[livejournal.com profile] susandennis said she had never heard of lyric books, so I plucked a couple of the pirated pre-copyright agreement books I bought in Thailand in the 70's, and scanned in a few pages. The mistakes are not as plentiful as I remembered, at least in these booklets. I just spotted on the shelf two full sized books which probably include a lot of amusing lyrics, but it's tired and I'm getting late, so here you go.

My wife is thai, and reading some of these is just like hearing her talk.

I saw your comment on Susandennis, and was hoping you'd post some of these.
