Do The Dirty
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
Hear a whistle blowin' out there somewhere
Beware a wolf a knockin' on the door.
Hear a whistle blowin' out there somewhere
Leave his sheep skin on the floor
[Chorus]
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty now
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty and now
The things that we said went over their heads
Hear a bellow roarin' out there somewhere
Hear a bellow roarin' out there someehere
Take his horns before it's too late
[Chorus]
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty now
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty and now
The things that we said went over their heads
Hear no sound o' nothin' out there nowhere
Beware a snake comin' through the grass
Hear no sound o' nothin' out there nowhere
Cold as ice so let him pass
[Chorus]
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty now
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty and now
The things that we said went over their heads
Beware a wolf a knockin' on the door.
Hear a whistle blowin' out there somewhere
Leave his sheep skin on the floor
[Chorus]
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty now
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty and now
The things that we said went over their heads
Hear a bellow roarin' out there somewhere
Hear a bellow roarin' out there someehere
Take his horns before it's too late
[Chorus]
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty now
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty and now
The things that we said went over their heads
Hear no sound o' nothin' out there nowhere
Beware a snake comin' through the grass
Hear no sound o' nothin' out there nowhere
Cold as ice so let him pass
[Chorus]
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty now
Do the dirty, do the dirty, do the dirty and now
The things that we said went over their heads
Pack Up Your Troubles
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
Somewhere down in the city there's a mad dog madder
Somewhere out in the sticks there's a sad cat sadder
But you ain't gonna let it get on top of you
No you ain't gonna let it get a hold
You gotta get out of that rut before you get old
[Chorus]
So pack up your troubles and head for the hills
Leave all your worries behind
Pack up your liquor and your cigarettes and your pills
Go catch a fish on the line
Somewhere over the sun there's a bebop hummin'
Somewhere down at the station there's a freedomtrain comin'
Can you hear that chugga-luggin' better get on board
Get out of the wind and the cold
You gotta get out of that rut before you get old
[Chorus Repeat]
Somewhere up in the sky there's a big big dadda,
Sometime you'll have to climb up a dangerous ladder;
But there ain't such a word as impossible,
And there's always the never ending dream,
And things ain't never as bad as they might seem
[Chorus Repeat]
Somewhere on the horizon there's a deep hole waitin'
No one, no one at all is ever gonna get away;
You gotta reach out and touch the impossible,
And never let it get a hold,
You better get out of that rut before you get old.
[Chorus Repeat]
All you're ever ever gonna do will work out fine
Go catch a fish on the line.
Somewhere down in the city there's a mad dog madder
Somewhere out in the sticks there's a sad cat sadder
But you ain't gonna let it get on top of you
No you ain't gonna let it get a hold
You gotta get out of that rut before you get old
[Chorus]
So pack up your troubles and head for the hills
Leave all your worries behind
Pack up your liquor and your cigarettes and your pills
Go catch a fish on the line
Somewhere over the sun there's a bebop hummin'
Somewhere down at the station there's a freedomtrain comin'
Can you hear that chugga-luggin' better get on board
Get out of the wind and the cold
You gotta get out of that rut before you get old
[Chorus Repeat]
Somewhere up in the sky there's a big big dadda,
Sometime you'll have to climb up a dangerous ladder;
But there ain't such a word as impossible,
And there's always the never ending dream,
And things ain't never as bad as they might seem
[Chorus Repeat]
Somewhere on the horizon there's a deep hole waitin'
No one, no one at all is ever gonna get away;
You gotta reach out and touch the impossible,
And never let it get a hold,
You better get out of that rut before you get old.
[Chorus Repeat]
All you're ever ever gonna do will work out fine
Go catch a fish on the line.

Did Your Mama Ever Tell Ya
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
Are you sitting comfortably?
Good! Then we'll begin... [Spoken]
There was a crooked man
And he walked a crooked mile
He had a crooked stick
And oh boy how it cramped his style
Well did yer mamma ever tell ya
Them kookie little nurs'ry rhymes
Jack and Jill went up the hill
Supposed to get some water
They stayed up there a long time
Doing what they shouldn't ought-a
[Chorus]
Did yer mamma ever tell ya
Them funky little nurs'ry rhymes?
And when you got a little older
Did you learn to read between the lines
What did yer mamma ever tell ya
'Bout the A's and B's and C's
Did she ever tell ya
'Bout the birds and the bees?
Say, mamma ever tell ya
You were brought by the stork
And how you could run before you could walk?
Mary had a little lamb, his feet were black as coal
He even followed her to bed,
The naughty little soul
Did yer mamma ever tell ya
Them kookie little nurs'ry rhymes
Little Jackie Horner sitting quiet in his corner
How'd he get that name
Doing what he shouldn't ought-a
[Chorus Repeat]
[Solo]
How about that oldie lady who was living in a shoe
She had so many children
She knew how and what to do -oh
[Chorus Repeat]
How you could run, how you could run,
How you could run before you could walk yeah!
Are you sitting comfortably?
Good! Then we'll begin... [Spoken]
There was a crooked man
And he walked a crooked mile
He had a crooked stick
And oh boy how it cramped his style
Well did yer mamma ever tell ya

They stayed up there a long time
Doing what they shouldn't ought-a

Scratch My Back
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
How long can you go
Oh can you go a dozen times?
How long can you smile
Oh can you smile a dozen smiles?
'Cos ev'ry way holds a something that's nice
Try it once and then you'll try it twice

I'm A Talker
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
Throw another log on the fire
Fill another glass with desire
Thank the Lord, if you're bored
I've run out of stories to tell
Time for bed - how's your head?
I must say you look very well.
[Chorus]
'Cos I'm a talker, I'm a teller, I'm an army,
I'm a one, I'm a speaker, I'm a spoker,
And my star sign is a two sided Sun - now I'm one.
Throw another smoke around the room
I think I'm gonna pass pretty soon
Thank the Lord, that we scored:
I feel like I've known you so long.
One last drop then we'll stop,
I'm happy that you came along.
[Chorus Repeat]
A little bit of music ev'ry day
Is bound to take your blues all away
Thank the Lord, if you're bored
I feel like I've known you for years
One last drop then we'll stop
Here's to your health - I'll say cheers!
[Chorus Repeat]
Throw another log on the fire
Fill another glass with desire
Thank the Lord, if you're bored
I've run out of stories to tell
Time for bed - how's your head?
I must say you look very well.

'Cos I'm a talker, I'm a teller, I'm an army,
I'm a one, I'm a speaker, I'm a spoker,

All The World Is A Stage
(Noddy Holder & Jimmy Lea)
You are the eyes of the reader
I am the hand of the writer
Together we can fill up a page
You are the ears of the listener
I am the voice of the picture
Together we can act out the age.
[Chorus]
All the world is a stage, all the people are players,
Turn on the spotlight it's yours.
All the world is a stage, all the people are players,
Ring up the curtain, Applause, one thing's for certain, it's yours!
You are the sense of occasion
Mine is a standing ovation
Your pleasure is only at your command
You are to set the example
I am the one to portray it
To measure the storm that follows the calm.
[Chorus Repeat]
You are the eyes of the reader
I am the hand of the writer
Together we can fill a page
You are the brain of the thinker
I am the fave of expression
Together we can act out the age
[Chorus Repeat]
The start and end to every story is the same
But what comes in between you have yourself to blame
It makes no difference at all
Just pick yoursrlf up when you fall
So ring up the curtain - Applause.
