# Cause I know-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow

# Angel eyes, I really love you so

'50s hit style, and that could be another one for them, I think.

And here's Rasputin at number two,

# Most people looked at him

# It was a shame how he carried on

# He ruled the Russian land

when he had a girl to squeeze

# Lover of the Russian queen

# It was a shame how he carried on. #

But when his drinking and lusting

and his hunger for power became known to more and more people,

the demands to do something

# "This man's just got to go,"

# Though he was a brute they

# Set a trap, they're not to blame

# Lover of the Russian queen

# They put some poison into his wine

# Russia's greatest love machine

Boney M, number two, and Rasputin.

Three Degrees, Giving Up and Giving In. Lend us a quid to go down the pub with Sham 69, will you?

# If we're going down the pub

# I wish you'd listen to me

# So now's the time to begin

# We're going down the pub. #

# We're going down the pub. #

# Spring was never waiting for us

# 'Til it ran one step ahead

# As we followed in the dance

# I don't think that I can take it

# Cos it took so long to bake it

# I recall the yellow cotton dress

# On the ground beneath your knees

Chinese checkers by the trees

# I don't think that I can take it

# Cos it took so long to bake it

# Except for toffee wrappers

# Headlines of death and sorrow

# "Have you got any money?"

# And I say, "I've a little

# "I'm on my way home to my wife

# "She'll be lining up the cutlery

# "You know she's expecting me

# I could now smell their breath

# And too many right-wing meetings

# It took a look and drowned me

# The smell of brown leather

# It blended in with the weather

# I said I was down in the tube

# The last thing that I saw as I lay there on the floor

# Was "Jesus Saves" painted

# And a British Rail poster

At Midnight, that's the Jam.

At number one, still, OJ and ONJ.

# Summer lovin' had me a blast

# Summer lovin' happened so fast

# I met a girl crazy for me

# I met a boy, cute as can be

# Summer days driftin' away

# To uh-oh, those summer nights

# Oh-well-a-well-a-well-a, uh

# Tell me more, tell me more

# Tell me more, tell me more # Like, does he have a car?

# Uh-huh # Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

# She swam by me, she got a cramp

# He went by me, got my suit damp

# He showed up, splashing around

# Summer sun, something's begun

# But uh-oh, those summer nights

# Oh-well-a-well-a-well-a, uh

# Tell me more, tell me more # Was it love at first sight?

# Tell me more, tell me more

# Took her bowlin' in the arcade

# We went strollin', drank lemonade

# We made out under the dock

# We stayed up till ten o'clock

# Summer fling don't mean a thing

# But uh-oh, those summer nights

# Tell me more, tell me more

# Tell me more, tell me more

# Cos he sounds like a drag

# Shood-a-bop-bop, shood-a-bop-bop

# He got friendly, holdin' my hand

# He was sweet, just turned eighteen

# But uh-oh, those summer nights

# Tell me more, tell me more

# How much dough did he spend?

# You still follow same old scheme
