    The Young Ones Lyrics

    .
    Good one Loh. Great that you have the original 'The Young Ones' lyrics.

    But somehow I've found a few of the lines are wrong. :):):)

    Six String Orchestra

    .
    Just heard this song;

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWjLPnaxHuI

    Six String Orchestra
    Words and Music by Harry Chapin

    I love it...enjoy. :):):)


    D Em
    The very day I purchased it I christened my guitar

    A D
    As my monophonic symphony six string orchestra

    D Em
    In my room I'd practice late, and they'd leave me alone

    A G A
    D
    My mother said, "You're nothin' yet, to make the folks write home."


    F#m Em
    I'd play at all the talent nights, I'd finish, they'd applaud

    Bm F#m E
    A
    Some called in muffled laughter, I just figured they were awed

    D Em
    So I went up for an encore, but they screamed they'd had enough

    A G A D
    or, maybe I just need a group to help me do my stuff


    G D
    And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in

    G D E A
    And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin

    Ab G D
    Bm
    I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time

    Em A G A
    D
    And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine

    G D D7
    And we'd all play together like fine musicians should

    G D E A
    And it would sound like music and the music would sound good

    Ab G D
    Bm
    But in real life I'm stuck with that same old formula

    Em A Em (individual notes:
    - D - A - F# - D - A)
    Me and my monophonic symphony six string

    D
    orchestra


    D Em
    I write love songs for my favorite girl and sing 'em soft and slow

    A D
    But before I get to finish she says she has to go

    Em
    She's nice and say, "Excuse me, I've got to find a bar

    A G A D
    I think I need refreshment 'fore I hear you play guitar."

    F#m Em
    I sent a demo tape I made to the record companies

    Bm F#m E A
    Two came back address unknown, one came back C.O.D.

    D Em
    Of course I got form letters all sayin' pleasant things

    A G A
    D
    Like suggesting I should find a trade where I would not have to sing


    G D
    And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in

    G D E A
    And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin

    Ab G D
    Bm
    I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time

    Em A G A
    D
    And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine

    G D D7
    And we'd all play together like fine musicians should

    G D E A
    And it would sound like music and the music would sound good

    Ab G D
    Bm
    But in real life I'm stuck with that same old formula

    Em A Em (individual notes:
    - D - A - F# - D - A)
    Me and my monophonic symphony six string

    D
    orchestra


    D Em
    I've been takin' guitar lessons but my teacher just took leave

    A D
    It was something about a breakdown or needing a reprieve

    Em
    I know I've found my future so I will persevere

    A G A D
    And hold on to my dream of makin' music to their ears


    G D
    And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in

    G D E A
    And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin

    Ab G D
    Bm
    I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time

    Em A G A
    D

    Just heard this song on the radio - Walking the Dog

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6AZNywvF-s

    It makes get up to sing and dance. :D:D:D

    Lyrics

    Baby's back
    Dressed in black
    Silver buttons all down her back
    High low, tippy toe
    She broke the needle and she can sew

    Walking the dog
    just a walking the dog
    If you don't know how to do it
    I show you how to walk the dog

    C'mon now c'mon

    I asked her mother for fifteen cents
    I see the elephant jump the fence
    He jumped so high, touched the sky
    Never got back 'til the fourth of July

    Walking the dog
    I'm just a walking the dog
    If you don't know how to do it
    I'll show you how to walk the dog

    C'mon c'mon now

    Mary Mary, quite contrary
    How does your garden grow
    You got silver bells and cockle shells
    And pretty maids all in a row

    Walking the dog
    I'm just a walking the dog
    If you don't know how to do it
    I'll show you how to walk the dog

    C'mon now c'mon

    Yeah just a walking
    Uh just a walking
    Uh just a walking
    Now, if you don't know how to do it
    I'll show you how to walk the dog
    C'mon now c'mon
    If you don't know how to do it
    I'll show you how to walk the dog
    C'mon now
    If you don't know how to do it
    I'll show you how to walk the dog

    Donald, where's your trousers?

    .
    Good One. Let's provide the lyrics for all to sing. :D:D:D

    Words and Music - Traditional
    ("Brakes" are Scottish name for trousers or pants. And of course, this song is a humorous commentary on the kilts that the Scottish wear. For those who've heard the traditional version, we decided to change it to the Americanized "Trousers" instead of "Troosers" for better clarity for an American audience.)

    I just down from the Isle of Skye
    I'm no very big but I'm awful shy
    All the lassies shout as I walk by,
    "Donald, Where's Your Trousers?"

    Let the wind blow high and the wind blow low
    Through the streets in my kilt I go
    All the lassies cry, "Hello!
    Donald, where's your trousers?"

    I went to a fancy ball
    It was slippery in the hall
    I was afeared that I may fall
    Because I nay had on trousers

    I went down to London town
    To have a little fun in the underground
    All the Ladies turned their heads around, saying,
    "Donald, where's your trousers?"

    The lassies love me every one
    But they must catch me if they can
    You canna put the breeks on a highland man, saying,
    "Donald, where's your trousers?"


    KEY Dm
    verse/chorus:

    Am
    G
    Am
    G
    Am-G-Am-G-Am-Am
