FAT BOTTOMED GIRLS
Written by Brian May
Arrangement and recording ©R. Dreskin-Evans 2022
INTRO (chorus)
Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Ah down beside that red firelight?
Are you gonna let it all hang out?
Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round
VERSE 1
I was just a skinny lad. Never knew no good from bad
I knew life before I left my nursery
Left alone with big fat Fanny. She was such a naughty nanny
Hey big woman you made a bad boy out of me
VERSE 2
I've been singing with the band, Across the wire across the land
I seen ev'ry blue eyed floozy on the way – hey hey
But their beauty and their style, Went kind of flat after a while
Take me to them dirty ladies every time.
CHORUS
Are you gonna take me home tonight? Ah down beside that red firelight?
Are you gonna let it all hang out? Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round
VERSE 3
You’ve got mortgages and homes, I got stiffness in the bones
Ain't no beauty queens in this locality
Oh but I still get my pleasure. Still got my greatest treasure
Hey big woman you made a big man out of me.
CHORUS
Are you gonna take me home tonight? Ah down beside that red firelight?
Are you gonna let it all hang out? Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round
CHORUS <Overlap with verse #1>
CHORUS <Overlap with verse #2>
CHORUS
Are you gonna take me home tonight? Ah down beside that red firelight?
Are you gonna let it all hang out?
Fat bottomed girls You make the rockin' world go round
Fat bottomed girls … You make the rock-in'-world go round

She Said
Arrangement and Recording ©R. Dreskin-Evans 2022
VERSE 1
She said that time is unfair to a woman her age.
Now that wisdom has come, everything else fades,
She said she realizes that she's seen her better days.
VERSE 2
She said you can’t look back to the days of youth.
What she thought were lies, she later found was truth.
She said her daddy had dreams, but he drank them away,
and her mother's to blame, for the way she is today.
CHORUS
Life's river shall rise, she said.
Then only the strong shall survive, she said.
But I'm feeling quite weak, she said.
Will you comfort and forgive me? … she said.
VERSE 3
She said she's still searching for salvation's light.
Yeah, she wishes all day, and she prays all night.
She said she won't speak of love, ‘cause love she's never known.
And it's moments like these, she hates to be alone.
CHORUS
Musical Break
CHORUS (x2)
Forgive me, she said.
Forgive me, she said.

The Gambler & the Cowboy Mashup
Arrangement and Recording ©R. Dreskin-Evans 2022
INTRO
It was a hot summer night on a train bound for nowhere.
I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep.
We took turns staring out the window at the darkness.
Boredom overtook us. She began to speak.
GAMBLER - Verse 1
She said, "I've made a life out of reading people's faces,
and knowing what their cards were by the way they held their eyes.
And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces.
For a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice."
COWBOY - Verse 1
Gotta pack up your game, and head out west
Where women come equipped with scripts and fake breasts
Find a nest in the hills, chill like Flynt.
Buy an old drop-top, find a spot to pimp.
Kid rock-it up and down the block
With a bottle of scotch and watch lotsa crotch
Buy a yacht with a flag sayin' "chillin' the most"
Rock that bitch up and down the coast
GAMBLER – Verse 2
So I - handed her my bottle and she drank down my last swallow.
Then she bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
And the night got deathly quiet. Her face lost all expression.
Said, if you're gonna play the game, you gotta learn to play it right.
GAMBLER - Chorus 1
You got to know when to hold, know when to fold,
know when to walk away. Know when to run.
You never count your money when you’re sittin' at the table.
There's time enough to count when the deal is done.
KID ROCK - Babitawa
And this is for the questions that don't have any answers
The midnight glances, the topless dancers,
the gander freaks, cars packed with speakers
The g's with the forties, and the chicks with beepers
The northern lights, the southern comfort
It don't even matter if your veins are punctured
All the crackheads, the critics, the cynics
All my heroes at the methadone clinics
All you bastards at the i.r.s.
For the crooked cops and the crowded desks
For the shots of jack and the caps of meth
Half pints of love and the fifths of stress
For the hookers all tricking in Hollywood
For my hoods of the world misunderstood
It's all good. It's all in fun.
Now get in the pit and try to love someone.
GAMBLER - Chorus 2 (Babidawa backups)
You got to know when to hold, know when to fold,
know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your money sittin' at the table.
There's time enough to count it when the deal is done.
GAMBLER – Verse 3
Every gambler knows that the secret to survival
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause every hand's a winner and every hand's a loser,
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep.
And when she finished speaking, she turned back to the window,
crushed out that cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness, the gambler, she broke even,
And in her final words I found an ace that I could keep.
GAMBLER - Chorus 3
You got to know when to hold <echo>got to know when to hold
know when to fold <echo>know when to fold
know when to walk away and know when to run.
<echo>know - when to walk away and - know when to run
You never count your money while you’re sittin' at the table.
There's time enough to count it when the deal is done.
COWBOY - Chorus (x2)
.. if you want to be a Cowboy, baby
..with the top let back and the sunshine shining
(Cowboy, Baby) spend all my time at Hollywood and Vine
(Cowboy, Baby) riding at night 'cause I sleep all day
(Cowboy, Baby) I can smell a pig from a mile away
… with the top lid back and the sunshine shining
… with the top lid back and the sunshine shining
spend all my time at Hollywood and Vine
… with the top lid back and the sunshine shining
riding at night 'cause I sleep all day
… with the top lid back and the sunshine shining
I can smell a pig from a mile away
END Gambler/Overlap Cowboy
… with the top lid back and the sunshine shining …
<Overlap> And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, she broke even,
And in her final words I found an ace that I could keep.
<Overlap> with the top let back and the sunshine shining

You May Be Right
Arrangement and Recording ©R. Dreskin-Evans 2022
VERSE 1
Friday night I crashed your party. Saturday, I said I'm sorry.
Sunday came and trashed me out again.
I was only having fun. Wasn't hurting anyone, and we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
VERSE 2
I've been stranded in the combat zone. I walked through Bedford Stuy alone.
Even rode my motorcycle in the rain.
And you told me not to drive, But I made it home alive.
So, you said that only proves that I'm insane.
CHORUS
You may be right. I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
Turn out the light. Don't try to save me.
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right.
VERSE 3
Remember how I found you there, alone in your electric chair?
I told you dirty jokes until you smiled.
You were lonely for a man. I said "Take me as I am,
You might enjoy some madness for a while.”
Now think of all the years you tried to
Find someone to satisfy you. I might be as crazy as you say.
If I'm crazy then it's true, that it's all because of you,
And you wouldn't want me any other way
CHORUS
You may be right. I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
Turn out the light. Don't try to change me.
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right.
BREAK (overlap)
(x4) You may be right.
You may be wrong, but you may be right.
(x3) You may be wrong.
You may be wrong, but you may be right.
(x1) You may be right.
CHORUS
You may be right. I may be crazy
But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.
Turn out the light. Don't try to saveme.
You may be wrong for all I know, but you may be right.
You may be wrong, but you may be right.

Maria McKee - Show Me Heaven & Angel of The Morning by Juice Newton
Arrangement and Recording ©R. Dreskin-Evans 2022
Heaven Verse 1:
There you go
Flashing fever from your eyes
Hey babe, come over here and shut down tight
I'm not denying
We're flying above it all
Hold my hand, don't let me fall
You've such amazing grace
I've never felt this way
Heaven Chorus1:
Oh, show me heaven
Cover me
Leave me breathless
Oh, show me heaven please
Heaven Verse 2:
Here I go
I'm shaking just like a breeze
Hey babe, I need your hand to steady me
I'm not denying
I'm frightened as much as you
Though I'm barely touching you
I've shivers down my spine
And it feels divine
Heaven Chorus2
Angel Verse 1:
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
There's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Angel Chorus 1:
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, Angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Angel Verse 2:
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
And it won't matter anyhow
(Overlap) Heaven Verse 1:
There you go - Flashing fever from your eyes
Angel Verse 2:
If morning's echo says we sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
(Overlap) Heaven Verse 1:
Hey babe, come over here and shut them tight
Angel Verse 2:
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
Angel Chorus 2
Then slowly turn away. I won't beg you to stay, with me.

Baby hold me tight
And let this be...

<Red Wine > Verse:
Red red wine, goes to my head
Makes me forget that I still need her so ,
Red red wine, it's up to you.
All I can do I've done, but memories won't go.
No, memories won't go.
<Red Wine > Chorus:
I have sworn that with time, thoughts of you would leave my head.
I was wrong. Now I find just one thing makes me forget.
<Red Wine > Verse:
Red red wine, stay close to me
Don't let me be alone. It's tearing apart my blue, blue heart.
<Believer> Verse:
I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams
I thought love was more or less a giving thing
Seems the more I gave, the less I got
What's the use in tryin'?
All you get is pain.
When I needed sunshine, I got rain.
<Believer> Chorus:
Then I saw her face.
Now I'm a believer!
Not a trace of doubt in my mind.
I'm in love … I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her if I tried.
<Red Red Wine> Verse:
Red red wine, goes to my head.

All I can do I've done, but memories won't go.
No, memories won't go.
<Red Red Wine/Believer overlap>
Red red wine (Then I saw her face)
Goes to my head (Now I'm a believer!)
Makes me forget that I (Not a trace)
still need her so (Of doubt in my mind)
Red red wine (Then I saw her face)
It's up to you (Now I'm a believer!)
All I can do I've done, (Not a trace)
But memories won't go; (Of doubt in my mind)

I'm in love. I'm a believer.
I couldn't leave her if I tried.

The Leader of the Pack
Arrangement and Recording ©R. Dreskin-Evans 2022
Is she really going out with him?
Well, there she is, let's ask her.
Hey Bekky, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing? Mmhmm.
Gee, it must be great riding with him.
Is he picking you up after school today? Uh-uh.
By the way, where'd you meet him?
[Verse1]
I met him at the candy store.
He turned around and smiled at me, you get the picture?
Yes, we see
That's when I fell for the leader of the pack
[Verse2]
My folks were always putting him down. (Down Down)
They said he came from the wrong side of town.
He came from the wrong side of town
They told me he was bad, But I knew he was sad.
That's why I fell for the leader of the pack.
[Verse3]
One day my dad said find someone new. Find someone new
I had to tell my Jimmy we're through
Had to tell him, tell him that we were through
He stood there and asked me why, but all I could do was cry
I'm sorry I hurt you, leader of the pack
BRIDGE:
He sort of smiled, and kissed me goodbye. The tears were beginning to show.
As he drove away on that rainy night, I begged him to go slow.
Whether he heard me or not, I'll never know.
Look out, look out, look out, look out!
[Verse4]
I felt so helpless, what could I do?
Remembering all the things we'd been through.
In school they all stop and stare. I can't hide my tears, but I don't care.
I'll never forget him - The leader of the pack
(x4) The leader of the pack, but now he's gone

Don't Stand So Close to Me
Arrangement and Recording ©R. Dreskin-Evans 2022
Verse 1:
Young teacher, the subject of school girl fantasy.
She wants you so badly, knows what she wants to be.
Inside her there's longing. This girl's an open page.
Book marking - she's so close now. This girl is half your age.
Chorus:
Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Verse 2:
Her friends are so jealous. You know how bad girls get.
Sometimes it's not so easy to be the teacher's pet
Temptation frustration so bad it makes you cry
Wet bus stop - she's waiting. Your car is warm and dry
Chorus:
Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Bridge
(x6) Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Please don’t stand so close to me
Little Girl, with your big-girl needs, your big-girl parts, your big-girl fantasies
You see me, in your wildest dreams
But I’ll say it again - I can’t be what you dream so sweet
When you’re standing next to me
starry eyes, perfect skin, I feel your breath upon my neck
the office walls closing in.
You press against me, driving me crazy –
Please don’t stand to close to me …
Verse 3:
Loose talk in the class room too hurt they try and try.
Strong words in the staff room the accusations fly
It's no use you see her you start to shake and cough
just like the old man in that book by Nabakov.
Chorus:
Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
END:
(x4) Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me
Please don’t stand so close to me
(x2) Don't stand Don't stand so Don't stand so close to me

Thank you for being a friend, traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
VERSE 1:
Thank you for being a friend, traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
VERSE 2:
I ain’t ashamed to say it. I hope it always stays this way.
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow
CHORUS:
And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say: Thank you for being a friend … a friend
BRIDGE/RAP:
Thank you for being a friend.
Even when you disagree you always understand.
When I need a little re-venge, need a little fun
You’ll be there, with a martini and a gun.
Quick on the draw and quick with your tongue
You’re the very first one to tell me when I’m wrong.
I’ll be your Bea Arthur if you be my Betty White.
Let’s rock – this town tonight.
CHORUS:
And if you threw a party, invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say: Thank you for being a friend … a friend
VERSE 3:
Thank you for being a friend, traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
VERSE 4:
Thank you for being a friend, traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
CHROUS END:
And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hardly here
I will stand real close and say … Thank you for being a friend.

2000 miles is very far through the snow
I'll think of you wherever you go.
Verse1
He's gone. 2000 miles is very far.
The snow is falling down. Gets colder day by day. I miss you.
The children were singing. He'll be back at Christmas time.
Verse2
In these frozen and silent nights, sometimes in a dream you appear.
Outside, under the purple sky diamonds in the snow sparkle.
Our hearts were singing. It felt like Christmas time.
2000 miles is very far through the snow
I'll think of you wherever I go.
Verse3
He's gone. 2000 miles - it’s very far.
The snow is falling down. It gets colder day by day. I miss you.
END
I can hear people singing. It must be Christmas time.
Yes, the children are singing. He'll be back at Christmas time.
Christmas time … He'll be back at Christmas time. He'll be back at Christmas time.
