1.1 – Hey Girl

She said sorry but it’s over
You can’t stay with me no more
I’ve got another crazy lover
Pack your things and shut the door

I said hey girl all I need is one more time
I said Suzy baby would you be so kind

She said your nose is running honey
I said sorry bit it’s not
She said I’ve got another lover
Nice to have met you thanks a lot

I said hey girl all I need is one more time
I said Suzy baby would you be so kind

Turn me on I’m feeling down
You’re my only friend around
I want someone like you
You gotta give me one more chance
I’ve got a rocket in my pants
I want someone like you

I said hey girl all I need is one more time
I said Suzy baby would you be so kind

I said hey girl all I need is one more
I said hey girl all I need is one more
I said hey girl all I need is one more

One more Time

1.2 - Bernadette

At school you were my best friend
Till you had a date with my boy-friend
Now I hate you Bernadette
Now listen to me

You said you slept with Eddy
But he was with me how could he
Have spent the night with you
He swears he doesn’t know you

Tell me Bernadette I wonder Bernadette
Please Tell me Bernadette if it’s true

He kept his socks and shirt on
This loose fish Eddy went on
Till I was black and blue
If your man’s always like that
He’s a cracker-jack my Eddy Bernadette
Believe me Bernadette yes it’s true

He’s everything I got
I’m his girl your not
He’s my bo-o-o-oy
He’s likes the guts I’ve got
Your frigid and I’m not
He’s my boy my kinky toy

He’s everything I got
I’m his girl your not
He’s my bo-o-o-oy
He’s likes the guts I’ve got
Your frigid and I’m not
He’s my boy my kinky toy

At school you were my best friend
Till you had a date with my boy-friend
Now I hate you Bernadette
Cos Eddy says he wants you
He’s a cracker-jack my Eddy Bernadette
Believe me Bernadette yes it’s true

He’s a cracker-jack my Eddy Bernadette
I’m Jalous Bernadette
Believe me yes

He’s a cracker-jack my Eddy Bernadette
Believe me Bernadette
I’m Jalous

1.3 - P.S. 78

P.S. P.S. 78 we dit it having French and it was okay
P.S. P.S. 78 je suis tu es nous sommes ete
You were a cool cat then and now I see you again
You better watch out watch out for me
I’m growing up you will see
We were teenagers then we did it again and again
You better watch out watch out for me
I’m growing up you will see

We were writing on the blackboard chocolat
Il fait beau n’est-ce pas
Papa fume une pipe les genoux
Je ne comprend rien de tout

P.S. P.S. 78 we dit it having French and it was okay
P.S. P.S. 78 je suis tu es nous sommes ete
We are American kids rich daddies and big tits
Vive la France les Wallons le camembert est le bonbon
We were teenagers then ooh and now I see you again
You better watch out watch out for me
I’m growing up you will see

We were writing on the blackboard chocolat
Il fait beau n’est-ce pas
Papa fume une pipe les genoux
Je ne comprend rien de tout

Writing on the blackboard un deux trios
Au secours embrasse-moi Tu est jolie
Je suis un homme sur le pont d’Avignon

P.S. P.S. 78 we dit it having French and it was okay

1.4 - Tokyo

In Tokyo I’ve got it made
In Tokyo I’m on the hitparade
In Tokyo I’ve got a million fans
In Tokyo the know who I am

Tokyo I’m on my way
And in my new Toyota
It’s not so far away
Tokyo I’m on my way
And in my new Toyota
It’s not so far away

In Tokyo they don’t have stereo
They’re playing all the tophits
In kimono
In Tokyo geisha’s dream away
When I play rock ‘n’ roll hey hey
When I play rock ‘n’ roll hey hey

Tokyo I’m on my way
And in my new Toyota
It’s not so far away
Tokyo I’m on my way
And in my new Toyota
It’s not so far away

1.5 - I Said No!

She asked me do you like jazz
And I said no
No jazz big band or Dixieland
Can beat the king of rock ‘n’ roll
I told her all about Elvis
She begged me to go on

I say my hair was okay
But something else went wrong
My voice was going when I tried
To sing a catchy Elvis song
She said hey isn’t that Jersey Jack Jersey
And put his record on

I said no don’t put that record on your stereo
I said no you must have got me wrong

She said gee I’m sorry
Would you please go on
I decided to rock her socks off
With a Jerry Lee Lewis song
She said hey isn’t that Ernie Long Tal Ernie
And put his record on

I said no don’t put that record on your stereo
I said no you must have got me wrong

I said no don’t put that record on your stereo
I said no you must have got me wrong

I said no don’t put that record on your stereo
I said no you must have got me wrong

1.6 - Real Teeth Are Out

My manager is very young but very wise
He says protect your teeth with daily exercise
For years he’s eaten food he had to chew
He realized teeth have to work hard too

I scrape my teeth ten times a day
No matter what I eat I can’t prevent decay
My dentist says John there’s no doubt
You got rotten teeth shall I knock ‘m out

I didn’t shout hip hip hurray
When the dentist chipped my teeth away
He said don’t worry son real teeth are out
You better be glad you’re toothless now
No more toothaches no more cavities
Thanks to dental surgery
Just get yourself the final touch
Let me tell you that’s a pair of
Dental castanets

It’s a real wonder
His rotten teeth are out
Upper and lower
Johnny looks different now

It’s a real wonder
His rotten teeth are out
Upper and lower
Johnny looks different now

1.7 - Are You Ready?

Someone with his belly full said
Why don’t you go to school I said
No food I smoke I need school no more oh no
Camera in his hand he said
Do you want a dollar a dollar my friend he said
Say cheese and you’ll smile again oh yeah

Are You Ready
Are You Ready
Are You Ready
Are You Ready

No man we’re hungry guys
Five dollars that’s the price
An empty belly is not very nice oh no
We smoke the herb when things go bad
Life in Trenchtown drives me mad
I wanna go back to South-Africa oh yeah

Are You Ready
Are You Ready
Are You Ready
Are You Ready

Are You Ready
Are You Ready
Are You Ready
Are You Ready
Are You Ready
Are You Ready

1.8 - The Booby-Trap Boogie

The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie

La la la la la la la la la la la
I can make you a beegee I can make you rich
All I need is you boys writing smash hits
Say goodbye to mom and dad
Being noone drives you mad
The Wrangles and the Smarts are pretty famous now

Don’t say nasty things about our social life
The secret word is airplay if you wanna survive
We introduce a bloody dance
A mania for disco fans
Find yourself a victim on the dancing floor

The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie

You will find that disco dancing was a drag
When you try to jump around with a broken neck
Kill you partner by surprise hoy
Poke your fingers in his eyes hoy
Pretty girls will die for you
In you booby-trapper pointed shoes

The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
The booby-trap boogie
La la la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la la

2.2 - One Way Love (From Me To You)

I must have been the greatest fool on earth
Eight days a week I wrote to you
You didn’t call me you gave me no reply
We could have been happy you and I

Baby I’m in love with you don’t tell met that’s it’s true
You met another guy I’m so blue
Yes baby it’s a one way love from me to you

There must have been a new kid in town
I didn’t see you yesterday
I should have known better you’re like a butterfly
I think of you as tears go by

Baby I’m in love with you don’t tell met that’s it’s true
You met another guy I’m so blue
Yes baby it’s a one way love from me to you

Wanna hold you wanna tell you that I love you
I’m a leo baby a hundred good ways to start a letter
But my love hurts baby I’ts a one way
baby I’ts a one way
baby I’ts a one way love

You met another guy I’m so blue
Yes baby it’s a one way love from me to you


2.3 - I'm A Rocket

I’ll go to the moon
On my self-made leaden shoes
If my rocket’s ready soon
I’ll send you a stone
‘Cause I’m in love with you
I wonna be alone

No more dreaming
No more hoping
No more crying
I’m glad it’s all over now
No more dreaming
No more hoping
No more crying
I’m glad it’s all over now

It’s ten to one
I’m gonna see the milky way
See the Russians having fun
No life on mars
No boys or girls at all
On the planets and the stars

No more dreaming
No more hoping
No more crying
I’m glad it’s all over now
No more dreaming
No more hoping
No more crying
I’m glad it’s all over now

I asked her tonight
My rocket’s like a cigarette
Won’t you give me a light
She told me let’s say
I’m gonna give you lots of love
Rocket if you stay

No more dreaming
No more hoping
No more crying
I’m glad it’s all over now
No more dreaming
No more hoping
No more crying
I’m glad it’s all over now

2.4 - Shave

He wanted something new too many sixty-nines
Vibrator off he said shave me shave me
No Chinese brush tonight
Behind the bathroom door he lay down on the floor
Closing his eyes he said shave me shave me
No frizzy hairs no more

He is my sweet gorilla but when he’s bold he’s a gas
I am his lustful lover so I get the form when he says
Shave every hair on by body shave all the hair that I got
And don’t forget to shave me there

I use a lady shave a dozen razor blades
And every time he says shave me shave me
Clean shaven turns him on

He wanted something new too many sixty-nines
Vibrator off he said shave me shave me
No Chinese brush tonight

He is my sweet gorilla but when he’s bold he’s a gas
I am his lustful lover so I get the form when he says
Shave every hair on by body shave all the hair that I got
And don’t forget to shave me there
No don’t forget to shave me there

2.5 - The Pogo Never Stops

I’m his friend Johnny turns me on like no other man
Playing punk that’s the only thing Johnny understands
I’m his girl the only girl he loves in this rotten world
An I know he’s just a silly boy in a dirty shirt

His amplifier oohoo such a lovely sound oohoo
He turns it higher
Suddenly my eardrums seem to give it up
My safety-pins are falling but the pogo never stops
I hear my Johnny calling he takes me in his arms aha

Walking home Johnny takes my hand he’s in love with me
When he shouts 1 2 3 4 he starts kissing me
He’s not allowed to touch my zippers and safety-pins
Honestly Johnny I’m your fan Johnny marry me

His amplifier oohoo such a lovely sound oohoo
He turns it higher
Suddenly my eardrums seem to give it up
My safety-pins are falling but the pogo never stops
I hear my Johnny calling he takes me in his arms aha

His amplifier oohoo such a lovely sound oohoo
He turns it higher
Suddenly my eardrums seem to give it up
My safety-pins are falling but the pogo never stops
I hear my Johnny calling he takes me in his arms aha
Suddenly my eardrums seem to give it up
My safety-pins are falling but the pogo never stops
I hear my Johnny calling he takes me in his arms
The pogo never stops
The pogo never stops
The pogo never stops
The pogo never stops
The pogo never stops

2.6 - Bottom Of The Class

Eight o’clock I rise eat my crispy cornflakes that’s nice
And I jump on the bus to the city-oh
Mum and dad cheerio no I won’t forget to say hello
When I come back form school and the city-oh

Do your homework and your parents love you
Always tell them that you’ll get a pass
‘Cause every schoolday it’s the same old story
You’re the bottom of the class

Shall I watch Columbo I won’t get a pass if I do so
And I stare at the pictures in my history book

Do your homework and your parents love you
Always tell them that you’ll get a pass
‘Cause every schoolday it’s the same old story
You’re the bottom of the class

Do your homework and your parents love you
Always tell them that you’ll get a pass
‘Cause every schoolday it’s the same old story
You’re the bottom of the class

Do your homework and your parents love you
Always tell them that you’ll get a pass
‘Cause every schoolday it’s the same old story
You’re the bottom of the class
