Thanks For The Memory (Wham Bam Thank You Mam)

(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

Como estas chickadee
Have a housemaid on your knee
Eat an apple everyday
An onion keeps everyone away

Have an athlete on your feet
Have a love-smell on your sheet
Eat an apple everyday
The doctor has gotta keep away

He'll tell you
Thanks for the memory
Thanks for it all
Wham bam thank you mam
Thanks for the ball

Have a burglar alarm
Have a milkmaid on your farm
Can you raise a ballyhoo
If only there's nothing else to do

Have some butter with your fly
They said bananas could get you high
Eat an apple everyday
For the doctor has gotta earn his pay

He'll tell you
Thanks for the memory
Thanks for it all
Wham bam thank you mam
Thanks for the ball

Come a-west us chickadee
Tap the water on your knee
Eat an apple everyday
The doctor has gotta keep away

He'll tell you
Thanks for the memory
Thanks for it all
Wham bam thank you mam
Thanks for the ball
He'll tell you
Thanks for the memory yeh
Thanks for it all
Wham bam thank you very much mam
Thanks for the ball

Raining In My Champagne
(Noddy Holder & Jim Lea)

Yeah … I got a hole burnin' in my pocket
I got a gu-itar that wants to rock
I got a tune an' I wanna sock it
With electrical shock, yeah

I got some ants in my pants an' they're a-jumpin'
I've gotta get a shot of rhythm 'n' blues
I've got some hot stuff inside an' it's a-pumpin'
Down to my shoes, yeh yeh

It's raining down on me champagne
Let it rain, let it rain
It's raining, raining, raining champagne
It's gettin' into my brain, let it rain in my brain, again

I've got some soul burnin' in my pocket
I've got a hard workin' ol' mojo
I've got a gu-itar an' I wanna rock it
So come on let's go, go

Now there are some think a smile is smashin'
An' there are some who will never get two
An' there are some who really like it crashin'
How about you, you … you

It's raining down on me champagne
Let it rain, let it rain
It's raining, raining, raining champagne
It's gettin' into my brain, let it rain in my brain, again

I've got a hole burnin' in my pocket
Got a guitar an' I wanna rock it
I've got a tune and I wanna sock it
With electrical shock, yeah, yeah

It's raining down on me champagne
Let it rain, let it rain (let it rain, let it rain)
It's raining, raining, raining champagne
It's gettin' into my brain, let it rain in my brain, again

It's raining down on me champagne
Let it rain, let it rain
It's raining, raining, raining, raining
It's gettin' into my brain, let it rain in my brain, again
It's raining down on me champagne
Let it rain, let it rain
It's raining, raining, raining, raining, raining champagne
It's gettin' into my brain, let it rain in my brain, again
