#76 It’s A Shame (The Spinners) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Ooh doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo🪄
It’s a shame
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame the way you hurt me
It’s a shame
The way you mess around with your man
I’m sitting all alone by the telephone
Waiting for your call, when you don’t call at all🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you play with my emotions
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
You’re like a child at play on a sunny day
‘Cause you play with love, and then you throw it away🪄
Why do you use me, try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel?
Why don’t you free me from this prison?
Where I serve my time as your fool🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
It’s a shame (Shame) the way you hurt me
It’s a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
I try to stay with you, show you love so true
But you won’t appreciate the love we try to make
Oh, it’s got to be a shame, uh🪄
Why do you use me, try to confuse me
How can you stand to be so cruel?
Why don’t you free me from this prison?
Serve my time as your fool🪄
Got to be a shame (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
Ohhh, it’s a shame (Shame) the way you hurt me
Oh, It’s a shame, baby, baby (Shame)
The way you mess around with your man
You’ve got my heart in chains, and I must complain
I just can’t be content, oh look at that
Shame (Ow)🪄
It’s a shame (Shame)
It’s a shame the way you hurt me, yeah
Oww (Shame)
Got to
Got to
Got to
Got to be a shame, oh yeah

#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

#11 Mama Told Me (Not To Come) (Three Dog Night) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What’s all these crazy questions they’re askin’ me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don’t turn on the lights ’cause I don’t wanna see🪄
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain’t the way to have fun, no (uh-uh)🪄
Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I’m almost chokin’ from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you’re smokin’ ’bout scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath🪄
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
That ain’t the way to have fun, son
That ain’t the way to have fun, son (oh, yeah!)🪄
The radio is blastin’, someone’s knockin’ at the door
I’m lookin’ at my girlfriend, she’s passed out on the floor
I seen so many things I ain’t never seen before
Don’t know what it is, I don’t wanna see no more🪄
Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, (“That ain’t the way to have fun, son”)
(“That ain’t the way to have fun, no”)🪄
Mama told me, mama told me
Mama told me, told me, told me
Mama told me
Oh, yeah
Mama told me, not to go…🪄
That ain’t the way to have fun, no
That ain’t the way to have fun, son
That ain’t the way to have fun, no (look at you)
That ain’t the way to have fun, son🪄
Listen to mama, listen to me baby
Mama told me, not to go…🪄
That ain’t the way to have fun, no (yeah!)
That ain’t the way to have fun, son (somebody tell ’em)
That ain’t the way to have fun, no (mama)
That ain’t the way to have fun, son

#18 Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby🪄
Why can’t you see
What you’re doing to me
When you don’t believe a word I say?🪄
We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds (with suspicious minds)
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds🪄
So, if an old friend I know
Stops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?🪄
Here we go again
Asking where I’ve been
You can’t see the tears are real, I’m crying
(Yes, I’m crying)🪄
We can’t go on together
With suspicious minds (suspicious minds)
And we can’t build our dreams
On suspicious minds🪄
Oh, let our love survive
I’ll dry the tears from your eyes
Let’s don’t let a good thing die
When, honey, you know I have never lied to you, mm
(Yeah, yeah)🪄
We’re caught in a trap
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby🪄
Why can’t you see
What you’re doing to me
When you don’t believe a word I say?🪄
Don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby🪄
Well, don’t you know I’m caught in a trap?
I can’t walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

#17 Grazing In The Grass (The Friends Of Distinction) 👍🏼

Lyrics:
It sure is mellow grazin’ in the grass
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
What a trip just watchin’ as the world goes past
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)🪄
There are so many good things to see
While grazin’ in the grass
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
Flowers with colours for takin’🪄
Everything outta sight in the grass
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
The sun beaming down between the leaves
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)🪄
And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin’ in and out of the trees
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it🪄
And it’s real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it
Whooo-oooh
I can dig it, he can dig it🪄
She can dig it, we can dig it
They can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it
Can you dig it, baby🪄
I can dig it, he can dig it
She can dig it, we can dig it
They can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it🪄
Can you dig it, baby🪄
The sun beaming down between the leaves
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
And the bir-ir-ir-irds dartin’ in and out of the trees
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)🪄
Everything here is so clear, you can see it
And everything here is so real, you can feel it
And it’s real, so real, so real, so real, so real, so real
Can you dig it🪄
Whooo-oooh, yeah
I can dig it, he can dig it
She can dig it, we can dig it
They can dig it, you can dig it🪄
Oh, let’s dig it
Can you dig it, baby
I can dig it, he can dig it
She can dig it, we can dig it🪄
They can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it
Can you dig it, baby🪄
I can dig it, he can dig it
She can dig it, we can dig it
They can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let’s dig it🪄
Can you dig it, baby
I can dig it, he can dig it
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
She can dig it, we can dig it🪄
They can dig it, you can dig it
(Grazin’ in the grass is a gas, baby, can you dig it)
Oh, let’s dig it
