"You can leave your hat on" - another activity involving phrasal verbs


My personal comment for this activity - You may find it useful for intermediate, upper-intermediate and advanced levels. The first clip available below is from the film "9 1/2 Weeks". If you find students are not mature enough to watch it, use the clip by Joe Cocker.

Lyrics for the song:


You Can Leave Your Hat On
by Joe Cocker
Album: Cocker (1986)

Baby, take off your coat...real slow
Baby, take off your shoes..., I'll take your shoes
Baby, take off your dress
Yes, yes, yes

CHORUS
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on
You can leave your hat on

Go on over there and turn on the light...no, all the lights
Now come back here and stand on a chair... yes, that's right
Raise your arms up in to the air... and shake 'em

You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live
You give me a reason to live

Sit down there

CHORUS

Suspicious minds are talking
They try to tear us apart
They don't believe of this love of mine

They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is
They don't know what love is

I know what love is

CHORUS
