OPENING MEDLEY

Anytime you're Lambeth way, 
Any evening, any day, 
You'll find us all doin' the Lambeth Walk.
Ev'ry little Lambeth gal 
With her little Lambeth pal, 
You'll find 'em all doin' the Lambeth Walk. 

Ev'rything free and easy,
Do as you darn well pleasey,
Why don't you make your way there,
Go there, stay there.
Once you get down Lambeth way,
Ev'ry evening, ev'ry day,
You'll find us all doin' the Lambeth Walk. 

- o -

Come, come, come and make eyes at me
Down at the old Bull and Bush. 
(Dah dah dah dah dah)
Come, come, drink some port wine with me
Down at the old Bull and Bush.
Hear the little German band 
(Dah de dah de dah dah dah)
Just let me hold your hand, dear.
Do, do, come and have a drink or two
Down at the old Bull and Bush. (Bush bush!)

- o -

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams they fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked ev'rywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

- o -

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy, all for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two!

- o -

Let's all go down the Strand ('ave a banana)
Let's all go down the Strand.
I'll be leader, you can march behind,
Come with me and see what we can find.
Let's all go down the Strand ('ave a banana)
Oh, what a happy band.
That's the place for fun and noise
All among the girls and boys,
So let's all go down the Strand.

- o -

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I love London so,
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I think of her wherever I go.
I get a funny feeling inside of me
Just walking up and down,
Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner
That I love London Town.

MARY POPPINS MEDLEY

Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey chim chim cher-ee! 
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be 
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey chim chim cher-oo! 
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you 
Or blow me a kiss and that's lucky too. 

Now, that the ladder of life 'as been sprung 
You might think a sweep's on the bottommost rung 
Though I spends me time in the ashes and smoke 
In this 'ole wide world there's no 'appier bloke. 

[REPEAT CHORUS]

- o -

With tuppence for paper and strings, 
You can have your own set of wings; 
With your feet on the ground you're a bird in a flight 
With your fist holding tight 
To the string of your kite. 
Oh, oh, oh! 

Let's go fly a kite 
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere 
Up where the air is clear 
Oh, let's go fly a kite! 

When you send it flying up there
All at once you’re lighter than air
You can dance on the breeze, 
Over ‘ouses and trees
With you fist holding tight
To the string of your kite.
Oh, oh, oh!

[REPEAT CHORUS]

- o -

In ev'ry job that must be done
There is an element of fun
You find the fun and SNAP!
The job's a game 
And ev'ry task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! 
It's very clear to see, that a ... 

Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down 
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down 
In a most delightful way.

A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering little bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song will move the job along, just a …

[REPEAT CHORUS]

- o -

Ain't it a glorious day?
Bright as a mornin' in May
I feel like I could fly
'Ave you ever seen the grass so green? 
Or a bluer sky? 

Oh, it's a jolly 'oliday with Mary.
Mary makes your 'eart so light!
When the day is grey and ordinary,
Mary makes the sun shine bright! 
Oh, 'appiness is bloomin' all around 'er, 
The daffodils are smilin' at the dove. 
When Mary 'olds your ‘and you feel so grand 
Your 'eart starts beatin' like a big brass band! 
Oh, it's a jolly 'oliday with Mary
No wonder that it's Mary that we love!


- o -

Kick your knees up, step in time
Kick your knees up, step in time
Never need a reason,
Never need a rhyme 
Kick your knees up, step in time! 

Flap like a birdie ... (etc)

- o -

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious, 
If you say it loud enough 
You'll always sound precocious, 
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! 

Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay. (x2)

Because I was afraid to speak
When I was just a lad,
Me father gave me nose a tweak
And told me I was bad! 
But then one day I learned a word
That saved me achin' nose, 
The biggest word you ever heard
And this is how it goes: 

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I’M HENERY THE EIGHTH, I AM!

I'm Henery the Eighth, I am! 
Henery the Eighth I am! I am!
I got married to the widow next door,
She's been married seven times before.
Ev'ry one was an Henery,
She wouldn't have a Willie or a Sam.
I'm her Eighth old man named Henery,
I'm Henery the Eighth, I am!

COCKNEY CLASSICS

“Wotcher!” all the neighbours cried,
“Who’re yer goin’ to meet, Bill?
Have her bought the street, Bill?”
Laugh! I thought I should ‘ave died,
Knocked ‘em in the Old Kent Road!

On Mother Kelly's doorstep, down Paradise Row,
I'd sit along o' Nelly, and she'd sit along o' Joe.
She'd got a little hole in her frock, a hole in her shoe,
A hole in her sock, where her toe peep'd through,
But Nelly was the smartest down our alley.
On Mother Kelly's doorstep, I'm wondering now
If li'l gal Nelly remembers Joe, her beau,
And does she love me like she used to,
On Mother Kelly's doorstep, down Paradise Row.

- o -

There was I waiting at the church
Waiting at the church, waiting at the church
When I found he'd left me in the lurch
Lor', how it did upset me
All at once he sent me round a note
Here's the very note, and this is what he wrote
"Can't get away to marry you today,
My wife won't let me".

- o -

Oh! We ain't got a barrel of money,
Maybe we're ragged and funny
But we'll travel along, singin' a song, side by side.
Don't know what's comin’ tomorrow,
Maybe it's trouble and sorrow, 
But we'll travel the road, sharin' our load, side by side.
Thru all kinds of weather what if the sky should fall?
Just as long as we're together, 
It doesn't matter at all.
When they'll all had their quarrels and parted, 
We'll be the same as we started,
Just trav'lin' along, singin' a song, side by side.

DON’T JUMP OFF THE ROOF, DAD!

“Don't jump off the roof, Dad 
You'll make a hole in the yard 
Mother's just planted petunias 
The weeding and seeding was hard 
If you must end it all, Dad 
Won't you please give us a break 
Just take a walk down the park, Dad 
And there you can jump in the lake.”

BEATLES MEDLEY

What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I’ll sing you a song
And I’ll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
Mm, I’m gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love.
Could it be anybody?
I need somebody to love.

- o -

It’s been a hard day’s night
And I’ve been working like a dog.
It’s been a hard day’s night,
I should be sleeping like a log.
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright.

- o -

Oh yeah, I’ll tell you something
I think you’ll understand,
Then I’ll say that something
I wanna hold your hand.
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.

Desmond had a barrow in the market place,
Molly is the singer in a band.

Help! I need somebody.
Help! Not just anybody.
Help! You know I need someone.
Help!

When I was younger, so much younger than today,
I never needed anybody’s help in any way.
But now these days are gone I’m not so self assured,
Now I find I’ve changes my mind
I’ve opened up the doors.
Help me if you can, I’m feeling down,
And I do appreciate you being round.
Help me get my feet back on the ground.
Won’t you please, please help me.

- o -

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me,
Speaking words of wisdom,
Let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, 
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far way,
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Suddenly I’m not have the man I used to be,
There’s a shadow hanging over me.
Oh yesterday came suddenly.

Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday.
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,
Now I need a place to hide away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.

Hey Jude, don’t make it bad,
Take a sad song and make it better.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.

Hey Jude, don’t be afraid,
You were made to go out and get her. 
The minute you let her under your skin,
Then you begin to make it better.

Da da da da da da da
Da da da da ... Hey Jude! (x2)

“Sling yer ‘ook and have it away, on your toes or in a taxi
Otherwise you’ll get my daisy roots right up yer jacksie!”

ANIMAL MEDLEY

A bold hippopotamus was standing one day
On the banks of the cool Shalimar
He gazed at the bottom as he peacefully lay
By the light of the evening star
Away on the hilltop sat combing her hair
His fair hippopotami maid 
The hippopotamus was no ignoramus
And sang her this sweet serenade 

Mud, mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
So follow me follow, down to the hollow
And there let me wallow in glorious mud 

- o - 

How much is that doggie in the window? (arf, arf) 
The one with the waggley tail 
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf, arf)
I do hope that doggie's for sale 

I must take a trip to California
And leave my poor sweetheart alone
If he has a dog he won't be lonesome
And the doggie will have a good home

[REPEAT CHORUS]

- o -

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! (bow wow!)
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! (bow wow!)
I've got a little cat
And I'm very fond of that
But I'd rather have a bow-wow
Wow, wow, wow, wow 

- o - 

Hey little hen, when, when, when
Will you lay me an egg for my tea.
Hey little hen, when, when, when
Will you try to supply one for me
Get into your nest,
Do your little best,
Get it off your chest,
I can do the rest.
Hey little hen, when, when, when
Will you lay me an egg for my tea. 

- o - 

Look for the bare necessities 
The simple bare necessities 
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes 
That bring the bare necessities of life

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you 
They'll come to you! 

- o - 

Pack up all my care and woe, 
Here I go, singing low,
Bye bye blackbird,
Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar's sweet, so is she,
Bye bye blackbird! 
No one here can love or understand me, 
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me, 
Make my bed and light the light,
I'll be home late tonight,
Blackbird bye bye. 

- o - 

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea 
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee 
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff 
And brought him strings and sealing wax 
And other fancy stuff.

If you go down to the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go down to the woods today
You'd better go in disguise!
For every bear that ever there was 
Will gather there for certain,
Because today's the day the
Teddy Bears have their picnic.

Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily gad about.
They love to play and shout, 
They never have any cares;
At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies
Will take them home to bed,
Because they're tired little Teddy Bears 

- o - 

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes.
In her own special way to the people she calls,
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs.
Come feed the little birds,
Show them you care,
And you'll be glad if you do. 
Their young ones are hungry,
Their nests are so bare;
All it takes is tuppence from you.

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag
Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
While overhead, her birds fill the skies
All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares
Although you can't see it,
You know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares.
Though her words are simple and few,
Listen, listen, she's calling to you
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag”

MY OLD MAN’S A DUSTMAN

Now here's a little story
To tell it is a must
About an unsung hero
That moves away your dust
Some people make a fortune
Others earn a mint
My old man don't earn much
In fact he's flippin' skint

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor-blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
He looks a proper nana
In his great big hobnail boots
He's got such a job to pull them up
That he calls 'em daisy roots

Some folks give tips at Christmas
And some of them forget
So when he picks their bins up
He spills some on the step
Now one old man got nasty
And to the council wrote
Next time my old man went 'round there
He punched him up the throat

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor-blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

Though my old man's a dustman
He's got an 'eart of gold
He got married recently
Though he's eighty-six years old
We said "'Ere, hang on, Dad
You're getting past your prime"
He said "Well, when you get to my age
It helps to pass the time."

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor-blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

Now one day whilst in a hurry
He missed a lady's bin
He hadn't gone but a few yards
When she chased after him
"What game do you think you're playing?"
She cried right from the 'eart
"You've missed me, am I too late?"
"No, jump up on the cart!"

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor-blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat

He found a tiger's head one day
Nailed to a piece of wood
The tiger looked like miserable
But I suppose he should
Just then from out a window
A voice began to wail
It said "Oi! Where's me tiger's head?"
"Four foot from his tail."

Oh, my old man's a dustman
He wears a dustman's hat
He wears cor-blimey trousers
And he lives in a council flat
Next time you see a dustman
Looking all pale and sad
Don't kick him in the dustbin
It might be my old dad!

[How’s your father?]  Alright!

CHAS AND DAVE MEDLEY

Mother phoned up last night, she was going spare, 
She was in a temper pulling out her hair
You’re sister’s courtin’ a scruffy looking ted, 
Father don’t give a monkeys and this is what he said:

I don’t care, I don’t care, 
I don’t care if he comes round here
I’ve got my beer in the sideboard here 
Let Mother sort it out if he comes round here

I said to me mother let me ‘ave a talk to dad, 
So he comes to the telephone, he wasn’t half mad
Said she’s got no sense silly little cow 
And if he comes round here there’s gonna be a row

I don’t care, I don’t care, 
I don’t care if he comes round here
I’ve got my beer in the sideboard here 
Let Mother sort it out if he comes round here

I’ll tell ya something else and all he’s never got a job, 
He hangs around the betting shop the lazy little yob
Mother says calm down now, he’s alright, 
But they’re out there snogging in the passage all night

I don’t care, I don’t care, 
I don’t care if he comes round here
I’ve got my beer in the sideboard here 
Let Mother sort it out if he comes round here

If he comes round here, I’ve got my beer, 
Let Mother sort it out, in the sideboard here, 
Got my beer, let Mother sort it out
I don’t care if he comes round here.

Well I’ve built my life around you, did what I thought was right
But you never cared about me, now I’ve seen the light
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasing you
You seemed to think that ev’rything I ever did was wrong
I should have known it all along
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasing you

You only had to say the word, and you knew I’d do it
You had me where you wanted me, but you went and blew it
Now everything, I ever done, was only done for you
But now you, can go and do, just what you wanna do, I’m telling you

‘Cos I ain’t gonna be made to look a fool no more
You done it once too often, what do you take me for
Oh darlin’ there ain’t no pleasing you
You seemed to think that ev’rything I ever did was wrong
I should have known it all along
Oh darlin’, there ain’t no pleasing you

You got a beautiful chin, you got beautiful skin, 
You’ve got a beautiful face, you’ve got taste.
You’ve got beautiful eyes, you’ve got beautiful thighs,
You’ve got alot without a doubt,
But I’m thinking ’bout blowing you out, cos

You won’t stop talking, why don’t you give it a rest
You got more rabbit than Sainsbury’s, it’s time you got it off ya chest
Now you was just the type of girl to break my heart in two
I knew right off when I first clapped my eyes on you
But how was I to know you’d bend my earholes too with your incessant talking
You’re becoming a pest

Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit ...

Now you’re a wonderful girl, you got a wonderful smell, 
You got wonderful arms, you got charms
You got wonderful hair, we make a wonderful pair,
Now I don’t mind having a chat,
But you have to keep giving it that, cos

You won’t stop talking, why don’t you give it a rest
You got more rabbit than Sainsbury’s, it’s time you got it off ya chest
Now you was just the type of girl to break my heart in two
I knew right off when I first clapped my eyes on you
But how was I to know you’d bend my earholes too with your incessant talking
You’re becoming a pest

A MOTHER’S LAMENT

“Your baby has gone down the plug-hole
Your baby has gone down the plug
The poor little thing was so skinny and thin
It should have been washed in a jug
Your baby is ever so happy
He won’t need a bath any more
Your baby has gone down the plug-hole
Not lost but gone before.”

SUNSHINE MEDLEY

You are my sunshine, 
My only sunshine,
You make me happy, 
When skies are grey.
You'll never know dear,
How much I love you,
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear
As I lay dreaming,
I dreamt that you were by my side.
Came disillusion when I awoke dear,
You were gone and then I cried.

[REPEAT CHORUS]

You told me once dear there’d be no other,
And no one else could come between,
But now you’ve left me to love another,
You have broken all my dreams.

So stop your sighin', be happy again.
Keep on smilin', 'cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you

Bring me sunshine in your smile,
Bring me laughter all the while,
In this world where we live there should be more happiness,
So much joy you can give to each brand new bright tomorrow,
Make me happy through the years.
Never bring me any tears,
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love!

Bring me sunshine in your eyes,
Bring me rainbows from the skies.
Life’s too short to be spent having anything but fun.
We can be so content, if we gather little sunbeams.
Be light-hearted all day long.
Keep me singing happy songs.
Let your arms be as warm as the sun from up above,
Bring me fun, bring me sunshine, bring me love!

FOOTBALL ANTHEMS MEDLEY

I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.
They fly so high, nearly reach the sky,
Then like my dreams they fade and die.
Fortune's always hiding,
I've looked ev'rywhere,
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
Pretty bubbles in the air.

I see trees of green, red roses too. 
I see them bloom, for me and you. 
And I think to myself, 
What a wonderful world. 
I see skies of blue, snd clouds of white. 
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night. 
And I think to myself, 
What a wonderful world. 

The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky. 
Are also on the faces of people going by, 
I see friends shaking hands saying, "How do you do?" 
They're really saying, "I love you". 
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow, 
They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know. 
And I think to myself, 
What a wonderful world. 

- o -

Oh when the Saints go marching in
Oh when the Saints go marching in
I want to be in that number
Oh, when the Saints go marching in

Oh when the band begins to play
Oh when the band begins to play
O Lord, I want to be in that number
When the band begins to play

When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, "What will I be?
Will I be pretty, will I be rich?"
Here's what she said to me:

"Que Sera, Sera, 
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que Sera, Sera
What will be, will be"

I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window
I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind
She was my woman
As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind

My my my Delilah
Why why why Delilah
So before they come to break down the door
Forgive me Delilah I just couldn't take any more

Blue moon - You saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own
Blue moon - You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it turned to gold
Blue moon - Now I'm no longer alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own

- o -

You're everywhere and nowhere baby, 
That's where you're at
Going down a bumpy hillside, in your hippy hat
Flying across the country, and getting fat
Saying everything is groovy, when your tires are flat

And it's high ho silver lining,
Anywhere you go now baby
I see your sun is shining
But I won't make a fuss, though it's obvious

- o -

When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin' along along
There'll be no more sobbin' when he starts throbbin' his old sweet song
Wake up, wake up you sleepy head
Get up, get up get out of bed
Cheer up, cheer up the sun is red
Live, love, laugh and be happy
What if I've been blue now I'm walkin' through fields of flowers
Rain may glisten but I still listen for hours and hours
Well, I'm just a kid again doing what I did again singin' a song
When the red red robin comes bob bob bobbin' along along

- o -

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don’t be afraid of the dark.
At the end of the storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind, 
Walk on through the rain,
Tho’ your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you’ll never walk alone,
You’ll never walk alone.

ALWAYS LOOKS ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best.

And always look on the bright side of life. (Whistle)
Always look on the light side of life. (Whistle)
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And always look on the bright side of life. (Whistle)
Always look on the right side of life. (Whistle)
For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death. (Whistle)
Just before you draw your terminal breath. (Whistle)
Life's a piece of s**t, when you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true
You'll see its all a show, keep 'em laughin’ as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you

MY OLD MAN SAID “FOLLOW THE VAN”

My old man said follow the van
And don't dilly-dally on the way
Off went the cart with the home packed in it
I walked behind with me old cock linnet
But I dillied and I dallied
And I dallied and I dillied
Lost the van and don't know where to roam
. . . I stopped on the way to have the odd half quartern
And I can't find my way home.

. . . Now who's going to put up the old iron bedstead?
If I ain't find my way home.

. . . You can't trust the specials like the old time coppers
When you can't find your way home!

ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES THEME

Stick a pony in me pocket
I'll fetch the suitcase from the van
Cause if you want the best 'uns
And you don't ask questions
Then brother I'm your man
Where it all comes from is a mystery
It's like the changing of the seasons snd the tides of the sea
But here’s the one thats driving me berserk:
Why do only fools and horses work?
La la la la la - la la la la la
La la la la la - la la la la la

We've got some half priced cracked ice
And miles and miles of carpet tiles
TV's, deep freeze and David Bowie LP's
Pool games, gold chains, wosnames and at a push
Some Trevor Francis track-suits
From a mush in Shepherds Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush, 
Bush, Bush, Bush

No income tax, no VAT
No money back, no guarantee
Black or white, rich or broke
We'll cut prices at a stroke
God bless Hooky Street
Viva Hooky Street
Long live Hooky Street
C'est magnifique Hooky Street
Magnifique Hooky Street

SING-A-LONG CLASSICS OF THE FUTURE?

Mama, just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama, life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, ooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
As if nothing really matters

In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines

So we sailed up to the sun
'Til we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
In our yellow submarine

We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

- o -

Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings
Of the bluebird as she sings
The six-o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes
The shaving razor's cold and it stings

Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen? 

- o -

Where it began, I can't begin to knowing
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
Then spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along

Hands, touching hands
Reaching out, touching me, touching you

Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I'd be inclined
To believe they never would

When I wake up, well I know I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next you
When I go out, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you

If I get drunk, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver, yeah I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

When the day is dawning
On a Texas Sunday Morning
How I long to be there
With Marie who's waiting for me there

Every lonely city
Where I hang my hat
Ain't as half as pretty
As where my baby's at

Is this the way to Amarillo?
Every night I've been hugging my pillow
Dreaming dreams of Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Show me the way to Amarillo
I've been weeping like a willow
Crying over Amarillo
And sweet Marie who waits for me

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la
And Marie who waits for me

MOLLY MALONE

In Dublin’s fair city, where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone.
As she wheeled her wheelbarrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying “Cockles and muscles alive, alive-o”.

Alive, alive-o, Alive alive-o,
Crying “Cockles and muscles alive, alive-o”.

She was a fishmonger, but sure ‘twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before;
And they each wheeled their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying “Cockles and muscles alive, alive-o”.

Alive, alive-o, Alive alive-o,
Crying “Cockles and muscles alive, alive-o”.

She died of a fever, and no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone;
Her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying “Cockles and muscles alive, alive-o”.

Alive, alive-o, Alive alive-o,
Crying “Cockles and muscles alive, alive-o”.

My bonnie lies over the sea,
My bonnie lies over the ocean,
O bring back my bonnie to me.

Bring back, bring back,

Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bonnie to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
I dreamt that my bonnie was dead.

Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,

OLIVER! AND MY FAIR LADY MEDLEY

Consider yourself at home,
Consider yourself one of the family
We've taken to you so strong.
It's clear we're going to get along.
Consider yourself well in,
Consider yourself part of the furniture
There isn't a lot to spare; 
Who cares? What ever we've got we share!

If it should chance to be we should see some harder days,
Empty larder days, why grouse?
Always chance we'll meet somebody to foot the bill,
Then the drinks are on the house!
Consider yourself our mate,
We don't want to have no fuss.
For after some consideration we can state:
Consider yourself one of us.

All I want is a room somewhere,
Far away from the cold night air, 
With one enormous chair;
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Lots of choc'late for me to eat;
Lots of coal makin' lot of heat; 
Warm face, warm hands, warm feet,
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?

Oh, so loverly sittin' absobloomin'lutely still! 
I would never budge 'til spring crept over the window sill. 
Someone's head restin' on my knee,
Warm and tender as he can be;
Who takes good care of me,
Oh, wouldn't it be loverly?
Loverly! Loverly! Loverly! Loverly!

I'm getting married in the morning
Ding! Dong! The bells are gonna chime.
Pull out the stopper; 
Let's have a whopper;
But get me to the church on time!
I’ve gotta be there in the morning
Spruced up and looking in my prime.
Girls, come and kiss me;
Show how you'll miss me,
But get me to the church on time!
If I am dancing, roll up the floor!
If I am whistling, whewt me out the door!

For I'm getting married in the morning
Ding! Dong! The bells are gonna chime.
Kick up a rumpus, 
But don't lose the compass; 
And get me to the church,
Get me to the church,
For gawd's sake, get me to the church on time!

There's a little ditty
They're singing in the city
Especially when they've been on the gin or the beer.
If you've got the patience, 
Your own imaginations
Will tell you just exactly what you want to hear... 

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That's how it goes, 
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev'ryone knows.
They all suppose what they want to suppose
When they hear ... oom-pah-pah!

Mister Percy Snodgrass
Would often have the odd glass, 
But never when he thought anybody could see.
Secretly he'd buy it,
And drink it on the quiet,
And dream he was an Earl wiv a girl on each knee! 

Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
That's how it goes, 
Oom-pah-pah! Oom-pah-pah!
Ev'ryone knows.
They all suppose what they want to suppose
When they hear ... oom-pah-pah!

ABBA MEDLEY

My, my, at Waterloo Napoleon did surrender,
Oh yeah, and I have met my destiny in quite a sim’lar way
The history book on the shelf,
It’s always repeating itself

Waterloo - I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo - Promise to love you for evermore
Waterloo - Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo - Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa, wa, wa, wa, waterloo - Finally facing my Waterloo

- o -

So when you're near me, darling can't you hear me, S. O. S.
The love you gave me, nothing else can save me, S. O. S.
When you're gone,
How can I even try to go on?
When you're gone,
Though I try how can I carry on?

- o -

Tonight the Super Trouper lights are gonna find me,
Shining like the sun,
Smiling, having fun,
Feeling like a number one
Tonight the Super Trouper beams are gonna blind me
But I won't feel blue,
Like I always do,
'Cause somewhere in the crowd there's you.

- o -

Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Won't somebody help me chase the shadows away
Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight
Take me through the darkness to the break of the day

- o -

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything, w-o-o-o-oh

Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again?
My my, just how much I've missed you
Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know,
My my, I could never let you go.

- o -

I work all night, I work all day,
to pay the bills I have to pay
Ain't it sad
And still there never seems to be
a single penny left for me
That's too bad
In my dreams I have a plan
If I got me a wealthy man
I wouldn't have to work at all,
I'd fool around and have a ball...

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man's world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man's world
Aha-ahaaa
All the things I could do
If I had a little money
It's a rich man's world

You can dance, you can jive, 
Having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, 
Digging the Dancing Queen

Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for the place to go
Where they play the right music,
getting in the swing
You come in to look for a king

Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance...

You are the Dancing Queen, 
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, 
Feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah,
You can dance, you can jive, 
Having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, 
Digging the Dancing Queen

- o -

So I say thank you for the music,
the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

PATRIOTIC MEDLEY

When Britain first, at Heaven's command, 
Arose from out the azure main,
Arose, arose, arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter, the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sang this strain: 

"Rule, Britannia! Brittania, rule the waves; 
Britons never will be slaves."
"Rule, Britannia! Brittania, rule the waves; 
Britons never will be slaves."

- o -

There'll always be an England
While there's a country lane.
Wherever there's a cottage small beside a field of grain.
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street;
Wherever there's a turning wheel, a million marching feet.

It's a long way to Tipperary, 
It's a long way to go.

But my heart's right there!

Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.
While you've a lucifer to light your fag.

What's the use of worrying?
It never was worthwhile.
So, pack up your troubles in your old kit bag
And smile, smile, smile.

- o -

Land of hope and glory, mother of the free,
How shall we extol thee, who are born of thee?
Wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set;
God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet,
God, who made thee might, make thee mightier yet.

- o -

We'll meet again don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.
Keep smilin' through just like you always do,
Till the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.
So will you please say hello to the folks that I know,
Tell them I won't be long.
They'll be happy to know that as you saw me go 
I was singing this song.
We'll meet again don't know where, don't know when,
But I know we'll meet again some sunny day.

GOODBYE MEDLEY

Good-byee! Good-byee
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee.
Tho' it's hard to part, I know, 
I'll be tickled to death to go. 
Don't cry-ee! Don't sigh-ee!
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee.
Bonsoir, old thing! 
Cheerio! Chin-chin!
Nah-poo! Toodle-oo! Good-byee!

I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
Had a little drink about an hour ago, 
And it's gone right to my head.

You can always hear my singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Those were the day, oh, yes those were the days

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me?

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Toodle-luma-luma, toodle-luma-luma, toodle-eye-ay
Any umbrellas, any umbrellas to fix today?
Bring your parasol, it may be small, it may be big;
He repairs it all with what you call a “thing-um-a-jig.”
Pitter patter patter, pitter patter patter,
It looks like rain.
Let it pitter patter, let it pitter patter,
Don’t mind the rain.
He’ll mend your umbrella then go on his way,
Singin’ “Toodle-luma-luma-toodle-ay,
Toodle-luma-luma-toodle-ay,

Underneath the arches 
We dream our dreams away.
Underneath the arches
On cobblestone we lay.
Ev'ry night you'll find us 
Tired out and worn.
Happy when the daylight comes creeping
Heralding the dawn.
Sleeping when it's raining
And sleeping when it's fine.
I hear the trains rattle by above.
Pavement is our pillow no matter where we stray.
Underneath the arches we dream our dreams away.

Strollin', just strollin', 
In the cool of the evening air,
I don't envy the rich in their automobiles,
For a motor car is phoney,
I'd rather have shanks's pony
When I'm strollin', just strollin',
With the light of the moon above,
Ev'ry night I go out strollin',
And I know my luck is rollin', 
When I'm strollin', with the one ... I ... love!

DAD’S ARMY THEME (1968)

Who do you think you are kidding Mister Hitler,
If you think we're on the run? 
We are the boys who will stop your little game,
We are the boys who will make you think again.
'Cause who do you think you are kidding Mister Hitler,
If you think old England's done? 
Mister Brown goes off to town on the eight twenty one,
But he comes home each evening and he's ready with his gun. 
So who do you think you are kidding Mister Hitler,
If you think old England's done?

So ev’ry Friday, whatever comes along,
I get up early and sing this little song:

Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run,
Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run, run, run.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, goes the farmer’s gun,

He'll get by without his rabbit pie.

OLD TIME LOVE SONG MEDLEY

You made me love you 
I didn't wanna do it, 
I didn't wanna do it,
You made me want you, 
And all the time I knew, 
I guess I always knew it,
You made me happy sometimes 
You made me glad.
But there were times dear, 
You made me feel so bad.

You made me sigh for, 
I didn't wanna tell you, 
I didn't wanna tell you.
I want some love that's true,
Yes I do, 'deed I do, you know I do.
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, what I cry for, 
You know you got the brand of kisses that I'd die for,
You know you made me love you.

She's my lady love, she is my dove, my baby love,
She's no gal for sittin' down to dream,
She's the only queen Laguna knows;
I know she likes me, 
I know she likes me
Because she says so;
She is my Lily of Laguna,
She is my Lily and my Rose.

Oh! You beautiful doll, 
You great big beautiful doll.
Let me put my arms about you 
I could never live without you,
Oh! You beautiful doll, 
You great big beautiful doll.
If you ever leave me how my heart will ache,
I want to hug you, but I fear you'd break.
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, you beautiful doll.

- o -

If you were the only girl in the world and I were the only boy,
Nothing else would matter in the world today,
We could go on loving in the same old way.
A Garden of Eden just made for two with nothing to mar our joy.
I would say such wonderful things to you,
There would be such wonderful things to do,
If you were the only girl in the world and I were the only boy.

BANANA MEDLEY

I get along without sugar
I never drink any tea
Eggs and bacon, beef and ham,
These things don’t bother me
I never miss eating chicken
To me it just don’t mean a thing
There’s just one thing that I crave
And that’s why you’ll hear me sing: 

When can I have a banana again, tell me mother do? 
When can I have a banana again, like I used to do? 
I like ‘em for breakfast, I like ‘em for lunch. 
I don’t mind ‘em single or all in a bunch. 
When can I have a banana again, tell me mother do? 

[REPEAT]

- o- 

I've seen lots of funny things in my time, 
But there's one thing that I've not seen up to now. 
For year and years and years I've kept on searching, 
But I always seem to have bad luck somehow. 
To find the thing I'm searching for, all round the world I've been,
And now I'm goin' to tell you what it is I haven't seen: 

Well, I've never, never, never, never,
I've never seen a straight banana.
I've searched ev'ry town,
I've searched ev'ry town.
I've seen bananas standing up, and seen them lying down.
I've tried ev'rywhere to find one,
Africa, Jamaica and Havana,
But I've never, never, never, never,
I've never seen a straight banana. 

- o - 

Yes! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today.
We've string beans and HONions, cabBAHges and scallions
And all kinds of fruit and say,
We have an old fashioned toMAHto 
Long island poTAHto
But yes! We have no bananas
We have no bananas today. 

- o - 

Strolling down the Strand
With a banana in my hand
Hey ho, away we go
Boys and gals, jolly good pals
All in a row 
We go hand in hand
And we don't need any big brass band
Spirits high, as we cry
"Hi, tee, iddly, I, tee, aye"
Strolling down the dear old Strand

I’M GONNA GET LIT UP …

I'm going to get lit up when the lights go up in London;
I'm going to get lit up as I've never been before
You will find me on the tiles;
You will find me wreathed in smiles;
I'm going to get lit up - I'll be visible for miles!
The city will set up when the lights go up in London;
We'll all be lit up as the Strand was, only more, much more
And before the party's played out;
They will fetch the fire brigade out
To the littest uppist scene you ever saw!

I'm going to get pickled when they light up Piccadilly;
I'm going to get pickled as I've never been before
From the fountains wine will flow;
On the rolling crowds below;
While I'm on top of Eros - shooting arrows from his bow!
The people will perk up when they light up Piccadilly;
The whole ecstatic population will be canned, canned, canned
Thorough our gins and angosturas we’ll see little pale pink Führers
Hi-de-heiling from to Circus to the Strand!

I'm going to get unsedately so serenely stinking;
I'm going to get stinking as I've never been before
When the dogs have had their day
And the fight has had it's way
We'll all be swapping battle dress for bottle dress that day!
I'm going to get positively, permanently, pie-eyed
The day we finally exterminate the Huns, Huns, Huns
There'll be joy and there'll be laughter
And there'll be no morning after
For we'll all be drunk for months and months and months!

WE’LL GATHER LILACS

We'll gather lilacs in the Spring again
And walk together down an English lane
Until our hearts have learned to sing again
When you come home once more.
And in the evening by the firelight's glow
You'll hold me close and never let me go
Your eyes will tell me all I long to know
When you come home once more.

AMERICAN IMPORTS OF WW2

Pardon me, boy, is that the Chattanooga choo-choo? 
Track twenty-nine, boy, you can gimme a shine 
I can afford to board a Chattanooga choo choo 
I've got my fare and just a trifle to spare 

You leave the Pennsylvania Station 'bout a quarter to four,
Read a magazine and then you're in Baltimore, 
Dinner in the diner 
Nothing could be finer
Than to have your ham n' eggs in Carolina. 
When you hear the whistle blowin' eight to the bar 
Then you know that Tennessee is not very far, 
Shovel all the coal in,
Gotta keep it rollin'
Woo, woo, Chattanooga there you are 

- o -

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me, 
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me, NO NO NO! 
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me 
Till I come marching home. 

Don't go walking down lovers' lane with anyone else but me, 
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me, NO NO NO! 
Don't go walking down lovers' lane with anyone else but me 
Till I come marching home. 

I just got word from a guy who heard from the guy next door to me, 
That a girl he met just loves to pet,
And it fits you to a "T".
So don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me 
Till I come marching home.

- o -

Mairzy doats and dozy doats 
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too,
Wouldn't you?
Mairzy doats and dozy doats 
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too,
Wouldn't you?

If the words sound queer and funny to your ear,
A little bit jumbled and jivey, 
Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats 
And little lambs eat ivy. " 

Oh, mairzy doats and dozy doatsA
And liddle lamzy divey
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you? 
A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you? 

- o -

There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover, 
Tomorrow, just you wait and see.
There'll be love and laughter, and peace ever after, 
Tomorrow, when the world is free.
The shepherd will tend his sheep,
The valley will bloom again,
And Jimmy will go to sleep in his own little room again.
There'll be bluebirds over the white cliffs of Dover, 
Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

A NIGHTINGALE SANG IN BERKELEY SQUARE

That certain night, the night we met
There was magic abroad in the air,
There were angels dining at the Ritz,
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.
I may be right, I may be wrong, 
But I'm perfectly willing to swear
That when you turned and smiled at me
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square. 

The moon that lingered over London town, 
Poor puzzled moon, he wore a frown. 
How could he know we two were so in love? 
The whole darn world seemed upside down. 
The streets of town were paved with stars; 
It was such a romantic affair. 
And, as we kissed and said 'goodnight',
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

How strange it was, how sweet and strange
There was never a dream to compare
With that hazy crazy night we met
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square
This heart of mine beat loud and fast
Like a merry-go-round at a fair
And we were dancing cheek to cheek
And a nightingale sang in Berkeley square.

The dawn came stealing up all gold and blue
To interrupt our rendezvous.
I still remember how you smiled and said
“Was that a dream or was it true?”
Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing feet of Astaire
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley square.

I know ‘cos I was there
That night in Berkeley square.

WHEEZY ANNA

Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna,
Down where the watermelons grow
Wheezy Anna, Wheezy Anna, 
She’s the grandest girl I know.

LONDON PRIDE

London Pride has been handed down to us. 
London Pride is a flower that's free. 
London Pride means our own dear town to us.
And our pride it forever will be. 

Woa Liza, see the coster barrows,
Vegetable marrows and the fruit piled high.
Woa Liza, little London sparrows,
Covent Garden Market where the costers cry.
Cockney feet mark the beat of history.
Ev'ry street pins a memory down.
Nothing ever can quite replace
The grace of London Town. 

There's a little city flower,
Ever spring unveiling,
Growing in the crevices,
By some London railing.
Though it has a Latin name
In town and countryside,
We in England call it London Pride.

London Pride has been handed down to us. 
London Pride is a flower that's free. 
London Pride means our own dear town to us.
And our pride it forever will be. 

Hey, lady, when the day is dawning,
See the policeman yawning on his lonely beat.
Gay lady, Mayfair in the morning,
Hear your footsteps echo in the empty street.
Early rain, and the pavement's glistening,
All Park Lane in a shimmering gown.
Nothing ever could break or harm
The charm of London Town.

In our city, darkened now,
Street and square and crescent,
We can feel our living past
In our shadowed present.
Ghosts beside our starlit Thames
Who lived and loved and died
Keep throughout the ages London Pride.

London Pride has been handed down to us. 
London Pride is a flower that's free. 
London Pride means our own dear town to us.
And our pride it forever will be. 

Grey city, stubbornly implanted,
Taken so for granted for a thousand years.
Stay, city, smokily enchanted,
Cradle of our memories, of our hopes and fears.
Every Blitz, your resistance toughening.
From the Ritz to the Anchor and Crown,
Nothing ever could override the pride of London Town.

GOODBYE MEDLEY (VE DAY)

Good-byee! Good-byee
Wipe the tear, baby dear, from your eye-ee.
Tho' it's hard to part, I know, 
I'll be tickled to death to go. 
Don't cry-ee! Don't sigh-ee!
There's a silver lining in the sky-ee.
Bonsoir, old thing! 
Cheerio! Chin-chin!
Nah-poo! Toodle-oo! Good-byee!

- o -

Show me the way to go home,
I'm tired and I want to go to bed,
Had a little drink about an hour ago, 
And it's gone right to my head.
Where-ever I may roam,
On land, or sea, or foam,
You can always hear my singing this song,
Show me the way to go home.

- o -

Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye
Cheerio, here I go on my way.
Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye
With a cheer, not a tear, make it gay.
Give me a smile, I can keep all the while,
In my heart while I'm away.
Till we meet once again you and I,
Wish me luck, as you wave me goodbye.

- o -

Goodnight sweetheart, 
All my pray'rs are for you,
Goodnight sweetheart, 
I'll be watching o'er you,
Tears and parting may make us forlorn
But with the dawn, a new day is born ... and we’ll say:
Goodnight sweetheart, 
Sleep will banish sorrow,
Goodnight sweetheart, 
Till we meet tomorrow,
All your sadness, soon will turn to gladness,
Goodnight sweetheart, goodnight.
