Blowin' In The Wind
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they are forever banned?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
How many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea?
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
The answer, my friends, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind
Sloop John B
Sloop John B
Sloop John B
Sloop John B
Sloop John B
come on the sloop john b
grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
drinkin all night
got into a fight
well i feel so broke up
i wanna go home
first mate he got drunk
broke in the captains bunk
the constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
why don't you leave me alone
well i feel so broke up
i wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sails
See how the mainsail sets
call for the captain ashore
and let me go home
let me go home
i wanna go home yea yea
i feel so broke up
i wanna go home
The poor cook he caught the shits
and threw away all my grits
then he took and ate up all o' my corn
let me go home
(oh let me go home)
why won't they let me go home
(hoist up the john b's sails)
this is the worst trip i've ever been on
so hoist of the john b's sails
see how the mainsails sets
call for the captain ashore
and let me go home
let me go home
i really want to go home
i feel so broke up
i wanna go home
i wanna go home
i wanna go home
Wild World
Now that i've lost everthing to you
you say you want to start something new
and it's breaking my heart that your leaving
baby i'm grieving
but if you wanna leave take good care
i hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
but than a lot of nice things turn bad out there
oo baby baby it's a wild world
it's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
oo baby baby it's a wild world
i'll always remember you just like a child girl
you know i've seen alot of what the world can do
and it's breaking my heart in two
because i never wanna see you a sad girl
don't be a bad girl
but if you wanna leave take good care
i hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
but just remember there's a lot bad everywhere
oo baby baby it's a wild world
it's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
oo baby baby it's a wild world
i'll always remember you just like a child girl
baby, baby i love you
but you wanna leave take good care
hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
but just remember there's a lot of bad everywhere.
oo baby baby it's a wild world
it's hard to get by just upon a smile girl
oo baby baby it's a wild world
i'll always remember you just like a child girl
Who Put The Bomp
I'd like to thank the guy
Who wrote the song
That made my baby fall in love with me
Who put the bomp
In the bomp bah bomp bah bomp?
Who put the ram
In the rama lama ding dong?
Who put the bop
In the bop shoo bop shoo bop?
Who put the dip
In the dip da dip da dip?
Who was that man?
I'd like to shake his hand
He made my baby fall in love with me
When my baby heard
"Bomp bah bah bomp bah bomp bah bomp bomp"
Every word went straight into her heart
And when she heard them singing
"Rama lama lama lama lama ding dong"
She said we'd never have to part
Each time that we're alone
Sets my baby's heart all aglow
And everytime we dance to
Dip da dip da dip
Dip da dip da dip
She always says she loves me so
Elenor

My Boyfriend's Back
He went away and you hung around
And bothered me every night
And when I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice
My boyfriend's back and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
When you see him coming, better cut out on the double
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
You been spreading lies that I was untrue
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
So look out now 'cause he's coming after you
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
Hey, he knows what you been trying
And he knows that you been lying
He's been gone for such a long long time
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
Now he's back and things'll be fine
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
You're gonna be sorry you were ever born
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
'Cause he's kinda big and he's awful strong
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
Hey, he knows I wasn't cheating
Now you're gonna get a beating
What made you think he'd believe all your lies?
(wah-ooh, wah-ooh)
You're a big man now but he'll cut you down to size
(wah-ooh)
My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
Hey, he knows i wasnt cheating
and, you're gonna catch a beating
(Wah-ooh, wah-ooh)
(Wah-ooh)
My boyfriend's back, he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back)
if i were you id take a permanent vacation
(Hey-now, hey-now, my boyfriend's back
Hey, my boyfriend's back
Hey, my boyfriend's back
Hey, my boyfriend's, back
(Wah-ooh)
All My Lovin'
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true

And I'll send all my loving to you
All my loving I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
Close your eyes and I'll kiss you
Tomorrow I'll miss you
Remember I'll always be true
And then while I'm away

All my loving I will send to you
All my loving, darling I'll be true
All my loving

Stand By Your Man
sometimes its hard to be a woman
given all your love to just one man
you'll have bad times, he'll have goods times
doin things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him Oh, Be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When the nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Sometimes it's hard to be a gimme
Giving all your love to just one band
But if you love them, please don't make fun of them
Cause after all, we're just a band
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When the nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man
And tell the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man - Yeah!!
San Francisco
If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation, Go!
All those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you going to Stinky's peep show
Summertime is nice with wa-wa there
Let's go!
Where are we going, Greg?
To the library!
I Only Want 2 Be With U
Not found
Runaway
As I walk along I wonder,
a what went wrong with our love
a love that was so strong
and as I still walk on I think of
the things we've done together
while our hearts were young
Im a walkin in the rain
tears are fallin and I feel the pain
wishing you were here by me to end this misery
And I wonder I wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder
a why, why why why why why
she ran away
and I wonder were she will stay
my little runaway
my run run run runaway
Im a walkin in the rain
tears are fallin and I feel the pain
wishing you were here by me to end this misery
and I wonder a wo-wo-wo-wo-wonder
why?a why why why why why she ran away
and I wonder were she will stay
my little runaway
a run run run run runaway
run run run run runaway
run run run run runaway
Will You Still Love Me Tomorro

Different Drum
You and I travel to the beat of a different drum
oh can't you tell by the way I run
Evertime you make eyes at me wo oh
You cry and moan and say it will work out
but honey child I've got my doubts
you can't see the forest for the Trees
So don't get me wrong it's not that I'm knockin'
it's just that I am not in the market
for a boy who wants to love only me
Yeah And I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin's I'm not ready
for any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me
So Goodbye I'll be leavin' I see no sense
in this cry-in' and grievin'
We'll both live lots longer
If you live without me
So don't get me wrong it's not that I'm knockin'
it's just that I am not in the market
for a boy who wants to love only me yeah
Yeah And I ain't saying you ain't pretty
All I'm sayin's I aint ready
for any person, place or thing
To try and pull the reins in on me - yeah!
Yeah!

Yeah!
Wooohooow!
All right! yeah! Yeah!
