Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

She was afraid to come out of the locker
she was as nervous as she could be
she was afraid to come out of the locker
she was afraid that somebody would see

Two three four
tell the people what she wore

It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the locker she wanted to stay

Two three four
stick around we'll tell you more and make it pretty and we'll tell you more

She was afraid to come out in the open
so a blanket around her she wore
she was afraid to come out in the open
and so she sat bundled up on the shore

Two three four
tell the people what she wore

It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the blanket she wanted to stay

Two three four
stick around we'll tell you more

Now shes afraid to come out of the water
and I wonder what she's gonna do
now she's afraid to come out of the water
and the poor little girl's turning blue

Two three four
tell the people what she wore

It was an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
that she wore for the first time today
an Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
so in the water she wanted to stay

From the locker to the blanket
from the blanket to the shore
from the shore to the water
yes there isn't any more

I can't be ar5ed putting up the lyrics but I was in the Dr's surgery today when Where Do You Go To My lovely came on. Maybe forty years ago I may have found it alluring and left bank. Today I thought what a load of pretentious ****y.

Sylvia's mother.

From the days before everyone had their own mobile phone.

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy,
too busy to come to the phone .

Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's trying
to start a new life of her own.
Sylvia's mother says "Sylvia's happy...
So why don't you leave her alone?"

And the operator says
"Forty cents more, for the next three minutes."

Gimme a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone, I'm a-goin' home
My baby, just-a wrote me a letter


Well, I mean where do we begin in deconstructing The Box Tops finest 3 minutes?

'A ticket for an aeroplane'. How quaint! No e-booking with priority seat reservation?

'Aint got time to take a fast train'. Not now that ASLEF are calling the shots!

'I'm a going home'. Yes - but because youre under 35 you still live at home with your parents in Cameron's Britain, so the chances of you doing anything with 'your baby (sic)' whilst under the same roof as your mum and dad, seems pretty remote

'My baby just wrote me a letter' - I mean, sometimes this sh1t requires no explanation, does it?

There's an old Australian stock man, lying, dying
And he gets himself up on one elbow
And he turns to his mates, who are all gathered 'round him
And he says

Watch me wallaby's feed, mate
Watch me wallaby's feed
They're a dangerous breed, mate
So watch me wallaby's feed

All together now
Tie me kangaroo down, sport

They're of no further use, Lou
So let me abos go loose

Mind me platypus duck
Don't let him go running amok, Bill
Just mind me platypus duck

Play your didgeridoo
Uh, like, keep playing while I shoot through, Blue
Play your didgeridoo

Tan me hide when I'm dead, Fred
Tan me hide when I'm dead
So we tanned his hide when he died, Clyde
And that's it hanging on the shed

Sylvia's Mother was based on a true story of one of the band members who wanted to speak to his first love before she got married to somebody else.

This actually is, Sylvia's mother.

I got that a bit wrong, although Leadbelly did record it. In '64 I thought The Animals version was a new song, like many other records.

The oldest known existing recording is by Appalachian artists Clarence "Tom" Ashley and Gwen Foster, who recorded it for Vocalion Records in 1934.[2] Ashley said he had learned it from his grandfather, Enoch Ashley.

C30 C60 C90 Go  - Bow Wow Wow 

Every day I get a brand new show
Off TV, record and radio.
I breeze with the sleaze on my cassette
Cause I got the affirmative
I know you, man

C30 C60 C90, go
C30 C60 C90, go
C-3-0, C-6-0
C30 C60 C90, go
C90, go
3-0 6-0 9-0, go

A bit-bam-boogie and a booga-rooga
My cassette's just like a bazooka
A bligger, a blagger, a bippity-bop
Well I'm going down to the record shop.

And the boss said
"LP, single, picture cover or plain?
I've got all the hits and all the big names
Give the biggest discounts in my store
If you buy three records, I'll give you four"

C30 C60 C90 go
Off the radio I get constant flow
Hit it, pause it, record and play
Turn it, rewind and rub it away.

C30 C60 C90, go
C30 C60 C90, go
C30 C60 C90, go
C-3-0, C-6-0
C30 C60 C90, go
C90, go
3-0 6-0 9-0, go

It used to break my heart when I went in your shop
And you said my records were out of stock
So I don't buy records in your shop
Now I tape them all, cause I'm Top of the Pops.

Now I got a new way to move
It's shiny and black and don't need a groove.
Well, I don't need no album rack
I carry my collection over my back.

C30 C60 C90, go
Off the radio I get constant flow
Hit it, pause it, record and play
Turn it, rewind and rub it away

Policeman stopped me in my tracks
Said "Hey you, you can't tape that!
You're under arrest cause it's illegal"
So I shoved him off and he blew his whistle
I'm a pirate and I keep my loot,
So I blew him out with my bazooka

C30 C60 C90, go
Off the radio I get a constant flow
Hit it, pause it, record and play
Turn it, rewind and rub it away

You're rich enough to have a record collection
I'll bring my bazooka round for inspection

Sometimes it better get a hit twice as fast
So I press my playback to make it last
I breeze with the sleaze on my cassette
I've got the affirmative, I know you now!

C30 C60 C90 go
Off the radio I get a constant flow
Hit it, pause it, record and play
Turn it, rewind and rub it away

C30 C60 C90, go
C30 C60 C90, go
C30 C60 C90, go
C-3-0, C-6-0
C30 C60 C90, go
C90, go
3-0 6-0 9-0, go!

I think you'll find Alan Price claimed to have written " House of The Rising Sun "
There was a version a few years earlier by Joan Baez followed quickly by a Dylan one on his debut LP,which is probably where the Animals heard it. Dylan and Baez were only known to folkies in the UK when the Animals recorded it. Price DID write the distinctive organ riff that carries their version.

Ooh, you come out of a dream,
Peaches and cream,
Lips like strawberry wine,
You're sixteen,

You're beautiful and you're mine.
You're all ribbons and curls,
Oh, what a girl!
Eyes that twinkle and shine

You're sixteen,
You're beautiful and you're mine.
You're my baby, you're my pet,
We fell in love on the night we met.

You touched my hand, my heart went "pop",
And ooh, when we kissed we could not stop.
You walked out of my dream,
Into my arms,

Now you're my angel divine,
You're sixteen,
You're beautiful and you're mine.
You're my baby, you're my pet,

We fell in love on the night we met,
You touched my hand, my heart went pop,
Ooh when we kissed we could not stop.

You walked out of my dreams
and into my car,
Now you're my angel divine,
You're sixteen, you're beautiful, and you're mine.

I can see that you're fifteen years old
No I don't want your I.D.
And I can see that you're so far from home
But it's no hanging matter
It's no capital crime
