(C) - (F) - (G)

(C) No more books and studies
And I can (F) stay out late with my buddies

And don't (F) have to worry 'bout teachers
And (C) I'm so glad that school is out
Well, (G) I'm gonna sing and (C) shout!

CHORUS:
(School is (G) out)
Everybody's gonna have some fun
(School is (C) out)
Everybody's gonna jump and run
(School is (G) out)
Come on,  people, don't you be late
(School is (C) out)
I just got time to take my girl out on a date
(C) School is out at last
And (F) I'm so glad I passed
(C) Everybody come and go with me
We're gonna have a night with (G) Daddy G

Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me
I don't (F) want six extra children
When ain't but two that look like (C) me
Please, have (G) mercy, judge your (F)honor
Alimony is killing (C) me

Please, have mercy, judge your honor
I'm as poor as I can be
Ain't had money in my pockets
Since way back in fifty three
Can't you cut down all my payment ?
Alimony is killing me
Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me
Alimony, alimony, alimony is killing me

Spoken: right now, gonna retire from singing for a moment, let El and Terry and Bobby sing this
next favourite of yours, goes back into the sixties, I guess. Long time ago. At the Dark End of
the Street.

AT THE DARK END OF THE STREET
(Penn/Moman)
(C) - (F) - (G)

(C) At the dark end (G) of the (C) street
That's where we (G) always (C) meet
Hiding in shadows where we (F) don't be (C) long
Living in (F) darkness to (G) hide our (C) wrong
(F) You and (C) me at the (F) dark (G) end of the (C) street
(F) You and (C) me  (F) (G) (C)

I know time is gonna take its toll
We have to pay for the love we stole
It's a sin and we know it's wrong
But our love keeps coming on strong
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
You and me

They're gonna find us, oh, they'll find us
They're gonna find us, they're gonna find us
Oooooh, some day
You and me at the dark end of the street
You and me

And when the daylight hour rolls around
And by chance we're both downtown
If we should meet, just walk on by
Ooooh darling, please don't you cry
Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street
You and me

DO RE MI
(Woody Guthrie)
(G) - (C) - (G7) - (D) - (D7) - (Bm) - (Em)

(G) Lots of folks back east they say
(C) Leaving home most every day
(D7) Beating the hot old dusty way
To the California (G) line
'Cross the desert sands they roll
(C) Getting out of that Old Dust Bowl
(D) Think they're coming to a sugar bowl
But (G) here's (D7) what they (G) find
(D) Police at the port of entry say
You're number fourteen thousand for to (D7) day

Hey, if you ain't got the Do Re (G) Mi, boy
If you ain't got the Do Re (D) Mi
Well, you (D7) better go back to beautiful Texas
Oklahoma, Kansas, Georgia, Tennes- (G) see
California is the garden of Eden
It's a paradise to (G7) live in or (C) see
But be(G)lieve it or (D) not
You won't (Bm) find it so (C) hot
If you (D) ain't got the Do Re (G) Mi

You want to buy a home or a farm
That can't do nobody harm
Take your vacation by the mountains or sea
Don't swap your old cow for a car
You better stay right where you are
Better take this little tip from me
Well, I look through the want ads every day
The headlines in the papers always say

VOLVER, VOLVER
(F. Z. Maldonado)
(C) - (F) - (G)

(C) Este amor apasionado
Anda todo alborotado por vol (F) ver
Hoy camino a (G) la locura
Y aunque todo me tortura, sé que (C) rer

Nos dejamos hace tiempo
Pero llegó el momento de perder
Tú tenías mucha razón
Le hago caso al corazón
Y me muero por volver

Y volver, volver, volver
A tus brazos otra vez
Llegaré hasta donde estés
Yo sé perder, yo sé perder
Quiero volver, volver, volver

Muchas gracias, thank you!
Translation:

This impassioned love
goes on, compelling me to return;
I'm on the road to madness
and although everything tortures me,
I know how to love.

We parted ways some time ago
But the moment of loss arrived.
You had every reason;
I heed my heart
And I'm dying to return.

And to return, to return, to return
To your arms again
I will arrive where you are
I know how to lose, I can take it
I want to return, return, return.
 

HOW CAN A POOR MAN STAND SUCH TIMES AND LIVE ?
(Alfred Reed)
(G) - (C) - (G7) - (D) - (D7) - (Am)

(G) I remember a time when every (D) thing was (G) cheap
Now prices nearly puts a man to (D) sleep
(D7) Well, when we (G) get our grocery (G7) bill
We (C) feel like making our (Am) will
Tell me, (G) how can a poor man (D7) stand such times and (G) live ?
Tell me, (G) how can a poor man (D7) stand such times and (G) live ?

Well, the doctor comes around with his face all bright
And he says, "In a little while you'll be all right!"
Well, all he gives is a humbug pill
Dose of dope and a great big bill
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?

Most preachers, well, they preach for gold and not for soul
Well, that's what keeps us poor folks always in a hole
Now, we can hardly get our breath
Taxed and schooled and preached to death
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live ?

SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE
(Charles E. Calhoun)
(F#) - (F#7) - (B) - (C#7) - (E)

Well, (F#) pick me a town in any clime
People like a rockin' time
Stay awake both day and night
And everybody's feeling good and right
Then (F#7) throw me
(B) Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
(C#7) Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my (E) soul (F#)

I want ten Cadillacs and a diamond mill
Ten suits of clothes all dressed to kill
Ten room house and-a some barbecue
And-a fifty chicks none over twenty-two
Then throw me
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

I want a lotta bread and gangs of meat
Oodles of butter and something sweet
Gallons of coffee to wash it down
And bi-carbonated soda by the pound
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul

Well, I want a big jazz band, a lotta dancing girls
A street that's paved with natural pearl
Bring me a wagonload of bonds and stocks
And then open up the doors to Fort Knox
Then throw me
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Smack dab in the middle
Well, let me rock and roll to satisfy my soul
Soul, soul, soul
Smack dab, smack dab, smack dab...
