    letra de When I Kissed The Teacher

    Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher
    And they must have thought they dreamed when I kissed the teacher
    All my friends at school
    They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool
    Nearly petrified 'cause he was taken by surprise
    When I kissed the teacher
    Couldn't quite believe his eyes, when I kissed the teacher
    My whole class went wild
    As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled
    I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
    One of these days
    Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
    One of these days
    Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
    I was in a trance when I kissed the teacher
    Suddenly I took the chance when I kissed the teacher
    Leaning over me, he was trying to explain the laws of geometry
    And I couldn't help it, I just had to kiss the teacher
    One of these days
    Gonna tell him I dream of him every night
    One of these days
    Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright
    What a crazy day, when I kissed the teacher
    All my sense had flown away when I kissed the teacher
    My whole class went wild
    As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled
    I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher
    (I want to hug, hug, hug him)
    When I kissed the teacher
    (I want to hug, hug him)
    When I kissed the teacher
    (I want to hug, hug, hug him)
    When I kissed the teacher
    (I want to hug, hug him)
    When I kissed the teacher
    (I want to hug, hug, hug him)

    letra de Dancing Queen

    You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
    See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen
    Friday night and the lights are low
    Looking out for the place to go
    Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
    You come in to look for a king
    Anybody could be that guy
    Night is young and the music's high
    With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
    You're in the mood for a dance
    And when you get the chance
    You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
    Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
    You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
    See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen
    You're a teaser, you turn 'em on
    Leave them burning and then you're gone
    Looking out for another, anyone will do
    You're in the mood for a dance
    And when you get the chance
    You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
    Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
    You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
    See that girl, watch that scene, diggin' the Dancing Queen

    letra de My Love, My Life

    I've seen it on your face
    Tells me more than any worn out old phrase
    So now we'll go separate ways
    Never again we two
    Never again, nothing I can do
    Like an image passing by, my love, my life
    In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
    I can see it all so clearly
    Answer me sincerely
    Was it a dream, a lie
    Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
    Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
    But I know I don't posses you
    So go away, God bless you
    You are still my love and my life
    Still my one and only
    I've watched you look away
    Tell me is it really so hard to say
    Oh, this has been my longest day
    Sitting here close to you
    Knowing that maybe tonight we're trough
    Like an image passing by, my love, my life
    In the mirror of your eyes, my love, my life
    I can see it all so clearly
    Answer me sincerely
    Was it a dream, a lie
    Like reflections of your mind, my love, my life
    Are the words you try to find, my love, my life
    But I know I don't posses you
    So go away, God bless you
    You are still my love and my life
    Yes, I know I don't posses you
    So go away, God bless you
    You are still my love and my life
    Still my one and only

    letra de Dum Dum Diddle

    I can hear how you work, practising hard
    Playing night and day, wo-oh
    And it sounds better now, yes you improve
    Everytime you play, wo-oh
    But it's bad
    You're so sad
    And you're only smiling
    When you play your violin
    Dumb dumb diddle, to be your fiddle
    To be so near you and not just hear you
    Dumb dumb diddle, to be your fiddle
    I think then maybe you'd see me, baby
    You'd be mine
    And we'd be together all the time
    Wish I was dumb dumb diddle, your darling fiddle
    But I think, you don't know that I exist
    I'm the quiet kind, wo-oh
    From the day when I first listened to you
    You've been on my mind, wo-oh
    You don't care
    It's not fair
    And you're only smiling
    When you play your violin
    Dumb dumb diddle, to be your fiddle
    To be so near you and not just hear you
    Dumb dumb diddle, to be your fiddle
    I think then maybe you'd see me, baby
    You'd be mine
    And we'd be together all the time
    Dumb dumb diddle, to be your fiddle
    To be so near you and not just hear you
    Dumb dumb diddle, to be your fiddle
    I think then maybe you'd see me, baby
    You'd be mine
    And we'd be together all the time
    Wish I was dumb dumb diddle, your darling find

    letra de Knowing Me, Knowing You

    No more carefree laughter
    Silence ever after
    Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
    Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye

    Knowing me, knowing you
    There is nothing we can do
    Knowing me, knowing you
    We just have to face it, this time we're through
    (This time we're through, this time we're through
    This time we're through, we're really through)
    Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
    (I have to go this time
    I have to go, this time I know)
    Knowing me, knowing you
    It's the best I can do

    Mem'ries (mem'ries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days)
    They'll be (they'll be), with me (with me) always (always)
    In these old familiar rooms children would play
    Now there's only emptiness, nothing to say

    Knowing me, knowing you
    There is nothing we can do
    Knowing me, knowing you
    We just have to face it, this time we're through
    (This time we're through, this time we're through
    This time we're through, we're really through)
    Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
    (I have to go this time
    I have to go, this time I know)
    Knowing me, knowing you
    It's the best I can do

    letra de Money, Money, Money

    I work all night, I work all day, to pay the bills I have to pay
    Ain't it sad
    And still there never seems to be a single penny left for me
    That's too bad
    In my dreams I have a plan
    If I got me a wealthy man
    I wouldn't have to work at all, I'd fool around and have a ball

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich man's world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich man's world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    It's a rich man's world

    A man like that is hard to find but I can't get him off my mind
    Ain't it sad
    And if he happens to be free I bet he wouldn't fancy me
    That's too bad
    So I must leave, I'll have to go
    To Las Vegas or Monaco
    And win a fortune in a game, my life will never be the same

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich man's world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich man's world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    It's a rich man's world

    Money, money, money
    Must be funny
    In the rich man's world
    Money, money, money
    Always sunny
    In the rich man's world
    Aha-ahaaa
    All the things I could do
    If I had a little money
    It's a rich man's world

    It's a rich man's world

    letra de Why Did It Have To Be Me

    When you were lonely, you needed a man
    Someone to lean on, well I understand
    It's only natural
    But why did it have to be me?
    Nights can be empty, nights can be cold
    So you were looking for someone to hold
    That's only natural
    But why did it have to be me?

    I was so lonesome, I was blue
    I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
    Always thought you knew the reason why
    I only wanted a little love affair
    Now I can see you are beginning to care
    But baby, believe me
    It's better to forget me

    Men are toys in the game that you play
    When you get tired, you throw them away
    That's only natural
    But why did it have to be me?
    Falling in love with a woman like you
    Happens so quickly, there's nothing to do
    It's only natural
    But why did it have to be me?

    I was so lonesome, I was blue
    I couldn't help it, it had to be you and I
    Always thought you knew the reason why
    I only wanted a little love affair
    Now I can see you are beginning to care
    But baby, believe me
    It's better to forget me

    letra de Tiger

    The city is a jungle, you better take care
    Never walk alone after midnight
    If you don't believe it you better beware
    Of me
    I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
    People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
    The city is a nightmare, a horrible dream
    Some of us will dream it forever
    Look around the corner and try not to scream
    It's me
    I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
    People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
    Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
    Yellow eyes, the spotlight of the city nights
    I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
    People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
    The city is a prison, you never escape
    You're forever trapped in the alleys
    Look into the shadows and you'll see the shape
    Of me
    I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
    People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
    Yellow eyes are glowing like the neon lights
    Yellow eyes, the spotlight of the city nights
    I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
    People who fear me never go near me, I am the tiger
    And if I meet you, what if I eat you, I am the tiger
    I am behind you, I'll always find you, I am the tiger
    Tiger
    Tiger
    Tiger
