Here they are, read 'em and weep!

Bonanza -----------------

	[Bonanza!]

	We chased lady luck 'til we finally struck bonanza
	With a gun and a rope and a hatfull of hope we planted
		our family tree
	We got ahold of a potfull of gold, bonanza
	With a horse and a saddle and a ring full of cattle,
		how rich can a fella be?
	
	On this land we put our brand, Cartright is the name
	Fortune smiled the day we filed the Ponderosa claim

	Here in the West we're livin' in the best bonanza
	If anyone fights anyone of us, he's gotta fight with me

	[Bonanza-aaa, Bonanza-aaa]

	Hoss and Joe and Adam know every rock and pine
	No one works, fights or eats like those boys of mine

	Here we stand in the middle of a grand bonanza
	With a gun and a rope and a hatfull of hope we planted
		our family tree
	We got ahold of a potfull of gold, bonanza
	With a house full of friends, where the rainbow ends,
		how rich can a fella be?
	
	On this land we put our brand, Cartright is the name
	Fortune smiled the day we filed the Ponderosa claim

	Here in the West we're livin' in the best bonanza
	The friendliest, fightenest, lovingest clan that ever
		set foot in the promised land
	And we're happier than them all
	That's why we call it,
	Bonanza... Bonanza... Bonanza... BONANZA.


Secret Agent Man -----------------

	There's a man who leads a life of danger
	To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
	With every move he makes
	Another chance he takes
	Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Chorus: Secret agent man
	Secret agent man
	They've given you a number
	And taken 'way your name

	Beware of pretty faces that you find
	A pretty face can hide an evil mind
	Oh, be careful what you say
	You'll give yourself away
	Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

	[Chorus]
	[Instrumental Break]
	[Chorus]

	Swingin' on the Riviera one day
	And then laying in a Bombay alley next day
	Oh no, you let the wrong words slip
	While kissing persuasive lips
	The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

	[Chorus]

	Secret agent man...
