RAINDROPS KEEP FALLING ON MY HEAD
B Bacharach/H David
(2:30)

Raindrops keep falling on my head,
I'm just like a guy whose feet are too big for his bed
Nothin' seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

So I just did me some talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling

But there's one thi-i-ing I know
The blues they send to meet me won't defeat me
It won't be long till happiness steps up to gree-ee-eet me

'Cause raindrops keep falling on my head
Hahh, but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free-ee-ee-ee-ee
Nothings worrying me-ee-ee

Raindrops keep falling on my head
Hahh, but that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Cryin's not for me
'Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I'm free-ee-ee-ee-ee-ee
Nothin's worrying me-ee-ee

ROCK ME BABY
B.B. King
(3:17)

You may call me a rollin' stone,
I'm a free born man and I stand alone
I come a-lookin' for a little satisfaction
I don't drive no Cadillac, What I've got's hangin' on my back
I do believe in a physical attraction
I can warm your coldest nights, I'll make everything alright

Ooooh rock me baby, make me feel that beat
I said ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh rock me baby right down to my feet
I said ah-ah-ah-ah rock me baby, hold me oh so tight
I said woooh rock me baby, rock me through the night
Hey you better hold me while you can
Or you're gonna lose your midnight man
Rock me, rock-n-roll me, yeah

I was twelve when I left home, Ever since I've been on my own
I come a lookin' for a little recreation
Guess I'll never settle down, It's always been just-a one more town
While I've looked from coast to coast across the nation
I can't promise I'll be true, But I'll see what I can do

Ooooh rock me baby, let me feel that beat
I said ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh rock me baby right down to my feet
I said ah-ah-ah-ah rock me baby, hold me oh so tight
I said wooh-ooh-ooh-ooh rock me baby, rock me through the night
Hey you better hold me while you can
Or you're gonna lose your midnight man
Rock me, rock-n-roll me baby

Come on and rock me, come here and shock me
Get down woman, Mmmm, come on and squeeze me
Oooh you sure do please me, alright woman
Oh rock me, rock me, hold me, right the beat
I said ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh baby right down to my feet
I said ro-o-o-o-rock me baby, hold me oh so tight
I said wooh-ooh-ooh-ooh rock me baby, rock me through the night
Hey you better hold me while you can
Or you're gonna lose your midnight man
Rock me, rock'n'roll me woman

Hey! Rock me, rock me, hold me oh so tight
Rock me, rock me, hold me right through the night
I said rock'n'roll me woman, yeah, wow, rock me woman

ACAPULCO SUN
Teddy Randazzo, Victoria Pike
(2:36)

La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah, We're headin' for the road
Followin' the sun to Mexico-o-o, La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah
Got to leave this New York co-o-old
Check out the scene for fu-u-un
Look for Acapulco sun

Everybody tells me the sun is shinin' there
Lot's of pretty people everywhere-y-ere-ah-ah
We don't need much money, enough to pay the fare
For my guitar and my woma-an, livi'n without a care

Singin' -
La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah, We're headin' for the road
Followin' the sun to Mexico-o-o, La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah
Got to leave this New York co-old
Check out the scene for fu-u-un
Look for Acapulco sun

Mmm, women in the market, baskets on their hea-ea-eads
Everything you need, I feel alri-i-ight
Ah the pretty siniorita's strollin' in the square
Ari archer's playin' singin' without a care

Singin' -
La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah, We're headin' for the road
Checkin' out the sun in Mexico-o-o, woh-woh-woh
La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah
Got to leave this New York co-o-old
Check out the scene for fu-u-un
Look for Acapulco sun

Singin', sing it
La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah, We're headed for the road
Followin' the sun to Mexico, ahh-woh-woh-woh
La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah
Got to leave this New York co-old
Check out the scene for fu-u-un
Look for Acapulco sun

La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah, We're headin' for the road
Followin' the sun to Mexico, everybody, La-la-lah, la-la-la-la-lah
Got to leave this New York co-old
Check out the scene for fu-u-un

DON'T YOU KNOW IT'S MAGIC
B. Cadd
(4:00)

See her at the market place
Where she comes from nobody knows
Now that you ask me
I guess I like the way she wears her clothes
The way she smiles at him
His heart just swells, it grows and grows
Ya think 'Im tellin' you fairytales, I suppo-ose, yeah

Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic
Look in her eyes, they're a little bit hazy
Paradise comin' to a sweet a sweet little lady
Don't you know it's magic, baby, oh baby, it's magic
Magic carpet ride for a woman in lo-o-ove

Take a gun and shoot your friend
As long as you take your time
When you're only six years old
You own the world, you got things to burn
If you wanna be an indian chief
Or a sherriff, respect, you've gotta earn
A fairytale you've gotta learn

Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic
You see a little boy standin' there
A ball in his hand and a feather in his hair
Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic
Magic carpet ride for a little boys drea-ea-eams

When you're dealin' with your brother, man to man
And you need a helpi'n hand
Yeah, baby, all you've gotta do
Is take a positive view
Ah you know you can
Believe you can baby

Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic
You take the hand of your brother and do what's best
You got a whole lot of love, a lotta happiness
Don't you know it's magic, ah baby, it's magic
Magic carpet ride for you and me

Oh-oo-oo-oh, don't you know it's magic
Said baby i'ts magic
Magic carpet ride for you and me
Oh-oo-oo-oh, don't you know it's magic
Baby, ah baby, it's magic
Magic carpet ride for you and me...

SADIE
D. White, J. Madara, R. Gilmore
(3:13)

Sadie, the cleaning lady
With trusty scrubbing brush and pail of water
Worked her fingers to the bone, for the life she had at home
Providing at the same time for her daughter

Ahh Sadie, the cleaning lady
Her aching knees not getting any younger
Well her red detergent hands, have for years not held a man's
And time would find her heart expired of hunger

Scrub your floors, do your chores, dear old Sadie
Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady
Can't afford to get bored dear old Sadie
Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady

Ahh Sadie, the cleaning lady
Her female mind would find a way of trapping
Though as gentle as a lamb, Sam the elevator man
So she could spend the night by TV, napping

Ahh Sadie, the cleaning lady
Her aching knees not getting any younger
Well her red detergent hands, have for years not held a man's
And time would find her heart expired of hunger

Ahh, scrub your floors, do your chores, dear old Sadie
Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady
Can't afford to get bored dear old Sadie
Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady

Ahh Sadie, the cleaning lady
Her Sam was what she got, hook, line and sinker
To her sorrow and dismay, she's still working to this day
Her Sam turned out to be a nervous figure

Ahh, scrub your floors, do your chores, dear old Sadie
Looks as though you'll always be a cleaning lady
Ca'nt afford to get bored dear old Sadie
