Let's Go to San Francisco
Let's go to San Francisco
Where the flowers grow
So very high

Sunshine in San Francisco
Makes your mind grow
Up to the sky

Lots of sunny people
Walking hand in hand
They're the lucky people
They have found their land

Let's go to San Francisco
Let the wind blow
Right through your hair

Go down to San Francisco
See the night full
Of people there

Let's go to San Francisco
Where the flowers grow
So very high

Sunshine in San Francisco
Makes your mind grow
Up to the sky

It's the summer in Frisco

Bend Me Shape Me
You are all the woman I need, and baby, you know it
Know it - know it - know it
You can make this beggar a king, a clown or a poet
Poet - poet - poet
I'll give you all that I own
You got me standing in line
Out in the cold, pay me some mind

Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
Long as you love me, it's all right
Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
You got the power to turn on the light

Ev'rybody tells me I'm wrong to want you so badly
Badly - badly - badly
But there's a force driving me on, I'd follow it gladly
Gladly - gladly - gladly
So let them laugh, I don't care
'Cause I got nothin' to hide
All that I want is you by my side

Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
Long as you love me, it's all right
Bend me, shape me, anyway you want me
You got the power to turn on the light - yeah

Bend me, shape me...

Come Together
Here come old flat top, he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeballs, he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine, he got toe jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Come together right now over me

He bag production, he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard, he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knees
Hold you in his armchair, you can feel his disease

Come together right now over me

He rollercoaster, he got early warning
He got Muddy Water, he one Mojo filter
He say, "One and one and one is three"
Got to be goodlooking 'cause he's so hard to see

Come together right now over me

Sunny
Sunny, yesterday my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really eased the pain
Now the dark days are done, and the bright days are here
My Sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny, one so true, I love you

Sunny, thank you for the sunshine bouquet
Sunny, thank you for the love you brought my way
You gave to me your all and all
And now I feel ten feet tall
Sunny, one so true, I love you

Sunny, thank you for the truth you've let me see
Sunny, thank you for the facts from A to Z
My life was torn like a wind-blown sand
Then a rock was formed when we held hands
Sunny, one so true, I love you

Sunny, thank you for the smile upon your face
Mm, Sunny, thank you, thank you for that gleam that flows with grace
You're my spark of nature's fire
You're my sweet complete desire
Sunny, one so true, yes, I love you

Sunny, yesterday all my life was filled with rain
Sunny, you smiled at me and really, really eased the pain
Now the dark days are done, and the bright days are here
My Sunny one shines so sincere
Sunny, one so true, I love you
I love you, I love you, say I love you

Hush
Na nanana nanana nanana - come on - haha yeah

Got a certain little girl that's on my mind
Good gosh o' mine, she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I've ever had
And sometimes she shows me she feels so bad

Na nanana nanana nanana - yeah

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now

Good love, early in the morning
Good love, late in the midnight hour
Good love, I want it and I need you
Good love, I gotta gotta have it

She's got a loving like quicksand
It only took one touch of her hand
It blew my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat, y'all, and I can't sleep

Na nanana nanana nanana - tell true

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling out my name, y'all
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Didn't I hear her calling out my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now

Good love, early in the morning
Good love, late in the midnight hour
Good love, I want it and I need you
Good love, I gotta gotta have it - ssshh

Mmmh, hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now

Good love, early in the morning
Good love, late in the midnight
Good love, I want it and I need you
Good love, I gotta gotta have it
Good love... my my my my my my my my my baby
Ooh yeah, come on

No Matter What
No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, oh girl with you
No matter what you do
I will always be around
Won't you tell me what you found girl, ooh girl won't you

Knock down the old brick wall and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be

No matter where you go
There will always be a place
Can't you see it in my face girl, ooh girl won't you

Knock down the old brick wall and be a part of it all
Nothing to say, nothing to see, nothing to do
If you would give me all as I would give it to you
Nothing would be, nothing would be, nothing would be

No matter what you are
I will always be with you
Doesn't matter what you do girl, ooh girl with you
Ooh girl, you girl, won't you
Ooh girl, you girl, won't you

Think
You better think - think
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Think - think, think
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Let's go back, let's go back, let's go way on way back when
I didn't even know you, you couldn't 've been too much more than 10 - just a child
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degrees
But it don't take too much high IQ to see what you're doin' to me

You better think - think
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Yeah, think - think, think
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

Here goes freedom - freedom, let's have some freedom - freedom
Oh, freedom, yeah, freedom
Right now, freedom - freedom, oh, freedom - freedom
We need some freedom, oh, freedom - alright now
Hey - think about it - you - think about it

There ain't nothing you could ask
I can answer you, but I won't - I won't
Well, I was gonna change, but I'm not
If you keep doing things I don't

You better think - think
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Oh, oh, think - think
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walkin' round ev'ry day
Playin' games and takin' scores
Tryin' to make other people lose their mind
Well, be careful you don't lose yours

Oh, think - think
Think about what you're tryin' to do to me
Ooh-hoo, think - think
Let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me - need me - and I need you - don't you know
And without each other there ain't nothing people can do
Oh, yeah, think about it, baby - what you're tryin' to do to me
Right on, baby, think about it right now
Yeah, right now - ooh

Time of the Season
It's the time of the season
When love runs high
In this time give it to me easy
And let me try with pleasured hands

To take you in the sun to promised lands
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving

What's your name? - What's your name?
Who's your daddy? - Who's your daddy?
He rich - is he rich like me?
Has he taken - has he taken
Any time - any time
To show - to show you what you need to live?

Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving

What's your name? - What's your name?
Who's your daddy? - Who's your daddy?
He rich - is he rich like me?
Has he taken - has he taken
Any time - any time
To show - to show you what you need to live?

Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving
9.
Itchycoo Park
Over bridge of sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreaming spires
To Itchycoo park, that's where I've been

What did you do there? I got high
What did you feel there? Well I cried
But why the tears there? Tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

I tell you what I'll do - what will you do?
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school - won't that be cool?
Why go to learn the words of fools

What do we do there? We'll get high
What will we touch there? We'll touch the sky
But why the tears there? I tell you why
It's all too beautiful - beautiful, it's all too beautiful - beautiful
It's all too beautiful - beautiful, it's all too beautiful - beautiful

I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun

It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful - ha
It's all too beautiful - beautiful, it's all too beautiful - beautiful
It's all too beautiful - beautiful, it's all too beautiful - beautiful

In-a-Gadda-da-Vida
In-a-gadda-da-vida, honey
Don't you know that I'm lovin' you
In-a-gadda-da-vida, baby

Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)
Lay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown

We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace

Lay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown

So raise candles high 'cause if you don't
We could stay black against the night
Oh raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown

We were so close there was no room
We bled inside each other's wounds
We all had caught the same disease
And we all sang the songs of peace
Some came to sing, some came to pray
Some came to keep the dark away
So raise candles high 'cause if you don't
We could stay black against the sky
Oh oh raise them higher again
And if you do we could stay dry against the rain

Lay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown
Lay down lay down lay it all down
Let your white birds smile
At the ones who stand and frown

Shakin' All Over
When you move in right up close to me
That's when I get the shakes all over me

Quivers down the back bone
I got the shakes down the knee bone
Yeah, the tremors in the thigh bone
Shakin' all over

Just the way that you say goodnight to me
Brings that feelin' on inside of me

Quivers down the backbone
I've got the shivers down the thigh bone
Yeah, the tremors in the back bone
Shakin' all over

Quivers down the back bone
Yeah, the shakes in the knee bone
I've got the tremors in the thigh bone
Shakin' all over

Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
Well, you make me shake and I like it, baby
15.
Heartful of Soul
Sick at heart and lonely, deep in dark despair
Thinking one thought only, where is she, tell me where
And if she says to you, she don't love me
Just give her my message, tell her of my plea

And I know, well, if she had me back again
Oh, I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul

And I know, if she had me back again
Oh, I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul

She's been gone such a long time, longer than I can bear
But if she says, she wants me, tell her that I'll be there
And if she says to you, she don't love me
Just give her my message, tell her of my plea

And I know, well, if she had me back again
Oh, I would never make her sad
I've got a heart full of soul

Little Wing
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It's alright she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.

Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing

California Dreamin'
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A.
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown
And the sky is grey
I've been for a walk
On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her
I could leave today
California dreamin'
On such a winter's day
California dreaming'
On such a winter's day
California dreaming'
On such a winter's day
