CROWD WHISTLES

PLAYS INTRO TO "WALK RIGHT BACK"

# I want you to tell me why you walked out on me

# I'm so lonesome every day

# I want you to know that since you walked out on me

# Nothin' seems to be the same old way

# Think about the love that burns within my heart for you

# The good times we had before you went away, oh me

# Walk right back to me this minute

# Bring your love to me Don't send it

# I'm so lonesome every day

# I want you to tell me why you walked out on me

# I'm so lonesome every day

# I want you to know that since you walked out on me

# Nothin' seems to be the same old way

# The good times we had before you went away, oh me

# Walk right back to me this minute

# Bring your love to me Don't send it

# I'm so lonesome every day

# I'm so lonesome every day

# I'm so lonesome every day. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Where have you been?

I don't hardly know what to say.

I've thought and thought and thought,

"What's the first words I should say?"

I just couldn't come up with anything other than...

-It's good to be back.

-It's good to be back.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm Don. I'm still the oldest one.

-Phil's catching up, though.

-Yeah, won't be long.

Won't be long before Phil's as old as I am, I guess, if he keeps going.

Anyway, we're happy to be here in Albert Hall.

This is an occasion for me,

I think, probably once in a lifetime it can happen to people.

Phil and I took our necessary vacation.

We enjoyed part of it and we hated part of it.

I think I can speak for Phil in saying that.

I think the question that's being asked the most now is

why in London, why the Albert Hall?

This place has been special to Phil and I.

One of our greatest memories is a night over a decade ago

here at Albert Hall with our father, and our mum was there,

we had a wonderful evening here at the Albert Hall.

Phil independently thought of it and I thought of it

when we decided it was time to get back together and sing again.

We both thought of London and the Albert Hall first.

That's why we're here.

We also knew you would be here too, that's true.

We didn't forget that.

SONG: "Crying In The Rain"

# I'll never let you see

# The way my broken heart is hurting me

# I've got my pride

# And I know how to hide

# All my sorrow and pain

# I'll do my cryin' in the rain

# If I wait for cloudy skies

# You won't know the rain

# From the tears in my eyes

# You'll never know that I still love you so

# Though the heartaches remain

# I'll do my cryin' in the rain

# Rain drops fallin' from heaven

# Could never wash away my misery

# Since we're not together

# I pray for stormy weather

# To hide these tears

# I hope you'll never see

# Some day when my cryin's done

# I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun

# I may be a fool, but till then

# Darling, you'll never see me complain

# I'll do my cryin' in the rain

# Rain drops fallin' from heaven

# Could never wash away my misery

# Since we're not together

# I pray for stormy weather

# To hide these tears

# I hope you'll never see

# Some day when my cryin's done

# I'm gonna wear a smile and walk in the sun

# I may be a fool, but till then

# Darling, you'll never see me complain

# I'll do my cryin' in the rain

# I'll do my cryin' in the rain

# I'll do my cryin' in the rain. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

SONG: "Cathy's Clown"

# Don't want your love

# Any more

# Don't want your kisses

# That's for sure

# I die each time

# I hear this sound

# Here he comes

# That's Cathy's clown

# I've got to stand tall

# You know a man can't crawl

# Well, he knows you tell lies

# Lets them pass by

# He's not a man at all

# Don't want your love

# Any more

# Don't want your kisses

# That's for sure

# I die each time

# I hear this sound

# Here he comes

# That's Cathy's clown

# When you see me shed a tear

# And you know that it's sincere

# Don't you think it's kind of sad

# You treat me so bad

# Or don't you even care?

# Don't want your love

# Any more

# Don't want your kisses

# That's for sure

# I die each time

# I hear this sound

# Here he comes

# That's Cathy's clown

# That's Cathy's clown

# That's Cathy's clown. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

SONG: "Love Is Strange"

Yeah!

# Woo-hoo-hoo

# Oh

# Love

# Love is strange

# Lots of people

# Take it for a game

# Once you've had it

# You never wanna quit

# After you've had it

# You're in an awful fix

# Love is strange

# Love is strange... #

Hey, Donald?

What, Phil?

Tell you what?

If you were sitting around some very lonely spot like the Holiday Inn...

Yeah?

..television's gone off...

..how would you call your baby?

You mean if I needed her real bad?

I mean if you needed her real bad.

-OK.

-And I have.

-I'll give it a go.

Try to get two.

I guess if I needed her real bad...

..I'd call her something like this...

I wonder if it still works.

# Baby

# Oh, sweet baby

# Oh, my baby

# Please come home... #

Yeah, that works.

-That works?

-That works.

# People

# Don't understand

# They think love is

# Money in the hand

# Once you've had it

# You never wanna quit

# After you've had it

# You're in an awful fix

# Love is strange

# Love is strange

# Love is strange. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

SONG: "Take A Message To Mary"

# These are the words

# Of a frontier lad

# Who lost his love

# When he went bad

# Take a message to Mary

# But don't tell her where I am

# Take a message to Mary

# But don't say I'm in a jam

# You can tell her I had to see the world

# Or tell her that my ship set sail

# You can say

# She'd better not wait for me

# But don't tell her I'm in jail

# Oh, don't tell her I'm in jail

# Take a message to Mary

# But don't tell her what I've done

# Please don't mention the stagecoach

# And the shot from a careless gun

# You can tell I went to Timbuktu

# Tell her that I'm searching for gold

# You can say

# She'd better find someone new

# To cherish and to hold

# Oh, Lord, this cell is cold

# Mary

# Mary. #

SONG: "Maybe Tomorrow"

# I know

# We'll love again

# Maybe tomorrow

# I don't know

# Where or when

# Maybe tomorrow

# Maybe tomorrow

# You say

# You say you're gonna cry

# Because

# We had to say goodbye

# Our love

# Will stand the test of time

# And the years

# Won't be there to draw the line

# I know

# We'll love again

# Maybe tomorrow

# Maybe tomorrow. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

SONG: "I Wonder If I Care As Much"

# Last night I cried myself to sleep

# For the one that makes me weep

# I dried my eyes to greet the day

# And wondered why I had to pay

# The tears that I have shed by day

# Give relief and wash away

# The memory of the night before

# I wonder if I'll suffer more

# I wonder if

# I care as much

# As I did before

# I wonder if

# I care as much

# As I did

# Before. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

I think there was included a couple of songs

you might not have heard us sing live before,

even after all these years,

in that particular group of songs.

Here's one Baby Boy Phil wrote.

One, two... One, two, three, four.

SONG: "When Will I Be Loved?"

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I've been lied to

# I've been made blue

# When will I be loved?

# I've been turned down

# I've been pushed around

# When will I be loved?

# Then I found a new girl

# That I want for mine

# Oh, she always breaks

# My heart in two

# It happens every time

# I've been cheated

# Been mistreated

# When will I be loved?

# Then I found a new girl

# Oh, that I want for mine

# She always breaks my heart in two

# It happens every time

# I've been cheated

# Been mistreated

# When will I be loved?

# When will I be loved?

# When will I

# Be loved? #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

SONG: "Bird Dog"

# Johnny is a joker

# He's a bird

# A very funny joker

# He's a bird

# But when he jokes my honey

# He's a dog

# His jokin' ain't so funny

# What a dog

# Johnny is a joker

# That's a-tryin' to steal my baby

# He's a bird dog

# Johnny sings a love song

# Like a bird

# He sings the sweetest love song

# You ever heard

# But when he sings to my gal

# What a howl

# To me he's just a wolf dog

# On the prowl

# Johnny wants to fly away

# And puppy-love my baby

# He's a bird dog

# Hey, Bird Dog Get away from my quail

# Hey, Bird Dog You're on the wrong trail

# Bird Dog, you'd better leave my

# Lovely-dove alone

# Hey, Bird Dog Get away from my chick

# Hey, Bird Dog You'd better get away quick

# Bird dog, you'd better find a chicken little of your own

# Johnny kissed the teacher

# He's a bird

# He tiptoed up to reach her

# He's a bird

# Well, he's the teacher's pet now

# He's a dog

# What he wants he can get now

# What a dog

# He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby

# He's a bird dog

# Hey, Bird Dog Get away from my quail

# Hey, Bird Dog You're on the wrong trail

# Bird Dog, you'd better leave my

# Lovely-dove alone

# Hey, Bird Dog Get away from my chick

# Hey, Bird Dog You'd better get away quick

# Bird Dog, you better find a chicken little of your own

# He's a bird

# He's a dog... #

You know what, he's a bird though.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now if that song didn't make sense, this one certainly is not going to.

SONG: "Be-Bop-A-Lula"

# Well

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

# Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

# Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby doll

# My baby doll, my baby

# She's the woman in the red-blue jeans

# She's the woman that's queen of the teens

# She's the one woman that I know

# She's the one woman loves me so

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

# Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby doll

# My baby doll, my baby

# She's the woman that's a-got that beat

# She's the woman with the flying feet

# She's the one woman that I know

# She's the woman that loves me so

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

# Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby doll

# My baby doll, my baby

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

# Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby

# Be-bop-a-lula, I don't mean maybe

# Be-bop-a-lula, she's my baby doll

# My baby doll, my baby doll. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Just when they needed it.

Oh, no, don't say that. People'll think you're getting old.

Well, you know, rock'n'roll is getting old.

INDISTINCT SHOUTS

"You never grow old with rock'n'roll" - I agree with that!

-I agree with that.

-APPLAUSE

And they said it wouldn't last!

That's the part that thrills me most.

Got any questions?

Yeah, what are we gonna do next?

SHOUTS FROM AUDIENCE

Oh, no.

We might get to that. Actually, the reason we sat down here,

I thought you might have some questions about

if we'd made up, REALLY,

or if we're just doing some big thing here.

We're friends again.

We never really WEREN'T friends, but, you know...

APPLAUSE

I think they deserve an explanation.

No, we actually sit down because we're tired.

All right, we did an album a long time ago -

probably one of the first albums -

and the title was Songs Our Daddy Taught Us.

We want to do a few selections from that album.

# 'Twas in the merry month of May

# When the flowers were a-bloomin'

# Sweet Willie on his deathbed lay

# For the love of Barbara Allen

# He sent his servant to the town

# The town where she did dwell in

# Saying, "Master dear has sent me here

# "If your name be Barbara Allen"

# Slowly, slowly she got up

# And slowly she went to him

# And all she said when she got there

# "Young man, I think you're dying." #

Mine asked for my cheque book.

APPLAUSE

That song, of course, goes on and on and on

and there was quite a lengthy version of it on the record,

but we thought we'd sing a few bars of it.

We haven't sang that in a long time.

This one either.

# Mother dear, come bathe my forehead

# For I'm growing very weak

# Mother, let one drop of water

# Fall upon my burning cheek

I' m going away to leave you, Mother darling

# Please remember what I say

# Do this, won't you please, dear Mother

# Put my little shoes away

# Santa Claus, he brought 'em to me

# With a lot of other things

# I believe he brought an angel

# With a pair of golden wings

# I'm going away to leave you, Mother darling

# Please remember what I say

# Do this, won't you please, dear Mother

# Put my little shoes away... #

APPLAUSE

It's sad.

That's the first song we sang.

# You cheated me and made me lonely

# I tried to be your very own

# There'll be a day

# You'll see me leaving

# But when I leave

# I'll be a long time gone

# Be a long time gone

# Be a long time gone

# Yes, when I leave

# I'll be a long time gone

# You're gonna be sad

# You're gonna be weepin'

# You're gonna be blue

# And all alone

# You'll regret the day

# You seen me leavin'

# Cos when I leave

# I'll be a long time gone

# Be a long time gone

# Be a long time gone

# Yes, when I leave

# I'll be a long time gone...#

All right!

APPLAUSE

We'd better do something.

One more of these songs, if I can remember all words.

# A nickel is a nickel and a dime is dime

# Get yourself a girl and you can have a good time

# You gotta step it up and go

# You gotta step it up and go

# Hey, you can't stand back

# You gotta step it up and go

# Jumped in the river and I started to drown

# Thought about my baby but I turned around

# You gotta step it up and go

# You gotta step it up and go

# Well, you can't stand back

# You gotta step it up and go

# Two old maids sittin' in the sand

# Each one wishin' that the other was a man

# You gotta step it up and go

# You gotta step it up and go

# Oh, you can't stand back

# You gotta step it up and go

# Some folk say that a preacher won't steal

# But I caught three in my cornfield

# You gotta step it up and go

# You gotta step it up and go

# Well, you can't stand back

# You gotta step it up and go... #

Oh, enough of that. We've got to step it up and go.

APPLAUSE

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

That was fun for us, anyhow.

Now we'll have to get the band back out.

You know, there is an interesting thing about Step It Up And Go.

The last time Don and I played Albert Hall, our father was here,

and that's one of the reasons we wanted to come back to Albert Hall.

Is anybody here that was here the last time?

-SEVERAL SHOUTS

-That's good.

Well, Dad did Step It Up And Go

so we were bound and determined that we'd do that,

-and I do hope that you all enjoyed it.

-We did those songs for us.

Thank you very much.

We'd like to dedicate that song

to all of you who showed up here tonight.

# Wake up, little Susie, wake up

APPLAUSE

# Wake up, little Susie, wake up

# We've both been sound asleep

# Wake up, little Susie and weep

# The movie's over, it's four o'clock

# And we're in trouble deep

# Wake up, little Susie

# Wake up, little Susie

# Well, what we gonna tell your Mama

# What we gonna tell your Pa?

# What are we gonna tell our friends when they say, "Ooh la la!"

APPLAUSE

# Darling, you can count on me

# Till the sun dries up the sea

# Until then I'll always be

# Devoted to you

# I'll be yours through endless time

# I'll adore your charms sublime

# Guess by now you know that I'm

# Devoted...

# ..to you

# I'll never hurt you

# I'll never lie

# I'll never be untrue

# I'll never give you reason to cry

# I'd be unhappy if you were blue

# Through the years our love will grow

# Like a river it will flow

# It can't die because I'm so

# Devoted..

# ..to you...#

# On the weekend pass

# I wouldn't have had time

# To get home and marry

# That baby of mine

# So I went to the chaplain and he authorised

# Me to send for my ebony eyes

# My ebony eyes was coming to me

# From out of the skies

# On Flight 1203

# In an hour or two I would whisper, "I do"

# To my beautiful ebony eyes... #

# Love hurts

APPLAUSE # Love scars

# Love wounds

# And mars

# Any heart

# Not tough

# Or strong enough

# To take a lot of pain

# Take a lot of pain

# Love is like a cloud

# Holds a lot of rain

# Love hurts

# Love hurts

# I'm young, I know

# But even so

# I know a thing or two

# I've learned from you

# I've really learned a lot

# Really learned a lot

# Love is like a stove

# Burns you when it's hot

# Love hurts

# Love hurts

# Some fools rave of happiness

# Blissfulness

# Togetherness

# Some fools fool themselves, I guess

# But they're not fooling me

# I know it isn't true

# Know it isn't true

# Love is just a lie made to make you blue

# Love hurts

# Love hurts

# Love hurts. #

APPLAUSE

# Now and forever

# Let it be me

# Don't take this heaven from one

# If you must cling to someone

# Now and forever

# Let it be me

# When I'm with you, love

# I find complete love

# Without your sweet love

# What would life be?

# So never leave me lonely

# Say that you love me only

# And that you'll always

# Let it be me

# When I'm with you, love

# I find complete love

# Without your sweet love

# What would life be?

# So never leave me lonely

# Say that you love me only

# And that you'll always

# Let it be me

# Say that you'll always

# Let it be me. #
