Baby, let's get together
Honey hush, me and you
And do the things
Ah, do the things
That we like to do
Oh . . .

Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight
Do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight

"Get Down Tonight"
~~KC & The Sunshine Band

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I want all the world to see
To see you´re laughing
And you´re laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down

Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

Status Quo

I was walking down the High Street
When I heard footsteps behind me
And there was a little old man (Hello)
In scarlet and grey, shuffling away (laughter)
Well he trotted back to my house
And he sat beside the telly (Oaah..)
With his tiny hands on his tummy
Chuckling away, laughing all day (laughter)

Oh, I ought to report you to the Gnome office
(Gnome Office)
Yes
(Hahahahaha)

CHORUS
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
Said the laughing Gnome

Well I gave him roasted toadstools and a glass of dandelion wine (Burp, pardon)
Then I put him on a train to Eastbourne
Carried his bag and gave him a fag
(Haven't you got a light boy?)
"Here, where do you come from?"
(Gnome-man's land, hahihihi)
"Oh, really?"

In the morning when I woke up
He was sitting on the edge of my bed
With his brother whose name was Fred
He'd bought him along to sing me a song

Right, let's hear it
Here, what's that clicking noise?
(That's Fred, he's a "metrognome", haha)

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"

(Own up, I'm a gnome, ain't I right, haha)
"Haven't you got an 'ome to go to?"
(No, we're gnomads)
"Didn't they teach you to get your hair cut at school?
you look like a rolling gnome."
(No, not at the London School of Ecognomics)

Now they're staying up the chimney
And we're living on caviar and honey (hooray!)
Cause they're earning me lots of money
Writing comedy prose for radio shows
It's the-er (what?)
It's the Gnome service of course

Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you don't catch me"
Ha ha ha, oh, dear me

(Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me"
Ha ha ha, hee hee hee
"I'm a laughing Gnome and you can't catch me")


David Bowie

(am I getting the hang of this now?)

Just couldn't help it...

Unskinny bop
Blows me away yeh
Unskinny bop bop
All night and day yeh
Unskinny bop bop bop bop
She just loves to play yeh
Unskinny bop; nuthin more to say

What's right - what's wrong - what's left?
What the hell is going on...

Poison (for all those late 80s buffs)

I'll see your Poison and raise you a Hanson...

You have so many relationships in this life
Only one or two will last
You're going through all this pain and strife
Then you turn your back and they're gone so fast
And they're gone so fast
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they'll be the only ones there
When you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care
Can you tell me who will still care

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, ba duba dop
Ba du

Mmm bop, ba duba dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du bop, Ba du dop
Ba du

In an mmm bop, they're gone
Plant a seed, plant a flower, plant a rose
You can plant any one of those
Keep planting to find out which one grows
It's a secret no one knows
It's a secret no one knows

Repeat chorus until nauseated.

Mmm-Bop, by Hanson

Da doo ron ron #
original by: The Crystals

I met her on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
Somebody told me that her name was Jill
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron

Yes, my heart stood still
Yes, her name was Jill
And when I walked to home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron

I knew what she was doing when she caught my eye
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
She looked so quiet but my oh my
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron

Yes, she caught my eye Yes, oh my oh my
And when I walked to home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron

I picked her up at seven and she looked so fine
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron
Someday soon I'm gonna make her mine
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron

Yes, she looked so fine Yes, I'll make her mine
And when I walked to home
Da doo ron ron ron, da doo ron ron

I got a little jar in the comfort room

What, pray tell, does that mean ? ? ? ?
And I don't believe that part about the 700 women either. - mw

muddywatersmuddywatersmuddywatersmuddywatersmu

yeah
a gypsy once told my mother
before I was born
she said "you got a boy child comin'
he's goin' to be a son of a gun
he's goin' make you pretty women, jump and shout
then the world will know
what it's all about

Now I'm here
Everbody knows I'm here
I'm the hoochie koochie man
Everybody knows I'm here.

On the seventh hour, of the seventh day
On the seventh month, seven doctors say...
"He was born for good luck" - can't you see,
I got seven hundred dollars
So don't you mess with me.

Because I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
I'm the Hoochie- Koochie man
Everybody knows I'm here.

I've got a bad cat bone
I've got a bojo too
I got a little jar in the comfort room
I got Little John the Conquer- roo.
I'm gonna make you girl, fit inside my hand
then the world gonna know
I'm a hoochie koochie man.

I'm here
everybody knows I'm here

on the seventh night
of the seventh month
of the seventh week,
the seventh time she said
"he was born for good luck",
can't you see
I got 700 women
so don't you mess with me

Because I'm here
Everybody knows I'm here
I'm the hoochie koochie man
Everybody knows I'm here.

There are locks on the doors
And chains stretched across all the entries to the inside
There's a gate and a fence
And bars to protect from only God knows what lurks outside
Who stole your heart left you with a space
That no one and nothing can fill
Who stole your heart who took it away
Knowing that without it you can't live
Who took away the part so essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief who stole your heart and the key

Who stole your heart
The smile from your face
The innocence the light from your eyes
Who stole your heart or did you give it away
And if so then when and why
Who took away the part so essential to the whole
Left you a hollow body
Skin and bone
What robber what thief
Who stole your heart and the key

Now all sentiment is gone
Now you have no trust in no one

Who stole your heart
Did you know but forget the method and moment in time
Was it a trickster using mirrors and sleight of hand
A strong elixir or a potion that you drank
Who hurt your heart
Bruised it in a place
That no one and nothing can heal

You've gone to wizards, princes and magic men
You've gone to witches, the good the bad the indifferent
But still all sentiment is gone
But still you have no trust in no one

If you can tear down the walls
Throw your armor away remove all roadblocks barricades
If you can forget there are bandits and dragons to slay
And don't forget that you defend an empty space
And remember the tinman
Found he had what he thought he lacked
Remember the tinman
Go find your hear and take it back

Who stole your heart
Maybe no one can say
One day you will find it I pray

Remember The Tinman - Tracy Chapman
