Johnny B Goode

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well, but he could play the UKULELE like a ringin’ a bell. Go…o… Chorus Go go, Johnny go go Go go Johnny go go Go go Johnny go go Go go Johnny go go go! Johnny B. Goode… He used to put his UKULELE in a gunny sack and go sit beneath a tree by the railroad track. And engineers could see him sitting in the shade Strummin’ to the rhythm that the drivers made People passing by… they would stop and say Oh my but that little country boy can play. Go…o… Chorus His mother told him “someday you will be a man” And you will be the leader of a big ole’ band Many, many people come from miles around to hear your UKULELE till the sun go down Maybe someday your name will be in lights Sayin’ ‘Johnny B. Goode tonight’. Go…o… Chorus x 2

Just Wanna Dance the Night Away

Here comes my happiness again, Right back to where it should have been. 'Cause now she's gone and I am free, And she can't do a thing to me. Chorus I just wanna dance the night away With Senhoritas who can sway. Right now tomorrow's looking bright, Just like the sunny morning light. And if you should see her, please let her know That I'm well - as you can tell. And if she should tell you, that she wants me back, Tell her "No" - I gotta go. Chorus And if you should see her, please let her know That I'm well - as you can tell. And if she should tell you, that she wants me ack, Tell her "No" - I gotta go. Chorus twice

Bad Moon Rising

I see the bad moon rising, I see trouble on the way I see earthquakes and lightning, I see bad times today Don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise

I hear hurricanes blowing, I know the end is coming soon I fear rivers overflowing, I hear the voice of rage and ruin Don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise

Hope you got your things together, Hope you are quite prepared to die Looks like we're in for nasty weather, One eye is taken for an eye Don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise Don't go around tonight, Well it's bound to take your life There's a bad moon on the rise There's a bad moon on the rise There's a bad moon on the rise

Things

Boys sing blue lyrics. Girls sing red lyrics. All sing Black lyrics. Every night I sit here by my window (window) Staring at the lonely avenue (avenue) Watching lovers holding hands and laughing (laughing) And thinking ‘bout the things we used to do Thinking of things, like a walk in the park Things, like a kiss in the dark Things, like a sailboat ride What about the night we cried? Things, like a lovers vow, Things that we don't do now Thinking ‘bout the things we used to do Memories are all I have to cling to (cling to) And heartaches are the friends I'm talking to (talking to) When I'm not thinking of just how much I loved you (loved you) Well I'm thinking ‘bout the things we used to do Thinking of things, like a walk in the park Things, like a kiss in the dark Things, like a sailboat ride What about the night we cried? Things, like a lovers vow, Things that we don't do now Thinking ‘bout the things we used to do I still can hear the jukebox softly playing (playing) And the face I see each day belongs to you (belong to you) Though there's not a single sound and there’s nobody else around Well it's just me thinking ‘bout the things we used to do Thinking of things, like a walk in the park Things, like a kiss in the dark Things, like a sailboat ride What about the night we cried? Things, like a lovers vow, Things that we don't do now Thinking ‘bout the things we used to do And the heartaches are the friends I'm talking to You got me thinking ‘bout the things we used to do, Staring at the lonely avenue

Wanna Be Like You

Now I'm the king of the swingers Oh, the jungle V. I.P. I've reached the top and had to stop and that's what's botherin' me I wanna be a man, man-cub, and stroll right into town And be just like the other men, I'm tired of monkeyin' around! CHORUS

Oh oo- bee-doo, I wanna be like you ooh ooh I wanna walk like you, talk like you too, ooh, ooh You'll see it's true ooh, ooh, an ape like me, ee, ee Can learn to be hu-ooh-ooh-man too, ooh, ooh Now don’t try to kid me man-cub I made a deal with you What I desire is man's red fire to make my dream come true Give me the secret man-cub, clue me what to do Give me the power of man's red flower so I can be like you CHORUS I like your mannerisms, we'll be a set of twins No one will know where man-cub ends and orangutan begins And when I eat bananas, I won't peel them with my feet 'Cause I'll become a man-cub and learn some etti-keet. CHORUS

Elvis Medley

Pinball / Folsom Medley

Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him, in any amusement hall... That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball When I was just a baby my mama told me ‘Son, Always be a good boy; don't ever play with guns. But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry. Ain't got no distractions Can't hear no buzzers and bells, Don't see no lights a-flashin' Plays by sense of smell. Always gets a replay never seen him fall. That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball! I bet there's rich folks eatin’, in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee, and smokin’ big cigars. Well I know I had it comin’, I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin', and that's what tortures me. Even on my favourite table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in and he just does the rest. He's got crazy flipper fingers never seen him fall... That deaf, dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pinball!

Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad Other things just make you swear and curse When you're chewing on life's gristle Don't grumble give a whistle And this'll help things turn out for the best

And always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life If life seems jolly rotten, there's something you've forgotten And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing When you're feeling in the dumps, don't be silly chumps Just purse your lips and whistle, that's the thing

And always look on the bright side of life (come on) Always look on the bright side of life For life is quite absurd and death's the final word You must always face the curtain with a bow Forget about your sin, give the audience a grin Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death Just before you draw your terminal breath Life's a piece of shit when you look at it Life's a laugh and death's a joke it's true You'll see it's all a show Keep 'em laughing as you go Just remember that the last laugh is on you

And always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life (Come on guys, cheer up)

Fading Always look on the bright side of life Always look on the bright side of life

Cool Hand Ukes

We are an informal group of ukulele

players, some beginners, other more

accomplished, who meet fortnightly in The

Dorset Arms in Lewes. We welcome new

members with or without ukuleles.

If you wish to find out more about us look at

our website at www.lewesukes.weebly.com

We do not take ourselves or our songs too

seriously, so do not worry that you won’t be

good enough! We enjoy coming together in

great company and “jamming” our way

through lots of songs. We believe in the

power of the silly little ukulele to bring a

smile.

And we love playing in public…
