He’s a happy feat  
cause he’s to the beat  
of the Freddie Freddie  
But a guy in front making a lining bop  
can you ready? ready  
Kick your feet up , swing your arms up too  
move your head both ways, like you see me do  
then just repeat through the swinging beat  
Do the Freddie , Freddie  
Do the Freddie, Freddie

Little _ **Geo** _ is a friend of mine.  
We get some money, and we buy some cheap wine,  
Sit on the corner and have a holiday,  
Hide the bottle when the cop goes by,  
Talk about women and lie, lie, lie.  
My other world is only half a mile away.

-Billy Joel

I married **Isis** on the fifth of May  
But I could not hold on to her very long  
So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away  
To the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong.

So what do we call this miracle we’ve made  
And how can I find one word to say it  
When all I’m feeling, here and now, is love  
So that will always be you

Well, if she’s in the mood  
No need to break it  
I got the chance and I oughta take it  
If she can dance we can make it

I said go, go, go, Little Queenie  
I said go, go, go, Little Queenie!
