8 themed rounds - 10 questions on each

LAW AND ORDER

1 They're trying to track me down,
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy

2 I have legalized robbery
Called it a belief
I have run with the money
And hid like a thief

3 It´s against the law
It was against the law
What the mama saw
It was against the law

4 And the jailer man and Sailor Sam
Were searching everyone

5 The warden threw a party in the county jail
Prison band was there and they began to wail

6 We all got balls and brains
But some's got balls and chains
At the local dance at the local county jail

7 Well they used to sit and speculated upon their son's career
A lawyer or a doctor or a civil engineer

8 They robbed a store
and hightailed outa that town
Got clean away in a stolen car
And waited 'til the heat died down

9 The FBI's most wanted woman.
Her photo is hanging on every post office wall. If you have any
Information about this woman please contact your nearst police station...

10 Bobbies on bicycles
two by two

GIRLS, GIRLS, GIRLS (All the titles include a girls name)

1 Went to a dance looking for romance
Saw [... song title ...] so I thought I´d take a chance

2 All I wanna do when I wake up in the morning is see your eyes

3 Hold on to sixteen as long as you can
Changes come around real soon
Make us women and men

4 Lovers appear in your room each night
and they whirl you across the floor.
But they always seem to fade away
when your daddy taps on your door.

5 I suppose I could collect my books and go on back to school
Or steal my daddy´s cue and make a living at playing pool

6 The movie wasn?t so hot
It didn?t have much of a plot
We fell asleep
Our reputation is shot

7 You Fill up my Senses, Like a Night in a Forest
Like The mountains in Springtime
Like A Walk in The Rain

8 Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade sky

9 She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air

10 I don't why why she's leaving
or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know

ON THE ROAD

1 My friends all drive Porsches
I must make amends

2 I was a lonely teenage broncing buck
with a pink carnation and a pickup truck

3 It's a girl, my lord, in a flat bed Ford
slowin' down to take a look at me.

4 Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone

5 Holly came from Miami F-L-A
Hitchhiked her way across the U-S-A

6 It was made in fifty-nine
In a factory by the Tyne
It says Morris on the door
The GPO owned it before

7 At the age of thirty-seven
She realised she?d never ride
Through Paris in a sports car
With the warm wind in her hair

8 there's six lanes of traffic
three lanes moving slow. . .

9 This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway

10 Drive my truck midway to the motorway station
Fair-lane cruiser coming up on the left hand side

GLOBETROTTING (all the answers include place names)

1 But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright

2 I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich

3 All across the nation such a strong vibration people in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation

4 Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the west behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout

5 And the northern girls, with the way they kiss
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

6 Joseph's face was black as night
The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
His path was marked
By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere

7 It's Iceland or the Philippines or Hastings or or this place!

8 And everyone is blonde
And everyone is beautiful
and when blondes and beautiful are multiple
they become so dull and dutiful

9 The image has gone only you and I.
It means nothing to me.
This means nothing to me.

10 All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines

A MUSICAL FEAST (food and drink)

1 I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
I like my toast done on the side

2 They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air

3 She keeps Moet et Chandon in her pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Just like Marie Antoinette

4 I'm not much into health food,
I am into champagne.

5 I hurried back to the swimming pool
Sinkin' pina coladas

6 Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
'Cause it took so long to bake it
And I'll never have that recipe again

7 So I called up the Captain
Please bring me my wine

8 We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday
In a bar that faces a giant carwash

9 You can almost taste those hot dogs and french fries they sell

10 Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear

LOOK AND LISTEN (TV and radio)

1 I heard you on the wireless back in Fifty Two
Lying awake intent at tuning in on you.

2 There's a band playing on the the Radio

3 We watch the shows -- we watch the stars,
On videos for hours and hours

4 Playin' all the hits for you
Wherever you may be.
The bright good morning voice
Who is heard, but never seen!

5 We moved into a basement
With talks of our engagement
We stayed in by the telly
Although the room was smelly

6 Turned on the Radio
Sounded like a Disco
Musta Turned the dial
for a couple of miles
But I couldn't find no Rock'nRoll

7 We'll leave the TV and the radio behind

8 AM FM I feel so ecstatic now

9 I'd rather have a piece of toast.
Watch the evening news.

10 Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a
transistor radio.

ON THE PHONE

1 Desperately remained at home inventing lovers on the phone

2 And the operator says "40 cents more for the next 3 minutes"

3 You can have it with a buzz,
you can have it with a ring
And if you really want it
you can have a ding-a-ling

4 I'm in the phone booth,
it's the one across the hall
If you don't answer,
I'll just ring it off the wall

5 And just because I call you up,
Don't get me wrong,
don't think you've got it made.

6 [song title]
But there's no reply
[song title]
Why do you keep me hanging on the line

7 Hello--how are you
Have you been alright

8 [song title] why don't you give me a call?
[song title] the happiest sound of them all

9 Long distance information, give me [song title]
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call

10 The phone rings in the middle of the night,
my father yells, 'what you gonna do with your life?'

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY

1 Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job

2 What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin'
And no givin'

3 There's a man I meet walks up our street
he's a worker for the council
has been twenty years
and he takes no lip off nobody
and litter off the gutter

4 And they've been working all day, all day, all day!

5 Two hours of pushing Broom buys an eight by 12 4-bit room

6 But I can't be late, 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid
These are the days when you wish your bed was already made

7 I wouldn't have to work at all,
I'd fool around and have a ball...

8 he works from nine till five and then
He takes another home again

9 You know I work all day,
To get you money to buy you things

10 The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
They're refusing to be pacified it's him they blame the most
