"Problem Child"
Terry Melcher
Who wants to grow up, who wants responsibility
Who wants to show up and work until you're ninety-three, oh no not me
Now everybody says you're running wild
Your teacher's calling you a problem child
You're just a kid now but soon you'll be a king of hearts
That girl next door might turn into a work of art
Some people say we'll put the boy on trial
He's guilty 'cause he's just a juvenile
You make us crazy, you make us smile
Someday you'll grow up boy and you'll change your style
First you'll be married with kids after a while
And one of them might want to be a problem child

OOOOOOOOOW
Livin' down in L.A.
Such A Beautiful day

People in motion

Indoors, outdoors, in the sun

And when the moon and stars come out at night
we'll know what to do when we turn out the lights (turn out the lights, out
the lights)
The freeways there are jammed with all kind of folks on their bikes
with asphalt surfers, their all doin' their lefts and their rights
Roller skating, joggin', or a fancy bike

And when the sun is down and the stars are bright
I can hardly wait to get to hold you tight (hold you tight, hold you tight)
OOOOOOOOOOOh
Living down in L.A.
Such a Beautiful Day
Whoa, whoa

Riding the fastlanes, and ballet in leisurely flight

You're sure to get as high as the clouds above
participatin' in this little dance of love (dance of love, dance of love)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
Living down in L.A.
Such a Beautiful Day
The freeways are jammed now

Cause' gone to work or to play

Time 2:40
R Bishop
I never had the key to happiness
I got no bed of roses I confess
But I'm doing alright
I got the sun all day and the moon all night
Chasin' the sky
Waiting for my ship to come in
Chasin' the sky
Knowing that luck is a lady, going just a little bit crazy
I've been chasin' the sky
Floating down the river of my dreams
Keeping my cool whatever that means
With the current so strong
To be sure, I'll keep hanging on
Chasin' the sky
Waiting for my ship to come in
Chasin' the sky
Knowing that luck is a lady, going just a little bit crazy
I've been chasin' the sky
Oh I've been chasin' the sky
I can't deny, it's true that time is wastin'
Why watch it fly, when all I want to do is chase the sky
Knowing that luck is a lady, I've going just a little bit crazy
Bbeen chasin' the sky
Oh I've been chasin' the sky
Going just a little bit crazy
"We Got Love"
Time 6:32
Blondie Chaplin/Ricky Fataar/Mike Love
Are you taken by surprise
When your fellow man decides
That what you’re doin’ isn’t right
Do you listen, know you’re right
Well, you can keep on tellin’ lies
That keep you deaf from people’s cries
Well, there’s somethin’ you should see
We got love to keep us free
We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that’s right
We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that’s right
I made my home out in the city
Just to see what I could find
Though my heart was in my country
I was not there to close my eyes
Said, I’ve been tired of all the same
Must’ve been a Siren in my head
I’ve been ridin’ all my feelin’s
All this runnin’ and my temperature won’t change
Say, you reap just what you sow
The wise men all have told us so
Trust those feelin’s deep within
How you must treat your fellow man
Evolution isn’t strange
Nature itself demands a change
The universe is on our side
We can’t hold back the comin’ tide
We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that’s right
We got love, we got love
We got love and we gonna change our world, that’s right
I made my home out in the city
Just to see what I could find
Though my heart was in my country
I was not there to close my eyes
Said, I’ve been tired of all the same
Must’ve been a Siren in my head
I’ve been ridin’ all my feelin’s
All this runnin’ and my temperature won’t change
"Judy"
Time 2:03
Brian Wilson
Oh Judy, do you hear me call your name
Oh Judy, do you really feel the same
Oh Judy, if I were you I’d take the blame
Judy, it’s gettin’ stronger every day
Oh Judy, I felt it’s you in every way
My Judy, that’s why you’re always here to stay
I love you so
I want you to know
I can’t let you
Give me a chance to show
Judy, I smell love’s perfume in the air
Oh Judy, I know my love will never wear
Then Judy, tell me that you really care
Well Judy, I smell love’s perfume in the air
Oh Judy, I know my love will never wear
Please Judy, tell me that you really care
"The Lords Prayer"
Time 2:34
Music by Albert Hay Malotte
The Lord's prayer
Our Father,
Which art in heaven,
Hallowed be
Thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth
as it is
in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us
our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not
into temptation,
But deliver us
from evil.
For Thine
is the kingdom,
And the power,
And the glory,
forever...
Amen!
Amen!

"Seasons In The Sun"
Rod Mckuen and Jacques Brel
Adieu Emile, my trusted friend,
We’ve known each other since we were 9 or 10.
Together we climbed hills and trees.
Learned of love and ABCs
Skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.
Adieu Emile it’s hard to die,
When all the birds are singing in the sky.
Now that the spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I’ll be there
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun,
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun,
But the hills that we climbed were just seasons out of time.
Adieu Papa please pray for me,
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong,
Too much wine and too much song,
Wondered how I got along,
Adieu Papa it’s hard to die, ( ahhh, ahh, ahh)
When all the birds are singing in the sky. ( ahhh, ahh, ahh)
Now that the spring is in the air, ( ahhh, ahh, ahh)
Little children everywhere, ( ahhh, ahh, ahh)
When you see ‘em I’ll be there. (ba ba)
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun, (ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba)
But the wine and the song, like the seasons have all gone. (ba ba ba, ba
ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
We had joy we had fun we had seasons in the sun, (ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba)
But the wine and the song, like the seasons have all gone. (ba ba ba, ba
ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
Adieu Francoise, my trusted wife,
Without you I’d have had a lonely life.
You cheated lots of times but then,
I forgave you in the end,
Though your lover was my friend.
Adieu Francoise it’s hard to die, ( ahhh, ahh, ahh)
When all the birds are singing in the sky. ( ahhh, ahh, ahh)
Now that the spring is in the air( ahhh, ahh, ahh)
With your lovers everywhere, ( ahhh, ahh, ahh)
Just be careful I’ll be there. (ba, ba)
All our lives we had fun, we had seasons in the sun, (ba ba ba, ba ba
ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)
But the stars we could reach were just starfish on the beach. (ba ba ba,
ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba ba)

"Okie from Muskogee"
Merle Haggard
Performed live by the Beach Boys in the early 70s
We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee
We don't take our trips on LSD
We don't burn our draft cards down on Main Street
' Cause we like livin' right, and bein' free.
CHORUS
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightin's still the biggest thrill of all
I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee,
A place where even squares can have a ball
We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse,
And white lightin's still the biggest thrill of all
In Muskogee, Oklahoma, USA.

Lavender
You'll see her standing in the dim twilight
Before the sunset darkens into night
She waits alone.
Lavender
Beside a lonely road, beneath the tree(s),
her pale hair blowing in an unseen breeze -
She waits alone.
Sweethearts who saw her there
Shed bitter tears;
They know the love she waits
is dead these many years.
For Lavender
Is like a flower that blooms and dies unseen
Reminding us to keep our love
forever green.
And not to wait...
Lavender ....
Lavender ....
Until ...
Until too late.
(Spoken)
Brian(?): Not good
