L061 | Other cars are bigger than mine.
I’ve got a little car, and it’s very old,
When I drive in the winter
My feet get very cold,
But I think that it’s better than the other rest.
In fact, I think my car is the best,
—————————-
Others cars are bigger than mine,
Other cars are faster than mine,
Other cars go better in the rain.

And others are more comfortable,
But I love my little car just the same.

Will you come with me
To this place I have found?

Will you come there with me?
It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen.

And the valley is below,
The view is much better
Than the streets we see in town,
And we’ll look up at the sky
And watch the sun going down.
——————————–
(Chorus)

L063 | The leaves were falling.
We were walking through the bark.
The sky was getting dark.
And the lights in the streets were shining
Through the rain.
I was looking at the sky,
I was trying not to cry,
I was taking you to the station for your train.
It was six o’clock on a rainy autumn evening,
It was six o’clock at the end of an autumn day.
The leaves were falling,
The rain was falling,
The night was falling,
The leaves were brown.
The rain was silver,
And the sky was gray.
The air was getting cold,
The day was getting old,
It was getting late and everyone was going home.
I was looking in your eyes,
I was saying:”Goodbye”,
You were going away and leaving me alone.
| 13) * |
L064 | The telephone rang again.
I was lying in bed just yesterday,
(Or was it the day before?)
I was trying to get to sleep,
When a man knocked on the door.
The postman was standing there
With a letter in his hand-
He was giving me the letter,
When the telephone rang.
—————————
(Chorus)
What a morning! What a morning!
I wanted to sleep till ten.
I was closing my eyes
When the telephone rang again.
————————————
I answered the telephone,
I was going back to bed,
I was closing my bedroom door,
When someone had to front to said:
Good morning, it’s the milkman,
Do you want anything?
I was saying,”No thank you”,
When the telephone began to ring.
————————————–
(Chorus)
What a morning! What a morning!
I wanted to sleep till ten.
I was closing my eyes
When the telephone rang again.

L065 | It’s much too far.
It’s summer in the city,
And it is too hot to stay,
The streets are much too noisy-
We want to get away:
We’re going to the beach,
But we haven’t got a car,
We don’t want to walk,
Because it’s much too far.
The bus is much too slow,
It’s the slowest of all,
A taxi’s too expensive,
So we’re walking after all,
We’re walking to the beach,
Because we haven’t got a car,
We don’t like walking,
Cos. it’s much too far.
We’ve walked to the beach,
But it’s half past eight,
Now we’re going back home.
We arrived too late,
We didn’t walk fast enough,
And now we’ve arrived,
It’s time to go
Back to the city
It’s time to go.
| 15) * |
L066 | Birds don’t need a license to fly.
You need a ticket
If you want to catch a plane,
You need a ticket
If you want to catch a train,
You need a passport
If you want to travel far,
And you need a license
To drive a car,
Birds in the sky
Don’t need a license to fly,
Birds don’t need anything,
They fly!
Children in the sun
Don’t need a license to run,
Children don’t need anything,
They run!
| 16) * |
L067 | We only stayed a few days.
We won’t forget that holiday –
The worst we’ve ever had –
The hotel was terrible
And the weather was really bad,
We had a little sunshine
And we had a lot of rain,
We only stayed few days
Then came home again.
———————————
We ate in the hotel restaurant
On the night we arrived,
We got a little bread and water
And the waiter never smiled.
He came to the table
And gave us the bill,
And a few minutes later
I started feeling ill
————————————-
We left the hotel the next afternoon
At nearly half past three,
And a few hours later
We arrived at the sea.
We saw a lot of water
And we found a little sand,
There were a few people sitting
But the others had to stand.
| 17) = |
L068 | This is what you must do.
Albert got up the other day,
He was feeling a little ill,
The doctor came to see him
And gave him some pills.
He had to take one every morning
And another one every night,
The doctor said,”You must stay in bed.
And soon you’ll be alright.”
———————————–
“You mustn’t smoke,
You mustn’t drink,
You mustn’t get out of bed,
You must take your medicine every day”,
That’s what the doctor said.
——————————————
Two days later…
Albert wasn’t feeling better,
So the doctor came again,
He sat down on the bed
And he took the pills away.
He said:”Albert you’re not ill.”
This is what you must do.
You mustn’t go to work.
You must rest for a day or two.”
——————————————
“You mustn’t think,
You mustn’t worry.
You mustn’t work so hard,
You must go away for a holiday.”
Albert said:”I’ll send you a card.”
| 18) = |
L069 | You’ll have to sit on the floor.
Our friends have bought a house
And they’ve just moved in,
They said:”Please come to see us,
And stay for the weekend.”
We didn’t know the street.
We had to ask the way,
We didn’t have any money,
So, we had to walk all day.
——————————————–
(Chorus:)
“Hello, it’s nice to see you.
You must come again.
It isn’t very comfortable,
We’ve just moved in.”
——————————————-
They said:”Hello, it’s nice to see you,”
When they opened the door,
“There aren’t any chairs,
So, you’ll have to sit on the floor.
We’ll have to have coffee,
There isn’t any tea.
And we’ll have to drink it black,
There isn’t any cream,
We’ll have to eat some biscuits,
There isn’t any bread,
And you’ll have to sleep on the floor,
We haven’t got a bed.”
(Chorus)
| 19) = |
L070 | Where can I find Mr. Green?
I’m walking down a street,
I’m looking for Number 10.
I was coming from the park
When I lost my way,
I’ve asked a lot of people,
And I’ll have to ask again –
Nobody knows Number 10.
Now I’ve asked once again,
And I’ve found Number 10.
It’s the tallest building
I’ve ever seen.
————————————
“Where can I find Mr. Green?”
“Mr. Green? Seventh floor,
Room Number 24″.
——————————–
I’m walking down a corridor,
I’m looking for Number 24.
I was looking for the lift
When I lost my way.
I’ll have to ask some more,
Yes, I’ll have to ask some more,
Nobody knows Room 24.
——————————-
Now I’ve asked once more,
And I’ve found Room 24,
“Is Mr. Green about?”
“No, he’s out.”
| 20) = |
L071 | No one sees the sky.
Everyone in the city walks alone in the rain,
No-one sees the sky,
And the streets are all the same.
No-one says,” hello”,
And no one knows your name.
————————————-
Everyone buys the papers
But no-one reads the words,
Everyone sees the buildings,
But no-one sees the birds,
The buildings get taller
And no-one asks why,
Everyone looks up,
But no one sees the sky.
——————————-
Everybody runs, and nobody walks,
Everybody shouts, and nobody talks,
Nobody smiles,
And no-one asks why,
Everyone looks up
But no one sees the sky.

L072 | We could do these things before.
When we were younger than today,
We could dance and we could play.
We could sing our songs about the sun,
We could laugh and we could smile,
We could walk a hundred miles,
We could smile at everyone,
When we were young.
—————————–
We could do these things before,
But we can’t do them any more,
We know we could do these things before,
Why can’t we do them any more?
—————————-
When we were younger years ago,
The winter couldn’t make us cold,
We could count the days one by one,
We could work all day and sleep all night,
We could get up with the sun.
When we were young.
| 22) * |
L073 | Everybody used to know her name.
She used to be famous,
We used to see her on TV,
She used to ride in a beautiful car,
With the chauffeur at The wheel.
People used to visit her beautiful house,
They used to travel miles,
Photographers used to follow her,
And she always used to smile.
———————————–
We used to see her picture in the paper,
And everybody used to know her name,
Lots of people used to send her flowers,
But it couldn’t last for ever,
Cos. nothing lasts for ever,
And nothing stays the same.
———————————–
she used to be a queen
of the cinema screen,
we used to see her photograph
on the covers of magazines,
All the porters at the stations
Used to run to take her case,
But now she walks down the street
And no-one knows her face,
————————————
She used to be a queen
Of the cinema screen,
But nothing lasts for ever,
No nothing lasts for ever,
And nothing stays the same.

L074 | If you don’t come with me.
It’s Saturday tomorrow, and the whole day is free,
I won’t be in town, I’ll be by the sea,
It’s Saturday tomorrow, and I’ll be by the sea,
But I won’t be happy if you don’t come with me.
—————————————————–
We’ll start very early, if we wake up in time,
We’ll take an umbrella, if the weather isn’t fine,
We’ll start very early, if we wake up in time,
We’ll get there by eleven, if we leave here at half past nine.
———————————————————
If we can’t go by bus, we’ll go by train,
If there aren’t any trains, we’ll get there just the same,
If there aren’t any trains, we’ll go by plane,
We’ll get there somehow,
Even if we have to walk all day.
| 24) * |
L075 | We’ll do the work tomorrow.
It’s a working day,
But it’s a sunny day,
And on a sunny day,
We just can’t stay,
Where shall we go?
– I know!
—————–
We won’t stay at work.
The summer goes too fast,
I’ll take you to the park.
And will walk across the grass.
We’ll sit and watch the children play,
And we’ll do the work tomorrow,
Or another day.
———————————
We’ll sit on the grass,
And we’ll sleep in the sun,
We’ll walk by the river,
And we’ll smile at everyone,
We’ll pick lots of flowers along the way,
And we’ll do the work tomorrow,
Or another day.
——————————
I’ll sing you songs,
And I’ll play my guitar,
We’ll spend the whole evening,
Looking up at the stars,
We’ll go to sleep and dream about today,
And we’ll do the work tomorrow
Or another day,
Yes, we’ll do the work tomorrow,
Or another day.

L076 | If I go back.
The summer’s almost over,
Time goes so fast,
And I’m thinking of a summer in the past,
I was living in a town
A long way from her,
The summer was beautiful that year.
——————————————————–
(Chorus:)
If I go back,
Will the town still look the same?
If I walk down street,
Will you call out my name?
Will I hear your voice?
Will I see your face again?
———————————–
I used to walk every morning to the
Little town square,
And one sunny morning, you were
Sitting there,
And the sun was shining on your hair.
We were together all that summer
With the sun in our eyes,
The sunlight filled the streets,
And the summer filled the sky.
—————–
(Chorus)
| 26) * |
L077 | I’d like you to listen.
I know a little restaurant,
I found it yesterday,
I’d like to show it to you
If I can remember the way.
Would you like to come to day?
———————————-
(Chorus:)
I’d like you to listen,
I’d like you to sing my song
– I’d love to hear it,
If it’s not too long.
——————————————
It’s just by the river,
I’d like to take you there,
You can sit by the water
And there’s music in the air.
I’d like you to see it,
Would you like to meet me there?
(Chorus:)
That’s all there is.

L078 | It’s been raining all morning.
I woke up this morning.
I made my breakfast hours ago.
I’ve been siting in the kitchen,
And my breakfast has been getting cold.
It’s been raining all morning,
And I’ve been sitting by the telephone.
————————————
(Chorus:)
I haven’t been doing anything at all.]
I’ve been looking at the clock on the kitchen wall.
I’ve been sitting by the window
Since very nearly half past nine.
The rain’s still falling,
It’s been falling for a long, long time.
——————————
(Chorus:)
| 28) * |
L079 | What have you been doing?
I haven’t seen you since we were children,
Since we played in the snow.
We haven’t met since we were children,
Many years ago.
When I was seventeen, I couldn’t stay,
I had to follow the wind,
I packed my bags and I went away,
I’ve been traveling ever since.
What have you been doing?
What have you been living?
How have you been feeling?
Have you been travelling too?
I’ve been travelling the world.
I’ve been meeting lots of girls,
But I’ve been always thinking of you.

L080 | Why not call us today?
Have you been feeling tired at the office?
Have you been getting tired in the middle of the day?
You need a break,
So, why don’t you take a nice long holiday?
———————————————-
(Chorus:)
“Sunshine Tours” will give you sunshine,
“Sunshine Tours” will take you far away,
“Sunshine Tours” will make you happy,
So, why not call us today?
Why not forget the office papers?
Why don’t you leave them and put down your pen?
Go on a “Sunshine Tour”,
And if you’ve been before,
Why not go again?

L081 | So, that no one can take his money away.
He lives in a house on the side of a hill,
He’s got a private doctor to give him his pills,
He’s built a swimming-pool
So that he can swim all day,
He’s got dogs in the garden around the house,
And a lock on the door to keep people out,
He’s got a safe
So, that no one can take his money away.

(Chorus:)
Mr. Millionaire, come out and say “Hello,”
Come out and say “How do you do?”
Mr. Millionaire, come out and say”Hello”,
So that we can say “Hello” to you.

He’s got beautiful carpets to cover the floor,
He’s got a key to lock every door,
He’s got windows
So that he can see the sky,
He never laughs and he never smiles,
He locks over his shoulder all the time,
He needs a guard at the door
So, that he can sleep at night.
(Chorus.)

L082 | My mother told me to leave school.
My mother told me to leave school,
My father told me to stay,
But they both wanted me to find a job,
So, I wrote to The fire brigade.
I wrote a letter to the fire-brigade,
And asked them to give me a job,
They asked me to come for an interview,
The fire-station was hard to find,
I lost my way in the town,
I asked a man to show me the way,
And he asked me to give him a pound,
I finally arrived at one O’clock,
(only one hour late ),
I asked them about The job,
But they told me to go away,
” Go away! Go away! “

L083 | Porter, would you take my bags?
Lady:
Porter, would you take my bags,
And put tem on the train?
I am going to London to see my daughter.
Man:
I’m sorry, madam,
My name is Captain Smart,
I’m a captain in the Navy, not a porter,
Lady:
Oh, captain, Could you give me a hand?
I don’t think there’s a porter in the station.
Could you take them to the platform,
And put them on the train? Or I’ll never reach my destination.
Man:
Madam, it’ll be a pleasure.
Just show me the bags,
The navy always loves to help a lady.
Lady:
There are seven in the taxi,
And five by the door.
Man:
Seven and five? Are there any more?
Lady:
No, seven and five. Yes, twelve, that’s all.
Man:
Porters work harder than the Navy.

L084 | Shall we go?
(Chorus:)
We haven’t had a holiday.
We’ve been working hard in town.
Shall we pack our bags
And leave right now?
Shall we pack our bags
And leave right now?
————————————-
Shall we go to the station,
And buy tickets for the train?
Or shall I phone the airport
And book seats on a plane?
Shall we go and never come home again?
————————————–
(Chorus.)
shall we stay in the mountains
In a house among the trees?
Or shall I go and telephone
A hotel by the sea?
Yes, I’ll ask for the best room if it’s free.
Will you come with me?

L085 | The sky will never grow old.
The child is standing on a hillside,
The day is just beginning,
And the sky’s been turning blue,
The child got up early,
When the moon was still shining,
He said,”Hello” to the sun,
And “goodbye” to the moon.
————————————
(Chorus:)
The sun will always rise in the morning,
The summer will be warm,
The winter will be cold,
The child will grow,
And the sun will come and go,
But the sky will never grow old.
———————————
Everyone’s seen the sunrise in the morning,
Everyone’s counted stars in the sky
One by one,
But no-one sees more clearly
Than a child in the morning
On a hillside, looking up at the sun.
——————————-
(Chorus:)
| 35) * |
L086 | You shouldn’t worry?
If you’re working too hard, you shouldn’t worry,
Everyone works too hard from time to time,
You should try to get away,
You should have a holiday,
And in a day or two, you’ll be fine.
———————————–
If you’re feeling tired, you shouldn’t worry,
Everyone gets tired now and then,
You should think about the sun,
You should smile at everyone,
And then you’ll feel better again.
If you can’t get to sleep, you shouldn’t worry,
You should open your window and look,
And look up at the sky,
You should breathe the air ,
And feel the wind in your hair,
You should do the same thing every night.

L087 | I’d never been in an airplane before.
I visited my brother in September,
I didn’t want to travel by train,
So I bought a ticket at The airport,
And made the journey by plane.
——————————-
(Chorus:)
I’d driven a car
(But I haven’t driven far),
I’d traveled on a train
For a thousand miles or more,
I’d ridden a horse
And a bicycle of course,
But I’d never been in an airplane before.
I was feeling a little nervous in the morning,
While I waited at the airport for the plane,
But the flight was very comfortable –
The sky was blue –
And the sun was shining all the way.
————————————
(Chorus:)

L088 | My boss told me to learn Japanese.

I’m going to Japan in the spring,
I’m having lessons every Friday at half past five,
So that I can speak the language when I arrive.
————————————————-
(Chorus:)
Would you like to come to the classes?
Shall we both go together and learn Japanese?
I think you should come,
We’ll have a lot of fun –
Why don’t you come with me?

I started having lessons in October,
I hadn’t been interested before,
But I’ve been going to the classes every Fridaynight,
So that I can get the pronunciation right.

L089 | When everybody knows who you are,

I don’t want to be famous,
I don’t want to be a star,
You have to answer too many questions,
When everybody knows who you are.

Everybody wants to know how old you are,
Reporters all ask why you never wear a tie,
And they even ask you who drives your car.

Everybody wants to know why your socks are red,
They ask what time you get up in the morning,

What time do you go to bed…?

(wife:)
There’s a policeman waiting in the kitchen,
He’s been waiting for half an hour,
He wants to ask you some questions,
I think you should speak to him.
He wants to know where you were yesterday evening,
He wants to know if you went out at all,
He wants to know if you stayed at home,
Or if I was alone,
Someone stolen a TV from Number 24.

One day in the streets of the city,
The cloud were covering the sky,
We saw an old man with a smile in his face,
———————————————-
We asked him why he was so happy,
And he asked us why we wanted to know,
We asked him to tell us his secret,

L094 | You needn’t be rich…
If you want people to be happy around you,
And if you want to be happy all the time,
You needn’t have a fortune,
You needn’t have a pound.
But you must wear a smile,
And you mustn’t wear a frown.
People will be happy all around you,
And you will be happy too.
You needn’t be rich,
You needn’t be famous,
But you’ve got to smile at people,
If you want them to smile at you.

And it’s Tuesday afternoon,
And I’m waiting for Friday night.
