2. Fat Bottomed
Girls (May)
Are you gonna take me home tonight
Ah down beside that red
firelight
Are you gonna let it all hang out
Fat bottomed girls
You make
the rockin' world go round
Hey I was just a skinny lad
Never knew no
good from bad
But I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big
fat Fanny
She was such a naughty nanny
Heap big woman you made a bad boy
out of me
Hey hey!
I've been singing with my band
Across the wire
across the land
I seen ev'ry blue eyed floozy on the way
But their beauty
and their style
Went kind of smooth after a while
Take me to them dirty
ladies every time
Oh won't you take me home tonight?
Oh down beside your
red firelight
Oh and you give it all you got
Fat bottomed girls you make
the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go
round
Hey listen here
Now your mortgages and homes
I got stiffness
in the bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality (I tell you)
Oh but
I still get my pleasure
Still got my greatest treasure
Heap big woman you
gonna make a big man out of me
Now get this
Oh you gonna take me home
tonight (please)
Oh down beside your red firelight
Oh you gonna let it all
hang out
Fat bottomed girls you make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed

Get on your bikes and ride
Oooh

3. Jealousy (Mercury)
Oh how wrong can you be?
Oh
to fall in love
Was my very first mistake
How was I to know
I was far
too much in love too see?
Oh jealousy look at me now
Jealousy you got me
somehow
You gave me no warning
Took me by surprise
Jealousy you led me
on
You couldn't lose you couldn't fail
You had suspicion on my trail
How
how how all my jealousy
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my pride
Now
I'm only left with my own jealousy
Oh how strong can you be
With matters
of the heart?
Life is much too short
To while away with tears
If only
you could see
Just what you do to me
Oh jealousy you tripped me up
Jealousy
you brought me down
You bring me sorrow you cause me pain
Jealousy when
will you let go?
Gotta hold of my possessive mind
Turned me into a jealous
guy
How how how all my jealousy
I wasn't man enough to let you hurt my
pride
Now I'm only left with my own jealousy
But now it matters not
If
I should live or die
'Cause I'm only left with my own jealousy

If You Can't Beat Them (Deacon)
Keep your chin up when you're feelin' lonely
Don't
let them get you down
Ain't no use in your sitting all alone
Hangin' around
for someone to call
Ooh they won't come knocking at all
Don't run and hide
Even
if it hurts you inside
So I said
Give as good as you get
If you can't
beat 'em,join 'em
You'd better do it
'Cause it makes you feel good
If
you can't beat 'em,join 'em
You're never gonna help yourself
Come on
Get
up
You're feelin' good
Keep your fingers off my money
Don't try and
pull me down
You're takin' me out to wine and dine me
Tryin' to wind me
'round and around
Invite me to your little contract Ha! Ha!
Rumour has it
that you could play dirty
I'll tell you what I'll do about that
I'm playing
at the wrong game yeah!
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
You'd better
do it
'Cause it makes you feel good
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
You're
never gonna help yourself
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
You'd better
do it
'Cause it makes you feel good
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em
It's
everyone for themselves
Move on out

8. In Only Seven Days
(Deacon)
Monday the start of my holiday
Freedom for just one week
Feels
good to get away ooh
Tuesday I saw her down on the beach
I stood and
watched a while
And she looked and smiled at me
Wednesday I didn't see
her
I hoped that she'd be back tomorrow
And then on Thursday
My luck
had changed
She stood there all alone
I went and asked her name
I never
thought that this could happen to me
In only seven days
It would take a
hundred or more
For memories to fade
I wish Friday would last for ever
I
held her close to me
I couldn't bear to leave her there
Saturday just
twenty four hours
Oh no I'm going back home on Sunday
Ooh so sad alone
9.
Dreamers Ball (May)
Oh I used to be your baby
Used to be your pride and
joy
You used to take me dancing
Just like any other boy
But now you've
found another partner
And left me like a broken toy
Oh it's someone else
you're takin'
Someone else you're playin' to
Honey though I'm aching
Know
just what I have to do
If I can't have you when I'm wakin'
I'll go to sleep
and dream I'm with you
Oh take me take me take me
To the dreamer's ball
I'll
be right on time and I'll dress so fine
You're gonna love me when you see me
I
won't have to worry
Take me take me
Promise not to wake me 'till it's morning
It's
all been true
What you say about that hey honey?
You gonna take me to
that dreamer's ball?
I'd like that
Right on down forty-second street
Way
down down town dreamer's town
Oh take me take me take me
I'm your plaything
now
You make my life worthwhile with the slightest smile
Or destroy me with
a barely perceptible whisper
Gently take me remember I'll be dreamin' of my
baby
At the dreamer's ball
Take me hold me
Remember what you told
me
You'd meet me at the dreamer's ball
I'll meet you at the dreamer's ball

11. Leaving Home Ain't Easy (May)
I take a step
outside
And I breath the air
And I slam the door
And I'm on my way
I
won't lay no blame
I won't call you names
'Cause I've made my break
And
I won't look back
I've turned my back
On those endless games
I'm all
through with ties
I'm all tired of tears
I'm a happy man
Don't it look
that way
Shakin' dust from my shoes
There's a road ahead
And there's
no way back home (no way back home)
Oh but I have to say
Leavin' home
ain't easy
Oh I never thought it would be easy
Leavin' on your own
Oh
is the main thing calling me back
Leavin' home ain't easy
On the one you're
leavin' home
Stay my love my love please stay
Stay my love what's wrong
my love?
What's right my love?
Oh leavin' home ain't easy
I thought how
could I think of leavin'
Leavin' on your own
Still tryin' to persuade me
that
Leavin' home ain't necessarily the only way
Leavin' home ain't easy
But
may be the only way

More Of That Jazz (Taylor)

A thousand times before
Just more more

Just more more
More of that jazz
