No Reply

(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: Lennon

This happened once before,
When I came to your door,
No reply.
They said it wasn't you,
But I saw you peep through your window,

I saw the lie, I saw the lie,
I know that you saw me,
as I looked up to your face.

I tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
'cause I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door,

I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.

If I were you'd realise that I
Love you more than any other guy,
And I'll forgive the lies that I
Heard before when you gave me no reply.

I've tried to telephone,
They said you were not home,
That's a lie,
'cause I know where you've been,
I saw you walk in your door,

I nearly died, I nearly died,
'cause you walked hand in hand
With another man in my place.

No reply, no reply.

I'm A Loser

(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: Lennon

I'm a loser
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
there is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

I'm a loser
And I lost someone who's near to me
I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

Baby's In Black

(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: Lennon

Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

I think of her, but she thinks only of him,
And though it's only a whim, she thinks of him.
Oh how long will it take,
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

Oh how long it will take,
Till she sees the mistake she has made?
Dear what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

She thinks of him and so she dresses in black,
And though he'll never come back, she's dressed in black.
Oh dear, what can I do?
Baby's in black and I'm feeling blue,
Tell me, oh what can I do?

Rock And Roll Music

(Berry) Lead vocal: Lennon

Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I've got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too darn fast
And lose the beauty of the melody
Until they sound just like a symphony

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I took my loved one over 'cross the tracks
So she can hear my man awail a sax
I must admit they have a rockin' band
Man, they were blowin' like a hurrican'

Way down South they had a jubilee
The jokey folks they had a jamboree
They're drinkin' home brew from a water cup
The folks dancin' there are all shook up

And started playin' that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

Don't care to hear 'em play a tango
And In The Mood they take a mambo
It's way to early for a congo
So keep a rockin' that piano

That's why I go for that that rock and roll music
Any old time you use it
It's got a back beat, you can't lose it,
Any old time you use it
It's gotta be rock roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I'll Follow The Sun

(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocal: McCartney

One day you'll look to see I've gone.
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.
Some day you'll know I was the one.
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

And now the time has come
And so my love I must go.
And though I lose a friend,
In the end you will know, oooh.

One day you'll find that I have gone.
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

Yea, tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.
And now the time has come
And so my love I must go.
And though I lose a friend,
In the end you'll know, oooh.

One day you'll find that I have gone.
But tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun.

Mr. Moonlight

(Johnson) Lead vocal: Lennon

Mr. Moonlight
You came to me one summernight
and from your beam you made my dream,
and from the world you sent my girl
and from above you sent us love,
and now she is mine.
I think you're fine
'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight.

Mr. Moonlight, come again please,
here I am on my knees,
begging if you please,
and the night you don't come my way.
I'll pray and pray more each day,
'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight

And the night you don't come my way.
Oh, I'll pray and pray more each day,
'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight,
Mr. Moonlight.

Mr. Moonlight, come again please,
here I am on my knees,
begging if you please,
and the night you don't come my way.
I'll pray and pray more each day,
'cause we love you, Mr. Moonlight

Let me hear you say the words I long to hear,

Every Little Thing

(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocals: Lennon and McCartney

When I'm walking beside her
People tell me I'm lucky.
Yes, I know I'm a lucky guy.
I remember the first time
I was lonely without her.
Can't stop thinking about her now.

Every little thing she does,
She does for me, yeah.
And you know the things she does,
She does for me, oooh.

When I'm with her I'm happy
Just to know that she loves me.
Yes, I know that she loves me now.
There is one thing I'm sure of,
I will love her forever.
For I know love will never die.

Every little thing she does,
She does for me, yeah.

I Don't Want To Spoil The Party

(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocals: Lennon and McCartney

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go,
I would hate my disappointment to show,
there's nothing for me here so I will disappear,
if she turns up while I'm gone please let me know.

I've had a drink or two and I don't care,
there's no fun in what I do if she's not there,
I wonder what went wrong I've waited far too long,
I think I'll take a walk and look for her.

Though tonight she's made me sad,
I still love her,
If I find her I'll be glad,
I still love her.

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go,

What You're Doing

(Lennon/McCartney) Lead vocals: McCartney

Look what you're doing, I'm feeling blue and lonely,
would it be too much to ask you,
what you're doing to me?

You got me running and there's no fun in it,
why should it be so much to ask of you,
what you're doing to me?

I've been waiting here for you,
wond'ring what you're gonna do,
should you need a love that's true,
it's me.

Please stop your lying, you've got me crying, girl,
why should it be so much to ask of you,
what you're doing to me?
