Alright, so, uh, you wanted to mention something before we-
I-I-I wanna plug, uh, one thing.
I-I-I-I waited for Cher, I waited, you know, she's doing
solos, doing movies now, so I figured I-I'm gonna get a new singing partner.
So I've-I've
got a new singing partner.
Is that right?

For real, I have a new singing partner.
And what is her name?
Her name is, well, I'm gonna be with, uh, like, the Mamas and [F] Papas, Dion [D]-
But who will you be singing with?
I will be singing with Chastity Bono.
Oh, is [N] that right?

Who won't come out?
He's hiding back there in the center.
Do you think he's gonna ask me to come out there, Mom?
I'm not gonna come out there.
So-
Well, I wouldn't-I wouldn't-
She's a-
I said, I don't know.
You can never tell what he's gonna ask you to do.
Now, would you-if-if she [G#m] came home with a tattoo all over [G#] her butt, would that drive you nuts?
Well, [B] but, you know what?
I was 27 years old when I did that.
My mother doesn't tell me
what to do anymore.
[F#] I have to tell you something.
Today, Chastity was saying [G#]-we were discussing
the fact that I wanted to get a mohawk one time.
And Chastity threw herself against _ _ [N] the
door.
And she said, this is ridiculous.
She said, you should be throwing yourself against
the door saying, you know-
She's the voice of reason now.
She is the voice of reason.
I'm very reasonable, but when I-you bring out the worst in me.
No, I don't.
No, I don't.
Okay, now, what do you think?
You wanna try a little of this now?
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
You have a [F#] kind of a sore throat.
Yes.
But you sounded great.
Yeah, but I was so nervous, and I-and I-
We're all a little nervous, but this would be a wonderful way-
I wasn't nervous to be on the show with you.
I was nervous because I told her to do it.
Oh, [F] well.
[A#] Thanks, Paul.
Now, [F] it's right there.
You can [G] give it a shot.
Right here?
[F] Yeah, go right over there.
Come on.
You'll love it.
Sunny [A#] and clear.
_ [F] _ _ [A#] _ _ _
[F] _ [A#] Do I start?
[F] You start.
They say we're [A#] young and we don't [F] know.
We won't [A#] find out until [C] we grow.
_ [F] _ [C]
[F] I don't know [A#] if all that's true.
[F] Cause you [A#] got me and [D#] baby, [C] I got you.

[F] Before it's [A#] earned, our money [D#] has [C] all been spent.
_ [F] _ [C] [F] I guess that's [A#] so.
We don't have a [F] pot, but at least [A#] I'm sure of [D#] all the [C] things we got.

So let [B] them say your hair's too [F#] long.
I don't [B] care, [E] you are [C#] handsome as all.
[F#] Oh, that's what your [B] little hand and [F#] mine.
