I awakened this morning, I was filled with despair
All my dreams turned to ashes and gall, oh yeah
As I looked at my life it was barren and bare
Without love I've had nothing at all
[Chorus:]
Without love I had nothing
Without love I had nothing at all
I have conquered the world
All but one thing did I have
Without love I had nothing at all
Once I had a sweetheart who loved only me
There was nothing, oh that she would not give, oh no
But I was blind to her goodness and I could not see
That a heart without love cannot live
Why don't you love me like you used to do?
How come you treat me like a worn out shoe?
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer, further
Closer than a country mile
Why don't you spark me like you used to do?
And say sweet nothing's like you used to coo
I'm the same old trouble that you've always been through
So why don't you love me like you used to do?
Well, why don't you just be like you used to be?
How come you find so many faults with me?
Somebody's changed so gimme a clue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?
Ain't had no lovin' like a huggin' and a kissin'
In a long, long while
We don't get nearer, further
Closer than a country mile
Why don't you say the things you used to say?
What makes you treat me like a piece of clay?
My hair's still curly and my eyes are still blue
Why don't you love me like you used to do?
Why don't you love me like you used to do?
Baby, I love you
And you know my love is true
Swim the ocean, gonna fight a tiger
Do anything for you
It's alright, don't you know it's alright?
Each and every day
You can hear me say
It's alright, oh yeah
You've been so good to me, yeah, yeah

I was slippin and slidin with a long tall Sally
Peekin' and a hidin',duck back in the alley
Don't wanna rip it up,don't wanna dance with Annie
I've got a brand new lover name is Short Fat Fannie
One day while I was visit'n at HeartBreak Hotel
Thats where I met Fannie and she sure looked swell
I told her that I loved her and I'd never leave
She put her arms around me, gave me fever
She's my tutti fruiti,I love the child so
She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go
Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's
She might step on my blue suede shoes
Well at a honky tonk party just the other night
Fannie got jealous and she started a fight
At the club I was dancin with MaryLou
I had to call Jim Dandy to the rescue
Short Fat Fannie she's my hearts desire
Short Fat Fannie sets my soul on fire
On Monday we were married on Blueberry Hill
Now we're so happy and I love her still
---- Instrumental Interlude ----
She's my tutti fruiti,I love the child so
She watch me like a hound dog everywhere I go
Whenever I'm around her I'm on my p's and q's
She might step on my blue suede shoes
Well at a honky tonk party just the other night
Fannie got jealous and she started a fight
At the club I was dancin with MaryLou
(Joe Morris)
Just leave it to me
Don't ever be ashamed
Just give me a chance
I'll take care of everything
Your troubles I'll share
Let me know and I'll be there
I'll take care of you
Anyplace and anywhere
[Chorus:]
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
Be truthful to me
I'll be truthful to you
I'm in love with you so
Till I don't know what to do
So, let's call it a day
I said all I have to say
Except don't forget to pray
And shake a hand ev'ry day
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand, oh Lord
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand if you can
One more time
[Chorus]
Shake a hand, shake a hand
Shake a hand, shake a hand, oh Lord
Saturday night and I just got paid

Gonna ball it up

And ball tonight, ("aww"-scream)

(Price)
Well lawdy, lawdy, lawdy miss clawdy
Girl you sure look good to me
But please don't excite me baby
I know it can't be me
'Cause I give you all my money
Yeah but you just won't treat me right
You like to ball every morning
Don't come home till late at night
Gonna tell, tell my mama
Lord, I swear girl what you been doing to me
I'm gonna tell everybody that I'm down in misery
So bye, bye, bye, baby
Gal, I won't be comin' no more
Goodbye little darlin' down the road I'll go (* See
below)
So, bye, bye, bye baby
Girl, I won't be comin' no more
I am weak but Thou art strong
Jesus keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee
CHORUS:
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me shall be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom?s shore, to Thy shore
When life's sun sinks in the west
Lord, may I have done my best
May I find sweet peace and rest
In that happy home of the blessed
I'm all alone
Alone in this world
I'm all alone
And I lost my only girl
I'm all alone
Yes, I need some one to love
I'm all alone
Alone in this world
Once I had a love
[Incomprehensible]
But that love struck me
She up and put me down
I'm just a lonely
A lonely, lonely guy
A lonely guy in this town
Oh, yes
A lonely guy in this town
If my baby
Can't be found
I'm going to the river
Jump overboard and drown
I'm just a lonely
A lonely, lonely guy
I feel so low down
Oh, feel so low down
If my baby
Can't be found
Yes, I'm going to the river
Jump overboard and drown
I'm just a lonely
A lonely, lonely guy
And I feel so low down
(Jerry Lieber / Mike Stoller)

People are talking all over town
They say you're tired of me
Going to put me down
Please don't leave me
Don't deceive me
Please don't go
You know I love you
You know it's true
That's why you treat me
The way you do
You said you loved me
You said you loved me
Please don't go
When I first met you
No, I didn't love you
I just tried to treat you nice
Since I've been with you
Yes, I've learned to love you
And I want you all the
Rest of my life
I used to call you my lover boy
You were always my pride and joy
Please don't leave me
You know you'll grieve me
I can't believe you wanna leave
When you know it'd hurt me so
And on bending knees
I beg you please not to go
Take the vows of love we had
And all the fun that we had
And now you know you wanna leave
Don't you know that it'd drive me mad
My life
My heart
My love is in your hands
And now you want to leave me
You wanna leave me for another man
Take the vows of love we had
And all the fun that we had
And now - you wanna leave
Now, don't you know that would drive me mad
break:
My heart
My love
My life is in your hands
And now - you want to leave me
You wanna leave me for another man
Take the vows of love we had
And all the fun that we had
And now you know you wanna leave

Well it's Friday evening about a half past five,
Wait a minute here I can't believe my eyes,
I looked up yonder by the railroad track,
There goes Annie in a brand new Cadillac,
Annie is back, back, back,
In a brand new Cadillac,
Annie is back, back, back,
In a brand new Cadillac,
Now she's lookin' good,
Now she'll know how to act.
She says Flat Foot Henry was my sturdy dad,
But he put me down when things went bad,
But now I'm back and I must be keen,
I'm dressed up now and no dirty dirty jean,
Annie is back, back, back, ...
Well she went to get a soda turned everybodys eyes,
Says Flat Foot Fannie, she's been tellin' lies,
She says I'm back and I'll make them true,
If you don't watch out, I'm gonna take Henry, too,
Annie is back, back, back, ...
Now I'm lookin' good,
Now she'll know how to act.
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she walks by, the men folks get engrossed,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she winks an eye, the bread slice turn to toast,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she got a lot, of what they call the most,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
The girl can't help it, she was born to please,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
And if she's got, a figure made to squeeze,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
Won't you kindly be aware, the girl can't help it,
The girl can't help it,
If she mesmerizes, every mother's son,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
If she's smiling, beefsteak become well done,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
She makes grand pa feel like twenty one,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
The girl can't help it, she was born to please,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
And if I go to her, on bended knees,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it,
Won't you kindly be aware, that I can't help it,
I can't help it,
Because I'm hoping, obviously,
That some day, the answer would be,
The girl can't help it, she's in love with me,
She can't help it, the girl can't help it.
Lucille, you won't do your sisters will
Lucille, you won't do your sisters will
You ran out and married but I love you still
Lucille, please come back where you belong
Oh, Lucille, please come back where you belong
I've been good to you, baby, please don't leave me alone
I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight
Lucille, please come back where you belong
I've been good to you, baby, please don't leave me alone, no
I woke up this mornin', Lucille was not in sight
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight
Lucille, please come back where you belong
I've been good to you, baby, please don't leave me alone
Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart, Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart
(Lewis - Stock - Rose)
I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
It lingered until my dreams came true

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be
Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
[Chorus]
Tho' we're apart, you're part of me still

(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she got a lot of what they call the most
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it, she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if she's got a figure made to squeeze
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Won't you kindly be aware, the girl can't help it
(The girl can't help it)
If she mesmerizes, every mother's son
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she's smiling, beefsteak become well done
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
She makes grandpa feel like twenty one
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it, she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if I go to her on bended knees
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
Won't you kindly be aware, that I can't help it
(I can't help it)
Because I'm hoping, obviously
That some day, the answer would be
The girl can't help it, she's in love with me
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she walks by, the men folks get engrossed
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
If she winks an eye, the bread slice turn to toast
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
She got a lot of what they call the most
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
The girl can't help it, she was born to please
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
And if she's got a figure made to squeeze
(She can't help it, the girl can't help it)
I'm hoping, obviously
That some day, the answer would be
The girl can't help it, she's in love with me

[Saxes and piano]
feel pretty
Oh so pretty
I feel pretty and witty and gay
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me today
I feel charming
Oh so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real
See the pretty girl in that mirror there?
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running
And dancing for joy
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy
GIRLS
Have you met my good friend Maria
The craziest girl on the block?
You'll know her the minute you see her
She's the one who is in an advanced state of shock
She thinks she's in love
She thinks she's in Spain
She isn't in love
She's merely insane
It must be the heat
Or some rare disease
Or too much to eat
Or maybe it's fleas
Keep away from her
Send for Chino
This is not the Maria we know
Modest and pure
Polite and refined
Well-bred and mature
And out of her mind!
Miss America, Miss America, speech!
Miss America, bravo, speech!
MARIA
I feel pretty
Oh so pretty
That the city should give me its key
A committee
Should be organized to honour me
I feel dizzy
I feel sunny
I feel fizzy and funny and fine
And so pretty
Miss America can just resign
See the pretty girl in that mirror there
(What mirror, where?)
Who can that attractive girl be?
(Which, what, where, whom?)
Such a pretty face
Such a pretty dress
Such a pretty smile
Such a pretty me!
MARIA & GIRLS
I feel stunning
And entrancing
Feel like running and dancing for joy
For I'm loved

[Recorded for the film "Clambake"]
Line up girls, I'll show you what to do
This boat will sparkle like a diamond when we get
through
By the numbers there ain't much time
We're gonna start an assembly line
[Chorus:]
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
You get the sandpaper, you get the pails
You get the hammer baby, you get the nails
You get the paint, you get the brush
'Cos we're gonna give it the special touch
[Chorus]
We got a magic potion that will help us win
I don't know how to spell it but dip right in
Glycooxytonic phosphate, it's the latest scoop
But it's alright girls you can call it "Goop"
[Chorus]
Work the sandpaper, hammer that nail
Tote that paintbrush and lift that pail
Get a rhythm going, nice and easy
Come on and use a little elbow greasey
[Chorus]
O.K. girls, when we're all through
I'm gonna tell you what we're gonna do
We'll fall right down and have some fun
And I'm gonna kiss you all one by one
[Chorus]
Huh, Huh, Huh
[Chorus]
Huh, Huh, Huh
Originally by: Johnny Cash
Get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon, get rhythm when you get the blues
Get a rock 'n' roll feelin' in your bones
Get taps on your toes and get gone
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Little shoeshine boy never gets low down
But he's got the dirtiest job in town
Bendin' low at the peoples' feet
On the windy corner of the dirty street
Well, I asked him while he shined my shoes
How'd he keep from gettin' the blues
He grinned as he raised his little head
Popped a shoeshine rag and then he said
Hey, get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon, get rhythm when you get the blues
Yes a jumpy rhythm makes you feel so fine
It'll shake all the trouble from your worried mind
Get rhythm when you get the blues
Well, I sat down to listen to the shoeshine boy
And I thought I was gonna jump for joy
Slapped on the shoe polish left and right
He took a shoeshine rag and he held it tight
He stopped once to wipe the sweat away
I said you're a mighty little boy to be-a workin' that
He said I like it with a big wide grin
Kept on a poppin' and he said again
Get rhythm when you get the blues
C'mon, get rhythm when you get the blues
It only costs a dime, just a nickel a shoe
Does a million dollars worth of good for you
Sittin' in the morning sun
I'll be sittin' when the evening comes
Watching the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again, yeah
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the Frisco bay
'Cos I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way
So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
Everything still remains the same
I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, listen
Sittin' here resting my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone, listen
2000 miles I've roamed
Just to make this dock my home
Now I'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Chains of love
Has tied my heart to you
Chains of love
Have made me feel so blue
Well, now I'm your prisoner
Tell me what you're gonna do
Are you gonna leave me
Are you gonna make me cry
Are you gonna love me
Are you gonna make me cry
These chains of blues gonna haunt me
Until the day I die.
Well, if you're gonna leave me
Please won't you set me free
Well, if you're gonna leave me
Please won't you set me free
I can't stay here with these chains
Less'n you stay on here with me
Well, three 'o clock in the morning
Baby the moon is shining bright
Yeah, three 'o clock in the morning
The moon is shining bright
I'm just sitting here wondering
By the light of the silvery moon,
I want to spoon, to my honey I'll croon love's tune,
Honeymoon keep a shining in June,
Your silvery beams will bring love dreams, we'll be
cuddling soon,
By the light of the moon.
