine vacation
I got to take my problem to the United Nations
I done told my Congressman and he said quote, dig this boy
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
Lord, there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Whoa, there ain’t no cure

#55 Pictures Of Matchstick Men (Status Quo) 👍🏼
When I look up to the sky
I see your eyes, a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed, I sunk my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Images of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction, gone
When will this haunting stop?
Your face, it just won’t leave me alone
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Images of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you
You in the sky, you with this guy
You make me cry, you lie
You in the sky, you with this guy
You make me cry, you lie
Pictures of matchstick men

#52 Light My Fire (José Feliciano) 👍🏼
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, yeah
Girl, we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time for hesitation is through
There’s no time to wallow in the mire
Darling we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
Yeah, you know that it would be untrue
And you know that I would be a liar
If I was to go and tell you
Momma we couldn’t get much higher
Well, come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire, yeah
Yeah, come on baby light, would you light my fire, yeah
Come on baby light my fire, would you, oh it’s alright
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire
Light my fire, light my fire, light my fire, girl
You better light my fire
Come on baby, you better light, you better light my fire
