(Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay
 
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
I'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
Watching the ships roll in
And then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
 
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
 
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
I've had nothing to live for
Look like nothin's gonna come my way
 
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
 
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
 
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
 
Now, I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
 
 
Sweet Caroline
 
Where it began
I can't begin to know when
But then I know it's growin' strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believe you'd come along?
 
Hands
Touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touching me, touchin' you
 
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
 
But now I look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when holdin' you?
 
Warm
Touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me, touchin' you
 
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would, oh, no, no
 
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline
 
The Girl From Ipanema
 
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, each one she passes goes, "Ah"
 
When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gently
That when she passes, each one she passes goes, "Ah"
 
Oh, but he watch her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
 
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles, but she doesn't see
 
Oh, but he sees her so sadly
How can he tell her he loves her?
Yes, he would give his heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at him
 
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes, he smiles, but she doesn't see
 
She just doesn't see
No, she doesn't see
But she doesn't see
She doesn't see
 
 
 
Shower the People
 
You can play the game
You can act out the part
Though you know
It wasn't written for you
Tell me how can you stand there
With your broken heart
Ashamed of playin' the fool?
 
One thing can lead to another
It doesn't take any sacrifice
Oh, Father and Mother
Sister and brother
If it feels nice
Don't think twice
 
Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine
If you only will
Do as I say
 
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine
If you only will
 
You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
When you're all by yourself alone
 
Once you tell somebody
The way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say
About the squeaky wheel
Always getting the grease
 
Better to
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine
If you only will, what I like to do to you
 
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better, if you only will
 
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna work out fine
If you only will, what I like to do to you
 
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better, if you only will
 
Peaceful Easy Feeling
 
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
I want to sleep with you in the desert tonight
With a billion stars all around
 
‘Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
‘Cause I'm already standing on the ground
 
And I found out a long time ago
What a woman can do to your soul
Ah, but she can't take you anyway
You don't already know how to go
 
I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
‘Cause I'm already standing on the ground
 
I get this feeling I may know you
As a lover and a friend
But this voice keeps whispering in my other ear
Tells me I may never see you again
 
‘Cause I get a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
‘Cause I'm already standing,
I'm already standing
Yes, I'm already standing on the ground
 
Blackbird
 
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
 
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
 
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark black night
 
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark black night
 
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
 
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
 
Sally, When The Wine Runs Out
 
Well
I met Sally at a late night dive bar
She don't dance, but she downs her drinks
Heard through a friend, she's a born again wild card
She was telling me wild things
Well, she was telling me wild things
 
Lives down the street past the 7-Eleven
Just close enough that I spent the night
She grabbed my hand at the intersection
I spilled my guts at the red light
 
Sally
That feeling's coming around
Please don't go falling in love
Then disappear when the wine runs out (hey)

Sally
I'll buy a couple of rounds
Don't let me think I'm enough
Then disappear when the wine runs out
 
Well
I open up while she's flipping through pages
Getting lonely as the days get dark
If you're bored, and your mind starts changing
Maybe just give me a head start
 
And I, I see the glass in your eyes
Just trying to keep it alive
For crying out loud (oh)
 
Sally
That feeling's coming around
Please don't go falling in love
Then disappear when the wine runs out (hey)

Sally
I'll buy a couple of rounds
Don't let me think I'm enough
Then disappear when the wine runs out
 
Aw, shit, here we go again
I'm falling headfirst (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Ankles hit the two-step
Sally makes my head hurt (hey)
Heard through the grapevine
She can be a diva
Cold like Minnesota
Hotter than a fever (hey)
 
Aw, shit, here we go again
I'm falling headfirst
Ankles hit the two-step
Sally makes my head hurt (hey)
Heard through the grapevine
She can be a diva
Cold like Minnesota
Hotter than a fever (hey)
 
Sally (hey)
That feeling's coming around (ah, ah)
Please don't go falling in love (yeah)
Then disappear when the wine runs out (hey)

Sally
I'll buy a couple of rounds (I'll buy a couple)
Don't let me think I'm enough
Then disappear when the wine runs out
 
Hey Jude
 
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.
 
And anytime you feel the pain, hey Jude, refrain,
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders.
For well you know that it's a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder.
 
Hey Jude, don't let me down.
You have found her, now go and get her.
Remember to let her into your heart,
Then you can start to make it better.
 
Better better better better better, oh.
Na na na nananana, nannana, hey Jude...
(repeat X number of times, fade)
 
Lean on Me
 
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
 
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
 
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill
Those of your needs that you don't let show
 
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
 
So just call on me brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
 
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
 
Lean on me
When you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on...
For it won't be long
Till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
