WHY WORRY NOW
Baby, I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad, things they do and things they say
But baby, I’ll wipe away those bitter tears
I’ll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So, why worry now, why worry now
Baby, when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
And all that isn’t hard to say
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So, why worry now, why worry now
But baby, just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So, why worry now, why worry now
THE UNEXPURGATED WILD COLONIAL BOY
There was a wild colonial boy Bruce Clansky was his name
He was born and raised in Wooloomooloo A place of no great fame
Where men are men and girls are few and sheep will oft times do
And don’t forget your machine gun if you go to Wooloomooloo
Now Bruce grew up when times were hard and wandered near and far
He robbed the rich to help the poor and bought a brand new car
A T.V. and a stereo and beer and fags galore
In fact there wasn’t that much left to waste upon the poor
One morning in the wild outback as Bruce he rode along
An emu raped a parakeet down by a billabong
A wombat waltzed a dingo dozed a jumbuck jumped for joy
It’s like a flamin’ menagerie said the wild colonial boy
He took a trip to Adelaide to find himself a whore
He stacked the furniture round the room and up against the door
The Sheila asked what was his game he answered on the spot
If it’s anything like a kangaroo we’ll need all the space we’ve got
He went to his mates wedding and wished he’d stayed at home instead
The beer ran out too soon and someone took the bride to bed
But it ended well more beer turned up and to everyone’s surprise
The bloke who took the bride to bed came to apologise
He met a band of shearers on the road to Bungaree
They took him to their bivouac and had a rare old spree
Now what they did I cannot say I’d rather not be blunt
But that is why Australians wear their trousers back to front
.
.
.
God bless Australia and all those who sail in her
God bless her jumbucks and billabongs too
For our country’s pure, our country’s white
We’ve locked the Abos out of sight
And if you like tasteless fizzy beer
We’ll waltz along with you
WILD ROVER
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I've spent all my money on whisky and beer
But now I'm returned with gold in great store
And it's never I'll play the wild rover no more
And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I went into an ale house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit she answered me nay
Saying custom like yours I can get any day
And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
So I pulled from my pockets sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said we've got brandy and wine of the best
And the words that I spoke they were only in jest
And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done
And ask them to forgive their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me as oft times before
It's never I'll play the wild rover no more
And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more

Tonight you're mine completely
You give your love so sweetly

Will you still love me tomorrow
Is this a lasting treasure
Or just a moment's pleasure
Tonight believe the of your sighs
Will you still love me tomorrow
Tonight with words unspoken
You say that I'm the only one
But will my heart be broken
When the night meets the morning sun
I'd like to know that your love
Is love that I can be sure of
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
So tell me now and I won't ask again
Will you still love me tomorrow
THE WIND CRIES MARY
Well after all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind it cries Mary
The traffic lights they turn on blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on our bed
The tiny island sags down stream
Cause the light that lived is dead
And the wind screams Mary
Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
And with it's crutch it's old age and it's wisdom
It whispers no this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary
WINGS OF A DOVE
Take time for your pleasure and laugh with love
Take the hand of another and sing for the wings of a dove
Woh oh woh oh for the wings of a dove

Halleluia Halleluia
Look up at the rooftops when you’re walking round
Don’t think for a moment of looking down
Have a look at the top where he walks around
Tune to the ego and you’ll hear the sound
Woh oh woh oh for the wings of a dove

Woh oh woh oh for the wings of a dove

WISHING WELL
Take off your hat kick off your shoes
I know you ain't going anywhere
Run round the town singing your blues
I know you ain't going anywhere
You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
Throw down your gun you might shoot yourself
Or is that what you're trying to do
Put up a fight you believe to be right
And someday the sun will shine through
You've always got something to hide
Something you just can't tell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
You've always been a good friend of mine
But you're always saying farewell
And the only time that you're satisfied
Is with your feet in the wishing well
WITCHY WOMAN
Raven hair and ruby lips
Sparks fly from her finger tips
Echoed voices in the night
Restless spirits on an endless flight
Woo hoo witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She’s got the moon in her eyes
She held me spell bound in the night
Dancing shadows and firelight
Crazy laughter in another room
And she drove herself to madness with a silver spoon
Ah ah
I know you want to love her
But let me tell you brother
She’s been sleeping in the devil’s bed
There’s some rumours going round
Someone’s underground
She can rock you in the night
Until your skin turns red
Woo hoo witchy woman
See how high she flies
Woo hoo witchy woman
She’s got the moon in her eyes
WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS
What would you do if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, I gonna try with a little help from my friends
What do I do when my love is away
Does it worry you to be alone

Are you sad because you're on your own
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, I gonna try with a little help from my friends
Do you need anybody
I need somebody to love
Could it be anybody
I want somebody to love
Would you believe in a love at first sight
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
What do you see when you turn out the light
I can't tell you, but I know it's mine
No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, I gonna try with a little help from my friends

WONDERFUL TONIGHT
It's late in the evening,
She’s wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blond hair.
And then she asks me "Do I look all right ?"
And I say "yes, you look wonderful tonight !"
We go to a party.
Everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady,
Walking around with me.
And then she asks me “Do you feel all right ?"
And I say "yes, I feel wonderful tonight !"
I feel wonderful, because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realise
How much I love you.
It's time to go home now,
And I've got an aching head.
So I give her the car-keys,
And she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her As I turn out the light,
I say "my darling, you are wonderful tonight !"
I say "my darling, you are wonderful tonight !"
WONDERFUL WORLD BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE
Wonderful world beautiful people
You and your girl pleased to be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret
That nobody can be free

Wonderful world beautiful people
You and your girl pleased to be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret
That nobody can be free
Man and woman girl and boy let us try to give a helping hand

This is our world if you see everybody wants to live and be free
Instead of fussing and fighting cheating by fighting
Scandalising and hating yeah people now
Wonderful world beautiful people
You and your girl pleased to be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret
That nobody can be free
Wonderful world beautiful people
You and your girl pleased to be pretty
But underneath this there is a secret

WORLD WITHOUT LOVE
Please lock me away and don’t allow the day
Here inside where I hide with my loneliness
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
Birds sing out of tune and raindrops hide the moon
I’m OK here I’ll stay with my loneliness
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come I know not when
When she does I’ll know so baby until then
Lock me away and don’t allow the day
Here inside where I hide with my loneliness
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
So I wait and in a while
I will see my true love smile
She may come I know not when
When she does I’ll know so baby until then
Lock me away and don’t allow the day
Here inside where I hide with my loneliness
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
I don’t care what they say
I won’t stay in a world without love
WPC SADIE STICK
They say she ate desatiated need for love
She was breed above the average police woman
WPC Sadie Stick big and fat and round and thick
Eighteen stone with a hairy lip oh brother
McLagen hankered after her with hankering and greed
And frequently when drunk he’d sing behind his handkerchief
WPC Sadie Stick hit me again with your big black stick
I’ll have a word with you when I find my dictionary
The night of the policeman’s ball McLagen met her in the hall
He said ‘ello ‘ello ‘ello ‘ello
She turned and looked him in the face as friendly as a can of mace
And said are you someone that I know
Is it the gay Lethario is it Don Giovanni
Don’t drop your balls into my court you nasty little mannie
WPC Sadie Stick hit me again with your big black stick
I’ll have a word with you when I find my dictionary
When a bust is damned a dam is bust giving Sadie up for lust
McLagen said it’s hard to hold your own
Sadie Sadie I would like to stick my finger in your dike
I’ll drown of love if you leave me here alone
Drunk on an empty head he sought the porcine porcelain
And as he groped his drunken way they heard this sad refrain
WPC Sadie Stick hit me again with your big black stick
I’ll have a word with you when I find my dictionary
Meanwhile back in Notting Hill the moon showed up like an anthrax pill
In the sky so high like everybody
Bomber Diana with delight stuffed her bra with gelignite
She’s a booby trap just for tonight and Noddy
Up in the sweaty ballroom things were swinging
As she cased the place she heard McLagen singing
WPC Sadie Stick hit me again with your big black stick
I’ll have a word with you when I find my dictionary
Behind the hall Diana unseen laid bare her bulging magazine
When suddenly McLagen did appear
He muttered is this where the Gents is then a vision pierced his drunken senses
Big and bold and beautiful and bare
It must be Sadie half undressed if she was French she’d be from Brest
I always did like Bristols best I love you
WPC Sadie Stick hit me again with your big black stick
I’ll have a word with you when I find my dictionary
Diana was not like other girls she had a twin set but no pearls
She shouted kill the pigs and then exploded
McLagen took off through the air wrapped in a red hot brassiere
He said I did not know the girl was loaded
A satellite was set alight high in the London sky
As it tumbled over Notting Hill you could hear it cry
WPC Sadie Stick hit me again with your big black stick
I’ll have a word with you when I find my dictionary
YANGTZE PO
I'll sing you a song of trouble and woe that'll cause you to shake and to shiver
Concerning a Chinese bumboat man who sailed the Yangtze river
He was a heathen of high degree as the doss-house records show
His family name was Win Chang Lu but the sailors just called him Jim Crowie-i-oe-i
Itchicum itchicum ya ya ya sailor man no likee me ya
Come savvy the story of Win Chang Lu too much of the Barbariee-yi-ya
Now Win Chang Lu he fell in love with a girl called Ah Chu Fong
Her eyes they were like pump-a-kine seeds and her slippers were two inches long
But Ah Chu Fong loved a pi-i-rate bold with all her heart and her liver
He was captain of a double decked junk and he sailed on the Yangtze river-i-iver-i
Itchicum itchicum ya ya ya sailor man no likee me ya
Come savvy the story of Win Chang Lu too much of the Barbariee-yi-ya
When Win Chang Lu he heard of this he swore a horrible oath
If I can’t marry Ah Chu Fong then I’ll make sausage meat of them both
So he hoisted up his big red battle flag and put into the Yangtze river
He sailed to the North and the South and the West the pirate for to disciver-i-iver-i
Itchicum itchicum ya ya ya sailor man no likee me ya
Come savvy the story of Win Chang Lu too much of the Barbariee-yi-ya
Now the drums they beat at quarters and the cannons did loudly roar
The red hot dump-i-lings filled the air the scuppers they ran with gore
The pirate he strode the quarter deck with neither a shake nor a shiver
He was shot up the arse by a hard boiled egg which pen-e-itrated his liver-i-iver-i
Itchicum itchicum ya ya ya sailor man no likee me ya
Come savvy the story of Win Chang Lu too much of the Barbariee-yi-ya
The dying pi-i-rate feebly called we’ll give that foe more shot
If I can’t marry Ah Chu Fong then Win Chang Lu shall not
Then a hot pease pud hit the bum-boat’s side which caused this horrible scene
It upset a pot of hot bow-wow soup and exploded the maga-zi-een-i-een-i
Itchicum itchicum ya ya ya sailor man no likee me ya
Come savvy the story of Win Chang Lu too much of the Barbariee-yi-ya
YEAR OF THE CAT
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turned back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a water-colour in the rain
Don’t bother asking for explanations
She’ll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn’t give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market
There’s a hidden door she leads you to
These days she says I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
While she looks at you so coolly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her to find what’s waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well morning comes and you’re still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you’ve thrown away your choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you’re bound to leave her
But for now you’re gonna stay
In the year of the cat
The year of the cat
YESTERDAY
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believed in yesterday
Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believed in yesterday
Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believed in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm
YOU AIN'T SEE NOTHIN YET
I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it coming to me
But I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good loving
So I took what I could get, yeah I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with her big brown eyes and said
You ain't seen nothing yet baby
You just ain't seen nothing yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-b-baby, you just ain't seen nothing yet
And now I'm feeling better
‘Cause I ran up for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me, I was cured
He said that any love is good loving
So I took what I could get, yeah I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with her big brown eyes and said
You ain't seen nothing yet baby
You just ain't seen nothing yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-b-baby, you just ain't seen nothing yet
He said that any love is good loving
So I took what I could get, yeah I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with her big brown eyes and said
You ain't seen nothing yet baby
You just ain't seen nothing yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-b-baby, you just ain't seen nothing yet
I met a devil woman
She took my heart away
She said I had it coming to me
But I wanted it that way
I think that any love is good loving
So I took what I could get, yeah I took what I could get
And then she looked at me with her big brown eyes and said
You ain't seen nothing yet baby
You just ain't seen nothing yet
Here's something that you never gonna forget
B-b-baby, you just ain't seen nothing yet
