I CAN'T GET NO--OH NO NO NO
HEY HEY HEY--THAT'S WHAT I SAY (chorus)
WHEN I'M RIDIN' ROUND THE WORLD
AND I'M DOIN' THIS AND I'M SINGIN' THAT
AND I'M TRYIN' TO PLEASE SOME GIRL

SILHOUETTES The Rays (#3,1957)/Herman's Hermits, (#5,1965)
TOOK A WALK AND PASSED YOUR HOUSE LATE LAST NIGHT
ALL THE SHADES WERE PULLED AND DRAWN WAY DOWN TIGHT
FROM WITHIN A DIM LIGHT CAST TWO SILHOUETTES ON THE SHADE
OH WHAT A LOVELY COUPLE THEY MADE
PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOUR WAIST--HELD YOU TIGHT
KISSES I COULD ALMOST TASTE IN THE NIGHT
WONDERED WHY I'M NOT THE GUY
WHOSE SILHOUETTE'S ON THE SHADE
I COULDN'T HIDE THE TEARS IN MY EYES
LOST CONTROL AND RANG YOUR BELL--I WAS SORE
LET ME IN OR ELSE I'LL BEAT DOWN YOUR DOOR
WHEN TWO STRANGERS WHO HAD BEEN
TWO SILHOUETTES ON THE SHADE
SAID TO MY SHOCK "YOU'RE ON THE WRONG BLOCK"
RUSHED DOWN TO YOUR HOUSE WITH WINGS ON MY FEET
LOVED YOU LIKE I'VE NEVER LOVED YOU MY SWEET
VOWED THAT YOU AND I WOULD BE

RID ME OF THE PROBLEM, DO ALL THAT YOU CAN
KEEP ME IN A DAYDREAM, KEEP ME GOIN' STRONG
YOU DON'T WANNA SAVE ME, SAD IS MY SONG
VERY SUPERSTITIOUS, NOTHIN' MORE TO SAY
VERY SUPERSTITIOUS, THE DEVIL'S ON HIS WAY
THIRTEEN MONTH OLD BABY, BROKE THE LOOKIN' GLASS
SEVEN YEARS OF BAD LUCK, THE GOOD THINGS IN YOUR PAST

SWEET HOME ALABAMA Lynyrd Skynyrd (#8,1974)
BIG WHEELS KEEP ON TURNIN'
CARRY ME BACK HOME TO MY KIN
SINGIN' SONGS ABOUT THE SOUTHLAND
LORD, I MISS MY FAMILY AGAIN
CHORUS (after each verse):
SWEET HOME, ALABAMA
WHERE THE SKIES ARE BLUE
SWEET HOME, ALABAMA
LORD, I'M COMIN' HOME TO YOU
I HEARD OLD NEIL WAS TALKIN' ABOUT HER
I HEARD OLD NEIL PUT HER DOWN
I HOPE NEIL YOUNG WILL REMEMBER
SOUTHERN MAN DON'T NEED HIM AROUND ANYHOW
IN BIRMINGHAM THEY LOVE THE GOV'NER
WE ALL DONE WHAT WE COULD DO
NOW WATERGATE DOESN'T BOTHER ME
DOES YOUR CONSCIENCE BOTHER YOU, NOW TELL ME TRUE
