Free As A Bird
(Lennon/McCartney/Harrison/Starkey)

Free as a bird,
it's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.

Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.

Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?

Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...

Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.

Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.

Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.

Free as a bird.
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.

That'll Be The Day
(Allison/Holly/Petty)

Well that'll be the day
when you say goodbye.
Yeah that'll be the day
when you make me cry.
You say you're gonna leave,
you know it's a lie
'cos that'll be the day
when I die.

Well you gave me all your loving
and all your turtle doving,
all your hugs and kisses
and your money too.
You say you love me baby,
still you tell me maybe
that somebody, well I'll be through.

Well that'll be the day
when you make me cry.
That'll be the day
when you say goodbye.
You say you're gonna leave,
you know it's a lie
'cos that'll be the day
when I die.

Yes that'll be the day
when you say goodbye.
Yes that'll be the day
when you make me cry.
You say you're gonna leave,
you know it's a lie
'cos that'll be the day
when I die.

Well when Cupid shot his dart,
he shot it at your heart.
So if we'll ever part,
and I'll leave you.
You say and hold me,
and you tell me boldly
that some day, well I'll be through.

Well that'll be the day
when you say goodbye.
Yes that'll be the day
when you make me cry.
You say you're gonna leave,
you know it's a lie
'cos that'll be the day
when I die.

Yeah that'll be the day.
Ohoh that'll be the day.
Ohoh that'll be the day.
Ohoh that'll be the day.

In Spite Of All The Danger
(McCartney/Harrison)

In spite of all the danger,
in spite of all that may be
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.

In spite of all the heartache,
that you may cause me,
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.

I'll look after you
like I've never done before.
I'll keep all the others
from knocking at your door.

In spite of all the danger,
in spite of all that may be,
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.

In spite of all the heartache
that you may cause me,
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.
I'll do anything for you,
anything you want me to,
if you'll be true to me.

Hallelujah, I Love Her So
(Charles)

Let me tell you about a girl I know,
she's my baby and I love her so.
Every morning when the sun comes up,
she brings me coffee in my favorite cup.
That's why I know, yes I know,
hallelujah I just love her so.

When I call her on the telephone,
she says: baby, I'm all alone.
By the time I count from one to four,
she'll be knocking on my door.

In the evening when the sun goes down
and there ain't nobody else around,
she kisses me and she holds me tight.
She says: baby everything is alright.
That's why I know, that's why I know
hallelujah I just love her so.
hallelujah I just love her so,

In the evening when the sun goes down
and there ain't nobody else around,
she kisses me and she holds me tight.
She says: baby everything is alright.
That's why I know, that's why I know
hallelujah I just love her so.
hallelujah I just love her so,
hallelujah I just love that chick so.

You'll Be Mine
(Lennon/McCartney)

Well darling all the night
You'll be mine and I know
You'll be mine
Till you die
You'll be mine

And so all the night
You'll be mine
You'll be mine
And the stars
Always shine
You'll be mine
Oh

(My darling When you burnt that toast the other morning
I, I looked into you eyes and I could see that National Health eyeball
and I loved you, like I never done, I have never done before!)

Oh darling
In your eyes
And you'll be mine
You will be mine
You'll be mine
At the star and so
You'll be mine

Three Cool Cats
(Leiber/Stoller)

Three cool cats,
three cool cats
are coming up in a beat up car,
spitting up a lift of candy bar
talking on about how sharp they are.
Three cool cats.

Three cool chicks
are walking down the street
swinging their hips,
splitting up a bag of potatoe chips
I think cool cats really did flip.
Three cool chicks
Three cool chicks.

Well up came that first cool cat,
he said: man look at that.
Man, do you see what I see?
Well I want that middle chick
I want that little chick.
Hey man save once chick for me.

Well three cool chicks.
Three cool chicks.

Well they love like
angels from up above
and three cool cats
really fell in love.

made three fools out of us
three cool cats.

when you'll say: mm you're my little girl.

How Do You Do It
(Murray)

How do you do
what you do to me?
I wish I knew,
if I knew how you do it to me
I'd do it to you.

How do you do
what you do to me?
I'm feeling blue,
wish I knew how you do it to me
but I haven't a clue.

You give me a feeling in my heart,
like an arrow piercing through it.
I suppose that you think you're very smart,
but won't you tell me how do you do it?

Lend Me Your Comb
(Twomey/Wise/Weisman)

Lend me your comb,
it's time to go home.
I got to go past,
my hair is a mess

Your mammie will scold,
your pappie will shout.
Unless we come in
the way we went out.

Kissing you was fun honey
but thanks for the date.
But I must come to run honey,
but you know baby it's getting late.

Just wait till I
say: my darling,
lend me your comb.
We got to go home.

Kissing you was fun honey
but thanks for the date.
But I must come to run, honey.
but sugar, it's getting late.

Just wait till I
say: my darling,
lend me your comb.

Moonlight Bay
(Madden/Wenrich)

Don't go away
With your "short and hairy legs"
On Moonlight Bay
