Thai Lyrics Books

[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. Click on an image to pop up the full size version.

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.
