Dum… Dum… Dum…

I don’t know much about history,
don’t know much about biology
don’t know much about a science book,
don’t know much about French I took,
but we’ll be OK if there’s a round on song lyrics!

Here’s 10 extracts from the lyrics of well-known popular songs. See if you can fill in the Dum… Dum… Dum… missing words. (Answers at the bottom of this blog.)

1. Another red letter day,
So the pound has dropped and the children are creating,
The other half ran away,
Taking all the cash and leaving you with the lumber,
Got a pain in the chest,
Doctors on strike what you need is a rest
It's not easy love,
but you've got friends you can trust,
Dum…dum…dum…dum

2. Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh, and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Oh, yeah.
Dum…Dum…Dum…Dum

3. Bah-da bah-da-da-da,
Bah-da bah-da-da-da,
Bah-da bah-da-da-da
Dum.., Dum.., Dum.. Dum.. Dum..Dum

4. I love the colourful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air
I'm pickin' up
Dum… Dum…

5. Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay
Dum… Dum…

6.  Dum… Dum…
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I...
...look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two.

7.  Cellophane flowers of yellow and green,
Towering over your head.
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes,
And she's gone.
Dum… Dum…Dum… Dum…Dum… Dum…

8.  In the cap she looked much older
And the bag across her shoulder
Made her look a little like a military man.
Dum… Dum…Dum… Dum…

9.  The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows when
But I'm strong
Strong enough to carry him
Dum… Dum…Dum…, Dum…Dum… Dum…

10.  And daddy doesn’t understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be show-ow-ow-ow-own?
Tell me why..
Dum… Dum…Dum…, Dum…

Oh no! Look who’s in…
