[CoffeeBeansGalore]

Ok folks here we go again!

Post a few lines of lyrics with the decade & let the rest of us have a go at guessing the song & artist.
Songs from 70s, 80s 90s. 😊

@CoffeeBeansGalore

I saw a mouse! (Where?) There on the stair! (Where on the stair?) Right there! A little mouse with clogs on Well I declare! Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair Oh yeah! 1965 (but thought it was 70s)

A Windmill in old Amsterdam. Can't remember who sang it I was a bit young but mum and I used to song along on the radio.🤣

Oh, and any poster who puts up.lyrics by a fluffy ventriloquist toy will be removed from this thread and quietly shot

Honeyroar, you make me laugh 👏

@VictoriousSockPuppet

For coffee

And she's always gone too long
Any time she goes away

70s

You gotta have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?

An old song that was an unexpected no 1 in the 80s

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to.me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine

60s

Finally one I know but I shall leave it as it is intended for @CoffeeBeansGalore.

Ah, should have pressed f5 before answering!

Vaguely @VictoriousSockPuppet

This is what we’ve waited for
This is it boys, this is war

99 Red Balloons Nena

My mum was a primary school teacher growing up, she had a book of songs considered suitable for young children to sing to which she used to play on the piano

Windmill in Amsterdam was one of them

Here's another

Old Ebenezer thought he was Julius Caesar
So they put him in a home
Where they gave him medicinal compound
Now he's emperor of Rome

1970s

1968 apparently

@shinynewapple2020 is the Nellie the Elephant?

@xsquared- Happy Talk- Captain Sensible.

@Willow2017 Full marks to you for proper title 😁

@VictoriousSockPuppet, yes Primary!

Xsquared - go for it. I answered the ones I knew

@shinynewapple2020-Lily The Pink?

@xsquared- Happy Together-The Turtles. I’ve been singing it to try to remember!

Blast, got my pink elephants mixed up 🤣

Next verse of my outstanding one.

Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up you dukes, let's get down to it
Chorus
You come on with it, come on
You don't fight fair
That's okay, see if I care
Knock me down, it's all in vain
I get right back on my feet again

Correct @Willow2017

@Imissmoominmama Both correct, but they were set by @VictoriousSockPuppet not me.

You can tell the world you never was my girl
You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone
You can tell your friends just what a fool I've been
And laugh and joke about me on the phone
1990s

@xsquared- sorry, I’m new to this!

Goodnight all

Thank you for the smiley ones 💕. See you tomorrow evening!

My grandad worked in a pharmacy and used to sell Lydia Pinkham's (Lily the Pink's) Medicinal Compound. It was for, ahem, "women's troubles" and contained a good deal of alcohol.

It was sung by The Scaffold.

No worries, I just didn't want to take credit for @VictoriousSockPuppet's suggestions.

Welcome @Imissmoominmama
@CoffeeBeansGalore That’s AchyBreaky Heart by Miley’s dad!

(line dances off to bed!)

@ThatLibraryMiss- I hadn’t realised it was a real product! My dad used to play it on the piano and we used to sing along from the songbook .
