There is more than one way to put the lyrics there.

Understand that you'd be in jail or broke if you sold songs with the lyrics and melody, so what you get is the book, and Notes has gone through, put in every chord, and added his best guess from the midi type files as a style.

So in my case I just go to the internet, and if looking for Four Strong Winds I find the words, copy them, open the lyrics 'clipboard' style window and paste them there. Make any edits or improvements.

I then resize for the whole gig the band in a box window to take up 2/3 of the screen, the right half 1/3 of the screen and use that to remember the lyrics.

There are other ways of course, but that works for me. Most songs are fairly short in that era.

I have some sheets I had out, and on those I left a space before the word where the chord changed, wrote chords in with bright red marker and they went over really well.

Lots of options.

Remember, a 50th birthday should involve a lot of joking at the start about the 'spanking' because that's just a British Tradition, bringing some potential stage props can make for an ongoing joke between pieces. Lots of fun.....even if you never get around to it, it lurks and lingers, clapping hands into mics.

I bet I found the words to all the songs in that book in a few seconds on the net.

And Amazon gets it to you in a few days. Once you download (takes seconds) the band in a box files you can just start and go. I add an intro. Paste the words. And mess with the style and tempo, and usually the key if I was singing. Or it's in 6 sharps. I can handle the rest but 6 sharps I should practice.
