No Reply (Lennon/McCartney)

This happened once before
When I came to your door
No reply
They said it wasn't you
But I saw you peep through
your window
I saw the light, I saw the light
I know that you saw me
'cause I looked up to your face

I tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'cause I know where you've been
I saw you walk in
your door
I nearly died, I nearly died
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place

If I were you'd realize that I
Love you more than any other guy
And I'll forgive the lies that I
Heard before when you gave me no reply

I've tried to telephone
They said you were not home
That's a lie
'cause I know where you've been
I saw you walk in
your door
I nearly died, I nearly died
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place

No reply, no reply



I'm a Loser (Lennon/McCartney)

I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
there is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be



Baby's in Black (Lennon/McCartney)

Oh dear, what can I do
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black

Oh dear, what can I do
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do

I think of her, but she only thinks of him
And though it's only a whim, she thinks of him

Oh how long will it take
Till she sees the mistake she has made

Dear what can I do
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do

Oh how long it will take
Till she sees the mistake she has made

Dear what can I do
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black
Oh dear, what can I do
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue
Tell me, oh what can I do



Rock and Roll Music (Berry)

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were goin' like a hurrican'

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Way down South they gave a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
The folks dancin' got all shook up

And started playin' that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
I'm in the mood to gear a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
So I can gear some of that

Rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lost it
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me



I'll Follow the Sun (Lennon/McCartney)

One day you'll look to see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
Some day you'll know I was the one
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you'll know, oh

One day you'll find that I have gone
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
Yes, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun

And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you'll know, oh

One day you'll find that I have gone
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun



Mr. Moonlight (Johnson)

Mr. Moonlight
You came to me one summernight
And from your beam you made my dream
And from the world you sent my girl
And from above you sent us love
And now she's mine
I think you're fine
'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight

Mr. Moonlight, come again please
Here I am on my knees
Begging if you please, and the nights you don't come my way
I'll pray and pray more each day
'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight,
Mr. Moonlight

Eight Days a Week (Lennon/McCartney)

Ooh I need your love babe
Guess you know it's true
Hope you need my love babe
Just like I need you

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothin'but love babe
Eight days a week

Love you every day girl
Always on my mind
One thing I can say girl
Love you all the time

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
Ain't got nothin'but love babe

Eight days a week
I love you
Eight days a week
Is not enough to show I care

Ooh I need your love babe, ...

Eight days a week ...

Love you every ...

Eight days a week. Eight days a week. Eight days a week



Words of Love (Buddy Holly)

Hold me close and tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you

Let me hear you say the words I long to hear
Darling when you're near
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you



Honey Don't (Perkins)

Well how can you say you will when you won't
Say you do, baby, when you don't?

Tell the truth now, is love real?

But oh well honey don't, well honey don't
Honey don't, honey don't, honey don't
I say you will when you won't, oh honey, don't

Well I love you, baby, and you ought to know
I like the way you wear your clothes
Everything about you is so doggone sweet
You got that sand all over your feet

(Oh, rock on George, one time for me)
(I feel fine)
(I'm sad)

Well sometimes I love you on a Saturday night
Sunday morning you don't look right
You've been out painting the town
uh baby, been stepping around

(Oh, rock on George, for Ringo one time)



Every Little Thing (Lennon/McCartney)

When I'm walking beside her
People tell me I'm lucky
Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her
Can't stop thinking about her now

Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, oooh

When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me
Yes, I know that she loves me now
There is one thing I'm sure of
I will love her forever
For I know love will never die

Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, oooh

Every little thing she does
She does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
She does for me, oooh

Every little thing
Every little thing
Every little ...



I Don't Want to Spoil the Party (Lennon/McCartney)

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know

Though tonight she's made me sad
I still love her
If I find her I'll be glad
I still love her

I've had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if she's not there
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for her



What You're Doing (Lennon/McCartney)

Look what you're doing, I'm feeling blue and lonely
Would it be too much to ask you
What you're doing to me?

You got me running and there's no fun in it
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?

I've been waiting here for you
Wond'ring what you're gonna do
Should you need a love that's true
It's me

Please stop your lying, you've got me crying, girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you're doing to me?

What you're doing to me



Everybody's Trying to be My Baby (Perkins)

Well they took some honey from the tree, dressed it up and they called it me.
Everybody's trying to be my baby, everybody's trying to be my baby,
Everybody's trying to be my baby now

Woke up last night, half past four
Wicked woman knocking at my door

Went out last night, I didn't stay late
When I got home I had a' nineteen dates

Everybody's tryin' to be my baby
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby
Everybody's tryin' to be my baby now
