Let Us Take You For A Ride Composer(s): Myers - Cass Performer(s): Cliff Richard & The Michael Sammes Singers
Cliff: The bush upon the rotor pump Is pushed into the floater sump It's wearing out the grunion teeth By bearing on the cog beneath Which means in terms of tension swings The seams of your suspension springs In cyclic thirds, are set apart In very simple words, dear ladies Your car won't start
All: So we're making this offer Ride with us, come ride with us Through the countryside with us For our bus has every comfort inside We are pleading Please let us take you for a ride
Cliff: To try to wrench the gyro sphere Without a bench would take all year Don't risk it like this on the road The brisket feed light might explode
Cyril, Steve & Ed: The ball valve's past the hydro trend There's something nasty round the bend The loafer tank is running slow
All: To put it very frankly Ladies, your car won't go So ride with us Come ride with us Better be alive with us Here's an offer That is quite bona fide We are pleading Please let us take you for a ride
Cliff: You know I wouldn't be surprised That gasket hood looks pulverised The shock recoil is now reversed At first youd boil and then youd burst Compression seep will soon distend The leak that leaks in your big end The lousy coke has got a hitch Around the choke adjustment switch Your piston spout is dynamite In cutting out the parking light And, from its shake, your outside brake Is needing a new drum!
All: In fact make no mistake You've really had it chum
Cliff: (with others singing different words at the same time) So ride with us Come ride with us
Youll be satisfied with us Past the forest And the riverside Take a tour with us That's really nation-wide For as guys we're really qualified There's no need to look terrified For when you have tried You will say - wide-eyed! We are just what the doctor specified We are pleading, please let us take you for a Ride with us, ride with us
Brighton Rock Composer(s): Brian May Performer(s): Queen; Fastbacks
Happy little day Jimmy went away Met his little Jenny on a public holiday A happy pair they made so decorously laid 'Neath the gay illuminations all along the promenade It's so good to know there's still a little magic in the air I'll weave my spell
Jenny will you stay tarry with me pray Nothing 'ere need come between us Tell me love what do you say? Oh no I must away to my mum in disarray If my mother should discover how I spent my holiday It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air I'll say farewell
Oh rock of ages do not crumble Love is breathing still Oh lady moon shine down A little people magic if you will
Jenny pines away writes a letter ev'ry day We must ever be together Nothing can my love erase Oh no I'm compromised I must apologize if my lady should discover How I spent my holidays
Let Us Pray Composer(s): Buddy Kaye - Bernie Weisman Performer(s): Elvis Presley
Come praise the lord for he is good Mmm come join in love and brotherhood We'll hear the word and bring our gifts of bread and wine And we'll be blessed beneath the sign
So let us pray together, pray together Pray with the one mighty voice (heavenly voice) And let us sing together, sing together Pray and we'll rejoice (we'll rejoice)
When strangers reach out for your hand (for your hand) Respond to them and understand (heaven obeyed to understand) We'll rise as one to calm the storm outside the gate (calm the storm) With faith in him we'll never leave (never leave)
So let us pray together, pray together Pray with the one mighty voice (heavenly voice) And let us sing together, sing together Pray and we'll rejoice (we'll rejoice)
(we'll rejoice) The love of god is on our side (love is, love is on our side) We have the strength to move the tide (we'll move the tide) The world will say so, there'll be peace and love for all (love for all) And we must give our brothers love
So let us pray together, pray together Pray with the one mighty voice (heavenly voice) And let us sing together, sing together Pray and we'll rejoice (we'll rejoice)
Love for all, love for all to the lord We'll rejoice love for all to the lord We'll rejoice love for all to the lord We'll rejoice for the lord

We were sauced right there on Brighton beach You a goth and I was such a peach I sought to be the best at it PC Plod he still arrested it We're getting over it We're sweating over it That makes you happy I'm happy too You're game in spite of everything and then she'll be some things Your name carved on my Brighton rock My name can be your mental block We're getting over it We're sweating over it That makes you happy I'm happy too

Brighton Hill, where the sky changes its color Hopes are high, there's no other place I'd rather be Find your dream by a tree out in the meadow Where the flowers are yellow, life is what it seems
Brighton Hill is a feelin' within me Anybody goin' that way? Brighton Hill is a friend & will be Till my dying day Till my dying day I've got a lot of livin' to do I've got a lot of livin' to do
Brighton Hill, with its green fields of clover That's where kindness reigns over everything around & livin' good on a bicycle Sunday You can have such a fun day up on Brighton Hill
Brighton Hill is a feelin' within me Anybody goin' that way? Brighton Hill is a friend & will be Till my dying day Anybody goin' that way? Brighton Hill, a feelin' within me Anybody goin' that way? ...
If you find yourself here on my side of town I pray that youd come to my door And talk to me like you dont know what we ever fought about Because I dont remember anymore I just know that she warms my heart And knows what all my imperfections are And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar And I just know that she warms my heart And knows what all my imperfections are And she said that I was the brightest little firefly in her jar

Let there be you Let there be me Let there be oysters Under the sea
Let there be wind An occasional rain Chile con carne Sparkling champagne
Let there be birds To sing in the trees Someone to bless me Whenever I sneeze
Let there be cuckoos A lark and a dove But first of all, please Let there be love
Let there be cuckoos A lark and a dove But first of all, please Let there be love ...
Bright White Composer(s): Shawn Phillips Performer(s): Shawn Phillips
Now I told you a long time ago that I'd hold you never let you go behind me anywhere I might flow And I know you believe in me And I hope you are seeing my dream A whole lot of people in this world Just running around
And it's a long way in the face of fear and there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore and money is the name in the game of fame but the music don't come out quite the same anymore
It's all about a bright white light shining through your mind and guiding your way Mama put your arms around me fill me with your joy and rock me all night
I told you a long time ago that I'd hold you never let you go behind me anywhere I might flow And I'll hold you in winter and spring and behold you in everything I sing Being in your arms is just like coming home
And it's a long way in the face of fear and there's a lot of men left without any tears anymore and money is the name in the game of fame but the music don't come out quite the same anymore
It's all about a bright white light shining through your mind and guiding your way Mama put your arms around me fill me with your joy and rock me all night
Let The Worry Bird Worry For You Composer(s): Leo Robin - Jule Styne Performer(s): Nellie Lutcher & Her Rhythm
Everyone has his share of care and woe Even in Lovers Lane theres rain and snow We all have to pay the piper So why be a gloomy griper Forget regret, dont let it get you low, no
Let the worry bird worry for you Let the worry bird fuss and stew Hes a wonderful pet And when you get the jitters, he twitters Let the worry bird worry his head Have the time of your life instead Whats a tumble or two As long as you can keep well, sleep well
Every cloud is silver-lined, bear that in mind When old man trouble gets tough And the going gets rough Let the worry bird worry for you Its remarkable what hell do Hell consider it fun to be your understudy So buddy, why should you be blue? Let the worry bird sing the blues for you

Chorus: (Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la) Baby, baby, you & I will be seein'... Bright shiny colors so strange and new Bright shiny colors I'll see with you Bright shiny colors, that's what I'll say Bright shiny colors run through my head
(Sha la la la la la la la la la, sha la la la la la la la la la)
People's faces painted just like clowns We'll ride elevators up and down We'll go places no one ever goes We'll go walking on our own rainbows, and we'll sing
Let The Wind Carry Me Composer(s): Joni Mitchell Performer(s): Joni Mitchell
Papa's faith is people Mama she believes in cleaning Papa's faith is in people Mama she's always cleaning Papa brought home the sugar Mama taught me the deeper meaning She don't like my kick pleat skirt She don't like my eyelids painted green She don't like me staying up late In my high-heeled shoes Living for that rock'n'roll dancing scene Papa says leave the girl alone, mother She's looking like a movie queen
Mama thinks she spoilt me Papa knows somehow he set me free Mama thinks she spoilt me rotten She blames herself But papa he blesses me It's a rough road to travel Mama let go now It's always called for me Sometimes I get that feeling And I want to settle And raise a child up with somebody I get that strong longing And I want to settle And raise a child up with somebody But it passes like the summer I'm a wild seed again Let the wind carry me

Let The Rest Of The World Go By Composer(s): Ernest Ball - Karen Brennan Performer(s): Dick Haymes and multiple other artists
Is the struggle and strife we find in this life Really worth while, after all I've been wishing today I could just run away Out where the west winds call
With someone like you, a pal good and true I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find Some place that's known to God alone Just a spot to call our own We'll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease Out there beneath a kindly sky We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west And let the rest of the world go by
Is the future to hold just struggles for gold While the real world waits outside Away out on the breast of the wonderful west Across the Great Divide
With someone like you, a pal good and true I'd like to leave it all behind and go and find Some place that's known to God alone Just a spot to call our own We'll Find perfect peace, where joys never cease Out there beneath a kindly sky We'll build a sweet little nest somewhere in the west And let the rest of the world go by

I'm wondering if dreams come true Last night my love, I dreamed of you I dreamed that I kissed you caressed you and blessed you you wonder why I love you so The reason I will tell to you the many charms about you tell me ne'er to doubt you surely you'll be true

Your bright eyes are like the sunshine tow'ring from above The birds, the trees, the perfumed flowers blend your songs of love It seems the gates of Heav'n are opened with your smiling face The world's a glow for now you know that's just why I love you so
Bright Eyes Composer(s): Mike Batt Originally performed by: Art Garfunkel Covered by various other artists
Is it a kind of dream, floating out on the tide Following the river of death downstream, oh, is it a dream? There's a fog along the horizon, a strange glow in the sky And nobody seems to know where you go, and what does it mean Oh, oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
Is it a kind of shadow, reaching into the night Wandering over the hills unseen, or is it a dream? There's a high wind in the trees, a cold sound in the air And nobody ever knows where you go, and where do you start Oh, oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire Bright eyes, how can you close and fail? How can the light that burned so brightly Suddenly burn so pale? Bright eyes
