COME AND JOIN US (Pete Ham)
[from Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67 CD - recorded 1966 - released U.S. 2013]

Get up off your backsides
It's time to have a ball
So maybe you've got worries
But just forget them all
And come and join us
See what we can do
Come and join us
Well you know that life's too short
And the time cannot be bought
So come and join us
And have a ball

Everybody clap your hands
Just listen to the beat
Everybody stamp your feet
And stamp your plates of meat
Grab a partner, turn around
And do the Bumps-a-Daisy
Come on George, come on Jean
And bring your Auntie Maisey

Come and join us
See what we can do
Come and join us
Well you know that life's too short
And the time cannot be bought
So come and join us
And have a ball
Woooo

Come and join us
Come and join us
Come and join us
Come and join us

Well you know that life's too short
And the time cannot be bought
So come and join us
And have a ball

Everybody touch your toes
Oh, beg your pardon, Jack
Do a dance the right way 'round
Then do it back-to-back
Form a circle holding hands
I guess you know what's coming
Yeah, that's right, the Hokey Cokey
Everybody running

Come and join us
See what you can do
Come and join us
Well, you know that life's too short
And the time cannot be bought
So come and join us
And have a ball

Come and join us
Wooooo
Come and join us
Come and join us
Wooooo
Come and join us
Well you know that life's too short
And the time cannot be bought
So come and join us


Come and join us
Wooooo

Come and join us
Wooooo

Come and join us...
