1. ROCK AND ROLL PREACHER

Spoken as a Preacher
Dearly beloved
Brothers and sisters
We are gathered here tonight
To join together this rock and this roll
In earholing catastrophy
For thine is the power and the glory
For ever and ever
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part

Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
I've seen the light (I've seen the light)
I've seen the light (I've seen the light)
I've seen the light (I've seen the light)
Glory hallelujah honey I'm on fire
Hey hey-hey hey
Hey
Glory hallelujah you're givin' me the bug
(I'm on fire, I'm on fire)
Mister bop-a-lu-la, your boogie is a drug
(I'm on fire, I'm on fire)
My my my you're runnin' with the pack
Gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back
All that ferocity, people come and see it for miles
(I'm on fire, I'm on fire)
High speed velocity, see them rockin' in the aisle
(I'm on fire, I'm on fire)
My, my my you're leading me astray
Every other day, every other day, every other day

[Chorus]
Rock and roll preacher I wanna meet ya
I'm on fire (hallelujah), I'm on fire (hallelujah)
Rock and roll sister I can't resist ya
I'm on fire (hallelujah), I'm on fire (hallelujah)
Twenty one sermons ooh when you start to dance
(I'm on fire, I'm on fire)
I pray to heaven you don't get a second chance
(I'm on fire, I'm on fire)
My my my you're runnin' with the pack
Gotta get back, gotta get back, gotta get back

[Chorus]
Rock and roll preacher I wanna meet ya
I'm on fire (hallelujah), I'm on fire (hallelujah)
Rock and roll sister I can't resist ya
I'm on fire (hallelujah), I'm on fire (hallelujah)
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Lordy lordy (lordy lordy)
Lordy lordy (lordy lordy)
Lordy hallelujah honey I'm on fire

Break

My, my my you're leading me astray
Every other day, every other day, every other day

[Chorus]

Rock and roll preacher I wanna meet ya
I'm on fire (hallelujah), I'm on fire (hallelujah)
Rock and roll sister I can't resist ya
I'm on fire (hallelujah), I'm on fire (hallelujah)

2. LOCK UP YOUR DAUGHTERS

Lock up your daughters
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sometimes you're acting the fool
Sometimes you're breaking the rules
Sometimes you wanna run away
Sometimes you stay out of school
Well it's a dirty old town
And you know it's where we all belong
Tell your mama back home
She was just the same when she was young
I wanna give you some advice
[Chorus]
Lock up your daughters right now
We'll give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time
The time and the place
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sometimes you whip up a storm
Don't get to bed until dawn
Sometimes you get a little high
And wish you'd never been born
Well it's a crazy old world
Everybody's gotta get along
Tell your Mama back home
It was just the same when she was young
I tell you right now
[Chorus]
Lock up your daughters right now
We'll give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time
The time and the place
Oh ho ho ho ho ho
Break
Repeat [Chorus] 2 times
Lock up your daughters right now
We'll give you a smile on your face
Lock up your daughters somehow
This is the time
The time and the place
We'll take them away


3.TILL DEAF DO US PART

Coming over to bend your ear
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Are you hearing it loud and clear
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Keep a rockin' your times are tough
Let me know when you've had enough
Hanging from the ceiling
The balconies are starting to shake
Coming over to slaughter you
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Do you want us to torture you
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Are you feeling the frequency
All the speed and the energy
Riding on their shoulders
The heavy boys are taking the strain
We'll turn it up
If you just specify
Reach for the power
If you want it we'll supply
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Break
Looking forward to tighten out
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Are you feeling the force and clout
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
When you're aching and cracking up
Let me know when you've had enough
Hanging from the ceiling
The balconies are shaking
There's a hurricane a-comin'
And the window panes are starting to break
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part
Till deaf do us part


4. RUBY RED

Ruby, Ruby
Well I got some food
If you're in the mood
And the Montrachet's on ice
Let me satisfy your appetite
With some coq au vin on rice
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh Ruby Red
Better use your ruby head
Oh oh oh Ruby Red
Lying in your ruby bed
Well I got some food
If you're in the mood
Oysters aphrodisiac
And some fine liqueur 100% pure
That'll put you on your back
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh Ruby Red
Better use your ruby head
Oh oh oh Ruby Red
Lying in your ruby bed
Ruby, Ruby
If you start at the top
You can end up at the bottom
If you taste there's no waste
All you do is feed your face
Oh oh oh Ruby Red
I wanna little bit of Ruby
Just a little bit of Ruby
Break
Oh Ruby Red
Making sure you get well fed
[Chorus]
Oh oh oh Ruby Red
Better use your ruby head
Oh oh oh Ruby Red
Lying in your ruby bed
I wanna feel Ruby
I wanna hold Ruby


5. SHE BRINGS OUT THE DEVIL IN ME

Heh yeah, hah hoh …
Oh, you make my fool-heart a-quiver, you bring out the devil (bring out the devil)
Oh, you make me stand an' deliver, you bring out the devil (bring out the devil)

Stop me goin' out on the town every night
Oh, I give her all of the patter, she brings out the devil (brings out the devil)
Oh, when I've had too much to drink, she says it doesn't matter (says it doesn't matter)
Woh ho, she understands the way I am

Woh ho, she brings out the devil in me
Oh, you're not expectin' me to woe her, swear I'm gonna leg it (swear I'm gonna leg it)
Oh, you've got so much to give, be sure that I get it (be sure that I get it)

Woh ho, you're stood where we're headin'
You gotta come, headin' for a shotgun weddin'
Woh ho, she brings out the devil in me, yeah
I said, woh ho, she brings out the devil in me
Woh ho, she brings out the devil in me, ha ha ha ha … ha ha ha ha …


6. A NIGHT TO REMEMBER

Oh, I know, if you're ready for me, my hot rod's ready to burn
An' I know, if you're waitin' for me, my engine's startin' to turn
I've bin livin' on Platform Nine, travellin' thru'

[Chorus]
Look out … tonight … a-will be … a night to remember
Look out … a-tonight … is a-gonna be … a night to remember
Look out, yeah … look out, yeah

I've been savin' it all alone for you

[Chorus]
Look out … tonight … a-will be … a night to remember
Look out … 'cos tonight's … gonna be … a night to remember

(INSTRUMENTAL)


8. IT'S YOUR BODY NOT YOUR MIND

I want your body not your mind
Her education made her top of the class
All the lessons she learned, English Language and Maths
An' she knew when the teacher's makin' a pass
'Cos in Biology she knew all of the Facts
Her schoolgirl uniform stands out in a crowd
An' the way that it fits her should not be allowed
She's workin' hard to get an A grade
She's got it made … yeah, yeh yeh, yeah

[Chorus]
'Cos it's your body not your mind, babe (body not your mind)
No intellectual brain (it's your body not your mind)
Yes it's your body not your mind, babe (body not your mind)
It's gonna drive me insane … drive me insane (drive me insane)

She's takin' everybody's mind off their books
With her hand in the air an' her innocent looks
I try to help her, I put ink in my pen
She keeps turnin' me down, again an' again
She's only sweet sixteen an' never been kissed
I wanna give her, ooh, what she's missed
She's always showin' off her I.Q.
To psych you … yeh, yeh yeh, yeah

[Chorus]
'Cos it's your body not your mind, babe (body not your mind)
No intellectual brain (it's your body not your mind)
Oh, it's your body not your mind, babe (body not your mind)
It's gonna drive me insane … drive me insane (drive me insane)

You can read, you can write
You can tell all the stories you heard, babe
You can read, you can write
You can spell all the four-lettered words, babe
Her schoolgirl uniform stands out in a crowd
The way that it fits her should not be allowed
She's always showin' off her I.Q.
To psych you … yeah, yeh, yeah, yeah
… I'm gonna tell you about it now

[Chorus]
It's your body not your mind, babe (body not your mind)
No intellectual brain (it's your body not your mind)
Yeah, it's your body not your mind, babe (body not your mind)
It's gonna drive me insane (drive me insane)
Well it's your body not your mind, babe (body not your mind)
I want your body not your mind (it's your body not your mind)
I want your body not your mind, babe (body not your mind)
It's gonna drive me insane … drive me insane … drive me insane (drive me insane)
I want your body, body … body, body … body, body … body, body … body, body
… body, body … body, body … body, body … body, body …


9. THAT WAS NO LADY,THAT WAS M' WIFE

Uh huh, Jack the Lad with his three-pieced suit on
Likes to keep his three-piece clean
At the bar with his whistle an' flute on
Chats to broads with his old routine
[Chorus]
They say, who was the lady I saw you with last night … hey hey hey
Oh oh, that was no lady, you're talkin' 'bout my wife … ow ow ow
Harry Rash with his fancy foot work
Showin' off at the local dance
Givin' all the girls the glad eye - ain't their type
He don't stand a chance
[Chorus]
Oh ho, who was the lady I saw you with last night … well oh oh
Oh ho, that was no lady, you're talkin' 'bout my wife … well oh oh
If she finds out, you know she's gonna kill me
I'll be nowhere to be found
She'll throw me out … Will somebody come an' save me
I'll be hidin' underground
Get on … hey hey hey, yeah … oh … oh well ho
[Chorus]
Oh ho, who was the lady I saw you with last night … woh ho ho
Oh ho, that was no lady, you're talkin' 'bout my wife … hey hey hey
Woh ah, that was no lady, you're talkin' 'bout my wife … oh ho ho
That was my wife … well heh heh


10. KNUCKLE SANDWICH NANCY

A bunch of fives hit me in the jaw
Lovers luck pushed me on the floor, oh no
Won't you try a little GBH
And now I'm not just a pretty face, oh no
[Chorus]
(C'mon) Nancy pick me up
(C'mon) Nancy bring me round
(C'mon) A knuckle sandwich knocked me down, down, down
(C'mon) Nancy pick me up
(C'mon) From a left and right
(C'mon) A knuckle sandwich put me out like a light
You don't hit a man with his glasses on
This is what you call having fun, oh no
I ended up with a broken nose
They're never so big when they're on their own, oh no
[Chorus]
(C'mon) Nancy pick me up
(C'mon) Nancy bring me round
(C'mon) A knuckle sandwich knocked me down, down, down
(C'mon) Nancy pick me up
(C'mon) From a left and right
(C'mon) A knuckle sandwich put me out like a light
Let'em fight
Knocked me down, down, down, down, down
Knocked me out
Knock us out
Knock us out
Knock us out
Knock us out
Knock us out
Knock us out
Ooh you're knocking me out
Well you're knocking me out
Yeah
Hurl a fist and get down to a knee
She said "Hey there mate are you looking at me?", oh no
Who are you looking at then she said
All I new was a kick in the head in bed
[Chorus]
(C'mon) Nancy pick me up
(C'mon) Nancy bring me round
(C'mon) A knuckle sandwich knocked me down, down, down
(C'mon) Nancy pick me up
(C'mon) From a left and right
(C'mon) A knuckle sandwich knocked me out like a light
(C'mon) Nancy pick me up
(C'mon) Nancy bring me round
(C'mon) A knuckle sandwich knocked me down, down, down, down, down, down
Knocked me down, down, down, down, down
