Every day she takes a morning bath
She wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her
As she's heading for the bedroom chair
It's just another day

Slipping into stockings
Stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
It's just another day

At the office where the papers grow
She takes a break
Drinks another coffee
And she finds it hard to stay awake

It's just another day
Du, du, du, du, du
It's just another day
Du, du, du, du, du
It's just another day

So sad, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell
Till the man of her dreams
Comes to break the spell

Aah, stay, don't stand her up
And he comes and he stays
But he leaves the next day, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad

As she posts another letter
To the sound of five
People gather 'round her
And she finds it hard to stay alive

It's just another day
Du, du, du, du, du
It's just another day
Du, du, du, du, du
It's just another day

So sad, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell
Till the man of her dreams
Comes to break the spell

Aah, stay, don't stand her up
And he comes and he stays
But he leaves the next day, so sad
Sometimes she feels so sad

Every day she takes a morning bath
She wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her
As she's heading for the bedroom chair
It's just another day

Slipping into stockings
Stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pockets of her raincoat

Oh, it's just another day
Du, du, du, du, du
It's just another day
Du, du, du, du, du
It's just another day

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that, I'd like to know
'Cause here I go again

I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

(I love you) I can't explain, the feeling's plain to me, now can't you see?
(I love you) Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me, now can't you see?
What's wrong with that, I need to know
'Cause here I go again

I love you
I love you

Love doesn't come in a minute
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, love isn't silly
Love isn't silly at all

How can I tell you about my loved one?
How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you) How can I tell you about my loved one?
(I love you) How can I tell you about my loved one?

I love you
I love you
I love you (I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see?)
I love you (Ah, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, say can't you see)
I love you (I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see?) (How can I tell you about my loved one?)
I love you (Ah, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, say can't you see) (How can I tell you about my loved one?)
I love you (I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, say can't you see?) (How can I tell you about my loved one?)
I love you (Ah, he gave me more, he gave it all to me, say can't you see) (How can I tell you about my loved one?)

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs
But I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh no
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what's wrong with that?

When you were young
And your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changin' world
In which we're livin'
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

What does it matter to ya
When ya got a job to do
Ya got to do it well
You got to give the other fella hell

You used to say live and let live
(You know you did, you know you did, you know you did)
But if this ever changin' world
In which we're livin'
Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die
Live and let die

Say live and let die
Say live and let die

Live and let
Live and let
Live and let... die...

Ah, you should have seen me with the poker man
I had a honey and I bet a grand
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand

I was talking to an Eskimo
Said he was hoping for a fall of snow
When up popped a sea lion ready to go

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's farm where I want to lay low
The low life, high life, oh, let's go
Take me down to Junior's farm
Take me down, Jimmy

Ah, at the Houses of Parliament
Everybody's talking 'bout the President
We all chip in for a bag of cement

Ollie Hardy should have had more sense
He bought a gee-gee and he jumped the fence
All for the sake of a couple of pence

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's farm where I want to lay low
The low life, high life, oh, let's go
Take me down to Junior's farm

Let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's farm where I want to lay low
The low life, high life, oh, let's go
Take me down to Junior's farm
Everybody tag along

I took my bag into a grocer's store
The price is higher than the time before
Old man asked me why is it more

I said, you should have seen me with the poker man
I had a honey and I bet a grand
Just in the nick of time I looked at his hand

Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's farm where I want to lay low
(Down to Junior's Farm)
The low life, high life, oh, let's go
Take me down to Junior's farm
(Down to Junior's Farm)

Let's go, let's go
Down to Junior's farm where I want to lay low
The low life, high life, oh, let's go
Take me down to Junior's farm
(Down to Junior's Farm)
Everybody tag along
(Down to tag along)
Take me down to Junior's farm

Take me back
Take me back
I wanna go back
Yeah, yeah, yeah

With a little luck, we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
With a little love, we can lay it down
Can't you feel the town exploding?

There is no end to what we can do together (together)
There is no end, there is no end (there is no end)
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
And if he can do it, we can do it, just me and you

And a little luck, we can clear it up
We can bring it in for a landing
With a little luck, we can turn it on
There can be no misunderstanding

There is no end to what we can do together (together)
There is no end, there is no end (there is no end)
The willow turns his back on inclement weather
We can do it, just me and you

With a little push, we could set it off
We can send it rocketing skywards
With a little love, we could shake it up
Don't you feel the comet exploding?

(With a little luck)
(With a little luck)
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
(With a little luck) With a little luck
(With a little luck) We can help it out
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
We can make this whole damn thing work out

(With a little luck) With a little luck
(With a little luck) We can make it down
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Can you feel this town exploding?

(With a little luck) With a little luck, baby
(With a little luck) We can set it off
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Then we'll be rocketing skyward

(With a little luck) With a little luck
(With a little luck) We can shake it up
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Ooh yeah

With a little luck, we can help it out
We can make this whole damn thing work out
(With a little luck) With a little love
(With a little luck) We can lay it down
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Can't you feel the town exploding?

(With a little luck) With a little push
(With a little luck) We could set it off
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
We can send it rocketing skywards

(With a little luck) With a little love
(With a little luck) We could shake it up
(With a little luck, a little luck, a little luck)
Don't you feel the comet exploding? Woah, woah, woah, ooh

Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one nice again
Like you, Mama
You, Mama
You

If I ever get out of here
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get outta here
If we ever get outta here

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
"I hope you're having fun"

Band on the run
Band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run
Band on the run
For the band on the run
Band on the run

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh
Seeing no one else had come
And a bell was ringing in the village square
For the rabbits on the run

Band on the run
Band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run
Band on the run

Yeah, the band on the run
The band on the run
The band on the run
Band on the run

Well, the night was falling as the desert world
Began to settle down
In the town they're searching for us everywhere
But we never will be found

Band on the run
Band on the run
And the county judge who held a grudge
Will search forever more
For the band on the run
For the band on the run
The band on the run, yeah
The band on the run, yeah

We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But there's no one left at home, and I believe I'm gonna rain

We're so sorry, but we haven't heard a thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But if anything should happen, we'll be sure to give a ring

We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day
We're so sorry, Uncle Albert
But the kettle's on the boil, and we're so easily called away

Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky

Admiral Halsey notified me
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea
I had another look and I had a cup of tea
And a butter pie
(Butter pie?)
The butter wouldn't melt, so I put it in the pie

Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky

Live a little, be a gypsy
Get around (Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

Live a little, be a gypsy
Get around (Get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky
Hands across the water, water
Heads across the sky

Well, when i met you at the station
You were standing with a bootleg in your hand.
I took you back to my little place
For a taste of a multicoloured band.
We're gonna get hi hi hi,
The night is young.
She'll be my funky little mama,
Gonna rock it and we've only just begun.

We're gonna get hi hi hi
With the music on.
Won't say bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye
'Til the night is gone.
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it,
Sweet banana, you'll never give up.
We're gettin' hi hi hi in the midday sun.

Well well, take off your face,
Recover from the trip you've been on.
I want to lie on the bed,
Get you ready for my polygon.
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it,
Sweet banana, you've never been done.
Yes, i go like a rabbit, gonna grab it,
Gonna do it 'til the night is done.

We're gonna get hi hi hi with the music on.
Won't say bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye bye-bye
'Til the night is gone.
I'm gonna do it to you, gonna do it,
Sweet banana, you'll never give up.
We're gonna get hi hi hi, we're gonna get hi hi hi,
We're gonna get hi hi hi in the midday sun.

And when i go away
I know my heart can stay with my love , it's understood
It's in the hands of my love , and my love does it good
Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

And when the cupboards bare
I'll still find something there with my love
It's understood , it's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good

Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

Oh I love oh wo......my love
Only my love holds the other key to me
Oh....my love oh...my love
Only my love does it good to me

(Solo)

Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

Don't ever ask me why , i never say goodbye to my love
It's understood , it's everywhere with my love
And my love does it good

Wo-wo-wo-wo-wo-wo , my love does it good

Oh I love oh wo......my love
Only my love does it good to me
Woooooooooooooh

Jet, Jet, Jet
I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told them that you were going to be marrying soon
And Jet, I thought the only lonely place was on the moon
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh, Jet

Was your father as bold as a sergeant major?
Well, how come he told you that you were hardly old enough yet?
And Jet, I thought the major was a lady suffragette
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh

Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, much later

Jet

And Jet, I thought the major was a little lady suffragette
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh

Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah, mater, much later

(What she say, what she say)

Jet
With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky
And Jet, I thought that the major was a little lady suffragette
Jet, ooh, Jet, ooh

And Jet, you know I thought you was a little lady suffragette
Jet, ooh
A little lady
My little lady, yes, ooh

Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre

Far have I travelled and much have I seen
Dark distant mountains with valleys of green
Past painted deserts, the sun sets on fire
As he carries me home to the Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre

Sweep through the heather like deer in the glen
Carry me back to the days I knew then
Nights when we sang like a heavenly choir
Of the life and the times of the Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre

Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the rain
Still take me back where my mem'ries remain
Flickering embers grow higher and high'r
As they carry me back to the Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre, oh mist rolling in from the sea
My desire is always to be here
Oh Mull of Kintyre

Mull of Kintyre...
