#49 Reach Out Of The Darkness (Friend & Lover) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together🪄
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend🪄
I knew a man that I did not care for
And then one day, this man gave me a call
We sat and talked about things on our mind
And now this man, he is a friend of mine🪄
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend🪄
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together🪄
Don’t be afraid of love
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid to love
Listen to me…
Everybody needs a little love
Everybody needs somebody
That they can be thinking of🪄
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
Reach out in the darkness
And you may find a friend🪄
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together🪄
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together🪄
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together
I thinks it’s wonderful and how
That people are finally getting together
I think it’s so groovy now
That people are finally getting together

#47 Green Tambourine (Lemon Pipers) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill a pretty dream
Give me pennies, I’ll take anything
Now listen while I play
My green tambourine🪄
Watch the jingle jangle start to shine
Reflections of the music that is mine
When you toss a coin, you’ll hear it sing
Now listen while I play
My green tambourine🪄
Drop a dime before I walk away
Any song you want, I’ll gladly play
Money feeds my music machine
Now listen while I play
My green tambourine🪄
Listen and I’ll play

#46 Sweet Sweet Baby Since You’ve Been Gone (Aretha Franklin) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Baby baby, sweet baby
There’s something that I just got to say
Baby baby, sweet baby
You left me hurtin’ in a real cold way🪄
Speak your name
Ooh and I feel a thrill
You said I do
Hey, and I said I will🪄
I told you to just be true
And give me just a little time
Wait on me, baby, I want you to be all mine
I just get so blue🪄
Since you’ve been gone, baby
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)
Since you’ve been gone
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)🪄
Baby baby, sweet baby
I didn’t mean to run you away
It was pride on my lips but not in my heart
To say the things that led you to stray🪄
But ah, me
Hear me now
I don’t know what I’m gonna do
Got to get you back somehow🪄
I’m praying, take me back
Consider me please
If you walk in that door, I can get up off my knees
I’ve just been so blue🪄
Since you’ve been gone, oh baby
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)
Since you’ve been gone
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)🪄
Well I’ve been so lonely
(Sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby
Baby, since you’ve been gone
(Sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby)🪄
I’ve been so lonely
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)
Since you’ve been gone
(Why’d you do it? Why’d you have to do it?)🪄
Baby baby baby been so lonely
(Sweet sweet, sweet sweet baby)

#45 Girl Watcher (The O’Kaysions) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher
Watchin’ girls go by, my, my, my
I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher
Here comes one now, mh, mh, mh🪄
I was just a boy when I threw away my toys
I found a new pastime to dwell on
Whenever I detect members of the other sex
I play the game I do so well, oh🪄
I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher
Watchin’ girls go by, my, my, my
I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher
Here comes one now🪄
Hello, there, female, my, my, but you do look swell
Would you please walk a little slower?
I wonder if you know that you’re putting on a show
Could you please walk a little closer?🪄
I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher
Watchin’ girls go by, my, my, my
I’m a girl watcher, I’m a girl watcher
Here comes one now, mh, mh, mh

#44 Slip Away (Clarence Carter) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
What would I give
For just a few moments
What would I give
Just to have you near🪄
Tell me you will try
To slip away somehow
Oh, I need you, darling
I want to see you right now🪄
Can you slip away
Slip away
Slip away
Oh, I need you so🪄
Love, oh, love
How sweet it is
When you steal it, darling
Let me tell you somethin’ now how sweet it is🪄
Now I know it’s wrong
The things I ask you to do
But please believe me, darling
I don’t mean to hurt you🪄
But could you just slip away
Without him knowing you’re gone
Then we could meet somewhere
Somewhere where we’re both are not known🪄
And guess can you slip away
Slip away
Slip away
I need you so🪄
Oh, can you slip away, baby
I’d like to see you right now, darling
Can you slip away now, baby
‘Cause I got to, I got to see you
I feel a deep burning inside

#42 Theme From ‘Valley of the Dolls (Dionne Warwick) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride🪄
When did I get, where did I
How was I caught in this game
When will I know, where will I
How will I think of my name🪄
When did I stop feeling sure, feeling safe
And start wondering why, wondering why
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
What’s in back of the sky, why do we cry🪄
Gotta get off, gonna get
Out of this merry-go-round
Gotta get off, gonna get
Need to get on where I’m bound🪄
When did I get, where did I
Why am I lost as a lamb
When will I know, where will I
How will I learn who I am🪄
Is this a dream, am I here, where are you
Tell me, when will I know, how will I know
When will I know why

#39 Fire (Arthur Brown) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Firebreathing through your unseigable fortress. I’m the devil and Michael De
Ruyter’s my name. I ride on the waves, right through your chains. You are my
Prey and you’ll never forget my name. A firebreath, a crimson sky, in a lake
Of fire you will die. The English pride, consumed by flames, you’ll never
Forget my name.🪄
Firebreath, spritting forks of fire. Firebreath, attacking a crumbling empire.
Firebreath, the Dutchman’s anger. Firebreath, a fire’s breath. The voyage to
Chatham. in 1667. The three day wat, never equalled again. Capture the Royal
Charles, the English flagship.🪄
The river Thames, the bleeding English heart. A firebreath, a crimson sky, in
A lake of fire you will die. The English pride, consumed by flames, you’ll
Never forget my name. A thousand cannonballs, rain down on my deck. Of the
Seven Provincies, the republic’s battleship number one. But they do no harm,
Cause Satan’s wings protect. His servant’s life, from the English last
Convulsion.🪄
A firebreath, a crimson sky, in a lake of fire you will die. The English
Pride, consumed by flames, you’ll never forget my name. Firebreath, spritting
Forks of fire. Firebreath, attacking a crumbling empire. Firebreath, the
Dutchman’s anger. Firebreath, a fire’s breath
