Feel free to have a natter along the way, artist is optional although helpful if a little obscure all I ask is you play nice Xx

[Patsy33]

I got a black magic woman

I got a black magic woman

Yes, I got a black magic woman

Got me so blind I can't see

But she's a black magic woman

And she's tryin' to make a devil out of me

Don't turn your back on me, baby

Don't turn your back on me, baby

Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby

You're messin' around with your tricks

Don't turn your back on me, baby

'Cause you might just break up my magic stick

You got your spell on me, baby

You got your spell on me, baby

Yes, you got your spell on me, baby

You're turning my heart into stone

Fleetwood Mac

Get, get, that daddup

Back chat, back chat
You burn all my energy
Back chat, back chat
Criticizing all you see
Back chat, back chat
Analysing what I say
Back chat, back chat
And you always get your way

Oh, yeah, see what you've done to me

[Patsy33]

I have spent a lifetime

Waiting for the chance

Save you my confession

Save me your last dance

 

The same old superstition

Haunt us now and then

I'm begging for ignition

To start it all again

 

We'll burn away

Burn away, burn away my pride

 

We'll burn away

Burn away, burn away my pride

Foo Fighters

[Canary42]

But don't forget who's takin' you home
And in whose arms you're gonna be
So darling, save the last dance for me

 

The Drifters

[Hazlinny]

Don't you wanna party, don't you wanna party
Staying out all night feeling like we're young
Acting like tomorrow will never come
Counting every moment 'til the weekend comes
I just wanna dance, I just wanna dance, dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance, dance

Loving Caliber

[maggiebee]

Callin' out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street

They're dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York City (dancing in the street)
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere

There'll be swingin' and swayin' and records playing
Dancing in the street

Martha and the Vandellas

[mushroom25]

Come on everybody, take a trip with me
Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans
The honeysuckle blooming on the honeysuckle vine
Love is blooming there all the time
Every Southern Belle is a Mississippi queen
Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans

I said hey-ay-ay-yeah
Hey-ay-hey-yeah
Said look out child, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said look out child, hey, yeah, yeah

Come on, take a stroll down to Basin Street
And listen to the music of the Dixieland beat
Magnolia blossoms fill the air
If you wait, there's a heaven and you ain't been there
Rich moss hangin' from a big old tree
Down the Mississippi, down to New Orleans....

Guida/Royster, performed by Gary US Bonds, and covered by various, including Harley Quinne, Neil Sedaka and Anthony Armstrong-Jones (no not Lord Snowdon, the US country singer)

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Lonnie Donnegan

[mushroom25]

Where you can hear a country song from far
And someone play the honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
The people join the song and the wind takes it away

Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they'd like to be
How many times before the song was ending
Love and understanding everywhere around

Mississippi
I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi
You'll be on my mind
Every time I hear this song
Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time

Theunissen, performed by Pussycat 

[maggiebee]

Ol' man river
That ol' man river
he must know something
But he don't say nothing

Cause he just keeps rolling
He keeps rolling along
He don't plant tators
He don't plant cotton
Them that plants 'em is soon forgotten
But ol' man river
Just keeps rolling along

Paul Robeson

[mushroom25]

They arrived at an inconvenient time
I was hiding in a room in my mind
They made me look at myself, I saw it well
I'd shut the people out of my life

So now I take the opportunities
Wonderful teachers ready to teach me
I must work on my mind, for now I realise
Every one of us has a heaven inside

Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot
Them heavy people help me
Them heavy people hit me in a soft spot

Rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball to me (Rolling)
Rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball (Rolling), rolling the ball to me (Rolling)......

Kate Bush

[maggiebee]

Down at an English fair, one evening I was there
When I heard a showman shouting underneath the flair

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
There they are, all standing in a row
Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head
Give them a twist a flick of the wrist
That's what the showman said

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Every ball you throw will make me rich
There stands my wife, the idol of me life
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch

Roll a bowl, a ball, a penny, a pitch
Roll a bowl, a ball, a penny, a pitch
Roll a bowl, a ball, roll a bowl, a ball
Singing roll a bowl a ball a penny a pitch

I got twenty acres
An' you got fortythree
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An' I'll give you the key

She made I laugh ha ha

The Wurzels

[mushroom25]

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller-skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you've got something I need

Well, I've got a brand-new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand-new key
I think that we should get together
And try them on to see
I've been looking around a while
You've got something for me
Oh, I've got a brand-new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand-new key

Melanie Safka

[Hazlinny]

I don't wanna break down the door
I don't wanna beg anymore
You gave me the key to your heart
So why'd you have to change the locks?
Change the locks
Change the locks
