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 see
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
I'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 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 dressed 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 thinks only 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 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
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 lose 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 lose 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 lose 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 rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose 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 take a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano
That's why I go for that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose 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 will know, oh
One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain,
so I'll follow the sun
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 will know, oh
One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain,
so I'll follow the sun
Mr. Moonlight
(Johnson)
Mister Moonlight
You came to me
one summer night
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 is mine
I think you're fine
'cause we love you
Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight,
come again please
here I am on my knees
beggin if you please
And the night you don't come my way
I pray and pray more each day
'cause we love you
Mister Moonlight
And the night you don't come my way
I pray and pray more each day
'cause we love you
Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight,
come again please
here I am on my knees
beggin if you please
And the night you don't come my way
I pray and pray more each day
because we love you
Mister Moonlight
Mister Moonlight

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
Yes, I'm 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, woo
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, woo
Every little thing she does
she does for me, yeah
And you know the things she does
she does for me, woo
Every little thing
Every little thing
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 of 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
wondering what you're gonna do
should you need a love that's true
it's me
Please stop your lying
you got me crying, girl
Why should it be too much to ask of you
what you're doing to me
I've been waiting here for you
wondering what you're gonna do
should you need a love that's true
it's me
Please stop your lying
you got me crying, girl
Why should it be too much so ask of you
what you're doing to me
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 a 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
Well half past nine, half past four
fifty women knocking on my door
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
Went out last night, I didn't stay late
'fore I got home I had nineteen dates
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
Went out last night, I didn't stay late
'fore I got home I had nineteen dates
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby
Everybody's trying to be my baby, now
Well they took some honey from a 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
