BY THE LIGHT OF THE SILVERY MOON

By the light ( Not the dark but the light )
Of the silvery moon ( Not the sun but the moon )
I want to spoon ( Not the fork but the spoon )
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honeymoon ( Oh! Honeymoon! )
Keep a - shinning in June ( Not in May but in June )
Your silvery beams will bring love dreams
We'll be cuddling soon ( Not too late but too soon )
By the silvery moon (Not the sun but the moon )

MOONLIGHT BAY

We were sailing along (2x)
On the moon light bay (2x)
We could hear the voices singing (singing)
They seemed to say
What did you say
You have stolen my heart
I have stolen your heart
Now don't go away
I won't go away
As we sing love's old sweet song
On the moon light bay

PEARLY SHELLS

Pearly shells
By the ocean
Shinning in the sun
Covering the shore
When I see you
My heart tells me I love YOU!
More than all
Those little pearly shells

Oh hurry hurry home ma
Hurry home to Singapura
To the mountains and the valleys
Hurry home to me

Chorus
I know I know
You have to go
So please hurry back home
I miss you so

On the island of Pulau Ubin
There is a place where we belong to
Where we train to be HOs
Of NPCC.

OLD TEXAS

I'm going to leave, old Texas now
They've got no use for the long - horn cows
They ploughed and fence, my cattle ranch
And the people there are so strange
I'll take my horse, I'll take my rope
And hit the trail upon the slope
I'll bid adios to the Alamo
And turn my head towards Mexico
Toward Mexico ( 3x )
Ah . . . qing ren zai jian

EL CONDOR PASA

I'd rather be a sparrow than a snail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would. Hm -
I'd rather be a hammer than a nail
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would. Hm -
Away, I'd rather sail away
Like a swan that's here and gone
A man gets tied to the ground
He gives the world its saddest sound
Its saddest sound
I rather be a forest than a street
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would
I'd rather feel the earth beneath my feet
Yes I would, if I could, I surely would

FIVE HUNDRED MILES

If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I'm gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles

A hundred miles ( 4x )
You can hear the whistle blow
A hundred miles

Lord I'm one, lord I'm two
Lord I'm three, lord I'm four
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home
Away from home ( 4x )
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home

Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny on my name
Lord I can't go back home this - a - way
This - a - way ( 4x )
Lord I can't go back home this - a - way

SHE WORE A YELLOW RIBBON

Upon her head
She wears a yellow ribbon*
She wears the yellow ribbon in the merry month of May
And if you ask her
For what the hack she wears it
She wears it for the fighter ( anybody )
Who's far far away
Far away ( 2x )
She wears it for the fighter ( anybody )
Who's far far away
Far away ( 2x )

* Keep adding parts as follows:
Neck / golden necklace, Breasts / maxisizer, Groin / yellow panties, Legs / pair of stockings etc.

Behind the door, her father kept a shotgun
Her father keeps a shotgun in the merry month of May
And if you ask him
For what the hack he keeps it
He keeps it for the fighter ( anybody )
Who's far far away
Far away ( 2x )
He keeps it for the fighter ( anybody )
Who's far far away

TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROAD

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountain, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the tree
Younger than the mountains
Blowing like a breeze

Chorus
Country road, take me home
To the place, I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country road

All my memories gather around her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eyes

I hear voices, in the morning
Hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road
I get a feeling that
I should have been home
Yesterday, Yesterday

Chorus

Take me home, country road
Take me home, country road

TITANIC

Oh . . .
We build the ship Titanic
To sail the ocean blue
And we thought we had a ship
That the water would never go through
But the lord of mighty hades
Knew the ship would never land
It was sad when the great ship went down
Oh it was sad ( 2x )
It was sad when the great ship went down to the bottom
All the husbands & wives, little children lost their lives
It was sad when the great ship went down

KOOKABURRA

Kookaburra sits on an old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh kookaburra, laugh, kookaburra
Gay your life must be

Kookaburra sits on an old gum tree
Eating all the gums that he can see
Stop, kookaburra, stop
Kookaburra save some gum for me
