When Everybody's Here
(Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
Singing out a happy song
Fitting together right from wrong
Do it with a happy song
Get everybody here
Sing out a happy song
Before you know it, it won't be long
Do it with a happy song
When everybody here
Oh don't wait till a dark cloud passes over
Find us some shelter from the rain
Soon as the sunshines
We're going out we're going to go out and find us a beautiful
People to join us again and again
Singing out a happy song
Pitching together right from wrong
Do it with a happy song
Get everybody here
Sing out a happy song
Pitching together right from wrong
Do it with a happy song
Get everybody here
Soon as the sunshines
We're going out we're going to go out and find us a beautiful
People to join us again and again
Sing out a happy song
Pitching together right from wrong
Do it with a happy song
Get everybody here
Sing out a happy song
Pitching together right from wrong
Do it with a happy song
Get everybody here

Take The Gun
(Stephen Lalor)
Lead Singer: Bill
Hey woman want to word with you
Met some man set to do
Hey hey side track
Coming the main lines high and low
You better take your gun away
Leave on the morning train
You better take your gun and
Leave on the morning train
Now wait a minute don't you tell me no lies
Everything you said before was lies
But you ain't got time for us
And you won't get back what's gone
You better take your gun and
Leave on the morning train
You better take your gun
Leave on the morning train
Hey woman want a word with you
Met some man set to do
Hey hey side track
Coming the main lines high and low
You better take your gun away
Leave on the morning train
You better take your gun and
Leave on the morning train

Wish I Could Say The Same About You
(Bill Cowsill/Debra Clinger)
Lead Singer: Bill
I tried being fair
See a smile leaving there
I wish I could say the same about you
Long days on the road
Making me old
Guess I might say the same about you
You're too old yourself
What's making me well
Well I'm not too sure but you're making me down
Too scared to say
Too young to make it my way, whose to say
If you try treating me fair
I'll come over there
And then you can't say, the same about me
Try treating me fair
Well, I'll come over there
And then you can say, the same about me
Well why don't you try treating me fair
Come over there
Then you can say the same about me
If you try treating me
Well come over there
Then you can say the same about me
Only then can you say the same about me
Same about me
Then can you say
Then can you say
Then can you say
Then can you say

Nobody
(D. Cooper/E. Shelby/B. Beatty) - credited on some albums
(Bill Cowsill) - credited on some albums
Lead Singer: Bill
I'm going back a long time
Calling on the sad line
At everyone's gaze I would sing a million ways
Ahh but nobody plays like you do
Looking through a wide eye
I want to know, don't know why
Everyone's face, I still sing a million ways
Thinking how nobody plays like you do
Everyone raves how I sing a million ways
But nobody plays like you do
Nobody plays like you do

Ride
(S. Lalor/K. Magness)
Lead Singer: Bill
Dark streets, pouring rain
No work, going insane
If I don't get something better soon
I've tired of watching that eagle grin
Stretch on out of this hole I'm in
I'm going to pick up on that south side wind
Watch me ride
I've been black balled, left outside
Got so cold, stopped at the hide
I ain't got nobody, the most time spent
I'm tired of watcing that eale grin
Stretch on out of this hole I'm in
I'm going to pick up on some south side wind
Dark streets, pouring rain
No work, going insane
If I don't get something better soon
I've tired of watching that eagle grin
Stretch on out of this hole I'm in
I'm going to pick up on some south bound wind
Watch me ride
Tired of watching that evil grin
So tired of watching tht eagle grin
Tired of watcing that eagle grin
Going to pick up
Tired of watching that eagle grin
Tired of watching that eagle grin

I Only Want To Be With You
(Mike Hawker/Ivor Raymonds)
Lead Singer: Bill
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
As long as we're together, honey, I don't know
'cos you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
It's crazy to be true, I only want to be with you
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I wanna spend each minute of the day with you
Oh look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It happens to be true I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me
And asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance
Now let me tell you, I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'cos you started something, oh can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me
And asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
AndI didn't stand a chance
Now let me tell ya, I just wanna be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'cos you started something, oh can't you see
Ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
I said, no matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you

The End Of The World
(A. Kent/S. Dee)
Lead Singer: Bill
Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars shine above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
(spoken softly)
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry(end of spoken)
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

The Shoop Shoop Song
(Rudy Clark)
Lead Singer: Bill
Does she love me, I wanna know
How can I tell if she loves me so?
(Is it the way she walks?) Oh no,
You make believe
(Is it the way she talks?) Oh no,
You've been deceived
If you wanna know
If she loves you so
It's in her kiss
(Or is it in her face?) Oh, no
It's just her charm
(In her warm embrace?) Oh, no
That's just her arms
If you wanna know
If she loves you so
It's in her kiss
Whoa, kiss her and hold her tight
To find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in her kiss
(What about the way she walks?) Oh, no
That's not the way and
You're not listening to all I say
If you want to know if she loves you so
It's in her kiss
Whoa, kiss her and hold her tight
To find out what you wanna know
If it's love, if it really is
It's there in her kiss
(What about the way she walks?) Oh, no
That's not the way and
You're not listening to all I say
If you want to know if she loves you so
It's in her kiss
If you want to know if she loves you so
It's in her kiss

II x II
(David Ray credited, but really Bill Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Bill
Takin' my good friend Joshua
Well takin' my mother and my father too
Cuz when I get to the end of my highway
You know I want to be with you
We'll go two by two, Lord
Just open up your gate
We know the rules, Lord
Beg your pardon if we're late
We love our brothers now
What else is there to do
But to head on down the long road
Going two by two
Now I have cheated my lovers, Lord
I've sinned against many a man
Oh but I found out my satchel was empty, Lord
Won't you fill it up again
We'll go two by two, Lord
Just open up your gate
We know the rules, Lord
Beg your pardon if we're late
We love our brothers now
What else is there to do
But to head on down the long road
Going two by two
We'll go two by two, Lord
Just open up your gate
We know the rules, Lord
Beg your pardon if we're late
We love our brothers now
What else is there to do
But to head on down the long road
Going two by two
Two by two
Just open up your gate
Two by two Lord
Two by two
